In the later stage, after Shen Yu's "martial suppression," the work of separating the family assets went very smoothly.
However, because Shen Yu suddenly made such a big decision, this matter caused a lot of discussion outside the circle and among the media for a long time. It was not until half a year later that it gradually subsided.
As the person involved, Shen Yu was not affected in the slightest.
Without the heavy shackles on his shoulders, he had more time and energy to do his own things, such as painting and running the dessert shop.
Since Uncle Zhang left, Shen Yu asked Kang Lin to take care of two old shops and a newly opened shop with him. Unfortunately, there were not enough people. In the end, he had the will but the ability was not enough.
Now that he was a little free, he was going to take the time to recruit a few more managers.
Shen Yu's life was very fulfilling, but he rarely contacted Tang Li.
Although Tang Li would call him or send him WeChat messages when he was free, it was obvious that Tang Li was rarely free. There were even a few times when he squeezed out time to go to bed at midnight to video call him on WeChat.
Then, in the middle of the conversation, Tang Li fell asleep.
Shen Yu leaned against the head of the bed. The light in his room was dim, and there was only a bedside lamp. In the video call, Tang Li was sitting on the sofa in sleepy clothes. The bedroom was brightly lit. Tang Li had just taken a shower and had not had time to dry his hair.
Shen Yu carefully looked at the sleeping face of the other party.
He found that Tang Li seemed to be thinner than the last time they met. His skin was so white that it was almost sickly. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of tiredness. He looked extraordinarily tired.
Even if he was asleep, Tang Li's eyebrows were always slightly knitted, as if he had been worried about some problems that could not be solved.
This made Shen Yu feel distressed.
He wanted to call Tang Li to get up and dry his hair before going to sleep. After hesitating for a long time, he still could not make up his mind. In the end, he just looked at Tang Li like this and gradually felt sleepy.
The next day.
Shen Yu's first reaction after waking up was to check his phone.
He saw that the battery of his phone was almost depleted, but it was not turned off yet. However, his WeChat video call with Tang Li was hung up at five o 'clock in the morning.
There was also a voice message sent by Tang Li at the bottom.
"Sorry, I fell asleep last night. I'll look for you after I'm done with my work for the next two days."
Shen Yu pondered for a moment and remembered that the last time they met was a month ago. At that time, Tang Li finally had some free time, so he asked Shen Yu out for dinner and a movie.
In the end, as soon as the two of them stepped into the cinema, they were recognized by three or four passersby. They took out their phones and madly took pictures of them.
If it had been in the past, Shen Yu, who had a magnanimous heart, would not have had any reaction. But that day, he, who had a guilty conscience, was really scared. Without saying anything, he immediately pulled Tang Li and left the cinema.
Later, they found a private cinema and lay in the private room to chat. Tang Li also talked about a lot of things in school and his plans for after the college entrance examination. At that time, there was only more than a month left before the college entrance examination.
Shen Yu was worried that it would affect Tang Li's studies, so he did not dare to go out with Tang Li again.
But now, there were only a few days left before the college entrance examination, and Tang Li was actually busy with other things.
After that, the more Shen Yu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
So he dialed Kang Lin's phone.
Kang Lin seemed to have guessed the reason why Shen Yu called him, so he took the initiative to report, "Mr. Shen, I've investigated almost everything. That company is not big. It has just been established in the past two years. It can be regarded as a dark horse in the industry. There are a total of three bosses in the company, each holding different shares. Zhou Che, who you met that day, is the big boss. The other two are Tan Dong and Lin Pingran. In fact, Tang Li is not even a nominal employee in that company. He should not be very busy with the company's affairs recently."
As he spoke, Kang Lin suddenly thought of something and suddenly changed the topic, "By the way, that company was negotiating with the Tang family last year. It seems that they were preparing to cooperate on a project. Unfortunately, they could not agree on the price, so it has been delayed until now."
"The Tang family?" Shen Yu was stunned, "You mean Zhou Che and the others know the Tang family?"
Kang Lin was silent for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice, "My personal guess is that Tang Li and the Tang family are in cahoots. Because the project resources are from Tang Li, now the person named Lin Pingran is negotiating with the Tang family. Obviously, Lin Pingran is trying to curry favor with the Tang family, but he has been biting on the price. It's probably because Tang Li is putting pressure behind the scenes."
