Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Chapter 1013: Falling into a trap
He Yuzhu didn't get close to Lou Xiao'e these days, which must have aroused suspicion.

He Yuzhu used the excuse that the matter had been discussed, which stopped most people from testing him in person.

Now the young man has brought this difficult problem on behalf of everyone, which is probably another test.

Logically speaking, He Yuzhu could refuse this.

But when the words came to his lips, He Yuzhu agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll talk to the Hong Kong businessman later.

But don’t have too high expectations, after all, this is just a big thing that happened to him.”

He Yuzhu tried hard to convince himself that he did it for this reason.

But only he himself knew in his heart that he was just thinking about caring about Lou Xiao'e.

Life is like that.

I say I don’t care, I say I don’t pay attention, but I still think about it in my heart.

Especially in the past two days, Lou Xiao'e has not had a good meal because of Lou Bancheng's affairs.

The things that were brought into her room were always brought out without being touched.

It always makes He Yuzhu worried.

This can be said to be He Yuzhu's nature, he is just soft-hearted.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that He Yuzhu owed Lou Xiaoe in his previous life.

He thought he had paid it off.

But whenever Lou Xiao'e encountered trouble, He Yuzhu still thought about protecting that little girl and caring about that little weakling.

It's that simple.

Besides, He Yuzhu still wanted to figure out whether he had done anything with Lou Xiaoe.

Then of course there is the question of what Lou Xiao'e is going to do.

After all, they are already physically intimate.

In this regard, He Yuzhu is actually more traditional than Lou Xiaoe and others.

In his previous life, his life was a mess.

But in this life, he is clean and has never had any problems in this regard.

It was the first time for him and Liu Ting to have sex with each other, and He Yuzhu also wanted to stay with Liu Ting for the rest of his life.

This period of time is actually very short, but to He Yuzhu, it is really too long.

He has been living in guilt these days.

But besides guilt, He Yuzhu also felt like he was reliving an old memory.

He Yuzhu knew that he was very sorry to Liu Ting, but after hiding for so many years, he still couldn't avoid what happened with Lou Xiao'e, which made He Yuzhu unconsciously doubt whether this was all fate.

People are like this. When something happens that they cannot explain rationally, they will attribute it all to fate.

He Yuzhu walked into the hotel lobby full of Soviet style with a heavy heart.

I went up the stairs, turned the corner, and finally arrived outside Lou Xiao'e's room.

He Yuzhu hesitated, but still knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was Ran Qiuye. When she saw He Yuzhu, Ran Qiuye did not give him a good look.

She saw how He Yuzhu was avoiding Lou Xiao'e these days, and she thought it was a good thing at first.

She thought He Yuzhu was a good man who cared about his family and was worthy of being the man she had fallen in love with back then.

But seeing Lou Xiao'e becoming increasingly haggard these days, Ran Qiuye's thoughts inevitably changed. When Lou Xiao'e needed comfort the most, He Yuzhu avoided her, which made Ran Qiuye feel distressed for Lou Xiao'e's infatuation.

Women are like this, they are emotional creatures.

If He Yuzhu sticks around with Lou Xiaoe every day these days, Ran Qiuye might hate He Yuzhu for being a playboy and a scumbag.

She would think that Liu Ting had entrusted her trust to the wrong person and would be very disgusted with He Yuzhu.

But if you ask her to come up with a solution, she doesn't have any good ideas.

He Yuzhu ignored Ran Qiuye's contemptuous look and asked in a low voice: "How is she?"

Hearing this, Ran Qiuye shook his head with a complicated look, and also whispered back: "Not too well, I've had nightmares every day these past few days.

I haven’t had a proper meal for several days.”

He Yuzhu pointed at himself and then pointed inside, indicating that he should go in and see her.

Ran Qiuye didn't answer, but made way for He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu walked into the room. The curtains were drawn and it was a little dark.

Lou Xiao'e was wearing pajamas and curled up on the sofa. When she saw He Yuzhu come in, she just raised her little head slightly.

In fact, He Yuzhu was very surprised. Logically speaking, even if Lou Xiao'e still had some blood ties with Lou Bancheng, she wouldn't be so sad.

But now Lou Xiao'e is like a frightened little animal, helpless and terrified.

He Yuzhu sat down near her. He looked at Lou Xiao'e quietly without speaking.

"I'm not sad..." Lou Xiao'e spoke timidly first.

She looked up at He Yuzhu, and seeing that he was listening to her, she felt a little warm. She slowly stood up, stepped barefoot on the soft carpet, and threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms.

He Yuzhu's body stiffened, but he did not push the girl away, allowing Lou Xiao'e to stay in his arms.

Lou Xiao'e greedily sniffed the scent on He Yuzhu's body, as if she could capture strength from this scent, but she clumsily pulled He Yuzhu's hand and hugged her.

“... He gave away my second sister. It was said that he wanted to find another way to make a living... Then, she died.” Lou Xiao'e's words were vague, but He Yuzhu understood the source of Lou Xiao'e's nightmares in the past few days.

This was the result for Lou Xiao'e's second sister Erni. After Lou Bancheng's incident, Erni was divorced by her husband and kicked out of the family.

She did not have the luck that Lou Xiao'e had in her previous life, where a deaf old lady took her in.

No matter what the deaf old lady thought, at least she gave Lou Xiao'e a place to stay at that time.

But Erni was in a miserable situation. The man didn't want her anymore, so she had to return to the Lou family. At that time, Lou Bancheng had already been dealt with.

Today you are at the steel mill, tomorrow you may be on the local streets.

After all, although the Lou family was in ruins at that time, Erni at least had a place to stay.

Later, Lou Bancheng was assigned to the outside of the Great Wall. Erni had nowhere to go, so she had to follow Lou Bancheng and the others here.

All I can say is that people with a miserable life will always have a miserable life.

Originally, when I came to this place, although life was a little hard, as long as I worked, I could survive.

Especially Erni, who actually had nothing to do with Lou Bancheng's mistakes. She built a shack near where Lou Bancheng was educated, and the three of them huddled together for warmth.

"····He exchanged my second sister for a wild boar leg, and my second sister jumped into the river directly···" When Lou Xiao'e said this, she trembled all over.

She struggled to get into He Yuzhu's arms, trying to draw warmth from him.

She couldn't imagine whether her fate would be the same as her cheap second sister's if she hadn't left the city.

He Yuzhu was also moved by Lou Xiaoe's emotions. He was lost in the past life. With a hoarse voice, He Yuzhu patted Lou Xiaoe's back and comforted her: "No, no, I'm here. I will protect you."
