Chapter 156: It's Too Bitter
Meng Wanyi hasn't arrived home yet, and her news has already reached Shen Tingzhou's ears.
The reason is that when Lu Yu went to the police station to follow up on the progress of Shen Zhiqiu's car accident case, he happened to bump into Ji Bai and Meng Wanyi coming out of the police station.
After learning the lesson of the last time, Lu Yu would not dare to chase the wind and catch the shadow casually.
After finding someone to understand the situation, he communicated with Shen Tingzhou.
As soon as Meng Wanyi entered the door, she felt that Shen Tingzhou's aura was not quite right.
The face was calm, and the bulging muscles on his arms faintly implied that Meng Wanyi was trying his best to control his emotions.
Meng Wan suddenly remembered today's events, and was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.
On the dining table, there is a rare silence, and the sound of the quiet bone china spoon hitting the wall of the bowl is very clear.
Shen Tingzhou looked at Meng Wanyi, who was concentrating on eating, his heart was surging, he was waiting for Meng Wanyi to take the initiative to tell him what happened today.
But until the end of the meal, Shen Tingzhou didn't hear Meng Wanyi take the initiative to mention what happened to her today.
She acted like a nobody, removing makeup, taking a bath, taking skincare, and listening to prenatal music.
After Shen Tingzhou saw Meng Wanyi close the bedroom door, a self-deprecating smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, walked to the sofa and spread it there like a mess of mud, tilted his head and covered the light from the lamp on the ceiling with the back of his hand.
As if sensing his low mood, Custard Bun kept arching the dog's head into his palm, and let him push it away again and again, it ran to him again and again, like not having a long memory, wagging its tail happily, and expressing its concern warmly.
And the volcano nesting at the other end of the sofa, the moment he saw Shen Tingzhou coming over, he jumped down from the sofa, hid out of his reach, and stared at him vigilantly with cat's eyes like glass balls.
Shen Tingzhou suddenly felt a powerless and sad emotion spread out of his body.
He took good care of the volcano for a long time, raised it to 15 pounds, delicious food and drink, a separate cat room, countless toys, a wall of canned food, a luxurious cat climbing frame, bathing and combing and shoveling feces.
But it still doesn't get close to him, it doesn't touch it, it runs when it gets close, and it shows its claws when it touches its belly.
Only greedy people will be perfunctory for some rations, but it is also fleeting, as fast as a meteor crossing the sky.
So in its heart, can't it replace Jin Can?
These days, the two have gotten along, although the surface is calm, but Shen Tingzhou knows that there have always been many problems between him and Meng Wanyi.
The past three years have passed like a white horse, but they have really stabbed each other in the heart.
To this day, Meng Wanyi still erects a high wall to him in her heart, and she doesn't want to say anything to him, whether it's good or bad, sad, or happy.
He wasn't the one she confided in.
Just like today, when such a dangerous thing happened, she didn't even show a trace of emotion in front of him.
Shen Tingzhou knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, but he still couldn't control his uneasiness and jealousy.
At the beginning, he deceived himself, it doesn't matter if he can't get his heart, it's good if he is around, but after getting along for a long time, he wants to get the same love as Meng Wanyi.
I can't ask for it, it's too bitter.
He could, as before, pretend not to care about turning the page over again, it wasn't difficult, as long as he lowered his head, it wouldn't make a splash.
Of course, strong self-esteem will be frustrated, but it is not the most important thing, the future of him and Meng Wanyi needs him to fight, he has to take the initiative, and they may have a future.
But today, the heart is too uncomfortable, he needs to calm down, he can't lose his temper at her, he can't lose his temper at the baby.
After doing a good job of mental construction, Shen Tingzhou went to the bathroom to wash his face.
After a while, he took the thermos cup into the master bedroom.
On the bed, Meng Wanyi had fallen asleep, but the book in her hand had not yet been put down.
Shen Tingzhou walked over lightly, put the thermos cup at the head of the bed, and then helped her pull out the book, clipped a bookmark for her to mark, and put the book at the head of the bed after finishing it.
After doing this, Shen Tingzhou tucked the quilt for Meng Wanyi, and then raised his feet and went out.
Tranquility has returned to the interior.
Meng Wanyi opened her eyes not long after Shen Tingzhou left.
This is the only time in two months that Shen Tingzhou has not cheekily climbed into bed.
She rolled on the bed with the quilt in her arms, and rolled until she didn't fall asleep at all.
Damn it.
Meng Wanyi didn't know where her irritable feeling came from, her eyes touched the thermos cup at the head of the bed, she suddenly took it with a little dry mouth and poured a few sips.
It's not hot or cold, it's just right.
When she put the glass back, she saw the neat wool slips placed next to the bed, where she could reach them.
But she remembers that before going to bed, the slippers weren't like that.
Meng Wanyi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
She could hint that she was going to resist Shen Tingzhou's touch, but she couldn't control herself from being defeated by these gentleness.
Meng Wanyi sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and finally got up and went to the second bedroom.
Shen Tingzhou was probably still thinking about something before going to bed, and even if he fell asleep, his brows were still tightly furrowed.
Her fingertips paused three centimeters away from the tip of his eyebrows, and she retracted as if she had been electrocuted, covering her heartbeat, and she fled from Shen Tingzhou's room.
-
Shen Wanqing felt that he had to treat Shen Tingzhou with grace and power, and the means were too tough to easily cause him to rebound, not to mention that Shen Tingzhou's mother's family was now not to be underestimated because of Gu Xingye's official position.
So it's almost over, it's time to give a piece of candy.
When Shen Tingzhou entered the office, Shen Wanqing had just finished making tea, and the moment he stood up and took the initiative to pour tea for himself, Shen Tingzhou covered the cup with his palm expressionlessly.
"Say something quickly, I don't have time to deal with you all this nonsense."
Shen Wanqing's face darkened, picked up the beads on the table and flicked them vigorously a few times, and finally said softly.
"As a parent, there is no one who does not love his children, although I am a little harsh with you, but it is all for your good, now you are still young, you may not understand my good intentions, I don't blame you, and when you wait until later, you will know that I am paving a broad road for you."
Shen Tingzhou sneered, "Don't say that selling your son is so nice." โ
"You!"
Shen Wanqing took a deep breath, "It's really stupid for you to be broken by me for a woman who doesn't love you. โ
As soon as these words came out, the green tendons on Shen Tingzhou's neck tensed immediately.
Shen Wanqing slowly took out a voice recorder and released the content of the negotiation with Meng Wanyi that day.
"Is it worth it for such a woman? If you break off with her now, I can not blame the past, and you can still sit firmly in your position as president, and no one can shake it. โ
Shen Tingzhou suddenly laughed.
"She's right, it's true that I'm pestering her, these words, she doesn't just say them in front of you, she says them in front of me."
Even in front of him, she said more ruthlessly and harshly.
Shen Wanqing: "......"
Before leaving, Shen Tingzhou said again.
"I'd better get you down with all of a, or elseโ"
