Chapter 26 (2/2)

If he had just suspected that Shen Yu knew about his a.s.sociation with Lei Yumeng, now he is quite sure that Shen Yu not only knows about it, but also knows all of the bullying Lei Yumeng suffered, and that he has been standing idly by.

Thinking of this, Tang Li suddenly felt cold all over.

“Shen Yu…” He cried out, “It's not what you think…”

Shen Yu couldn't bear it. He grabbed the wheelchair arm and raised his voice, “What else can it look like?”

Tang Li was stunned, and his voice stopped abruptly. He looked at Shen Yu timidly.

“Tang Li, I have asked you many times, but every time you lie, you never tell me the truth.” Shen Yu's eyes were filled with such a thick sense of disappointment that it could not be concealed. “I always thought you were just playing a game of puppy love, but I didn't expect you to do more than I imagined. You used those people to bully that girl!”

“Shen Yu, it's not like that…” For the first time, Tang Li's always cold face showed a truly panicked expression. He shook his head like a rattle drum and went to grasp Shen Yu's hand.

But the next second, Shen Yu was relentlessly moved away.

“Don't touch me.” Shen Yu's voice was ice cold.

“If she hadn't badgered me and threatened me with you, I would never have done anything like that.” Tang Li's face and body were covered with cake. He looked extremely confused. His voice trembled as he explain, “Everything that Lei Yumeng has suffered is her own fault.”

Shen Yu coldly smiled, “Just because she was pestering you, you used others to force her to commit suicide at school?”

Tang Li said, “I am not the one who bullied her, nor am I the one who made her commit suicide.”

Hearing this, Shen Yu's temples throbbed suddenly. He put his hand on his forehead and said angrily, “What's the difference between you and those people? It's just that the blood wasn't spilled directly on your hands that you can say such indifferent things. Don't forget, you are the murderer who indirectly led to Lei Yumeng's suicide! “

How can you be so cruel?

How can you watch a girl be bullied because of you?

How can you act as if it had nothing to do with you afterwards?

For a time, numerous questions and exclamations filled Shen Yu's mind. His mood was unstable, he leaned on the wheelchair and gasped slightly. His hot eyes seemed to penetrate Tang Li's body.

He sighed in a low voice, “I thought I could change you and pull you back from that dark road. Until now, I didn't realize that those peoples' maliciousness has already penetrated into your bones. You were born like that. You are you. I can't change you.”

After a pause, he said, “Tang Li, do you have feelings?”

Shen Yu did not get a reply from Tang Li.

He didn't even know whether Tang Li understood his words or not.

Shen Yu abandoned his gaze and suddenly lost the energy to observe Tang Li's reaction. After Aunt Chen and others cleaned up the living room, he waved his hand and asked the servants to leave first.

Then he asked Uncle Zhang, “Is there any real estate near the school?”

Uncle Zhang bowed his head and answered empathically, “There are two places. One is in Guiyuan district. It's only ten minutes away from Shenghua International School. The other one is in Lugang District. It's a high rise with more than 200 levels. It takes half an hour to drive to school. It's also better in security and more convenient for transportation.”

“You decide.” Shen Yu closed his eyes tiredly and rubbed his eyebrows. “I'll send Tang Li with you later. From now on, let him live there and come back once a month.”

Before Uncle Zhang could respond, Tang Li had collapsed and yelled, “Why?!”

Shen Yu opened his eyes and stared lightly at the shocked Tang Li: “I can't teach you anymore.”

After a few seconds, he added, “But since I promised you that I would bring you up, I will keep my promise. You don't have to worry about that.”

Tang Li stared directly at Shen Yu, it was if he was looking at someone he had never seen before.

Gradually, the dark eyes of Tang Li became covered in a layer of watery mist, and the sorrow lingering in the bottom of his eyes seemed to overflow.

Tang Li moved his lips and spoke in an incredible tone: “All this for the sake of Lei Yumeng?”

Shen Yu sneered: “It has nothing to do with her.”

“Then what is it? Or is it you disliked me for a long time and now you have a reasonable excuse to kick me out?”

Shen Yu noticed that Tang Li was approaching a breaking point. He raised his eyes to the red eyes of Tang Li. He felt terrible. He frowned and said, “It's not like that.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yu saw several crystal tears rolling out of Tang Li's eyes.

