Xiao Hu's mother was stunned for a moment, her eyes reddened, and her nose felt sore. She laughed and scolded, "Du Guoqiang, what's wrong with you!"
It's so embarrassing to make her cry, especially with Ye Qingqing and Lin Baiwei right there.
Du Guoqiang (Xiao Hu's father) was also quite embarrassed. He sniffed, wiped his eyes, and glanced at Lu Mo. Lu Mo was looking at the three children and not at him, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, it would have been quite embarrassing.
"N-nothing, I didn't say anything. I'm hanging up now. Xiaohu called me."
"Why are you sniffing? Du Guoqiang, are you crying? What's wrong?" Zhou Yueyun (Xiaohu's mother) asked in confusion.
Du Guoqiang shouted in a panic, "Nonsense! Why would a grown man like me cry? My nose is just a little stuffy. Okay, okay, Xiao Hu keeps barking. I'll stop now."
Du Guoqiang quickly hung up the phone, sniffed hard, and wiped his eyes a few more times with the back of his hand. Why couldn't he stop the tears? The older he got, the less valuable his tears became.
Lu Mo's lips curled up slightly. This man must have thought of something, he just started crying. He had seen it a long time ago, but he pretended to be watching the child in order to save face for Du Guoqiang.
But this also improved his impression of Du Guoqiang. A soft-hearted man may not be able to achieve great things, but he can make friends. Such a person will not stab you in the back. Moreover, he investigated the couple and found that they were indeed kind and good to their friends and employees. Strictly speaking, they were a bit simple-minded, but it was precisely because of their kindness that their business was thriving and growing bigger and bigger.
It is often said that a business cannot function without women, but this is actually a major misunderstanding about businessmen.
No matter what business you're in, honesty is absolutely essential. Shortchanging customers, selling counterfeit goods... these deceptive practices only yield petty profits. If you want to grow and thrive, you must treat people with sincerity, guarantee product quality, and never deceive customers. Otherwise, you won't last long.
Du Guoqiang composed himself and looked up. His expression was well-controlled, but his red eyes betrayed him. Lu Mo pretended not to notice and said, "Let's go over there. The child has run far away."
"Sigh... How come these three kids aren't tired? They've been running around all day and they don't even take a break. Ugh..."
Du Guoqiang, looking worried, followed after him, supporting his aching back. He looked enviously at Lu Mo ahead, whose back was still straight, walking with long strides without showing any signs of fatigue, a stark contrast to Du Guoqiang.
But he and Lu Mo are the same age, yet he looks like Lu Mo's father. How come there's such a big difference?
Du Guoqiang rubbed his lower back and jogged after them. If he didn't catch up soon, he would fall behind. There were so many people in this place, and he really wasn't sure he could get out without someone to guide him.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Hu's mother, Zhou Yueyun, looked somewhat melancholy. The three of them didn't go home; instead, they went shopping outside and, when they got tired, found a nearby restaurant to eat.
Lin Baiwei had just finished talking with her son and saw that he was extremely happy, so she was in a good mood as well. Noticing that Zhou Yueyun's expression was off, she asked, "What's wrong? Did your husband do something wrong?"
Zhou Yueyun shook her head with a smile, "How could he dare? He was just acting strangely. He suddenly said something weird to me and even seemed to cry. It was all so inexplicable."
"You cried?"
Ye Qingqing and Lin Baiwei were both surprised. Du Guoqiang was a strong man who was 1.8 meters tall and had a big body. He looked like a tough guy. Would such a man cry?
“He probably cried. He lied to me and said his nose was blocked. I’m not stupid. I can tell if he’s crying or not. I guess he’s just too tired from taking care of the kids. You don’t know, my husband looks like a tough guy, but he’s actually very fragile when it comes to tears. When Xiaohu was little, he was getting an IV and the nurse couldn’t find a vein after a few tries. I was fine, but my husband went out and cried.”
Zhou Yueyun recounted her husband's embarrassing incident, proving that appearances can be deceiving!
