Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 973 You are not allowed to become bad!
"Don't we live here?"

"Well, I'll follow the leader's instructions."

Peng Xiaoli let Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun get in the car, then he closed the door, jumped into the passenger seat, and signaled the driver to drive.

Two Modou brand cars slowly slid out of the gate of the Trade Management Center and drove towards the cross-river bridge.

In the car, Luo Yun looked back curiously at the Trade Management Center building that was still brightly lit behind the car, then he smiled and leaned close to Zhou Xiaobai's ear and asked softly, "Are you going to sell us out?"

"It's possible!"

Zhou Xiaobai thought of Li Xuewu's teasing yesterday and couldn't help but pursed her lips and teased her: "I'll sell you first to the landlord's stupid son as a child bride."

"Sell you first!"

Luo Yun raised his hand and hit Zhou Xiaobai. She reacted a little too loudly and her voice became a little louder, causing Peng Xiaoli, who was sitting in the front, to look at them in the rearview mirror.

Reminded by Zhou Xiaobai's finger to be careful of the impact, Luo Yun hurriedly restrained his voice, but still said softly and stubbornly: "I'll sell you first! Sell you to a rich family as a maid!"

"That's better than a child bride!"

Zhou Xiaobai tapped Luo Yun's forehead with a smile and said, "From now on, I will call you Landlady."

"Timid~"

Luo Yun pouted and said angrily, "I, the landlord's wife, will watch you become the master's concubine!"

"ah!"

Zhou Xiaobai's face turned red with embarrassment. He gently hit Luo Yun and said in a tender voice, "Why do you say anything?"

"You messed with me first~"

……

The two little girls sat in the back seat of the car, talking and laughing at each other, without any signs of sadness or worry.

Peng Xiaoli listened with his ears and looked in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but recall the run under the setting sun that afternoon, and his and my lost youth.

He didn't know where the two cars were going, nor did he know who the two girls in the cars were.

There are many things about Li Xuewu that he cannot understand with his current identity or relationship.

The two cars crossed the Haihe River Bridge one after another, then turned right and drove back to the residential area on the other side of the pier in front of the Trade Management Center.

It was night, but the river was still busy, dotted with stars, as icebreakers were working day and night.

There are also cargo ships loading and unloading according to the channel indicator lights, and passing through the bridge quickly.

The Haihe River in Tianjin has a freezing period, which lasts about three months.

In order to ensure the unobstructed flow of the river and smooth shipping, the Tianjin Waterway Administration is responsible for the dredging and icebreaking tasks of the entire river.

Looking across from the car, the lights of the Trade Management Center building are reflected on the river surface, and the reflected light is so dazzling and charming.

The car in front slowly slowed down and then turned into a street, and the car behind followed.

The road was not very far or deep, but the streets were narrow and the car speed could not be increased.

When they reached the entrance of an alley, two cars stopped one after another, their bright headlights splitting the night sky.

Peng Xiaoli jumped out of the car first. After seeing the gesture made by Li Haiyang, he opened the back door and asked the two girls to get out.

Zhou Xiaobai observed the surrounding environment in a daze. It was quiet and gorgeous.

Luo Yun nervously grabbed her hand, looked at Peng Xiaoli who was carrying two suitcases from the trunk and asked, "Where is this?"

"do not know"

He answered her question concisely, then handed the box in his hand to the two of them and said, "I can only take you here. Please follow your leader's arrangements from now on."

After saying this, he got back into the car without waiting for Luo Yun and the others to react.

It was not until the car doors slammed and the two cars started moving again that they came to their senses.

Watching the car drive away, Li Xuewu's tall figure followed Director Li towards a villa at the side of the alley. The two looked at each other slightly panickedly, each carrying a box and chasing after them.

"Let's go to your house and sit down."

The villa that Li Huaide gave to Li Xuewu was separated from his own by an alley.

Seeing that the lights were on in the villa on the left, Li Huaide insisted on following him to the one on the right.

Coming uninvited is considered an unwelcome visitor, but Li Xuewu came back with him, so how could he refuse him in person?

