Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

After hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Lou Xiao'e was stunned, seeming to recall the scene at that time.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e sighed deeply: "I was too stupid back then, I shouldn't have...forget it, it's all over, so don't mention it."

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath: "So, your grandma actually knows about the affair between me and Silly Zhu?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Aunt Lou, I once had a conversation with Uncle He Yuzhu. I said, in fact, we all see the affairs of your principal families, and many people know what happened between you.

, it’s just that no one is willing to get involved.

For example, you were forcibly divorced by Xu Damao, the second uncle led people to ransack your home, and afterwards you had a high-profile romance with Uncle He, walking around the courtyard hand in hand. Who doesn't know those things?

My parents knew about this at the beginning, and the people around me also knew about it, but it just had nothing to do with them and they didn't want to say more.

After all, you know that the courtyard is just a large courtyard. We live so close to each other and everyone can hear us shouting, so there is no secret at all."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, and then suddenly smiled: "But yes, there is really no privacy in that place."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Now you know why I know so many things about you, right?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded again, then suddenly frowned: "No, how did you know about my family heirloom? Did Silly Zhu really tell you?"

"Of course not." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "Heirloom, that's what I guessed."

"You guessed it?" Lou Xiao'e was stunned, "How did you guess it?"

Cao Zhiqiang said: "It's a long story. In fact, one time I went to play in the backyard cellar and accidentally found a beautiful small box with a white jade bracelet inside.

Then I took it to show to my grandma. When she saw it, she said, this is real mutton-fat white jade. It is truly priceless. It must be the heirloom that Lou Xiaoe gave to Shazhu. Otherwise, no one in the courtyard can have it.

This kind of thing.

Then, my grandma asked me to send me back where I was, pretending that I didn't know anything.

Grandma also told me that no matter how good other people's things are, you can't ask for them. You can be poor, but you can't be spineless. The Cao family can't do things like stealing and abduction!

Although I sent it back, I still visit it occasionally, so I learned about this family heirloom."

"Really?" Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up, "Then can you get it for me?"

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "Aunt Lou, I think it's best for you to ask Uncle He for this thing. If I take it, it will be stolen."

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then looked at Cao Zhiqiang again.

After looking at Cao Zhiqiang again, Lou Xiao'e suddenly smiled and said: "That is a priceless thing, are you really not tempted?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Aunt Lou, I said, a gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way.

I'm different from those sneaky people like Bangge. You are a mountain of gold and silver in front of me. As long as it belongs to someone else, as long as it is not explicitly given to me, I will never take it.

It’s not that I don’t love money, it’s just that I can make money by myself based on my ability.

But the money obtained through swindling and kidnapping will not be at ease for the rest of your life, and you will be a thief until you die!

Although I knew that I was very poor at the time and that the jade bracelet was valuable, I also knew that it was not mine and it was not given to me by you, so I would not take it randomly.

Also, my uncle He is the same person.

No matter how poor and miserable he was, he never thought of selling that priceless jade bracelet for money and improving his life.

Even, as far as I know, Uncle He didn't tell anyone about the jade bracelet, including Uncle He's current wife, Aunt Qin.

By the way, there’s something else that might interest you.”

"What's going on?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed first, and then said: "Once, Uncle He came to ask me for help for something awesome, and then he chatted with me alone in the hospital ward.

We talked a lot that night, and he once told me that there is only one woman he loves most in his life, and that is you, Lou Xiao'e!"

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e instantly broke through her guard and subconsciously grasped the armrest of the sofa, her tone also a little excited: "He, he really said that?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang sighed again: "He didn't drink that day, let alone get drunk. He was just chatting with me about life, and suddenly something came to his mind, and that's why he said that sentence.

I could tell that he was sincere at that time and he accidentally let it slip.

He also told me afterwards that I must keep it a secret for him and not tell it, otherwise he would not be able to spare me.

By the way, there’s also this.”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang took out the sketch of Lou Xiao'e he drew: "Look, this is the evidence."

"This, this..." Lou Xiao'e took the sketch with many creases in confusion, "This is me? Who drew it? It can't be Silly Zhu, right?"

"Of course it's not him." Cao Zhiqiang laughed, "I drew this. To be precise, I drew it based on a photo.

That photo was cropped in half. It seemed like it was a photo of you and Xu Damao. He somehow stole it and then cut out Xu Damao, leaving only you."

"He, he really did this?" Lou Xiao'e said in surprise.

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "What else?"

Then, Cao Zhiqiang added: "That night, Uncle He also told me that he had been secretly hiding the photo and would take it out to look at when he was alone. He also said that he had actually been attracted to you for a long time, but it was just

You were Xu Damao's wife at that time, and he only dared to think about it but not to do it."

"This stupid Zhu!" Lou Xiao'e suddenly laughed to herself, "It's so shameless!"

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e shook her head, and then said to Cao Zhiqiang: "By the way, I forgot to ask you, how did you know I was here? Why did you come here specifically to find me? I obviously came here secretly alone, and no one else

Isn’t it right that you don’t know?”

Cao Zhiqiang looked at her expression, then smiled: "This is an accident."

"Accident?"

"Yes, it was an accident."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "Actually, that night, Uncle He showed me your photo and confided to me that the person he loves most is you.

Maybe he was excited or guilty, so after showing me the photo, he suddenly took a match and lit it himself, saying that he couldn't go on like this or else he would be sorry for Aunt Qin.

But even so, I still wrote down the appearance in the photo, and then drew the sketch.

My original intention was to give it to Uncle He another day so that he could think about it.

But who knows, when I finished painting this painting, my friend, the guy in the suit over there, named Shen Zhenhua, happened to come to see me and also saw this painting.

He didn't know the reason at first, he thought it was a girl from a certain family that I was attracted to, and asked me who I was, I was so beautiful, and if I wanted him to help me be a matchmaker."

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e immediately covered her mouth and laughed: "Your friend is really interesting, do you really say that?"

"That's not true." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "I have to say that you were so beautiful when you were young. Even now, you are almost the same as when you were young.

It is precisely because of this that I know you are here."

"What does this mean?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Actually, he has been hanging out in several foreign-related hotels these days, helping me find foreigners and overseas Chinese who don't look like they are traveling, but coming to Beijing to do business.

My purpose in asking him to do this was to proactively contact foreigners and then do business with these people.

Who would have thought that a reliable foreigner and an overseas Chinese would not meet each other accidentally, but he would be allowed to meet you.

He once saw your portrait and saw that you looked exactly like the portrait, so he called me immediately.

Originally, he wanted to make fun of me, laughing at me for falling in love with an older rich woman. Who knew that as soon as I heard this, I immediately knew what was going on, so I ran over to you immediately.

Then, at first I thought it was a mistake and I was just thinking about it just in case.

Unexpectedly, I actually found you. You are really the Aunt Lou that Uncle He has always been thinking about.

So you see, this is destiny destined by God!"
