After seeing him, Shen Yu understood.
Just as Aunt Chen said, Grandpa Shen's physical condition was really bad. His complexion was very bad, and he was so thin that he looked like a bag of bones. It seemed that he was hanging on by a thread.
Grandpa Shen, who had already fallen asleep, did not notice Shen Yu's arrival. His mouth was slightly open, and he was gasping for breath with some difficulty. His brows were tightly knitted, and he did not know if he had a bad dream.
Shen Yu was at a loss.
He stood in the same place, not knowing whether to go closer or leave.
After standing like this for nearly half an hour, suddenly there was a slight sound of the door opening behind him.
Shen Yu turned around and saw Doctor Liu, who was wearing a white coat, walking in quietly.
After meeting Shen Yu's gaze, Doctor Liu smiled and pointed at Grandpa Shen, who was sleeping, and said in almost the same language, "I woke him up. Get ready."
Shen Yu was confused. He did not understand what Doctor Liu wanted him to get ready.
But in the next moment, he understood.
The moment Grandpa Shen opened his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Shen Yu, who was standing behind Doctor Liu. In an instant, he became alert. He picked up the tissue box on the bedside table and threw it at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu held a fruit basket in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other. He awkwardly avoided Grandpa Shen's attack.
"You stinking brat, how dare you come again!" Grandpa Shen's frost-hit eggplant appearance was swept away. His hand that was pointing at Shen Yu shook violently, and his eyes stared as if they were going to pop out. "Get out of here, I don't want to see you!"
Shen Yu was confused.
He had no idea what had happened. He had never seen Grandpa Shen so irritable. Even when he confessed to Grandpa Shen that he liked Tang Li, Grandpa Shen did not blame him.
Shen Yu was upset and could not wait to know what had happened in the past six months.
Doctor Liu seemed to have expected such a scene. He calmly comforted Old Master Shen with a gentle voice. At the same time, he secretly waved at Shen Yu, indicating that Shen Yu should leave first.
"Grandpa..." Shen Yu shouted.
"Get lost!" Old Master Shen scolded.
In desperation, Shen Yu had to put the fruit basket and the bouquet on the cabinet and left the ward reluctantly.
The door of the ward was half open. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen stood in a row silently, looking at Shen Yu with deep eyes.
Aunt Chen asked, "Sir, shall we go?"
Shen Yu shook his head and turned to sit on the bench next to him.
Since he hadn't slept all night, he was a little tired. He leaned his head against the wall and soon felt his eyelids become heavy.
Shen Yu knew that he had fallen asleep. He tried very hard to wake up, but his consciousness was too heavy. It was like a heavy mountain pressing down on his heart. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.
Time passed little by little.
Just when Shen Yu was about to give up struggling, many images flashed in front of his eyes. Those images seemed to have a life of their own and drilled into his brain.
Shen Yu felt that his head was about to explode.
His expression became painful and distorted.
At this time, Aunt Chen and Uncle Zhang's worried voices sounded in his ears.
"Sir, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? "
"He's sleeping too deeply." Uncle Zhang said, "Why don't you look after him? I'll call Doctor Liu over."
"Okay, hurry up!"
When Uncle Zhang was walking away, Shen Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
Aunt Chen was shocked and exclaimed. She quickly reacted and said in surprise, "Are you okay?"
Shen Yu blinked blankly.
He was not okay.
A bunch of memories that didn't belong to him inexplicably appeared in his mind. However, those memories unfolded around him and showed him everything that had happened in the past six months.
The Shen family was indeed bankrupt. Not only did Shen Yu owe a lot of money to the bank, but even the relatives of the Shen family were not spared. They all owed a lot of money. Some people couldn't stand the fall from heaven to hell. They jumped from the roof and ended their lives.
Only Old Master Shen, under Shen Yu's protection, was barely able to stay out of trouble.
These situations were exactly the same as described in the original article.
Even the mastermind behind the annexation of the Tang family's company was the same person — Tang Li.
Of course, no matter how capable the 19-year-old Tang Li was, it was impossible for him to complete such a huge operation alone. He must have the hands and feet of the Tang family behind him. However, no one knew whether Tang Li's behavior was voluntary or not.
