Ch.11 – Moral Lesson
Outside the court.
When Shen Yu and Uncle Zhang arrived, the scene was already crowded with reporters who had heard the news.
Seeing Shen Yu in a wheelchair pushed by Uncle Zhang, the crowd rushed forward like hungry tigers.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhang arranged Shen Yu's bodyguards in advance. Before the crowd could approach Shen Yu, the bodyguards came forward to protect him, forming a tall and thick wall of people around Shen Yu.
The reporters were not discouraged, while struggling to resist the wall of bodyguards, they extended their microphones towards Shen Yu.
"Mr. Shen, have you made up your mind to adopt the child of the Tang family? Nowadays, it is rumored that the child is at the center of the struggle between you and Elder Shen. What exactly is the truth? Please let us know."
The question was posed by a female journalist who looked sharp-toothed [1]. She raised her hand over the bodyguard's shoulder and almost pinned the wireless microphone to Shen Yu's face.
When Uncle Zhang saw the situation, his face turned dark and terrible. He grabbed the hand of the female journalist and exerted a slight force. The female journalist felt it was so painful that she could not scream out, and her expression became distorted.
"Clap" a sound rang out.
The wireless microphone that was originally in the hands of a female journalist landed on the ground.
People crowded around and nobody could tell who stepped on it, but the wireless microphone, which looked so hard, broke into pieces.
The female journalist looked down at the microphone, her whole face turned to a pig's liver color, the pain in her heart seemed to condense and spill over into her eyes.
She looked up sharply, and at the next moment she turned her gaze to Uncle Zhang, who was already in the middle of the storm. She was suddenly stunned and shivered in fear. Her lips hung slightly open, but she could not produce a single sound.
"Reporters should report the truth and seek that truth from facts, not just rumors and nonsense. What's more, it's not your right to provoke drama between Mr. Shen and Elder Shen."
Uncle Zhang did not deliberately lower his voice, so, many people that were crowded around them heard the words.
They seemed to be a little afraid of Uncle Zhang's anger. The original noisy atmosphere gradually quieted down.
At that moment, Shen Yu, who had been silent, suddenly said, "I want to clarify two things to you."
Hearing this, the reporters immediately aimed their lens and microphones at Shen Yu.
Uncle Zhang, pushing his wheelchair, also stopped.
After a pause, Shen Yu went on to say, "Firstly, I volunteered to accept Tang Li, which had nothing to do with my grandpa, and I get along very well with my grandpa, I'm sorry to disappoint you with this news. Secondly, I have no intention to adopt Tang Li for the time being. His custody is still in the hands of the Tang family. Maybe after today, his guardian will become his grandfather."
As soon as this remark came out, the press group started to make a fuss again.
A reporter asked, "Since you chose to accept the child, why haven't you planned to adopt him for the time being?"
Shen Yu told the truth: "Tang Li's relatives are still alive and have the ability to raise a child. From the legal point of view, I can't get custody of Tang Li."
Another reporter quickly asked, "So what you are doing now is all in vain? Or is it for another purpose?"
Shen Yu turned his head, raised his lips and smiled at the reporter. However, there was no smile in those beautiful peach blossom eyes.
The male journalist was uncomfortable being directly stared at by Shen Yu, and tried to divert the topic to ease the tense atmosphere. He heard Shen Yu ask him, "Do you know what I'm doing here today?"
Such a straightforward remark stunned the male journalist and he blankly answered, "Aren't you here to bring a lawsuit against the child's relatives?"
"And then?" Shen Yu's eyes grew colder and the corners of his mouth tinged with sarcasm. "Why are we suing?"
Faced with Shen Yu's aggressive attitude, the male journalist immediately felt like he was being played with, and his anger shot up.
But he dared not speak in anger.
The reason why they dare to ask all kinds of bitter questions to important men like Shen Yu is that they depend on being part of a crowd.
However, at this moment, Shen Yu's spearhead is directed at him alone.
The male reporter was so nervous that a cold sweat slowly flowed from his forehead. He felt sympathetic eyes from all sides. He hesitated for a long time and did not know how to answer Shen Yu's words.
He had no idea what kind of lawsuit Shen Yu was bringing.
Don't mention just him. It can be said that more than two-thirds of the journalists here don't care about the content of the lawsuit.
They only came for Shen Yu, and the outcome of the lawsuit was entirely beyond their concern.
"So, you don't even know what I'm doing here."
Shen Yu was very angry and laughed bitterly. His light brown eyes were covered with a layer of frost. At this moment, it seemed that even his breath was cold.
After a moment, he murmured, "As a man of the media, you should dig out the unfair, unjust and deliberately hidden truth of this society. Now there is a child abuse case before you. You don't even look at it. Instead, you are trying to pull out some insignificant personal gossip from me. Are you worthy of the press sign hanging around your neck?"
Shen Yu seldom loses his temper.
But now...
He was really miserable.
He can understand that journalists dig up gossip from him in order to boost their sales, but what he can't bear is that they ask these questions to him under the guise of caring about Tang Li. They appear to report the progress of the lawsuit, when in fact, they don't even know what the lawsuit is about.
Shen Yu felt extremely irritable at the thought that these reporters were profiting from Tang Li's misery [2].
It seems that there is a rush of fiery rage in Shen Yu's body and no exit can be found.
The male journalist and others were shocked by Shen Yu's stern appearance. For a long time, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. After some time, the male journalist blushed and stammered, "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I admit that I was negligent. I apologize to you."
Shen Yu quickly calmed down and smiled, "I'm sorry, but I don't accept your apology."
The male journalist froze on the spot, his face turned green and white. In front of his peers, he felt as if he had been slapped by dozens of people in one breath, and there was hot pain on his cheeks.
The rest of the people groaned and went as quiet as clams.
No one thought that Shen Yu, who had been discarded in the rumors, was so terrible when he was angry. Even though he was still sitting in a wheelchair, the low pressure emitted around him still made everyone gasp for breath.It was not until the court session began that Shen Yu met Tang Jia and Yuan Yunping, as well as 78 middle-aged men and women, who presumably were relatives of the mother of Tang Li.
They sat in the defendant's seat, pale and desperate.
When they came in just now, they were undoubtedly surrounded by the group of journalists who were outside, so the court was packed to the rafters [3].
Perhaps it's because of Shen Yu words just now. In regard to Tang Li's relatives, reporters made every effort to give full meaning to the words "tough and mean". The male journalist who was personally confronted by Shen Yu, pulled out from Yuan Yunping's own mouth, that he had abused his niece.
Their words and deeds, without omission, were clearly photographed by the cameras around them.
Finished.
It's all over now.
Yuan Yunping was in a trance, as if he were still dreaming.
He couldn't figure it out. Not long ago, he lived an enviable life as a rice worm [4]. He didn't need to work or socialize. He only needed to look for his brother-in-law for money. However, in a twinkling of an eye, his brother-in-law died in a car accident, and he and his wife were sitting in the defendant's chair for a case of child abuse.
All this is brought on by Shen Yu!
If it hadn't been for Shen Yu suddenly taking Tang Li away, there would not have been so many bad things happening.
Yuan Yunping hung his head, his eyes are like sharp needles quenched with poison. He stared at Shen Yu, facing him fiercely. The ferocious hatred almost gushed out of his chest.
But it was no use.
Glass stones can't break boulders [5, even if so many of them unite, they can't harm a single hair on Shen Yu's head.
For Tang Jia and Yuan Yunping, even with the air conditioning in the room, sweat from their faces and necks kept spilling over, soaking their temples and shirts.
The more backward you go, the more desperate you become.
Until finally, a middle-aged woman seemed to be overwhelmed by her psychological burden. Her eyes rolled back, and she fell directly from her chair.
Shen Yu looked at the reaction of all the people facing him with an air of composure. The irony and ridicule at the corners of his mouth never disappeared.
These are the relatives who brought up the villains in the original plot.
They abused the villain and as a result, distorted the three views of the villain, making the villains grow up into a problem teenager suffering from depression and mania.
Shen Yu remembered the small villain's obedient manner in front of him. He had immediately become soft-hearted remembering Tang Li and in turn, complained more fiercely about the group's atrocities.
Fortunately, after crossing through the novel, he had met the little villain before he blackened.
Regardless of if Tang Li was the little villain, there is still hope.
Two hours later, after the court hearing ended, the judge sentenced Tang Jia and Yuan Yunping to two-to-three years of imprisonment and stripped Yuan Yunping and his wife of their custody of Tang Li.
Although the judge said that the defendants could file an appeal, everyone knew that it would be futile for the defendants to struggle in the face of such hard evidence.
When the judge left the room, Tang Jia and Yuan Yunping hugged each other and wept bitterly.
Shen Yu did not look at them again and left with Uncle Zhang and bodyguards.
Just as he got in the car, Uncle Zhang's cell phone suddenly rang.
All this time, the mobile phone was being held onto by Shen Yu. He took out the mobile phone and looked at the screen. It was Elder Shen.
After answering the phone, before Shen Yu even had the chance to speak, he heard Elder Shen's boisterous laugh coming from the mobile phone: "You're on the news Little Yu. I just saw your interview clips. It's good! You deserve to be called the grandson of Shen Kui, not giving those people any room to breathe."
Shen Yu did not ask Elder Shen how he knew that he was the person who answered the phone, but said, "I thought you were praising me."
"How can you say this? I was praising you."
Even through the phone, Shen Yu could imagine the lively expression of Elder Shen as he spoke.
He couldn't help laughing: "Good..."
"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you." Elder Shen coughed twice and then openly said, "Come back whenever you have time, and bring the Tang Li boy with you. I haven't seen Tang Jian's son yet."
[1] 牙尖嘴利, meaning "sharp tooth". This means a person is eloquent or clever when they speak.
[2] The original says, "profit from eating Tang Li's steamed buns." Which means to profit from him, but I thought it sounded too much like "eating his tofu." Which is...different.
[3] 三层外三层, meaning "Three Layers Outside of Three Layers."
[4] Meaning someone that only eats and sleeps. Well taken care of and lazy.
[5] 胳膊掰不过大腿, literally meaning "arms can't break thighs".

h.12 – Fired

Originally, the tone of Elder Shen was fairly normal. However, when he started talking about Tang Li, it became a little strange.

Shen Yu has been in this world for half a year. Besides Uncle Zhang, Aunt Chen and Kang Lin, the person he has met the most is Elder Shen, so he more or less knows about Elder Shen's childish temper after such a long time together.

For example, on the topic of marriage, in one day Elder Shen could come up with 500 completely different excuses to cheat him into meeting girls.

At first, Shen Yu would be fooled. Later, he learned how to seek experience from failure. Now, he could analyze the composition the words of Elder Shen to find his many hidden lies.

"I can bring Chestnut to see you, but only on the condition that it's just the three of us. If I see other people there, I will take Chestnut and leave." Shen Yu doesn't like to beat around the bush. Even when facing Elder Shen, he will speak directly and clearly in advance.

As a result, Elder Shen listened to his words and immediately became unhappy.

"How can you talk to your elders like this? Can I still be threatened by a young boy like you when I'm already this old?

Looking at his little trick being punctured by his grandson; Elder Shen immediately played a rogue. "I don't care, anyway, I made an appointment with the granddaughter of Lao Yang's family last week. You have to come over for dinner at seven o'clock next Saturday evening, otherwise, you can only wait for this old man to hit the wall in front of you after losing so much face! [1]"

After the angry words were finished, Elder Shen "snapped" and hung up the phone.

"..." Shen Yu held up his mobile phone and did not respond for a long time.

When Uncle Zhang, who was in the driver seat in front of him, saw Shen Yu's expression. He couldn't help asking, "The Old Master is urging you to go over again?"

Shen Yu put away his cell phone, spread his shoulders across the back of his seat, and said with a bitter laugh, "My grandfather has a particular obsession in this respect, but I'm only in my early twenties, so I don't need to be in such a hurry."

"After Du Pingting left, the Old Master has begun to worry so much. Although he uses the wrong methods, he's just thinking about you..."

Halfway through, Uncle Zhang suddenly realized that he had inadvertently mentioned Miss Du, and his voice abruptly stopped.

Uncle Zhang was slightly alarmed and quickly looked at Shen Yu in the rearview mirror.

Fortunately, Shen Yu was not affected by what he said. He was holding his chin and looking out of the window at the rapidly changing scenery pass by. Nobody could tell what he was thinking of.

After a long time, after waiting for the second half of Uncle Zhang's words, Shen Yu slowly retracted his eyes and looked up at Uncle Zhang in the rearview mirror.