Besides, a big part of the reason why Lao Li came to Tianjin this time was to see his beautiful confidante.

"I heard that you are pregnant, right?"

Li Huaide looked at Li Xuewu knowingly, nodded to Li Haiyang behind him, and said to him: "I have specially prepared some nutritional supplements."

"Look at you! You're so polite!"

Li Xuewu suddenly smiled, then turned around to look at Li Haiyang, as well as Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun who were a little confused.

"Even if you don't bring anything, I can't stop you from coming to my house~"

"please!"

"Hahaha~"

Li Huaide looked at Li Xuewu's invitation gesture and stepped onto the stairs with a smile.

The yard of the villa is not small, and the path leading to the foyer is paved with stone slabs and pebbles, giving it a natural beauty.

Perhaps because of the voices heard at the gate, the light outside the hallway lit up first, then the door opened, and a woman who was about forty or fifty years old walked out.

"Mr. Li"

"Who is this……?"

Li Huaide was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the woman was calling Li Xuewu, not Mr. Li.

Li Xuewu now casually explained: "Sister Lu, her distant relative, came to take care of her."

After that, he introduced to Ms. Lu: "This is Director Li, my leader."

"Hello, Director Li."

Sister Lu behaved very politely, bowed slightly and stepped aside, inviting everyone into the house.

Li Huaide looked at the other person, nodded slowly, and then stepped into the hall.

"You have to be careful when you are pregnant, especially when you live so far away, you should have someone to take care of you."

"I have so much to do, how can I think of these things?"

Li Xuewu smiled self-deprecatingly, and then explained: "She found it herself, and I arranged for Shaqizhi to deliver it."

"Oh~"

Li Huaide then felt a little relieved and understood why the servant had just called Li Xuewu Mr. Li.

Li Haiyang walked at the end, greeted Sister Lu with a smile, and handed the gift in his hand to her.

Zhou Xiaobai and the other man followed Li Xuewu with confused looks on their faces, like lost children, looking at the big house in front of them with a bit of a loss as to what to do.

As they entered the living room, warm air rushed over them, making the few people who had just taken off their coats in the hallway feel the heat from the fire in the fireplace.

"You've just finished eating at this hour?"

Suddenly, Zhou Miaomiao stood up from the sofa with her back to the door and greeted them, which scared Zhou Xiaobai and the others.

Li Huaide waved his hand and did not answer her question. Instead, he took the initiative to look at a pregnant woman who stood up.

"Shuping, this is Director Li"

Li Xuewu handed the handbag to Sister Lu with a smile, introducing Wu Shuping to her, and then introduced her to Li Huaide: "Director Li, this is my wife Wu Shuping."

"Hello Director Li"

"Oh~oh~good! Hello!"

Li Huaide didn't care about everyone's surprised expressions, and took the initiative to greet Wu Shuping with a smile.

While observing Wu Shuping's performance, he pointed at Li Xuewu and joked, "I've always wondered who this beautiful woman hidden in the golden house of Deputy Director Li is?"

"Ha ha!"

Li Huaide looked at Li Xuewu who was standing behind Wu Shuping and said with a smile: "After seeing you today, I find that you are indeed beautiful and intelligent."

"You're too kind. After I got pregnant, I dared to look in the mirror. But this Ms. Zhou is a beauty!"

Wu Shuping replied with a joke, and with the grace of a hostess, she raised her hand and signaled everyone, "Don't stand anymore, please take a seat."

Her generous and decent hospitality, coupled with a smile on her face, was as warm as the tea that Sister Lu brought her.

But no matter how warm this room is, it can't relieve the coldness in Zhou Xiaobai's heart.

At this moment, she was frozen in place like a zombie, and was only pulled to sit on the sofa by Luo Yun.

Her eyes were fixed on Li Xuewu and his sweetness. She seemed to hear the greetings of the people in the room, but the voices seemed to be far away in the horizon.

"When I came out just now, I was wondering why I couldn't see you. I wanted to let the ocean go find you."

Li Xuewu walked behind Zhou Miaomiao and patted the back of the sofa. As he walked towards the single sofa next to the fireplace, he said, "Haiyang said you came back first."

