A cannon fodder rival dressed as school grass
Chapter 151
Zhuang Shen's mood turned from cloudy to sunny after his words, and he slowly answered the previous question.
"I might have to stay at home overnight."
"Did something happen to your family? The person who called you into the car today was your father, right?" Shen Wen guessed the reason faster than he thought.
Zhuang Shen replied: "Well, it made him unhappy, now the family will reflect on it."
Shen Wen frowned. When he saw the driver picking up Zhuang Shen and the luxury car at noon today, he felt something was wrong.
The impact of the luxury car is on the one hand, and the other is the dialogue between the driver and Zhuang Shen.
Zhuang Shen obviously didn't want to go with the driver, and when he heard the "another person" in the driver's words, Shen Wen felt for no reason that it might be related to him.
"Even your guardian cannot violate your personal freedom at will. Is there any reason why you are locked up at home by him? I can help you."
From the very beginning, Shen Wen felt that the Zhuang that the driver was talking about was always his father, the father who never showed up and didn't care about Zhuang Shen.
Today is Zhuang Shen's birthday, but the man named father sent his subordinates to force Zhuang Shen to get in the car. No matter how you think about it, he doesn't look like a good father.
The dark clouds were getting lower and lower, layers upon layers of pressure, and it seemed that they were about to crush the roof.
Zhuang Shen just said: "It will be fine after today."
Shen Wen heard him say this, and knew that Zhuang Shen had his own thoughts, so he took a step back: "You stay at home, I will wait for you at school."
Zhuang Shen hung up the phone and clicked on Zhuang Chenxu's previous chat box. His chat history was still stuck on the few birthday wishes at midnight today.
Zhuang Shen lowered his head and typed: [Thank you]
Zhuang Chenxu quickly replied: 【Have you had lunch yet?Have a good lunch. 】
Zhuang Shen: [Eat at home]
Zhuang Chenxu was startled when he saw this reply: 【Are you at home?Are you going home for your birthday this year? 】
He never thought that Zhuang Shen would be willing to go home to celebrate his birthday. Most students prefer to spend it with their classmates at school. If he had known earlier, he would have turned down his work and flew back today.
Thinking that Zhuang Shen was at home but he was absent, he wanted to call his assistant now and book a plane ticket home.
And the next moment, Zhuang Chenxu's expression of surprise cooled instantly.
【Dad asked me to stay at home for a few days. He confiscated my mobile phone. I was locked in the study on the third floor. I used another mobile phone to send you text messages. Don’t tell him】
Zhuang Shen wrapped his arms around the pillow and tapped the keyboard quickly, feeling a little ironic.
Only Zhuang Chenxu in this family knew that his birthday was today, the other two elders said they cared about him for his own good, but they didn't even know about this day.
But it was a good day to pick.
Zhuang Shen saw the message that Zhuang Chenxu quickly popped up.
【Dad locked you up, why? 】
【How are you doing? 】
[When did you return home, did he say to let you out in a few days? 】
[I asked my assistant to book a plane ticket, and I will be home around six o'clock. You can rest for a while, don't think about it]
Just as Zhuang Shen put his phone in his pocket, there was a knock on the door and he opened it.
The man with the thick eyes and the briefcase in one hand smiled like a peasant uncle who had seen the rain, and he bowed his back slightly and greeted him: "Master Zhuang Shen, I am tutoring you." Mathematics teacher, my surname is Wu, I will give you lectures from 01:30 to 05:30 this afternoon."
Zhuang Shen glanced back, the man was followed by a servant pushing the dining cart and two bodyguards.
Seeing that Zhuang Shen didn't speak, Teacher Wu wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, thinking that this teaching journey might not go well.
Before he came, he knew that this was the young master of the dealer who seldom appeared, had a bad temper, and was locked up here today because he was still contradicting Zhuang Huiye.
Zhuang Shen glanced at them, moved away and said, "Teacher Wu."
It sounds like a bland title that couldn't be more bland, but when facing Shang Zhuangshen's shallow eyes, the cold sweat on Teacher Wu's back became even more intense.
This boy looked more difficult to deal with than the two bodyguards behind him.
Teacher Wu put down the briefcase, took out some test papers and notebooks, and the servant who followed behind put aside the snacks and left.