"Why don't you talk?"

"Oh..." Uncle Zhang calmed down, looked ahead, concentrated on driving, and then pretended to inadvertently ask, "Sir, what do you think?"

Shen Yu smiled, and two shallow dimples appeared on his porcelain cheeks: "Actually, I'm not worried at all. You see, my grandfather is still single at that age. I can't leave the old man alone first."

Uncle Zhang wanted to stop talking. He confirmed that Shen Yu truly didn't care about what he had just carelessly said about Miss Du before he gritted his teeth and continued to ask, "Sir, with all due respect, are you still waiting for Miss Du?"

Shen Yu questioned, "Why do you ask?"

"You've been refusing the request of the Old Master to go on a blind date. You're not even willing to look at the faces of those girls. I'm a little worried that you are still immersed in that relationship..."

Shen Yu was very helpless: "The reason I don't want to fall in love is that my current state is not suitable. When I can stand up by myself, then I can confidently find another partner. Also, I don't have any relationship with that woman."

Uncle Zhang did not believe it. He looked suspiciously at Shen Yu.

"I really didn't lie to you." Shen Yu thought silently that maybe he should hold up three fingers and swear to heaven.

It seems that no matter how strong his psychological quality is, he can't stand the sympathetic eyes of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen gave him from time to time.

Please...

Don't keep that humiliating thing in mind all the time.

Wearing a green hat [2] is a lifelong humiliation for a man, okay?

Even worse, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen not only wrote this humiliation down deeply in their hearts, but also reminded Shen Yu with their eyes that his body had been wearing a green cap before, pitifully weak and helpless...

This humiliation made it so that Shen Yu, who had no feeling for the woman she had never met before, now developed a complete aversion to the topic of Miss Du, who left behind the injured original Shen Yu and ran away with a male model.

"Ah..." Shen Yu uttered a sigh. "Is it not fun to raise children? What else are you looking for?

Uncle Zhang: "..."

Ok

Now he was sure that his young master has finally forgotten the once beloved Miss Du.

Thinking of this, Uncle Zhang's mood cannot help but become happy.

He should have realized that Shen Yu had already forgotten Miss Du. For half a year now, Shen Yu did not mention Miss Du's name again, as if the woman did not exist at all.

Du Pingting and Shen Yu have been engaged for nearly ten years. Although Du Pingting has no feeling for Shen Yu, Shen Yu liked Du Pingting very much. He was willing to be strung along by Du Pingting and do anything she asked.

Now it's time for Shen Yu to open his eyes and see Miss Du's real face clearly.

——————————

Shen Yu did not go home but instead went directly to the company to deal with some things, and hold two meetings.

During his absence from the company, all the affairs in the company were handled by Kang Lin. After a bit of time, some rumors inevitably came out that Shen Yu had been knocked down and the Shen family and company would be finished sooner or later.

Although Knag Lin has been intentionally suppressing the spread of rumors, those rumors were still growing. Even in the early stages of the rumors, the company panicked.

Originally, several managers had managed to put the matter under control. However, after Shen Yu's interview outside the court this morning was released, the excitement in the company started boiling again.

"Did you see Mr. Shen's interview? It's awesome! The journalists were frozen by him! "

"Mr. Shen has not been out for a long time. The last time he went out, he was shopping with that child. This time he went out to fight a lawsuit for that child. Is Mr. Shen really training that child to be the heir of the Shen family?"

"Not to mention... I heard that Tang Jian, the father of the child, was the former president of the Dawan Group. He was the illegitimate son of Elder Shen, so that's why Elder Shen is so protective of Tang Jian's son.

"What the fuck! Seriously?!"

"It's so explosive! After all, is our company the future heaven of the Tang family?!"

Several people had gathered together to discuss heatedly, when suddenly, they heard a violent cough behind them.

At the same time, those people froze and turned their heads together, and in the next second, they were facing Shen Yu's beautiful and emotionless face.

In an instant, their faces looked like ghosts.

In order not to be noticed, they chose a seat in the corner of the conference room to sit down.

Who was it that didn't remember that there are two doors in this conference room?! They looked at the front door. They don't know when Shen Yu had come in from the back door and rolled up behind them in a wheelchair.

"Mr. Shen is always so good..." They struggled to squeeze these words out of their teeth.

Shen Yu nodded his head as if he had not heard what they were discussing just now. Instead, he asked coldly, "Are all the managers of your department here?"

"Of course, of course!" Several people turned pale with fear and like chickens pecking at rice, kept nodding their heads wildly.

The group had come from three different departments, and not daring to hesitate at all, hurriedly pointed out to Shen Yu the managers of the all three departments.

Shen Yu looked up, his site following the direction of their fingers. Then he raised his lips and said with a light smile, "I see. Thank you."

After that, he steered the wheelchair to the front of the meeting room.

The rest of them were so frightened that their hearts were leaping out of their chest. They looked at each other with relief and saw just how lucky they were in the eyes of others.

Mr. Shen must have heard what they were saying!

Fortunately, Mr. Shen never caused them trouble. Otherwise, even if they didn't lose face in the eyes of the public, they might not even be able to keep their present high salary jobs.

Just when they thought it was over, it turned out that they were all wrong.

Shen Yu had temporarily summoned the managers of the company before he left work to deal with a matter.

He first explained the recent rumors in two sentences and told everyone not to follow suit. Then he asked Kang Lin, who was standing next to him, to read a list.

This list included the three department managers mentioned by those people.

"Those whose names have been read should hand over their work within one week and go to the Personnel Department to complete the formalities for departure." Kang Lin said expressionlessly, "If you have any questions, you can ask me in person."

After that, there was an uproar.

"Why!" A person whose name was called was agitated, stood up violently, and asked loudly, with his thick neck, "We worked diligently and did not make any mistakes. You are not qualified to let us go!"

"That is, we are protected by the national labor law. If you do not give a reasonable explanation, we will apply for labor arbitration!"

The group of named people protested wildly.

Others sat quietly in their respective positions, regardless of their height, fearing to be caught in the flames of the current fire.

Despite the fierce rage of the crowd, Shen Yu was still very calm.

When Shen Yu slowly raised his hand, everyone was froze like they were pinched by the neck.

Suddenly there was silence.

The meeting room was so full, yet it was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

The group looked at Shen Yu's cold expression with eager eyes and thought that after a while of thinking, Shen Yu suddenly changed his mind and decided to let them stay.

Who would know what Shen Yu would say to the group as he picked up his mobile phone: "You go on, I'll answer the phone."

The group: "..."

Just become a ghost already!

Does Shen Yu understand that they were protesting?

The leader had answered the phone, who else could they protest to?!

Originally, Shen Yu's words had made the group of people feel like they had swallowed a fly. How could they know that Shen Yu's next move would make them even more shocked?

Shen Yu answered the phone, steered his wheelchair to the edge of the conference room, and spoke gently into his phone, "Chestnut, is school over? I'm still at the company. I'll pick you up later."

People: "..."

They looked at each other, shocked, and everyone's jaws had dropped to the point that they could stuff an egg in their mouth.

What the fuck!

Did they hear right?

The always expressionless Mr. Shen has such a kind side?!!

And the "Chestnut" ... Is it the child named Tang Li?

Sure enough, Mr. Shen is raising that child as his own son.

[1] He's basically saying, "if you don't come visit I'll be so ashamed that I can only kill myself."

[2] Wearing a green cap, meaning to be cheated on, usually used in the context of something like "his wife gave him a green hat". I've only ever seen it in the context of women cheating on men.

Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterCh.13 – Pick Up

Shen Yu, who was paying attention to the phone, did not notice that expressions of the employees were all as if they had been struck by lightning. He quickly went to the reception room which was located next to the conference room.

After closing the sliding glass door, he parked the wheelchair in front of several bright windows.

The whole process lasted less than five minutes, not too long, but not too short.

During this period, Tang Li on the other side of the phone never made any sound.

He was so quiet that Shen Yu couldn't even hear his breathing.

"Chestnut?" Shen Yu called out softly. He paused, then moved his mobile phone away from his ear and looked at the screen. The phone read that the call was still active. How strange. "Chestnut? Can you hear me?"

After a long time, he finally heard a low, husky voice in his ear: "Yes?"

The voice sounded a little unhappy.

Like the person speaking was vexed.

Shen Yu, conscious of this, became nervous and quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? What happened in the school?"

Tang Li answered in a low voice, "Nothing."

Shen Yu frowned seriously and warned, "Don't lie. I don't like children who lie."

When Tang Li, who was in low spirits, heard Shen Yu say this, he instantly became energetic, even a little nervous and said, "I didn't lie. It was a puppy that lied."

Just now, Shen Yu, who was still holding his phone, burst out laughing. The lovely look of Tang Li's round eyes appeared in his mind, and he felt itchy at once.

He really wanted to touch the soft hair of the little villain.

After trying to suppress the strong desire surging into his heart, Shen Yu calmed down and then spoke, "You sounded like you were unhappy."

Tang Li urgently retorted, "No I didn't."

Shen Yu countered, "You did."

"I didn't."

"Yes, you did"

"I really didn't."

"Originally you did."

After several rounds, Tang Li quieted down.

Just when Shen Yu thought that the little villain would remain silent, he heard the other side sigh like an old man and whisper: "School got out two hours ago..."

Shen Yu: "..."

This is the first time that he has raised a child in his two lives. He has no idea what time students are supposed to leave school, and he had forgotten to ask the principal and the teacher.

"Would you wait a little longer? I'll pick you up." Shen Yu touched his nose, subconsciously softening his voice, like an old father coaxing his children. "I promise I will remember the times you go to and from school and your schedule for next time!"

Between these words, there are some pleasant meanings.

After all, the other party is a powerful villain in the future. Indirectly, he destroyed Shen Yu's company and directly, he took his life.

Shen Yu is troubled whenever he thinks of the original fate of the villain.

He just wants to be an ordinary rich man, and he doesn't want to be involved in the triangle love between the villain and the male and female leads, which has as many twists as a mountain road.

However, Tang Li had no idea what Shen Yu was thinking. He was stunned when he heard Shen Yu's soft words.

His disobedient heart began to thump again.

Only after a long time did it finally slow down.

"You don't have to come over." He whispered to Shen Yu, "I can go back by myself. I know the way to the house."

Shen Yu ignored Tang Li's words and started offering him flattering words without restraint: "Oh, my Chestnut is so smart that at such a young age he knows how to go home."

"..." Tang Li helplessly made a solemn statement: "I'm not small, I'm already ten years old."

"Yes, yes, ten years old." Shen Yu smiled and said, "Not small at all."

"..." Tang Li knew Shen Yu had not listened to his words, so he gave up the struggle.

When Shen Yu saw that Tang Li was no longer angry about not being picked up, he was relieved and said, "Wait for me at school. When I arrive, I will call you. Don't leave school or follow strangers."

When he told this, Shen Yu felt that his whole body was covered with the glorious image of a loving father.

Ah...

Raising children really is a bittersweet experience.

Tang Li was silent for a long time: "... I know."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yu returned to the conference room in a wheelchair.

He didn't know what had happened just now. The desks and chairs in front of him had collapsed to the ground. Documents and pens were thrown everywhere. Ten or so tall security guards stood in front of the conference room like giant mountains.

As for the leaders of the previous protests, they were all sitting in their seats with bruised noses and swollen faces, seeming somewhat pitiful.

After seeing Shen Yu come in, Kang Lin, who seemed to be in a daze, instantly returned to his indifferent expression. He turned around and said to Shen Yu, "Master Shen, this side has been handled properly."

Obviously, it was handled by force.

But Shen Yu did not care about Kang Lin's way of solving the problem. He glanced coldly at all the trembling people who were watching him. He said, "That's all for today. You're dismissed."

The voice fell, but the people in the conference room seemed to be frozen and motionless, fearing that the first person to get up would be killed directly by Shen Yu.

Unfortunately, Shen Yu had no time to care about the staff's psychological feelings. He didn't wait to manipulate the wheelchair to leave the meeting room.

He's going to pick up his child at school.

"Mr. Shen!" Someone shouted behind him.

Shen Yu stopped helplessly. Although he was a little upset, he turned his wheelchair and looked around.

The marketing manager, who had made the most noise before and claimed to be applying for labor arbitration, stood up. He tried to approach Shen Yu and was rudely pushed back by the black-faced security guard before he could even take two more steps.

Shen Yu put his hands on his knees and listened attentively as if he were saying, "Say it."