"I can't stand those social events, they make me feel anxious"

Zhou Miaomiao smiled and explained to Li Xuewu: "After dinner, I asked Brother Haiyang to send me here first."

Li Haiyang was standing next to the tea cabinet at the moment, but he had no intention of sitting on the sofa.

Last time, because of the house incident, Deputy Director Li looked at him as if he were a dead person, and he was so scared that he never dared to bring up the topic of the house again.

Everyone came here again today, and although there was laughter and joy in the room, he only felt a chill on his back.

"Have you eaten yet? You're back so early."

Li Xuewu habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to put it in his mouth when he saw Wu Shuping looking at him with some resentment.

"Haha, I just came back after eating. I was bored at home alone, so I came here to disturb you first."

Zhou Miaomiao found Li Xuewu's embarrassed expression and the action of taking back the cigarette under the gaze of the hostess quite funny.

Li Huaide also noticed the interaction between the two. His eyes moved and he smiled like an old fox.

He also noticed the two girls sitting on the sofa on the other side, pointed at them and asked Li Xuewu, "Are you relatives?"

"kid"

Li Xuewu glanced at the two of them and didn't intend to introduce them in detail. He just said casually: "He said he has never been to Tianjin and wants to go out for a walk."

"Where's Zhou Miaomiao? Has she been to Tianjin?"

He took a sip of hot tea, looked at Zhou Miaomiao again, and asked her about her feelings about Tianjin.

Wu Shuping nodded politely to Li Huaide, then stood up with the help of the handrail, and under Li Huaide's gaze, she walked to Zhou Xiaobai and the other man and waved.

Li Xuewu looked over here along with everyone else. Seeing the cautious expressions of Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun, he smiled and said, "You two can call me sister-in-law."

Luo Yun looked at him with raised eyebrows, said nothing, then took Zhou Xiaobai's hand and stood up.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaobai lowered his head, trying hard to hide his loss and sadness.

Wu Shuping smiled and pointed to the direction of the stairs, saying, "You've been running all day, you must be tired. I'll take you to your room."

After saying that, he went up the stairs without waiting for the two to answer.

Zhou Xiaobai glanced at the sofa, then followed Luo Yun upstairs.

"I've been here once, but I didn't know your house was here last time."

Zhou Miaomiao glanced at the stairs meaningfully, then said to Li Xuewu with a smile: "If I had known earlier, I would have come over to disturb you a long time ago."

“Come and play often in the future”

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, looked at Li Huaide and said: "Tianjin is colder than Beijing, so it's suitable to come here in summer."

“It’s all the same. I don’t really feel it.”

Li Huaide picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said to Zhou Miaomiao: "You wait here for Teacher Wu, we have something to talk about."

As he spoke, he stood up and pointed to Li Xuewu in the direction of the study.

Those who know that this is Li Xuewu’s house may think it is his.

Of course, this property was given to Li Xuewu by him. Their relationship is now very close, so there is no need to be polite.

There is no need to talk about their working relationship, but as for their private relationship, he was very satisfied with Li Xuewu's approach.

I have heard rumors about Li Xuewu's romantic life before, but this time I saw him in person.

Especially the baby in the other person's belly, I heard there is a special story behind it.

The information Li Haiyang found out was not very complete, but the general outline was very clear.

This Teacher Wu is also a professor of physics at Huaqing University and a colleague of Li Xuewu's brother.

Somehow, I met Li Xuewu and became pregnant.

Of course, Teacher Wu had a lover. I don’t know whether that person discovered something or not, but he never came back.

Later, the large-scale learning movement broke out and Teacher Wu suffered. It was Li Xuewu who rescued him single-handedly.

He had no idea what happened in between, and neither did Li Haiyang. They were lucky to have been able to find out until now.

Those who were involved in this matter either left or died, and Huaqing was in great chaos.

No one knows when Li Xuewu met Wu Shuping, and no one knows whether the child is Li Xuewu's.

Of course, none of this matters anymore. Now Wu Shuping has fled to Tianjin and is living under the protection of Li Xuewu.