The two bodyguards stood at the door, staring straight ahead with stern faces, motionless like stone carvings in front of the door.
Zhuang Shen turned his gaze back lightly, of course he knew why Zhuang Huiye called these two people here, one was to monitor him, the other was to fear that he would hurt the teacher, and the third was to fear that he would escape while opening the door just now.
The two acted as a good deterrent.
Mr. Wu's goldfish eyes stared at him closely behind the lens of the beer bottle. Seeing that he finally looked over, he smiled cautiously and handed over a test paper with both hands: "This is today's test paper. You do the questions first. You can do it in one and a half hours." It can be done within an hour."
Zhuang Shen hummed, took the paper with no sign of joy or anger, took a pen from the desk, sat down and began to write.
Teacher Wu sat down at the table next to him, took a few glances, and asked tentatively, "Do you want draft paper? I have it."
Zhuang Shen didn't raise his head: "No need."
People who don't use scratch paper in the exam are scumbags, and they skip it when they encounter difficulties, then they are mental arithmetic masters. Teacher Wu automatically classifies Zhuang Shen as the former.
The paper he produced today covered all the question types of the mathematics college entrance examination. He could prescribe the right medicine according to the error rate and catch the typical ones first. He was a little worried that Zhuang Shen would die in the entire paper.
After half an hour he realized that he was thinking too simply.
Zhuang Shen actually finished a hundred questions in less than half an hour, and he was all right!
He put away the paper in a trance and asked, "Can I make another one?"
Zhuang Shen: "Yes."
This time he stood by and looked at Zhuang Shen. After witnessing Zhuang Shen's smooth answering speed, he immediately packed up his things and went downstairs.
Zhuang Huiye was quite puzzled when he saw him: "Is it over?"
He suspected that Zhuang Shen had contradicted the teacher again, so he couldn't help frowning.
Teacher Wu wiped his sweat and shook his head: "Mr. Zhuang, student Zhuang Shen doesn't need my guidance... No, I am not worthy to be his teacher. I can't match his answering speed and correct rate. Please find another teacher." Senior teacher!"
Zhuang Huiye: "..."
Before returning to the company, Zhuang Huiye withdrew his bodyguards for the sake of his safety and asked him to stay quietly inside for a while, planning to ask him what he thought at night.
He got some information about Shen Wen from Zhuang Ruoying. He transferred from the second year of high school and got good grades, but he always skipped classes and missed exams, and the teacher didn't care much about him. It sounded like a copy of Zhuang Shen now.
He knew several upper-class families in Jiang City, but he had never met someone with the surname Shen. He was probably just an ordinary rich second generation, and he couldn't be mentioned on the stage.
After the dealer suffered an economic crisis before, Zhuang Huiye started to let Zhuang Chenxu intervene in the affairs. If Zhuang Shen joined in to help, the burden on the dealer would be easier.
As for the others, he will not let them out at all, but if the other party has a ten-thousandth idea of wanting to acquire their family's property, he will not let it go.
While it's still early, he can still stop it, lest Zhuang Shen get addicted to it and give away all the things at home.
But before confronting Zhuang Shen again, Zhuang Chenxu came back suddenly.
"I'll let you open the door." Zhuang Chenxu stood in front of the study on the third floor, his brows were tinged with dryness when he thought he had a gentle face: "Now, open the door."
The butler standing next to him lowered his head: "Sir, you can't open the door without his permission."
Zhuang Chenxu walked up to him and said with a sullen face, "Open the door."
The space at the farthest corner of the third floor was quiet and deserted. Several people stood in the corridor, but no one moved.
It was the first time for the housekeeper to see him like this, he hesitated in his heart, but he didn't dare to do things indiscriminately when he thought of Zhuang Huiye's orders.
Zhu Wan also followed. Seeing them like this, she sighed, "Open the door. If there is anything wrong, I'll take care of it. I've been locked up for a long time. If something goes wrong with the child, who will take the responsibility?"
The housekeeper finally opened the study door with Zhu Wan's guarantee.
Zhuang Chenxu strode in. In order not to delay the schedule, he was working all the time on the plane, and he was thinking about things in his heart, so he couldn't feel at ease when he got home.
