Chapter 70 Adoption
"You still remember it!" Xie Tong was surprised, "I thought you didn't see it that day."
Shen Chutang fainted so quickly yesterday that she didn't even have time to react before she passed out, and Shi Chengyu took her away right after that.
Shen Chutang rolled her eyes at her, "I'm not blind, and someone told me that you brought the person back. What happened?"
Xie Tong said: "I met him in the alley yesterday. He gave me two sweet potatoes, and then we got to know each other. He seemed to be abandoned, without any family, and didn't know who he was, so I brought him back."
"Then what? What are you going to do?" Shen Chutang asked her.
Xie Tong sighed, "I haven't made up my mind yet, but he doesn't look like a bad guy. Now that we've brought him back, we can't just let him continue to wander around."
"It's a pity that he looks a bit silly. I wonder if there is something wrong with his brain."
If there were no problems, she really wanted him to take over the household chores on her behalf.
Shen Chutang saw her distracted and guessed what she was thinking. He pinched her face and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Even if you do, your uncle and aunt won't let you hand over the family property to an outsider."
"I told your uncle and aunt yesterday that you don't want to take over the family affairs. You can have a good talk with them. Next time, don't sneak away and make it difficult for everyone to find you."
"I know, Tangtang, I know you're the best." Xie Tong rubbed his head against her, and suddenly stopped, and said faintly, "Tangtang, what do you think about letting my parents adopt him?"
Shen Chutang was stunned, but Xie Tong thought more and more that this method was feasible. "He's not stupid, he's just slow to react. My parents adopted him, so he's not an outsider anymore!"
"What are you talking about, you little bitch!" Xie An came down the stairs and came over angrily. Considering Shen Chutang was trying his best to hold back, he said, "We are in the Shen family now, don't force me to beat you up!"
Xie Tong scurried around on the sofa and hid behind Shen Chutang. "Dad, don't get excited. Either you give birth to another son or adopt him."
The rage rushed straight to Tianling Gai'er. Xie An rushed over, his chest heaving violently with anger, "Xie Tong! Come here."
"Uncle Xie, Uncle Xie, Tongtong just said it casually, please calm down first." Shen Chutang stood between the two of them and explained.
"Xie Tong, get out of here."
Shi Chengyu came down from the building immediately after hearing the noise, walked to the sofa, picked up Shen Chutang and put her on the other side, "Does your legs and feet not hurt? Follow her and make trouble."
Shen Chutang said: "I'm fine. Brother Chengyu will tell you if I'm hurt."
Shi Chengyu just looked at her like that, and Shen Chutang gradually felt guilty. She didn't say it yesterday.
Xie Tong silently made a note of Shi Chengyu in her heart. Didn’t she know that Shen Chutang’s feet hurt? She avoided those who didn’t touch her, and finally found a place to hide!
"Let's go! Stop embarrassing yourself here and come home with me!"
Xie Tong hid behind him and said, "Dad, calm down first. Calm down. Let's talk."
Shen Chutang said, "Uncle Xie, please listen to Xie Tong first and let her finish her words."
Xie An glanced at Xie Tong and sat on the sofa. "Tell me, let me see what you can say."
"Dad, I don't mean anything else. I'm just too lonely." Xie Tong's momentum suddenly weakened. "Tangtang has three brothers. After school, there are always people to play with her. I'm alone after school."
Xie An was a little shocked. Seeing the disappointment on Xie Tong's face, his heart was shaken. His lips opened and closed, and finally he just sighed.
"You and mom sometimes come home very late, and I feel lonely at home alone. I don't mean to ask him to take over the family company. I must be at ease if he is in my own hands." Xie Tong moved over slowly, "I just said, adopt him first, I also want to have a brother, and you see he is silly and has no scheming, so he is easy to control."
"It's not like we can't afford to raise one. Just treat it as a companion for me, okay?"
Xie Tong spoke coquettishly and shook Xie An's arm.
Xie An was helpless. How could he not love his only daughter? "Xie Tong, we need to discuss this matter. Go back and discuss it with your mother."
"Okay, Dad, I knew you were the best." Xie Tong leaned his head on his arm and smiled brightly.
Shen Chutang also laughed. She didn't know how many people she had praised like this. It just came out of her mouth. Shen Chutang also laughed. She leaned crookedly on the sofa, her legs were gently rubbed, and she no longer felt any soreness.
Shi Chengyu just focused on massaging her legs. Her feet were wrapped in gauze and she was not wearing socks. After massaging her legs for a while, Shi Chengyu held her feet in his palms.
Xie An said, "Alright, alright, stop embarrassing yourself here and come home with me."
"Dad, please go back first. I still have something to talk to Tangtang about."
As soon as Xie Tong finished speaking, Shi Chengyu's eyebrows slightly frowned.
"That--"
Xie An's voice was interrupted by a phone ring. It was Liang Ying calling.
"When are you coming back? He insisted on going out to look for Xie Tong!"
Xie Tong jumped up from the sofa. She couldn't let this person get lost. She shouted into her phone, "Don't run out! I'll be back soon! Stand there and wait for me!"
The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent. "Okay."
"Tangtang, I'll come play with you tomorrow. I'm going back first." Xie Tong said, pulling Xie An's arm and running out, "Hurry up, Dad."
After a moment of chaos, the living room finally became quiet, with only Shen Chutang laughing softly.
Shi Chengyu held her in his arms, "Tangtang, don't let her come tomorrow."
"Why?" Shen Chutang asked knowingly, with a hint of cunning in her watery eyes.
Shi Chengyu said nothing. He pressed her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her on the top of her head. "Because I'm jealous."
He admitted it generously, and Shen Chutang trembled with laughter in his arms.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the sun had already set and the sky was dark, but inside the room was brightly lit and warm.
Shen Chutang asked softly: "Brother Chengyu, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Shi Chengyu's body froze for a moment, his Adam's apple twitching, and then he kissed her on the top of her head again, "No, Tangtang."
There was a sweet scent at the tip of his nose that made him feel soothed and happy. He sniffed it greedily, kissing it from time to time, and seemed to be satisfied.
Shen Chutang was already used to his rejection of her in this regard. The more he said no, the more Shen Chutang wanted to tease him, "But I want to sleep with you."
Those eyes were innocent and clear. Shi Chengyu smiled softly, shook his head helplessly, and sternly refused, "Tangtang, no."
Shen Chutang snorted, leaned back into his arms, and said, "Shi Chengyu, you are so heartless."
