Chapter 97 [97] Something has been put down.
Shen Yu's fingertips were cramping and he couldn't move.
His dark eyes were filled with thick mist, holding her tightly, as if she would disappear in the next second.
"I've thought of several themes for the engagement party. Western-style is popular now, but I think Chinese is also nice. I'm just not sure which one to choose. For the wedding candy, do you think chocolate or toffee would be better? Oh, and we need new clothes. You need to go to a tailor and have them take your measurements."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Can you wait a moment?"
Shen Yu asked: "When can we tell you?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "You can tell me after you finish handling this."
Shen Yu remained motionless and asked, "Nothing's going to change, is it?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Yes."
Shen Yu turned around and walked out, standing in the corridor like a sculpture, not allowing anyone to approach.
Li Mu's eyes were blank: "What do you mean?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "That's what you saw. I'm getting engaged to Shen Yu, and we'll get married in the future."
Li Mu's thin eyelids bulged with clear liquid, and his lips trembled. "Why, it was him?"
"Can it be me?"
Tang Yuanyuan just found it unbelievable: "I never knew you had such thoughts."
"You, how could that be?"
They were just partners in business. Li Mu was a selfish and cold-hearted person, full of hostility towards the whole world. He was like a lone wolf, and he disliked everyone.
What he pursues is rough and direct: money, lots of money.
Tang Yuanyuan often felt that he was the same as herself, not believing in human hearts and not yearning for love.
Li Mu seemed to have fallen into an abyss. He became an orphan at the age of ten and was raised by the murderer of his father. He had to listen to all kinds of obscene words from Zhao Shun and his mother.
He thought he would be alone for the rest of his life, but when a load of goods arrived and a sack was thrown in, there was one more person in his family.
When he called out to someone, Tang Yuanyuan would tilt her head and respond, "What's up?"
He no longer ate alone, they did business together, she fought with him, and never left him when he was in danger.
He had someone to keep him company.
The world doesn't seem so disgusting anymore.
He thought they would continue like this.
How could this happen?
She, like herself, is full of disgust towards the world. How could she marry another person?
Li Mu didn't understand.
They are the two most suitable people to spend their lives together.
"I don't agree to this marriage!"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Getting engaged is my own business."
Li Mu said, "Tang Yuanyuan, I used to live alone. I was living a good life on my own, but you suddenly barged in."
"You fucking barged into my life!"
"I know what loneliness is. You made me no longer lonely. You can't abandon me and go with someone else."
They are all Shen Yu.
It must have been Shen Yu who seduced her.
It's all Shen Yu's fault.
Tang Yuanyuan chased after him and stood in front of Shen Yu, "If you want to hit him, hit me first."
Li Mu stared at Tang Yuanyuan with his eyes almost popping out, staggered back two steps in disbelief, turned around and strode away.
Tang Yuanyuan: "Where are you going? Your car is not running."
Li Mu just walked away without looking back, and he himself didn't even know where he could go or where he should go.
Shanghai is a very prosperous city with many people. He stood at the intersection and couldn't find the direction he should go.
Who would care about him?
Who should he care about?
At this time, lights are on in every household, and children are led home by their parents with their schoolbags on their backs. After a day's work, tired people return home.
Where is his home?
Because Tang Yuanyuan was going to take the Shanghai Stock Exchange entrance exam, he pushed himself to the limit and was admitted to the University of Finance and Economics.
Time and again, they boarded overcrowded trains, carrying heavy cargo, all they wanted was to get home as soon as possible.
Now, he has everything. He no longer has to squeeze into crowded trains, carry heavy goods, drive to and from work, or do the work with his own hands. However, the person who went home with her is lost.
He was abandoned and became an orphan again.
Li Mu squatted down unconsciously and started to cry like a wounded little animal.
In the car, Shen Yu pinched Tang Yuanyuan's wrist. Their wedding ring was still on her finger, matching her so well. "You've already abandoned me once. Are you going to abandon me again?"
Being abandoned once is enough.
He couldn't bear to be abandoned again.
