Chapter 133 Acting
Several children chattered one after another. Shen Ze'an raised his head proudly, "Of course it's my aunt! My dear aunt!"
Shen Yanheng walked over and pulled him away from Shen Chutang, "Shen Ze'an, have you finished your homework?"
Shen Ze'an looked at him a little aggrieved, "I have already finished writing about Dad, but there is a point in Teacher Lin's talk about Leviathan that I don't quite understand. Can you explain it to me in the evening? I want to play with my aunt for a while now."
"Okay, but you can't let your aunt run and jump with you, and you can't let your aunt hug you, okay?"
"I know, Dad! I'm a big kid now, I don't need aunt to hold me!" Shen Ze'an took Shen Chutang's hand, "Come on, aunt, I'll introduce my friend to you."
"Okay." Shen Chutang turned around and smiled at them, then followed Shen Ze'an to the shade of a tree. Many children immediately gathered around them.
Shen Sichen put his arm around Shi Chengyu's shoulders and said, "Let's go. Our wife has been taken away."
Shi Chengyu was held in his arms and asked out of the blue, "Is Second Brother going to get his status?"
"Hey you kid?!"
Shi Chengyu pushed him away, took two quick steps and took the dishes from Shen Yanheng's hand, "Let me do it, big brother."
Shen Sichen was a little angry and aggrieved, and he held Shen Yanheng's arm, "Brother, you see how weak and mean he is now, do you dare to leave Tangtang to him?"
"Chengyu knows exactly what to do, unlike you who forget everything when you go crazy."
After entering the elevator, Shen Sichen still held his arm tightly and refused to let go. "I don't care, but I can't let him teach Tangtang badly."
Shen Yanheng looked at him with disdain. From childhood to adulthood, he was the only one who would lead Shen Chutang to do bad things.
When he was ten years old, he took Shen Chutang to dig out bird nests, and as a result, Shen Chutang's forehead was hit by a fallen bird egg, and a big bump appeared on it. When he was thirteen years old, he insisted on taking Shen Chutang with him when riding a bicycle, and as a result, Shen Chutang injured his knee. From then on, Shen Gengli refused to let him take Shen Chutang out to play alone.
Shen Sichen also remembered something and shook his head awkwardly, "By the way, Chengyu, why didn't you tell Shen Chutang that there was something wrong with that girl?"
“It’s too dirty.”
Shen Sichen was shocked by his answer for a moment, and then heard him say, "Wait until Tangtang feels better and then tell her."

In the Shen family's private hospital, Wen Zhi was stunned when she saw Lin Shulan coming to visit suddenly.
"Ms. Wen, you are very clever."
Lin Shulang sat beside the bed, looking calm, "Just don't blame our young lady for that."
Wen Zhi's breathing stagnated, "I don't understand what you are saying."
"Miss Wen knows that our young lady has been going to Fuyuan for dinner every night recently. She bribed the waiter to have our young lady come out at a fixed time. It's really hard for her to put on such a show."
Wen Zhi clenched her fists tightly and her blood ran cold. She saw Zheng Hao's miserable condition that day and she already regretted it then. The importance of Shen Chutang in Shi Chengyu's heart was beyond her awareness.
"Whether Miss Wen wanted to gain our young lady's sympathy and attention in this way, or for some other reason, this step was a wrong one."
Wen Zhi suppressed her trembling voice and asked, "So? Is he going to be punished like the other students before, expelled, or what?"
She had nothing left, and if she gave it her all, this would be the worst possible outcome.
Lin Shulan had a professional smile on his face, "Neither." He looked at Wen Zhi with scrutiny. She was indeed very smart. She knew that she couldn't really let Shen Chutang get hurt, and she didn't choose a more extreme method.
"Ms. Wen, you are a great actress. If you want to act, just keep acting. I just hope you remember, Miss Shen, you can't touch me."
Shi Chengyu's original words were that if Wen Zhi was controlled well, she would be a very good chess piece.
Wen Zhi's hand suddenly loosened, a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Lin Shulang continued, "Since you have already acted out a scene of risking your life to save our young lady, please continue to act. Our young lady is simple-minded, and we cannot let her know that she has been deceived for the time being, otherwise she will be very sad."
Wen Zhi suddenly wanted to laugh. She thought her flawless plan had been seen through long ago, but because she didn't want to make Shen Chutang sad, she achieved her goal in such a ridiculous way.