"Mr. Shen, I don't want to leave my job. I'm still paying my mortgage and car loan. There are also four old people and two children in my family who need support. If I lose my job, my whole family will collapse!"

The marketing manager was beaten the hardest. His right eye was black, and his mouth was bloody.

He had lost all his madness from the previous uproar. With tears in his eyes, he started humbly currying favor with Shen Yu, "Mr. Shen, you're a fair and great man, if I have done something wrong before, just say it and I will correct it. Even if you deduct my salary, please don't fire me..."

The other employees were touched, and behind him the group of people who had also been beaten began to echo his words in a low voice.

It looked pitiful.

Even Shen Yu would have thought they were victims if it hadn't been for the obvious black and blue and bloodstains on the faces of security guards.

Shen Yu smiled lightly, with strong mockery in his eyes, he slowly opened his mouth: "As the managers of the various departments of the company, you not only did not do your required jobs, but instead actively supported the creation of rumors. You usually make mistakes in your work. However, because I know you have served for the company for many years, I was willing to close one eye. But make no mistake, my bottom line is not low enough to allow you to actively slander me!"

Speaking of this final point, Shen Yu's voice became more and more deep.

The group of rioters, including the marketing managers, were finished.

Now, they know they had really kicked the iron plate [1].

"The Personnel Department has been given a hundred reasons for having you leave. If you are interested, you can ask them." With that, Shen Yu paused for a moment, then turned his eyes and laughed. "And, I always welcome you to apply for labor arbitration."

After that, Shen Yu left the meeting room without turning back.

The employees in the office area seemed to have heard the news coming from the conference room. Sitting in their positions with blank faces, they dared not to even breathe in the current atmosphere.

It was not until Shen Yu took the elevator downstairs that everyone's nerves finally relaxed.

It seems that the management of the company is going to change a lot.

Mr. Shen doesn't always come to the company, but when he does, it's amazing.

Everyone was silently shrieking inside, but they dared not talk about it anymore. They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would end up like the people in the conference room.

————————-

When Shen Yu returned to his office, Uncle Zhang was sitting on the sofa reading and waiting to leave.

The clock on the wall had already moved towards 6:30 p.m., which seemed earlier than the normal time for students to leave school.

"Let's go." Shen Yu returned his cell phone to Uncle Zhang after holding on to it for a day.

Before they came to the elevator, they happened to meet Kang Lin, who had just come back from the upstairs conference room. Shen Yu suddenly remembered something and told Kang Lin, "Go and help me buy some electronic products, mobile tablets and laptops, and send them to my home after you have bought them."

"All right." Kang Lin thought Shen Yu was buying these for himself and asked, "What does Mr. Shen want?"

Shen Yu was somewhat confused. After thinking about it, he said, "Just buy it if you think a ten-year-old boy will like it."

"..."

Kang Lin guessed that his boss was going to throw money towards Tang Li again. He wanted to tell Shen Yu that ten-year-old children should not have these things. Instead, they should study hard and pay attention to their education.

But for Shen Yu, who is addicted to spending money to raise his baby, these words would be in vain.

"Understood, Master Shen," Kang Lin said with a complicated expression.

If Tang Li is a mobile game, his boss is a diamond level player [2].

Ah~~

He also wants to be Shen Yu's son.

When Uncle Zhang and Shen Yu drove to the school, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening. Large orange and red clouds spread in the sky, as if they had stained the air with a tinge of red.

Tang Li did not leave, the principal and several teachers did not dare to leave in advance, and one after another stayed in the classroom to accompany Tang Li.

Unfortunately, Tang Li's face was very ugly, and there was a low pressure emitting from all over his body.

The villain sat silently in his seat, eyebrows lowered, corners of his mouth stretched in a straight line, a look that indicated that he would be very unpleasant to provoke.

The principal and the teachers did not go forward to talk to Tang Li but instead sat around the corners of the classroom chatting.

Suddenly, they heard the familiar sound of a wheelchair rolling in the corridor outside, Tang Li raised his head sharply, and his expression became joyful at a speed too fast for the naked eye to comprehend.

Before the principals and teachers could even respond, Tang Li rushed out of the classroom like a bullet.

[1] This is phrase with a similar meaning to "shot yourself in the foot".

[2] Referring to players that spend large amounts of money on games.

When Shen Yu was still some distance away from the classroom door, he saw a small figure rush out of the classroom.

Before Shen Yu could react, the little figure ran over to him at a very fast speed.

Then, he suddenly stopped his running and stood motionless...

Shen Yu was ready to welcome the little villains with open arms. He had just raised his hands, preparing to embrace Tang Li and found that his little villain had no intention of jumping into his arms.

"..." Shen Yu lowered his arms and then brought one hand up to touch his nose, embarrassed, thinking that he was the only one feeling passionate.

Standing in the same place, Tang Li's beautiful phoenix eyes looked at Shen Yu. The sky outside the corridor behind the little villain was covered in fiery red clouds, which stained the side of his small face with a hazy glow.

His eyes were very bright.

As if they were night sky full of stars. They were so gorgeous that for a moment, Shen Yu dared not to look directly into the eyes of the villains.

"Chestnut." Shen Yu laughed and called out, waving his hand to Tang Li at the same time.

Tang Li had long become accustomed to Shen Yu's actions. Seeing him raise his hand, he unconsciously took a few steps forward. The distance of one meter was shortened to one step.

Shen Yu smiled and squinted at Tang Li, looking at his expressionless appearance. The curvature of his mouth could not be suppressed. Finally, he touched Tang Li's soft hair as he sighed. Then he asked gently, "Did you have fun at school?"

Uncle Zhang, who was standing next to him: "..."

This is also his young master's unique way of thinking. The first question to ask the child is actually if he had fun at school. If ordinary teachers heard parents ask their children this, he was afraid they would vomit blood [1].

However, it is clear that the principal and teachers of this school are not in the ordinary type.

After catching up with Tang Li, they heard Shen Yu's question. Although there was a subtle change in their expressions for a few seconds, they dared not say anything, and their faces were quickly wiped blank.

Tang Li nodded, not answering Shen Yu's question. He then handed Shen Yu the cell phone he had been holding on to.

"A lot of people are calling you."

Shen Yu took a look at his cell phone and saw a line of bright red unanswered calls, some had left messages, and some were unfamiliar numbers. The green call records of Elder Shen and Uncle Zhang, who had been connected, were very conspicuous.

No wonder the old man knew he was holding onto Uncle Zhang's cell phone.

Shen Yu did not ask Tang Li what Elder Shen had said. Instead, he gently touched Tang Li's hair. Then after checking the time on his phone he looked up at the principal and teachers and spoke, "I've inconvenienced you."

The principal waved his hand and laughed. "It's our pleasure to help Mr. Shen, it's no trouble at all."

After leaving school and getting in the car, Shen Yu told Tang Li of what had happened in court this morning, including the legal punishment that Tang Jia and Yuan Yunping eventually received.

After listening to Shen Yu's words, Tang Li did not respond as expected. His expression was as blank as a dead lake, without a single ripple.

"I see." The villain whispered.

Shen Yu looked at Tang Li's drooping head and felt a sudden pain in his heart.

No matter what the villain's destiny was in the original text, Tang Li is now with him. He is part of the Shen family, and also the child that he has worked so hard to raise.

At the moment, the child is in a low mood, and naturally, as a parent, he is not happy.

Shen Yu murmured for a moment, then suddenly put his hands on Tang Li's shoulders, exerted a little pressure, and the unsuspecting Tang Li was forced to twist half of his body to face Shen Yu.

"Chestnut." Shen Yu spoke seriously.

The little villain, stunned, opened his eyes slightly and after adjusting his posture, sat up.

Shen Yu said, "What are you thinking? Do you want to talk about anything? Although I haven't gotten custody of you for the time being, you are already part of the family.

The big one and the small one were very close, as if they could almost feel the temperature of each other's breathing.

Tang Li didn't seem to have expected Shen Yu to say this with such seriousness. After a while, his cheeks slowly turned red and then spread to his ears in the blink of an eye.

"Am I really your family?" Tang Li asked in a low voice.

Shen Yu laughed and lightly pinched Tang Li's nose. "The realest family."

Tang Li lowered his eyes and gave a gentle hum, as if he had not put Shen Yu's words into his heart.

However, Shen Yu could clearly perceive that around Tang Li, the heavy mood gradually improved, even the little villain's expression was not as blank as before.

———————

Because the lawsuit and the bloody event with his company's top managers happened on the same day, one after another, the impact on Shen Yu cannot be described small.

That evening, Shen Yu's name rushed to the top of the microblogging hot search list at an unstoppable speed.

This caused Tang Li to again appear in the public eye.

Although Shen Yu's plan to adopt Tang Li has been repeatedly exposed by paparazzi before, Shen Yu and Tang Li are not part of any entertainment circles, so netizens would forget them after they saw them.

Only this time involved a child abuse case, which provoked the anger of netizens. So, the vast number of netizens tore Tang Jia and Yuan Yunping apart until they weren't even left with underpants.

Some netizens cut out Yuan Yunping's interview clips from outside the court, analyzed them word by word, and drew a conclusion that Yuan Yunping, the beast, not only acted against Tang Li, but also extended his claws to other relatives' children.

For a time, Yuan Yunping was considered the most hated man in the city.

Even Tang Jia and Yuan Yunping's company address and telephone number were found out by netizens. Many people went to the company to make trouble, pull out banners and shout words of protest.

Within three or four days, the employees of the company who could not persevere packed up their things and left.

Yuan Yunping and his wife, who were kept in prison, did not know what was going on outside until many days later. Finally, their son, who had come to visit the prison, told them about it. Tang Jia fainted on the spot after such a great blow, and Yuan Yunping hid his face and cried bitterly.

They regretted it.

If they knew Tang Li would be favored by Shen Yu, they would have never vented their grievances on him, and instead would treat the child as their ancestor.

They could have climbed up on the Shen family's thighs and gotten the chance to make great progress for little effort. In the end, they were broken under the palm of Shen Yu.

"Son..." Yuan Yunping, with tears running down, slapped the table with regret. "Why didn't you stop me when I started hitting that kid? You were just watching while standing next to me!"

Yuan Hui sat facing his father with no expression. There were two bruises on his face. He was beaten on the ground by a group of people when they went to the company to make trouble the other day.

Yuan Hui sneered: "What's the use of saying that now? Because of your foolishness and mom's stupidity, my sister and I can't even go to school."

"You blame me?!" Yuan Yunping pointed to his own nose in surprise, then stood up without saying a word, pulled his clothes open to reveal the still obvious scar on his waist. "I am also a victim, if it wasn't for that brat stabbing me with a knife, would I have beat him to death?!"

Yuan Hui did not look at the scar, and mocked: "You deserve it after what you did to your own niece."

Yuan Yunping was furious: "What did you say?"

Yuan Hui got up and smiled at Yuan Yunping without laughing. "I said you deserved it."

"You little bastard, you dare say that about your father? Just see if I won't kill you!" Yuan Yunping, furious and irrepressible, rushed up and yelled.

But who said that Yuan Hui is a vegetarian? In fact, he's even more fierce than Yuan Yunping with his fists. At this time, the father and son who loved each other in the past tumbled to the ground and beat each other close to death.

It was not until the prison guard came in and separated them in a panic that the fight ended.

As for Yuan Yunping, his son beat him up and made his nose, mouth and ears full of scarlet liquid. He lay on the ground, breathing in and out, unable to open his eyes.

When Shen Yu heard about this event from Kang Lin's mouth, he was only amused.

Although there are few descriptions of Tang Jia and Yuan Yunping in the original text, they would seem to be a model couple of love each time they appeared in the early stage. Their children also have a smooth life, successful career and a happy family.

In this way, Tang Li's loneliness and downfall become more and more contrasted.

It turned out that the seemingly unbeatable model family was so vulnerable that they didn't need anybody else to add fuel to the fire at all, they only needed each other.

Shen Yu sighed and shook his head. Then he gestured to the workers who took the elevator upstairs and asked them to move the desktop computer into the Tang Li room.

When Kang Lin saw that Shen Yu was not interested in the Tang family, he stopped talking about it and said, "Master Shen, everything you need has been purchased. If nothing else, I'll go back to the company first."

Shen Yu said, "Go ahead."

After the workers put all the items in the Tang Li room, Kang Lin took them and left.

Shen Yu pushed the wheelchair to enter Tang Li's room, the space and decoration appearing not much worse than Shen Yu's bedroom.

It was just, there weren't many personal items in the room, the bedding was still perfectly arranged, without so much as a wrinkle, and the furniture such as sofas, tables and chairs seem to be fixed in a certain position, as if they've have never been used.