Tang Yuanyuan said: "If I am destined to disappoint one of you and Li Mu, I will only choose him."
Shen Yu still laced his fingers between hers, interlocking them tightly, his throat choking: "Thank you."
"Thank you." Choose me.
Tang Yuanyuan got out of the car and walked step by step to Li Mu.
She had known him for so many years, and this was the first time she saw him cry. She had no idea what to do.
Li Mu saw the tip of the shoe in front of him, raised his head, and his face was still covered with tears. "You should break up with him, break up."
Tang Yuanyuan just looked at him calmly.
Li Mu stood up, took two steps back, hailed a taxi, got in, and left.
Tang Yuanyuan saw his car heading towards the residential complex and was worried, so she called Li Mu's dormitory and asked his younger brother Xu Fei to go look after Li Mu.
Thinking that Yu Fangfang happened to live downstairs from Li Mu, he called her landline and asked her to look after the child.
Yu Fangfang went upstairs for a walk and came back to call Tang Yuanyuan: "He is back, but he is in a very bad mood. He almost wanted to eat me."
Tang Yuanyuan rubbed his forehead and said, "It's okay. I've asked his classmates to accompany him."
Yu Fangfang moved the phone to the sofa, leaned back and said while talking on the phone: "Tang Yuanyuan, what can I say about you? When it comes to feelings, you are an idiot." She had said long ago that Li Mu must be interested in her, but she still didn't believe it.
Tang Yuanyuan was feeling irritated and had no time for small talk: "Just keep an eye on it. If there's any obvious movement, call me."
Yu Fangfang hung up the phone when she heard the door open. She was so startled that she jumped off the sofa and picked up a fruit knife.
Wang Erniu walked in from outside holding a key and a backpack on his shoulder.
Yu Fangfang held her heart and said, "I was so scared. I thought a thief came in. Why did you come back?"
Wang Erniu scratched his hair: "I live here."
Yu Fangfang was speechless. "Doesn't your dad have a large flat? Why did he send you back after just one day? You're his only son, and you never fulfilled your fatherly responsibilities when you were little. So, even if he wants to die, there's no one to collect his body? Take me to see him, and I'll scold him to death."
"I came back on my own initiative," Wang Erniu said happily, "Come downstairs with me. I have something good to show you."
Yu Fangfang was downstairs and saw a luxurious big BMW!
Wang Erniu smiled innocently and took out his car keys: "From now on, when you drive this to the crew, no one will dare to bully you."
Yu Fangfang: "I drive?"
"And this!" Wang Erniu took out a new pager from his backpack: "Take this, you can make calls anytime, anywhere."
Yu Fangfang pouted sourly. This cheap daddy is really useful: "Your dad bought it for you, what should I do with it? Come on, just use it yourself."
Wang Erniu said naively: "I don't need it. I don't have many friends to call."
Yu Fangfang: "Wang Erniu, what do you mean?"
Wang Erniu: "That's right, these are all yours."
Yu Fangfang: "Alas, you are now considered a little prince. How can you meet people without some equipment? Stop talking nonsense and learn from your father to manage the factory."
"I don't like managing a factory," Wang Erniu said. "I'm just a nobody. I just want to follow you, protect you, be your bodyguard, and make you happy."
Yu Fangfang even suspected that she had heard it wrongly: "Are you stupid?"
Wang Erniu said carefully: "It's best to follow you."
If it weren't for Yu Fangfang, he would probably still be a gangster, no, he would have been in jail a long time ago.
Yu Fangfang ensured that he had enough to eat, gave him a salary, and allowed him to learn skills.
She would tease him with sweet cakes and give him soda. Although she always called him a stupid girl, she always smiled happily.
He just wants to live like this for the rest of his life.
Yu Fangfang's father had an accident, but fortunately, he is rich now and can let Yu Fangfang continue to live her previous life.
Yu Fangfang squinted her eyes and said, "You really are a big stupid ox!"
Wang Erniu just smiled innocently and took out the money again: "Ah, there is still money!"
"You have money to spend on the cake."
