Although Tao Ying knew He Daqing, this matter concerned Xu Damao's life and death. She could not care less and wiped her tears, begging:

"Brother Daqing, can you help me one last time? Consider it a plea from me. Damao is my only son. If anything happens to him, how will I live in the future?"

"Brother Daqing, please have pity on me and ask Brother Ping'an for mercy and let my Damao go!"

As she spoke, Tao Ying knelt down in front of He Daqing.

He Daqing felt sad when he saw Tao Ying kneeling on the ground and wiping her tears.

But what can he do? Can he really ask his brothers to plead for mercy?

He Daqing helped Tao Ying up and refused helplessly:

"Tao Ying, please get up! I really can't do anything about Xu Damao's situation!"

Tao Ying thought that He Daqing's attitude had softened, and with a flash of joy in her eyes, she advised:

"An elder brother is like a father. Brother Ping An was raised by you. As long as you ask, he will definitely not refuse!"

"Yes! An elder brother is like a father! Tao Ying, since you know this, you should also know my attitude: Although I can't help Ping An, I will definitely not hold him back!"

When He Daqing said this, his attitude towards Tao Ying became much colder.

"Brother Daqing, are you just going to watch me being helpless for the rest of my life? Aren't you afraid that I will go and make trouble for Chen Xueru?"

Tao Ying looked at He Daqing in disbelief. She didn't expect He Daqing to be so heartless. Tao Ying, flustered, threatened subconsciously.

He Daqing saw Tao Ying threatening him and wanted to ignore this woman. However, seeing Tao Ying's miserable appearance, he softened his heart and said:

"You still have Yueling. If you encounter difficulties in life in the future, you can still come to me. Why are you left alone?"

"Oh, Yueling! Brother Daqing, even if you don't do it for me, you should at least consider Yueling! Damao is his brother, let's not talk about the relationship between the two siblings."

"If Damao is sentenced to death, how can you let her, as the sister of a death row inmate, face the public? Yueling's work and studies will also be affected in the future!"

Tao Ying, who was unwilling to give up, started to talk about Xu Yueling again.

Tao Ying's words really stumped He Daqing. He could ignore Xu Damao's life or death, and he didn't care about Tao Ying's threats. But he couldn't help but think about Xu Yueling. After all, Xu Yueling was his daughter.

"I understand. You go back first! Remember, there is no friendship between us anymore! You are just Xu Yueling's mother!"

"Also, I will make things clear between us and Xueru! From now on, we won't meet again!"

After saying this, He Daqing turned and left without giving Tao Ying a chance to continue speaking.

Looking at He Daqing's resolute back, Tao Ying knew that the last bit of friendship between her and He Daqing was severed by her own hands! She fell to the ground helplessly and burst into tears.

At the Lou family, Lou Xiao'e slept a little late yesterday and just got up. When she came to the living room, she saw a steaming breakfast on the table and a note next to it.

It was written crookedly: I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you. Breakfast is on the table, remember to eat it. He Yuzhu left it!

Although she was obviously satisfied, she said insincerely: "The handwriting is so ugly!" Perhaps this is the tsundere nature of girls!

Thinking about what happened yesterday, Lou Xiao'e felt her face getting slightly hot.

Don't get me wrong, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e have not had any substantial contact yet. The reason why He Yuzhu bought breakfast for Lou Xiao'e was also because of He Ping'an.

Yesterday, He Ping'an was trying to comfort Lou Xiao'e, but he ended up making her vomit. Lou Xiao'e is alone in Beijing, without a friend to counsel her, and she might suffer from psychological trauma.

At first, He Ping'an planned to let his wife counsel Lou Xiao'e, but unfortunately, Yang Yiyi was busy with interviews and had no time.

In desperation, He Ping'an could only turn his attention to his eldest sister-in-law. As for his niece-in-law Yu Li, forget it, maybe they would both cry together.

He Ping'an had never expected that his sister-in-law would have other thoughts after seeing Lou Xiao'e. After chatting with Lou Xiao'e for a while, she made an excuse that she had something to do and called He Yuzhu for help.

He Yuzhu, who was resting at home, was drafted into the army without knowing what was going on. Noticing that only he and Lou Xiao'e were left in the Lou family, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said:

"Aunt Chen called me over in a hurry, asking for help! I can see that you don't look well!"

"After all, we are comrades who have dealt with Xu Damao together. If you have any problems, just tell me and I will definitely do it for you beautifully!"

Seeing He Yuzhu's uncomfortable look, Lou Xiao'e's nervousness finally eased a little.

The current situation was urgent, so she did not contact the Lou and Tan relatives this time. He Yuzhu was the only acquaintance of Lou Xiaoe in Beijing.

After inviting He Yuzhu to sit down, Lou Xiao'e confided her fear and confusion.

"What? Xu Damao's grandson actually dared to hire someone to strip you of your clothes. Come on, Brother Zhuzi will help you enforce justice today!"

When He Yuzhu heard about what happened to Lou Xiao'e, he stood up and went to settle the score with Xu Damao.

"Sit down! Sit here and don't move! You're lucky!" Lou Xiao'e leaned her head on He Yuzhu's shoulder and closed her eyes.

He Yuzhu's body stiffened and he tried to break free, but looking at the haggard and pale Lou Xiao'e, he ended up saying nothing.

After an unknown amount of time, He Yuzhu suddenly felt his shoulder was a little wet. He looked down and found that Lou Xiao'e was crying silently.

"This...that...right!" Although He Yuzhu has been married for many years, he really doesn't know what to say in this situation.

You are really capable, I have never killed anyone until now? In this case, even if He Yuzhu is an idiot, he knows that it is wrong.

But apart from these, he really couldn't think of how to persuade Lou Xiao'e:

"Don't cry, it's not a big deal! From now on, just stay in the factory and I'll take care of your quota in the purchasing department!"

It would have been fine if He Yuzhu hadn't said anything, but as soon as he spoke, Lou Xiao'e burst into tears:

"I really didn't mean to kill anyone! I gave them money! Why did they bully me? Just because I'm a woman, I..."

He Yuzhu sighed, patted Lou Xiaoe's back gently, and listened quietly. Lou Xiaoe didn't care about He Yuzhu's silence, and continued to talk about her distress.

He was the same when he first learned that Yu Li couldn't get pregnant, but no one wanted to listen to his nagging at that time.

Unconsciously, Lou Xiao'e, who was originally just leaning on He Yuzhu's shoulder, was actually embraced by He Yuzhu. Lou Xiao'e reacted after she completely relaxed and ran back to the bedroom with a red face.

In the evening, whether it was because she was hungry or because of He Yuzhu's excellent cooking skills, Lou Xiao'e had a good appetite and ate a lot. She also returned to her old self, at least on the surface.
