Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

He Yuzhu said "you and the children," and Lou Xiao'e understood the meaning behind his words.

She's gotten used to it and accepted it.

If she could get along peacefully with Liu Ting, she wouldn't want a silent ending with He Yuzhu.

He Daqing arrived early the next morning.

But Yu Li and He An did not come over.

This was something He Yuzhu specifically instructed him to do; he really wasn't prepared how to face Yu Li and He An.

He Daqing pretended to be oblivious to his son's current situation and dared not interfere too much.

Even if He Yuzhu were just a cook, or even just a unit leader, He Daqing would have said something to keep He Yuzhu in Hong Kong Island.

But He Yuzhu is now the principal of a senior college, a position that is far too important to He Daqing.

It can be said that He Daqing is now living a life of plenty, with no worries about food or drink.

In his mind, the title of principal He Yuzhu was far more important than Lou Xiao'e's billions of dollars.

This is the understanding of the older generation.

Since the beginning of Chinese history, the recognition of knowledge has always surpassed that of money.

Therefore, Li Shixian lived like a vagrant, wandering for half his life.

But in the eyes of the Chinese people, it is bold and unrestrained.

Du Shisheng lacked the ability to govern a country and manage a household; even as a minor official, he could only flee. Yet, in the hearts of later generations, he remains a man who cared deeply for his country and its people.

Conversely, those historically famous, incredibly wealthy merchants and tycoons generally had little reputation.

Even if those people have done more good deeds.

"I guess Yu Li probably knows something about you."

Given the environment she was in at the hotel, it would be difficult to completely conceal these rumors.

An'an is doing well; she attends a full-time boarding girls' school.

When I sent her in, I specifically told her not to mention anything about you.

"There shouldn't be anyone..." He Daqing's words didn't sound like a father and son meeting, but rather like a steward reporting something to his master.

"It's alright, Lili has always been a perceptive person."

Even if she knew, she wouldn't blurt it out.

Father, what are you planning to do?
Are you planning to spend your retirement here, or go back to Beijing to retire?
You need to think about this carefully, while you still can.

"We can't wait until you're lying in bed to think about those things." He Yuzhu didn't care what He Daqing said.

Instead, he brought up the matter he cared about most.

He Daqing stammered and avoided eye contact.

He's really torn between the two right now.

He definitely wants to go back to Beijing, after all, he's lived there for decades since he was a child.

Even though Beijing is less developed than Hong Kong now, He Daqing still feels that the air there is sweeter.

But he was also reluctant to leave Hong Kong Island.

Putting everything else aside, he also has a young and beautiful nurse.

After returning from Beijing, He Daqing became inseparable from that young nurse again.

Originally, when He Daqing was in Beijing, he discussed with his children that he planned to reform the management of the Tan Family Restaurant and then take his two concubines back to Beijing to retire.

Although He Yuzhu knew that it was not appropriate for the mainland to do this right now, he still agreed to it.

It can be said that He Yuzhu's change of mind was closely related to the behavior of the third concubine in Beijing.

Although she was several decades younger than He Daqing, she was a thrifty person and had no intention of causing any trouble.

According to the third concubine, she and her sisters had also experienced hardship in their childhood.

Therefore, He Yuzhu thought of arranging a courtyard so that the two sisters could live in the front and back yards of He Daqing's house.

Although it will have an impact, it won't be too significant.

After all, since the reform and opening up, all sorts of strange things have happened. Things like secretaries and mistresses became commonplace just a few years after the reform and opening up.

Those nouveau riche feel ashamed if they don't have a beautiful woman by their side when they go out.

Besides, He Daqing was simply living a peaceful life with his two wives who had registered their marriages in Hong Kong.

In this matter, He Yuzhu also risked his reputation, betting that his two concubines wouldn't cause trouble.

It could also be said that this was a concession made by He Yuzhu to He Daqing.

As it turns out, He Daqing has now caused some trouble.

He couldn't bear to part with his little nurse.

In fact, he spent the night at the nurse's place last night.

Today, the nurse was thinking of coming with him to meet "a very important person".

He Daqing didn't reveal He Yuzhu's identity to the nurse, which was probably his last moment of lucidity.

Looking at He Daqing's expression, He Yuzhu knew perfectly well that his father's old problem had relapsed.

He put his daughter down. The little girl had been sitting obediently on He Yuzhu's lap, not making a fuss, and was quite well-behaved.

"Yuanyuan, go see what Mom is doing," He Yuzhu gently dismissed her daughter.

After He Yuan toddled upstairs on her short legs, He Yuzhu said to He Daqing in a serious tone, "Dad, you need to think about how to finish this properly."

You suffered when you were young, and you also enjoyed happiness in your old age.

As your son, I don't want to ruin your current happiness.

That's why I said I could let you take two concubines back to Beijing.

But some of the thrills are not to be taken for granted.

You know that's not real.

Why would a young woman in her early twenties fall so deeply in love with an old man like you?
What could they possibly want from you?

·····
Besides, as you know, we won't acknowledge that person.

Liu Ting won't admit it, and neither will Xiao'e.

Will you choose us, or that person?

Seeing He Daqing's bitter expression and struggle, He Yuzhu said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Do you know?"

When you returned to Beijing last year, your confidante also had other thoughts.

She even contacted the director of the erotic film.

This was He Yuzhu's trump card; Lou Xiao'e's people had been keeping a close eye on that young nurse.

That person wasn't obedient and didn't dare to cause any major trouble, but he did conduct quite a few tests.

To be honest, Lou Xiao'e was also annoyed.

If it weren't for considering He Daqing's feelings, that woman would have been dealt with long ago.

Upon hearing that He Yuzhu wanted to contact He Daqing in the morning, Lou Xiao'e immediately complained to He Yuzhu about it.

"What does she want to do?" He Daqing was truly frightened.

He knew that the young nurse wasn't sincere towards him, just like what He Yuzhu had just said. In fact, he knew it even better than He Yuzhu.

But he always believed that his relationship with that nurse was just an exchange of benefits.

He enjoys other people's youth, while they are after his money.

He could accept anything, even if the nurse had a flirtatious relationship with someone else.

But when He heard that the nurse had connections with the directors who made those films, this crossed He Daqing's bottom line.

If she were to use the title of his confidante to film that kind of movie...

The He family would lose all face.

"What for? To make money!"
Why would anyone follow you? Isn't it just because they're after your money?

"Someone in Taiwan is looking for her, ten films, one million..." He Yuzhu's words were quite cold. (End of this chapter)
