Chapter 526 Since ancient times, friendship has been difficult to reconcile

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e got into a taxi and returned to the hotel where Lou Xiao'e went downstairs. He Yuzhu wanted to say goodbye directly at the gate, but Lou Xiao'e glared at her: "Why, you don't want to be with me so much? You can't stay any longer."

?I am so annoying to you?"

"No, no." He Yuzhu put his hands in his pockets and laughed, "What about that? I still have to go to work. I'm in a hurry to get back to work."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu: "Okay, then you can go, just like anyone begging you."

After saying that, Lou Xiao'e was about to go back.

He Yuzhu blinked and suddenly said: "Hey, wait a minute!"

"What are you doing?" Lou Xiao'e stopped and turned around, "Aren't you going to leave? Let's go quickly!"

He Yuzhu smiled, walked over and said, "That's right, I suddenly remembered something. If you can agree, then maybe our restaurant can be opened."

"What's the matter?" Lou Xiao'e asked with a frown, "Tell me."

He Yuzhu said: "That's right, we can let Qin Huairu resign! As long as we let Qin Huairu resign and become the manager of the restaurant, wouldn't the matter be over? She won't object, and I won't feel unsure. You

Say yes?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu carefully, then turned away without saying a word.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e turn around and leave, He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed: "Don't go, please listen to me and talk to you.

In fact, Qin Huairu is a very suitable person to be the restaurant manager. She is very capable and can endure hardships. She is never vague about her life and settling accounts. You should know this!"

Lou Xiao'e walked away with a straight face and said: "But she doesn't understand management! Managers have to manage people, but if they don't understand management, how can they succeed?"

He Yuzhu licked his face and smiled as he walked: "If you don't understand, you can learn. Who knows it from birth, don't you think so?"

Lou Xiao'e frowned and said: "This is a completely different concept, okay, and she is already so old. It is too late for her to learn management now."

"How could it be too late?" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "You have to live and learn. Qin Huairu has a bright brain and learns things very quickly."

"Those are two different things." Lou Xiao'e said, "Besides, I can't wait for her to finish studying management before opening a restaurant, right? If I invest in opening a restaurant, do I have to wait for her alone?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "That's true, but isn't it still you? With you at the helm, she can learn and do it at the same time, so she can't make a mistake."

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but shake her head and didn't even bother to say anything.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e didn't speak, He Yuzhu followed him and said: "Xiao'e, here's the thing, I know it's a bit abrupt to let Qin Huairu be the manager, but sometimes, you want to do something, that's it.

You have to make some compromises and sacrifices first, and then..."

"No more!" Lou Xiao'e suddenly stopped and turned around, saying expressionlessly.

Just when He Yuzhu was stunned, Lou Xiao'e looked at him coldly and said:

"Silly Zhu, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? You pretend to be confused with me because you understand, right? Opening a restaurant, is that my wish?

Yes, I want to invest in the Mainland. There are so many investment projects, so why do I have to open a restaurant?

Is opening a restaurant what I want to do? Don’t you understand why I invested in opening a restaurant for you?"

Speaking of this, seeing He Yuzhu lowering his head and not daring to meet his eyes, Lou Xiao'e shook her head angrily, couldn't say the second half of the sentence, turned around and left.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e leaving, He Yuzhu quickly and subconsciously followed her, but he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he could only keep his head down and follow.

"Why are you following me?" Lou Xiao'e said angrily, "Aren't you going back to work? Leave quickly!"

He Yuzhu chuckled and said as he walked: "It's okay, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."

Lou Xiao'e glared at He Yuzhu, then turned her head, put her hands in her pockets, slowed down, and said as she walked: "Silly Zhu, tell me, how many times have I hinted to you in the past few days since I've been here? You can either give it to me.

Change the topic, or just pretend to be stupid, do you really think I can't see it?"

He Yuzhu chuckled, scratched his head and said nothing.

Lou Xiao'e came to the elevator entrance, stopped and looked at He Yuzhu. After pressing the elevator button, she folded her arms again and said to him: "Silly Zhu, to be honest, the main purpose of bringing my son here this time is to take a look.

You, by the way, let your son get to know you.

Of course, I also admit that I do want to reunite with you.

But I'm not that kind of unreasonable person.

If you don't love me anymore and don't have me in your heart, I won't stalk you, let alone instigate a relationship between you and Qin Huairu.

But in the past few days of contact, I can see that you have always had me in your heart and you have always loved me.

