After Being Transported into a Book, I Adopted the Villain-Chapter 22 - Parents Meeting

Ch.22 – Parents Meeting

Shen Yu was surprised. His intuition told him that something happened between the little villain and Lei Yumeng, that’s why the little villain did not reject Lei Yumeng’s approach as he did before.

He turned his head to Tang Li.

Tang Li was sitting quietly beside him, looking down at his knees. He looked cold and nobody could tell what he was thinking.

When he noticed Shen Yu’s gaze, Tang Li looked up sharply, a little stunned, and then burst into a brilliant smile.

“Shen Yu.” Tang Li cried out crisply and leaned over. His hands easily crossed the armrest of the wheelchair in front of him and tightly wrapped around Shen Yu’s arm.

Shen Yu had long grown used to the little villain’s clinging skills, and pinched the little villain’s cheek: “What would you like to eat tonight?”

“I’ll eat whatever you want.” Tang Li buried his face in the crook of Shen Yu’s arm. His voice sounded a little dull. The hot air he exhaled when he spoke penetrated Shen Yu’s clothes and spread warmly across his skin.

Shen Yu felt itchy and wanted to pull his arm out of the grasp of the little villain. He tried to move two times but was held in a very strong hold.

“We’ll have let Aunt Chen make a couple dishes as she please.” Shen Yu said, stretching out his hand and rubbing Tang Li’s hair. Shen Yu laughed and shook his head. “Truly a sticky spirit.”

Tang Li immediately retorted, “I only stick to you.”

“I’m afraid that will not be the case in the future.”

Shen Yu wanted to say that Tang Li would eventually get married and have children. Even if he didn’t gain the heart of the female lead in this novel, in time he would like other girls. When that happens, Tang Li could not stick to him like this anymore.

Perhaps if something happened with that middle school girl, the little villain won’t stick to him like this again...

Thinking of this, Shen Yu unexpectedly felt a slight sense of loss.

However, before he could say the following words, he felt the little villain clutching his arm tighter and trying to stretch his little hands around Shen Yu’s waist.

“No, that will never happen.” Tang Li said earnestly, “I’ll just stick to you, both for now and in the future.”

After that, the villain added domineeringly, “You also can only stick to me alone.”

Shen Yu laughed: “That’s quite an overbearing contract.”

Seeing that Shen Yu was acting soft, the little villain simply played the role of a rascal and shook Shen Yu’s arm around: “I don’t care, you have to promise me that no one else is allowed to stick to you, especially that aunt introduced by Grandpa Shen.”

If it was before, Shen Yu would have obediently promised Tang Li in order to calm him down, then he suddenly remembered something and tentatively said, “Isn’t that little girl named Lei Yumeng sticking to you? What is your relationship with her?”

“...” Tang Li froze for a moment, and then answered stiffly, “It doesn’t matter.”

Shen Yu was particularly suspicious: “Really?”

Tang Li nodded: “Really.”

Shen Yu still didn’t believe Tang Li’s words. He pinched Tang Li’s chin and forced him to look up and into his eyes.

The little villain’s eyes, which were like thick black gems, lingered on Shen Yu. He stared at Shen Yu’s face without any intent of dodging the other’s gaze.

Shen Yu was silently relieved.

He intuitively felt that the little villain was not deceiving him.

It was not until Shen Yu took a bath and lay down in bed at night that he remembered to check Weibo. Jenny Yang’s chat box showed that it had new messages. Shen Yu avoided the chat box for a long time before he finally opened it up to see Jenny Yang’s message.

There are only two sentences.

One sentence says she knows.

The other said she could wait until Shen Yu was better.

Jenny Yang is not as difficult as Shen Yu had originally feared.

Shen Yu completely relaxed and did not reply to Jenny Yang, he considered the matter dealt with for now.

——————————

Although there are a lot of business to be taken care of at the company, Shen Yu spent as much time as possible in the kitchen every day. He plans to open two dessert shops to sell his own creations.

He asked Kang Lin to help set up the two stores in a good location in his spare time.

The stores were located on a commercial street that was just outside the university district and located in the downtown area in the northern part of the city. Because of the golden location, the rent is not cheap, but money is nothing to Shen Yu.

Kang Lin is a very efficient assistant. He even talked with the landlords about the price of the store. He thought that according to Shen Yu’s character and financial resources, he would buy the store directly.

When Kang Lin told Shen Yu about it, Shen Yu waved and said, “Don’t worry about that for now, let’s rent it first.”

Kang Lin was surprised and gave a gentle sigh. When he thought about how he was acting inappropriately, he quickly closed his mouth and recollected himself. Then he asked carefully, “Isn’t it more convenient to take care of the store if you directly buy it?”

Shen Yu sat at his desk, drawing on the sketchbook, he laughed and answered, “I just want to open two dessert stores because I’m interested. I don’t know if this plan will work. If the business is good, it’s not impossible to buy the stores.”

Kang Lin thought about it, and felt that this was reasonable, so he stopped talking about it.

