Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Once He Yuzhu uttered those words of submission, Tan Yali could no longer maintain her composure.

She quickly stood up and gently helped him up, saying, "Zhu Zi, there's no need for this."

Mom doesn't blame you.

To be honest, Mom should thank you.

"If it weren't for you, Xiao'e and I would be living or dead right now."

What Tanya Li was most afraid of was that He Yuzhu would really treat her like a lord.

Although He Yuzhu had said to Lou Xiao'e countless times that he would not covet the business and wealth Lou Xiao'e had built in Hong Kong.

But this is only He Yuzhu's side of the story.

Tan Yali and He Yuzhu hadn't seen each other for almost twenty years, and who knows what He Yuzhu was thinking.

The wealth that Lou Xiao'e earned must belong to the He family.

But whether it belongs to He Xinghua or He Yuzhu is a very different matter.

From any perspective, Tan Yali hopes that He Yuzhu will keep his promise.

But when faced with enormous wealth, she dared not easily trust anyone.

The old lady definitely had her own calculations in mind. Even though she seemed to have reconciled with He Yuzhu, she still remained wary.

On one side is a fortune of hundreds of millions, and on the other side is a monthly salary of a few hundred yuan in mainland China.

More importantly, He Xinghua did not grow up with He Yuzhu at all. How much affection could there be between father and son?

Having experienced the infighting within a large family, Tan Yali finds it hard to believe that He Yuzhu has no selfish motives.

Lou Bancheng's eldest son was not the most outstanding either.

However, Lou Bancheng still placed the family's legacy on his eldest son. Before the liberation, most of the wealth was taken to Hong Kong by the eldest son of the Lou family.

If Lou Bancheng hadn't died, it would still be a question of who would inherit his wealth in Beijing.

Lou Xiao'e can ignore these things, but Tan Yali definitely needs to think about them more.

He Yuzhu sat down on the sofa and said thoughtfully, "Mom, don't worry."

Xiao'e's earnings will definitely go to Xinghua, Yuanyuan, and the baby in Xiao'e's belly.

I will not show any favoritism on this point.

Xiao'e was willing to be good to the children and share some of her wealth with them.

This is Xiao'e's love for her younger generation.

·····
There is certainty that there will be development in the mainland.

No matter how well Hong Kong Island develops, without the support of the mainland, it's all just a castle in the air, an illusion.

Putting aside everything else, if there were no mainland China...

Even foreigners wouldn't be this democratic here.

You probably already know how they play in Africa and other places.

Therefore, if Xiao'e wants to protect her wealth, she must be close to the mainland and take the mainland as her root in order to flourish in Hong Kong.

That's why I asked Xiao'e to shift her career focus back to the mainland.

There was no scheming or machinations from any powerful family…

He Yuzhu knew what Tan Yali was worried about, so he simply told her the truth.

Tan Yali's concern was that He Xinghua would become an appendage of He Ping and He Yuan.

It's normal for them, who lived through the pre-liberation era, to misunderstand He Yuzhu's plans.

He had two sons, one pursuing a career in government and the other developing his business.

No matter how successful a business is or how much money it makes, it's still just an appendage.

A career in government is the foundation of a family's livelihood.

He Yuzhu is now encouraging Lou Xiao'e to move her career back to the mainland, but Tan Yali actually disagrees.

She was also afraid that He Yuzhu was just using Lou Xiao'e as a pawn.

Using Lou Xiao'e's enormous wealth, they supported the main wife of the He family in her career advancement. This would inevitably come at the expense of He Xinghua's interests.

"...Also, in three or four years, when it is fully open, I will definitely have to retire."

Mom, the mainland doesn't allow someone like me to rise to a very high position right now.

Even Xinghua's brother, He Ping, is unlikely to rise to a very high position in the future.

Unless I'm gone.

"The situation here is completely different from before liberation," He Yuzhu said sincerely.

His words finally moved Tanya Li.

She hadn't expected that He Yuzhu had considered all the possible future scenarios and explained them to her so clearly.

"How could our affairs affect the child's future?" Lou Xiao'e hadn't thought that far ahead and was quite surprised by He Yuzhu's statement.

He Yuzhu laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's incredibly difficult for me to come to Hong Kong Island. If it weren't for Lao Lu owing me a favor and acting as my guarantor..."

Nobody dares to let me come over.

I'm just a relatively minor principal.

Think about it, if He Ping becomes a capable leader in the future, his father will have two wives and his brother will be a big businessman.

How are ordinary people supposed to view this?
It definitely won't work under our rules.

In the workplace, it's impossible for the He family to rise to the top without two or three generations of experience and accumulation.

Or, perhaps after I pass away, that child might have a chance.

I've held them back.

"Don't talk nonsense. You're alive and well. You're still young. Why are you talking about that?" Lou Xiao'e felt bad when she heard He Yuzhu say these things.

After all, if it weren't for her willfulness back then, He Yuzhu might have progressed a little slower, but she wouldn't be seeing the ceiling of her career now.

In their forties, they are in their prime in the workplace.

But He Yuzhu has already started planning his retirement timeline.

This is also unfair to He Yuzhu.

At least, Tan Yali, who had been wary and cautious just moments before, now felt a little reluctant to do so.

"Zhu Zi, take a shower and rest first."

"Let's talk again tomorrow when you've recovered," Tan Yali said awkwardly as she stood up and advised He Yuzhu.

She was originally worried about Lou Xiao'e's vast fortune, but she never considered what He Yuzhu had sacrificed.

The future of two generations.

Compared to this, it seems that He Yuzhu is at a greater disadvantage.

How can she criticize He Yuzhu now?
How can we get He Yuzhu to explain those things clearly?
After taking a shower and changing into silk underwear, He Yuzhu took Lou Xiao'e's arm and walked to the master bedroom.

Before entering the bedroom, he suddenly said to Lou Xiao'e, "Which room is Yuanyuan in? I'll bring her over."

Lou Xiao'e hesitated and said, "Forget it, she should be asleep."

He Yuzhu shook his head and smiled, "That won't do, I promised my daughter..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door to the guest room suddenly opened.

Wearing only a tank top and a small bra, He Yuan peeked out from under the soft light. Barefoot, she stood there and pouted as she said to Lou Xiao'e, "I haven't slept. I've been waiting for Daddy!"
My mother broke her promise.

snort! "

Lou Xiao'e was slightly timid, making it seem as if she was about to do something with He Yuzhu.

What can she do while she's heavily pregnant?
The little girl didn't care what Lou Xiao'e was thinking; she had already run quickly to He Yuzhu with her short legs.

He Yuzhu picked her up and deliberately exaggerated, "That's right, Yuanyuan promised Daddy she would sleep together."

How could I break my promise?

Lou Xiao'e was so angry that her teeth itched. She pointed her finger at He Yuan's forehead and scolded, "If you wet the bed at night, let your dad deal with you. I won't care."

The little girl blushed. (End of Chapter)
