DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 82 - Something Had Happened to Su Ming's Family
The following morning, Su Ming woke up early.
At the construction site, the workers were still diligently toiling away.
The cacti in the field had already sprouted, but they needed a couple more days to fully mature, so Su Ming wasn't in a rush. contemporary romance
Just as Su Ming contemplated how to pass the time, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance.
Su Ming took a closer look and recognized President Chen.
Was he passing by again today?
“Mr. Su!”
Upon spotting Su Ming, President Chen briskly approached. “I apologize, Mr. Su, for intruding on your time once more.”
“President Chen, have you had your meal?”
Su Ming inquired.
“Yes.”
President Chen responded with a smile. “Mr. Su, please don't be upset. Since our last workout together, I've noticed significant improvements in my physical condition. On days when I'm not working, I feel sore all over. I realized that it's been a few days since I last came here, and the weeds must have grown taller. That's why I came to lend a hand with weeding.”
So, President Chen's visit was intentional this time.
He had come to assist with the weeding.
Unfortunately, these young plants had just emerged from the ground, and President Chen was about to rid them.
“Mr. Su, please don't decline my offer. It's a rare opportunity for me to connect with the soil, savor the earth's aroma, and reminisce about my childhood days working in the fields with my parents…”
As President Chen spoke, he became slightly emotional, wiping away a couple of tears that welled up in his eyes.
His acting skills were impressive!
Su Ming couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
This man must be a movie star!
“Alright, then I'll gladly accept your help.”
Since President Chen had poured his heart out, Su Ming couldn't refuse.
President Chen's sincerity was evident in his tone, gaze, and actions.
Upon hearing this, President Chen beamed with joy. He removed his leather shoes, rolled up his sleeves, fetched a bucket of water, and proceeded to water, fertilize, and weed with enthusiasm.
Su Ming stood by, somewhat stunned. President Chen was remarkably skilled at farming.
He felt pleased that President Chen was tending to the watering and fertilizing.
Since he couldn't be of assistance, Su Ming sighed and moved to the side.
The main structure of the villa had been erected, and the windows were already in place.
Interior decoration work was underway.
“Mr. Su, what are your preferences for the interior design?”
The project manager approached Su Ming with haste.
“I don't have any specific requests; a standard design will suffice. However, the villa must prioritize safety.”
Su Ming pondered briefly before responding.
Even with the System, he wasn't immune to harm.
If something were to happen to him, it would be truly unfortunate.
After all, he still aimed to lead a happy life with the assistance of the System.
“Mr. Su, you can count on us to prioritize safety,” the project manager assured, patting his chest in affirmation.
“How's the progress of the underground garage?”
Su Ming inquired.
“Mr. Su, we initiated the excavation last night.”
The person in charge appeared a bit fatigued, but his enthusiasm remained high.
They employed advanced mining techniques, intending to install support frames once they dug a bit further to reinforce the cave.
The next step involved laying the foundation.
The construction progress was remarkably swift.
“Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we're confident that we can complete it within three days!”
The person in charge exclaimed with assurance.
Su Ming expressed his satisfaction upon hearing this.
Such rapid construction speed was truly impressive.
Su Ming conducted an inspection of the construction site and then went out for breakfast before returning.
Just as Su Ming re-entered the courtyard, his phone unexpectedly rang.
Retrieving his phone, he noticed it was a call from his mother.
Su Ming blinked, recalling that a few days ago, he had transferred 20,000 yuan to his parents, explaining that he had earned it through his work.
It wasn't that Su Ming was unwilling to provide more financial support to his parents, but he was concerned they might not readily accept it.
He preferred they gradually adapt to it.
While Su Ming's mother missed him dearly most of the time, she also understood that he was busy with work, so she seldom contacted him.
Why was she calling today of all days?
Su Ming didn't hesitate and answered the call.
“Son, how's work going lately? Don't overexert yourself. Your health is the most important thing.”
As soon as the call connected, Lee Sumei's voice sounded from the other end of the line.
However, upon closer listening, her voice carried an undertone of weariness.
“It's alright, Mom. I'm not usually swamped with work, and I rarely have to work overtime. Mom, I don't need more money. You both don't have to work as hard as before. You should take more rest and enjoy your meals. Don't hold back.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“I understand.”
Lee Sumei responded, “Hurry up and find a nice girl to marry so we can be at ease. I'll hang up now. I won't disrupt your work, okay?”
Something felt off to Su Ming upon hearing this.
Previously, before his mother called, she would always send a text message in advance to inquire if he was available.
She had never called him during work hours. He could sense that she was hiding something.
“Mom, what's going on? Did something happen?”
Su Ming furrowed his brow slightly, growing tense.
He didn't require the System, the land, or the money in his account. But he couldn't bear any harm coming to his parents.
“Don't overthink it. Nothing bad has occurred. I just wanted to hear your voice.”
Lee Sumei sensed Su Ming's anxiety and reassured him hastily.
“Mom, remember that I'm your son. Tell me, what's going on at home? What's happened?”
Su Ming's brow furrowed deeper, his tone growing urgent. He was certain that something had transpired back home, given his mother's words.
Lee Sumei remained silent for a few seconds on the other end of the line. Finally, she spoke with a quavering voice, “Something has happened to your father…”
“What? Mom, don't worry. What's wrong? What's happened to Dad?”
Su Ming's frown deepened, and he asked urgently.
President Chen had initially been tending to the plants, but upon hearing this, he was taken aback. What was wrong? Had something occurred in Mr. Su's family?
If that were the case, he needed to assist Mr. Su!