When he walked into the study and saw no one, his heart beat faster. The memories of his childhood flooded. He remembered that for a while, Zhuang Shen was very afraid of being alone in a strange environment, thinking of Zhuang Shen in this isolated room. After being locked up for so long, he couldn't restrain his anger.
Annoyed that he didn't arrive earlier, it was always a step late to find out that Zhuang Shen was not doing well.
He found Zhuang Shen on the balcony, and Zhuang Shen lay down in the rocking chair and fell asleep with one arm around the pillow.
Zhuang Shen opened his eyes the moment Zhuang Chenxu approached. The sound insulation in the room was very good. Zhuang Shen couldn't hear the voices of the people outside. Someone is close to the body to react first.
Zhuang Chenxu squatted down, his heart relaxed a lot: "If you want to sleep, go on sleeping, no one can lock you up now."
Zhuang Shen woke up instantly, and he asked, "I'm not going to sleep anymore, can I go out?"
Hearing his words, Zhuang Chenxu felt a little distressed: "Okay, it's time for dinner, do you want to stay at home or go out to eat?"
"go out."
Zhuang Chenxu smiled: "Okay, I'll take you out to eat."
Seeing Zhuang Shen coming out, Zhu Wan walked up to him and said concernedly: "Xiao Shen, don't blame your father, he has worked hard to make money during this period, so he speaks a bit harshly."
Maybe it was just waking up, but Zhuang Shen looked sleepy and didn't reply.
Zhu Wan was not disappointed, and continued: "I just asked someone to prepare lemon tea, you can drink some."
As soon as they went downstairs, they ran into Zhuang Huiye who had come back.
When he saw Zhuang Shen who was following Zhuang Chenxu, his expression suddenly became dissatisfied: "Who released him?"
"Me." Zhuang Chenxu looked at him: "Dad, you locked Xiaoshen up, did you ever think about what harm it would do to his body and mind?"
Zhuang Huiye chuckled: "You think I'm wrong? Then do you know why I locked him up? He's hanging out with a boy! In the final stage of his third year of high school, he still fell in love with a boy. If this continues, he will suffer even more harm in the future." , Is it right for me to correct him?"
Zhuang Chenxu turned his head and glanced at Zhuang Shen, he rushed over, before he could ask why, he wanted to bring him out.
After a while, Zhuang Chenxu said: "It's wrong to fall in love before the college entrance examination, and it's also wrong to lock him up just because the romantic partner is a boy."
Seeing him denying his decision, Zhuang Huiye felt displeased: "Why is it wrong? If this kind of thing gets out, what will it sound like?"
Zhuang Chenxu spoke slowly, without any emotion: "It's not a disease to like boys, and it's not against the law. You shut up Xiaoshen for the sake of face, and it's not shameful to spread the word."
Even the eldest son, who has always been the most sensible and obedient, stood on the opposite side of him. Zhuang Huiye seriously suspected that Zhuang Shen had pleaded and brainwashed him: "He contradicted me today, committed the above crimes and insulted me, and I am his father, so I can't discipline him? I Who is it all for?"
Zhuang Chenxu suddenly looked tired and said: "Did you forget that today is Xiaoshen's birthday?"
The hall fell into silence for an instant, and Zhu Wan was also stunned. She didn't care about it, let alone Zhuang Huiye who left early and returned late.
"Anyway, I want him to have a happy birthday." Zhuang Chenxu looked back at Zhuang Shen while everyone was silent: "Let's go out for dinner."
No one stopped them this time, and the two left the house smoothly all the way.
After getting into the car, Zhuang Shen fastened his seat belt and said, "Thank you for taking me out."
Zhuang Chenxu chose to speak for him immediately after knowing about him, without showing any prejudice against him, at least the Zhuang Chenxu he imagined would not accept this matter so quickly.
"You're not wrong." Zhuang Chenxu turned his head, and said warmly under the lamp: "Whether the person you like is a man or a woman is not wrong in itself, he shouldn't shut you up."
"Today is your birthday, I am late."
The author has something to say: The author said coldly: Today is more than 3000 words, are you satisfied with the woman?
"I might have to stay at home overnight."
"Did something happen to your family? The person who called you into the car today was your father, right?" Shen Wen guessed the reason faster than he thought.
Zhuang Shen replied: "Well, it made him unhappy, now the family will reflect on it."