There were rumors that Shen Yu deliberately let Tang Li go and tried to use the Tang family to get rid of the bloodsucking relatives of the Shen family. However, no one knew that he was tricked by Tang Li. After Tang Li achieved his goal, he turned hostile and directly tortured Shen Yu to death.
Old Master Shen was already hit hard because of the Shen family's bankruptcy. As a result, the news of the younger generation's suicide by jumping off a building became a hot topic. Whenever Old Master Shen walked out of the house, he would be surrounded by paparazzi who would suddenly jump out and ask him about his thoughts on this matter.
After a while, Old Master Shen fell ill.
Later, there was the news that Shen Yu let Tang Li go. Old Master Shen called Shen Yu for questioning to find out the authenticity of those reports. Unexpectedly, Shen Yu frankly admitted that he did not guard against Tang Li at all, which gave Tang Li a chance to take advantage of him.
No matter how tolerant Old Master Shen was to Shen Yu, he could not accept that the glory of the Shen family was destroyed by Shen Yu.
So —
It became the current situation.
While Shen Yu was sorting out his thoughts, Doctor Liu had also finished the examination for him.
"It's nothing serious. You just haven't had a good rest recently. Go back and have a good sleep." Doctor Liu put away the equipment, patted Shen Yu on the shoulder, and comforted him. "Old Master Shen was shocked and is not in a good state. Please be considerate."
After that, he sighed again. "It's really not easy for an old man to go through so many things at such an old age."
Moreover, the Shen family had been glorious for hundreds of years. If it suddenly fell one day, anyone would feel sorry for their ancestors.
Thinking of this, Doctor Liu glanced at Shen Yu, who was swimming.
Well …
He should take back what he said just now. It seemed that Shen Yu did not feel guilty at all from the beginning to the end. He even went out to travel to relieve his boredom.
Doctor Liu twitched his mouth.
Shen Yu came back to his senses and met Doctor Liu's slightly disdainful eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then got up and asked, "Can I go and see my grandfather?"
Doctor Liu shrugged. "If you are not afraid of being scolded."
Shen Yu was not afraid of being scolded. He was only worried that Old Master Shen was so emotional that it would hurt his body.
He was relieved after getting Doctor Liu's assurance again and again.
When he returned to the ward, the paper box thrown on the ground had been picked up by Aunt Chen. The bouquet was also put into a white vase. The fruits in the fruit basket were washed and placed on a fruit plate on the coffee table.
The air conditioner in the ward was turned on, and the heater was blowing.
Old Master Shen lay quietly on the bed and fell asleep again.
Shen Yu gestured to Aunt Chen and Uncle Zhang, who were sitting on the sofa, to be quiet. He quietly walked to the bedside. He looked at Old Master Shen's aged face, and the pain in his heart could not be stopped.
Shen Yu gently sat on the chair beside the bed. He gritted his teeth fiercely, and the sour feeling that rushed to the tip of his nose almost drowned him.
After a while, tears overflowed from his eyes and fell down in big drops.
Then, with a splat, they fell on the back of Old Master Shen's hand.
Shen Yu quickly took a piece of tissue from the bedside table and wanted to wipe the tears on Old Master Shen's hand. Unexpectedly, that hand suddenly moved.
Old Master Shen's hoarse voice came from the side. "Xiao Yu."
Shen Yu suddenly clenched the tissue in his hand. It took him a lot of effort to force himself to look up.
He did not know when Old Master Shen woke up. He squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Yu listlessly.
"Grandpa." Shen Yu held Old Master Shen's hand tightly. He choked a few times and squeezed out a few words with difficulty. "I'm sorry. I was wrong."
Old Master Shen sighed. "Don't come here in the future. Live your own life."
Shen Yu lowered his head and rested his forehead on the back of Old Master Shen's hand. He let the tears soak his eyes and leave crisscrossing traces on his cheeks. He took a deep breath and finally calmed down.
He looked up and said, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. Let me take care of you in the future, okay? You are the last person I have in this world. Without you, I really don't know what to do … "
Hearing this, Old Master Shen snorted self-deprecatingly. "You have Aunt Chen to accompany you. Why do you still need an old man like me? I will only drag you down. "
Shen Yu did not know what to say. He could only keep apologizing.