This room is too cold.

There's not a bit of warmth.

When Shen Yu came in, he thought he had accidentally broken into a hotel room.

He rolled over to the desk, turned on the new computer, and downloaded several popular movies and chat software for netizens.

Maybe it's because he did a lot of work in the past few days, but even if there were piles of things waiting for him in the company, Shen Yu didn't want to move at all.

Shen Yu knew he really wasn't president material. He could only guess blindly.

Maybe he can make the Shen family more and more brilliant. Maybe he can make them to go bankrupt overnight.

If you follow the novel's original plot, in less than eight years, the Shen family will start to go downhill. The company has a lot of problems, such as project losses, insufficient working capital and continuous liabilities.

The more Shen Yu thought about it, the more numb his scalp felt.

He is not afraid of becoming poor, and he never regarded the Shen family's property as his own belongings. He is only afraid that the power of the original plot is too strong, and that even if he tries to make changes, he will eventually die in Tang Li's hands.

Shen Yu is an ordinary person. So obviously, he is very desperate for his life and afraid of death.

After thinking about this for a long time, Shen Yu's eyelids started getting heavier and heavier. He leaned back in his wheelchair, intending to rest his eyes, but instead, went straight to sleep.

The sleep was heavy.

Shen Yu worked so hard for so many days that he only got the minimal amount of rest during that time.

While in a sleepy haze, it seemed that someone had put a thin blanket on him.

Shen Yu was still a little alert during his half-dream and half-awakening period. He suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the hands of the visitor. His slightly gloomy eyes were like a blade covered in a cold light.

But the next moment, he was stunned.

The villain, who had been pulled over and currently was leaning over his wheelchair, used a little effort to avoid crushing his disabled legs.

The villain was still looking at Shen Yu with a thin blanket in his hand, as if frightened by his sudden action and fierce eyes.

[1] 气得吐血, meaning, "to vomit blood from anger".

Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterCh.15 – What to Call

Shen Yu hadn't realized that the person in front of him just now was Tang Li. He was stunned. The sleepiness that lingered in his mind cleared up instantly. He laughed and asked, "Were you scared?"

"Yes, a little bit." Tang Li looked down at Shen Yu and dropped the blanket in his hand.

In fact, Shen Yu was frightened by Tang Li's action, and did not intend to sleep any more. However, he did not refuse the thin blanket that the villain had specially brought over for him. He touched the villain's head with a smile and said, "You came back early today."

Recently, Shen Yu was busy dealing with the affairs of the company, so he asked Uncle Zhang to take Tang Li to and from school instead of him.

Generally, Uncle Zhang and Tang Li will arrive home around six o'clock, but today they were nearly half an hour ahead of schedule.

Tang Li nodded and said, "Dr. Liu is coming by later, so housekeeper Zhang picked me up from school early today."

After thinking about it, Shen Yu suddenly recalled that today is the last time Dr. Liu was coming over to check on Tang Li.

After careful medical care and recuperation during this period, Tang Li, who was as thin as a baby monkey, grew fuller and taller. The bruises and scars on his body had already healed, and finally he had the normal appearance of a 10-year-old child.

It was then that Shen Yu found out something important...

This villain is in no way ordinary looking.

The skin is fair and white, the jawline is sharp, the thin lips are pale pink like cherry blossoms, and the beautiful Phoenix eyes shine like stars.

And the little villain's legs are just. too. long!

Previously, he wore loose clothes that were not so obvious. But now, he mostly wore his school uniform with neatly cut hair, white shirts with a dark blue knitted vest outside, and straight black trousers underneath.

How could people not like him?

No wonder there are so many girls in the original novel who are fascinated by Tang Li and even willing to go through fire for him.

Even Shen Yu, another high-level man, has to admit that the villain seemed to have been carefully sculpted by an artist.

Unfortunately, the female lead can't seem to appreciate Tang Li's face, instead she is devoted to the male lead.

Thinking of the fate of the little villain, Shen Yu couldn't help feeling bad about it. It's like the little villain he was putting so much effort into raising was being treated as inferior goods.

With a sigh, Shen Yu threw away all those confusing ideas in his mind and happily introduced several new computers and the latest smart phone to Tang Li.

As soon as Shen Yu finished, he heard a knock on the door.

He looked up.

Uncle Zhang stood in front of the half-open door and said, "Sir, Dr. Liu is here."

Tang Li did not speak, but turned his head to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu gently pinched the soft cheeks of the little villain and laughed, "Go ahead."

Tang Li nodded and looked at Shen Yu with some reluctance. He stared at Shen Yu for five seconds, then silently took off his schoolbag, put it on the desk with his mobile phone, and left the bedroom with Uncle Zhang.

Shen Yu turned off the computer and was ready to go back to his study to continue his business.

As he left, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the pink paper ball tucked inside Tang Li's schoolbag.

Shen Yu was stunned and thought it was an advertisement, so he reached in and pulled out the paper ball.

Soon, however, Shen Yu found something wrong.

This paper is not like an advertisement listing at all. It was an envelope that emits a light perfume scent.

By this time, if Shen Yu couldn't guess what the paper ball was, then it could be said that his IQ wasn't very high.

He put the paper ball on the table, spread it out and rubbed it flat.

It was a pink envelope.

On it, beautiful handwriting had been used to write three words "To Tang Li".

Shen Yu: "..."

At this moment, his mind fell into chaos.

Are children so precocious nowadays? The kid was only in elementary school and he was already getting love letters!

Shen Yu remembers that when he was Tang Li's age, he was still playing games with his friends. In their eyes, there was no difference between men and women at all, let alone writing love letters to the opposite sex to express such an emotion as love.

Although Shen Yu, as a parent, does not object to Tang Li's puppy love, but to be in love in elementary school... It's too early.

Shen Yu thought twice, but decided to stay in the bedroom and wait for Tang Li to come back. It seemed that it was necessary for him to give the little villain an education on these matters.

It took about half an hour for Tang Li to return.

Seeing Shen Yu still sitting at his desk waiting for him, the little villain's eyes suddenly lit up and he rushed to Shen Yu with his two slender legs.

As the villain was about to speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the pink envelope in Shen Yu's hand.

The next second, Tang Li suddenly stiffed, and the joy that had overflowed on his face disappeared as his expression sank.

Shen Yu noticed the change of Tang Li and thought that the little villain didn't like people touching his things, so he quickly put the envelope back on the table.

"Sorry, I thought it was an advertisement stuffed into your schoolbag before I took it out. I didn't intentionally peep at your stuff." Shen Yu explained.

Fortunately, he did not open the envelope when he had it in his hands or he might have really angered the little villain. Shen Yu secretly thought.

Tang Li clenched his jaw with an ugly face. He stood there for a moment, then without saying a word, picked up the envelope.

Just when Shen Yu thought that Tang Li would put the envelope in a drawer or his schoolbag, he saw Tang Li stretch out his hands and tear it to pieces. Even the love letter inside the envelope that had not yet been seen, was also turned into fragments and thrown into the trash can.

Shen Yu was shocked by Tang Li's sudden action. He had no idea that Tang Li would react so fiercely.

For a while, even the preaching words that had been previously brewing in Shen Yu's heart became abruptly stuck in the throat so that he could not spit out a single one.

Tang Li neatly packed up the garbage bag and carried it out to a servant. When he came back, he saw Shen Yu sitting stiff in a wheelchair. His expression was somewhat complicated, and his eyes looked at him with amazement.

When Tang Li approached, Shen Yu began to say, "I'm sorry, I..."

Before he finished, he was interrupted by Tang Li's low voice: "I didn't know she put that thing in my schoolbag."

Shen Yu paused for a while and hesitated before asking, "Who was it?

"A middle school girl, I forgot her name." Tang Li stood upright, his head drooping, and he dared not look directly at Shen Yu's eyes. "She often came to see me from the junior high school. I refused many times. She didn't listen to me, and she always writes me those strange letters."

The little villain's mood was low and his voice was dull. He stood in front of Shen Yu in a dejected and well-behaved manner, in sharp contrast to the violent appearance he had when he tore the love letter.

In this way, it seems pitiful.

Like a puppy reprimanded by its owner, with his ears hanging down and his face full of endless grievances.

After some time, this pitiful "puppy" said, "Shen Yu, don't misunderstand me."

Finally, Shen Yu's senses return, it turned out that Tang Li was not angry because of his actions, but angry that girl from the junior high school secretly put a love letter into his schoolbag.

After realizing this, Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time was amused that he had not even started to educate this little villain, but the child himself was already grieving.

"I didn't misunderstand you." Shen Yu said, "It can be seen from the crumpled state of the letter that someone deliberately put it in while you were not paying attention."

Tang Li's tight brows slowly relaxed: "Em."

"And." Shen Yu changed the subject and raised his chin, pretending to be angry. "Who taught you to call my name directly? Don't you think it's rude to do that?"

Tang Li frowned again: "What should I call you then?"

Hearing this, Shen Yu reflexively wants Tang Li to call him father. Maybe with this superficial father-son relationship, the possibility of Tang Li's dreadful actions towards him will be less likely in the future.

Unfortunately, Shen Yu has a Thieves' heart but not a Thieves' courage [1] . Even though the villain is young, Shen Yu dared not to ride on the back of this future monster king [2] .

After thinking about it, Shen Yu said, "Call me brother."

Tang Li looked at Shen Yu in silence, with an indifferent expression on his face.

Eventually, Shen Yu felt he would die from the awkward silence, and continued desperately, "You could call me uncle, although I don't know if I'd be an uncle at only twenty-three years old..."

Tang Li continued to play dumb.

Shen Yu, helpless, pondered for a while and tentatively asked, "What do you want to call me?"

Tang Li answered quickly, "Shen Yu."

"..." Shen Yu endured and endured, forcefully enduring the impulse to beat some sense into the child, he struggled for half a day, and finally made a difficult compromise, "Well, as long as you are happy..."

Tang Li laughed. "Okay, Shen Yu."

Shen Yu: "..."

——————————

Fortunately, Shen Yu is someone that can self-comfort.

It's not important what this petty villain calls him, what's important is to gradually change the character of the petty villain and bring the sick, violent and aggressive villain onto the healthy, honest and kind road.

Now it can be seen that Tang Li has begun to care about his opinion, which is a good starting point.

Time flies quickly, and finally, it's Saturday.

As Elder Shen was worried about being stood up by Shen Yu, he called Shen Yu several times early in the morning and told him to remember that he was expected at dinner tonight.

Finally, Elder Shen emphasized that if Shen Yu came down with a sudden illness and could not show up, as he had done several times before, then this grandfather would take the girl directly to the company to find him.

Shen Yu: "..."

He was really afraid of this stubborn old man.

It's just a meal together. It's not necessary to get married. He will simply have to deal with the old man's strategies as they come [3] .

After making up his mind, Shen Yu naturally decided to take the little villains with him.

In the afternoon, Shen Yu changed into a slightly more formal suit and went to Tang Li's school with Uncle Zhang.

When they arrived at the school, a line of luxury cars had been parked on the curb outside to pick up the students. After waiting for less than five minutes, the security guards opened the gate and soon students came out one after another.

The students were all wearing uniforms of the same color and style, so it was difficult to find a specific person.

Shen Yu wanted to take out his mobile phone and call Tang Li, when suddenly, he found a familiar figure in the crowd.

Tang Li, who was also wearing the school's designated uniform, was walking expressionless amongst the other students. His fair skin and beautiful face made Shen Yu find him in the crowd at a glance. At this time, Tang Li was accompanied by a girl who looked like a flower fairy.

The little girl intentionally approached Tang Li, tilted her head and said something to Tang Li with a smile on her face.

However, Tang Li did not seem to hear the little girl's words. There wasn't even the slightest change in his indifferent eyes. He was simply absorbed with moving towards the gate.

"Chestnut." Shen Yu called out.

His voice was not very loud, but it was instantly caught by Tang Li.

Tang Li followed the voice and finally looked at Shen Yu, warmth radiating from his previously indifferent eyes. The little villain was stunned. Then he burst into a brilliant smile. He immediately left the little girl behind him and squeezed between the students until he arrived in front of the car.

"Shen Yu!" Tang Li shouted, his beautiful Phoenix eyes seemed to shine brightly.

[1] meaning he has the desire to steal something (in this case Tang Li's "father" position), but not the courage to actually act.

[2] meaning he doesn't have the courage to try to take advantage of, or control, something that could easily harm him.