Then the tears came out like beads with broken threads.

Tang Li did not feel them at all, his eyes were scary red, and a few visible green veins appeared on his forehead. He seemed to be trying to suppress his emotions. He tried to speak calmly, “If I didn't do that, Lei Yumeng would still pester me and stay outside my cla.s.sroom day after day, just like Jenny Yang is pestering you.”

Shen Yu was stunned and murmured, “Although I don't like Jenny Yang, I wouldn't do anything to hurt her.”

“That's why you gave her the chance to continue to pester you.”

Shen Yu was suddenly stunned into silence, and his unbelieving eyes wandered around Tang Li figure several times.

He could hardly believe that…

This sentence was uttered from the mouth of an eleven-year-old child.

At the same time, Tang Li continued: “Your refusal isn't firm, you give her the chance to hope, even if she follows you around like a dog you don't do anything about it. Your behavior makes her believe that as long as she takes the initiative and stay persistent, then one day sooner or later she'll be Mrs. Shen.”

Shen Yu, with a blue face, slapped the armrest of his wheelchair in anger: “At least she was not forced to commit suicide because of me!”

Tang Li spoke, his gaze locked on Shen Yu's own eyes, “You're such a bad man.”

Hearing this, Shen Yu was so angry that he even breathed a little unsteadily. In an instant, his heart burst into flames and his mouth burst out words before his brain could process them: “Exactly, if I were not such a bad man, how could I take in a troubled teenager like you?”

After the words fell, the whole room was dead silent.

Tang Li did not make any more noise and instead went directly into a robotic state.

Shen Yu's reason gradually returned. Finally, he realized what he had said and immediately softened his heart. “Chestnut, I…”

Tang Li did not give him an opportunity to explain, but turned around and left.

Soon, Tang Li's back disappeared from Shen Yu's sight.

Uncle Zhang looked at Shen Yu and went out quietly without saying a word.

Winter nights come early.

Just before 8 o'clock in the evening, the sky outside the windows had been already been covered by the heavy cloak of night. Looking at it, it was like a strong and huge curtain, which covered all the light tightly.

“It's going to snow tonight.” Aunt Chen looked out of the window and said.

Shen Yu sat beside the sofa and played with his mobile phone. He listened and looked up at the dark night sky outside the window. He said, “It's only December now. Why is it snowing so early?”

“It snowed at this time last year.” Aunt Chen turned around and said uncertainly, “I think the weather forecast says that, even if it doesn't snow tonight, it may snow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”

Shen Yu: ”Oh…”

He kept looking down at his cell phone, but he couldn't see the content on the screen.

Aunt Chen watched Shen Yu's absent-minded reaction. She sighed, not knowing how to comfort Shen Yu.

Although Aunt Chen and other servants were dismissed by Shen Yu before he and Tang Li quarreled earlier this evening, she clearly saw Tang Li walking towards the gate in the front yard, and Uncle Zhang did not say a word.

It seems that this time there is a lot of trouble…

Whether it's Shen Yu or Tang li, both are in a bad mood this evening.

Aunt Chen hesitated for a while and advised, “Sir, it's not early in the evening. How about going upstairs to rest.”

“Em.” Shen Yu nodded, then picked up his cell phone, and manipulated his wheelchair to take the elevator upstairs. Suddenly, he thought of something and told Aunt Chen, “If Uncle Zhang comes back, tell him come to my bedroom to find me, I won't go to sleep quite yet.”

Aunt Chen answered, “Yes sir.”

Maybe it's because Shen Yu was so worried that even though he was sitting on his bed after taking a bath, he really didn't feel sleepy at all.

He thought for a long time, finally, he picked up the mobile phone that had been placed on the bedside table, and dialed Uncle Zhang's phone nervously.

After a second call, he was connected. Uncle Zhang's voice was intentionally lowered when speaking into his mobile phone: “Sir, I am accompanying young master Tang Li outside. There is nothing to worry about. Please rest a.s.sured.”

Shen Yu asked, “Where are you?”

“Lei Yumeng's front door.” Uncle Zhang said, “She left the hospital this afternoon and went home. Young master Tang Li has been keeping watch in front of her house.”

Shen Yu felt very strange: “What's he going to do?”

Uncle Zhang answered truthfully, “I don't know.”
