"Why does this look a bit familiar?"
Oh? So Dad finally remembered he has a son?
This is truly enough to make one weep with joy.
Su Jiuyue very considerately helped Gu Qiu press the answer button and conveniently turned on the speakerphone.
Yet the moment the call connected, Gu's father's voice burst out of the speaker—full of a youthful energy that completely defied his age:
"Hey, hey, hey! Calling son, calling son! Acknowledge if received! Acknowledge if received!"
Over the phone, his dear old dad sounded as though he were sitting on a train sleeper car, the noise filtering through the speaker a bit rough.
As expected, they weren't home. Dad really knew how to enjoy himself; ever since the Spring Festival this year had ended and he'd returned to school, this married couple had gone off traveling under the fine-sounding pretext that "now that we're old, we need to go see just how big the world is."
Noticing the peculiar expression on Su Jiuyue's face, Gu Qiu felt a bit embarrassed and replied with a helpless laugh:
"I'm here, I'm here. Your Majesty, have you finally remembered this subject? Do you want me to hurry back to the palace to inherit the throne?"
"There's no throne, but would you like to inherit my Ant Financial bill?"
"Let's pass on that. You actually have to pay that stuff back; inheriting it doesn't do much good."
The father and son's conversation spanned a rather wide range, and Su Jiuyue almost failed to keep up with their train of thought.
