Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

He Yuan hesitated, but He Yuzhu's smile remained unchanged.

Even though he was feeling nauseous and very upset.

He still didn't want to show the slightest discomfort in front of his daughter.

"Daddy!" The little girl finally called out softly, hesitantly throwing herself into He Yuzhu's arms.

When He Yuzhu picked up He Yuan, his head was actually dizzy, but he still steadily held this daughter he had never met before and kissed her on the cheek.

"Giggle... It tickles..." The little girl laughed without a care in the world.

The bond between father and son is always a strange thing.

He Yuan was initially a little scared of He Yuzhu, but when He Yuzhu held her in his arms, Lou Xiao'e noticed that He Yuzhu's expression was not right and asked her to get down, but she refused to get down no matter what.

He Yuan buried her little head in He Yuzhu's arms and hugged He Yuzhu's neck tightly with both hands, completely ignoring Lou Xiao'e's calls.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little seasick."

"Where's Mom?" He Yuzhu waved his hand, declining Lou Xiao'e's offer, and carried his little daughter steadily into the house.

And the first person he asked was Tanya Li.

It's normal not to see He Daqing here, after all, it's already 1 a.m. Even if this is He Yuzhu's first time in Hong Kong, there's no rule about making the father wait for the son.

But this is Lou Xiao'e's home, so it would be abnormal not to see Tan Yali.

Tan Yali's absence can only mean one thing: she still harbors resentment towards He Yuzhu.

Or rather, this cheap mother-in-law has her own pride and arrogance.

This is normal, considering the things that happened between He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e.

Regardless of who made the first move, the third child is now in Lou Xiao'e's belly, and He Yuzhu still hasn't given any explanation.

It's perfectly normal for Tan Yali, Lou Xiao'e's biological mother, to harbor resentment towards He Yuzhu.

"Mom..." He Yuzhu arrived in the living room and sincerely called out to Tan Yali, who was sitting on the sofa with a stern face.

And he bowed in response.

Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, he had to offer the old lady a way out.

The old lady watched as He Yuzhu, carrying He Yuan who weighed over 40 pounds, bowed to her, her expression clearly displeased. Lou Xiao'e, standing nearby, kept giving her meaningful glances…
All the dissatisfaction in her heart could only be suppressed at this moment.

"Sit down quickly and put Yuanyuan down. This little thing eats like a little pig, she's so heavy."

"Zhu Zi, you must have had a long journey?" Tan Yali didn't embarrass He Yuzhu; instead, she gently showed concern for her son-in-law.

"It's alright! It's just that I've never been able to swim before, so I'm not used to it." He Yuzhu didn't put his daughter down, but sat down with her in his arms.

The key is that he couldn't let go either; He Yuan was holding him tightly.

"The gentleman has been vomiting ever since he boarded the ship; it's been quite difficult for him," added Ah Biao, who followed him in.

He accompanied He Xinghua on his trip there, and then stayed with He Yuzhu on his way to Hong Kong Island.

He knew very well that even if he died on the road, he had to ensure He Yuzhu's safety.

So he was really worried the whole way, afraid that something might happen to He Yuzhu.

This is definitely different from his role as a bodyguard for Ho Hing-wah. Ho Hing-wah could openly travel in and out of Hong Kong Island and the mainland, while his role as a bodyguard was more about protecting against the dangers posed by others.

Protecting He Yuzhu means guarding against everything.

The reason he followed me in was actually to ask Lou Xiao'e what she had planned for tomorrow.

For example, with the mansion brightly lit up today, making such a commotion, many paparazzi waiting outside must have noticed these events.

Should we inform the media?

He must think things through thoroughly.

Being a bodyguard isn't just about protecting your employer's safety. Especially for someone like Ah Biao, who's more like a retainer.

"Thank you so much, Abiao. If it weren't for him, I would have almost fallen into the sea twice." He Yuzhu was definitely exaggerating. If there had been such a danger, it wouldn't have been Abiao's achievement, but rather his dereliction of duty.

Lou Xiao'e understood, took a thick red envelope that she had prepared long ago from the coffee table, stood up and handed it to A Biao, gave him a few words of advice, and A Biao thanked her and left.

"Sister-in-law, have you prepared something for my brother to eat?" Guo Shumiao, who had been sitting quietly on the sidelines since entering the house, finally spoke up.

She sensed something was off, especially from Tanya Li's side.

In this situation, she should have said goodbye and left.

But this is He Yuzhu, her closest relative, so even if she has to grit her teeth, she will stand by He Yuzhu's side.

"There's sea cucumber stewed with millet porridge, there's..." Lou Xiao'e also felt embarrassed, and her mother was probably still a little uncomfortable.

After He Yuzhu sat down, Tan Yali did not say anything to him.

The current situation is quite delicate.

The old lady was definitely angry and wanted to strike while the iron was hot and finalize some things now.

But He Yuzhu is really suffering now. It's already quite an achievement that he's managed to maintain his composure until now.

As for making him apologize and promising Lou Xiao'e something to Tan Yali, that's another matter.

Right now, he really doesn't have the brainpower to think about it.

"Millet porridge, even better with some pickled vegetables!" He Yuzhu casually added.

He Yuzhu only felt alive again after he ate a mouthful of hot porridge.

He took out a handkerchief and first wiped He Yuan's mouth, who was mooching meals from him.

Now he knew why his little daughter had gotten so fat.

This little guy has such a good appetite.

Lou Xiao'e prepared a pot of porridge for him, but He Yuzhu only ate a few bites, while he fed the little girl quite a lot.

"Sister Hua, go and prepare a bath for the master, and also get his change of clothes ready," Lou Xiao'e instructed the maid.

She never expected that her mother would argue with He Yuzhu.

Aside from the polite exchanges just now, the old lady sat on the sofa with her eyes closed, resting, without uttering a single word of concern.

He Yuzhu, who usually has high emotional intelligence, didn't seem to think of talking to Tan Yali today for some reason.

This scene is somewhat like a live-in son-in-law and a fault-finding mother-in-law.

He Yuzhu waved his hand, got up and handed He Yuan to Guo Shumiao, instructing her, "Take Yuan Yuan upstairs to sleep."

His words were gentle, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

The little girl still clung tightly to his collar, saying in a pitiful voice, "I want to sleep with Daddy tonight."

He Yuzhu smiled and said to the little girl, "Daddy's going to take a shower. After I'm done, Daddy will come upstairs to keep you company, okay?"

The little girl hesitated, then believed, and nodded gently.

After Guo Shumiao carried He Yuan away.

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed to Tan Yali and said with a wry smile, "Mom, if you want to scold me, then scold me."

"It's all my fault. Over the years, I've caused Xiao'e so much suffering and made you worry too."

Giving in is no big deal.

After all, it really was his fault. (End of Chapter)
