My Life with Narration-Chapter 323 - 320: Are You Always This Polite to Your Fans?

Chapter 323: Chapter 320: Are You Always This Polite to Your Fans?

"Wow, this boy really knows how to enjoy life. I, his father, haven’t lived in such a nice house yet. It’s really something!" Du Qiang commented while looking around and touching things in the living room, feeling quite satisfied.

Although he is a seasoned university teacher with a decent income, living in a house like this would still be challenging for him.

Zhou Hui, on the other hand, sat on the sofa with an air of superiority and said disdainfully, "Can you calm down? Look at you, acting like someone who’s never seen the world. Our son has made something of himself now. Once he makes big money in the future, he’ll definitely get me a nice house too.

But even if he wants to, I couldn’t be bothered moving. We’re used to our house, and I definitely wouldn’t be comfortable suddenly living somewhere else."

Even though Su Qing is earning quite a bit now, a million or so is doable for him, but if he wants to buy a house like this in Jiang City, with this kind of location and decor, it’s still not enough. Given his earning speed, though, it’s not very difficult.

Though they don’t have that kind of money yet, it doesn’t stop Zhou Hui from dreaming about a better life.

As expected, upon hearing this, Du Qiang sat back down on the sofa awkwardly and asked, "What’s happening here? Why did you suddenly call me over? And what’s this about becoming a grandma?"

Ever since Su Qing left, Zhou Hui had grown more and more excited, so she called over her husband to discuss some plans.

Although she held the power at home, if something really big came up, they still relied on Du Qiang. To put it simply, Zhou Hui was a stay-at-home mom who didn’t handle much—just taking care of the kids and doing some household chores was her limit.

Her cooking hadn’t improved over the years, which was obvious from this. It was mainly because Du Qiang spoiled her. After so many years, he had long indulged his wife, which might be why she has become increasingly rebellious, right?

"Honey, guess what I saw when I first got here this morning," Zhou Hui asked mysteriously.

Du Qiang shook his head. It’s not that he couldn’t guess at all, it’s just that he must not guess it. Otherwise, the one who’d be uncomfortable would be him.

He had to build up his wife’s expectations, then act surprised and applaud, to maintain her fragile and sensitive self-esteem. This is what a man should do, and of course, it was also learned from decades of accumulated experience.

As expected, seeing his expression, Zhou Hui was extremely pleased and said, "I saw a little girl over five years old calling our son ’Dad!’"

Du Qiang: "Wow, six... Hmm? Wait, say that again, calling him what?"

"Dad!"

If Shen Yi had said this to Su Qing, he would certainly have agreed. But as the saying goes, "Missing a bargain is missing a chance," he couldn’t say the same. Or rather, something only the young would accept.

"Whoa... Don’t scare me. Over five years old, are you sure?" Hearing this, Du Qiang sprang up from the sofa, looking shocked.

Could his wife mean becoming a grandma like this? No, at over five, approaching six, their son would have been in high school back then, right?

He even wondered if Zhou Hui had seen a young girl getting cozy with their son in his room, but he never expected this result.

At this point, Du Qiang was already struggling to restrain the urge to whip out a Seven Wolves cigarette. Fortunately, their disobedient son wasn’t home, leaving him feeling somewhat lost and aimless.

"Do you think I’d lie to you? But she’s the landlord’s daughter. Oh, you should’ve seen how pretty our son’s landlord is. It’s a pity she’s been married. But her little girl is truly adorable. She called me ’Grandma’!" Zhou Hui got excited when talking about the little girl.

It’s not that she hadn’t been called grandma before. Given her age and seniority, she had. But this was the only one calling her son ’dad’ and her ’grandma.’ Although not biological, it fulfilled her wish to be a grandma. She couldn’t be happier.

Su Hongye: ...

"The landlord’s... so with our son..."

"Of course, it has nothing to do with him. The little girl just likes our son, and it seems they get along well, so she calls him Su Dad. What are you thinking? No matter how nice others are, they’re just that—nice. When it comes to raising one, it still has to be our own!"

Zhou Hui rolled her eyes at her husband as she explained.

Hearing this, Du Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it has nothing to do with him, nothing to worry about. He was really afraid that his son might give him a huge surprise he couldn’t handle.

If it were his own, it’d be easier; at most, they’d explain to relatives. But if not, it would be all over. Did their son raise someone else’s child? Du Qiang felt he couldn’t afford that kind of embarrassment.