[3] originally 兵来将挡，水来土掩, translated as "Soldiers to the enemy, water to soil". This is an idiom meaning adopt different methods of approach depending on the specific circumstances.

Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterCh.16 – Big Brother

Uncle Zhang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, frowned unconsciously when he heard Tang Li directly calling Shen Yu's name.

How could that child call his young master by his first name?

Not to mention that this kind of behavior itself is very offensive, if those paparazzi or some passers-by heard it, he was afraid that they will print a false news article about the relationship between young master Shen and his family.

After all, in the eyes of the public, Tang Li is a spy sent over by Elder Shen to monitor Shen Yu.

Uncle Zhang's face darkened. He said quietly, "Young Master."

Shen Yu, sitting in the back, saw Uncle Zhang's mood change. He immediately guessed what Uncle Zhang was going to say next. He rushed ahead of Uncle Zhang and said to Tang Li with crossed eyebrows, "Didn't I tell you before? Don't shout my name in public!"

Although Shen Yu had the appearance of gnashing his teeth when he spoke, Uncle Zhang could feel that Shen Yu was not really angry, but instead was either deliberately or unconsciously making excuses for Tang Li.

The unspoken implication in Shen Yu's words is that Tang Li's act of calling his name has already been approved by him.

After realizing this, Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment. Then he looked up into the rear-view mirror and saw that Shen Yu was still acting angry with Tang Li.

He shook his head helplessly and swallowed all his unspoken grievances.

In fact, he did not agree with Shen Yu's way of raising children. Too much spoiling would only harm the child, and the parent, in the long run.

Unfortunately, as a housekeeper with a fixed salary, Uncle Zhang knows he is not qualified to interfere in the private affairs of his young master. After hesitating repeatedly, he still chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

It's just...

He didn't know why, but Uncle Zhang always felt that Shen Yu is too good to Tang Li. Other people didn't treat their own children as good as the young master treated Tang Li.

Even if Shen Yu did not turn his head to see Uncle Zhang, he could easily detect the suspicious eyes of the other party. He was somewhat guilty, but pretended to calmly open the car door and waved to Tang Li, "What are you still stunned about? Quickly, get in."

The little villain who had been scolded was not angry at all, but instead looked at Shen Yu directly with both eyes.

The little villain's eyes are full of light, so serious, so focused, as if the whole world could not enter his eyes, only Shen Yu.

Shen Yu felt awkward under Tang Li's unavoidable gaze. In a moment, his nerves seemed to twist into knots. He could not tell what his actual mood was at that time.

But he knows that he doesn't like to be looked at like that by Tang Li.

Most people would hate being stared at as if they were prey.

Shen Yu looked away from Tang Li's eyes as the little villain got in the car obediently and was ready to close the door.

At that time, a girl suddenly crowded out of the group of students, panting, she ran over and put her hand on the car door, which prevented Shen Yu from closing the door.

When Shen Yu looked closely, he realized that this was the little girl who had been speaking to Tang Li when he came out of school just now.

If he had guessed correctly, this little girl should be a middle school girl who often wrote love letters to Tang Li. She was much more elegant than Shen Yu imagined. She had big eyes, a small mouth, and looked like a water spirit.

"Tang Li, it's mean for you to just leave without telling me." The little girl stood in front of the car door with a big grin and complained to Tang Li, who was sitting in the car.

Tang Li sat in the seat next to Shen Yu's wheelchair, frowning impatiently and answered coldly, "Who are you? Why should I tell you when I'm leaving?

"Why are you doing this?" The little girl jumped up in anger at Tang Li's indifferent attitude, her face was red, and she said in a charming voice, "I like you so much, yet you still treat me like this. You are like a cold-blooded animal!"

Tang Li sneered, and his eyes looked like they were covered in a layer of ice: "Do you think your opinion matters to me?"

"You..." The little girl's eyes turned red as she cried out with grievance.

Shen Yu had no interest in puppy love, so when he saw that the little villain was not interested in this puppy love game, he did not want to interfere. However, the little girl kept wiping her tears in front of the car door, and he could not push the little girl away.

After thinking about it, Shen Yu handed over a handkerchief.

The little girl caught a glimpse of Shen Yu's slender, beautiful hand through the misty afterlight of her tears. Suddenly, she stopped crying, and her eyes followed the hand up to Shen Yu's face.

Shen Yu smiled at her. "It's not good to see girls crying too much."

The little girl stared at Shen Yu for a long time. Her cheeks, stained with tears, turned red. She reached for the handkerchief Shen Yu handed over and said, "Thank you, big brother."

Shen Yu replied, "Of course, it's no problem at all."

Now the little girl was no longer sad because of Tang Li's words. She looked at Shen Yu in surprise and shyness. She quickly wiped the tears off her face with the handkerchief. Then she bit her lip and bravely said, "Big brother, you look so beautiful. My name is Lei Yumeng. What's your name?"

Shen Yu: "..."

He was surprised and amused by the change of attitude from the little girl.

What a child!

Who knew love can come and go so quickly?

The stunned Shen Yu was about to say his name when Tang Li, who was still sitting next to him, suddenly stood up. He grabbed the girl's arm with an expressionless face, pulled her aside, and slammed the door shut, leaving Shen Yu alone in the backseat.

The noise was cut off from the outside, and the car was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

Finally Tang Li came back to the car and asked Uncle Zhang, "Can we go now?"

Uncle Zhang was silent, glancing at the rear-view mirror, looking at the little girl knocking on the car door outside, and then at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu looked at Uncle Zhang and paused. He had no further reason to speak to the little girl outside. He nodded and said, "Let's go."

As soon as the words came out, the tense look in Tang Li's eyes gradually relaxed. The expression on his face was blank. His gaze seemed distant, and his eyes were so deep that nobody could tell what he was thinking.

Unfortunately, Shen Yu did not notice this.

—————————–

Elder Shen lives in an upscale district in the city.

The land price and scenery here are not as good as those of Shen Yu's suburban villa, but people are not very fond of the cold when they are old, and the atmosphere here is lively, the traffic is convenient, and the other old residents can mingle in the square.

Who can imagine that Elder Shen, who was a business tyrant more than a decade ago, had now integrated into an ordinary person's life, playing chess, walking around and mingling in the square every day, and then calling Shen Yu to urge him to give this grandpa a great-grandson. It was truly a life of leisure.

When Uncle Zhang drove to the parking lot of the Elder Shen's residence, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Shen Yu got out of the car and tidied up his own clothes and then tidied Tang Li's. Then he told Uncle Zhang to go out and get himself something for dinner and to use Shen Yu's personal credit card to pay. Afterwards, he could pick them up when called.

Uncle Zhang responded affirmatively.

Shen Yu was a little nervous when he took the elevator upstairs. He gently pinched Tang Li's hand.

Tang Li looked up at him.

"We're having dinner here tonight. If Grandpa Shen or anyone else tells you anything, don't pay attention to it." Shen Yu looked at Tang Li's bright eyes and said with a light smile, "We'll go home after dinner."

Tang Li wrinkled his face and nodded very seriously.

Shen Yu touched Tang Li's head and said, "My Chestnut is really good."

Tang Li squinted, like a pet enjoying his master's touch. Subconsciously, he raised his face and rubbed Shen Yu's palm. After he asked, "Do I need to pretend to be sick?"

Shen Yu was stunned, "Hmm?"

He did not understand what Tang Li meant.

Tang Li said, "If you don't like to stay there, I can pretend to be ill later so that you can find an excuse to leave early."

Shen Yu: "... It's all right."

Despite the light expression and attitude of Shen Yu, in his heart, he was shocked.

He admitted that the main reason why he brought Tang Li was that he could use Tang Li's discomfort as an excuse to get away from the dinner arranged by Elder Shen as soon as possible, but he never told Tang Li this idea.

After all, Tang Li is so small that he might not necessarily understand what Shen Yu meant.

Unexpectedly, Tang Li didn't need his explanation at all. Shen Yu's purpose was analyzed from his words and deeds.

At the same time, Shen Yu's eyes that were looking at Tang Li, held mixed feelings – the smart and precocious little villain made him feel intimidated.

Shen Yu took the hand of the little villain and found Elder Shen's house with a familiar ease. The servant who came to open the door belonged to Elder Shen's house.

Although Elder Shen is not critical of this urban living environment, he would never allow himself to feel any unneeded discomfort in life. As a result, there are more than ten servants and cooks who directly worked for him.

"Mr. Shen is here." The servant who opened the door laughed and said, "Come in quickly. Elder Shen has been talking for a long time. Miss Yang is here too."

Shen Yu grinned bitterly when he heard Miss Yang's name.

He led Tang Li to the living room, and saw Elder Shen sitting on the sofa, talking up a storm and staring at him. Beside him, sat a beautiful girl with long black hair, looking like a little jasper spirit.

Without waiting for Shen Yu to speak, Elder Shen jumped up angrily and rebuked him with an tone of exaggerated hatred: "Do you know what time it is, boy? It's ten past seven! You let me wait here with Little Yang. You must be really mad at me!"

Shen Yu knows that Elder Shen is an irritable character, so he was not annoyed after being scolded. He turns his head to the beautiful girl and smiles politely. "Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the journey here."

The girl did not expect Shen Yu's first sentence after he entered the door to be directed at her, suddenly a little flustered the girl quickly stood up, and with red cheeks, both flattered and shocked, she said: "Oh, it's no problem at all, I have also just arrived."

Shen Yu nodded calmly: "That's good."

"What's good?! You've got a pretty girl waiting for you, so you're dare to say it's good?!"

When Master Shen finished his angry speech, he suddenly saw Tang Li standing beside Shen Yu, expressionless. In a flash, all the fire disappeared completely and Elder Shen's whole face bloomed with joy.

"Ah, Chestnut! Come over here. Are they still wearing school uniforms nowadays? Is it hard to study? Have you adapted to the new environment?"

"The new school is very good. Thank you, Grandpa Shen."

"Chestnut is so sweet. I wish I had a great-grandson who is as obedient and sensible as Chestnut." Elder Shen laughed, glancing at Shen Yu, who pretended to be deaf and dumb, while reaching out to touch Tang Li's head.

Elder Shen's hand had not yet touched Tang Li's hair, when suddenly the little villain backed away.

"Grandpa Shen." Tang Li said solemnly, "The teacher said that a man's head cannot be touched casually."

Elder Shen was stunned, and then he was laughed in amusement: "Good, no one can touch the head of our mighty Chestnut."

Before long, the servant announced that dinner was ready.

The group headed to the dining room. The table was already full of delicious food. There were no special delicacies. Instead, they were all home-cooked dishes.

Elder Shen's eyes shifted between Shen Yu and the girl. Suddenly, he thought of something good. He turned to Tang Li and spoke in a kind tone, "Chestnut, this is the first time Grandpa Shen has gotten to see you. Come and sit with Grandpa Shen. Grandpa Shen will tell you a story."

As he said this, Elder Shen grabbed Tang Li's hand and winked at Shen Yu.

If Elder Shen and Tang Li sat on the same side, then Shen Yu can only sit on the opposite side with the girl.

Shen Yu felt helpless. Although he rejected the blind date, he could not help giving the girl some face. He sighed and manipulated the wheelchair to the opposite side of the table and made a gesture of invitation to the girl.

"Thank you." The girl lowered her head and was too shy to look directly into Shen Yu's eyes. She was just about to sit down when suddenly, a black shadow flashed across her eyes.

The girl paused for a moment. When she finally responded, she found that the chair next to Shen Yu was already occupied by a cold-looking boy dressed in his school uniform.

Tang Li sniffed, looked up pitifully at Shen Yu, and said in a childish tone that Shen Yu had never heard before: "Big brother, I want to sit with you."

Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterCh.17 – Blind Date

It was natural for Shen Yu to want to avoid that girl, but he suddenly flinched a little when he caught site of the anxious and angry eyes of Elder Shen.

Although Elder Shen has now retired and almost no longer manages the affairs of the Shen family and company, his prestige still exists and he is the only living relative of the original Shen Yu.

Shen Yu dared not challenge the Elder's bottom line too many times.

If one day, his identity as an outsider is exposed, it is most likely that the first person to recognize that he is a fraud is Elder Shen.

Shen Yu hesitated for a moment before trying to compromise with the little villain. He gently rubbed Tang Li's hair and said, "Chestnut, Grandpa Shen wants to talk to you. Would you like to sit next to Grandpa Shen?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Shen, who was sitting on the opposite side, immediately smiled and waved to Tang Li, "Chestnut, come over here. Grandpa Shen wants to sit with you."

