Dessert War [Ancient and Modern]

Wanting to devour herself, Tangyu got up in a panic belatedly.In the next second, he was pulled back by the man's strong palm.

"Stay with me tonight. If someone sees you when you go out at this time, you will definitely think wrong."

Tangyu didn't fall for his tricks, and retorted confidently: "You are not afraid of the shadow slanting, according to your words, if I stay, I will be seen by people when I go out tomorrow, and I will not be able to tell!"

Hey, the little guy is getting harder and harder to coax now.Shen Lie pouted bitterly, showing a puppy-like expression: "Can't you just stay and talk with me?"

"We have nothing to talk about, and I'm afraid you'll be tricked..." The almost pleading look on the man's face made Tang Yu unable to harden her heart no matter what.Before he finished speaking, his face was shamefully red like an apple.

"Promise not to do bad things!" Knowing that the little guy was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, Shen Lie hurriedly made a promise, then pulled him to bed with a smile, covered him with a quilt, and turned down the bedside lamp a little bit.

The light orange light is projected on the red beech wood bed, faint and faint, like the soft moonlight, sprinkled on the head of the bed, as quiet as water.

"What should we talk about?" Shen Lie gently held the boy's hand, stroked his green fingers, and suddenly turned his face to him with a smile: "Shall I tell you about my childhood? Treat you as my younger brother, and I have never mentioned my family affairs to you."

This is true, the former Shen Lie took him for granted as Tang Yu and never mentioned these things, and Tang Yu was afraid of revealing her identity, so she would not take the initiative to ask.

However, he would still be faintly curious about what happened in their family before, which would make Shen Lie so cruel to Tang Yu, disregarding brotherhood at all, and causing himself to suffer.

"I only know that your father's name is Tang Yi. Why, your surname is Shen? Does it follow your mother's surname?"

Shen Lie nodded slightly, and said softly, "My mother's name is Shen Man. My original name was Tang Lie. Later, I changed my mother's surname."

Tang Yu asked in confusion: "It's alright, why did you change your name?"

"It's a long story." Shen Lie took a deep breath, the past few years ago, like an hourglass being turned back, every memory, painful, sad, and unforgettable, all surfaced in his mind one by one. in front of you.

"I remember that not long after I was born, my father came out of the work unit. Without an iron rice bowl, life was very difficult, so he thought about starting a small business. The family didn't have much money, so my mother returned home after work. I have to go out to work, and when I get home, I have to knit sweaters for others. When I was hard, I stayed up until midnight every day. When I was young, my eyes were not very good. Later, I finally saved enough money to help my father open a small shop. Business is slowly improving, and life is getting easier."

Tangyu listened quietly to the gossip of these parents, and couldn't help thinking of her parents who were far away in a "foreign land", and sighed sadly: "It's good to be able to share joys and sorrows."

Unexpectedly, Shen Lie shook his head lightly, and laughed at himself: "Seeing that the days are getting better and better, who knows, it is easy to share hardships, but it is difficult to share joys and sorrows."

"How do you say that?"

Looking at Tangyu's questioning eyes, Shen Lie sighed softly, and smiled helplessly: "When I was in the third grade of elementary school, my father met a woman, Tang Yu's mother, named Zhang Jin. She He is young and beautiful, and his family is also in business, and he helped my dad a lot at that time, helping him to make contacts and develop sales channels, and also to use money to inject capital into my dad, seriously registering a company, and making the business bigger."

The more Tang Yu heard the more something was wrong, she couldn't help but interjected and asked: "What about your mother? That Zhang Jin and your father are so close, it's obviously not a good thing."

"My mother is actually more good-looking than Zhang Jin, but when she was young, she often stayed up late and broke her eyes, so she could only wear prescription glasses, and she quit her job to work day and night for the family's business. So, there is no Zhang Jin is so good at dressing herself up. So, after a while, my dad got together with that woman."

"Your father is not devoted!" Tang Yu hated this kind of thing the most. If you love someone, why can't you do it wholeheartedly?Arranging flowers and planting willows everywhere is extremely disgusting.

Shen Lie smiled wryly and said: "In those days, there was a saying, 'A man becomes bad when he has money', and my father was like this. I didn't quite understand it at first, but I only knew that my father came home later and later. , Sometimes, even stay away all night. And my mother no longer has a smile on her face, and often does housework at home, and shed tears for no reason."

"Later, Zhang Jin got pregnant, and even shamelessly asked my dad to move out of the house, and even forced my dad to divorce my mother. But my mother is a very traditional woman, and she tried every means to save this marriage. , so I refused to divorce no matter what. My father was really cruel, so he cut off the family for my mother. Fortunately, my mother is frugal on weekdays, and she still has some savings to make ends meet, but my father has already hurt her. mind."

