Chapter 43: Elbow, Follow Me Into the House
"Can you take out one million easily now?" Chu Mingtao was so shocked that the melon seeds in his hand fell.

Are you so rich now?
"It's not a casual thing. It will cost at least one or two months' royalties." Chu Ze said modestly.

Does your mother know that you are so Versailles?
Chu Mingtao doesn’t know whether your mother knows about it, but your father really wants to beat you up now.

But considering the kid's current worth, can he not afford to pay for the beating he's getting now?

"Ahem, son..." Chu Mingtao suddenly rubbed his hands and put on a kind smile.

"No, Dad, be normal." Chu Ze interrupted quickly.

"Why am I abnormal?" Chu Mingtao said angrily when his spell was interrupted.

"As soon as you shouted 'smash it', I knew it was definitely not a good thing." Chu Ze said very foresightedly.

"Hey, why do you think so badly of your dad?" Chu Mingtao said dissatisfiedly.

"What else do you want to say?"

"I just want to ask you, do you think our house is a little small?"

"Is there?" Chu Ze looked around and took a look at the house.

"There's none?"

"Dad, if you want to change houses, just tell me directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Ahem, well... I saw a villa area was recently built in the north of our city..." Comrade Lao Chu finally revealed his true intentions.

Tingting, I said stop for a moment.

"Dad, I made one million, not ten million..."

He is just a newbie who has just entered the realm of millionaire. Isn't it a bit too much to ask him to fight in a villa dungeon worth tens of millions right away?
Even the cheaper half-step one is unaffordable.

At least wait until he reaches the realm of one million before considering it.

"Oh, you are so promising now. You have made a million just after writing a book. If you continue writing for a few more months, you will make ten million. It will be quick..."

Chu Mingtao's tone sounded as if it was natural that it was just 10 million, and you could earn that by making a million a month in ten months.

Damn, you said it so lightly.

Do you know how many talented people have been trapped by this shackles since ancient times?

Fortunately, your son is a reborn person, otherwise it would not be enough to make up for it with your private money.

"Besides, a villa over there will cost less than 10 million. We bought the house these few months, and it will take almost half a year to renovate it and move in. By the time we can move in, Qingqing's college entrance examination will be almost over, and we can move into the new home after the exam. How great is that." Chu Mingtao continued to talk to himself.

Are you still planning this?

The money hasn't arrived yet.

I feel like I’m on a blind date and my child’s name has already been chosen before I even meet him/her.

"Do you want me to give you another car?" Chu Ze was speechless.

"That couldn't be better." Chu Mingtao's eyes lit up, wondering if there would be any unexpected gains?

"What couldn't be better?"

Suddenly, the voice of my mother Jiang Huiqin came from the door. While they were talking, the door opened and Jiang Huiqin just returned home.

"Son, why are you back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Jiang Huiqin was obviously a little surprised when she saw Chu Ze as soon as she entered the room.

"Give you a surprise." Chu Ze said with a smile.

"Tell me earlier next time. We haven't even bought the food yet." Jiang Huiqin said as she changed her shoes and walked over. "By the way, what were you talking about just now? It couldn't be better?"

"Mom, Dad just said he wanted to buy a car." Chu Ze complained immediately.

"When did you have money to buy a car? How come I didn't know?" Jiang Huiqin turned her eyes to Chu Mingtao and asked puzzledly.

"Dad said that he has been hiding a lot of private money recently." Before Chu Mingtao could open his mouth, Chu Ze spoke first.

Chu Mingtao: “?”

You are just a jerk, right?
"Old Chu, do you still have any private money?" Jiang Huiqin frowned.

"You believe everything this kid says. Is there a single word of truth in his words?" Chu Mingtao pointed at Chu Ze. His tone was excited when it came to the issue of his own slush fund.

He was anxious! "If I don't trust my son, how can I trust you?" Jiang Huiqin rolled her eyes at Chu Mingtao.

"Don't you know my character? I don't have any private money. Don't I give you my salary every month?"

"Really? Isn't that money behind the picture frame in the living room yours, Dad?" Chu Ze suddenly interrupted.

"How do you know... er, it's not..." Chu Mingtao blurted out, but before he finished speaking, he realized...

It's broken, I'm trapped.

This kid is a jerk!
"Frame?"

Jiang Huiqin looked at the picture frame on the sofa wall in the living room with confusion, then walked straight over.

Chu Mingtao looked ashen as he watched Jiang Huiqin take out hundreds of dollars bills from behind the picture frame.

"Elbow, come with me into the house and we'll talk."

"No, Huiqin, I can't stand this torture at my age."

……

The next day, Chu Ze packed his luggage and left quickly.

It's not that Chu Ze didn't want to stay at home for two more days. The main reason was that after his private money was gone, Comrade Chu had been hanging around in front of him all day, with a look of gritting his teeth and wanting to assassinate him, which made Chu Ze very panicked.

If it weren’t for my mother Jiang Huiqin, I probably wouldn’t have lived to see the next day.

So when Chu Ze saw Cheng Ran, the group leader, inviting him to Shanghai again last night, he agreed without hesitation.

Early in the morning, Chu Wanqing was called out for breakfast, but after breakfast, she didn't see Chu Ze. She asked curiously, "Huh? Dad, where's my brother?"

"Hmph, him? He left early, saying that he was going out to play with his classmates." Chu Mingtao looked unhappy when Chu Ze was mentioned.

"Hey, Dad, the private money you hid behind the picture frame for so many years was confiscated by Mom?" Chu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh with glee when he saw his father's expression.

"Yes, it's all your brother's fault. He ran away quickly this time. Wait till you see how I deal with him next time..." Chu Mingtao was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized something.

"Oh, that's not right. Qingqing, how do you know that I have been hiding my private savings behind the picture frame all these years?"

"What's so strange about that? I discovered it when I was in middle school. At that time, when my pocket money was not enough, I would take a few pictures from the back of the picture frame. My brother found out about it from me." Chu Wanqing smiled proudly.

"???"

I was wondering why I always felt like there were a few bills missing from time to time. Are you the culprit in my relationship?

You are really daddy’s sweet little cotton-padded jacket.

And you know it, dad wouldn't make a fuss about it if you took a few tickets occasionally, but why did you tell this to your brother?

This kid picked up the bowl to eat, put it down and cursed, and then he just gave it all to me.

"Qingqing, if you hadn't told your brother, your father wouldn't have fallen to the point where all his private money was confiscated by your mother. You should take the main responsibility for this matter." Chu Mingtao said this and suddenly put on a serious expression and looked at Chu Wanqing.

"Dad, what do you want to say?" Chu Wanqing glanced at his father.

"Ahem, well... return the money you secretly took from me before to me." Chu Mingtao coughed twice and said with a shameless face.

"Why?"

"If you don't pay it back, believe it or not, I will ask your mother to reduce your pocket money by half in the future?" Chu Mingtao pretended.

Chu Wanqing smiled contemptuously: "Dad, you'd better think about it carefully before you say this."

"what happened?"

"Are you sure you want to offend the daughter of a millionaire who will be in a year for this little money?"

"?!"

What the hell...

They are indeed siblings, they speak in the same way!
Chu Mingtao now suddenly realized a very serious problem -

Oh no, I seem to be the one at the bottom of the family.
