Chapter 41
While Shen Tingzhou was having breakfast, he received an unexpected call.
Jiang Ji's cold voice came from the receiver, revealing a bit of unreality, "Doctor Shen, can you come over now? He Yanting is here with me."
Shen Tingzhou gulped, coughed, and used a tissue to wipe the spilled milk on the table, accidentally knocking over the seasoning bottle.
After a period of chaos, Shen Tingzhou said to Jiang Ji, "I'll be there right away."
It was already nine o'clock in the morning when Shen Tingzhou arrived at the hotel near J University according to the address Jiang sent.
Jiang Ji lives in room 304.
He Yanting, with her long legs, sat on a cramped sofa, wearing an ill-fitting sportswear. Her overly long hair hung down, occasionally piercing her eyes.
When Shen Tingzhou came in, he was rubbing his eyes.
Facing those red, confused eyes, Shen Tingzhou's expression froze slightly.
This……
Could it be that Mr. He has lost his memory?
Shen Tingzhou felt like a huge pot of dog blood was splashing towards him. For a moment, he couldn't control his expression. He stared at He Yanting straight, like a kidnapping criminal.
He Yanting seemed a little scared and immediately hid behind Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji was obviously a little uncomfortable, but he did not let go of He Yanting's hand. He just said to Shen Tingzhou, "When I saw him, he became like this."
Shen Tingzhou did not dare to look at He Yanting openly, and whispered, "It should be that he was injured in the head in a car accident. The specific situation needs to be checked. However, where did you meet him?"
Jiang Ji: "In a small alley nearby."
He just came back from out of town yesterday because his school tutor wanted to see him about something.
After coming back from dinner with his tutor in the evening, he heard some noise deep in the alley. When Jiang Ji went over, He Yanting was being beaten by several thugs.
He knew that something happened to He Yanting, but he couldn't understand why he appeared here.
Jiang Ji took a look at He Yanting who was hugging him stupidly, and his heart was filled with complicated feelings.
He retracted his gaze and asked Shen Tingzhou, "Doctor Shen, can you help me send him back?"
Upon hearing this, He Yanting hugged Jiang Ji even tighter and said in clumsy words, "I'm not leaving. I'm staying with Jiang Jiang."
Jiang Ji was strangled by him and it was a bit hard to breathe, but he said nothing and pursed his lips tightly.
Seeing this, Shen Tingzhou hurriedly coaxed He Yanting, "Mr. Jiang still has to work, you come with me first."
He Yanting currently has the IQ of a few years old, but he can still understand what is said. When he heard that Shen Tingzhou wanted to take him away, he hugged Jiang Ji and rocked him.
"I'll be good." He Yanting said pitifully, "Be obedient, listen to Jiang Jiang."
Jiang Ji lowered his eyes, as if he didn't want to see He Yanting like this.
Shen Tingzhou continued to coax her, "You can't stay here alone. It's very dangerous. Outsiders are all bad people. If they take you away, you will never see Mr. Jiang again."
He Yanting was very logical, "I... won't go out."
Shen Tingzhou: "If you don't go out, they will break in by themselves. So, you come back with me, and when Mr. Jiang makes enough money, he will come to pick you up. Otherwise, you will be hungry if you don't make any money."
He Yanting went to push Shen Tingzhou away, "No, I won't leave."
Shen Tingzhou used his trump card, "Do you want Mr. Jiang to be hungry? What will he eat and drink if he doesn't work?"
He Yanting was obviously hesitant and looked at Jiang Ji timidly.
Jiang Ji followed Shen Tingzhou's words and lied to He Yanting, "I have to go to work. I can't work with you here."
He Yanting hurriedly said, "Jiang Jiang is here to pick me up."
Seeing that Jiang Ji didn't say anything, he hurriedly pulled Jiang Ji and said, "Come pick me up, I'll listen to you."
Jiang Ji nodded after a long while and said stiffly: "You go back first, I will pick you up when I make enough money."
Shen Tingzhou used coaxing and deception and finally brought He Yanting back.
When leaving He's house, He Yanting asked Shen Tingzhou all the way, and kept confirming with him that Jiang Ji would come to pick him up.
