Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

Xu Damao frowned after hearing this: "Are you saying that there is something wrong between Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu? That's unlikely, they are neighbors."

"But I really think they have a special relationship." Qin Jingru insisted.

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll help you find out. But don't be too anxious, after all, this is just your guess."

"Qin Jingru, you have to be careful." Xu Damao walked by and deliberately lowered his voice, "Shazhu is not a good person."

Qin Jingru raised her head and looked at Xu Damao in confusion: "You...what did you say?"

Xu Damao came closer and said mysteriously: "You don't know? Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu, they...they have a special relationship."

Qin Jingru's face froze, and her heart skipped a beat: "You... don't talk nonsense."

Seeing that Qin Jingru had taken the bait, Xu Damao continued to exaggerate: "Why would I lie to you? Qin Huairu often cleans the room for Shazhu, does laundry and cooks for him. How can that be the work of a sister-in-law?"

Qin Jingru frowned, and the scene of Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu getting along emerged in her mind.

The interaction became extremely glaring in her heart.

"Think about it, if you marry Sha Zhu, how will you face Qin Huairu in the future? Will she regard you as a thorn in her side?" Xu Damao's words pierced Qin Jingru's heart like needles.

Qin Jingru's hands began to tremble, and her handkerchief was wrinkled. She recalled Qin Huairu's gentle smile and Sha Zhu's simple and honest appearance, and her heart was in a mess.

"No, I can't just marry Sha Zhu like this." Qin Jingru stood up and decided to go find Qin Huairu to find out.

However, when she arrived at Qin Huairu's door, she heard laughter coming from inside. She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not have the courage to knock on the door.

At this moment, Xu Damao appeared again: "Qin Jingru, don't be silly. The whole courtyard knows about Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu. If you go in and ask now, it will only make you feel worse."

Qin Jingru's tears welled up in her eyes. She felt helpless and confused as never before. 593 Seeing this, Xu Damao took the opportunity to propose a "rescue" plan: "How about I take you to Wangfujing for a stroll? It would be good to relax."

Qin Jingru hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. She thought that maybe if she left this courtyard and all these disputes, she could find some peace.

Xu Damao took Qin Jingru to Wangfujing, where they went shopping, had snacks, and watched a movie. Qin Jingru finally showed a long-lost smile on her face.

However, when Qin Jingru was immersed in joy, Xu Damao's heart was full of calculations. He looked at Qin Jingru's innocent smile and thought to himself: "This silly girl is so easy to be hooked."

Late at night, Xu Damao sent Qin Jingru back to the courtyard. At the moment of separation, he held Qin Jingru's hand and said, "Jingru, if you have any problems in the future, remember to look for me."

Qin Jingru blushed and nodded gently. What she didn't know was that Xu Damao's eyes were gleaming with greed, and he had already figured out his next plan in his mind.

"Jingru, you are getting more and more beautiful." Xu Damao praised, with a barely perceptible cunningness on the corners of his mouth.

Qin Jingru lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed: "Brother Damao, you are too kind."

"Come, take my bike and I'll take you home." Xu Damao extended his hand enthusiastically and wanted to help Qin Jingru get on the bike.

Qin Jingru hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qin Huairu's house behind her, and finally nodded and got on Xu Damao's bicycle.

In the guesthouse, Yang Ming sat by the window, flipping through a document. Suddenly, a familiar figure came into his sight - it was Yu Li.

"Yu Li?" Yang Ming stood up in surprise and walked forward.

Yu Li looked up and saw that it was Yang Ming. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Yang Ming, it's really you!"

The two smiled at each other, as if they had returned to the past. Yu Haitang watched them from the side, secretly cheering for her sister.

"Brother Yang Ming, do you know? My sister has been thinking about you all these years." Yu Haitang suddenly interrupted. Yang Ming was stunned for a moment and looked at Yu Li. Yu Li's cheeks flushed again and she lowered her head.

"Yu Li, you..." Yang Ming hesitated to speak.

"Brother Yang Ming, don't hesitate. My sister really likes you." Yu Haitang continued to assist.

Although Yu Li was shy, she felt a sense of relief in her heart. She knew that she could no longer escape.

"Yu Li, how have you been these years?" Yang Ming asked with concern.

"It's okay, I just think about the past sometimes." Yu Li replied softly.

Yang Ming walked up to Yu Li and gently held her hand: "Let the past be the past. I will be by your side in the future."

Yu Li raised her head and looked into Yang Ming's gentle eyes, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

With Yang Ming's comfort, Yu Li finally mustered up the courage: "Brother Yang Ming, I...I like you."

Yang Ming was stunned, but quickly came to his senses: "Yu Li, I like you too. I have been looking for you all these years."

The two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to put all their thoughts into this hug.

Seeing that her sister finally succeeded in her confession, Yu Haitang felt extremely relieved. She quietly stood up and prepared to leave the room.

"Haitang, thank you." Yu Li looked at her sister gratefully.

"Sister, you guys have a good chat. I'm going to go out for some fresh air." Yu Haitang smiled, waved her hand, and walked out of the room.

"Yu Li, I..." Yang Ming's voice trembled a little. He looked up at Yu Li who was standing in front of the window. Her back looked so lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Yu Li turned around, with a hint of confusion in her eyes: "Yang Ming, what's wrong with you? Just say whatever you want to say."

Yang Ming took a deep breath, stood up, walked to Yu Li, and bowed deeply: "Yu Li, I apologize to you. I know that my previous behavior may have made you misunderstand. I...I may have been too impatient."

Yu Li was slightly startled, then smiled faintly: "Yang Ming, you don't need to apologize to me. I know you have your reasons."

Yang Ming shook his head: "No, I need to apologize. I... I already have a family, and my status and position do not allow me to divorce or remarry easily. I... I may not be able to give you what you want."

Yu Li's face froze, but she quickly regained her composure: "Yang Ming, I understand what you mean. I have never asked for anything, I just hope you can be happy."

Yang Ming was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Yu Li, I will give you two choices. One is that you follow me, but I can't give you a name, I can only give you five years.

After five years, you can choose to stay with me or leave. Alternatively, you can stay with me, but we can never be legally married. Whichever you choose, I will do my best to give you the best life. "