Shen Yu asked, "They haven't succeeded yet?"
Kang Lin replied, "No, but the Tang family's patience is running out."
After that, Kang Lin added, "The Tang family doesn't know that Tang Li is behind Lin Pingran."
Shen Yu was silent.
He guessed for a long time, but he still could not figure out what Tang Li was up to.
Logically speaking, after Tang Li returned to the Tang family, he should start to share the Tang family's work and work hard for the Tang family, instead of fighting against the Tang family in the name of an outsider.
However, on second thought, he thought that Tang Li's actions were not unreasonable.
After all, the Tang family was not like the Shen family. Most of the shares were not in the hands of Shen Yu and Old Master Shen. There were many people in the Tang family, and the power in each person's hands was relatively equal. For many years, the Tang family had checked and balanced each other.
He did not know if Tang Li's actions would cause a hole in the Tang family's circle that had long been formed. He was afraid that at that time, the Tang family would be angry and focus their fire on Tang Li …
Shen Yu thought a lot. It was not until he hung up the phone that he suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask Kang Lin to pay attention to Tang Li's movements.
Sigh.
Forget it …
Shen Yu sighed silently in his heart.
Tang Li was a man of his own ideas. He knew what he was doing.
·
Although Shen Yu said this, he still unconsciously paid attention to the Tang family's recent situation. He also asked his second assistant to sort out the information about the Tang family and send it to him every day before he got off work.
Fortunately, except for some irrelevant official announcements, he did not hear any gossip about the Tang family.
Just when Shen Yu thought that everything was calm, he unexpectedly met the Tang family in a restaurant.
That night.
Shen Yu, Old Master Shen, and a few members of the Shen family who had a good relationship with them came out for dinner. Shen Yu went to the bathroom and happened to meet Tang Ming at the door, who was walking out.
Tang Ming recognized Shen Yu immediately. His face lit up, and he quickly smiled and greeted Shen Yu, "Brother Shen, what a coincidence. Are you also having dinner here?"
"Yes." Shen Yu smiled and asked subconsciously, "Did you come with Tang Li?"
In Shen Yu's impression, Tang Li and Tang Ming often walked together, to the extent that they were inseparable.
When he heard this, there was a flash of panic in Tang Ming's expression, but he quickly concealed it. Naturally, Shen Yu did not catch it.
"Chestnut is indeed here, but it's not convenient for him to see you now …" Tang Ming scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Today is the day of our family dinner. The elders of the family are all present …"
Shen Yu instantly understood the meaning of Tang Ming's words. He hurriedly explained, "I just asked casually. I didn't mean to see him."
"Oh." Tang Ming was obviously relieved. "That's good.
”
"Hmm?" What's good about it?
Shen Yu felt strange. He frowned and stared at Tang Ming.
Tang Ming reacted abruptly and realized that he had let it slip. He hurriedly laughed to cover up the anxiety in his heart. Then, he stammered, "It's nothing. They're still waiting for me. I'll leave first. Let's have a meal together next time if we have the chance."
After he finished speaking, Tang Ming hurriedly ran away without waiting for Shen Yu's reply.
Shen Yu, "…"
He looked gloomily at Tang Ming's figure running away. Just as he was about to turn around and walk away, he suddenly saw a boy with an anxious face running over and grabbing Tang Ming's clothes. He shouted loudly, "Brother Ming, you'd better go and persuade them. No matter what, they can't do that to Tang Li …"
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Ming covered his mouth forcefully.
Tang Wenjing didn't know what was going on, so he mumbled a few words.
"That's enough. Stop talking." Tang Ming turned his head like a thief and happened to meet Shen Yu's gaze not far away. He couldn't help but be shocked.
Then Tang Ming pulled Tang Wenjing and ran away in a panic.
Shen Yu was left standing in the same place. No one knew what he was thinking, but his face became more and more ugly.
When Shen Yu returned to the private room from the bathroom, Old Master Shen and the relatives were chatting.
They happened to talk about Shen Yu's marriage. The relatives advised Old Master Shen to give Shen Yu some more thought. How could a man in his thirties not have a family?
After listening to their words, Old Master Shen shook his head like a rattle drum. He sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. He should worry about his own matters. I already have one foot in the grave. Why should I care so much about him?"