Shen Tingzhou coaxed, "Yes, you have to be obedient here, and Mr. Jiang will come to pick you up."
He Yanting insisted, "When will you come?"
Shen Tingzhou: "I'll come as soon as I earn enough money for food."
He Yanting: "How much is enough for a meal?"
"It's a lot of money. Food is very expensive nowadays."
Shen Tingzhou felt somewhat guilty for lying to a child, but there was nothing he could do. Jiang Ji had finally started a new life, and he couldn't be trapped again just because He Yanting had lost his memory.
After comforting He Yanting and promising to bring candy to see him tomorrow, Shen Tingzhou left the He family.
Now I just hope that He Yanting is really a child and will forget about Jiang Ji, whom he only met once, in a few days.
After leaving He's house, Shen Tingzhou called Zhou Zitan to tell him that He Yanting had returned.
The call was made twice before Zhou Zitan answered.
Before Shen Tingzhou could tell him the good news, the other party gave him an explosive news first.
"Doctor Shen, I seem to have killed someone."
"!!!"
Shen Tingzhou: You'd better really kill him, so as to avoid testing my conscience by doing it again and again today and tomorrow!
-
When Shen Tingzhou was driving to the crime scene, Zhou Zitan called again on the way.
Zhou Zitan: "Doctor Shen, I just went in again to confirm that the person is still alive."
Shen Tingzhou: Haha.
Shen Tingzhou hung up the phone call coldly and changed the destination from the crime scene to the scene of the attempted crime.
When we walked into the scene, we saw a mess, with bloodstains still on the messy floor.
Shen Tingzhou inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. As he walked forward, he saw Zhou Zitan covered in blood and Yu Jurong with an abdominal injury.
Yu Jurong was leaning against the sofa, methodically stopping his bleeding. He glanced coldly at Zhou Zitan who was biting his nails.
Yu Jurong sneered, "Why, are you scared now?"
Zhou Zitan was unconvinced, "Who is afraid? I just want to see my brother as soon as possible. My mother just called and said he is back. Are you okay? Are you going to die? If you are okay, then I will leave."
When Shen Tingzhou came in, he just happened to hear Zhou Zitan's heartless words.
To be honest, if he were Yu Jurong, he would really be annoyed by Zhou Zi.
Yu Jurong was indeed from the Flower District, and immediately found Zhou Zitan's weak spot, "You'd better go quickly, otherwise when the police come, you may not even be able to see your brother for the last time."
This is why Zhou Zitan didn't dare to leave, for fear that as soon as he left, Yu Jurong would call the police right after him.
Zhou Zitan is not afraid of going to jail, but he doesn't want to go to jail at this critical juncture.
His brother just came back and he wanted to stay with him for a while longer.
Zhou Zitan grabbed a handful of hair and asked irritably, "So what do you want?"
Shen Tingzhou didn't rush in, he just stuck his head in to observe the situation inside.
The perpetrator Zhou Zitan looked anxious, while the victim Yu Jurong was calm and composed.
The more I watched this scene, the more familiar it seemed, as if... Jiang Ji and He Yanting had also experienced it before.
The same coercion, the same hurt, and the "victim" still controls everything.
As expected, the drama is a circle that has ended up with Zhou Zitan himself. He should be able to understand Jiang Ji's helplessness now.
It's time for Xiao Zhou to be taught a lesson, otherwise he will definitely cause great disaster in the future.
Yu Jurong put on the bandage and bit one end to secure it, with very skilled movements.
Zhou Zitan was not a patient person. Seeing that Yu Jurong remained silent, he stood up and rushed over, "Stop wasting time. What do you want in exchange for letting me go?"
Yu Jurong then raised his head and smiled, "That depends on your sincerity."
Zhou Zitan had already stepped into the trap, but he was completely unaware. "Just tell me. As long as I can do it, I can agree to it."
Shen Tingzhou felt something was wrong, and then he heard Yu Jurong say with a smile, "Let's put it this way, blood debt must be paid with flesh."
Blood debt and flesh payment?
