Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Chapter 227: Lingering with Xiao Bai Xiangdao

He Yuzhu remained silent and did not express any opinion.

Guo Yingzhong glanced at him and asked, "Are you very close to this Bang Geng? Do we need to communicate with that organization about how to handle the funeral?"

"unnecessary."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said that it would be good enough to help. As for revenge, forget it. After all, the relationship was not that good.

"Mr. He, the person is now in the morgue."

Zhang Hui asked quietly, "Do you want to go and take a look? Also, how do you plan your funeral? Do you want to choose a nice cemetery?"

"I'm not going."

He Yuzhu thought about it, nodded hesitantly and said, "Let's follow your suggestion."

after a few days,

Zhou Xiaobai came to Xiangdao and found the residence here according to the given address.

He Yuzhu was surprised that besides her, Lin Qingqing was also there.

When she saw the two of them, Lin Qingqing looked angry, with a tense face, pouting lips, and glaring eyes.

He Yuzhu knew why Lin Qingqing was so angry.

The night before he left the United States,

Although he didn't do anything out of concern for Zhou Xiaobai, Zhou Xiaobai kept teasing him.

Under this temptation,

He Yuzhu finally chose to surrender.

The consequence was that the next morning, Lin Qingqing glared at him fiercely for the whole day.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingqing not only followed me back here, but is still angry now.

It’s just that I didn’t sleep well for two nights, is it necessary to make such a fuss?

Zhou Xiaobai hugged his arm tightly, looked at Lin Qingqing's face, and said with a smile: "Qingqing, thank you for coming with me, let's have dinner together later?"

"No need. Now that I've brought you here, I should go back."

When facing Zhou Xiaobai, Lin Qingqing's expression eased slightly.

"When you come back to China next time, remember to tell me in advance and I will send you off..."

Then they chatted for a while. Finally, Lin Qingqing picked up her handbag, got into a taxi and left.

Watching the car disappear.

He Yuzhu was puzzled: "Why did she come back with you?"

"Qingqing didn't go home for the Spring Festival this year,"

Zhou Xiaobai explained, "She heard that I was going to Hong Kong, so she came with me to visit relatives and friends. Since I was not familiar with this place, she came with me."

At this point, Zhou Xiaobai looked around the villa and asked curiously, "Is this your residence?"

"Ah."

He Yuzhu nodded, picked up her luggage and said, "Let's go home first. Are you hungry? I'll cook for you."

"I'm really a little hungry..."

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were full of tenderness, her face flushed slightly, and she hugged his arm tightly.

Went into the room and put down my things.

With a click, the door closed.

He Yuzhu turned around and a faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

He was slightly startled.

My heart is full of tenderness.

After a while.

It was getting dark.

He Yuzhu gently embraced Zhou Xiaobai and asked gently, "Are you hungry?"

Zhou Xiaobai didn't answer, but buried his face in his arms, hugged him and asked softly: "When are you leaving? How long will it take for you to come back?"

He Yuzhu was a little hesitant, knowing that she was reluctant to let him leave, but he had to go back.

He stroked her hair gently, his tone still gentle: "Wait a few days, until you start school and get familiar with Hong Kong Island, I will return to the mainland. In the future, I will try to come to Hong Kong Island once a month or every three months."

Zhou Xiaobai felt a little disappointed.

Although her mind told her that seeing him once every two or three months was good enough, after all, they could still meet and be together, so she should be content.

But she still unconsciously hoped that they could spend more time together.

"I'm hungry."

Thinking that they would be separated again in a few days, Zhou Xiaobai felt very sad and wanted to cherish every minute and second in front of him even more.

"Okay, go take a shower, I'll prepare dinner..." As he said that, He Yuzhu stood up slightly but didn't stand up completely.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were full of sweetness and attachment, like a piece of warm honey cake.

It was late at night, and the two finally started eating at the dinner table.

Zhou Xiaobai lowered his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Do you think Qingqing's attitude is a bit strange?"

He Yuzhu glanced at her, knowing that she had something to say, and then he added, "It's a bit strange indeed. Is it because of the dormitory incident?"

"No." Zhou Xiaobai's already rosy face turned even redder, and she said in a low voice, "I have been studying in the United States for the past few months, thanks to Qingqing's help; we have a very good relationship. After you left, she asked me when we would get married, and I said I hadn't thought about it."

"Then she asked me why I didn't want to get married. I didn't want to talk about it, so I didn't say anything more. So she started to make wild guesses."

"I was a little nervous at the time, and maybe she saw something. She mistakenly thought you were a playboy, thinking that you were seducing me even though you already had a family, so she treated her badly. I explained that it was actually me who took the initiative, but she didn't believe it."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know she was so perceptive."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was no big deal, so he comforted her and said, "It's okay, don't think too much. It's impossible to keep this kind of thing a secret from others forever."

"Ah."

Zhou Xiaobai looked up and glanced at him, with a sweet smile on his face.

But I was in a dilemma.

The two of them are finally together, their wish has come true, they are very happy and very blessed.