“What if I can’t act anymore?”
Lin Shulang still smiled, "I think if Zheng Hao knew that he was being plotted against, he probably wouldn't feel happy."
"But if one day our lady is no longer needed, we will make arrangements for you, and please leave in a neat and tidy manner."
Wen Zhi wiped the tears from her face. This was her best choice. "I understand. I will act well."
It turns out that there really are people in this world who can be protected so well that they never see any dirty or filthy side of things, and even the departure of the bad guys around them can be made into a beautiful story for them.
"Mr. Shi, don't you have any mercy?" Wen Zhi asked this question unwillingly, thinking of the scene yesterday when Shi Chengyu carefully carried Shen Chutang away with red eyes. She tried to test whether she would really be sent to Zheng Hao if she didn't agree. According to Zheng Hao's temperament, even if she didn't die, she would lose half her life.
"Just pretend he didn't exist." Lin Shulang said with a smile, "You should be thankful that our young lady is fine, otherwise you wouldn't be in the hospital now."
Compassion? There are only two kinds of people in Shi Chengyu's heart, Shen Chutang and others, and everyone else is no different to Shi Chengyu.
"You take good care of yourself. Our young lady may come over in two days. Please cooperate." Lin Shulan stood up, nodded slightly, then turned and left the ward.
The bodyguard outside closed the door. Wen Zhi knew that she should be thankful that Shen Chutang was really soft-hearted and kind. She knew that if Shen Chutang had not mentioned her in front of Shi Chengyu, she might have been captured by the Zheng family long ago.
She didn't know what it would be like to go down this road, and tears fell one by one, but perhaps, she made the right bet, because Shen Chutang was a very pure person.

Shen Chutang had classes these two days, and Shi Chengyu almost went to the classroom to accompany her. He was afraid that she would feel insecure, so he came to pick her up after class. After resting for two days, Shen Chutang kept thinking about going to the hospital to see Wen Zhi.
As soon as they got on the bus after class that day, Shen Chutang brought up the idea again. Shi Chengyu picked her up and put her on his lap, "Tangtang, do you really want to go?"
Shen Chutang nodded vigorously, "Why not? She was injured because of me."
Shi Chengyu kissed her forehead and said, "Then I'll tell Tangtang something first, and then Tangtang can decide whether to go or not, okay?"
Shen Chutang was stunned for a moment, with some confusion in his eyes, but he had a feeling that the next words would not be good news.
"What happened a few days ago was somewhat related to that girl. Maybe it was a play directed and acted by her herself." Shi Chengyu said calmly, looked at her dazed expression and kissed her again, waiting for her to slowly accept it.
Shen Chutang's eyebrows were already knitted together, and his voice was somewhat unbelievable, "Why would she do this?"
After asking, she recalled what she had learned about Wen Zhi during this period. Her parents died when she was a sophomore in high school. She worked part-time and was admitted to University A. After entering the school, she studied while working part-time, and her grades were still among the top in the grade. Almost all of her classmates had a good impression of her, but they distanced themselves from her in some ways, including overtly and covertly.
"Tangtang, do you still want to go?" Shi Chengyu asked her softly.
Shen Chutang was a little confused. He frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Everything is ready. Let's go give it to her."
Wen Zhi stayed in the hospital for two days. She didn't expect Shen Chutang to come so soon. Shen Chutang was holding a bunch of sunflowers and smiling faintly.
The nurse helped her put away the other things she brought. Shen Chutang placed the flowers on the bedside cabinet. For a moment, he didn't know how to face her. He just said, "Thank you for protecting me that day. You are very brave and powerful."
The few times Wen Zhi received compliments in her life all came from the people in front of her, which instantly made her eyes wet. She shook her head, choking with sobs and unable to speak.
Wen Zhi really wanted to say that if she hadn't called her on purpose, she wouldn't have been targeted by Zheng Hao.
But at this moment, she was really greedy for this warm care.
Shen Chutang handed her a tissue and Wen Zhi wiped her tears, "Thank you, Miss Shen."
Shen Chutang smiled and said, "It's okay. Take good care of yourself and try to return to school as soon as possible."
Wen Zhi's eyes were red and she nodded. Shen Chutang handed her a notebook and said, "This is the notes I took in class these two days. I copied a copy for you."
