Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 420

If I secretly report this to my superiors, wouldn't I be exposing myself?

Then she asked, "But my family situation is a bit special, I..."

Director Zhu chuckled, "Do you think we can't find out about your situation? Your sister-in-law? The female neighbor next door? And those outside..."

"you..."

"If you were a leading cadre, you might have been taken down directly."

Director Zhu said, "But you were just an ordinary worker before, so this kind of lifestyle issue can be forgiven."

When Director Zhu saw He Yuzhu's dashing lifestyle, he himself felt a little jealous.

Why are there wives on the streets?

"Alright, we've got the facts of this matter, so you can live your life in peace now."

Women outside can live peacefully and obediently, and leaders won't act recklessly, especially He Yuzhu, who is so young yet can invent new lathes, and perhaps in a while he can upgrade and modify them.

His achievements shouldn't be negated because of a small mistake in his life. It would be a waste of talent.

Yu Zhu had mixed feelings. After seeing Director Zhu off, he held a meeting and introduced the new head of the security department to the other leaders.

The original head of the security department had to be reassigned as his deputy to assist Zhang Guangming in his work.

When the announcement was made, the other party looked aggrieved, since it wasn't He Yuzhu who promoted them, but rather the street office that arranged it.

Soon it was time to leave work, and Zhao Yuezhen found He Yuzhu and asked to leave with him.

"Okay, I've thought about it. I'll say you're my family member's cousin later. Do you think that's okay?"

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

Zhao Yuezhen pushed her bicycle, with a set of her luggage on the back seat.

The two rode their bicycles into the city and then arrived at Qianmen Hutong.

Xu Huizhen was somewhat surprised when she pushed her bicycle into the house.

He quickly pulled He Yuzhu into the inner room.

Somewhat disbelieving, he asked, "You brought another young wife home today?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I brought your cousin back."

Xu Huizhen retorted angrily, "How could I not recognize my cousin?"

"From now on, she'll be your cousin."

Hearing He Yuzhu talking nonsense, Xu Huizhen immediately reached out and twisted his ear.

"You, He Yuzhu, I bore your children, and you're bringing other women home?"

He Yuzhu quickly begged for mercy, thinking to himself that he was glad he hadn't listened to him and honestly confessed his problems.

When a wife gets angry, she'll bring up old grievances.

He recounted all the mistakes he made years ago.

He Yuzhu quickly said, "Let me explain. This is Comrade Zhao Yuezhen, the deputy head of the security department of our factory. She will be living at home from now on. Just tell others that she is your cousin."

"What?" Xu Huizhen thought she had misheard.

He Yuzhu explained the whole story, saying, "This is a talent that the leader just sent over today. How could I possibly have a mistress behind your back?"

"You haven't looked for enough already? Let's just forget about the previous ones, but you can't look for anyone else in the future."

"Yes, yes, I didn't look for them before either." He Yuzhu certainly wouldn't admit it, since he wasn't going to bring them home anyway.

Xu Huizhen snorted, then turned into a smile and walked out of the house, taking Zhao Yuezhen's small hand and saying, "So my cousin is so beautiful."

"Hello, cousin."

Inside the room, Xu Huizhi was giggling, and He Yuzhu said angrily, "Couldn't you have helped me hold it?"

"I was startled too. Who knew you would bring a woman home without a word?"

He Yuzhu said, feeling wronged, "I was doing this for your safety."

Xu Huizhi glared at him, then went out to see Zhao Yuezhen. She invited him into the house and said a few words, and the three of them became acquainted.

The west wing was originally a guest room, so they arranged for her to stay there.

After having dinner together, Zhao Yuezhen was still a little reserved, and then she went straight to the west wing.

Xu Huizhi said, "It seems she should know about our affairs."

Then the two sisters glared at He Yuzhu together.

Why are you all looking at me? Go to sleep!

Time flew by, and He Yuzhu's compressor research and development work also reached a dead end.

There's one problem I just can't solve: the compressors I make start to malfunction after working continuously for a while.

He Yuzhu was very angry.

Just as he was racking his brains, Lü Xiaomi pushed open the door and came in, asking, "Are you still going to eat lunch?"

"Please get me a meal and bring it over."

Lü Xiaomi had already finished preparing the food and walked straight in, placing the lunchbox on the workbench.

Q: "What's wrong? You look so worried?"

"Go close the door, it's windy."

Lü Xiaomi looked back. It was already springtime; where was the wind?

Suspicious in his heart, He Yuzhu decided not to go, as he suspected he might be up to no good.

He Yuzhu glared and said, "Go!"

Helpless, Lü Xiaomi got up to close the door and then came back.

He Yuzhu asked him to sit down in front of him, then picked up his lunchbox and started eating, casually chatting with her.

Lu Xiaomi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that He Yuzhu was just using this as an excuse to harass her.

After he finished eating and washed his hands, he returned to his workbench.

As expected, Lü Xiaomi took her little hand and played with it.

He Yuzhu shamelessly added, "I feel very at ease when I hold your hand, and my mind becomes more active."

"Pah, you liar," Lü Xiaomi said, blushing.

“Really, I never lie,” He Yuzhu said earnestly.

Lu Xiaomi suddenly asked, "Are you trying to make a move on me?"

He Yuzhu hadn't expected him to ask so directly and didn't know how to answer.

Lu Xiaomi said angrily, "Hmph, I knew you were a bad guy."

He Yuzhu said, "I'm not a bad guy. It's normal for a man to like a pretty girl from the bottom of his heart."

"You still say no? Then why did you hold my hand?"

He Yuzhu said, "This is a very normal thing."

Lu Xiaomi warned, "I'm not that kind of girl, so give up on that idea."

"Look at what you're saying, I didn't do anything."

Lu Xiaomi gritted her teeth; that letter of allegiance had always been a thorn in her side.

Until that problem is solved, I will always be living in fear.

"I know you still have that book, so please give it back to me, okay?"

"I really don't."

Lu Xiaomi suddenly said, "If you return that book to me, I'll let you kiss me, okay?"

“This…” He Yuzhu suddenly hesitated.

Lü Xiaomi shouted, "You still say that book isn't in your possession?"

He Yuzhu then realized that he had fallen into Lü Xiaomi's trap.

However, knowing there was no problem, he said, "You're the one lying to me."

Lü Xiaomi said, "I'm not lying to you. As long as you return it to me, I can let you kiss me once."

She was determined to get that piece of paper back and didn't want to drag it out any longer, otherwise who knew what might happen in the future.

If He Yuzhu were to ask her to be his woman one day, would she have any room to resist?

It would be better to take the initiative now and get that piece of paper at a minimal cost.

She would gladly sacrifice her first kiss.

"I think you're lying to me. Did I tell you about that piece of paper?"

"You just admitted it."

Lü Xiaomi said, "I admit that I was scared when I faced the enemy's interrogation. I was just a young girl and I didn't want to die. They threatened to strip me naked, hang me up, and then rape me. What could I do?"