But there are many challenges that come with it.

What if Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye knew about this?

What would happen if the parents found out about this?

Once this kind of thing is exposed, there is no way to end it.

After repeated thinking, Zhou Xiaobai clearly realized that he must keep his relationship with He Yuzhu secret.

Except Lin Qingqing, no one else can know about this.

After dinner, the two of them simply washed up and went to rest.

Zhou Xiaobai hugged He Yuzhu with great joy.

I remembered the many women’s clothes I found in the closet when I was taking a shower.

Zhou Xiaobai suddenly felt uncomfortable.

This is He Yuzhu's residence in Hong Kong Island.

There were other women's clothes, which meant that there had been and still was a woman living here.

That is to say, in addition to Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye, He Yuzhu has other female friends.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaobai felt aggrieved.

We finally got together, and I didn't want to think about these things anymore.

But the more I thought about it, the sadder I felt. I couldn't help but ask:

"Whose clothes are in the closet?"

"Lou Xiao'e's."

He Yuzhu did not hide anything and said directly:

"I found her earlier when I came to Hong Kong on a business trip.

At that time she couldn't go back to the mainland, so I had to come here.

Every year, I lead a team to participate in the cooking competition between the mainland and Hong Kong.

Just to see her and her daughter Sisi."

Did Lou Xiao'e also sleep in this room?

Did they also share this bed?

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaobai's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.

Lou Xiao'e hasn't been back to the mainland for a long time because she missed her lover and was too embarrassed to see him.

And at this moment, she actually secretly snatched someone else's man away.

They also lived in each other's home in Hong Kong and even slept in the same bed.

Zhou Xiaobai was filled with panic and shame.

Yet, a sense of pride inexplicably emerged.

His eyes seemed to be about to reveal tears,

She hugged He Yuzhu tightly and said in a gentle voice:

"Sister E gave you a daughter, can I also give birth to one for you..."

He Yuzhu hugged her instinctively.

Suddenly I felt that Hong Kong Island was a bit stuffy.

Early in the morning.

Aunt Wu has already prepared breakfast.

Mother Lou behaved well, eating breakfast while reading the newspaper.

My daughter has now gone to the mainland, leaving behind a lot of company affairs.

Mother Lou helps manage it all, so she lives a fulfilling life.

There is endless work to do every day.

The only unhappy thing is that I miss my granddaughter very much.

The daughter who was once so caring now feels a little distant from her.

Although Sisi has a cold personality, she is actually a very warm and good child.

I haven't been back for such a long time and haven't written a letter.

Mother Lou missed her very much every day, and at the same time she blamed her daughter for taking her beloved granddaughter away.

"lady……"

Wu Ma, who was sitting on the side eating breakfast, hesitated for a moment and said:

"Yesterday when I went to Mozi's house to clean, I ran into Zhuzi. He said he was here on a business trip and asked if I wanted to invite him to my house for dinner?"

Mother Lou's expression froze, and after a while she sighed and said:

"Forget it. He's still mad at me for what happened back then."

"How can I still be angry with you?"

Wu Ma consoled him, "So many years have passed, and since Mo Zi and him were reunited, they have been living a good life."

"His feelings for the moth remain the same, so how can he blame you?"

“But a moth is a moth.”

Mother Lou sighed softly: "Ezi is his wife, and she has a daughter with him. Even if she is unhappy about something, she can only vent it to me."

"It was indeed me who took the moth away back then. After so many years of separation, it is understandable that he feels unhappy. Let him be angry."

"If you're still angry, let's not meet to avoid awkwardness."

Wu Ma also sighed and said:

"I think you're overthinking it. Zhuzi is not a petty person. Even if he was angry before, some of the old hatred will fade after so much time has passed."

"In this situation, one party has to take the initiative. We can't just keep avoiding each other like this."

Mother Lou hesitated, thought for a moment, then shook her head and said:

"Don't mention this anymore. Since Moth is his wife, he should at least call me mother, right? If he wasn't mad at me, why didn't he come to see me when he came on a business trip?"

"If he doesn't come, it means he still has some unresolved issues in his heart."

"In this case, what can I do? Do you want me to beg for forgiveness?"

"I don't regret my original choice. Whether he is willing to contact us or not, it cannot change the fact that Sisi is my biological grandson."

Mother Lou continued to read the newspaper with an expressionless face, obviously not wanting to continue discussing the issue.

Aunt Wu looked at her and could only sigh helplessly and said nothing more.

The table fell silent.

Then, Mother Lou put down the newspaper in her hand, and her tone became much gentler. She said, "Mother Wu, I heard that things are not abundant in the inland areas. No matter how much money you have, you may not be able to buy good things. When you are free, go buy some of Sisi's favorite food and toys and ask He Yuzhu to bring them to Sisi, okay?"

"Ok."

Wu Ma smiled and nodded in agreement, then asked: "What should we bring for Mo Zi..."

"Hey!"

Mother Lou snorted unhappily, "I don't have such a daughter. It's enough for someone to love her. I don't bother to care about her!"