It was impossible for Yu Fangfang not to go to work. Selling cakes was only a temporary job. She didn't want to completely accept Wang Erniu's captivity. However, it felt so good to take a ride in the BMW with her cell phone. She wanted to show off.
So he called Tang Yuanyuan's PHS: "I also have a BMW, and I also have a PHS."
Tang Yuanyuan was stunned: "Ah?!"
"You robbed a bank?"
Wang Erniu was cooking in the kitchen. Yu Fangfang was lying on the sofa with her back facing up. She looked at him through the glass window with a smile in her eyes. “This is from my knight, presented to me.”
Tang Yuanyuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought while looking at the Xiaolingtong.
Shen Yu saw her in a rare daze and approached her from behind: "What are you thinking about?"
Tang Yuanyuan raised her lips in a gentle arc: "I think there are still more good men in the world."
When she didn't know, Shen Yu and Li Mu were taking care of her silently.
Shen Yu asked, "Are you worried about Li Mu? Are you going to see your brother?"
"No," Tang Yuanyuan had just been thinking about this matter carefully. "This case happened several years ago. There is no witness or evidence. If I lose my composure under Tang An's threats, I will really harm Li Mu."
Why did Tang An suddenly bring up this old story?
It seems that Cloud Forest's financial situation is already very bad.
Yes, he originally thought that he could exhaust himself, but now, his store might be destroyed. He must be really desperate and want to do something desperate.
Li Mu lay in bed thinking all night, then took his passbook and car keys and went directly to Shen's.
"Sir, sir, you don't have an appointment, you can't see us Shen"
Li Mu just barged in. Shen Yu waved his hand, motioning for his secretary to leave, and asked, "What would you like to drink, coffee or soda?"
Li Mu's face was so gloomy that it could drip water. With a "bang", he slammed the things on the table: "There are 600,000 yuan and a car in here. I will return them all to you."
"Give Tang Yuanyuan back to me."
Shen Yu glanced at the two things. These were probably all he had. "Take them back. I won't give them to you."
Li Mu: "You were born with everything you wanted. I only have Tang Yuanyuan. Give her back to me."
Shen Yu: "I have everything, but the one I want most is only Tang Yuanyuan."
"You're not the only one who has made sacrifices. I've also been waiting for her for six years."
It took a very long, very long time to wait.
*
Qian Tingting collected the lunch box and asked Tang Yuanyuan worriedly, "What happened between you and Li Mu? He barely touched his meal today."
For three whole days, neither of them spoke. Li Mu had a frozen face all day long, and she felt cold when she was within one meter of him.
Ever since Tang Yuanyuan asked her to leave work early that day, the atmosphere between the two of them has been very strange. Whenever Tang Yuanyuan comes to the company, Li Mu will take the car keys and leave.
Tang Yuanyuan also had a headache. It wasn't that she wanted to have a cold war with Li Mu, but that Li Mu was in a cold war with her now.
"Nothing, there's something he can't get over. He'll be fine after a few days."
Qian Tingting asked again: "Have you had dinner yet? Do you want me to buy you food?"
Tang Yuanyuan shook her head: "I've already eaten. Come with me to the new store to check the progress."
Qian Tingting: "Then let's go now. It's going to be the evening rush hour soon, and if we're any later the workers will be off work."
The workers were still busy with some minor matters with the scraps, but the overall decoration had been completed. Tang Yuanyuan carefully checked some hardware details and was very satisfied. As expected, a professional repair company should be a large store to be reliable.
Small-scale companies are short-sighted and sometimes use inferior materials to pass off as good ones. Although large companies are more expensive, the quality is guaranteed. She decided to cooperate with regular large companies in the future.
After Tang Yuanyuan and Qian Tingting finished the inspection, they walked out of the store with satisfaction and locked the door.
An old lady wearing a baseball cap walked over here, holding a plastic bottle with the lid unscrewed.
Just then, Shen Yu called at this time. Tang Yuanyuan lowered her head to answer the phone and didn't pay attention.
