Chapter 27 Brothers and Sisters
When the people in the secretary's office saw her coming up, they all greeted her with smiles. Although they didn't know who this young lady was, anyone who could come and go freely in the president's office was probably not a simple person.
Shi Chengyu was probably in a meeting and Lin Shulang was not there either. Shen Chutang thanked the secretary who opened the door for her and went in to wait.
After a while, a secretary brought in two glasses of juice. When he was leaving, Shen Chutang just happened to see Shi Chengyu's back, and she quickly followed him out, "Brother Chengyu!"
After going out, Shen Chutang saw that there was another person standing next to him, wearing a neat and capable professional suit. When they heard her voice, they both turned around at the same time. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. This word suddenly appeared in her mind.
Shi Chengyu had already walked towards her and asked her with a smile, "Why aren't you waiting inside?"
Shen Chutang came back to his senses from his daze, "I just came out when I saw you."
"Mr. Shi, is this your sister? She's very cute."
Shen Chutang frowned and said subconsciously, "I'm not his sister."
The woman was surprised for a moment, "Sorry."
"Shulang, please see us off." Shi Chengyu squeezed her hand and said, "Let's go and have dinner."
Lin Shulang raised his hand and gestured, "Mr. Chen, this way please."
Chen Furui glanced at the two people walking away, then smiled at Lin Shulang. In the elevator, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Assistant Lin, that lady just now..."
"Mr. Chen, this is not within the scope of our business negotiations." Lin Shulan smiled faintly, showing his alienation.
Chen Furui smiled slightly awkwardly and said nothing more.
Upstairs, Shen Chutang curled his lips downwards and looked at Shi Chengyu who was smiling happily and asked, "Shi Chengyu."
"Am I your sister?"
Shen Chutang rarely called him by his full name, and this showed that she was angry.
Shi Chengyu was stunned for a moment. Of course, this wasn't the case. He looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong, Tangtang?"
Shen Chutang didn't know what was wrong. He just thought about the two of them standing together just now, and he felt uncomfortable and depressed for no reason. He didn't know how to describe it, nor how to say it out loud.
"Why did she say I was your sister?" Shen Chutang asked again, his voice much lower and his eyelashes trembling slightly.
Shi Chengyu said: "She guessed wrong, she——"
"Do we look like brother and sister?"
Shen Chutang asked stubbornly, with mixed emotions in his heart.
Shi Chengyu's heart trembled at her question, and he said hoarsely, "Not like that."
This statement is obviously not credible. The two are seven years apart in age. Shen Chutang is inexperienced and looks immature. Anyone who sees him would think they are brother and sister.
Shen Chutang didn't believe it. She was not Shi Chengyu's sister. This sentence was the only thing that kept going through her mind. She didn't know the other reasons for her irritability.
"Tangtang, be good. Those things are not important. Eat first." Shi Chengyu comforted her and touched her head.
Shen Chutang whispered that it was important, but did not ask any more questions. She ate her meal slowly. Even though she had no appetite, she waited until Shi Chengyu finished eating before putting down her chopsticks.
Shen Chutang said: "I want to go home first."
"good."
Shi Chengyu responded quickly, took her hand and walked out. Shen Chutang stared at the two people holding hands, lost in thought.
When they got downstairs, Shen Chutang suddenly pulled his hand away. Lin Shulang leaned over to open the back door, but Shen Chutang stepped forward, opened the passenger door and sat in.
Lin Shulang was stunned, and the driver was also stunned. After hesitating for a while, he unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, "Mr. Shi... this..."
"You guys drive other cars back." Shi Chengyu said, then walked around to the front, opened the door and got in.
Shen Chutang felt even more upset after seeing the driver get off the car, and he crossed his arms and sulked.
Shi Chengyu leaned over, fastened her seat belt, adjusted the seat, fastened her seat belt and started driving.
Half an hour later, the car stopped downstairs of the villa, but Shen Chutang still maintained the same posture as when he got in the car, with no intention of getting out.
Shi Chengyu unbuckled her seat belt, picked her up, and placed her on his lap. "What's wrong, dear?"
Shi Chengyu asked her softly, then lifted her chin and touched the corner of her eyes. Damn it.
Shen Chutang didn't cry, but the emotions in her heart that she had expressed made her depressed, and she didn't want to say anything. She leaned in Shi Chengyu's arms, her breathing was clear and shallow, her eyes drooped listlessly, and the light in her eyes seemed to be dimmed.
"What's wrong?" Shi Chengyu patted her back. "Didn't you say last time that if you have anything that makes you unhappy, you should tell Brother Chengyu? Hmm?"
But Shen Chutang couldn't tell what made her unhappy. Was it because she was mistaken for his sister? Yes, but also not.
She couldn't figure it out, so she didn't say anything.
Shi Chengyu asked her again, "Then how can we make Tangtang happy?"
Shen Chutang still didn't answer, and Shi Chengyu was also silent. For the first time, he couldn't guess what she was thinking.
He suddenly realized that Shen Chutang seemed to have grown up, and had secrets that she couldn't tell him, and he had no way of knowing or prying into them. She was no longer someone he could share with, and Tangtang was no longer the little girl who could talk to him about anything without any secrets.
Feeling a little sad, Shi Chengyu carried the person out of the car and comforted her softly, "It's okay, Tangtang. When you want to talk, just tell Brother Chengyu, okay?"
Shen Chutang nodded twice gently and hummed in a muffled voice.
The feeling of loss did not dissipate until she fell asleep, and she was not the only one who had trouble falling asleep.
The next day, Shi Chengyu sent her to school as usual, but after seeing her go upstairs, he waited there for a long time until Lin Shulan reminded him.
It was a rare occasion for Xie Tong to see Shen Chutang arrive later than her. Just as she was about to tease her, she noticed the faint dark circles under her eyes. She had fair skin, so any trace of it would be very obvious on her face.
"What's wrong with you, Tangtang? Didn't you sleep last night?"
Shen Chutang put down his schoolbag and lay on the table, "Hey... I can't explain it clearly."
Xie Tong was even more confused, and it was rare to see Shen Chutang looking so sad.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Shen Chutang glared at her and said, "It's hard to explain it clearly. I'll tell you after school."
These words kept Xie Tong hanging for the whole day. When the school bell rang, Xie Tong couldn't wait to help her pack her schoolbag, pulled her out, and quickly got on the bus.
Uncle Shang was stunned as he closed the car door for Shen Chutang and asked, "Miss, is there anything urgent today?"
Shen Chutang panted slightly, "No, no, let's go to the cat cafe later."
"Yes! Uncle Shang, please drive faster!" Xie Tong agreed. Shen Chutang was not anxious, but she was. It was a once-in-a-century opportunity to hear her talk about unhappy things from Shen Chutang!
Uncle Shang uttered twice, increased the speed, and drove very steadily.
The car stopped at the door of the cat cafe. Xie Tong got out quickly, then came over to open the door for Shen Chutang and walked inside holding her arm.
On the second floor, the two sat on the sofa. Xie Tong was chewing potato chips. After listening to Shen Chutang's words, the expression on his face was somewhat intriguing. "So... you were unhappy because you saw him standing with another woman?"
