"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted my child to visit your home, but unexpectedly, he said your family is too wealthy to come in."
See? That's the real purpose of making that call. It's really effective. The Jing family is quite interesting.
The junior staff member lacks the ability to handle things, so they want the senior staff to pull strings. Since the phone call has already been made, we should at least give them some face. In other words, this matter cannot be left unresolved.
As for how to handle this matter, the Jing family said not to even think about getting involved, because it wouldn't make a difference even if they did.
"Hey, I was wondering what was going on. Oh, so this is what it is?"
No problem, my old man is at home now, he can come over whenever he wants.
"It just so happens that he's your brother's grandson. I've heard he's quite handsome, but I wonder if he'll look like Daredevil compared to my Shen family's grandsons?"
"How could we possibly compare to your grandson? Everyone knows that every man in your Shen family is outstanding!"
"That's right, I'm not bragging, my grandsons are really good."
"That's true, but then again, why was it so difficult to contact your family before? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were doing it on purpose!"
"How could that be? Don't you know me? I like to make a fuss, but I can't stop people from coming to my house to ask for favors, using old connections as leverage?"
"That's true, but these things are unavoidable! We can't just come to their house and not see them!"
If our old buddies found out, they'd kill us.
"That's true, but if it were anything else, it would be fine, but it's something that makes me go against my principles. To be honest, I can do anything, but not this."
"That's true. Nowadays, people come to your door asking for favors, and the reasons are all over the place. It's annoying to hear them all."
"Isn't that right? But then again, if it were back in my day, it would be one thing if a brother's child came out of the trench with me."
Even if you can't help much when you come to my house, I'll warmly welcome you to sit down and have a meal together.
But the image actually led me to a scammer. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but it's not like they're just coming to my house to freeload.
But the request was also fulfilled. You know, these days, no matter what you want to do, you have to rely on connections.
Even if it's not needed, we still have to use our old faces.
What do you mean by being scammed? I've never heard of that before. Or is it just that my father was talking nonsense with the old man from the Jing family?
"That's true. So how did you find out you'd been scammed? With your abilities, how could you be so sure you'd been cheated?"
"Who can argue with that? But we have to admit that even a horse can stumble sometimes."
"That makes sense, so what happened next?"
"Speaking of this, I'm really angry."
"No, it's not a big deal. Tell me properly, let me see how you, Shen Bowen, got scammed."
"I knew it, you old rascal, you'd make a scene even if you wanted to see it."
"Since you've brought this up, I definitely have to ask. Otherwise, I'd feel bad for starting this whole thing, wouldn't I?"
"Yes, then I'll explain it to you in detail."
"That's right, go ahead and say it! Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, so let's just sit here and chat."
That's exactly what I meant.
I arrived at the door and overheard my father talking nonsense to the old man of the Jing family on the phone. I don't know if the other party believes it or not.
If I didn't know that such a thing had never happened in my family, I might have been fooled by the old man.
However, based on the conversation between the old man and the old man of the Jing family, it can be confirmed that the Jing family is still mainly testing the waters.
As for having the younger generation of the Jing family visit, it was merely a trial balloon, or a way to get in touch.
Since Grandpa Jing wants to have some fun, then let's play along. I refuse to believe we can't outsmart this old fox.
"Brother! You've been through so much, haven't you? If this were the child of one of our brothers from back then, it would be one thing, but we still helped out in the end."
It took a long time before I accidentally discovered that there was no such person in the other family at all.
This person is just a nephew or niece who didn't pass away. Even if you were just telling the truth, I wouldn't be upset, but how could there be such a person?
From then on, fearing being deceived, I stopped seeing people who came to my door.
I especially wouldn't dare meet someone who doesn't give me prior notice.
I don't know what's wrong with society these days. There are so many scammers, and they especially prey on older people like us.
"That's true, scammers these days are getting more and more sophisticated."
"Indeed. But what I didn't expect was that this misunderstanding would happen. I'm really sorry, brother."
"Look at what you're saying. If I had just called you from the beginning, none of this would have happened."
"That's true. Since you've already said so, then let your grandson come over to our house another day."
But then again, you're something else. Your child has come to Beijing, and you didn't even call ahead to let us know. It's not like you don't know our home phone number.
"Why are you making things so difficult for the child? Anyone who doesn't know better would think I, Shen Bowen, am disrespecting you."
"That won't do. It's all your fault, brother."
"But that makes sense. I happened to be away from home at that time, and the servants at home didn't know about our relationship."
But as long as the phone rings, even if the children don't know, they can call and ask.
"Look at the mess we've made now. If the younger generation finds out, they'll laugh at us two old folks."
"Dare to laugh at me? I'll interrupt his push."
"What era are we living in? How can people still break a child's legs so easily?"
You can't do that, otherwise the child won't be close to you.
"I don't care. But then again, I didn't make that call back then because I felt bad about it."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Just say what's on your mind. We've been comrades-in-arms for so many years, why make a scene like this?"
"Yes, I should have called earlier."
"Right! It wouldn't have caused so much trouble."
“That’s right. In that case, please tell your family, especially your third son’s wife, that I won’t talk to her alone.”
"Okay, no problem, it's no big deal. I'll tell her later."
However, I must warn you beforehand, my friend.
"you say?"
“I told her it was fine, but I never cared about the specifics of how to do it.”
As you know, these days, whoever earns more money has more say in the family.
I don't need to say much about this; I'm sure you already know.
"I know you understand, brother!"