Shen Tingzhou didn't understand at first, and neither did Zhou Zitan.
Zhou Zi frowned, "You want to cut my flesh?"
"It's not this kind of sexual compensation." Yu Jurong looked at Zhou Zitan with those enchanting peach blossom eyes, "If I need you, you have to be there for me until I get tired of it. I'm talking about physiological needs."
Shen Tingzhou:!
He wanted Zhou Zitan to learn a lesson, but he didn't want Xiao Zhou to sell himself out.
Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but come out, "Wait a moment."
Zhou Zitan over there readily agreed, "Okay!"
The voices of Shen Tingzhou and Zhou Zitan overlapped, and both of them looked at each other in surprise.
Shen Tingzhou was surprised, "Why did you agree?"
Zhou Zi was surprised, "Doctor Shen, you're here so soon?"
Shen Tingzhou only regretted that he had not been faster and let Zhou Zitan foolishly sell him out.
Is it so easy to get on Yu Jurong's bed? Even if it is easy to get on, then... is it easy to get off?
Shen Tingzhou suspected that he had some weird habits in bed, but then again, with Xiao Zhou's physique... most tricks wouldn't be difficult for him.
Zhou Zitan didn't take Yu Jurong seriously at all and shared the good news with Shen Tingzhou.
"Doctor Shen, did you know that my brother is back?"
The corner of Shen Tingzhou's mouth twitched slightly, "I know."
Zhou Zitan left Yu Jurong behind and said, "Let's go then."
Shen Tingzhou stood still and reminded Zhou Zitan, "Have you forgotten what you just promised someone?"
Zhou Zitan didn't take it seriously and said casually, "It's okay, just like you said, just treat it as a dog bite."
Shen Tingzhou: ...Now you have come to terms with it!
Yu Jurong was not angry either. She held her chin up and smiled, "Doctor Shen, I want to talk to him alone."
Zhou Zitan said impatiently, "If you have any bullshit to say, just say it now."
Yu Jurong took out her phone and said, "I think I should talk to the police. They are more friendly."
Zhou Zitan's face twitched, and he changed his words stiffly, "Doctor Shen, please go out and wait for me. I'll be there in a moment."
Shen Tingzhou was a little worried, but when he saw that the blood on Zhou Zitan's body was Yu Jurong's, his heart suddenly returned to normal.
Although Yu Jurong is not someone to be trifled with, Xiao Zhou is no pushover either.
Shen Tingzhou went out to wait for someone, and within two minutes Zhou Zitan came out, covering his ears and cursing.
Shen Tingzhou frowned, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Zi reached down and revealed his bleeding ear, and angrily said, "That pervert pierced my ear."
Not only did he pierce Zhou Zitan's ears, he also gave him an earring.
Zhou Zitan said angrily: "If I wasn't afraid that he would call the police, I would have punched him in the face."
Shen Tingzhou paused in taking the tissue and said nothing, but just gave the tissue to Zhou Zitan.
Zhou Zitan roughly wiped the blood from his ear and said, "This pervert is always thinking about men's butts."
Shen Tingzhou said calmly: "Your brother..."
As if knowing what he was going to say, Zhou Zitan retorted, "How can my brother be the same as him?"
Shen Tingzhou asked, "What's the difference?"
Zhou Zitan gave a reason that Shen Tingzhou could not refute. He said as a matter of course: "Because my brother is my brother, how could he be a pervert."
Shen Tingzhou: ...Okay.
Shen Tingzhou drove Zhou Zitan home first, and then went upstairs to change into clean clothes.
Zhou Zitan opened the car door and came in. Shen Tingzhou was a little surprised, "Why are you still wearing this earring?"
Zhou Zitan fastened his seat belt and said with a sullen face, "He wouldn't let me take it off, saying there was a tracking device on it."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Shen Tingzhou: "If he doesn't let you pick them, then you won't pick them?"
Zhou Zitan: "If I take it off, what if he calls the police?"
This is probably the case of "everything has its own strength", which is good.
Shen Tingzhou said nothing more. He drove Zhou Zitan to He's house to see He Yanting, whose IQ had regressed to that of a few years older.
