The Tang Family’s Seven Os

In the morning, Tang Yi Yuan was lying in bed, sleeping sweetly.
Lu Cheng did not wake him up.
He ate breakfast by himself, sat on the sofa and picked up his phone with great interest.

The game ban was over, so he could swim in the canyon again!

When Shen Qing came, Lu Cheng had just finished a game, with 0 kills, 12 deaths and 2 assists.
He put down his phone in anger, took care of Shen Qing to sat down and went upstairs to wake up Tang Yi Yuan himself.

Shen Qing took Tang Yi Yuan’s temperature and asked about his physical condition, making sure he didn’t have any more fever before Lu Cheng completely put his mind at ease.

Shen Qing had just put the smart thermometer into his bag when Lu Cheng waved his phone at him, his voice steady: “Do you want to team up and play a game?”

Shen Qing stopped moving, he hadn’t played games in a long time because he had been busy with work recently.
He immediately got excited and took out his phone without hesitation, sitting side by side with Lu Cheng on the sofa to form a team.

Tang Yi Yuan gave Shen Qing a sympathetic look, hehe, you’ll cry.

Half an hour later, the sound of Shen Qing’s unbearable roar and wailing spread through the villa.

Tang Yi Yuan was refreshed and sipped the milk in his cup, what a wonderful morning.

After another half an hour, Shen Qing once again fled as if to leave, poisonous, poisonous here.

Lu Cheng pouted, looking at Tang Yi Yuan who had already finished his breakfast his eyes lit up and he grabbed his mobile phone, “Yi Yuan, I want to……”

No! You don’t want to!

The first thing I want to do is to go upstairs and watch my son do his homework, it’s the weekend and Lu Tang Tang doesn’t have to go to kindergarten.

The kindergarten homework was very simple, drawing pictures and simple arithmetic, and Lu Tang Tang finished it in no time.

Lu Cheng was still immersed in the game, pressing his phone so loudly that Tang Yi Yuan was worried that he would break the screen.

Tang Yi Yuan sat down hugging his son next to him, turned on the TV and watched children’s programmes with him.

There is an unwritten rule in the family that every weekend is parent-child time, and even if big dad and daddy don’t take him out and stay at home, they will still try to be there for him.

Lu Tang Tang is now at the age where he feels curious about everything, and when he sees a word in the programme that he doesn’t understand, he asks, “Big dad, what does it mean like old friends at first sight1?”

Lu Cheng chased after the tank to give him more blood while saying, “It means that it’s confirmed that he’s the right person.”

Tang Yi Yuan: “……”

It felt like something was wrong, but nothing could be said to refute it.

After a while, Lu Tang Tang asked again, “Big dad, what is self-defeating2?”

“It’s when the enemy’s high ground is pushed without me doing anything!” Lu Cheng looked at the high ground that had been pushed for the first time in the game and burst out into a wild laugh.

Tang Yi Yuan was caught off guard by his laughter and gave a jolt.

Lu Cheng’s hands were trembling with excitement, he had finally won!

It turned out to be such a wonderful feeling to win, he felt like he was floating in the sky.

Tang Yi Yuan announced: Today’s parent-child time is over!

In order to prevent Lu Cheng from teaching his son the wrong things, he did not hesitate to carry Lu Tang Tang out and lead him to the garden to water the flowers, explaining to him the real meaning of those two idioms.

Inside the house, Lu Cheng, with a smile on his lips, held his mobile phone and watched in awe for a long time.
Then, he couldn’t help but take a screenshot of this sacred moment to commemorate it, typing four big words in the name of the picture: God of Games.

He was looking in fascination when his mobile phone suddenly rang and he frowned in displeasure.
Who is it? Interrupting his joy of victory!

Lu Cheng’s thin lips were pursed, “Hello?”

The voice on the other end of the line was low and weak, “Lu Cheng……It’s me……”

Ruan Fei?

Lu Cheng first froze for a moment, then quickly glanced at Tang Yi Yuan outside the house, covered the microphone and asked in a small voice: “What’s the matter?”

Ex-boyfriend called, wife is outside the house, what if I am a bit panicked?

Ruan Fei’s voice sounded a kind of desperate anxiety, “Lu Cheng……Can you lend me some more money?”

“……Money?”

But I already have nothing, Lu Cheng looked at the sky with heartache.

Ruan Fei did not know the pain in Lu Cheng’s heart, still whispering, “The 50,000 you lent me before is still not enough, my friend’s illness needs more money, the doctor said at least 200,000.
Can you help me, I’m really not cheating you this time, I will definitely return the money to you……I’ll return all of it to you……you help me ba3……”

“This……” Lu Cheng held the phone, frowning with difficulty, he remembered the appearance of Tang Yi Yuan’s eyes red with anger.
Naturally he did not dare to transfer money to Ruan Fei again, if he made Tang Yi Yuan cry, in the end he had to coax, wu, the one with heartache is also him.

Ruan Fei heard his hesitation and his voice choked up, “Lu Cheng, please……I know I’m wrong, help me one more time……”

Lu Cheng was silent for a moment before speaking, “……Okay, you wait for me.”