Judging from the interaction between the two just now, there is an emotional basis between them. Li Huaide doesn't believe that Li Xuewu would just pull a woman off the street to perform this for him.

Even if he can perform, who would be willing to let his pregnant wife play house with him?

One or two days is fine, but after these few months, no one has come to visit.

He now no longer hides the existence of Zhou Miaomiao from Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu does not hide it from him either. The two of them have kept each other informed and have a basis for mutual trust.
-
In the study, Li Huaide did not sit behind the desk, but sat on the rattan chair in front of the window.

Li Xuewu came in with two cups of tea and asked softly, "Would you like to change to a cup of strong tea?"

"It's okay~"

Li Huaide opened his eyes, waved his hand and said: "I'm not drunk, I'm just a little tired."

"After all, I'm not young anymore, there are not as many as you guys."

“You need to exercise more”

Li Xuewu put down the teacup and sat on the rattan chair. He didn't even close the door and said with concern: "Getting up in the morning and jogging for an hour is good for your heart and lungs, as well as your prostate."

"Haha~"

Li Huaide picked up the teacup and pointed at Li Xuewu, saying with a smile: "You always hit the point."

"Ah~"

After the joke, he sighed lightly, shook his head slightly and said: "Time is merciless. I feel that my physical strength is not as good as before."

"Taking medicine is one thing, but you also need to exercise."

Li Xuewu took a sip of tea and advised: "Take care of your health, it is the capital of revolution."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Li Huaide turned his head and looked at Li Xuewu, and said: "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."

"Haha~"

Li Xuewu raised his head and glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't agree with my approach either?"

"Haha, you're overthinking it."

Li Huaide looked at Li Xuewu and then said with a smile: "No matter how arrogant they are, can they still scare me?"

"I was thinking of you~"

He smiled helplessly and nodded, saying: "I am so proud that I never leave any wiggle room for myself."

"In the steel mill, you claim to be brave and resourceful; in the police station and the garrison, you claim to be upright."

“But”

Li Huaide turned his head and looked at Li Xuewu, and asked, "If someone knows you so well, will they play tricks on you?"

"Either don't do it, give yourself some time to relax, take a step back and the world will be brighter"

"If you do it, do it as ruthlessly as possible. Don't worry about morality, let alone fairness and justice."

Li Huaide pointed his finger at the coffee table between the two of them and said in a sinister tone: "Kill him first, then talk to him about reason. You have the final say on everything."

“I didn’t think it through.”

Li Xuewu nodded solemnly and said: "I mistook false feelings for true feelings and left a legacy."

“Just take it as a lesson.”

Li Huaide waved his hand indifferently and said: "Everyone has been young before, you are already good enough."

After saying that, he nodded, looked at the bookshelf in the study, and said, "Our joint trade project has been going on for a while. Have you seen the other party come out to say a few words?"

"If you don't give him meat today, he will come back to bite you. You have planted the seeds of this evil a long time ago. It's your fault."

Li Huaide tapped the armrest of the rattan chair and said in a gentle but slightly sinister tone: "This kind of person should be starved from the beginning, and not allowed to eat enough. Don't you know how to train a dog?"

"Okay, I support you no matter how you handle this matter."

Li Huaide turned his head and comforted her: "Don't worry about this side of the factory, there won't be any trouble."

"As for the outside..."

He paused, lifted the lid of the teacup and nodded at Li Xuewu, saying: "Don't kill them all. It doesn't matter if you leave a few small ones. Otherwise, the higher-ups will feel sad when the rabbit dies, and they will also hate you."

After saying that, he loosened his hand, letting the teacup lid fall with a clinking sound.

"Tell me about the shipyard. What are your plans?"

"It is mainly based on the future product layout and market competitiveness."

Li Xuewu folded his left leg, turned slightly sideways and looked at Li Huaide and reported: "Any company will face the problem of customer group selection when it intervenes in market competition."

"That is to say, who should we sell the products to, who should use them, and who will buy them again after using them?"

"Yingcheng Shipyard is the product of solving the overflow of steel rolling capacity and the progress in the research and development of special steels in steel mills."