-
Shen Tingzhou has been paying attention to Yu Jurong's works these two days.
A few days after the release of "The Ward", the new video "Outside the World" was uploaded.
At first, Shen Tingzhou didn't understand what "renwai" meant, and he even looked up the word on the Internet.
The so-called "outside human" refers to non-human creatures. The attacker in this video is an outside human, a kind of alien creature with super powers. At the end of the video, the attacker swallowed the receiver alive.
Shen Tingzhou originally thought it was "You Who Come From Beyond Humanity", but it turned out to be "Alien".
He doubted Yu Jurong's mental state. A normal person wouldn't be able to shoot such a film, right?
Zhou Zitan has been staying with He Yanting recently and seems to have rarely met Yu Jurong. Shen Tingzhou didn't know who to be happy for.
Although Yu Jurong has a good brain, he cannot get the upper hand over Zhou Zitan in terms of physical strength. The same is true for Zhou Zitan, who has excellent physical strength but a weak brain.
After losing his memory, He Yanting developed a serious bird complex. It has been almost a week since he returned to the He family, but he still clamors to see Jiang Ji.
When he couldn't see Jiang Ji, he specifically asked to call Shen Tingzhou.
As soon as Shen Tingzhou answered the phone, He Yanting began to accuse him, "You said Jiang Jiang was coming to pick me up, you lied."
Shen Tingzhou could only continue to lie, "Mr. Jiang is still working and can't come over for the time being. You have to be obedient."
"I didn't listen." He Yanting's voice choked with sobs, "You lied, he doesn't want me anymore."
Zhou Zitan's sour voice came from the side, "What's so good about Jiang Ji?"
He Yanting didn't like Zhou Zitan very much and pushed him away, "Go away and don't touch me."
Xiao Zhou, the vicious dog who stabbed someone and then asked whether the person would live or die, was pushed twice by He Yanting and his eyes were red.
"I've been playing with you for several days, why are you still like this? If you continue to be like this, I really won't play with you anymore."
He Yanting didn't buy it, "Go away."
Zhou Zitan choked, "I...I won't leave. Why should I leave?"
He Yanting: "You go."
Zhou Zitan: "I won't leave."
Listening to the two elementary school kids quarreling, Shen Tingzhou was overwhelmed.
He Yanting kept yelling that he wanted to go find Jiang Ji, and no one could persuade him to stop. Shen Tingzhou had no choice but to drive over to pick him up, pretending to take him to find Jiang Ji, but actually just going out for a walk.
Zhou Zitan followed behind him with resentment, staring at He Yanting's back and continuously releasing waves of resentment.
Shen Tingzhou looked at him with intolerance. Zhou Zitan sniffed and looked aggrieved, "I was so good to him..."
Shen Tingzhou looked at this big 'child' helplessly, "Can you please stop telling him that Jiang Ji doesn't want him anymore?"
Zhou Zitan suppressed his grievance for a second and said confidently, "It was originally like this. Jiang wanted my brother to become like this in his life, and my brother always thought about him."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Yanting, who was eating ice cream, suddenly turned around, kicked Zhou Zitan hard, and then ran away.
Zhou Zitan's nose twitched again, as if he had suffered a great injustice, "Doctor Shen..."
Shen Tingzhou said, should we do this or should we do this?
Although He Yanting has lost his memory, he still likes Jiang Ji very much. Zhou Zitan always says bad things about Jiang Ji, so it is strange that He Yanting likes him.
Afraid that He Yanting might get lost, Shen Tingzhou hurried to look for him.
He Yanting was biting on an ice cream when he saw the elevator in front of him open. He immediately rushed towards the elevator and accidentally bumped into someone on the way.
Shen Tingzhou quickly grabbed He Yanting's hand and apologized to him, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The man called him, "Doctor Shen."
Hearing this familiar voice, Shen Tingzhou shifted his gaze away from He Yanting and showed some surprise.
It's Su Yu.
Su Yu's eyes swept over Shen Tingzhou and He Yanting twice before he said softly, "You haven't come to see me recently. It turns out you have someone new."
