1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

"You shameless bitch, stay away from me..."

These words were like a bolt from the blue. Qin Huairu was struck by lightning and her face turned pale in an instant.

Her mind was in a mess. Just now, Xu Damao clearly said that he did not tell Jia Dongxu the truth, so how did Jia Dongxu know it?

Jia Dongxu has been very cold to her these days. Is it because he already knows about her and Li Dahu?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Qin Huairu broke out in a cold sweat.

She couldn't help but stagger, and her hand that was holding Jia Dongxu almost let go.

Jia Dongxu sensed her change, snorted coldly, pushed her aside, and staggered drunkenly into the house.

Only Qin Huairu was left standing there, feeling both scared and embarrassed.

She felt extremely upset when Jia Dongxu called her a "shameless slut".

Thinking back then, she and Li Dahu couldn't help themselves.

At that time, she was planning to marry Li Dahu, and she didn't expect that an experience of going to the city would change her mind.

Her desire to live in the city changed everything.

In order to achieve her goal, she was so cruel as to break up with Li Dahu, with whom she had had physical contact.

She also thought about how she would face it if her true identity was exposed on her wedding night since she was no longer a virgin.

However, on the wedding night, Jia Dongxu was drunk by Sha Zhu and his gang, and he did not spend the bridal chamber with her at all.

At that time, she just stripped naked for Jia Dongxu, and the two of them lay together without doing anything. She and Jia Dongxu's virginity was just muddled away by her.

At the beginning, she felt lucky for herself. After all, she spent the wedding night safely. Even if Jia Dongxu found out afterwards, she would deny it.

Plus, she looks so weak and pitiful, everyone will definitely believe her.

What surprised her was that Jia Dongxu loved her very much at that time and never doubted her at all.

She thought the matter had just passed, but she didn't expect it to be discovered now.

She did not expect that things would develop to this point today. The crisis that did not happen many years ago suddenly broke out this year and put her into a crisis.

Now that Jia Dongxu had exposed her directly, Qin Huairu didn't know how to face it.

Qin Huairu stood in the yard, like a flower hit by frost, her expression gloomy, her heart full of panic, shame and uneasiness.

Jia Dongxu's words "shameless slut" stabbed her like a sharp blade, causing her heart to collapse instantly.

Her face was as pale as paper, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

Just as Qin Huairu was immersed in painful memories, Yi Zhonghai's familiar voice came from the opposite side.

"Huai Ru, is Dong Xu back? Is he drunk again? This Dong Xu is still incorrigible, which really makes me worry."

Qin Huairu's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by these words, and her body trembled slightly like a frightened rabbit.

She quickly gathered herself together and tried to calm herself down.

But her eyes still revealed panic and her face was still pale.

Qin Huairu pretended to be pitiful and said to Yi Zhonghai who was standing opposite her: "Uncle, I am really sorry for causing you trouble. Look, it's so late at night and I still asked you to get up. I don't know who Dongxu went out to drink with today, and he came back so late!"

Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of crying.

Her hands were clenched tightly together, her nails digging deep into the flesh, revealing her inner tension.

Yi Zhonghai walked towards Qin Huairu and said, "Huairu, you don't have to be polite to me. I am Dongxu's master. We are all family. Why should we be different from each other? I'll go see Dongxu and ask him who he went out drinking with!"

Yi Zhonghai had a concerned look on his face, but there was a barely perceptible gleam in his eyes.

Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt warm in her heart. At this time, there was someone who cared about her and made decisions for her, which made her feel extremely warm.

She nodded gratefully to Yi Zhonghai and said timidly: "Thank you, uncle. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do..."

Her eyes were full of gratitude and tears welled up in her eyes.

Even afterwards, Qin Huairu couldn't help sobbing, and her tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Her shoulders were shaking slightly, and she looked extremely fragile.

Qin Huairu was crying at this time because she wanted Yi Zhonghai to soften his heart and speak for her and make decisions for her.

After all, in the eyes of her neighbors in the courtyard, she has always been an image of a good daughter-in-law who is diligent and hardworking.

Qin Huairu didn't know that her tearful appearance really made Yi Zhonghai's heart flutter.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help himself and walked towards Qin Huairu involuntarily.

And as an elder, he gently patted Qin Huairu's shoulder.

His movements were gentle, as if he was comforting a wounded bird.

If Qin Huairu looked into his eyes, she would find that the way Yi Zhonghai looked at him was very similar to the way Xu Damao looked at him just now.

It’s a pity that Qin Huairu didn’t realize this at all. She was still feeling warm about the old man’s concern for her and hadn’t thought about anything else at all.

Yi Zhonghai had never done such a thing before, but today he was dominated by the emotions surging in his heart and made such a bold attempt.

Moreover, he felt that since he was the elder, it was not excessive for him to comfort the younger generation.

Qin Huairu did not feel any disgust at his physical contact at this time. She just felt that Yi Zhonghai's comfort made her feel a little more comfortable.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu and felt secretly proud.

He knew that Qin Huairu was in a weak position now, and it was a good time for him to gradually approach her.

He wanted to take advantage of Qin Huairu's affair with Xu Damao to control her and make her work for his own purposes, so he had to seize the opportunity to get close to her.

There was a glimmer of cunning in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Yi Zhonghai turned around and walked into the house. Seeing that Jia Dongxu was drunk and unconscious, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now he was worried that Jia Dongxu would find out some flaws after coming back, and then it would be difficult for him to control Qin Huairu.

Jia Dongxu was drunk today, which made him feel relieved.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu who was sleeping soundly, then turned to Qin Huairu and gave her another instruction: "Huairu, take care of the cleanup and get some rest. You are tired, so we can talk about it tomorrow. As for Dongxu, I will have a good talk with him tomorrow."

His tone was gentle, like that of a kind elder.

Qin Huairu was full of gratitude to Yi Zhonghai. She felt extremely warm in her heart as Uncle Yi was still working hard for her, making decisions for her and comforting her late at night.

She personally sent Yi Zhonghai to the door and said, "Uncle, please go back and go to bed early. Sorry for bothering you!"

Her eyes were full of gratitude and respect.

The old man in front of her is the only elder of Jia Dongxu now. If she wants to continue living in the Jia family in the future, she still has to rely on the old man!

"Ok!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu meaningfully, thinking about his next plan in his mind, and turned to walk towards the opposite side.

He knew that in order to completely control Qin Huairu, he would need more time and opportunities.

But he believed that as long as he waited patiently, the opportunity would always come.
