Siheyuan: A pioneer of morality

As soon as Lou Bancheng and his daughter arrived home, Lou Tan came down from the second floor and asked them, "Where did you two go? I thought you weren't coming back for dinner."

"No need to prepare, we've already eaten." Lou Bancheng said, and sat down on the sofa. Then he waved to Lou Xiao'e and said, "Xiao'e, come and sit down. Daddy wants to ask you something."

Seeing Lou Bancheng's serious face, Lou Tan walked over to him and sat down, curiously asking, "What's wrong with you two? Why are you so serious?"

At this time, Lou Xiao'e walked to the sofa opposite Lou Bancheng and sat down, staring at her toes without saying a word.

After Lou Xiao'e sat down, Lou Bancheng asked seriously, "Xiao'e, how did you know Zhou Jianjun?"

Hearing Lou Bancheng's question, Lou Xiao'e looked up at him and said, "Last time when I was riding a bike in Shichahai, I accidentally bumped into him. Then I wanted to invite him to dinner, but he didn't agree. Today I happened to meet him again, so I invited him to dinner."

Lou Bancheng frowned and thought for a while, then continued to ask, "Do you know anything else about him?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and remained silent.

She had only met Zhou Jianjun twice, and she only knew his name today. She didn't know anything else.

Lou Tan looked at the father and daughter from the side, with a curious look on her face, "Who is this Zhou Jianjun you are talking about?"

Lou Xiao'e blushed and looked at Lou Bancheng, then got up and went upstairs.

Lou Bancheng laughed and said jokingly, "My girl has a crush on someone!"

"Xiao'e has a crush on someone?" Hearing Lou Bancheng's words, Lou Tan was immediately surprised, "That's great, Xiao'e is old enough to consider getting married."

"Is that Jianjun you mentioned? What does the boy look like? Bring him home to see him one day."

"I just don't know what the boy's family background is. I'll have to find out later."

Lou Bancheng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "He doesn't like Xiao'e."

Although he had only been in contact with Zhou Jianjun for a while, Lou Bancheng, as a veteran in the business world, was good at observing people's expressions. How could he not see that Zhou Jianjun was against him and his daughter?

"Ah?" Lou Tan was shocked. "How could he not like Xiao'e?"

Lou Bancheng looked at Lou Tan with a bitter face and said, "I guess it's not that he didn't like Xiao'e, but that he didn't like our family."

When Zhou Jianjun said "black, white and gray", Lou Bancheng knew that he was talking about the class background issue. It was because he couldn't solve this problem that he married Lou Xiao'e to Xu Damao in the plot.

If it weren't for the family background, Xu Damao would never have had any contact with Lou Xiao'e in his life.

Lou Tan's expression was even more shocked. "Didn't like our family? You are Lou Bancheng, who is well-known outside. How could that be?"

"Hey." Lou Bancheng sighed and murmured, "The young man said that he is white and our family is gray."

"What white and gray, what are you talking about?" Lou Tan looked confused.

Lou Bancheng ignored her and said to himself: "White ones can live, and gray ones can turn white or black at any time."

At this point, Lou Bancheng paused and said coldly: "Those who turn white can live. Those who turn black..."

"What's wrong with black? Tell me quickly!" Although Lou Tan didn't understand what he meant, she still asked urgently.

"Black ones must die!" Lou Bancheng said in a cold tone.

Hearing Lou Bancheng's words, Lou Tan stood up from the sofa and asked nervously: "What do you mean by dead or alive, Old Lou, explain it to me clearly."

"Don't talk about this matter for now, wait until I find out the identity of that kid."

After Lou Bancheng finished speaking, he waved to the bodyguard at the door, and when he came over, he ordered him: "Xiao Li, go and find out who Zhou Jianjun is!"

"Okay, master." Xiao Li agreed and walked out the door.

At this moment, in the room on the second floor, Lou Xiao'e lay quietly on the bed, covering her head tightly with a soft pillow, as if avoiding some thoughts that she didn't want to face.

Her mind replayed every moment of her time with Zhou Jianjun today over and over again. Those details, conversations, and even subtle changes in expression, all stirred up ripples in her heart.

"Why did he want me to stay away from him?" She kept thinking about this question in her mind.

Just as she was thinking about it, Lou Tan pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing Lou XiaoXiao'e looked absent-minded, and Lou Tan frowned and asked, "Xiao'e, what are you thinking about?"

"No...nothing." Lou Xiao'e stuttered.

"Don't be shy, tell me what you want to say. I can help you with some advice." Lou Tan comforted her softly.

Lou Xiao'e's eyes instantly turned red, and she said aggrievedly, "Mom, I don't understand why Zhou Jianjun asked me to stay away from him."

"We've only met twice, why does he hate me?"

"Silly child." Lou Tan said, stepped forward and hugged her, and comforted her softly, "You also said that you have only met twice. Why do you care so much about his opinion of you?"

"I...I." Lou Xiao'e stuttered for a long time, but couldn't say anything.

"Okay, okay, my dear girl, is she thinking about love? It doesn't matter, next time let your dad invite him to the house, and let your dad ask him what he thinks." Lou Tan teased.

"Mom!" Lou Xiao'e called out, and then shyly threw herself into Lou Tan's arms.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e like this, Lou Tan immediately understood her thoughts, and secretly thought in her heart, "I have to talk to Old Lou later and ask him to investigate this Zhou Jianjun."

After only meeting twice, Lou Xiao'e fell in love with him, and Lou Tan was also very surprised.

"Is this the legendary love at first sight?"

In fact, it is not entirely true. You can understand it if you think about it carefully.

Why are some good girls attracted to some little ruffians in school or just after graduation?

Because they grew up in a comfortable environment, they have never seen men who rejected them or did bad things to them.

There is a saying that goes, women don't love men who are not bad.

This badness also depends on what kind of badness!

And Zhou Jianjun just happened to be bad to Lou Xiao'e's heart.
