Because he was worried about Shen's mother, Shen Yunxing didn't sleep well that night. He got up early the next day and went back to Lin'an with Mr. Fu.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Shen's father heard the doorbell. He opened the door and was stunned to see his youngest son standing at the door.
"Dad, where is Mom? Is she seriously injured?" Shen Yunxing asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, your mother is in the bedroom. She is not seriously injured. She just looks serious." Shen's father patted his son's shoulder and said, "Your brother will be here at noon."
"Brother is coming back too?"
"Yes, he said he came back to get something."
Shen Yunxing nodded. While he was talking, he had already reached the bedroom. When he entered, he saw Shen's mother lying on the bed. There was a thick plaster on her left leg. She looked much more haggard.
His heart ached and his eyes were red.
"Why are you back? I shouldn't have called you last night." Seeing her son's red eyes and looking like he was about to cry, Shen's mother felt distressed, "Okay, you're so old and still crying, I'm fine, it's just a small sprain, it will be fine after a few days of rest at home."
"Do you need to put such a thick plaster on a sprain?" Shen Yunxing is not a three-year-old child, he knew that Ms. Shen was coaxing him as soon as he heard it.
"It's really nothing." Shen's mother changed the subject, "Son, you haven't eaten yet after coming back at this time, I'll ask your dad to make you something delicious."
"Mr. Shen, your son hasn't eaten yet, go buy a few pounds of ribs, our Xing'er likes braised ribs the most."
"Don't worry about it, just leave it to me." Shen's father said outside the bedroom.
Shen's mother: "Xing'er, the snacks you left last time are still here. Eat some first to fill your stomach. We'll have dinner when your brother comes back."
Shen Yunxing nodded. He had eaten something in the car when he came here, so he wasn't hungry yet.
Seeing that Shen's mother's lips were a little chapped, she said, "Mom, I'll go get you a glass of water."
"Hey, who said that raising a son is not as good as raising a daughter? Our two children are so caring. Which of the neighbors in the community is not jealous of them?" Shen's mother said with a smile.
In the living room, Shen Yunxing sent a message to Mr. Fu, telling him that he had to stay at home for lunch and couldn't go out with him.
The man quickly replied.
【Mr. Fu】: Don't worry about me, just take good care of your aunt, and remember to call me if you have anything [pat on the head]
He looked at the emoticon package of patting the head, as if a man really touched his head, and his heart was warm.
When Shen Yunshu got home, lunch was just served on the table. He walked in and looked at his younger brother who came to greet him, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
"Brother, you are back just in time, go wash your hands and eat." Shen Yunxing took the backpack from his hand and said.
"Did you come back by yourself?" Shen Yunshu asked.
"Oh, yes."
Seeing that his younger brother avoided his gaze, his face suddenly darkened a little, but he didn't show it. Instead, he waited for his younger brother to turn around, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to the bastard surnamed Fu.
【sys】: See you at the coffee shop opposite Liuchunyuan at two o'clock.
After sending the message, he ignored it, put his mobile phone in his pocket, washed his hands and ate.
"Mom, how did you hurt your leg? If it's sprained, you can just trick me." Shen Yunshu said at the dinner table.
Shen Yunxing, who was chewing on spareribs, looked at his brother unhappily.
"Brother, why are you making personal attacks? Besides, I don't believe you, okay?"
"It's not a sprain. I ran into a robber on the way home from work." Father Shen put down his chopsticks and said with a dark face, "Don't let me catch him, or I'll beat him to a pulp!"
"Robber?" The two brothers looked at each other, and then looked at Mother Shen worriedly.
"The security in our community is very good, and you've been walking on this road for more than ten years, and there has never been any problem." Shen Yunshu frowned and said.
"Maybe it's just bad luck. The road I usually take yesterday was under construction, so I changed to a smaller road. Who would have thought that I would run into a robber by chance? Fortunately, a young man passed by and helped to beat the man away, otherwise I can't imagine the consequences." Shen's mother said with some fear.
After hearing this, Shen Yunshu frowned even more: "Nankang Road is not under construction. I took Nankang Road when I came here."
"Brother, do you mean that someone deliberately hurt our mother?" Shen Yunxing looked at his brother in a daze.
Shen's father and mother were also stunned.
"No way, our family has never offended anyone." Shen's mother thought about it, and she didn't expect that she would really think of a person.
She was busy with the promotion to deputy director during this period. There were three people competing with her. One of them was a male teacher in his forties named Chen Sheng, who usually had some problems with her.
I heard that Chen Sheng spent a lot of money to bribe the vice-principal for this election, but the vice-principal was arrested for corruption, bribery and molesting students some time ago, and all the hundreds of thousands of dollars he spent went down the drain.
"He must be angry because of shame. I remember that you seemed to have a feud with a teacher named Chen before." Shen Yunxing said. Shen
's mother nodded. She had reported to the vice-principal that Chen Sheng had been doing something dirty to students, but the matter was eventually left unresolved. Later, she found out that the vice-principal had been bribed by Chen Sheng.
Could it be that he wanted to take revenge on him as his son said? But these were all illegal things, and he would go to jail if caught.
At this time, Shen's mother's cell phone rang. It was a call from the Public Security Bureau. She was startled and almost threw the phone into the soup bowl.