This desolate voice made people around look at Shen Tingzhou strangely.
Shen Tingzhou's breathing stagnated, "No, this is mine..."
Before she even finished saying the word "employer", Su Yu said sourly, "I know it's yours, don't emphasize it so much, your hands are still held together."
Shen Tingzhou, who was holding He Yanting's hand, was afraid that he would run away: ...
Yu Mingyan walked out from the side. He first glanced at Shen Tingzhou, then asked Su Yu, "What's going on?"
Su Yu lowered his eyes, revealing a bit of sadness, "Dr. Shen has someone else, and my child and I are no longer the first in his heart."
Yu Mingyan put his arm around Su Yu's shoulders and said softly, "It's okay. I am willing to take care of you and the child forever."
Shen Tingzhou: What on earth are you two talking about!
Su Yu pushed Yu Mingyan away and looked at Shen Tingzhou with tears in her eyes, "But in my heart, there is only Dr. Shen."
Shen Tingzhou heard an exaggerated gasp.
There was a pretty girl in the crowd, her eyes sparkling, she was slapping her male companion desperately, her excitement was beyond words.
Oh my God!
It's a Shura battlefield where two men fight for one man!
The companion held up his strong shoulders and silently endured the opponent's iron fist.
Su Yu sobbed, "Doctor Shen, as long as you say you still love me, I will go with you!"
Feeling that the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, Shen Tingzhou was about to have a panic attack and said weakly, "Stop making trouble."
Su Yu stumbled back two steps and said sadly, "It turns out that in your heart, I am just a pathetic joke. You don't even want to lie to me."
Yu Mingyan put his arm around Su Yu's shoulders again, "Xiao Yu, come with me. I will take care of you."
This time Su Yu did not push him away, but his eyes were still on Shen Tingzhou, like a little white flower waving in the wind, stubborn and beautiful.
"Doctor Shen, I'm asking you one last time, do you really not want me anymore? If you tell me, I'll leave and never look back."
Just as Shen Tingzhou was about to speak, Zhou Zitan pushed through the crowd, rushed in and said to Su Yu, "Of course we don't want you, Doctor Shen is ours!"
Ours
《We》
Help, this is so exciting!
The girl became even more excited and slapped her companion more frequently.
Although Dr. Shen is a scumbag, he is very charming. There are actually two groups of people fighting for him!
The companion gritted his teeth and endured: Even though I have a body of steel, I can't withstand her iron sand palm, help!
Shen Tingzhou held his forehead with a headache, "Xiao Zhou, please stop making trouble."
"How did I cause any trouble?" Zhou Zitan complained, staring at Su Yu with hatred, "They are going to take you away! What will I do if you leave? What will my brother do?"
Shen Tingzhou couldn't hold back at all because of Zhou Zitan's lewd words. "Shut up!"
First he was rejected by He Yanting, and now he was treated coldly by Shen Tingzhou. Zhou Zitan could hardly control his grievance, and his eyes were hot and numb.
"You yelled at me." Zhou Zitan was heartbroken, "You yelled at me because of them!"
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Shen Tingzhou took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and patiently said to Zhou Zitan: "Okay, don't be angry, go see your brother."
Su Yu's dissatisfied voice came, "You coax him and not me, so I know you love him more."
The girl next to her shouted in her heart: Fight, fight!
Shen Tingzhou looked helplessly at Yu Mingyan, "Mr. Yu."
Yu Mingyan did not receive Shen Tingzhou's signal for help, but instead helped Su Yu to rebuke him, "How could you do this to Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu, let's ignore him and go."
As he said this, he protected Su Yu's belly and then picked him up.
Su Yu poked his head out of Yu Mingyan's arms and continued to look at Shen Tingzhou with a mixture of love and hate.
In the sad BGM in the shopping mall, Su Yu said, "Doctor Shen, I hate you."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Yu Mingyan reached out his hand and pressed Su Yu's head to his chest, "Be good, let's not look at him. Let this scumbag regret it."
Wow.
Such a considerate male second, with such peach blossom eyes!
