Chapter 250 Swing

When he had just entered junior high school, his uncle would take him out to play almost every week and took him to various adult occasions. During that time, Shen Lin gained a lot of experience.

Because of his upbringing, Shen Minyan was always strict in educating his two sons, trying his best to satisfy them materially, but never allowing them to do anything that was not in line with their status as students.

Young Shen Lin liked excitement, freedom and adventure. After he skipped a class in junior high school, Shen Minyan became more strict with him.

Shen Lin was unwilling to be trapped in an invisible cage by his father, and he went against Shen Minyan every day.

Skipping classes, fighting, and racing cars, the more he could make Shen Minyan so angry that smoke came out of his head, the more he liked to do it.

At that time, every time he saw Shen Minyan showing a helpless look towards him, he felt that he had won the invisible father-son contest with Shen Minyan.

While Shen Lin was distracted, the man had already sat next to him and asked about his studies.

Shen Lin made great progress in the final exams, passing every subject, with both math and English scoring over 120.

At the end of the semester, as a token of encouragement, his class teacher gave him a small medal of "Progress Star".

On the first day of the holiday, the teacher called Shen Minyan and affirmed Shen Lin's progress over the phone.

I hope that parents and teachers can work together to help Shen Lin make greater progress in the next semester.

Shen Lin was next to his father when the call came, and his father actually laughed while answering the phone.

As he was talking, the teacher wanted to learn from Shen Minyan and ask how their parents straightened out the unruly sapling Shen Lin.

Shen Minyan shook his head and said, "Teacher, you don't know, Linlin had very good grades in elementary school." He stood by the window, with regret in his voice, "My divorce with his mother affected him. I didn't consider his feelings and didn't care about him enough..."

Shen Lin pretended not to hear the cheesy words his father said, but his slightly red cheeks revealed his emotions when he quietly turned sideways.

The next day, he received a final-term gift from his father—a set of high-end gaming equipment.

Shen Lin still can't forget the excitement he felt when he saw the e-sports room built for him.

His father actually didn't object to him playing games and even set up an e-sports room for him.

Compared with material satisfaction, affirmation and understanding are what move him most.

That day, Shen Lin wrote five papers in the e-sports room with great efficiency.

Although his grandparents didn't like him very much, Shen Lin always felt that his uncle liked him.

But after hearing him tell his score, his uncle's attitude was very calm.

There was no compliment. The smile on his face just now disappeared, and he fell into silence as he stared at the cartoon on TV.

Shen Lin touched his nose, always feeling that there was a layer of cold air lingering around his uncle.

He's like the villain in a novel, with a sinister temperament.

He remembered that his uncle was not like this before.

Shen Lin was a little speechless about his rich imagination and picked up the little guy on the ground.

Su Youli no longer watched cartoons because his entire attention was drawn to this uncle who looked a little strange.

The child had clear eyes and big, round eyes. Chu Yi had never seen him cry since he entered the door.

He glanced and saw the child sitting on Shen Lin's lap, staring at him curiously with his big eyes.

No fear, no embarrassment, just pure curiosity.

Su Youli felt strange. Why was his uncle wearing such thick clothes in such a hot day? Wasn’t he hot?

There was a sound similar to a quarrel coming from the restaurant, and Su Youli clearly heard her mother's voice.

He immediately slid off the sofa, stuffed his little feet into slippers and ran towards the restaurant.

Shen Lin immediately followed behind, and the two brothers ran outside the restaurant, their eyes suddenly widened when they heard the quarrel.

Mom was arguing with grandma.

No one in the villa noticed that the man who had just been sitting on the sofa in the living room had stood up with his hands in his trouser pockets.

His slightly long hair blocked his eyes a little. He stood there and watched Su Youli struggle to raise her little hand to help Shen Lin push open the door of the restaurant.

The corners of the man's mouth twitched and his facial expression twisted. His hands felt numb and itchy, and he rubbed his fingertips in his pockets.

Four years ago, he stole the newborn Su Youli from the ward, took him to a village in the city that he had specially chosen, and abandoned him.

In sub-zero temperatures, disorderly places like urban villages are full of mixed people. Because of the low rent, people of all kinds gather there.

He wore two layers of masks that night, but it still couldn't block out the pungent smell from the trash can.

He concluded that no one in such a place would be kind enough to pick up a dying abandoned baby. After all, the people living here probably couldn't even guarantee their own lives.

It turned out that he had calculated wrong. Not only was Su Youli rescued, but he seemed to be living a comfortable life.

"I'm so lucky." He sneered as he watched Su Youli's figure disappear from his sight.

Butler Li calculated the time for the meal to end, came in from the side door of the villa, and called the aunt to go and clean up.

"Mr. Chu, are you going for a walk?"

Chu Yi had already walked to the entrance. When he heard the voice of Butler Li, he turned around and smiled at him.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I will go back now."

Chu Yi is good-looking, but he is too thin and looks lifeless, with a noticeable hunchback, which gives him a bit of a weird first impression.

"Why doesn't he wait for Mr. Chu and the others to go back together?" Aunt Jiang felt strange.

Butler Li walked to the door and watched Chu Yi leave. He noticed that the other party stopped when passing through the garden, with his face slightly tilted as if he was attracted by something.

After he got in the car and left, Butler Li walked out, stood where Chu Yi had just stopped, and turned his head slightly to look.

In the garden, there stood a white swing, and the small chair swayed back and forth with the wind.

"Mom, have you said enough?" Chu Ying's emotions were a little out of control.

Mother Chu kept nagging at the fact that Shen Lin and Youyou had not sat at the table to eat with her.

"Am I wrong? This is how you teach your children. When grandparents come, they don't have any basic manners and even hide in the kitchen to eat. You know you can't stand it..."

"Mom—" Chu Ying yelled, "I've said enough, stop talking!"

Chen Yan stood beside her and stroked her back with his hand, but just as he was about to speak, Chu Ying held his hand.

"I didn't ask you to come for this meal. You said you wanted to come and see Linlin and Youyou, but when you saw them you were so picky and dissatisfied. What do you want?"

Chu Ying walked forward and came to her, biting her lower lip to hold back tears, and lowered her voice: "I don't want to blame you in front of the children, but don't go too far."

Mother Chu looked at her in disbelief, as if she was meeting her daughter for the first time.

How dare she talk to me in this manner?

"Mom." Two voices sounded at the same time. Shen Lin and Su Youli ran to their mother together and looked at Chu's mother fiercely.

The little guy stood in front of his mother.

He opened his arms, raised his little head as high as he could, puffed up his cheeks and stared at his grandmother fiercely.

His grandmother actually dared to scold his mother, he must change her.

He hates this bad grandma!

"Have you had enough of the noise? Ahem?" Another old man who had been silent spoke up, his voice intermittent and dry.

Looking at the little guy who was protecting her with his small body, Chu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and left with the child in her arms before Chu's mother could say anything more unpleasant.

The ethical shackles prevented her from kicking her biological parents out of the house, so she left with her three children.

Out of sight, out of mind.