"Forget it." Old Master Shen waved his hand and closed his eyes tiredly. "You can go. Don't come to me in the future."
"Grandpa …"
R/>
"Go."
Shen Yu still wanted to speak, but someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.
He turned his head and saw Uncle Zhang's dignified face. Uncle Zhang said euphemistically, "Sir, Old Master needs to rest."
At the same time, Aunt Chen also got up from the sofa and walked out silently.
Shen Yu stopped talking. He turned his head and looked at Old Master Shen, who was pretending to be asleep. He said that he would come to see him in the future and then left with Aunt Chen.
·
In half a year, whether it was the situation around Shen Yu or the development of S City, there had been drastic changes.
The previous three dessert shops had become two. Now, the competition for any business was fierce. Without Shen Yu to take the lead, only Aunt Chen and a few managers supported them. The number of customers was far less than before.
Taking advantage of these few days, Shen Yu went to the two shops to inspect them. He found a lot of problems. The biggest problem was that the new products released every month were not as good as the previous one. Not only did they taste average, but they were also expensive, which dissuaded many customers who came to try the new products.
Now, most of the old customers relied on the old products to retain them.
For this reason, Aunt Chen and a few managers spent a lot of effort.
Unfortunately, the Western Pastry Masters with a little strength looked down on their small shop. The Western Pastry Masters with average strength could not support the dessert shop's business. So, the two dessert shops fell into a vicious cycle.
When Shen Yu returned, several managers were very happy. They also prepared a welcome party for Shen Yu.
The location was set in a high-end restaurant with three floors. The manager named Xia Zhi was rarely generous. He directly booked the second floor of the restaurant and quietly arranged the scene with the waiters.
Although Shen Yu never liked to make trouble, he was not willing to refuse their kindness. So, he waited until they got off work and came to the restaurant to eat together.
Aunt Chen was old, so she did not participate in this dinner party for all the young people. Before leaving, she repeatedly asked Xia Zhi to send Shen Yu to the downstairs of the unit in the community.
Xia Zhi happily agreed.
However, on the surface, this dinner party was a welcome party for Shen Yu. In fact, several managers were having the most fun. They held the oil on the cake in their hands and walked around the table and chairs, trying to smear the oil on others' faces.
Shen Yu found a seat and sat down. He watched these people play with amusement.
Unexpectedly, they ran to Shen Yu's side. Someone suddenly wiped the oil on Shen Yu's cheek.
Shen Yu: "…"
That person did not expect that he would smear it on Shen Yu's face. He panicked in an instant. His face turned blue and white. He stammered and apologized to Shen Yu: "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry. My hand slipped …"
Shen Yu smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay."
That person was still uneasy. He stood there and looked at Shen Yu's expression cautiously.
Shen Yu was helpless. He got up and dug out a ball of oil from that person's hand. When that person was not paying attention, he directly smeared it on his forehead.
"We're even now."
That person was stunned for a moment. He seemed to think that Shen Yu's appearance with oil on it was a little funny. He couldn't help but laugh for a moment.
Shen Yu couldn't help but laugh as well.
The others also laughed.
Shen Yu planned to go to the bathroom to wash his face. However, he didn't know why Xia Zhi, who just went in, locked the door of the bathroom.
Shen Yu knocked on the door. What he got in response was Xia Zhi vomiting.
He waited for a while, but still couldn't go in. He felt that the sticky feeling on his face was really uncomfortable. After thinking for a moment, he had to go to the first floor.
At this time, there shouldn't be any guests on the first floor.
As Shen Yu walked down the stairs, she took a tissue and wiped the oil off her face with difficulty.
There was really no one on the first floor. There were only two or three tables of customers chatting in low voices.
Shen Yu went straight to the bathroom. When he turned the corner, he almost bumped into someone who was walking towards him.
It was a woman.
She was also a very beautiful woman who was dressed up beautifully.
Shen Yu wasn't interested in strangers. After glancing at her casually, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
The woman saw Shen Yu's appearance clearly. She froze for two seconds before she whispered, "It's okay."