"Building fishing boats or cargo ships, one is small but numerous, the other is large but few, both lack core competitiveness in the market."

Li Xuewu explained to Li Huaide seriously: "I want to sell the goods I have to you. Now we can rely on the planned economy to solve the sales problem, but we cannot solve the problem of profit-R&D recycling."

"So, the shipyard needs to find another way to make a living, right?"

Li Huaide pursed his lips and nodded, saying: "Since we can't accept domestic orders, we can only find a way out from outside."

"Yes, our factory has no R&D foundation, let alone talent and technical reserves."

Li Xuewu explained to him: "Even if the fishing boats or cargo ships we build now are ordered and bought by people, what about five years later? What about ten years later?"

"After the goal of enterprise groupization was achieved, what we were faced with was a mess on the verge of bankruptcy, and life became even more difficult."

"This can't happen!"

Li Huaide frowned and sat back on the rattan chair, and said to Li Xuewu: "I understand your idea. Is this a precaution?"

"It doesn't count..."

Li Xuewu paused, looked into Li Huaide's eyes and said: "You should be very clear that relying solely on the planned economy is unsustainable and can easily go astray."

"Hmm~"

Li Huaide's brows furrowed even deeper, his fingers tapping on the armrest of the rattan chair, and he asked while thinking, "You mean, there is a possibility that the world will change?"

“It’s uncertain, but we must be prepared for opportunities for market-oriented operations.”

Li Xuewu tapped the solid wood coffee table lightly with his fingers and reminded softly: "You can engage in agricultural and sideline production, and run some small and medium-sized factories to produce some products you need and exchange products with the country at an equal value... Isn't this opening up a new path?"

"Oh……"

Li Huaide pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The situation above and with the organization is too difficult, so I had no choice but to do this."

"What I want to say is that times have changed and we should follow the trend."

Li Xuewu lowered his voice and said, "Think about it, if the needs below were not too strong, or if the current social productivity could not really meet the needs of the people, how could we have today..."

"I know I know"

Li Huaide nodded slightly and said, "We must guard against sudden changes, just like today's changes."

"I think so, we can take it slowly"

Li Xuewu explained in a gentle tone: "The fact that the higher-ups allow foreign businessmen to come to the mainland to purchase goods proves that their attitude is clear and open."

"only……"

Li Huaide hesitated and said, "How should we grasp the scale?"

"Of course we firmly maintain it and work hard to create it!"

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huaide seriously and explained: "Our factory must always consider issues from the perspective of all employees in the factory. We must base our efforts on your management ideas and lead you to create a model of corporate management in the new era."

"Uh-huh"

Li Huaide's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to keep up with Li Xuewu's thinking rhythm, and he said with emotion: "In other words, you say one thing to the outside world and another behind the back..."

“It sounds harsh, but the understanding is correct.”

Li Xuewu commented: "For takeaway products, it is to earn foreign exchange and create the economy, but for takeaway craftsmanship, it is not?"

"We must firmly grasp one red line and two basic points, and resolutely take innovation, excellence and foreign exchange earnings as our foreign business goals."

"Internally, we must fully mobilize the company's employees to actively participate in daily management and labor. The factory belongs to everyone and is even more so their home."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Li Huaide turned his eyes around, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "In your opinion, where will be the breakthrough point for Yingcheng Shipyard in the future?"

“Based on the fundamentals, looking to the future”

Li Xuewu's eyes lit up and he explained: "The existing cargo ship and fishing boat manufacturing capabilities will train a large number of technical talents for the shipyard, while the yacht manufacturing capabilities will continue to provide the shipyard with advanced technology and design concepts."

"With talent, technology, and advanced design concepts, what do you think the Yingcheng Shipyard will become?"

“…I don’t dare to think about it.”

Li Huaide shook his head slightly and said: "In the field of light boat manufacturing alone, we are far ahead of the northern shipbuilding industry."

“This is competitiveness”

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huaide with burning eyes and said: "The evaluation criteria for group construction must also take into account whether an enterprise can drive the progress and development of other enterprises."

"I have studied the groupization process of Beijing Automobile Factory. They took the path of continuous mergers, but there are too many disadvantages, and the gains do not outweigh the costs."

