Tentative

Maybe Shen Yizhuo was too disappointing, after a year Shen Guyu suddenly arranged for Shen Yizhuo to go to his company often.Shen made her fortune in the jewelry business, but after mastering the wealth envied by others, Shen began to extend her hand in real estate, and she did very well.

It would be too false to say that Shen Guyu was born to be a perfect businessman.Shen Yizhuo knew very well that his stepmother - Du Chun, played a big role in it.Du Chun was also born as a young lady, ten years younger than Shen Guyu, and married Shen Guyu at the age of 19, taking the place of the previous Mrs. Shen.

And the previous Mrs. Shen was Shen Yizhuo's biological mother and Shen Guyu's wife.

Shen Yizhuo is in S University, so that graduation certificate is actually useless, the most useful thing is that it is better to say it when the media is writing.Therefore, after school started, he spent less and less time going to school, and devoted most of his energy to learning about the affairs of the company.

For him, being able to firmly grasp the inheritance rights of the Shen Group is probably much more useful than dealing with those people of all levels in school.Especially when Shen Yiwei was so unbearable, it was like giving him a chance.

All of this is similar to what he expected, except that Qu Zhe is missing.

"How are you doing recently?" Shen Guyu asked while reading the financial newspaper at the Shen family's dining table.Although he was talking to Shen Yizhuo, he didn't even look at him.Shen Yizhuo swallowed the food he chewed, and said softly, "It's okay."

Even if there is no subject when speaking, the other three people at this table still know that Shen Guyu is asking about Shen Yizhuo, not Shen Yiwei.

Du Chun smiled and asked Yizhuo to pick up the dishes again, and said kindly as if his own mother and child: "Yizhuo is so smart, of course he can do it well."

"Hehe." Shen Yiwei suddenly sneered, and put down his chopsticks, "I'm full, I'm going out."

"Where are you going to fool around again?!" Shen Guyu suddenly slammed the newspaper in his hand on the dining table, "Every day you know what's going on!"

Shen Yiwei squinted at Shen Yizhuo's expression, but couldn't see any clues, and said sarcastically: "Anyway, Dad, you have Shen Yizhuo, and I caused trouble because I don't have to inherit the family business!"

"What nonsense!" Du Chun quickly reprimanded, "It's not big or small, your parents haven't finished eating, you sit down honestly, and don't go out later!"

"mom--"

"obedient!"

Shen Yizhuo ate with his head down, seeing the mother and son singing together, he just found it funny.

After Du Chun reprimanded Shen Yiwei, he hurriedly said to him, "Would you like some soup? I've been watching this fungus soup all afternoon. It tastes very good."

"Thank you, auntie, I'll do it myself." Shen Yizhuo raised his head, smiled politely, and then reached out to scoop up the soup.

If the Du family hadn't gone bankrupt, Du Chun would never have been so kind to him.At that time, Shen Yizhuo remembered the arrogant and domineering Du Chun very clearly; he never forgot how she pointed at her mother's nose and called her a "bitch".And now, she also knows that if she wants to fight for the property of the Shen family for her own son, at least she has to be superficial.

But in terms of superficial skills, how could she be Shen Yizhuo's opponent.

People can only get what they want if they wear a perfect mask.Just like Shen Yizhuo, only when he is excellent in every aspect can Shen Guyu think that he is the only suitable heir.

Du Chun had already stretched out his hand, and seeing Shen Yizhuo scooping up the soup by himself, he felt a little embarrassed.But she still smiled kindly, and then went to take Shen Yiwei's bowl again: "Drink a little too, it's good for your health."

Shen Yiwei didn't speak, probably as long as he sat at the same table with Shen Yizhuo for dinner, he wouldn't be in a good mood.

Shen Guyu seemed to be stepping down the steps for her: "Give me a bowl too."

"Okay." Du Chun narrowed his eyes and smiled, pretending to be careless while scooping up the soup, "But Yizhuo, you are over 20, have you got a girlfriend yet?"

Shen Yizhuo was stunned for a second, and immediately said: "No."

"Our Yizhuo is so handsome, there must be many girls in the school who like it, have you met anyone you like?" Du Chun said, handing over Shen Yiwei's bowl, then picking up Shen Guyu's and continuing to ladle soup.

"Thank you, Auntie, for your concern. I haven't thought about it yet."

Du Chun continued: "Really, I remember when you were in high school, you had a date... Yes, it was at that time that your father didn't want you to fall in love early, so he asked you to move in and live with us."

Shen Yizhuo didn't expect that Du Chun would take this matter out to win back his son's victory.