Shen Yu nodded and quickly bypassed the woman to enter the bathroom.
When Shen Yu finished washing his face and walked out of the bathroom, he was surprised to find that the woman was still standing in the position where they almost bumped into each other. The woman was wearing a dark red dress, which was particularly eye-catching.
Shen Yu didn't notice it just now. Now that he looked at the woman, he found that the woman looked a little familiar.
Could she be a star?
Shen Yu guessed in his heart.
The woman fiddled with the watch on her wrist. When she turned her head and saw Shen Yu approaching, she couldn't help but show a touch of joy on her face. She walked quickly in high heels and blocked Shen Yu's way without saying anything.
Shen Yu finally looked at the woman's face.
The sense of familiarity grew stronger.
The two people stared at each other like this for about half a minute.
The woman finally couldn't hold back and took the initiative to say, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here on my first night back in China. It saves me the trouble of looking for you all over the world."
Looking for him?
Why was she looking for him?
Shen Yu became more and more confused. He still had a polite smile on his face, "Madam, may I ask who you are?"
Before he finished speaking, the woman's smile froze in an instant. Then, an embarrassed expression climbed up her whole face like a Boston ivy.
"Shen Yu, you don't even remember me?" The woman's gentle voice suddenly became sharp, but she quickly realized her gaffe. She coughed twice with a cold face and said in a cold tone, "I'm Du Pingting."
Damn!
Du Pingting!
Ten thousand alpacas galloped through Shen Yu's mind, but he still looked calm on the surface. The corner of his mouth raised into a friendly smile, "Oh, you're getting more and more beautiful. I almost didn't recognize you."
There was no woman who didn't like to be praised.
After hearing this, Du Pingting's cloudy face suddenly brightened up. She covered her mouth and laughed softly, "Really?"
Shen Yu smiled politely, "Really."
Du Pingting said, "After so many years, you're still so good at talking and making me happy."
Shen Yu, "…"
He wanted to say, Miss Du, I'm not making you happy. You're the one who's laughing so hard that your eyes are almost gone.
Then, the atmosphere fell into silence again.
They had been separated for so many years. Du Pingting thought that when she suddenly appeared in front of Shen Yu, Shen Yu would be surprised, angry, sad, and ask her a lot of questions.
That way, she could naturally release all the sadness, grievances, and memories she had of Shen Yu over the years.
Unfortunately, Shen Yu didn't ask her anything.
Not only did he have an indifferent attitude, but he also looked behind her from time to time. It seemed that he was in a hurry to leave. If she wasn't in the middle of the road, Shen Yu might have already slipped away.
After realizing this, Du Pingting was shocked and angry.
She was shocked because they hadn't seen each other for a few years. Shen Yu, who used to kill her, actually forgot about her. She was angry because Shen Yu didn't remember her. When she took the initiative to reconcile with him, he didn't even say a word of concern.
Wasn't Shen Yu curious about what she had been through all these years?
The more Du Pingting thought about it, the more wronged she felt. The tip of her nose faintly turned sour.
When Shen Yu saw Du Pingting's red eyes, he guessed that this lady must be acting pitiful in front of him. He didn't want to know anything about Du Pingting at all. He thought that it was already very kind of him not to beat Du Pingting up.
Who had the time to listen to this woman's nonsense?
"Sorry, I still have something to do. That's all." Shen Yu rushed to leave before Du Pingting. He bypassed Du Pingting and left.
"Shen Yu!" Du Pingting shouted behind him. Her voice sounded a little pitiful. "You don't have feelings for me anymore?"
Shen Yu turned around.
Du Pingting nibbled and looked at him pitifully.
Shen Yu said, "You are a lady from a rich family. I am just a poor family who just went bankrupt. I am not worthy of you."
According to Aunt Chen, the day before Du Pingting eloped with the male model, Du Pingting went to find the original owner and said the same words. You are the head of the Shen family. I am just an ordinary girl with no achievements. I am not worthy of you.
These words were returned to Du Pingting.
After that, Shen Yu turned around and left.
Du Pingting stared at Shen Yu's back with a pale face. She almost ground her teeth to pieces.