“Yes, that’s true.”

Li Huaide thought about what Li Xuewu had reported to him about the group-oriented direction of fine quality, high technology and strict management, and he already had a clear idea of ​​the layout of the shipyard in his mind.

He nodded slowly, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Do you think the future will be the era of small boats?"

"of course not!"

Li Xuewu smiled and took the thermos to refill his bottle with hot water, saying: "I hope our shipyard can directly build a 10,000-ton ship in one go."

"But"

At the moment when Li Huaide's eyes froze, Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "Boats always have production capabilities that large ships do not have."

"Take a 10,000-ton giant ship for example, and ask it to deliver goods to Beijing, can it do it?"

"Take patrol boats as an example. Is it better to modify a fishing boat or is the fast one we want to build more suitable?"

Li Xuewu put down the thermos and said to Li Huaide: "I dare not say whether the future will be an era of big ships or an era of small ships. I dare say that the future will be an era of fast ships."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Li Huaide patted the armrest of the rattan chair and said, "You want to solve the problem of ship sales from the perspective of speed!"

"There's always an advantage!"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Just like our cars, if yours is of better quality than mine, then I will have more functions than yours. If yours has a larger capacity than mine, then I will be cheaper than yours."

“Yeah, you’re right.”

Li Huaide nodded slowly and said: "Fiberglass boats have disadvantages. Yingcheng Shipyard has just started and also has weaknesses."

"If we get through this start-up period and suddenly we have the Clippers, then..."

He looked thoughtfully at the decorative paintings on the wall and asked quietly, "What can the Clippers do?"
-
"When is the due date?"

Zhou Miaomiao looked at Wu Shuping's belly curiously, and then said in a somewhat special tone: "Will it be hard to be pregnant?"

“It’s a bit hard.”

Wu Shuping looked at the girl in front of her with a smile and said, "Fortunately, she will be able to give birth next month, and then the only thing left will be the tiredness."

"what?"

Zhou Miaomiao looked at her in surprise and said, "Then... is it painful to give birth?"

"Maybe~"

Wu Shuping lowered her head and touched her belly, saying: "I am looking forward to him leaving all the pain to me, so that I can live a worry-free life."

"No wonder the book says that maternal love is great~"

Zhou Miaomiao said with some emotion: "Being a mother is really difficult."

As he said this, there was even some sympathy and mutual respect in the look he gave Wu Shuping.

The pain of giving birth is fine, but if the remaining child has no name or status, it is also a torture for the woman.

She didn't dare to try it, let alone be so bold. She would never have a child with Li Huaide.

Unless he divorces himself and marries me.

Having pity for Wu Shuping also means having pity for herself. Li Xuewu kept Wu Shuping as his beautiful daughter in a luxurious house here, but next door, Li Huaide also kept her in the same house.

Looking at Wu Shuping's loving motherly eyes, thinking that Li Xuewu only came once a month in Beijing, in the future...

"The love between parents is the most sincere in the world, their tears and blood melt into their children's bodies."

"Parents devote all their efforts to their children. How pitiful are the hearts of parents in the world!"

Zhou Miaomiao glanced at Wu Shuping, feeling sad about her stupidity in her heart, but she tried to comfort her with her mouth, and seemed to be glad that she was now sober.

Li Huaide and Li Xuewu came out of the study room and happened to hear her say this. They scolded her in an unpleasant tone, "What nonsense!"

After he finished speaking, he noticed Zhou Miaomiao and Wu Shuping looking at him, so he nodded at his girlfriend and reminded her, "Teacher Wu is a professor of physics at Huaqing University. It would be embarrassing for you to show off your knowledge in front of an expert."

"what?"

When Zhou Miaomiao heard Li Huaide's words, she was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Wu Shuping in disbelief.

Although she has the gracefulness of a southern girl, there isn't much of a scholar's temperament on her face.

Another thing is that during the conversation just now, the other party did not mention the topic of learning and cultivation, but she kept talking about the knowledge in the books she had read recently...

So embarrassing!

It's not just an embarrassing issue, she is even a little unconvinced, or unwilling to face the current facts.