Especially, you love your son, your biological son even more!

Do you dare to say that you don’t have me in your heart and that you don’t have a son in your heart?”

He Yuzhu lowered his head and remained silent, with a serious look on his face.

Seeing his expression, Lou Xiao'e said again: "You have me and a son in your heart, which is the basis and prerequisite for me to be with you.

It is precisely because I have seen your heart and your true thoughts that I want to be with you again.

I want to invest in opening a restaurant for you because I know you have a good reputation and I want to take this as an opportunity to get back together with you.

Of course, I also admit that I always have you in my heart, I, I..."

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e seemed to have reached an emotional point, with tears already appearing in the corners of her eyes.

Soon, Lou Xiao'e turned her head, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with her hands, took another deep breath, then turned her head again, and said to the silent He Yuzhu:

"He Yuzhu, now that the matter has come to an end, I will open the skylight and speak openly and tell you the truth of the matter.

Yes, I left back then, left here, and went to Hong Kong with my family.

But I am gone, but my heart remains.

I can never truly forget you for a moment.

Originally, I didn't want to get married again, so I just wanted to live with my son.

But I miss you so much, especially after I gave birth to He Xiao. I can always dream about you when I dream. I dream about us listening to the Symphony of Destiny together. I can also dream about bits and pieces of the past, and even dream about you.

We were in Hong Kong together, enjoying ourselves happily with He Xiao's family of three.

In order to no longer miss you, I decided to accept someone else's proposal, because I thought that as long as I married someone else and started a new life, I could truly forget you.

But later I discovered that I was wrong. Even if I married someone else and even had children, I still didn't love him. I still only have you in my heart.

It's just that I never dare to tell anyone about these thoughts, I can only think about them secretly.

Since the reopening, I have actually come back early in the morning, and almost once or twice every year.

In other words, I have been to Beijing many times, including before I got divorced.

Every time I came here before, it was under the banner of an inspection project, but only I knew that it was just an excuse.

I'm here just because you're here and I want to know your news.

So, actually, I know a lot about you, not nothing.

I know it's unfair to my ex-husband if I do this, but I can't control myself, I can't control that I miss you!"

At this point, Lou Xiao'e turned her head, wiped the tears from her eyes again, and then continued: "So, when I knew that my ex-husband had a mistress and there was someone outside, I actually felt relieved.

Because in this way, I no longer owe him anything, I no longer have to feel guilty, and I can use this to divorce him openly.

Then do you know what he said to me when I proposed a peaceful breakup to him?"

"What did you say?" He Yuzhu asked subconsciously.

Lou Xiao'e said with red eyes: "He told me that the reason why he has people outside is because he never got love here, and he also knew that he was never in my heart, there was always someone else, and he also heard me say

I talked in my sleep several times, and heard me calling Si Zhu’s name several times.

He thinks that I married him just to live together, not for love.

He just held back and didn't say anything before, thinking that he would slowly get better in the future and allow me to fall in love with him again and accept him. But later he found that I had never been able to love him, and he really couldn't stand it, so he settled with other women.

He also said that he knew that I didn't love him, and he also knew that in terms of my duty as a wife, I actually didn't feel sorry for him, but he still couldn't accept that I didn't have him in my heart.

Of course, what he said does not mean that what he did was right.

Because no matter what, there was someone outside him who was at fault, and the words he said to me might just be venting, and just an excuse for him to defend himself.

But no matter what, I think what he said is partly right.

It’s true that I don’t have him in my heart, it’s true that I just lived with him, and it’s true that I’ve never loved him.

Because my heart has long been filled with you and can no longer accommodate anyone else."

After sighing, Lou Xiao'e said again: "After my divorce, I came to the capital again and asked for information about you again. I also went to the door of the courtyard again, but in the end I still couldn't muster the courage to go in and see you.

I have known for a long time that you are married to Qin Huairu, and I also know that you and her have never had children.

I also know that you married her very late, not just after I left, but many years after I left.

After I heard the news, the first thing I knew was that you have always loved me and you have always had me in your heart. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for you to marry her after so many years and not have children.

Therefore, I mustered up the courage to return to Hong Kong, brought my son, and came to find you. I want to get back together with you and make this family and our love whole again.

Although you tried to evade and pretend to be stupid before, I know that you just haven't made up your mind.

Therefore, until the moment I sent He Xiao away, I was holding on to hope that I could get back together with you.