"Mom, let me answer it." Shen Yunshu said.
"Hello, hello, is this Shen Rongyin, Ms. Shen?" The call was connected, and the person on the other end asked.
"Hello, I am Ms. Shen's son. What can I do for you?"
"We received a report yesterday afternoon. A deliberate ambush case occurred on Nankang Road. The murderer came to the police station to surrender two hours later. Ms. Shen Rongyin, as the victim, needs to go to the police station to identify the murderer and make a record."
Turn yourself in? How is this possible.
"Can I ask what the name of the person who reported the case yesterday was?" Shen Yunshu said.
"It was a young man named Fu."
This was indeed done by Fu Tingzhou, but the young man named Fu was just a coincidence. However, Shen Yunshu accidentally discovered the truth.
"Thank you, we'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yunshu looked at his younger brother with a complicated look.
"Brother, why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Yunxing swallowed his saliva. His brother's look made him feel uneasy.
"It's okay."
Shen Yunshu told Shen's father and mother about the incident. After the family finished their meal, they took a car to the police station.
Lin'an Public Security Bureau.
Chen Sheng had handcuffs on his wrists, and his not-so-young face was full of dejection.
"Teacher Shen, I was wrong. I was obsessed and almost hurt you. You can ask me to pay you any amount of money. I have a wife and children who rely on me to support me at home. I can't go to jail!"
Shen's mother softened her heart. After this incident, Chen Sheng could not continue to teach at the school. Besides, she didn't suffer any substantial injuries except for scratches, so she planned to chat privately.
After the matter was resolved, Shen Yunshu first sent the man home, and then drove to the Pink Café. Before leaving, he saw his younger brother Shen Yunxing holding a mobile phone and chatting with someone, his happy mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.
His face suddenly sank, and he suppressed the sourness in his heart, and drove away expressionlessly.
...
One fifty-five, Pink Café.
Fu Tingzhou had just sent a message to the boy, reminding him not to eat ice cream while he was away, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Yunshu walking towards him with a dark face.
After a night, Shen Yunshu became much calmer, but when he thought of this man who was older than him, he actually seduced his younger brother who had just reached adulthood, he couldn't help but rush up and punch him, but he held back.
"Fu Tingzhou." He said, holding back his anger, "I really want to give you a good beating right now."
He had watched his younger brother Shen Yunxing grow up. Although he looked gentle and well-behaved, he was actually very stubborn. Once he made up his mind about something, no matter what others said, it would be impossible to change his mind unless he gave up.
So after knowing this, he did not talk to his younger brother Yunxing, but chose to go to Fu Tingzhou. If Fu Tingzhou gave up, Yunxing would be sad, but he would have to accept the reality in the end.
"I don't care when you and Yunxing got together or how long you have been together. From today on, you have nothing to do with each other. Yunxing is still young, he has just reached adulthood, and you are a mature adult, so much older than Yunxing, you are not suitable to be together."
Shen Yunshu looked at the man and said coldly, "This relationship should not have started in the first place, now is the time to end it."
Fu Tingzhou: "Sorry, I can't accept your proposal."
"Don't accept? What qualifications do you have to refuse! Indeed, you helped a lot with Tingting's surgery, and even when my mother was attacked, if I'm not mistaken, it was you who asked others to settle the matter, but you had no good intentions from the beginning, you did all this just to coax Yunxing away!" Shen Yunshu clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
From the time he came in till now, the expression on this man's face has hardly changed. He doesn't show any guilt for doing something wrong.
The man's attitude is like a fuse, and he tried his best to suppress it so as not to ignite himself.
"Mr. Shen..."
"Brother!"
Shen Yunshu looked at the man walking towards this side quickly and sneered: "Hehe, Mr. Fu is really good at tricks. We should have solved this matter by ourselves, but you called my brother to be a shield."
Shen Yunxing came over and heard this sentence. He stood beside Mr. Fu and said with a pale face: "Brother, I am also wrong in this matter. I shouldn't have hidden it from you and my parents, but there are reasons. Mr. Fu and I have to do this."
A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the young man. Not only was his face pale, but his fingers were also shaking slightly.
Fu Tingzhou only took a glance and frowned deeply.
He took the boy's wrist and placed him on a chair. After taking off his clothes and putting them on the boy, he poured a cup of hot water and asked the boy to drink it.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" He touched the boy's forehead and asked softly.
Shen Yunxing shook his head. He grabbed the man's arm, his eyes red.
"Mr. Fu, we agreed to face it together, why didn't you take me with you?"
If it weren't for his sister-in-law to tip him off, according to his brother's temper, if he knew the truth, he would definitely take action, and Mr. Fu would never fight back!
The boy's tears made Fu Tingzhou feel heartbroken.
This was the second time he saw the boy cry.
The first time, he didn't protect the boy and Bao Baobao, and almost caused an accident to the two.
But this time, he broke his promise. He didn't do what he said to face it together.
"Sorry, there won't be a next time." He gently wiped away the tears from the boy's eyes with his fingertips.
The interaction between the two was intimate, and Shen Yunshu couldn't get in the way at all. He clenched his fists and stared at the two people in front of him. After a moment, he suddenly realized that his brother seemed to be in a bad state.
