Chapter 17 (2/2)

The girl clenched her chopsticks, bit her lip, and summoned up courage to throw the topic to Shen Yu, who was serving Chestnut vegetables. “Mr. Shen, do you remember these things?”

Shen Yu, who had been ignoring the pair, raised his head. He turned to the girl looking slightly ashamed and said in embarra.s.sment. “Sorry, I didn't catch what you were talking about just now.”

Girl: “…”

Elder Shen was so angry that he slapped the table. “I asked you to come over for dinner, but did you really eat honestly!? Why don't you listen to me honestly when I'm trying to help you get married?”

Shen Yu immediately apologized, “I'm sorry.”

Elder Shen was so angry that his eyes were burning even in front of outsiders. Thankfully, he didn't swear at Shen Yu as usual.

The girl was not a fool, after a meal together she could mostly understand Shen Yu's intentions towards her.

But Shen Yu met her criteria for spouse selection in all respects: he was tall and slender, handsome, capable, well-off, and had no complicated relations.h.i.+ps with other women.

The one drawback is that he was temporarily unable to walk after the accident.

However, Elder Shen said that Shen Yu had recently been actively carrying out rehabilitation exercises, and that sooner or later he would be able to walk again.

After he regains his ability to walk, Shen Yu will be more popular than he is now. It's not exaggerated to say that her rivals will stretch from here to France, so before that, she wants to seize the opportunity.

Get Shen Yu!

The girl's face was slightly pale. She looked at Shen Yu's clear and beautiful face with complicated eyes and a ripple in her heart.

She opened her lips and was about to speak, but she was interrupted by the little boy next to Shen Yu.

“Big brother…” Tang Li's lips were white, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his little hands were firmly grasping Shen Yu's arm. It looked painful. “My stomach hurts…”

“Chestnut! What's wrong with you?!” Shen Yu had no idea that Tang Li, who had been fine the previous second, would suddenly become like this. Suddenly, he panicked. He touched the forehead of Tang Li and said, “No fever. Did you eat the wrong thing?”

Elder Shen and the girl quickly got up from the dining table. The girl stood still while Elder Shen hurried to check the situation of Tang Li.

“Maybe it's something he ate.” Elder Shen was distressed.

Shen Yu did not know if there was a problem with the food tonight, but now it was not the time to investigate the cause. He took a deep breath and tried to keep calm. Then he took out his mobile phone and dialed Uncle Zhang's telephone.

Uncle Zhang finished his meal in a nearby restaurant and was ready to browse around. When he got the call, he said he would come back immediately.

Shen Yu, with a calm face, sat down with Tang Li in his lap and asked the servant to bring painkillers and warm water.

At this time, Tang Li's forehead has been soaked with a thin layer of sweat, his lips went from pale pink to dark green, the small villain's beautiful Phoenix eyes closed, long curled eyelashes slightly trembling.

It looks pitiful.

Shen Yu felt his nerves tightening.

“Chestnut, are you okay?” Shen Yu wrapped the thin blanket, that was handed to him by the servant, around Tang Li, and held the little villain tightly in his arms. In spite of the cold sweat on the little villain's head, Shen Yu kissed his forehead and said, “I'll take you to the hospital, can you bear it a little longer?”

Tang Li was in so much pain that he could not hear anything, and his body started trembling.

Without a word, the villain buried his head in Shen Yu's arms, and held his hands tightly around Shen Yu's waist, as if he wished to merge with Shen Yu.

At this moment, Elder Shen put the affair of blind date to the back of his mind and followed Shen Yu's wheelchair step by step. He spoke in a guilty voice, “Little Yu, let me go with you. I'm worried about Chestnut.”

Hearing Eleder Shen's voice, Shen Yu remembered that he had been sticking to Tang Li in order to appease him and had completely forgotten Elder Shen.

“That's all right, Grandpa. I'll take Chestnut.” Shen Yu pushed the wheelchair to the door with one hand while holding Tang Li in his arms with the other. He smiled and comforting Elder Shen said, “I'll call you later with news.”

After all, there was something wrong with his family's child. Elder Shen's att.i.tude was no longer as brutal as before. After Shen Yu spoke, he sighed and agreed, “Remember to call.”

After taking Shen Yu and Tang Li downstairs by elevator, Elder Shen returned home in despair.

Then he saw the girl sitting tightly on the sofa in the living room waiting.

“Grandpa Shen.” The girl got up and called out.

“Little Yang, I'm really sorry to have you run over for nothing today. I didn't expect such an accident to happen.” Mr. Shen said in a somewhat low voice.

“Grandpa, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault.” Girls laughed, but despite laughing she felt bitter inside. She didn't know if it is her illusion, but the little boy seems to be very hostile to her.

The little boy even suddenly fell ill…

There's also a weird lingering feeling.

It felt like this incident was deliberately directed at her.