Qu Zhe's matter was a stain on Shen Yizhuo's life, and it was a thorn in Shen Guyu's eyes.He would never allow his son to be gay because it would embarrass him.Even though Shen Yizhuo denied it very simply at the time, he knew that Shen Guyu would not just believe it.

Including in the future, if Shen Guyu finds out that Qu Zhe is still involved with him, he may not need to be surnamed Shen.

Thinking of this, Shen Yizhuo suddenly felt his heart tighten - how could Qu Zhe have anything to do with him.

"Eat as soon as you eat, why bring up the past!" Sure enough, Shen Guyu's voice sank, and there was obvious anger in his words.

Du Chun seemed to be unintentional, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was quick to talk... Yizhuo, don't take it to heart."

"How could it be?" Shen Yizhuo had a natural expression, as if there was really no disturbance in his heart.He finished drinking the soup in the bowl, and wiped his mouth gracefully, "Dad, Aunt Du, there is an event at school tonight, and I have to give a speech, so I'm leaving first."

"En." Shen Guyu responded.

Shen Yiwei, who had been patient all this time, became even more irritable when he saw Shen Yizhuo get up: "Tsk, why, he can go out, but I can't go out!"

"Don't say a few words!" Du Chun said immediately, and gave him a wink, "Are you going to make your father unhappy? Your brother is so obedient, he doesn't look like you..."

"I'll go first." Shen Yizhuo didn't want to stay any longer.If Shen Guyu hadn't asked him to come back for meals three times a week, he might not have set foot in this "other people's" mansion for a year.

But the so-called something happened was purely an excuse, Shen Yizhuo was fine at all.He came out of Shen's house and went straight back to his small apartment.As soon as he got home, he saw Cong Yun sitting on the sofa, hugging a pillow and watching TV.Seeing Shen Yizhuo come back, he smiled plainly: "Master Shen."

"Ah."

Shen Yizhuo put on his slippers and leaned back on the sofa, then took out a cigarette from his pocket.Cong Yun immediately ordered it for him obediently, and then asked: "Have you eaten, Young Master Shen? Do you need me to do it now?"

"Let's make some." At the Shen's house, he didn't have any appetite at all. The so-called meal was just a taste of each dish and a bowl of soup.Shen Guyu never noticed how much he ate, and Du Chun never cared about it.

Originally, he thought that he would never bring Cong Yun back, but one day he remembered Qu Zhe's leaving without saying goodbye, and he almost became angry, so he changed his mind.Not only did he call Cong Yun home, he even allowed him to sleep in the study, but he was not allowed to leave.

Just like a pet kept at home, this pet can cook, clean, and provide some physical services.In fact, for Shen Yizhuo, this kind of role is just right, not quarreling or entanglement, taking money to do things, and being a dog obediently.

But in the final analysis, people are all cheap. A friend sent a well-behaved "Jingba", but he couldn't help thinking about the "stray dog" that he sent to the door.

But the only thing he can't do is to sleep with Cong Yun and make it to the last step.

I can't say why, just a subconscious reluctance.

For Cong Yun, such a benefactor is really not too kind.He doesn't need to pay his body, nor does he need to pretend, as long as he is obedient, he can get the money.

Cong Yun made a simple home-cooked meal, and it tasted okay. After Shen Yizhuo ate it, he received a call from Qu Xiaoyu.

"Yizhuo..."

"what happened?"

"I've sprained my feet during the performance," Qu Xiaoyu's voice sounded a little aggrieved, "Isn't it our department's performance today, you didn't even come to see it."

"...I have something to do today, come see me next time."

"Then are you busy now? I want you to pick me up. I may not be able to walk..." Qu Xiaoyu said his specific location, "If I really don't have time, I will ask my roommate to come."

"I'll come." Shen Yizhuo agreed without thinking.While talking on the phone, he picked up the coat on the coat rack and went straight out the door.Cong Yun didn't ask anything - after a period of time, he had figured out Shen Yizhuo's temper, and it was most appropriate not to speak.He watched Shen Yizhuo go out, wash the dishes obediently, sit on the sofa and watch TV after washing, and always felt that life was a bit illusory.

Shen Yizhuo hurried to the place where Qu Xiaoyu was, and from a long distance, he saw faintly two people, one was sitting on a bench and the other was standing.He walked over, neither of them seemed to notice his arrival, they were still talking.

Qu Xiaoyu said: "What are you still struggling with? Forget it, I don't want to be entangled with homosexuals either."