"Oh, I thought it was something else. Although the landlord already has kids, looking at this house, her family probably isn’t short on money. Anyway, we can’t afford this house for now." Du Qiang remarked nonchalantly.

Though lately, he’d made some money in stocks, he wasn’t daring enough to invest heavily, capping at ten thousand at most, preferring to make small gains.

But he had to admit, since listening to his son’s advice, each stock purchase had been profitable to different extents.

Every time he finished a short-term trade, he’d beat his chest and secretly regret not listening to his son earlier. Just diving in could’ve earned him ten or twenty thousand at least.

Through these years, with a decent salary and some side income, like lecturing elsewhere, they could muster a lot. Going all in would’ve surely paid off, but he didn’t dare.

Anyway, every time it ends, he regrets it, but when Su Qing tells him which stock will rise next time, he hesitates and eventually takes out a few thousand to make some small profits.

Now, even he doesn’t know how much money his son has, but if he went all-in every time, he’s sure his son has a fortune that’s even more than he imagined.

"Tch, what’s this? My son will definitely be able to buy it in the future, and pay in full. Even if he can’t, his boss’s girlfriend doesn’t mind this house. His dad, let me tell you, when I came this morning, I saw a really pretty girl in pajamas there, and our son was shirtless. He said she’s the boss next door, the one our daughter often calls sister-in-law. Do you think... Am I going to be a grandma?" Zhou Hui said excitedly.

Hearing this, even old Su was a bit surprised: "Are you sure it’s his boss?"

"Of course, the girl admitted it herself. She’s really stunning, not at all worse than his landlord, even better since she hasn’t been married, no kids. The baby would definitely be in our family!" Zhou Hui quickly explained.

Hearing this, old Su couldn’t help but widen his eyes. He wondered why his son’s boss favored him so much, even helping him with stocks. Turns out they’re a couple. Living off a woman, huh!

But this was mere impotent rage.

"Honey, aren’t you thinking too far ahead? They aren’t even engaged!"

"Not even engaged? They’re already living together! Just wait, it won’t be long before she’s pregnant!"

"No, today’s young people aren’t like we were back then. They use protection. Without marriage, where’s the baby coming from?"

That’s why old Su didn’t waste his time as a university teacher. He often dealt with young people and was never out of touch. He knew better than anyone what young people are like these days.

Of all his students, many are dating but in so many years, only a few have had kids.

Hearing this, Zhou Hui was a bit flustered: "What should we do? No, we have to call our son back and have a proper talk!"

With that, she was about to grab her phone, but old Su quickly stopped her: "Take a break, would you? What kind of parent rushes their child into having a baby like this? Besides, we should respect the girl’s opinion in this matter. It’s her body. Can you decide? Let the kids handle it themselves!"

"This won’t do, that won’t do, then you say, what do we do!" Zhou Hui huffed, wondering if the hope she finally saw would vanish.

"As parents, we can only hint at it!"

"How to hint?"

"Doesn’t he make short videos? Go comment and hint at it! Anyway, no one knows you, and it can put some pressure on him!"

"That’s a good idea. Okay, let’s do it. By the way, I heard from our son that the girl asks for a dowry of 200,000 and a Land Rover. "

Old Su: ???

They’re already discussing the dowry? Was he mistaken earlier? Is his son really getting married, and they’re about to become grandparents?

"What’s with that look? I’m talking to you. Do you think we can handle such demands?" Zhou Hui asked.

"Uh... I can understand the 200,000 dowry, but that Land Rover is no small thing. They can cost anywhere from 200,000 to several hundreds of thousands. Are you sure it’s the girl asking and not your son? After all, she’s a boss. Does she really need your Land Rover?"

"What? So expensive? Isn’t it just a car? Let me check again!"

Old Su: ...

At the same time, a police car rushed toward the suburbs, with four people inside. Lin Chengcai driving, and Li Zijun in the passenger seat.

Du Qiang and Su Qing sat at the back. At this moment, Su Qing was flipping through his comment section. In a short while, a video he posted last week had gained over a hundred new comments.

This rate was nothing when the video was first posted, but now, over a week later, suddenly gaining over a hundred comments caught his attention. It was from someone named ’Su Family Elder’.

"All you do is film dogs. What’s so good about dogs? Have a kid already!"

It was quite direct and even rude, not a hint at all, but straight up telling.

To this, Su Qing felt a bit embarrassed and replied, "Mom is right!"

Seeing this, Du Qiang couldn’t help but ask, "Are you always so courteous to your fans?"

Su Qing: ...

...