Unfortunately, Tang Li did not move, as if he hadn't heard Elder Shen's enthusiastic call.

It was not until Elder Shen was dry-mouthed and the girl standing by the edge of the table was embarrassed that the little villain shook his head reluctantly while keeping his eyes fixed on Shen Yu's face.

"Big brother, I want to sit with you." The gentle and childish pleading was very painful to listen to.

In his heart, Shen Yu was surprised at the exquisite acting skills of the villain. However, on the surface he was helpless against the behavior of the villain. He sighed helplessly and turned to look at the girl.

The girl thought that Tang Li would sit obediently with Elder Shen, so she didn't expect that the child's temper would be so stubborn and that he would stick to Shen Yu.

Looking at the current situation, she can no longer take the initiative and continue to occupy Shen Yu's side, the girl looked down with a flashed of loss in her eyes and tried to squeeze out a smile: "It's all right, I'll sit with Grandpa Shen."

As she spoke, the girl walked over quickly, blushed and sat down.

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and steered his wheelchair to the empty seat next to Tang Li.

Although Elder Shen's plan to encourage Shen Yu to sit with the girl failed, he was not discouraged at all. During the meal, he kept throwing out topics to Shen Yu and the girl and mentioning interesting things that happened when Shen Yu was a child.

The girl seemed to like Shen Yu very much. When she heard Elder Shen's old stories about Shen Yu, her eyes were bright, and laughter spilled from her mouth.

For a while, the dining room was filled with boisterous laughter from Elder Shen and the girl.

On the opposite side of the table, a big one and a small one sat quietly.

Shen Yu pretended not to hear the conversation. He buried his head and ate as quietly as a mouse.

Tang Li looked cold. He sat with a bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and the plate in front of him was full of the dishes Shen Yu had given him. However, he did not make a single move, frowning slightly, his eyes were frosty, and nobody could tell what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Shen Yu put down his chopsticks and reached over to pinch Tang Li's face.

Tang Li woke from his haze and suddenly turned his head towards Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was frightened by Tang Li's sudden action. The hand holding the little villain's face was still hanging stiffly in mid-air. He was stunned. When he finally regained his senses, he laughed in a low voice. "If you don't eat more, you'll never grow tall."

After that, Shen Yu took back his hand and grabbed a piece of meat from its platter, finally putting it on a small plate in front of Tang Li.

"Eat." Shen Yu likes to squint when he laughs. The beautiful peach blossom eyes bend into the shape of crescent moons. These moons are always accompanied by two beautiful dimples on his white cheeks.

The two dimples seemed to be filled with honey they looked so sweet.

Tang Li stared at Shen Yu, as if the air around him was mixed with the sweetness of honey and that sweetness was soaking into his heart.

Again, he felt that they were opposites. One shadow and one light.

Mr. Shen happened to say that when Shen Yu was in primary school, he liked a little girl in the same class. He also promised that he would try hard to make money in the future and marry the little girl when they got older. How could he know that the little girl was frightened by his words and started crying on the spot?

Hearing this, the girl laughed so hard she couldn't stand up.

But Elder Shen paused for a moment and gradually looked into the girl's eyes, his gaze becoming more meaningful. He said, "Little Yang, don't you remember all these things I mentioned?"

"Ah?" The girl stopped laughing and shook her head blankly. "What do you mean?"

Elder Shen sighed helplessly: "... That little girl I just mentioned is you."

The girl was stunned.

Elder Shen continued, "Aren't you and Little Yu primary school classmates? At that time, Little Yu liked you quite a lot. He often followed you around. Neither I nor his father could call him back.

After Elder Shen's reminder, the girl quickly recalled something and instantly her face lite up bright red.

"I... I don't remember much..." The girl whispered that she quickly glanced at Shen Yu. She found that Shen Yu's attention was focused on the little boy. He wasn't even listening to what they were saying.

Instantly, like a basin of cold water pouring over her, the girl's shy heart quickly cooled down.

The girl clenched her chopsticks, bit her lip, and summoned up courage to throw the topic to Shen Yu, who was serving Chestnut vegetables. "Mr. Shen, do you remember these things?"

Shen Yu, who had been ignoring the pair, raised his head. He turned to the girl looking slightly ashamed and said in embarrassment. "Sorry, I didn't catch what you were talking about just now."

Girl: "..."

Elder Shen was so angry that he slapped the table. "I asked you to come over for dinner, but did you really eat honestly!? Why don't you listen to me honestly when I'm trying to help you get married?"

Shen Yu immediately apologized, "I'm sorry."

Elder Shen was so angry that his eyes were burning even in front of outsiders. Thankfully, he didn't swear at Shen Yu as usual.

The girl was not a fool, after a meal together she could mostly understand Shen Yu's intentions towards her.

But Shen Yu met her criteria for spouse selection in all respects: he was tall and slender, handsome, capable, well-off, and had no complicated relationships with other women.

The one drawback is that he was temporarily unable to walk after the accident.

However, Elder Shen said that Shen Yu had recently been actively carrying out rehabilitation exercises, and that sooner or later he would be able to walk again.

After he regains his ability to walk, Shen Yu will be more popular than he is now. It's not exaggerated to say that her rivals will stretch from here to France, so before that, she wants to seize the opportunity.

Get Shen Yu!

The girl's face was slightly pale. She looked at Shen Yu's clear and beautiful face with complicated eyes and a ripple in her heart.

She opened her lips and was about to speak, but she was interrupted by the little boy next to Shen Yu.

"Big brother..." Tang Li's lips were white, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his little hands were firmly grasping Shen Yu's arm. It looked painful. "My stomach hurts..."

"Chestnut! What's wrong with you?!" Shen Yu had no idea that Tang Li, who had been fine the previous second, would suddenly become like this. Suddenly, he panicked. He touched the forehead of Tang Li and said, "No fever. Did you eat the wrong thing?"

Elder Shen and the girl quickly got up from the dining table. The girl stood still while Elder Shen hurried to check the situation of Tang Li.

"Maybe it's something he ate." Elder Shen was distressed.

Shen Yu did not know if there was a problem with the food tonight, but now it was not the time to investigate the cause. He took a deep breath and tried to keep calm. Then he took out his mobile phone and dialed Uncle Zhang's telephone.

Uncle Zhang finished his meal in a nearby restaurant and was ready to browse around. When he got the call, he said he would come back immediately.

Shen Yu, with a calm face, sat down with Tang Li in his lap and asked the servant to bring painkillers and warm water.

At this time, Tang Li's forehead has been soaked with a thin layer of sweat, his lips went from pale pink to dark green, the small villain's beautiful Phoenix eyes closed, long curled eyelashes slightly trembling.

It looks pitiful.

Shen Yu felt his nerves tightening.

"Chestnut, are you okay?" Shen Yu wrapped the thin blanket, that was handed to him by the servant, around Tang Li, and held the little villain tightly in his arms. In spite of the cold sweat on the little villain's head, Shen Yu kissed his forehead and said, "I'll take you to the hospital, can you bear it a little longer?"

Tang Li was in so much pain that he could not hear anything, and his body started trembling.

Without a word, the villain buried his head in Shen Yu's arms, and held his hands tightly around Shen Yu's waist, as if he wished to merge with Shen Yu.

At this moment, Elder Shen put the affair of blind date to the back of his mind and followed Shen Yu's wheelchair step by step. He spoke in a guilty voice, "Little Yu, let me go with you. I'm worried about Chestnut."

Hearing Eleder Shen's voice, Shen Yu remembered that he had been sticking to Tang Li in order to appease him and had completely forgotten Elder Shen.

"That's all right, Grandpa. I'll take Chestnut." Shen Yu pushed the wheelchair to the door with one hand while holding Tang Li in his arms with the other. He smiled and comforting Elder Shen said, "I'll call you later with news."

After all, there was something wrong with his family's child. Elder Shen's attitude was no longer as brutal as before. After Shen Yu spoke, he sighed and agreed, "Remember to call."

After taking Shen Yu and Tang Li downstairs by elevator, Elder Shen returned home in despair.

Then he saw the girl sitting tightly on the sofa in the living room waiting.

"Grandpa Shen." The girl got up and called out.

"Little Yang, I'm really sorry to have you run over for nothing today. I didn't expect such an accident to happen." Mr. Shen said in a somewhat low voice.

"Grandpa, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault." Girls laughed, but despite laughing she felt bitter inside. She didn't know if it is her illusion, but the little boy seems to be very hostile to her.

The little boy even suddenly fell ill...

There's also a weird lingering feeling.

It felt like this incident was deliberately directed at her.

Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterCh.18 – Lie

Shen Yu was panicked.

As he entered the elevator, his hand, trembling, reached out to press the ground floor button.

It was the first time in half a year that Shen Yu experienced such a strong impulse. He wished he could directly pick up Tang Li, go down the stairs, and run to the hospital.

Unfortunately, he couldn't.

His handicapped legs only allowed him to sit in a wheelchair, anxiously hugging Tang Li, and moving to Uncle Zhang's parking place at an unpleasant speed.

Fortunately, Uncle Zhang moved fast enough to find Shen Yu in a short time.

Uncle Zhang looked at the Tang Li, who had his whole head buried deep in Shen Yu's clothes. After half a second's amazement, he quickly rushed to Shen Yu's side, ready to push Shen Yu's wheelchair.

"Wait!" Shen Yu shouted, "Uncle Zhang, take Chestnut to the car first."

Uncle Zhang did not say anything. He stooped and stretched out his hands, trying to take Tang Li out of Shen Yu's arms. But the next moment, he saw Tang Li hugging Shen Yu's waist tighter and burying his head into Shen Yu's chest.

"Don't want..."

Tang Li's voice is soft and waxy. It sounds pitiful, weak and helpless.

Shen Yu frowned, a little angry and helpless. He patted Tang Li on the back and said in a warm voice, "Chestnut be obedient, get in the car with Uncle Zhang first. I'll be there in a moment. Let's go to the hospital and have a look."

Who knows why, but when he said that, Tang Li became more resistant.

"I don't want to!"

"Tang Li." Shen Yu shouted out the full name of the little villain in anger, but he did not give in to his anger. Instead, he rubbed the little villain's unkempt hair with a little effort and said, "Be obedient."

"I don't want to be obedient." Tang Li said in a solemn muffled voice.

Shen Yu: "..."

He looked up at Uncle Zhang standing in front of him, only to see that Uncle Zhang also wore a helpless expression.

Shen Yu was raising a child for the first time in his life. He really didn't know what to do when the child was acting up.

His mind was stirring into a slurry, so for couple seconds, he could only sit in stalemate with the villain. He had no choice but to let Uncle Zhang push his wheelchair to the parking space.

Feeling Shen Yu's compromise, the tense Tang Li gradually relaxed in Shen Yu's arms and hung two small hands around Shen Yu's neck.

After a while, the little villain's head slowly turned up...

Soon, it arched, landing in the socket of Shen Yu's neck. The warm air from Tang Li's breathing sprinkled on Shen Yu's skin, making it feel unusually hot.

Shen Yu shrank his neck in subconsciously.

He raised his hand to pull off the little octopus clinging to his body, but when his hand touched the back of Tang Li, which was still shaking a little, he stilled.

Ah...

Forget it...

The boy seldom gets sick, so what if he acts spoiled.

Shen Yu had some self-abandoning thoughts.

Uncle Zhang pushed Shen Yu's wheelchair to the front of the car and stopped. Then he opened the back door and pulled out the ramp tools. He easily pushed Shen Yu into the car with Tang Li in his arms.

"Go to the nearest hospital." Shen Yu ordered.

"Understood." Uncle Zhang started the car.

Fortunately, the nearest hospital is less than 20 minutes away from here. After entering the destination in the navigation, Uncle Zhang drove away from the underground parking lot of the community.

On the way, Shen Yu kept quietly comforting Tang Li, who was still wrapped in his arms. At last, he felt that Tang Li's body was no longer trembling like before.

At the moment, however, the little villain still tightly clung to Shen Yu's neck with his small hands, without the slightest intention of letting go.

Now the weather is getting colder and so they are both wearing thick clothes. After clinging together like this, Shen Yu felt a thin layer of sweat covering his chest and neck. The condition of Tang Li is similar. Sweat dampened the hair that covered his temples.

Shen Yu held Tang Li's back with one hand, then extended the other hand, and somewhat struggled to pull out a tissue paper from the small table next to him.

"Chestnut." Shen Yu said, "Turn your face around."

Tang Li hesitated for a while before he reluctantly raised his head and looked pitifully at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu lifted his lips and smiled, wiping the sweat off Tang Li's face with the tissue.

