Lou Xiao'e, whose face had been flushed just moments before, turned deathly pale upon hearing Ma Hua's words.
What does MCA mean by this? Is it trying to get rid of me? Does it look down on me?
I've been married, I'm the daughter of a capitalist, but I never intended to cling to you.
You're the one who came to me first, and you even kissed me first just now. Waaaaaah!
Lou Xiao'e felt increasingly aggrieved as she thought about it, and tears finally welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face.
Even Ma Hua was stunned; what was wrong with this silly girl?
Ma Hua thought something had happened and immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Has something happened to your family? What happened? Tell me!
Is it because someone is targeting your family? Tell me quickly, I'm so worried!
When Ma Hua saw Lou Xiao'e crying, he assumed she was crying because her family was being targeted and she couldn't leave.
However, the real reason Lou Xiao'e cried was different from what Ma Hua thought.
Lou Xiao'e's mind was filled with mixed feelings, and her thoughts were in a jumbled mess.
What did MCA mean just now? Do they really want to kick me out?
The more anxious the MCA members were to ask, the more heartbroken Lou Xiao'e became in her tears.
When MCA saw this, they were also at a loss. What if someone argued with them?
He could have just slapped her across the face, but the woman was crying.
Especially women he's had relationships with.
What am I supposed to do? I've never experienced this before. I can't exactly slap myself in the face, can I?
Ma Hua tried to comfort her for a long time, but Lou Xiao'e kept crying.
Ma Hua was furious. "You think you can cry with your mouth, huh?"
Okay, Ma Hua simply cupped Lou Xiao'e's head in his hand and then kissed her.
Lou Xiao'e felt Ma Hua's actions, her eyes widening in surprise. "Ahhhhh, weren't you trying to get rid of me?! Why are you kissing me now?!"
After a long while, their lips parted, and Lou Xiao'e finally stopped crying.
She just pouted and turned her head away angrily, not daring to look at Ma Hua.
"Okay, okay, stop crying. You won't look pretty if you keep crying."
"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, I'm here for you, don't be afraid," Ma Hua comforted her.
Lou Xiao'e turned away angrily when she heard Ma Hua say that, not wanting to look at him.
Hmph, I never expected you, Ma Hua, to be this kind of person. Before, Lou Xiao'e only thought this young man was...
Young, handsome, capable, and talented—I never expected him to be so shameless.
But why do I love listening to what he says?
If Ma Hua heard this, she would definitely tell her, "That's what they call 'women don't love bad men'."
After a long silence, Lou Xiao'e finally calmed down and looked at Ma Hua with some suspicion: "How did you know our family was being targeted?"
Ma Hua then recounted what he had seen that afternoon to Lou Xiao'e.
Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e anxiously grasped Ma Hua's hand: "Do you remember where Xu Youde went?"
"Yes, I know it. It's that big compound next to Wencong Hutong. There are soldiers guarding the entrance with guns."
Ma Hua nodded, of course he remembered.
Lou Xiao'e looked dejected when she heard Ma Hua say that. Just as her father had suspected.
His family had been targeted by a high-ranking official, and Xu Damao was merely a pawn in their game.
No wonder Xu Damao was so audacious as to extort money from his own family.
Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e recounted everything that had happened recently to Ma Hua in detail.
After hearing this, Ma Hua glanced at Lou Xiao'e in surprise. Good heavens, the Lou family is really something else.
What's wrong? You did things without hiding anything from Xu Damao.
No wonder, in the original story, when the wind picked up, your house was so easily ransacked by Xu Damao and his men.
Then you got together with Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao still had you completely under his control.
Tsk tsk, so they knew all your backup plans.
It's only because Xu Damao still has some conscience; otherwise, your family would have been wiped out long ago.
After pondering for a moment, Ma Hua simply offered a comforting remark: "As long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood."
Money is just an external thing; what's most important for you now is to get out of here quickly.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger. If we don't leave now, it will really, really be too late. I reckon...
There aren't many people targeting your family yet; they don't have the guts to raid your home directly.
"If it's late, you probably won't be able to leave, you'll probably be sent to a cowshed and paraded through the streets every day."
Lou Xiao'e was startled when she heard Ma Hua say that. Was it really that serious?
Seeing Lou Xiao'e's expressionless face, Ma Hua quickly hugged her and gently comforted her.
But what I was really thinking was, "This is serious?? There's something even more serious that I haven't even mentioned yet."
Sending your family to a farm is the best way out.
Do you really think your dad has lived a carefree life in Beijing for so many years without a single scandal?
I don't believe it. Your father's business was so big before. If he hadn't cooperated with the Japanese and the Kuomintang, who would believe it?
That means your father secretly supported the Communist Party back then; otherwise, he would have been purged long ago.
But we could escape it back then, not this time. This time it's a complete reckoning.
Your family is now the original sin.
Lou Xiao'e felt somewhat relieved to see how concerned Ma Hua was: "Yes, I understand."
I'll tell my dad when I get home. Thank you.
Ma Hua held Lou Xiao'e in his arms, and his body gradually began to react.
Lou Xiao'e also felt it, and spat twice, "Pah, this bad boy!"