The other party seemed to be hesitant to speak, but Shen Yizhuo had already walked up to him. With the light of the street lamp next to him, he could clearly see the standing man, who seemed to be Qu Xiaoyu's ex-boyfriend.As for his name, Shen Yizhuo had already forgotten.He said softly: "Xiaoyu."

Hearing his voice, Qu Xiaoyu immediately turned his head to look, and said eagerly: "Yizhuo, why are you here so fast?"

He nodded towards the man, and after the other nodded shyly, he said to Qu Xiaoyu, "I'm nearby."

When Qu Xiaoyu saw him, he seemed to be in a better mood, mumbling and coquettishly saying: "I sprained my ankle, and the heel of my shoe is broken...you can carry me on your back."

Shen Yizhuo smiled helplessly: "Okay."

In front of Qu Xiaoyu's boyfriend, he walked to the bench and squatted down. Qu Xiaoyu obediently lay on his back and hugged his neck.

"Don't wear such high shoes next time." Shen Yizhuo said softly.

"...a performance."

He effortlessly stood up with Qu Xiaoyu on his back, polite enough, and nodded again to the man: "Then let's go first."

Qu Xiaoyu's boyfriend didn't speak, so Shen Yizhuo naturally wouldn't pay attention to an insignificant person.He was followed by Qu Xiaoyu to the school gate, the girl didn't seem to be in much pain, and started chatting chirpingly: "Hey, that one just now, Yan Yizhen, he dumped me, you know that!"

"It must be that you are too beautiful, and he is under pressure."

"No way, he likes men." Qu Xiaoyu said, "Hey, I'm not as good as a man."

"It's hard to talk about emotional matters."

Shen Yizhuo put his hand on her hip, but no one felt that there was anything wrong.For Qu Xiaoyu, a gentle and considerate person who has no extra thoughts suddenly broke into his life, who loves her and treats her well, it is like a blessing from heaven.

For Shen Yizhuo... He suddenly remembered that the day Qu Zhe was ill, he was lying on his back in the same way, with an astonishing temperature, lying on his shoulders weakly and pitifully.

This is different from the difference four years ago, or too different.They had no choice before, but now they had a choice, but Qu Zhe chose to leave.As Shen Yizhuo walked, he was engrossed in thinking. He didn't pay attention to what Qu Xiaoyu was saying, until the girl asked coquettishly, "Are you listening to me?"

"...I'm wondering if you want to have some supper, whether you're hungry or not."

"Haha, it's so sweet," Qu Xiaoyu said excitedly, "I'm a little hungry, I want to eat crayfish."

"Then go eat the crayfish, and I'll take you back after eating."

"it is good!"

When Shen Yizhuo saw Jiang Yuzhao again, it was when their students took graduation photos.Jiang Yuzhao was accompanied by his girlfriend who had a relationship with him once, while he was accompanied by Qu Xiaoyu, as if girls like to join in this kind of fun, so they must come and have a look.

During the period, their eyes once met, but no one said hello or spoke, just like two strangers.Without Qu Zhe, they would indeed be strangers.

He has been studying in his own company since he was a junior, and he joined the company very naturally after graduation; Shen Yiwei finally graduated from high school and spent money to enter S University, but he is still ignorant all day long. , also obsessed with sports cars.As a result, Shen Yizhuo has become a legitimate heir in everyone's eyes, and Shen Yiwei is that kind of dude.

This seems to be the standard configuration of rich people. If one son is worthy of a big responsibility, the other son must be a waste.

Shen Guyu handed over the management of a jewelry store to Shen Yizhuo, saying that it was handed over, but in fact it was more about learning.He finally started to have expensive suits in his closet, and occasionally he would wear them to entertainment venues to socialize.

What about Qu Zhe?

For two long years, Shen Yizhuo sent people to look for and investigate, but Qu Zhe disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the world.He would occasionally hear from other people's mouths that Young Master Jiang was in a stable relationship, as if he was engaged.He was also arranged to have dinner with the only daughter of Shen Guyu's partner's family from time to time.

Young liking doesn't seem to be that important, and long-term love is mostly self-hypnosis.Jiang Yuzhao will marry someone else; and he has a "Jingba" that he doesn't like very much; Qu Xiaoyu has also graduated and is looking for a job. I have seen it; and Qu Zhe, I don't know where to live his ordinary life without Shen Yizhuo.

The story seems to end here.

But the more time passed, the more he missed Qu Zhe, and he thought like crazy——Shen Yizhuo couldn't control it.

Thinking of the end, the turbulent emotions gradually calmed down again.Thinking of the end, he just wanted to ask Qu Zhe how worthless those "likes" are; why he came and left on his own.
