Chapter 51
Mr. Shen's birthday banquet arrived as scheduled.
In order to look elegant, Shen Yu could only temporarily abandon the crutches and sit in the wheelchair that Uncle Zhang had newly prepared for him.
At seven o'clock in the evening, all kinds of luxury cars drove into the hotel parking lot in an orderly manner.
Shen Yu was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room on the eighth floor. Through the clear and bright glass, he could see the bustling streets outside and the night scene of the city full of feasting and feasting, and the bright brilliance reflected in his pupils.
After a long time, Shen Yu sighed.
He was still very repulsed by the upcoming entertainment.
Fortunately, the birthday banquet was said to be hosted by him himself. In fact, Uncle Zhang and Kang Lin contributed a lot. Especially in the later stage, they were almost the two of them who were busy, and Shen Yu took a lot of laziness.
At this moment, Uncle Zhang and Kang Lin were also accompanying Mr. Shen to welcome the guests in the lobby. Shen Yu was unable to move, and planned to wait until the birthday banquet was halfway through, and then go on quietly.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Shen Yu had nothing to do, so she just picked up the tablet and played the TV series.
At this time, he suddenly heard a slight knock on the door.
Shen Yu paused, tapped the tablet with her fingertips, and listened carefully for a while after the TV series was paused.
Sure enough, there was a sound.
But it was not the knock on the door that Shen Yu thought before, but the sound of a card scraping through the door lock, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, then put the tablet resting on his lap on the coffee table, got up and staggered to the door.
Open the door.
I saw a beautifully dressed woman standing outside, she was slightly bowed, holding something in her hand, and was fiddling with the lock on the door.
Her long black hair, as beautiful as seaweed, slipped from her shoulders. She stared at the door that opened suddenly with rounded eyes.
"Who are you?" the woman asked, and when she opened her mouth, the smell of alcohol rushed to her face.
Shen Yu frowned, subconsciously took two steps back, and asked instead, "Who are you?"
"I am..." The woman stood up straight and uttered three words inarticulately, which should be her name.
Only then did Shen Yu see clearly that the card in the woman's hand was a room card.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously softened his tone: "This is my room, you have gone to the wrong place."
"Ah?" The woman opened her mouth, her delicate face with light makeup was full of drunkenness and bewilderment, she tilted her head, and murmured after a long time, "So I went to the wrong place, no wonder I can't open the door..."
Shen Yu hummed and was about to close the door.
He never liked to meddle in such nosy matters, and besides, the object was a drunk woman. If something happened accidentally, he might not be able to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River.
But before closing the door, Shen Yu suddenly remembered that this is a hotel owned by Shen's company, which is under his management.
So Shen Yu abruptly stopped closing the door, and while speaking, he reached out to get the room card in the woman's hand.
"Let me see which room you are in, and I will ask the hotel waiter to take you back to your room later."
Unexpectedly, before his fingertips touched the card, he saw the woman's wrist turn, avoiding Shen Yu's hand in time, her flexible movements were completely different from the clumsy and dull her just now.
Shen Yu was stunned.
Just as he was about to speak, the woman suddenly seemed to be sober, even her eyes became clear, she blushed and said thank you to him, then ran away stepping on her high heels.
Shen Yu: "..."
Looking at the figure of the woman running away, he felt strange.
Shen Yu shook her head, closed the door, turned around and staggered back to the wheelchair and sat down.
It wasn't until she picked up the tablet to play the TV series again that Shen Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong just now - the hotel had closed down a week ago, which means that there are no guests staying in the hotel now.
The management staff and waiters in the hotel have already taken care of the entire hotel. Except for the lobby on the first floor and the coffee shop on the second floor, other floors are temporarily closed to the public.
Even the eighth floor where Shen Yu is located is also a place for guests to stay temporarily after the birthday banquet.
and so--
How could that woman appear on the eighth floor?
Still holding the key card of the hotel room...
The more Shen Yu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly put down the tablet, controlled the wheelchair and went to the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a tall figure standing outside.
It wasn't the woman just now, but Tang Li in a neat suit.
Tang Li raised his hand, as if he was about to knock on the door, but the door suddenly opened, he was taken aback for a moment, then raised his lips and smiled: "Can I come in?"
"Of course." Shen Yu sat on the wheelchair and turned sideways to give Tang Li room to come in.
Tang Li asked: "Are you planning to go out just now?"
"Oh, no." Shen Yu closed the door and followed Tang Li. After thinking about it for a while, he still decided not to tell Tang Li about the woman, so he casually found a reason, "I seem to have heard something, I just opened the door to take a look, I didn't expect you to come."
Tang Li turned his head, looked at Shen Yu and smiled: "Really?"
These words seemed to make Tang Li feel very happy, his black eyes were filled with bits of light, the corners of his mouth raised a distinct arc, and his originally stern face seemed to be covered with a layer of soft light.
Tang Li was used to being expressionless, and rarely showed such a heartfelt smile now.
Only in front of Shen Yu would he laugh so defenselessly.
Shen Yu raised her head, and Tang Li's smiling face was reflected in her clear eyes. For some reason, the tension that had arisen from worrying about that woman suddenly disappeared completely.
Tang Li is like a calming medicine.
Let his whole body be relieved from some kind of anxious mood.
Despite this, Tang Li was still sensitive to Shen Yu's strangeness. He squatted in front of the wheelchair, gently held Shen Yu's hand on his knee, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yu came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "It's okay."
Tang Li knew that Shen Yu was lying, but since Shen Yu didn't intend to tell, he didn't ask any more questions, but changed the subject calmly: "Shen Rong also came from Jincheng tonight."
