Chapter 44 Slap
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Shen Chutang felt as if a cold wind had blown into her heart, chilling her whole body.
After a meaningless silent confrontation, Shen Chutang turned and walked away, his leather shoes clattering on the stone slabs.
Shi Chengyu panicked, and chased after her and grabbed her wrist, "Tangtang."
He couldn't explain whether it was a false rumor or his true practice.
"Don't touch me." Shen Chutang's voice was cold.
This was the first time in all these years that Shen Chutang spoke to Shi Chengyu like this, as if he was extremely disappointed.
Most people know that Shen Sichen has a serious cleanliness obsession. In fact, Shen Chutang is the same, and his cleanliness obsession on the mental level is even more serious.
She couldn't accept Shi Chengyu touching her with his hand that had touched someone else.
Shi Chengyu held her cold wrist and shuddered. For a moment, he didn't know whether his palm or his heart was colder, but he didn't dare to let go. "Tangtang, I can explain it to you, but not now. Let's go in first, okay?"
Shen Chutang didn't want to stay here anymore and just wanted to go home. She struggled twice, but Shi Chengyu held her tightly, and the hand holding her wrist didn't move at all.
"Why can't you tell me now?" Shen Chutang asked him, turning around and trying to wriggle his wrist free. "Shi Chengyu, I'm not a child anymore. I know everything."
She cried, her tone aggrieved and angry, and she didn't understand why he always kept things from her.
"Let me go."
Shi Chengyu also choked up, "Tangtang..."
“Pah—”
Before he could finish his words, Shen Chutang had already slapped him, and her palm was numb from the shock. She took advantage of Shi Chengyu's daze to pull her hand away, and turned away without any regrets.
Shi Chengyu quickly caught up with her, following her closely, not daring to say a word.
Before entering the banquet hall, Shen Chutang stood at the door for a while and wiped the tears from her face. Shi Chengyu put the suit on her shoulders and said softly, "It's clean."
Shen Chutang felt sad and upset. It turned out that he knew that she had a germaphobia.
She didn't say anything, just pulled off her clothes and threw them on the ground, then pushed the door open and went in.
Shi Chengyu watched the coat slip off her shoulders, and his heart seemed to fall to the ground at the same time.
He bent down, picked up his coat, put it over his arm, and followed him in.
The lights in the banquet hall were very bright, and the bright red slap mark on Shi Chengyu's face was too glaring. When he walked in, the whole banquet hall suddenly became quiet.
However, he seemed unaware and walked towards Shen Chutang.
Shen Chutang walked very fast, almost trotting to Shen Sujing's side, shaking all over, grabbing his sleeve, and almost unable to hold back his tears, "Brother, I want to go home."
Shen Sujing quickly took off his clothes and put them on her shoulders, patting her shoulders, "What's wrong? Okay, don't cry, I'll take you home."
Shen Chutang nodded, shaking violently.
Shen Sujing put his arm around her shoulders and walked out. Shi Chengyu caught up with them, but just followed behind.
Shen Sujing sent the person to the car, turned around and saw Shi Chengyu following him, and saw the slap mark on his face, "Brother Chengyu you..."
"Please help me apologize to Tangtang. I think her hand is a little swollen. She needs to apply ice pack when she gets home. It's cold outside today. I'll ask someone to make some ginger and jujube tea for her when I get home. I..." Suppressed crying sounded through the car window. Shi Chengyu couldn't say a word. He stepped back and said, "You can take her home first."
Shen Sujing was a little confused. He nodded at him, then opened the door and got into the car. His crying became louder and then softer. Shi Chengyu stood there like a corpse without a soul.
As soon as the car drove away, Shen Chutang burst into tears, leaning on Shen Sujing's shoulder and crying heart-wrenchingly. Her tears fell like beads from a broken string, soaking a large area of Shen Sujing's clothes on his shoulders.
Shen Sujing didn't know what happened. He patted her back and soothed her. "It's okay, it's okay, Tangtang. We'll be home soon."
Shen Chutang cried all the way until her voice was hoarse, and she lay listlessly in Shen Sujing's arms.
She finally calmed down. Shen Sujing didn't dare to ask her any questions. He sent her back to her room and watched her fall asleep before leaving.
Shen Chutang slept uneasily and woke up several times during the night. Each time she looked at her phone, only ten minutes or so passed. There were many messages on WeChat, but she didn't want to read any of them, so she simply turned off her phone.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Shen Sujing asked for leave for her, but she stayed in her room all day, saying that she did not get enough rest. She woke up and fell asleep again in a daze, and only ate a few bites of food.
He went to ask Shi Chengyu, but Shi Chengyu didn't tell him what happened and just asked him to take good care of Tangtang.
The slap mark on Shi Chengyu's face had faded away, leaving only a faint red mark.
Lin Shulang was shocked. Shi Chengyu hadn't rested for a day and a night, and he had to go to a meeting in another city tomorrow. He couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Shi, you should rest first. You have an important meeting tomorrow."
Shi Chengyu pinched his brows and asked, "Is it done over there?"
"Everything has been handled, Mr. Shi. This was my negligence." Lin Shulan felt very guilty. This was the first time he had made such a serious mistake since he started working.
Losing bonuses and performance is not a big deal, but if he loses his job, it will be difficult for him to find another job in Beijing.
Last night he received a message that someone was coming to the door of the banquet hall to look for Shi Chengyu. He rushed over and saw that it was Zhang Yueting. Instantly the alarm sounded and they were about to take the person away.
However, Zhang Yueting said that she just wanted to see Shi Chengyu, otherwise she would just make trouble here.
Lin Shulang made the most regretful decision in his life and brought the person in through the back door.
Shi Chengyu originally went downstairs to look for Shen Chutang, but after hearing what Lin Shulan said, he pondered for a moment, then thought of something and went to the back garden.
Zhang Yueting stood shivering in the cold wind, she was unwilling to accept it. Instead of being raised as a pet, she wanted to give it a try. What was the big deal about being kept, especially by someone like Shi Chengyu.
Seeing someone coming over, Zhang Yueting's frozen face forced a smile, "Mr. Shi."
Shi Chengyu did not answer, but just looked at her wearing the white dress, which was very similar to the one Shen Chutang wore last time in Switzerland, and frowned deeply.
"I heard...that the person Mr. Shi likes is not yet an adult?" Zhang Yueting asked. He didn't expect that such a cruel person would still have such a moral bottom line.
"What do you want to say?" Shi Chengyu's face suddenly turned cold.
"Since President Shi has spent money to support me, I am naturally willing to do more. What she can't give President Shi, I can."
Zhang Yueting walked closer and closer, her heart beating fast, but she held her breath and approached Shi Chengyu.
Shi Chengyu dodged in time when she suddenly pounced on him, and looked coldly at the person lying on the ground, "You think too highly of yourself."
Her frozen arms and knees fell to the ground, burning with pain. Zhang Yueting watched the pair of leather shoes passing by her without any hesitation, as if she was afraid that if she was a second slower, something dirty would get stuck on them. She suddenly understood that Shi Chengyu did not have a moral bottom line, but he only gave all his tenderness to that one person.