During this period, Tang Li raised his head obediently and allowed Shen Yu's fingertips to caress his face. The bright obsidian like eyes seemed to carry an unusual mood. He looked directly at Shen Yu, as if he was trying to engrave Shen Yu's appearance in his heart.

Originally, Shen Yu was worried about Tang Li. However, he felt a little weird after remembering something.

He knows that Tang Li's physical health has always been very good, even after going to school, the little villain can maintain the frequency of two private lessons every weekend.

The retired Olympic coach was strict and challenged Tang Li's physical limit in almost every class. More than once, he told Shen Yu that Tang Li's strength was outstanding enough to be compared to an full grown adult man.

How could such a healthy child suddenly fall ill just when the girl was ready to talk to Shen Yu?

The more Shen Yu thought about it, the stranger he felt, and suddenly, he recalled what Tang Li had said to him in the elevator. Everything became clear in an instant.

"There's no outsiders here, so don't pretend." Shen Yu casually threw the used tissue paper on the small table, pinched Tang Li's face. With some complaints in his heart and small amount of blame in his voice Shen Yu said, "Letting me worry so much, does your little conscience not hurt?"

After that, Shen Yu wanted to rip the little octopus off his body.

Since the villain has no problems, he should stop using Shen Yu as his personal seat.

However, as soon as he grabbed Tang Li's arm, he was startled by the sudden whitening face of Tang Li.

Before Shen Yu could respond, Tang Li, who was still in his arms, had squeezed his head back into Shen Yu's neck and spoke with great pain, "My stomach hurts, I didn't pretend."

Shen Yu couldn't help but doubt, "Really?"

Tang Li continued to hug Shen Yu's neck and nodded hard after a long silence.

Although Shen Yu did not fully believe Tang Li's words in his heart, after some consideration, he chose not to say anything.

When he arrived at the hospital, Tang Li was still unwilling to be taken off by Uncle Zhang. Before Uncle Zhang's hand touched him, he saw the little villain shaking his head vigorously and drilling further into Shen Yu's bosom.

Uncle Zhang helplessly looked at Shen Yu: "Sir..."

"I'll hold him." Shen Yu said with a bitter laugh, "You'll have to work hard. Since the wheelchair has two people, the speed will decrease."

Uncle Zhang understood what Shen Yu meant and pushed his wheelchair to the hospital.

An hour later, the doctor gave Tang Li a very comprehensive physical examination but did not find any problems. Even Shen Yu thought that food poisoning was just a false alarm.

After hearing what the doctor said, Shen Yu was completely relieved.

Shen Yu was pushed back to the door of Tang Li's room by Uncle Zhang. He gestured to Uncle Zhang, indicating that Uncle Zhang should wait outside, and then he alone controlled the wheelchair to enter the room.

In the luxurious single room, Tang Li lay quietly in bed.

The villain was still wearing his school uniform, which was now slightly disheveled, and his back was facing Shen Yu. He seemed to be asleep. Even if Shen Yu did not deliberately dampen the sound when he opened the door, Tang Li did not awaken.

Shen Yu rolled to the hospital bed and gently looked at Tang Li's back.

The ward was quiet enough to hear the needle drop so even breathing of the villain sounded excessively loud.

Shen Yu called out, "Chestnut."

There was no movement on the other side.

Shen Yu said again, "Tang Li."

As if the other party could not hear his voice, the little villain remained motionless.

Shen Yu rubbed his forehead, took a deep breath, and rolled the wheelchair around the hospital bed so that he was directly facing Tang Li.

Tang Li buried half of his face in the quilt, showing only his small straight nose and his thick long eyelashes casting a faint shadow over tightly closed eyes. At first glance, he looked like a porcelain doll.

Shen Yu looked down at Tang Li for a long time.

Then, suddenly, he reached his hand out to the quilt. After a while of groping, he quickly grasped Tang Li's hand.

Seemingly asleep, Tang Li was shocked by him and started shaking, but he failed to stop Shen Yu's next movement. The hand was easily pulled out of bed by Shen Yu.

"Shen Yu!"

In the panic, the little villain shouted anxiously, and there was a clear alert look in his eyes. Where did it look like he had just woken up?

Shen Yu had long guessed that the child was pretending to be asleep. He was not surprised. Instead, he pulled Tang Li's small hand with his own hands, wanting to see the little villain's palm.

Tang Li seemed to be very reluctant to show Shen Yu his palm. His face, which was slightly ugly, turned pale for a moment. He struggled to get up from bed and tried to pull his hand back.

Unfortunately, Shen Yu held on too tightly.

After half a day's struggle, he still couldn't make Shen Yu let go.

Shen Yu was upset by Tang Li's guilty act. He clapped twice on the back of the villain's hand and said quietly, "Don't move."

After that, the villain really dared not to move.

Shen Yu spoke with a firm tone, "Open your hand and let me see it."

Tang Li clenched his jaw and did not move. The anxious phoenix eyes appeared sad and pitiful in the room's yellow light. After a while, he said in a weak voice, "Shen Yu, you're hurting my hand."

"Really?" Shen Yu raised his lips and laughed coldly. "If you do what I say, I'll release your hand."

Tang Li hesitated and refused to move.

In fact, Shen Yu can forcibly open Tang Li's hand, of course he thought he could.

However, Tang Li's small hand clenched into a fist with so much strength that nobody could tell where it came from. No matter how hard Shen Yu tried, he could not break open the five fragile and slender fingers.

In the end, it was Shen Yu who was exhausted and panting after some ups and downs.

Two people stared, one big and one small, for half a day. Finally, Shen Yu chose to give up first. He cast aside Tang Li's hand with a cold face and without saying a word, he manipulated the wheelchair and turned to leave the room.

Tang Li, who was initially relieved, was suddenly panicked. He reached out to pull Shen Yu's clothes and yelled, "Don't go! You can see it, just don't go!"

Shen Yu grabbed Tang Li's hand and spread it out while the other party was not paying attention.

In the next second, a fine wound came into view.

It was wounds from his own fingernails.

Shen Yu retorted: "Pretending to be sick, why do you hurt yourself in this way? Your acting is as good as it is bad. Besides, Grandpa Shen won't let us go."

Tang Li hung his head and said, "If I act like this, you won't have to go to Grandpa Shen's for a long time."

Shen Yu was stunned.

It has to be said that the 10-year-old villain's thinking is more comprehensive and far-reaching than his own.

For a moment, all the fire filling Shen Yu's stomach disappeared without trace. He was somewhat moved and sighed, wrapping the injured hand of Tang Li in his palm.

"Why did you continue to pretend to be ill when I asked you in the car?"

Hearing this, Tang Li's beautiful face filled with guilt, and an almost undetectable blush. He moved his lips and said, "I just wanted you to hold me more..."

Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterCh.19 – Promise

Shen Yu gazed at Tang Li for a long time. Suddenly, he let out a big chuckle and gently reached out his hand to pinch the tip of Tang Li's nose.

"Wouldn't it be better to say it directly? Do I seem like a difficult person to communicate with?"

Tang Li was shocked by Shen Yu's sudden action. On instinct, he leaned back unconsciously. Realizing his reaction, he blushed and tipped his body forward again.

Originally his face and Shen Yu's hand were still a little far away, so as a result of leaning in too fast, Tang Li's whole face hit Shen Yu's palm.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Yu felt that his hand, which he had not yet had time to put down, was full of something soft. After overcoming his shock, he found that he was holding the hot cheek of the villain.

Shen Yu smiled and raised his eyebrows. "So active?"

During the conversation, Tang Li's breathing became more and more urgent. The hot air on his hand warmed Shen Yu's heart. It was like a feather gliding past, hot and itchy.

Even though most of Tang Li's faces was covered by his hands, Shen Yu could still guess that the little villain's face had turned bright red.

In certain moments, this child is particularly shy.

Just like now, he can't even lift his head from Shen Yu's hand.

Sighing, Shen Yu was both amused and helpless. He took his hand off Tang Li's face and then gently took the little villain into his bosom.

Tang Li was stunned stiff, he dared not to move at all.

After a long time, Shen Yu pat the back of the villain two times: "Are you all right now?"

It took him a while to finally hear Tang Li's muffled reply: "Yes..."

"Then I'll ask the doctor to come and deal with the wound on your hand. After that, we'll go home." Shen Yu let go of Tang Li, smiled, and pinched the little villain's bright red cheeks. "Okay?"

Tang Li opened his beautiful phoenix eyes and thin lips, and there seemed to be stars shining in his dark eyes. He looked at Shen Yu for a long time and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Shen Yu laughed and rubbed the head of the little villain, "Thank you for today."

After that, Shen Yu left the room in his wheelchair. He asked Uncle Zhang, who was outside the door, to call the doctor and treat the wound on Tang Li's hand immediately.

As a result, the little villain's hands were once again wrapped tightly in gauze.

When they finally got home, the clock on the wall showed that it was already 11:30 at night.

Shen Yu remembered that Tang Li had not eaten much at Elder Shen's house, and ordered his servant to cook a bowl of noodles.

In the huge dining room, Shen Yu and Tang Li sat face to face at the table.

The poor villain's right hand was still wrapped in gauze. The chopsticks in his hand were so awkward that when he finally managed to pick up a piece of the noodles, before he could put them in his mouth, the noodles would slide down from his chopsticks.

"Pfft-"

Shen Yu, sitting across the stable, let out a chuckle.

Tang Li stopped immediately, looked up at Shen Yu, and his cheeks instantly became a brilliant red color.

Shen Yu held his own chin calmly in his hands and looked at Tang Li's embarrassing appearance with his head slightly tilted, but he didn't intend to help at all. Instead, he laughed happily.

"I'm afraid it will take a few days for your injuries to get better. During this period, it will be inconvenient for you to use chopsticks and pens, and you'll have a hard time at school." Shen Yu said.

"I know." Tang Li whispered.

"Now that you see the consequences, will you act like this again in the future?" Shen Yu sat up slowly and straightened his spine, arms crossed, he said in a rather serious tone, "It is the unwise to attract the attention of others by self-mutilation."

Tang Li put down his chopsticks silently and hung his head.

It looks pitiful.

In the end, for Shen Yu, this is the child he raised himself. When he sees the villain like this, he can't bear it. Yet he still manages to continue his lecture: "If a person doesn't care about you, even if you fall in front of them, they won't look at you. If a person cares about you, even if you frown, they can feel it... And what you did tonight will only hurt those who care about you."

Speaking of this, Shen Yu paused and suddenly felt very aggrieved. "Didn't you see me panic tonight?"

Tang Li dared not look up, nor did he dare to look directly into Shen Yu's eyes. He spoke as quietly as a mosquito, "I'm sorry, Shen Yu."

"I accept your apology." Shen Yu calmly replied, "But don't hurt yourself like that again."

Tang Li tightened his lips and after a long time said, "But I don't regret it."

Hearing this, Shen Yu was stunned.

Tang Li stared at the noodles that had already cooled down in front of him. There was no expression on his bright and beautiful little face. The boy's clear voice echoed through the air before landing in Shen Yu's ear.

"I don't want you to get married to that aunt. I don't want you to get married at all. Those people say that if there's a wife in this house, you'll never notice me again..."

After that, Tang Li's voice became smaller and smaller until it slowly died down.

Despite the efforts of the villain to hide his expressions, Shen Yu still saw his nervous face and timid eyes.

For a while, Shen Yu felt like he had a sharp needle sticking in his heart, which made him frown and grip the armrest of the wheelchair.

"Those people?" Even Shen Yu did not realize that his face was terribly gloomy. "Who are you talking about?"

Tang Li moved his lips: "Those people in the school."

Shen Yu gave a sneer.

He thought he had specially warned the principal himself, but he didn't realize that those people were still bullying his child. Even he couldn't bear to say a few harsh words to the villain, so who was it that dared to speak such harsh words so openly in the villain's ears...

Shen Yu was so angry that he felt his lungs were about to explode. Then he saw the little villain's pitiful look that was full of dejection, and felt his whole heart soften.

He rolled to Tang Li in his wheelchair, put out his hands, held the little villain's face, and lifted it up gently.

Tang Li had no resistance. His grieving eyes fell on Shen Yu's face. A close look revealed that the shining black eyes of the villain were covered with a thin layer of water.

The little villain's eyes are almost red.

His face was very pale, and his lips trembled slightly.

Soon, a pea-sized tear fell, smashing on the tips of Shen Yu's thumbs as he was cradling the little villain's face in his hands.