Ever since she heard that Li Xuewu had a confidante here, she had been thinking about coming to see her.

The moment she saw Wu Shuping, she was a little arrogant. In terms of appearance and figure, she definitely crushed the other one.

At first, Li Xuewu turned a blind eye to her advances, but secretly found a woman of such plain appearance and even had a child with her. He was really short-sighted.

Even if she is generous, a beautiful girl from a good family, and gives birth to his children, so what? After all, the children will be raised outside.

There was a saying in the past that if you marry a wife, marry a virtuous one; if you marry a concubine, marry a beautiful one. Since Li Xuewu already has a wife, if he finds another one, she must be very beautiful.

did not expect……

I didn’t expect to find such a fucking university professor!

what the hell!

Is it so difficult to be a mistress now? !
She looked at Wu Shuping in a daze, wondering if her junior high school education alone made her unqualified to have children.

This Li Xuewu is really... really hard to figure out. Even when looking for someone from outside, he would choose someone with a high level of education. No wonder he looked down on me at the beginning.

Li Huaide smiled at Wu Shuping apologetically. He respected intellectuals very much, especially those who were young and educated like Wu Shuping.

Li Xuewu saw him and Zhou Miaomiao, who still had a dazed look on her face, off. The moment he turned around and closed the door, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Wu Shuping stood in front of the sofa, holding her waist, looking at Li Xuewu strangely. When he came closer, she said, "He investigated me."

"inevitable"

Li Xuewu stood behind the sofa, supporting himself with his hands on the backrest, and said in a gentle tone: "I knew from the beginning that he would do these little tricks."

"Is there going to be a problem?"

Wu Shuping glanced at the nanny's room on the first floor, and her concern expressed included the woman who had suddenly appeared.

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, although she is not one of us, she is not an outsider either."

"I see"

Wu Shuping frowned slightly and nodded, then asked, "What's next...?"

"continue!"

Li Xuewu patted the back of the sofa lightly, stood up straight and said: "Zhou Miaomiao came back early because of Li Huaide's instructions, and all the subsequent situations were also his way of testing you."

"But don't worry, just live your life the way you should. Make the real seem empty and the empty seem real."

As he said this, Li Xuewu walked around the sofa and came to Wu Shuping. He raised his hand to support her and pointed to the direction of the stairs, saying, "I'll take you upstairs."

"it is good"

Wu Shuping glanced out the window and let Li Xuewu help her go up to the second floor. When she passed the guest room, she could still hear footsteps.

"They are..."

"The more you try to cover it up, the more obvious it becomes, confusing people and hearing."

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to the noise in the guest room. He sent Wu Shuping to the master bedroom and stood in front of the window to close the curtains.

Then he turned off the lights in the room, leaving only the bedside lamp for Wu Shuping.

"Go to bed early. I have to rush to Yingcheng early tomorrow morning. You can sleep and you don't have to get up to accompany me in the morning."

"it is good"

Wu Shuping nodded while lying on the bed and said softly: "I'll treat Zhou Miaomiao to a simple meal at noon."

"Feel free to go wherever is convenient for you"

Li Xuewu unbuttoned his shirt, stood at the door and said, "Don't pay too much attention to her. She is smarter than you think."

After saying that, he smiled slightly, said good night to Wu Shuping and went out.

Of course I have to leave. This is not a game of lurking. I still have to sleep in the same bed.

It is impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on him, unless the other party doesn't want to live.

Besides, it’s a matter of mutual trust. What Li Huaide wants is attitude, not facts.

"Humph~"

As soon as Li Xuewu came out, he saw Luo Yun standing by the door in his pajamas, leaning against the door frame with his arms folded, and humming, "I guess I was right about you!"

"Using you?"

Li Xuewu twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at her and said, "Stand up straight. Who taught you to lean against the door frame to talk? How can you behave like a girl?"

"Humph! You're still talking about me~"

Luo Yun grabbed Li Xuewu's arm and dragged him into the guest room, saying angrily: "Explain it quickly, you've wiped your tears twice."

"What?"