"Have you returned home yet?"
"I just came out of the store. It will probably take an hour to go back now."
"I'll be home about then."
"Then I"
"Go to hell!" Under the baseball cap, the old man's eyes burst with hatred. He swung the bottle in his hand and splashed it towards Tang Yuanyuan's face with a hearty smile on his face.
"Go away!"
In the office, Shen Yu suddenly stood up from his chair: "What's wrong? What happened?"
On the other side came a noisy, heart-wrenching cacophony of sounds.
At the critical moment, Qian Tingting rushed over and knocked the bottle in the old woman's hand to the ground. A burst of corrosive liquid flowed on the floor, emitting white smoke.
Qian Tingting cried out "Ah" and held her hands. The piercing pain made cold sweat appear on her forehead.
Her hands were splashed with sulfuric acid.
Tang Yuanyuan grabbed the old woman and knocked off her hat. It was Mrs. Wu!
Tang Yuanyuan wanted to strangle her to death: "Are you sick? Your son killed my mother, and you still want to hurt me!"
"I think you want to spend the rest of your life in jail!"
Mrs. Wu's eyes were filled with hatred. She said, "As long as I can destroy you, what does it matter if I go to jail? I'd even die in there."
Tang Yuanyuan was so angry. Tang An was so cruel. If it weren't for Qian Tingting, his face would have been ruined. "You're not afraid, are you? It doesn't matter. Your grandson should be five years old now. If you harm me, I will bully your grandson and make him unable to get ahead in his life."
Mrs. Wu burst into tears, her eyes filled with despair: "How dare you mention my grandson!"
"You don't have to bully him anymore. He's dying and won't live for many days."
"He has a hole in his heart. If you hadn't ordered Li Mu to rob me of 20,000 yuan, how could we be in such a difficult situation? We can't even afford surgery. My son's death atones for your mother's death. It's not enough, you also want my grandson's life. You want to take his life, you want my life. Why are you looking for my grandson? He's so young, he's only three years old."
The veins on Tang Yuanyuan's forehead were bulging.
Tang An, you are so vicious!
He is a poisonous snake!
Tang Yuanyuan: "It was Tang An who instigated you, wasn't it? I didn't steal your money, he did. You've taken revenge on the wrong person. Also, if you're willing to point out Tang An, I can pay for your grandson's surgery."
Mrs. Wu said madly, "Don't try to deceive me. I begged you so much back then. You wanted to kill my son, but I won't fall for your tricks. It was you who ordered Li Mu to steal my money. I'm going to tell the police and send you all to jail!"
Tang Yuanyuan sneered: "You go to jail first."
When the incident happened, Qian Tingting immediately ran back to the store, wiped it off with a towel, and then rinsed it with plenty of cold water. However, sulfuric acid is too corrosive, and the area on her hand that was splashed was five centimeters long, which would leave scars in the future.
Tang Yuanyuan stared at the rotten spot on her hand, her eyes slightly moist as she asked, "Are you stupid? You rushed into something like this? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Qian Tingting said: "I swore to Li Mu before that if there is any danger, I must protect you. This is what I should do."
Tang Yuanyuan was surprised: "Did you swear to Li Mu?"
"Well," Qian Tingting said, "At that time, my family members were always causing trouble. Li Mu was very afraid that I would bring trouble to you. She made me swear that if there was any danger, I would protect you and would never bring trouble to you."
Tang Yuanyuan didn't expect that there was another reason why Li Mu disliked Qian Tingting.
The two of them walked out of the hospital together. As soon as they got out of the elevator, Shen Yu was like a gust of wind, passing through the crowd in the hall and running to Tang Yuanyuan. He nervously hugged her tightly in his arms and checked her up and down before he was relieved. Seeing Qian Tingting's burnt flesh again, fear and terror flashed in his pupils, and he hugged Tang Yuanyuan tightly in his arms again:
"Fortunately, fortunately you are okay."
"Very good!"
Qian Tingting could hear the sadness in her heart. Seeing them hugging each other, she felt relieved and smiled slightly.