Shen Yu felt his heart break.

"Don't bother with what those people say. I swear to you that I won't get married for the time being." Shen Yu wiped the tears from the corners of Tang Li's eyes with his fingertips and spoke in a very earnest and gentle voice.

"Really?" Tang Li's expression was not quite right. Only tears, like broken pearls, keep pouring out of his eyes.

The villain, as if unaware of his tears, stared directly at Shen Yu and asked in a husky voice, "For how long?"

Shen Yu thought about it and said, "At least until you grow up."

"Okay, I believe you." Tang Li burst into laughter and wiped the tear marks on his face with the back of his hand. After calming down, he gradually became serious and solemnly said to Shen Yu, "I will remember this promise."

Shen Yu was amused by Tang Li's adult-like act, he rubbed his head and said, "Just remember, I'm the one who said it."

It was getting late. Shen Yu asked the servant to tidy up the dishes and chopsticks, and then took Tang Li upstairs for some rest.

The little villain had finally seemed to unravel the knot in his heart. His smile was so brilliant that it could even overshadow the bright lights in the hall. Now, in front of Shen Yu's bedroom door he was stuck like a piece of gum [1] to the man in the wheelchair.

"Go to sleep." Shen Yu helplessly urged, "You have to get up early to go to school tomorrow."

Tang Li responded in a crisp voice, "Good night, Shen Yu."

Shen Yu smiled and was too lazy to correct the little villain's bad habit of calling his full name. He waved, "Good night, Chestnut."

Tang Li watched Shen Yu shut the bedroom door and stood motionless for nearly five minutes before finally turning to his own bedroom door.

Within seconds, he had regained his old indifference, completely without the fragile look that Shen Yu saw while holding his face not long ago.

Only his still red eyes proved that he had just cried.

Tang Li sat down on the sofa, picked up his mobile phone and opened the photo app to find the hidden album inside, which was completely comprised of photos of Shen Yu, all of which were taken secretly.

When he saw these pictures, the frost in his eyes began to slowly melt.

He gently touched Shen Yu's picture with his fingertips.

"You promised me, so you can't regret it later."

———————

Every bath is a challenge for the disabled Shen Yu. Fortunately, the bedroom has a barrier-free design.

Even after completing his rehabilitation program for such a long time, Shen Yu can barely stand for two or three minutes.

As a result, even though he had just come out of the bath, he was already sweating.

Before going to bed, Shen Yu took out his mobile phone to check his work email. Pressing on the screen of his mobile phone, he saw a text message from a strange number at the top.

[Hi, Mr. Shen, I'm Jenny Yang, who had dinner with you this evening. I'm afraid to disturb you. If you don't mind, can you add my friend request through Weibo? (*)]

Shen Yu stared at the text for a long time before he realized who Jane Yang was.

Oh...

The girl's name was Jane Yang.

But what does she look like?

Shen Yu's impression of the girl was blank, so he did not hesitate to ignore the text message, unlock the mobile phone, click on the mailbox, and start checking his work email.

Later, Shen Yu slowly fell asleep with his mobile phone still in his hands.

——————————-

The next day.

Shen Yu was awakened by the loud ringtone of his mobile phone.

He jumped out of bed in horror and sat up. It took a long time for his dull brain to regain some consciousness.

He picked up the mobile phone to check it.

It was a call from Elder Shen.

[1] The story uses "stuck like a piece of brown sugar candy", which makes sense for anyone that's made sugar candy, but I still substituted gum.

Shen Yu's mind instantly cleared.

He remembered that he had telephoned Grandpa Shen last night to tell him that Tang Li was safe, so he didn't know why he was getting a call so early in the morning.

As soon as he answered the phone, Elder Shen's booming voice came from his mobile phone: "Little Yu, Little Yang has taken the initiative to send a friend request on Weibo, how can you not respond at all?"

Shen Yu: "... I didn't see it."

Uncle Shen knew he had him in his grasp. He said with a big grin, "You can see it now."

Shen Yu helplessly pretended to look at his cell phone for a while: "... Oh, I see it."

"What are you waiting for?" Elder Shen urged, "It's not easy for girls to reach out like this. Last night Little Yang took the initiative to ask for your mobile phone number from me, saying that she wanted to try again."

Shen Yu wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, "So you sold off your grandson just like that?"

Elder Shen huffed and shouted, "If I'm not worrying about your future then whose future do you think I'm worrying about?!"

With that, Elder Shen urged Shen Yu to seize the opportunity instead of always immersing himself in the sorrow of the past. It's time for him to go out and meet new people.

Shen Yu listened helplessly and nodded his head as he got ready for the day.

By the time he hung up the phone, Shen Yu was ready. He clicked into the Weibo app and found the latest message from Jenny Yang in a pile of friend requests. He hesitated for a moment before finally clicking accept.

The next second, the phone's interface immediately switched to his chat box with Jenny Yang.

Shen Yu was stunned. He instinctively withdrew from the chat box. However, a word still suddenly appeared on a blank screen.

[Mr. Shen! You finally added me!]

Shen Yu: "..."

He felt like he should just put down his cell phone and pretend that he never saw the message. After a few hours, he can politely say that he had been busy all day and had no time to look at his cell phone. That's how he refused the previous pursuers.

The more passionate they are, the colder he is.

Although he did not speak clearly with his words, he expressed his meaning clearly in his actions.

But this Jenny Yang is different from those previous girls.

Not to mention that she was introduced by Elder Shen as a blind date, as far as the current situation is concerned, he can't just alienate her without her first explicitly expressing her feelings. It would be rather narcissistic to assume she held some special affection for him.

But he also can't just wait for Jenny Yang to tell him she likes him, can he?

Shen Yu debated with himself for a long time. Finally, he chose to ignore the message, he put away his mobile phone, then pushed the wheelchair out of the bedroom.

The little villain who always got up early had dressed neatly and was sitting at the dining table for breakfast. He heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling in front of the dining room door. The little villain immediately raised his head and looked at Shen Yu with shining eyes.

When Shen Yu saw the situation, his heart softened.

Like a puppy.

Truly the cutest!!!

Why hadn't he found time for such a lovely child before?

"Good morning." Shen Yu laughed, and as he passed by Tang Li in the wheelchair, he could not help rubbing the soft hair of the little villain.

The fingertips passing through the dark hair felt very good.

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and couldn't help loving it.

The villain seemed to enjoy Shen Yu's touch very much, and subconsciously raised his face to rubbed Shen Yu's palms in a gesture of pure dependence.

Soon, Shen Yu noticed that Tang Li's hair seemed to be a little long and was covering most of his beautiful phoenix eyes.

Shen Yu didn't know how Tang Li could endure his bangs blocking his eyes.

"Your hair is blocking your eyes, can see clearly?" Shen Yu chuckled and put his five fingers on Tang Li's forehead. Then he gently stroked the hanging hair upwards until the whole face of the villain was exposed.

Tang Li was born with naturally lovable features. With delicate facial features that seemed like they were carved by a master artist, it is difficult to imagine a child can be so beautiful.

Shen Yu was amazed.

Tang Li had not moved. He simply let Shen Yu mess with his hair as he pleased. He looked at Shen Yu with round eyes for a moment. It took a long time for him to say, "I can see you."

Shen Yu was instantly amused and gently patted Tang Li's head: "That's because I pulled your hair up, otherwise you can only see your bangs."

Tang Li tilted his head and did not answer.

Uncle Zhang, who was standing next to him, looked at Tang Li's hair and said, "It's really a bit long for young master Tang Li. I'll take him to the barber's shop for a haircut this weekend."

Shen Yu asked Tang Li, "What kind of haircut do you want?"

Tang Li blinked vacantly and suddenly asked, "What do you like?"

Shen Yu took back his hand from Tang Li's head and held his chin for several seconds to meditate before replying, "I think it's a good to be simple and convenient, so you don't have to worry about blocking your eyes."

Hearing this, Tang Li didn't think twice. He nodded directly and said, "In that case, crew cut [1] ."

Shen Yu chuckled and suddenly suspected whether or not a child of Tang Li's age knew what a crew cut was. He pinched the cheek of the little villain and said, "Aren't you afraid that after cutting your hair, that girl from middle school won't like you?"

Talking about the girl, there was a flicker from the bottom of Tang Li's eyes, but he soon looked at Shen Yu.

Then he pulled the corners of his lips down disapprovingly, without any emotion in his chilly voice said: "As long as you think I look good it's fine, and I don't know her at all."

Shen Yu felt a strange emotion, shook his head and said nothing more.

Children's feelings come and go quickly.

Despite the fact that the girl is now fascinated by the villain, if the villain doesn't pay her any attention, maybe tomorrow she will transfer her love to someone else.

After breakfast, Shen Yu planned to go to the company after accompanying Uncle Zhang to send Tang Li off to school.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. They had just talked about the middle school girl named Lei Yumeng at the dining table, and now they saw her come down from the Maybach in front of them and go to the school gate in a lively manner.

The next second, she caught a glimpse of Shen Yu's car, and then she trotted over in pleasant surprise.

Shen Yu picked up his eyebrows and said to Tang Li, "Your little sister is here."

Tang Li, who was ready to get out of the car, had already grasped the door handle and only needed to look up to see Lei Yumeng, who had ran put to the car door. Suddenly, he felt like he was touching hot metal, and quickly retracted his hand.

There was a bang from the door that had just been opened.

It closed again.

Shen Yu: "... Don't you need to get out?"

Tang Li turned his head to Shen Yu and flattened his mouth. There was an expression of grievance on his face. He whispered, "She's too annoying. I don't want to see her."

Shen Yu could not bear to embarrass the little girl and did not want to upset his own child. He hesitated for a moment, and then ordered Uncle Zhang to drive the car up so they can shake off Lei Yumeng before stopping.

Their car had just pulled up to the curb. They thought that Lei Yumeng who had been left far behind was gone, but unexpectedly, she tapped on the window and shouted the name of Tang Li.

Lei Yumeng did not intentionally suppress her voice, and many people around her were attracted by the commotion

Seeing more and more passers-by coming over, Shen Yu was embarrassed to ask Uncle Zhang to leave Lei Yumeng and drive away and could only let Tang Li off here.

Tang Li's cold face was covered with dark clouds. The air pressure around him was so low that it seemed as if the temperature had dropped several degrees. He opened the door expressionlessly and walked out with his long legs.

Lei Yumeng yelled, "Tang Li, you've ignored me for so long it's simply going too far! If you do this to me again, I really won't care about you."

Tang Li was so annoyed that he said in a cold voice, " Did I beg you to take care of me?"

Lei Yumeng felt angry and wronged, and even her voice became sharp: "How can you say that?"

Tang Li's patience with Lei Yumeng had been exhausted for a long time. He did not look at Lei Yumeng anymore. He closed the car door behind him and turned to the school gate.

Lei Yumeng was so angry that she glared at Tang Li's back and said, "If you ignore me, your brother will pay attention to me."

Before the words fell, Lei Yumeng reached out and opened the unlocked car door beside her.

Shen Yu was leaning back lazily in his wheelchair and had pulled out his mobile phone to check his email. He suddenly heard the door crack open. He turned his head in surprise and smiled sweetly at the opening door.

Looking carefully, you can see that Lei Yumeng has on light makeup.

The lavender pearl eye shadow and the pink matte lipstick make the little girl's beautiful face more lively and lovely.

"I know who you are." Lei Yumeng smiled sweetly and said, "Are you big brother Shen Yu? My parents often talk about you."

Shen Yu put down his cell phone and laughed, "Hello."

Lei Yumeng looked at Shen Yu with rosy cheeks and a shy smile. She said excitedly, "Big brother Shen Yu, will you come to the parents' meeting next week? You look so good, there must be a lot of girls that like you."

"..." Shen Yu wanted to laugh and cry at the same time when he was praised by the little girl. Instead, he asked, "Is there a parents' meeting next week?"

"Yes." Lei Yumeng nodded and said, "Parents in the elementary and middle schools should be here at 3 p.m. next Friday."

Shen Yu has never attended the parents' meeting of his child, but he felt curious. In addition to what Tang Li said last night, Shen Yu thinks it's necessary for him to go to school to support the little villain.

He simply can't let others bully his cute child anymore!

Shen Yu intended to ask the girl more questions, but before he can say anything, he saw the little villain rushing back to the car, grabbing Lei Yumeng's arm and dragging the little girl away.

Before leaving, the villain slammed the car door.

Shen Yu was left in a state of confusion.

[1] If he really has such fine features, I think he could pull off a crew cut.
