Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

He Lai followed Lou Bancheng to the dinner table, but He Daqing was nowhere to be found.

He Lai then looked around.

"Your Uncle He should have left. It's okay. I'll ask the driver to take you back later."

Lou Bancheng saw what He Lai meant and said immediately.

"Thank you, Uncle Lou."

He Lai cursed in his heart, thinking that He Daqing was really unreliable for leaving him like this.

"sit down."

As soon as He Lai sat down, Lou Tan brought Lou Xiao'e downstairs.

"Ezi, do you still recognize him?" Lou Bancheng said with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Lai. Although he was quite handsome, she really couldn't remember him for a moment.

He Lai also took a look at her. This was the most miserable woman in the Love Courtyard. She had been schemed against all her life. The key point was that she threw herself at a fool and was rejected. Tell me, isn't it sad? How pathetic.

As a result, everyone in the fan fiction came to bully her and wanted to stab her, but she reluctantly said that she couldn't let Shazhu get away with it.

"You were the boy who was bumped into in Fengze Garden when you were ten years old." Lou Tan reminded from the side.

"Oh...you are the braggart!" Lou Xiao'e suddenly thought of He Lai, the man who said he looked like a New Year picture.

He Lai's face was filled with black lines. What did I say? I really can't remember it!

"Ezi, how can you say that? He Lai is my father's guest today. Apologize quickly."

Lou Bancheng was seriously authentic.

"It's okay, it's okay, Miss Lou didn't mean it, there's no need to apologize."

He Lai said with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e was a little unhappy after being scolded by Lou Bancheng. She sat next to her mother and didn't say anything.

"Try it and see if it suits your taste. This braised shark's fin is Master He's specialty."

Lou Tan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into He Lai's bowl.

"Thank you, Mrs. Lou." After expressing his gratitude, He Lai picked up this delicacy.

Really good! Delicious! Really delicious! Damn delicious!

……

After the meal, He Lai ate half of the meal, while the Lou family members basically just ordered enough.

At Lou Bancheng's signal, Mrs. Lou continued to pick up food for He Lai.

Lou Xiao'e was so jealous.

"That little Laizi, it's okay to call you that, right?" Lou Bancheng said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, I was a little rude, it was just too delicious and I couldn't help myself."

He Lai felt a little embarrassed. After all, the three hosts were watching him wolfing down the food. Fortunately, he was a frequent customer of Fengze Garden, so it was a bit embarrassing.

"Come over if you want to eat. Your uncle Lou still has some food."

"Then Uncle Lou, I won't disturb you guys to rest. I'll take my leave now."

He Lai bowed and prepared to leave.

"Okay, Lao Ma, drive me there."

"Yes, sir." The driver next to him stood up and drove.

He Lai bowed again and left. It was good to have a car to pick us up.

……

Lou Family

"Ezi, starting tomorrow, you don't have to go see that young worker anymore." Lou Bancheng said.

"Really? That's great. I don't want to see him anymore. He's always flattering me and saying nonsense. I'm so annoyed."

When Lou Xiao'e heard what Lou Bancheng said, she suddenly became happy.

"What's wrong, Lao Lou? Didn't you say you would find a man of good family background for Ezi to marry? Why did you change your mind? Is it because..."

"Stop, listen to me. Ezi, go back to your room and have a rest."

Before Lou Tan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lou Bancheng.

After Lou Xiao'e returned to her room, Lou Bancheng spoke to Lou Tan again.

"The situation is a bit unstable. I have decided to slowly transfer assets to Hong Kong City. You keep an eye on Ezi."

"Is this necessary? Do you believe what He said?"

Lou Tan still couldn't understand why a young boy's words were so trustworthy to her master.

"It is better to believe it than not to believe it. We cannot afford to take a wrong step and lose everything.

That guy is right. The landlord's fate is a role model for people like us."

Lou Bancheng recalled the landlords who were tied up with their hands behind their backs and had signs hung on them. Suddenly, the landlord's face turned into his own, and he was frightened.

"As long as you have made up your mind, I have no objection. But what about Ezi's marriage? Ezi is already 19 years old, and she will be old enough in a few years."

Mrs. Lou Tan was still quite worried about Lou Xiao'e. After all, she was her only daughter and she couldn't let her become an old spinster.

"Let her play for a while longer, and you watch her. You must not make a random choice of marriage, otherwise it will harm her for the rest of her life."

After all, how many Jiang Defu are there in the world who can give up their own future for An Jie and stay on the island all their lives without leaving her!

……

Soon they arrived at the courtyard and He Lai was about to open the door and leave.

"Comrade, this is a small gift from my wife. Please accept it."

The driver handed over a large bag from the passenger seat.

"Thank Mrs. Lou for me." He Lai didn't act pretentiously and took it with his hand. There was no need to be polite with a driver.

When we returned to Yard 95, it was already getting dark.

The lights were still on in Sha Zhu's house. He Lai went in and found He Daqing was there too.

"Uncle He, why didn't you wait for me and come back by yourself?"

He Lai complained.

"Well, I'm the one who cooks, how can I just sit there and watch you guys eat? Oh, it seems like Boss Lou gave you a lot of food!"

He Daqing looked at the big bag in He Lai's hand and said with a smile.

When Sha Zhu heard that it was something given by Director Lou, he immediately came to take a look, and his eyes widened after seeing it.

"Xiao Laizi, let Brother Zhuzi make the things for you, so you can practice with me."

Sha Zhu immediately started to ask for it. After all, he rarely had the chance to cook Tan’s dishes because the ingredients were too expensive!

"No, Brother Zhuzi, you are cheating seriously now. I will go back and ask Yu Shui to do it. Yu Shui knows a little bit anyway, and if he doesn't know, he can ask Uncle He to teach him."

He Lai avoided Sha Zhu's hand and said deliberately.

"I will definitely not eat secretly this time. Just let my wife go over and eat some."

Sha Zhu promised.

"I don't believe you. My sister-in-law is here. Xi'er can stay away. Xiao Yangzi can stay away. Only Jingru has nothing to eat."

He Lai said with a smile.

When Qin Jingru heard this, she immediately pouted and said, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. It's no big deal. If you eat it, you will definitely have diarrhea!"

"Give these things to your mother, and then ask Zhuzi to make them for you. They are nutritious."

He Daqing spoke up.

"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle He. I'm leaving now."

……

He family

"Mom, take the things and let Brother Zhuzi make them for you when the time comes."

He Lai handed over the bag and said.

"What is that? What kind of meal is Director Lou inviting you to?"

Wu Juan looked at the packages of things inside, including things like fish maw that she had eaten, and knew they must be expensive.

"My son is so promising that Director Lou wants to recruit me as his son-in-law." He Lai said the second half of the sentence to Yu Shui.

"Hmph, I don't believe it." Yu Shui immediately became unhappy when he heard it and ran away angrily.

"You're so naughty, go over and comfort him." Wu Juan scolded with a smile.

He Lai could only follow him back to his house and saw Yu Shui sitting on the sofa sulking.

"What's wrong? Brother Lai was just joking. Can I apologize to you?"

He Lai had no choice but to sit next to Yu Shui and coax her for a while.

"Brother Lai is mine, no one is allowed to take him away." Yu Shui turned around and hugged He Lai, saying aggrievedly.

"Okay, okay, yours, yours, silly child." He Lai also hugged Yu Shui and comforted her.

Yu Shui saw that there were more and more women around He Lai. Now that Yu Shui had grown up, she began to panic, fearing that He Lai would not want her in the future.