The girl chased after Yu Mingyan and Su Yu as they left, her face full of stupefied expressions.
As soon as Su Yu left, Zhou Zitan returned to normal, "Okay, Doctor Shen, I forgive you. Hey, where's my brother?"
Shen Tingzhou's temples bulged, and he followed Zhou Zitan to quickly look for someone.
The girl licked her lips with a hint of satisfaction, and turned around to see her companion with a pale face. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
The male companion forced a smile and said, "It's okay. At most, you almost broke my bones."
The girl was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand and said shyly, "I'm sorry."
Seeing the other person's sweet smile, the male partner reflected on himself, "It's my fault, I'm too fragile."
-
Shen Tingzhou and Zhou Zitan acted separately and finally caught the man at the entrance of the shopping mall.
If they were a step later, He Yanting would have taken a taxi to look for Jiang Ji.
As soon as he heard Jiang Ji's name, Zhou Zitan became gloomy again, releasing waves of resentment.
Shen Tingzhou felt helpless. He didn't expect that He Yanting, who had lost his memory, would be so persistent. He drove him back.
After returning home, Shen Tingzhou made a cup of oatmeal for himself who was tired.
As if Su Yu was calculating on time, just as Shen Tingzhou finished drinking his oatmeal, his phone call came.
Su Yu's first words were, "I'm still mad at you."
Shen Tingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then why did you call me?"
Su Yu said, "I am angry, but the baby in my belly said he misses you."
Shen Tingzhou was immediately deflated, and had no intention of using Su Yu to his advantage. "Did you enjoy today's performance?"
Su Yu snorted softly, "But I'm really angry. You coaxed others but not me."
Shen Tingzhou wondered from the bottom of his heart, "Will Mr. Yu really not be angry?"
Su Yu always makes jokes like this, isn't Yu Mingyan jealous at all?
Su Yu said nothing, but smiled and handed the phone to Yu Mingyan.
Yu Mingyan put down the documents, took the phone and said to Shen Tingzhou, "Doctor Shen, welcome to join this family."
Shen Tingzhou hung up the phone without saying anything.
There is no way to deal with this couple, not at all.
Shen Tingzhou lay down on the sofa exhausted. After a while, his cell phone rang again. He picked it up and answered it, saying helplessly, "Mr. Su..."
Xu Xun's voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's me."
Shen Tingzhou was stunned for a moment, then sat up, "What's wrong?"
Xu Xun asked, "Are you waiting for Mr. Su's call?"
Shen Tingzhou hummed, "...No."
Xu Xun said, "Shen Shen let me ask you if you have time tomorrow?"
Shen Tingzhou laughed, "Yes."
Xu Xun: "Xu Xu asked me to ask you, can you come over for dinner?"
Shen Tingzhou: "Okay."
Xu Xun: "Orange Cat asked me to ask you what time you will come?"
Shen Tingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Maybe in the morning."
Xu Xun: "The housekeeper asked me to ask you what you want to eat?"
Shen Tingzhou: "All good."
After a pause, Xu Xun asked again, "Xu Xun asked me to ask you who Mr. Su is."
Shen Tingzhou didn't react at first, "A friend."
After answering, Shen Tingzhou realized the subject of Xu Xun's words. The corners of his lips curled up, "Then can you help Shen Tingzhou ask Xu Xun why he asked this?"
Xu Xun: "Xu Xun said he wanted to know."
Shen Tingzhou: "Okay, does he have any other questions?"
Xu Xun seemed to hold the phone closer, and his voice became clearer, as if he was speaking into Shen Tingzhou's ear, "He said he would wait for you tomorrow."
Shen Tingzhou's ears itched for a moment, and he coughed softly, "Okay, Shen Tingzhou got it."
-
The next morning, Shen Tingzhou drove to Xu's house.
The backyard of the villa is used to build a cat house, and the housekeeper moves all the potted plants inside the villa or to the front yard.
Most of them had been moved away, and there were still a few left, which Shen Tingzhou helped move to the front yard.
Seeing that the flower stand was mostly empty, the orange cat jumped up to basket in the sun, but because his body was too fat, he almost knocked the flower stand over.