Very soon, Kang Lin signed a lease contract for Shen Yu with the landlords and rushed around to find design and interior decoration companies. He made sure to begin the decoration work of the stores immediately.

Shen Yu handed over most of the work to Kang Lin. Additionally, he asked Uncle Zhang to help with the recruitment, so he could devote himself to designing the menu when he wasn’t working at the company.

In fact, Shen Yu did this in order to find a way to take care of himself.

As a reader of the original novel, he knows exactly what his character will experience in the next decade or so. Although he doesn’t care about bankruptcy, he still has to be prepared for it before it comes.

At that time, all his real estate will be taken to pay his debts, his bank accounts will be frozen, the domestic servants will be dismissed, and relatives of the Shen family avoid him like he was a scorpion.

This didn’t even include the debts owed to the male lead and the villain...

Just thinking about it frightened Shen Yu into a cold sweat.

So he plans to develop a side business and open some shops in the name of Uncle Zhang. So that if he does go bankrupt, he will not fall to sleeping in the streets.

Shen Yu sighed.

Now that he has adopted the villain, he can only hope that in the future the villain will be merciful.

He just doesn’t know what will happen with the male lead who hasn’t appeared yet. So far, he and the male lead haven’t had any interactions, but at the same time he can’t avoid the story, so he can only carefully plan ahead.

Shen Yu was busy preparing for the dessert shops these days, but he hadn’t forgotten to take Tang Li to and from school with Uncle Zhang.

Then he discovered a strange phenomenon.

Tang Li and Lei Yumeng often seem to stick together. Whether Shen Yu sends Tang Li to school in the morning or when Shen Yu picks up Tang Li in the afternoon, the figure of Lei Yumeng can always be seen.

Tang Li also no longer ate breakfast at home, saying that someone in the school was waiting for him to eat together.

Shen Yu is not a fool. The present situation is so obvious that he cannot help but see it.

So the nights before going to the school to attend the parents’ meeting, Shen Yu specifically called Tang Li to the study and asked the little villain about his new relationship in a very euphemistic manner.

Tang Li stood at the desk with his bright eyes staring straight at Shen Yu. He said frankly, “It’s not like that.”

“Then why does that little girl wait for you at the school gate every morning? And you said it was her who were going to breakfast with.” Shen Yu observed Tang Li’s expression and said, “I don’t mind you falling in love as a student, but you are too young now. Learning is the most important task.”

“I know.” Tang Li’s eyes were torch-like, so calm that he did not even move his eyebrows. He again said, ” It’s not like that.” f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

Shen Yu helplessly supported his forehead: “Recently you and that little girl have become too close, I’ll have to think about this more.”

Hearing this, the corner of Tang Li’s mouth hooked up into a slightly strange arc, in a indescribable voice he said: “It will soon be over.”

Shen Yu: “What?”

Tang Li quickly bowed his head and whispered, “Nothing.”

Shen Yu spoke for most of the day, and Tang Li insisted that there was no relationship between him and Lei Yumeng. Shen Yu had no choice but to tell Tang Li repeatedly that he could not fall in love with others so early and then sent him off to rest.

But Shen Yu still didn’t believe Tang Li’s words.

After going to school tomorrow, he plans to ask the other students himself.

Time soon arrived at noon the next day.

In order to attend the parents’ meeting, Shen Yu left the company early and drove to school with Uncle Zhang.

Principal Li had been waiting outside the school for a long time, bringing several teachers together to welcome Shen Yu and Uncle Zhang into the school with a smile.

Nearly an hour before the parents’ meeting, the students were all in the classroom. Shen Yu sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by Uncle Zhang to walk half a lap around the campus behind Principal Li. Then he asked Principal Li and the others to go and take care of their over matters. He and Uncle Zhang would continue to hang out.

In fact, President Li and his party wanted to follow Shen Yu so that they had the chance to throw flattery at him, but Shen Yu’s attitude was so stubborn that they could not refuse, so they left in frustration.

Watching Principal Li and others disappear, Shen Yu asked Uncle Zhang, “Is that little girl a middle school student?”

Uncle Zhang answered, “Class 20, Middle School.”

Shen Yu nodded and said, “Let’s go and have a look.”

Zhang Shu responded, then pushed Shen Yu’s wheelchair to the middle school. In order to familiarize himself with the structure of the school, Uncle Zhang came over yesterday to look around.

The middle part of the middle school is neither near nor far from where they are currently. It takes half an hour to reach the small playground next to the middle school. Right now, the playground is being rebuilt. There are tools and cement everywhere, and basically no people hang around there.

However, when Shen Yu was pushed by Uncle Zhang, he could faintly hear a sound of swearing, accompanied by the scream of a girl.

“Wait a minute.” Shen Yu said quickly.

Obviously, Uncle Zhang also heard those voices. While he paused, he turned his head with Shen Yu and looked in the direction of the voice.

The next second, another scream sounded, it was the girl just now.

“The voice...” Shen Yu was stunned before he said, “Ah...”

It seems that...

This is Lei Yumeng’s voice!
