Shen Yu just wanted to make a joke.
But after hearing his words, Tang Li's face, which had just returned to normal, turned red again. Even the tips of his ears were red.
He stood there motionlessly for a full minute, not knowing what to do.
"No, no." Tang Li stammered. His evasive eyes were full of annoyance. He scratched his hair irritably. "I haven't thought about this."
Shen Yu saw that Tang Li's face was so red that it was about to bleed. He chuckled, waved at him, and said, "I'm just teasing you."
Tang Li: "…"
He breathed a sigh of relief and finally had the courage to face Shen Yu. His dark eyes were full of helplessness and something else, but he hid it very well.
Shen Yu lowered his head, covered his face with his fist, and snickered.
After snickering for a long time, Shen Yu slowly stopped smiling and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He sighed and said, "You've grown up. It's time for you to understand something."
He just didn't know if he would have a chance to see him get married and have children in the future.
The hope was probably slim …
After all, this little villain would never turn back when it came to love.
"Go to sleep." Shen Yu smiled at Tang Li. "Good night. See you tomorrow."
The uneasiness on Tang Li's face gradually faded, and there was no more expression on his face. He looked at Shen Yu without blinking. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say a word.
"Good night."
After that, Tang Li left and closed the door behind him.
There was a soft click.
The room was completely quiet.
Shen Yu sat on the sofa for a while before he got up and walked to the bed.
·
The next day.
Shen Yu was awakened by a gentle knock on the door. The person outside the door shouted loudly, "Mr. Shen, are you awake?"
It was Zhou Che's voice.
Shen Yu got out of bed, got dressed, and staggered to open the door.
When he opened the door, the first thing he saw was Zhou Che's extremely bright smile.
"Good morning, Mr. Shen." Zhou Che raised his hands and showed Shen Yu the lunchbox in his hands. "Tang Li said that you are not used to the breakfast in the hotel, so I bought some from a nearby restaurant. I don't know if it is to your liking."
Shen Yu was flattered. He quickly stepped aside and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
Zhou Che grinned from ear to ear. "It's no trouble at all."
Shen Yu stuck his head out and looked around the door. He could not help but feel a little disappointed when he did not see Tang Li.
He slowly closed the door and turned around to see that Zhou Che had already placed the food boxes and disposable bowls and chopsticks neatly on the dining table.
"Do you want to try it?" Zhou Che said with interest. "I often patronize that restaurant. It's an old shop. Business is booming."
Shen Yu pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay."
After sitting down, he asked Zhou Che, "By the way, is Chestnut up yet?"
Zhou Che scratched his head and said, "Tang Li called me a long time ago. Maybe he is busy. He should come to you later."
Although he said that, Tang Li did not show up until Zhou Che watched Shen Yu finish breakfast.
Zhou Che, who had successfully completed his task, quickly cleaned up the leftovers on the dining table. After greeting Shen Yu with a smile, he ran away.
Less than two minutes later, there was a knock on the door again.
Shen Yu thought it was Tang Li, so he hurried to open the door. On the way, he was so unsteady that he almost bumped into the shoe cabinet. Fortunately, he immediately supported himself against the wall and steadied himself.
After he tidied himself up and opened the door, he saw a waitress in a hotel uniform. She held the washed and dried clothes in her hands and handed them to Shen Yu with a smile.
"Mr. Shen, these are the clothes that Mr. Tang asked us to wash last night."
Shen Yu was stunned for a long time before he took the clothes.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After closing the door, Shen Yu walked to the bed and threw the clothes on the bed. At this moment, he felt an inexplicable anger rushing to the top of his head. No matter how hard he tried, he could not suppress it.
He thought of everything that had happened yesterday, and then he thought of everything that had happened just now.
One thing after another …
Without exception, they were not laughing at his stupidity.
He also said that Tang Li was a fool. Perhaps in the eyes of Tang Li and others, he was the real fool.
Just to meet with Tang Li, he did not hesitate to make himself so embarrassed.
Shen Yu took out his phone from under the quilt. The unlocked screen was full of missed calls, unread text messages, and unread WeChat messages. He directly entered WeChat and saw a small number "1" in front of the only dialog box pinned at the top.
It was a message from Tang Li —
[Sorry, I have to go now. I'll contact you later.]
It was concise and comprehensive.
So much so that Shen Yu did not even understand the meaning of this sentence.
What did "have to go now" mean?
And when would it be later?
Shen Yu stared at the phone for a long time in a daze. In the end, he forced himself to suppress the idea of calling Tang Li and only replied with one word, "Okay."
Then …
He sat on the edge of the bed and waited.
He waited until twelve o 'clock at noon, but there was still no message from Tang Li.
The word "Okay" he sent was quietly lying at the bottom of the chat box. It was so short that it was a little dazzling.