There were two pots of tulips on the flower stand. Xu Xun quickly grabbed the pots, but his hand was hit by the flower stand.
The butler came over quickly and asked, "Are you okay?"
He took the tulip from Xu Xian's hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the tulip is fine."
The housekeeper went to the front yard with two pots of flowers, leaving Xu Xun alone there.
Shen Tingzhou couldn't bear to step forward and asked concernedly, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Xu Xun said it was okay, but he stretched out his hand that was hit.
Shen Tingzhou then discovered that there was blood stasis on the nail of Xu Xun's right middle finger. He frowned and said, "Apply ice to it."
Xu Xun's fingers were injured, so it was inconvenient for him to use chopsticks when eating at noon.
Seeing this, Shen Tingzhou put some dishes on his plate from time to time.
The housekeeper suddenly spoke, "Doctor Shen."
Shen Tingzhou looked up.
The housekeeper said, "Stay here and eat tonight. Without you, our young master will starve to death."
Shen Tingzhou: ...It's not that exaggerated.
Xu Xun said with a paralyzed face, "Stay here. Without you, I'll be criticized even for eating."
The butler glanced at Xu Xun and said calmly, "Be more manly."
Xu Xun: ...
After dinner, Shen Tingzhou treated the cats with external parasites while Xu Xun rubbed the cats' fur.
Thinking of the inexplicable words of the butler at the table, Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but wonder, "What does the butler mean by calling you manly?"
Xu Xun uttered a single sound from his nose, "It's just..."
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly stopped and looked around. Seeing that no one was continuing, he said, "You are just being sarcastic to me."
Shen Tingzhou exclaimed, looking at him in confusion, "Why?"
Xu Xun rubbed the cat's fur and said, "I have always been in this position in this family. Anyone can..."
"Yo."
This sound made Xu Xun freeze.
The housekeeper appeared from nowhere holding a pot of Clivia and said, "He is complaining to Doctor Shen."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Xu Xun: ...
Now Shen Tingzhou finally understood the butler's strange tone and couldn't help but glance at Xu Xun.
Xu Xun had a gloomy face and was rubbing the cat's fur mechanically with his hands, as if he had suffered a miserable failure.
Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but feel a little sympathy: Xiao Xu has had a hard time too.
The housekeeper said gently, "Doctor Shen, take a break. I'll ask the kitchen to bake a cake for you."
Xiao Shen immediately rebelled.
Although Xu Xun deserves sympathy, the housekeeper is really nice and the cake is really sweet.
-
Shen Tingzhou stayed at Xu's house for dinner, and the housekeeper gave him a lot of cakes before leaving.
Shen Tingzhou was deeply moved, the housekeeper was so nice.
On the way back, Shen Tingzhou stopped at an intersection and waited for the green light. He saw from the rearview mirror that a man was dragged out of the hotel next door by hotel security.
As soon as the security released him, he tried to rush into the hotel again but was quickly restrained.
Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but took a few more glances and soon discovered that the person being dragged was actually Li Muye.
The red light turned green, and the vehicles behind him were urging Shen Tingzhou to hurry up.
Shen Tingzhou drove forward quickly, watching Li Muye getting smaller and smaller in the reversing mirror. Finally, he changed lanes at the intersection ahead and went back to the hotel.
When Li Muye rushed in for the countless times, someone called him from behind.
Li Muye turned around and saw Shen Tingzhou, as if he had seen a relative, and rushed over to him and cried bitterly.
"Doctor Shen, they are inside." Li Muye said uncomfortably, "I saw it with my own eyes. These people were not allowed to enter."
Shen Tingzhou held down the emotional Li Muye and asked, "Who is in there?"
Li Muye's eyes filled with tears. "Brother Ning, there is also my brother."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Shen Tingzhou tried to comfort him, "It might be a misunderstanding, and your father is back."
No matter how courageous Li Jinghang is, there is no way he can cause trouble under the nose of his own father.
Li Muye cried even harder, "My dad is in there too. The three of them... They didn't take me with them because I was in jail?"
Shen Tingzhou: ...It's not a civil service exam.