Hearing this, Shen Yu frowned: "I didn't invite him."
Moreover, he had discussed with Mr. Shen beforehand that he would not allow any collateral relatives of the Shen family to bring Shen Rong to the birthday banquet.
Tang Li squeezed Shen Yu's hand, and sighed softly: "He brought a friend with him, but the security guards prevented them from entering, and they kept guarding outside the gate. Grandpa Shen couldn't see it, so he had to let them in gone."
Shen Yu: "Friend?"
Tang Li nodded: "A person who makes music."
Even if Shen Yu was reluctant, Shen Rong had already come, it was impossible for him to drive those two people out in front of many guests, so in desperation, he waved his hand.
Forget it.
Let Shen Rong be nothing.
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that Uncle Zhang came to inform Shen Yu to go downstairs.
Wearing a light gray suit, Shen Yu was thin and thin. She was sitting in a wheelchair. The moment she was pushed out of the elevator by Uncle Zhang, she attracted the attention of many guests on the field.
To put it mildly, this birthday banquet was a dinner party, but in fact, everyone knew that it was just a high-end entertainment venue. The guests who came here either wanted to catch up with the high branches of the Shen family, or wanted to expand their interpersonal relationship.
Except for a few close friends of Mr. Shen, there are probably not many people who really came to congratulate Mr. Shen on his birthday.
Many people around stared at Shen Yu, like a fox staring at a rabbit, looking ready to move.
It's a pity that before they had a chance to strike up a conversation with Shen Yu, they watched this "cooked duck" cheerfully called by Mr. Shen not far away.
Mr. Shen was wearing a red and black shroud, full of energy, and his voice was exceptionally loud. Surrounded by a group of old friends and juniors, he waved happily at Shen Yu.
"Xiaoyu." After seeing the wheelchair under Shen Yu clearly, Old Man Shen's eyes widened immediately, "Can't you walk on the ground? Why are you sitting in a wheelchair again?"
Shen Yu replied politely with a smile: "It's inconvenient to walk with a cane. It's more convenient to use a wheelchair on such an important occasion."
"So that's the case, my grandson is really considerate." The reproach on Mr. Shen's face instantly turned into a deeper smile, and then he turned his head and said to his old friends, "My Xiaoyu has been able to walk on the ground a long time ago. Is there a normal life? problem, but the doctors say it will take a few years to get to the level of strides I used to have."
An old friend hurriedly said: "It's good to be able to recover, it's just a matter of time, and a few years will pass in a flash."
Others echoed: "Yeah, in the blink of an eye, we are all so old."
As soon as the conversation was over, Mr. Shen gradually turned the topic to another direction. He sighed heavily, and said sadly: "My Xiaoyu is almost 30 years old, and now I don't even have anyone to marry. I am an old man. , I am so old that I still have insomnia all night because of this matter."
Another old friend hurriedly said: "What a coincidence, my niece is also single, and she just came back from studying abroad last year..."
As he spoke, he pulled out the tall woman who was standing neatly behind him. The woman had short, refined hair and light makeup, and nodded to Shen Yu politely and shyly.
Shen Yu: "..."
He watched coldly as Mr. Shen and his old friend sang together, without saying a word, turned around and left while controlling the wheelchair.
Old Mr. Shen's anxious voice came from behind: "Hey Xiaoyu, don't leave. If you are not satisfied, grandpa will change it for you. How about this girl?"
As he said that, there was also the voice of other people urging his juniors, "What are you still doing here? Go talk to him, what age is it, girls should take the initiative..."
Shen Yu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He had an inexplicable feeling that he had entered the vegetable market, and those girls were the cabbages on the market, and he was free to choose.
Shen Yu felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was holding a breath in his heart, he continued to speed up the wheelchair, and came to Tang Li in front of the bar.
Tang Li was sitting on a high chair with one leg bent and the other on the ground, his posture was a little lazy, his expression was as cold as if there was a layer of cold mist lingering on his face, four or five young people gathered around him Men and women were chatting with him about something.
Seeing Shen Yu approaching with an unkind expression, those men and women scattered like a flock of birds and beasts.
Seeing the depression in Shen Yu's expression, Tang Li burst into a smile, and the low air pressure around him dissipated instantly.
He asked, "Are you angry?"
Shen Yu pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time before she said helplessly: "Sure enough, I am not suitable for this kind of occasion."
"Yes." Tang Li reached out and grabbed Shen Yu's wrist, and squeezed it lightly twice as if playing with it, "You looked ugly just now, look at how fast those people ran after seeing you."
Only then did Shen Yu realize and recall the reactions of those young people, feeling even more depressed for a moment, touched her face, and said to herself: "If I am angry again, I won't scare them like that, right?" ?”
People who don't know think it's a ghost coming...
Tang Li lifted the corners of his mouth, looking down at Shen Yu's little movements, the surging emotion in his chest was about to break free, and burst out with a roar, God knows how much effort he had to suppress that impulse.
But before he knew it, his hand touched Shen Yu's cheek.
His fingertips were blown cold by the cold wind, and when they touched Shen Yu's hot skin, it seemed that an electric current flowed through, directly hitting the deepest part of his heart.
At this moment, how much he wanted time to freeze.
He never had to take his hand away again.
However, this idea can only be thought about. Before Tang Li could take his hand away, he felt a ray of cool wind blowing through his fingertips. When he realized it, he found that Shen Yu had already retreated a certain distance in a wheelchair.
Tang Li's outstretched hand was still frozen in mid-air. After a long time, he shook his five fingers and slowly withdrew his hand.
