Shen Yu waited for a day, but there was no news about Tang Li.
But in the evening, he received a call from Grandpa Shen.
With Uncle Zhang as his informant, Grandpa Shen naturally knew what Shen Yu had done during this period of time. But he didn't blame him. Instead, he frankly reasoned with him.
"I know you feel sorry for Chestnut, but there are so many eyes around us. The most taboo thing at this time is to be swayed by emotions when dealing with things."
Shen Yu leaned on the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling.
After Grandpa Shen finished speaking, he responded absent-mindedly.
Grandpa Shen knew that Shen Yu wouldn't listen. He sighed, but still continued to explain, "I didn't really do anything to Chestnut. I just let him stay for the sake of those people. Do you think I will hurt him?"
Shen Yu pursed his lips and said, "… Grandpa, this matter is already over."
He didn't want to discuss it anymore.
Just mentioning Tang Li's name made him feel upset.
Very upset.
That feeling was like a wound that he had tried so hard to hide had been openly pointed out by someone else, who was even laughing and rubbing salt on his wound.
Shen Yu took a deep breath. His breathing was a little trembling.
Grandpa Shen on the other side of the phone seemed to feel Shen Yu's mood. His explanation came to an abrupt end. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Xiao Yu, you are becoming more and more immature."
Such words again.
Yesterday afternoon, Uncle Zhang said the same thing to him.
They could express their disappointment and dissatisfaction so straightforwardly, but Shen Yu could only swallow all the grievances and frustrations into his stomach and pretend as if nothing had happened.
He knew that even if he said it, no one would believe him.
Shen Yu's face was pale. His hands on the sofa gradually clenched. Then he slowly exhaled as if he had compromised. "Sorry, Grandpa."
Sorry.
He was not the real Shen Yu.
He didn't have the ability and courage of the original owner. Seeing that the Shen family's company was going downhill, he could only watch anxiously. He was helpless and couldn't think of a way.
Old Master Shen was silent for a moment before saying, "Deal with the business of the branch company in Jincheng. Save on all the unnecessary expenses. In the future, try your best to expand the business. Also, take back the two branch companies in the southwest region. We've already lost money for three years. If we continue to support them, the losses will only worsen."
Shen Yu was stunned. "Are we giving up on the entire southwest market?"
"That's what I'm thinking at the moment." Old Master Shen said, "The company's performance is getting worse year by year. If we continue to develop like this, we'll become an empty shell sooner or later. Why don't we focus on nurturing the projects of the celebrities in the company? As for the new ideas that those people have come up with, we'll reject all of them for the time being. We need to take the safe route."
Shen Yu said obediently, "Okay."
Just when Shen Yu thought that Old Master Shen had ended the call, he suddenly heard the other party ask, "By the way, how are your two dessert shops doing?"
Shen Yu didn't expect Old Master Shen to change the topic so quickly. After a while, he answered, "Business is not bad. I'm planning to open another branch in a commercial district in the city center. Last month, Kang Lin and I went to see the shop together. Now, we're negotiating with the landlord. If everything goes well, we might open at the end of this year."
Speaking of the dessert shop, Shen Yu's gloominess was swept away and he chattered a lot.
It wasn't until Shen Yu slowly disappeared that he realized that Old Master Shen hadn't said a word. He had been listening to him quietly.
Shen Yu was a little embarrassed. "… I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I like to hear you talk about these things." Old Master Shen chuckled. "You're only so good when you talk about these things."
Shen Yu was speechless.
"Alright." Old Master Shen seemed to be joking. "When this side business of yours develops, we won't have to live on the streets in the future."
"Okay." Shen Yu closed his eyes. He felt very uncomfortable.
·
The next afternoon.
Shen Yu finally received a call from Tang Li.
Not only did Tang Li make the call, but he also rushed to the Shen family's house half an hour after hanging up the phone. Behind him were the servants of the Tang family and Tang Ming, whom Shen Yu had met once in Jincheng.
Tang Ming was still as fair and thin as he remembered. His skin was so clean that it was almost transparent under the sun. His facial features hadn't changed much from five years ago, but the temperament he exuded was much calmer.
A group of people was led into the living room by Aunt Chen.
The servants of the Tang family had brought their own luggage tools and cardboard boxes. After getting Aunt Chen's permission, they went straight to Tang Li's room on the second floor.
Shen Yu was wearing home clothes with a short shirt and shorts. He sat on the sofa without moving. The central air conditioner was on full blast, and his arms were covered with goosebumps from the cold.
However, Shen Yu didn't seem to feel the cold. Since Tang Li stepped into the living room, his eyes were fixed on Tang Li.
His gaze followed Tang Li's footsteps.
Then, he watched Tang Li walk to the switch on the wall of the central air conditioner. He frowned and reached out to press the button a few times.
Not long after, the temperature in the room rose a little.
Tang Li came in front of Shen Yu again. He half-squatted on the ground and held Shen Yu's cold hands. He squeezed them gently and said in a helpless tone, "I won't adjust the temperature so low next time. You're not in good health. You'll catch a cold if you catch a cold."