"Why is your father so cruel? One day a husband and wife repay a hundred days of kindness, not to mention that you were young at that time, did he even care about his own son?"

"You don't understand, men are the most ruthless when they are cruel..."

Shen Lie sighed with emotion, but Tang Yu snorted lightly: "I know, I've learned it before!"

Shen Lie knew that the little guy remembered the bad things he did to him before, so he couldn't help coughing in embarrassment, and glanced at his face, he didn't seem to be very angry, so he felt relieved, and continued:

"In order to obtain a marriage certificate with my father, Zhang Jin came to quarrel with my mother every now and then. My mother is a very gentle and kind person, but she also made her heart angry, so she insisted that she would not leave. In the marriage, she was the innocent party and refused to leave. My father and Zhang Jin had nothing to do with her. Unexpectedly, the woman was very vicious, so she asked her good friend to help her forge a paternity test. My father lied in front of me that I was not Tang Yi's biological son, but a child born to my mother and another man..."

Tangyu vaguely remembered that on the day of last year's birthday, Qi Chang'an and Shen Lie seemed to have mentioned this matter, why one is biological and the other is a wild species.But at that time, my thoughts were mixed, and I didn't hear those malicious and sarcastic words at all, and this matter had nothing to do with me at all.But no matter what, he was still surprised: "But, the son I gave birth to has been raised for so many years, can't your father see it? Do you want to trust that woman?"

"I look exactly like my mother, otherwise, how could I be so handsome!"

"Are you handsome?!" Tang Yu threw a contemptuous look at someone who was so cheeky and self-proclaimed.But after thinking about it, I am more like my mother, and my father is dark and strong. If I look like him, someone who only likes handsome men and beautiful women will probably not take him seriously.

"If I'm not handsome, how could you fall in love with me." Shen Lie squeezed Tang Yu's small face and kissed him on the forehead.

I'm not a jerk like you, and I don't like you just because of your looks.The reason why I fell in love with him before is probably because of his occasional gentleness...

With those deep eyes, a burst of sourness surged into her heart again, forcing herself not to think about it again, Tangyu changed the subject and continued the topic he had just asked: "The woman faked the paternity test, what is she trying to do?"

"Isn't it just to slander my mother and pour dirty water on her! You don't understand, people's words are terrible."

Looking back at these memories of the past, Shen Lie lost his smile. After so many years, the resentment from that year is still like a huge boulder hovering in his chest, weighing him down.

"Then what happened later? Your mother still divorced your father?"

"No. But my mother has been wronged for no reason, and her spirit has become more fragile. She is the kind of sensitive and weak woman. Under the multiple setbacks and pressures in the past few years, her emotions have been depressed. After such a toss, I got severe depression and needed hospital treatment. That year, I was only 14 years old. The money at home gradually ran out, and there was no source of income, so I had to bite the bullet and beg my father. In the end, I paid for it myself It was humiliating, and I was scolded back. At that time, I was desperate for Tang Yi..."

Speaking of this, Shen Lie paused, and subconsciously tightened the hand holding Tang Yu.

Seeing his dark and gloomy eyes, Tang Yu knew that he must be sad because of what happened back then, so she couldn't help holding his hand instead, comforting her softly: "Don't be too sad, it's all in the past after all."

Shen Lie felt sore, Tang Yu was kind-hearted and always thought of others, such a character was a bit like his mother.

Gently rubbing his soft hair, the man said: "Xiaoyu, I know you hate Qi Changan very much, but thanks to the help of him and his parents at that time, my mother was sent to the hospital. But hospitalization costs a lot, How dare I keep talking to other people, so I started working outside to earn money."

"But... you were only fourteen or five years old at the time, what kind of work could you do..."

"As long as you are willing to work, you can find work anywhere. I get up at three o'clock in the morning to deliver milk, and I can deliver a round of newspapers before school. When school is over at noon, I move bricks and carry sacks on the construction site next door. After school, I go to the hotel to do it. Bakery workers can earn money by washing dishes and dishes.”

"Shen Lie, I didn't expect you to suffer so much when you were a child."

Tangyu looked at him in surprise, and for a moment, she felt very uncomfortable.Originally thought that leaving him and wandering outside, compared to having him take care of him at home, he had suffered a lot. Unexpectedly, Shen Lie himself had such a bitter and difficult past.

"It's all thanks to Zhang Jin and Tang Yi." Mentioning this woman, Shen Lie still had indelible hatred.

"Then your mother..." Tang Yu