But what you said just now, about letting Qin Huairu be the manager, completely woke me up and dashed all my hopes.

I finally understand that I am no longer in your heart, at least not all of it.

You have Qin Huairu in your heart more, and you care more about her now.

I don't comment on whether it is right for you to do this. After all, she has been by your side for so many years and asked you to choose. It is indeed a bit difficult.

But I am not a saint, I also have feelings and I also have anger!

So, I'm sorry, I suddenly changed my mind. I will go back to Hong Kong immediately and will never pester you again.

Of course, if you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. My door here is always open to you.

You have my phone number in Hong Kong. When you think about it, call me and I’ll come back!

But remember, if I come again, it won't be so easy for me to leave.

Unless you never call me, then we will never meet!

I’ve finished speaking, that’s it, goodbye!”

Having said this, Lou Xiao'e wiped away her tears fiercely, then quickly entered the elevator. Without looking at He Yuzhu, she directly pressed the elevator button and closed the elevator door.

After the elevator door closed and Lou Xiao'e could no longer be seen, He Yuzhu let out a long breath and looked up at the ceiling, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The words he just said had a huge impact on him. He never expected that things would turn out like this.

If Lou Xiao'e hadn't said those words and said that she always had him, He Yuzhu wouldn't be as entangled and uncomfortable as he is now.

But when Lou Xiao'e said those words, especially the root cause of her divorce, he realized that it was difficult for him to really not care about Lou Xiao'e.

Indeed, although He Yuzhu had been running away from her, he calmed down and thought carefully that the woman he had truly loved in his life was really Lou Xiao'e.

Although he had been with Qin Huairu for a long time, and although he had not known Qin Huairu in the past, only he knew that at least before Lou Xiao'e left, he had never thought about anything happening with Qin Huairu.

The past with Qin Huairu was unclear. He sympathized with her more and didn't really like her.

Of course, Qin Huairu at that time was indeed beautiful and could be called a flower in the courtyard. Compared with Lou Xiao'e back then, she was not far behind, and she was even better in some places.

But, speaking from the bottom of his heart, the woman he really likes is Lou Xiao'e.

Why did he hate Xu Damao so much in the past? In addition to looking down on him as a person, there was another reason that he couldn't explain. He was jealous because Lou Xiao'e married him.

Many people in the courtyard thought that He Yuzhu used to like Qin Huairu and was interested in her, so he often helped her with meals.

But only he knew that he really didn't think about anything happening with Qin Huairu at that time. What she was thinking about was Lou Xiao'e.

If He Yuzhu was really interested in Qin Huairu at that time, then based on his support for Qin Huairu, he would have become friends with Qin Huairu long ago.

Why didn't He Yuzhu secretly get along with Qin Huairu at that time? He even pretended that Qin Huairu had hinted her secretly several times, and he didn't know about it?

Others thought it was him, He Yuzhu, who was upright and decent, but in fact he was not.

The fundamental reason is that He Yuzhu had someone in his heart at that time and had been pretending to be Lou Xiao'e.

Later, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao separated. He was actually very happy, but he couldn't express it.

Then, although the days he spent with Lou Xiao'e were short-lived, they were the happiest and most unforgettable days in his life.

It can be said that from the beginning to the end, He Yuzhu has always had Lou Xiao'e in his heart, but he has always buried it deep in his heart and never dared to tell others.

Love and justice are difficult to have both.

Lou Xiao'e is love, Qin Huairu is righteousness.

If he were ten years younger, He Yuzhu might have immediately decided to let his heart wander and left with Lou Xiao'e.

But he is no longer a young man. At his current age, he can no longer be as generous as he used to be.

Because now he is not only alone, nor is it just Qin Huairu, he also has to take care of the elderly in the entire compound.

Once he is gone, what will the old people in the yard do?

Moreover, he has lived here for such a long time. Now if he is asked to change his environment and go to live in Hong Kong, it may be difficult for him to get used to it.

The most important thing is that Lou Xiao'e now has an elegant temperament. He feels that he is no longer worthy of her and feels a little ashamed to be with her.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu looked up to the sky and sighed: "As the old saying goes, since ancient times, friendship and friendship have been difficult to reconcile. Why did you let me catch up? Hey, this thing is so troublesome, alas!"

After sighing, He Yuzhu put his hands on his back and left silently with deep thoughts, not knowing where to go or who to talk to.

He just felt that his heart was extremely blocked and uncomfortable.

Maybe this is life.

It's never possible to have everything you want.