He gritted his teeth and agreed, he was the one who had wronged Ruan Fei back then, Ruan Fei was so short of money now, he couldn’t not help.

“Okay, okay, I’ll wait for you…… thank you……,” Ruan Fei wiped his tears and answered repeatedly.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Cheng scratched his hair in worry, his bank card was tied to Tang Yi Yuan’s, if he wanted to withdraw money, he would definitely be discovered by Tang Yi Yuan, and then Tang Yi Yuan would definitely be angry.

How is this good?

He thought for half a day and secretly picked up his mobile phone to call his assistant.

When the call was answered, he hid himself in the corner with hope and asked in a low voice, “Xiao Zhuang, do you know if I have any private money?

Without thinking, the assistant replied, “President, you said that those who hide private money are not good men, you have to be a good man.”

“……”

Good man Lu Cheng hung up the phone silently.

When Tang Yi Yuan led Lu Tang Tang back, he saw Lu Cheng sitting on the sofa with a tight frown.

“What happened?”

Lu Cheng’s body trembled imperceptibly, but clenched his teeth and said nothing.

“Heh……” Tang Yi Yuan sneered and took Lu Tang Tang to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Wu wu wu, Omega laughs so scarily, Cheng Cheng is afraid.

Lu Cheng covered his face with both hands and sighed repeatedly, but did not dare to voice it.
After thinking for a while, he could only depressingly pick up his mobile phone and continue playing games as a way to vent his bitterness, ah! Let the game cleanse my sorrowful soul!

The moment the game interface opened, Lu Cheng immediately came to life, his worries instantly disappeared without a trace, the assassin opposite! The god of games wants to challenge you! Get ready to receive!

The next day, Lu Cheng sat in his office and finally came up with a solution, he could go and pit4 father!

Oh, no, it’s go and borrow money from father.

When Lu Cheng got off work, he arrived at the Lu family’s old mansion in a breeze, but it was empty, only a few old servants of the Lu family were left here to retire.
When they saw Lu Cheng, they enthusiastically pulled him in and talked nonstop.
Lu Cheng accompanied them for a while before walking out.

He called his assistant and only found out after asking him that since he had handed over the company to him, Master Lu had gone to the manor in the mountains to retire, where the mountains were beautiful and the air was fresh and good for the body.

Lu Cheng rushed to the manor again, looking around, a fine and gorgeous manor has been converted into a vegetable garden by Master Lu.
The yard is full of aubergine, pepper, grapes……all kinds of fruits and vegetables, the fountain has become a pond for watering vegetables, the road paved with porcelain white square tiles has become a muddy dirt road, even the parking place, parked are not luxury cars, but a handcart! The place where horses used to be kept has turned into a chicken pen, and there are a few large geese lazily hanging out on the roadside.

Lu Cheng couldn’t bear to look at it, father! If mum were alive, she would beat you to death! Wouldn’t it be nice to plant some delicate and colourful flowers!

While Lu Cheng’s heart was aching, a Shiba Inu rushed over.
Because he ran too fast, his ears were turned backwards by the wind, and he looked cute and thick, directly pouncing on Lu Cheng’s body, jumping like a child.

“Xiao……Xiao Huang5?” Lu Cheng froze for half a day before he recognised that this was his old man’s dog, named Xiao Huang.
In his memory, Xiao Huang was still a small puppy, how come it had grown so big?

The world is really changing fast, even Xiao Huang is not the same as he remembered!

Xiao Huang looked very close to him, wagging its tail excitedly and circling around him.
He silently digested the fact that ‘Xiao Huang’ had turned into ‘Da Huang6‘, stroked Xiao Huang’s head and squatted down to play with Xiao Huang for a while before continuing to walk inside the manor.

He was a little worried that four years had passed and Master Lu was getting old.
Thinking so, he couldn’t help but quicken his pace, a little sour in his heart.

Ah! My old father!

Old Master Lu was weeding the vegetable garden in the field, seeing his son who ran over excitedly, he straightened up and hummed lightly, “Finally remembered to come and see me?”

Tang Yi Yuan was afraid that Master Lu would be worried and had not told him about Lu Cheng’s injury, so he did not know that Lu Cheng had lost his memory.

He silently withdrew his hand that wanted to hug his old father and gave his father a smile, “I’ve been busy lately, I’m here now, aren’t I?”

Master Lu grunted coldly and ignored his son, picking up a hoe and continuing to weed, wielding it with great force.

Lu Cheng stood at the roadside looking at his father’s vigorous appearance, could not help but say: “Dad, you are so healthy, why not go back to the company to continue to preside over the overall situation.
You handed over the company to me so early, what is the point of tending to these fruits and vegetables every day, I am busy in the company…… ”

The old man’s ears twitched and he suddenly let out an ‘aiyo’, covering his waist and sighing, “I can’t, I’m old, I can’t do it anymore, housekeeper, where’s my walking stick?”

The housekeeper hurriedly found the walking stick from the corner, wiped the dust on it and respectfully gave it to Master Lu.

Master Lu took the walking stick tremblingly, bent his back and coughed lowly twice, the housekeeper quickly cooperated and patted his back.

Lu Cheng: “……”

Father, please be more sincere and less trick roads7!