Shen Yu sighed, exited WeChat, and dialed Kang Lin's number.
·
When Shen Yu was sent back to the Shen family by Kang Lin, the whole house was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen seemed to have been waiting in the living room for the whole night. They were still wearing the clothes from last night. Their faces were full of fatigue, and there was a faint layer of dark circles under their eyes.
Seeing that Shen Yu was back, Aunt Chen was so excited that her eyes turned red. She hurried over to greet him.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Shen Yu shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
After that, his eyes skipped Aunt Chen in front of him and cast on Uncle Zhang, who was approaching silently.
"Uncle Zhang, let's talk in the study."
Uncle Zhang seemed to have guessed that Shen Yu would say this, so he didn't look surprised at all. He nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
Aunt Chen wanted to take Shen Yu's crutches, but Shen Yu refused. He walked slowly to the elevator, and Uncle Zhang followed behind him silently.
When they arrived at the study, Shen Yu went straight to the desk and sat down.
Uncle Zhang came to the desk and could only stand straight. Shen Yu didn't ask him to sit down, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Uncle Zhang." Shen Yu said, "My parents are gone, so you are half a person to me. I never thought that you would be the person my grandfather arranged to supervise me. I thought you wouldn't do this."
Uncle Zhang lowered his head slightly and replied with a sigh, "I'm sorry."
"But I don't want to hear you say those three words." Shen Yu leaned back in the chair, and his cold eyes moved from Uncle Zhang to the gorgeous ceiling carved with complicated patterns. He said, "You can go. Since you are so obedient to my grandfather, then go and take care of him."
In the end, he laughed at himself and said, "It's good that you don't have to worry about me."
Uncle Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Shen Yu.
"Sir." Uncle Zhang opened his mouth and said, "I …"
Shen Yu made a gesture and directly interrupted Uncle Zhang's unfinished words, "Sorry, I don't want to listen to your explanation."
Uncle Zhang was silent for a long time. Finally, he said bitterly, "Okay."
"You can leave all the things at home to Aunt Chen, and leave the affairs of the two dessert shops to Kang Lin. After that, you can pack your luggage and move out." Shen Yu held his chin and thought for a while. Then he said, "I'll give you one week. Is that enough?"
Uncle Zhang's throat rolled, "… Yes."
Shen Yu nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Uncle Zhang turned and walked to the door of the study. He opened the door and walked out slowly. Just as he was about to close the door, he couldn't help but say, "Sir, with all due respect …"
This time, Uncle Zhang didn't give Shen Yu a chance to interrupt him. He continued without hesitation, "I don't think there is anything wrong with my approach, and I don't think there is anything wrong with Mr. Shen's approach. Maybe you don't feel it yourself. Since the Shen family took in Tang Li, you have also undergone earth-shaking changes."
These words made Shen Yu pause for a moment. He raised his eyebrows at Uncle Zhang and motioned him to go on with his eyes.
Uncle Zhang swallowed his saliva subconsciously and said slowly, "In the past, you were decisive and never sloppy. You would not let your emotions get the better of you at work. Work was everything to you. Although Old Mr. Shen often blamed you for these things, you were really working hard for the Shen family at that time."
Shen Yu, "…"
He seemed to have guessed what Uncle Zhang was going to say next.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished thinking, he heard Uncle Zhang say, "However, now you are wholeheartedly devoted to educating Tang Li and the operation of the two dessert shops. Most of the things in the company are handled by Kang Lin. Because of Tang Li's minor illness, you have been absent from important meetings several times. Some people even think that Kang Lin is you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Yu was speechless. He really couldn't find any words to refute Uncle Zhang.
"Sir." Uncle Zhang looked at Shen Yu intently with tears in his eyes and said sincerely, "Maybe Mr. Shen shouldn't have suggested that you take in Tang Li. Otherwise, you wouldn't have fallen so low."
Shen Yu was at a loss for words, "I …"
Uncle Zhang said, "You have been thinking about Tang Li all the time these days, but have you ever thought about the Shen family?"
Shen Yu was completely speechless.
The quiet air spread in the study. It was so quiet that they could hear the breathing of the two people.
Shen Yu was stiff and didn't move.
In fact, he had a lot to say to Uncle Zhang.
For example, the performance of the Shen family's company had begun to decline. Maybe soon, it would be bankrupt as described in the original article. At that time, the whole Shen family would become poor.
For example, he was just a pastry chef. The only thing he knew was how to make pastry and run dessert shops. He really didn't have the ability to manage such a large company.
Even Shen Yu didn't know how he supported the Shen family until now.
It was a pity that so many words didn't come out of Shen Yu's mouth.
When Shen Yu came back to his senses, Uncle Zhang had already left the study.