Li Xuewu was dragged into the guest room by her. Just after he asked a question, he saw Zhou Xiaobai sitting beside the bed, covering her face and avoiding him.

"Crying~"

Luo Yun explained to Li Xuewu who was looking over with a look of disappointment, then nodded to Zhou Xiaobai and climbed onto the bed with a pout.

Li Xuewu gave her an amused look, then walked to the bed, pulled out a rattan chair and sat down, looking sideways at Zhou Xiaobai who was looking down.

"What's wrong? Are you crying now?"

After that, he pulled a tissue from the bedside table and handed it to me, saying, "Are you homesick, or has the tall, upright, and glorious image of me in your heart collapsed?"

"Need to say more?"

Luo Yun, who was rolling around on the bed, pouted and said, "You don't know what position you hold in her mind. She gets anxious every time I say something."

After saying that, he poked Zhou Xiaobai who was lowering her head, and seeing her twisting her body to avoid him, he said with a smile: "Explain quickly, who is the lover of that sister-in-law, and is that child yours?"

"Haha~"

Li Xuewu stretched out his finger and lifted Zhou Xiaobai's chin, then looked at the tearful girl and asked with a smile, "Are you crying because you love someone?"

Zhou Xiaobai pursed her lips, tears falling down her face. She looked at him aggrievedly, not daring to move her chin away.

"Hahaha~"

Li Xuewu found her expression even more interesting and said jokingly, "Who said that the child is mine?"

"Um……?"

Zhou Xiaobai looked up at him, with some sympathy in his eyes.

"What are you thinking about!"

Li Xuewu raised his hand and flicked her head, then rubbed her head and said, "Silly child, you believed me when I said it was my lover. If I really had a lover outside, would I have let you see it?"

"what?"

Zhou Xiaobai looked at him blankly and opened his mouth. His brain wasn't working properly at the moment as tears just came back and his mouth was a little wet.

"Fool!"

Luo Yun climbed up from the bed, not caring that his pajamas were too loose and exposed, and hugged Zhou Xiaobai from behind and said, "I told you that Brother Li's words are not to be trusted, but you insisted on believing them!"

"Hey! Hey! What are you talking about!"

Li Xuewu pretended to flick her head and threatened, "Speak nicely, don't ask for a fight!"

"Humph~"

Luo Yun was somewhat familiar with him. She pouted her lips, then suddenly stood up with a smile, jumped directly from the bed to his back, put her arms around his shoulders and neck, leaned close to his ear and said, "I knew that the person I admire would not turn bad!"

"Oops~"

Li Xuewu held her from behind and said with disdain, "Do I worship you?!"

"I do not care!"

Luo Yun smiled and hugged his neck tightly, saying coquettishly: "You are my idol, you are not allowed to become bad!"

"That……"

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Luo Yun and Li Xuewu quarreling with some envy, and now she realized that she had misunderstood.

I'm afraid Li Xuewu has other arrangements or is going to do something, so he said that.

Ever since Luo Yun said that he came out of the master bedroom, she had a premonition that things were not as she thought.

Zhou Xiaobai was just blaming himself for being too imaginative and wrong about him. He was a gentleman and would never take the initiative to do that to him.

"So, what is your relationship with that sister-in-law?"

"Haha, friendship"

Li Xuewu watched her muster up the courage to ask the question, turned around with Luo Yun on his back, and threw him directly onto the bed.

Ignoring Luo Yun's screams, he reached out and touched Zhou Xiaobai's head and said, "But for now, we have to say that we are lovers. Do you understand?"

"Ok!"

Zhou Xiaobai tilted his head back and let Li Xuewu touch his head like a kitten.

But after just confirming it, she was still a little worried, so she opened her eyes and asked, "Then... where are you sleeping tonight?"

"Oh~"

Li Xuewu looked at her and said with a smile, "I was so busy arranging rooms for you that I forgot to arrange one for myself."

"Then~~"

He lowered his head and got close to Zhou Xiaobai's face, and asked with a smile: "Can I share a room with you? Let's kick Luo Yun out!"

Zhou Xiaobai said with a blushing face: "This... this is not good~"