Shen Yu lowered his eyes and carefully observed Tang Li's appearance.
He found that Tang Li had become thinner and more tanned.
She still remembered that during the summer holidays, Tang Li often ran around with Shen Yu's assistant. He was so tanned that he looked like a piece of coal. In the evening, she could only see his clothes and rolling eyes.
&nbs
Thinking about this, Shen Yu's heart skipped a beat.
"You've become thinner." He touched Tang Li's face. "You look better when you're chubbier." It felt good to the touch.
Tang Li stared at Shen Yu with his dark eyes. His eyes flashed, and there was a surge of emotions in them. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed Shen Yu's hand that was caressing his face. He closed his eyes and gently rubbed Shen Yu's palm.
He still looked like a kitten.
"I'll gain weight back soon." Tang Li smiled. He actually had a small canine tooth. He said, "I'm prone to gaining weight."
Shen Yu chuckled. While he was talking, he suddenly saw a figure behind Tang Li.
It was Tang Ming.
"If you're prone to gaining weight, then how can we live?" Tang Ming complained in amusement. Then he looked at Shen Yu with a smile and greeted him, "Mr. Shen, long time no see."
Shen Yu stopped smiling and nodded. "Yes, long time no see."
Tang Ming looked at Shen Yu's legs and said with concern, "I heard from Tang Li that your legs can already walk freely."
Shen Yu smiled and said, "I can barely walk."
While they were chatting, the people upstairs had already packed Tang Li's small luggage and moved it all into the car they drove.
Tang Ming followed the servants back to the car, leaving Tang Li and Shen Yu alone.
The originally lively living room instantly quieted down.
Shen Yu thought that Tang Li would have a lot to say to him. However, after waiting for a long time, Tang Li did not say a word. He raised his head and met Tang Li's gaze. The two of them just stared at each other.
They both smelled a hint of awkwardness in the air.
In the end, it was Tang Li who broke the silence. He whispered, "I'm sorry."
Shen Yu shrugged and pretended to be relaxed with a smile. "It's okay."
After a pause, Shen Yu asked, "Are you going to transfer to another school?"
Tang Li shook his head and said, "Tang Ming and Tang Wenjing are both studying in that school. I should continue to study there until I graduate from high school."
"That's good." Shen Yu smiled. When he saw Tang Li squatting in front of him without any intention of getting up, he patted Tang Li on the shoulder. "They bullied you. Come back. The door of the Shen family will always be open for you."
After saying that, Shen Yu suddenly realized what had happened before. He calmly changed his words. "Anyway, the door here will always be open for you."
Tang Li held Shen Yu's hand.
He held it very tightly.
Then, he slowly let go.
"I'm leaving." Tang Li stood up. "They are still waiting outside."
Shen Yu said, "Go ahead."
·
Tang Li really left.
He moved out of the Shen family and took all his belongings with him.
Tang Li was not a person who liked to throw things away. Except for the bedroom where he lived before, there were almost no traces of him living in other places.
Later, that bedroom was carefully cleaned by Aunt Chen. When Shen Yu went to take a look again, he found that even the last traces left by Tang Li had been erased.
Many times, Shen Yu woke up in the middle of the night and felt that everything that had happened before was like a dream.
He and Tang Li knew each other. It was a dream.
He accompanied Tang Li as he grew up. It was a dream.
He watched Tang Li leave. It was a dream.
Everything was just a dream.
Maybe one day when he woke up, he would see the familiar small suite and receive calls from his friends. Every day, he would still be distressed by the girls who pursued him crazily.
Transmigrating through a book was a dream.
…
Time passed by little by little.
A month later, the news that Tang Li left the Shen family spread among the social circle and the media paparazzi. Even Yang Zhenni, who had not contacted Shen Yu for a long time, heard the news and specially called to comfort Shen Yu.
This time, Yang Zhenni directly called Shen Yu with her father's mobile phone.
Shen Yu looked at the name of Yang Zhenni's father on the phone screen and sighed deeply. Although he was very reluctant, he had to pick up the phone.
"Are you okay?" Yang Zhenni's soft voice was full of concern. "I heard about Tang Li and Shen Rong."
Hearing this, Shen Yu frowned.
He wondered why it was related to Shen Rong again.
Before Shen Yu said anything, Yang Zhenni complained again, "I know that child is not easy to teach. When he was young, his family had such a serious accident. His mind has long been distorted. No matter how much I teach him, he can't be completely changed. Fortunately, this time he only injured Shen Rong and did not do anything serious …"
Yang Zhenni sighed with relief as she spoke.
Unfortunately, he was interrupted by Shen Yu's ice-cold voice before he could even breathe properly.
"Who told you that?"
Yang Zhenni was stunned for a moment. "What?"
"Who told you these things?" Shen Yu said word by word.
Yang Zhenni was shocked by Shen Yu's sudden change of attitude. She was stunned for a long time and said weakly, "It, it was the people in the Shen family who told me."