Someone said, "Xiao Yu can't go on like this forever."
Old Master Shen said, "What about him?"
That person said again, "What if Xiao Yu doesn't plan to get married and have children for the rest of his life?"
Old Master Shen said indifferently, "Then he won't get married and have children."
Another person was anxious. "Second Uncle, how can you say that? Only when he has children will there be someone to take care of him in the future and take care of him in his old age. Can you bear to see him be alone after he gets old? "
Her words seemed to have angered Old Master Shen. Old Master Shen glared at her and slammed his palm on the dining table. He scolded, "When he's old, I might not even have ashes left. Why should I worry about him then? And you guys — — "
Old Master Shen pointed at the surrounding juniors in exasperation and scolded, "Do you have nothing better to do? You've already reached your hands into my family. Whether my grandson gets married or not has nothing to do with you. I've saved you money, and you're still not satisfied? Besides, are children born to take care of you in your old age? Look at your own children and see if they can take care of you in your old age. It's good enough that they didn't anger you to death! "
"…"
The others were scolded like quails by Old Master Shen. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word. Their faces were pale.
After Old Master Shen finished, someone apologized carefully. "I'm sorry, Second Uncle. We said too much …"
Old Master Shen glared at him. "Next time, if you're so nosy, I won't be as nice as I am now."
The others: "…"
Although they felt speechless in their hearts, they had to respond embarrassedly. "Yes, yes, yes …"
Old Master Shen breathed a sigh of relief. His ugly expression finally eased a little. He picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the food. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a fair hand using the serving chopsticks to put a piece of thin bread into his bowl.
"Grandpa, calm down." Shen Yu's gentle voice sounded in his ears.
Old Master Shen was stunned. He turned his head in surprise and stared at Shen Yu with a strange look for a long time. Then he said in a muffled voice, "When did you come back?"
Shen Yu: "… I've been sitting here for more than ten minutes."
"Really?" Old Master Shen thought for a moment. "You didn't make any sound when you walked."
But this was not the main point. Old Master Shen just muttered a few words and then stopped talking. Instead, he began to comfort Shen Yu. He fiercely told him not to listen to those words and to get married whenever he wanted. At most, they would be single forever.
The others trembled when they heard this.
After this topic was over, Shen Yu felt strange. He felt as if he had missed something very important. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of what he had missed.
This strange feeling lasted until the end of the meal.
Shen Yu sent Old Master Shen to Uncle Zhang's car. He watched the car drive away and then turned to walk back.
He didn't rush to get into his car. Instead, he went back to the restaurant and asked the waiter about the private room where the Tang family was. Unfortunately, the people in the private room had all left. Only two waiters were left to clean up the mess.
Fortunately, the waiter said that the people in the private room had just left. They should be outside the restaurant by now.
So Shen Yu hurriedly chased after them.
After walking out of the restaurant, he went straight to the parking lot.
It was already past ten o 'clock in the evening. The night was dark and the stars were thin. Only two street lamps stood in front of the grass, emitting a faint light.
There were no passers-by on the path leading to the parking lot. Shen Yu could only hear his own footsteps and the sound of insects in the grass around him.
He walked very quickly, and his injured leg was on full display. His limp was especially severe.
However, Shen Yu didn't seem to feel it. He continued to limp forward. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and planned to call Tang Li.
He just didn't know if Tang Li was convenient to answer the phone …
Shen Yu found Tang Li's name in the address book. Before he could click on it, he suddenly heard a familiar sound.
He paused, stood still, and listened carefully for a while.
It was indeed Tang Li's voice.
But it sounded like he was not in good condition.
Shen Yu followed the intermittent sounds and finally saw Tang Li's figure behind a hidden bush. Even though there was a distance between them, he could still smell the melancholy smell of alcohol.
Tang Li was wearing a black shirt and leaning against a tree. He was so drunk that he could barely stand and could only squat down. He lowered his head and kept vomiting. He looked very uncomfortable.
Shen Yu didn't expect to see such a scene. He was shocked and walked over subconsciously.
"Chestnut …"
"Chestnut!" Tang Ming came out of nowhere. He walked over and squatted beside Tang Li. He patted him on the shoulder and said worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Shen Yu paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and quietly returned to his previous position.
