Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Chapter 24 24, collapse will collapse, who is afraid of whom?

Xu Damao felt a little embarrassed sitting on Lou's luxurious sofa.

Lou Bancheng was probably not at home, so it was Lou Tan who came to talk to him in private today.

Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e acted as lubricant in the middle, poured tea for Xu Damao, and pulled Lou Tan to talk about what he had seen along the way.

Such Lou Xiao'e makes Xu Damao feel a little distressed. What can he see along the way?

Coming and going, the car drove a little slower, and Lou Xiao'e didn't even dare to open the car curtain. She was afraid that others would notice that she was different.

But today, for the sake of Xu Damao, she still worked hard to make up how many interesting things she saw along the way, how happy she was to go out this time, and so on.

Beauty's kindness is the hardest to bear, and this is the same for Xu Damao.

Xu Damao originally thought that if his mother said something bad about him intentionally or unintentionally, if he treated her coldly for a while, the Lou family would definitely choose a better son-in-law for their daughter.

There was no clear matter in the first place, and the Xu family did not dare to find another one for Xu Damao, because the Lou family was the superior and the Xu family was the inferior. This kind of thing naturally depends on the Lou family's wishes.

And if the Lou family wants to break the engagement, let alone Xu Damao. Even if Xu Damao still wanted to climb a high branch, he didn't dare to say anything to the outside world.

Here, Xu Damao thought most about himself and the trouble the Lou family would cause in the future.

But he never thought about Lou Xiao'e's thoughts.

Now seeing Lou Xiao'e trying to please the Lou Tan family for his own sake or for the sake of her original self, Xu Damao didn't know what was going on, but it was not a pleasant feeling.

Maybe, this thing of love really existed in the original body and Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Tan smiled and said: "Xiao'e, why don't you go to the kitchen and see how the soup mom made is going? I'll talk to Damao."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she couldn't help but paused, but she still said "oh" and moved towards the kitchen step by step. Around the corner, he still winked at Xu Damao.

I guess the main thing is to let Xu Damao endure. As for what to endure, it is naturally to endure his mother.

It's not that Lou Xiao'e is unintelligent. If she didn't have that brain, she wouldn't have reached that status in Hong Kong later.

Orphaned and widowed, and unfamiliar with the place. If we didn't have some means to protect the Lou family's property, it would have been eaten away by others long ago.

Lou Tan's expression didn't change much after Lou Xiao'e entered. But Xu Damao felt that the temperature in the room had dropped by more than one degree.

After chatting for a while, Lou Tan suddenly asked: "Da Mao, your mother said that you have a bad relationship with the neighbors in the yard."

Xu Damao finally arrived and said with a smile: "Well, these old guys are relying on their old age to show off their old age. They have caused a lot of trouble in the past few days."

There was nothing new in Lou Tan's words, but he still advised Xu Damao to be kind to others, so Xu Damao nodded to deal with it without any intention.

Lou Tan suddenly said: "Recently, Xiao'e and her eldest brother asked Xiao'e to go to school on Hong Kong Island. What do you think of Damao?"

Xu Damao thumped, thinking, here it comes.

Xu Damao looked at Lou Tan for a while, and the old lady was also staring at Xu Damao closely.

Suddenly, Xu Damao laughed.

Xu Damao stood up and said with a smile: "It's good for sister Xiao'e to go to Hong Kong Island. Mrs. Lou, I have something to do over there, so I'll go back first."

After that, without waiting for Lou Tan to say anything, he got up and left. Lou Tan's words were naturally a test. Based on her impression of Xu Damao, Xu Damao should have said how much he loved Lou Xiao'e and begged Lou Tan to give him a chance.

Who would have expected that Xu Damao would be uncharacteristic of himself today, turning around and leaving without begging at all, just accepting that Lou Xiao'e was leaving him without any nostalgia.

This made Lou Tan smile bitterly. How could she explain this to Lou Bancheng? How to explain to Lou Xiao'e?
  It was indeed Lou Bancheng who told Lou Tan to invite Xu Damao to the Lou family for dinner today. The situation faced by families like the Lou family is very bad recently. There are too many places outside where there is no food, and some businessmen are still drinking and talking and saying things that are not in line with the general trend.

There are even some businessmen who have food secretly hidden in their hands and say they have to wait a little longer.

In the past two days, several large merchants in Pigeon Market were directly destroyed, and those caught ate peanuts directly.

Although Lou Bancheng had no involvement in these matters. But the Lou family's wealth is the original sin. If they don't save themselves now, then the Lou family might be next.

Whatever happens head-on is not necessarily the right thing to do.

But waiting without changing is a death.

Lou Bancheng naturally has other means of self-rescue. Among them, in order to show his determination to share the joys and sorrows, he chose a family with a good family background for his daughter to marry.

It is a statement that means more than reality.

Besides, Lou Bancheng felt that he had been holding the Xu family back for several years and it was time to make up his mind.

That's why Lou Bancheng asked Lou Tan to call Xu Damao back to explain a few words. What to explain? Naturally, let the Xu family propose in a high-profile manner so that everyone can know about it!
  Of course, being high-profile doesn’t mean spending more money. For example, if you invite a leader to propose marriage or something, it would be very high-profile. The employer family proposes to the capitalist, and the leader acts as a matchmaker in the middle. This attitude shows how good it is.

Then the Lou family will take advantage of the happy event, and the two families will simply hold a wedding and donate something.

That would be a proper show, at least the higher-ups would be optimistic about the Lou family's attitude.

This was all Lou Bancheng's plan, and this was also the reason why Lou Tan allowed Lou Xiao'e to pick up Xu Damao.

But now all this has messed up the Lou Tan family.

She didn't know what Lou Bancheng would do to her, but she knew what Lou Bancheng would do to her daughter.

If the Xu family fails, Lou Bancheng will naturally choose another family, and the conditions may be even worse than those of the Xu family.

In that case, Lou Tan would have tricked his daughter with his own hands.

Compared to other families who don't know much about them, the Lou Tan family looks down on Xu Damao and the Xu family. But objectively speaking, Xu Damao is already in good condition.

Thinking of this, Lou Tan panicked. She stood up and hurriedly chased out the door. Where was Xu Damao's figure?

At this time, Lou Xiao'e's charming words came from the kitchen, "Mom, Brother Damao, the soup I made is so fragrant. Do you want to try it first?"

Accompanying the words, Lou Xiao'e came out with a soup bowl.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help being stunned when she saw the situation in the living room. She saw Lou Tan's panic and had already figured out in her mind that her mother took advantage of her absence and said some unpleasant words, which directly made Xu Damao angry.

There was a "crack" sound, which was the sound of the soup bowl falling to the ground. Lou Xiao'e looked at Lou Tan blankly and asked with a cry: "Mom, where is Brother Damao?"

Lou Tan opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know how to say such a thing. Is it possible to tell my girl that she just gave it a try and Xu Damao gave up so easily?
  Even Lou Xiaoe wouldn’t believe it!
