That look in his eyes was as if he wanted to kill someone to silence them.
"Alright, alright, don't look at me like that. You weren't the only one who saw that night. I'm not talking about Qin Huairu, you know her too!"
"I know him too?!" The old man didn't care what the third man knew. Of course he knew; after all these years, he'd been a doorman. Anyone with a brain would know something. Besides, the third man's eyes were as sharp as a sieve.
Lou Xiao'e!
"No, didn't Lou Xiao'e already leave?"
"He's back! And with a child. I'm guessing they got together before he left."
"Good heavens..." an old man muttered to himself.
Putting myself in Wang Shouren's shoes is a real headache.
What's this? Not only did he take in two sisters, but then a rich girl with her child showed up at his door? It's just that there was no internet at this time; if there had been, this old man would probably have said "a scene of carnage."
He jumped to his feet: "No, we can't let them in. It will affect Shouren. If the unit finds out, we're finished! We have to keep her calm first."
"But there's more than one Lou Xiao'e..."
"ha?!"
For the first time in all these years, this old man felt "I'm tired, let's just destroy it."
forecourt
Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Weiwei with a half-smile: "Little sister, you haven't succeeded yet, have you?"
Xu Weiwei was furious, her face turned red, but because there was a child next to her, she couldn't say anything, she just gave a cold "humph".
"Siren, go to the backyard first and find your second aunt. I'll come over in a bit," Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.
"Second Aunt?"
"Yes, enter from the backyard, the first house on the left."
"Oh, I'll go then." Wang Siren wasn't shy at all.
Xu Weiwei opened her mouth, watching the little brat run inside. For some reason, a sense of powerlessness welled up inside her. The anger she had felt earlier seemed to have vanished with the wind.
"So? You should go back?" Lou Xiao'e's voice was still gentle, but the certainty in her words angered Xu Weiwei.
"Why should I!"
"Oh? What do you mean by 'on what grounds'?"
Xu Weiwei was also somewhat stunned. Perhaps Lou Xiao'e's tone made her lose her temper slightly. She asked angrily, "Why do you think I'm not with him?"
"That's interesting. Don't you know who he is?"
"Who is he?" Xu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, unsure how to answer.
“He’s a responsible person,” Lou Xiao’e gave her answer. “With his methods, he could have moved out of this kind of courtyard a long time ago. He didn’t leave because one of his lovers was here and he couldn’t leave. So, he’s always been here, for the sake of that lover who is eight years older than him. So, you don’t even know where his house is. I don’t need to say more about who you are.”
Xu Weiwei was stunned. She didn't hear anything else, except for one sentence: "He can stay here for an old lover who is eight years older than him."
Why should I?!
Eight years older!
What's so great about being eight years older?
Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but laugh to herself when she saw Xu Weiwei's appearance.
Great, another helper.
To be honest, she was unsure of herself before coming. After all, thirteen years had passed, and she had no idea what Wang Shouren had become. Time can heal all wounds. She came to this courtyard house to see how Wang Shouren treated Qin Huairu. She knew that, no matter what, if their relationship wasn't made public, Qin Huairu would never leave this courtyard.
That Jia Zhangshi was no pushover; Qin Huairu was the pillar of their entire family.
If Wang Shouren had abandoned Qin Huairu and left this courtyard, Lou Xiao'e would probably have just glanced at him from afar, like a stranger, and then left. What reassured her was that Wang Shouren hadn't; he was still guarding the courtyard. Lou Xiao'e couldn't believe that this guy, who had already entered the Ministry of Industry before she left—a time traveler—hadn't even managed to get a three-courtyard house.
This leads to another problem.
How is she going to fight against the two wives inside?
Over the years, she has been observing the situation in mainland China.
When she saw that the mainland was planning to open its doors to foreign investment, she suddenly remembered what the boy had said to her: "In the future, if it opens up, I will take the lead in charging forward. I will rush out from here and let those damned foreign devils know what the power of China is."
Yes, the guy who leads the charge, how could he possibly represent the country?
In that instant, she seemed to understand.
She knew from back then that the boy had love in his heart, but not much. Everything he did seemed like a carefully orchestrated plan, a grand scheme to unfold.
He had been waiting for this moment, this moment, to lead the charge.
The first thing this leader did was to leave the organization.
So, she came back.
She knew that now that he had left the organization, they could be together openly. Sometimes, flaws are actually strengths. She wanted to come back, to be by his side, to see the brilliance of this young man as he grew up.
Now, Lou Xiao'e is facing a problem.
That is, how to win over Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu.
To be honest, she didn't take those two sisters seriously.
Qin Jingru was a simpleton. She could see right through her as soon as she entered the courtyard. She was the kind of simpleton who only wanted to marry a city man and live a good life. She didn't have much ambition and was the kind of wife who would obey her husband.
But Qin Huairu is quite different. This woman is very shrewd, but she's a bit petty.
However, this information is from thirteen years ago.
She couldn't believe that these two women, after thirteen years in his hands, hadn't made any progress at all.
Therefore, she needed an ally. Originally, she planned to go through the channels of her third and first uncles. After all, her child was the eldest. She thought she could say some nice things, get him in the door, and then things would proceed as planned. Who knew that before she even stepped inside, she would encounter another simpleton.
Isn't he just silly?
This girl is clearly the kind of girl who's extremely proud. In her worldview, love is probably about being with one person for life. So, I can recruit her into my camp. Whether it works out or not doesn't matter; at least she can be cannon fodder.
What? You're saying I, Lou Xiao'e, am cruel?
Ha! They're rivals in love, so why bother talking about being cruel or not!
