Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

Xu Damao, who was initially a little apprehensive, perked up immediately upon hearing the words "next time."

"Okay, okay, I'll eat it next time, I'll eat it next time."

"Lust is a double-edged sword. But what does it matter if I have a sword on my back if I can win over Qin Jingru? I'll be free now!"

The pot was hot, and Xu Damao picked up a piece of mutton to cook. The mutton was incredibly tender, just like Qin Jingru's face.

Qin Jingru felt embarrassed because Xu Damao kept staring at her.

"Brother Xu, I ran into Deputy Section Chief Cao at the guesthouse last night."

Qin Jingru's words immediately choked Xu Damao, who coughed several times before recovering.

"What...what did he say to you?"

Qin Jingru handed Xu Damao a glass of water and asked in confusion.

"Eat slowly, you're choking."

"Actually, he didn't say anything to me. What, are you afraid he'll tell me something?"

Xu Damao said with a serious expression.

"What am I afraid of? I'm just afraid you'll be deceived by him."

"He is my ex-wife's godbrother, so he is also my half-brother-in-law."

"He has a lot of opinions about my divorce from her sister. Just listen to what he says, and if you have any questions, just ask me directly."

Qin Jingru was unaware of the connection between Cao Xu and Xu Damao, and she suddenly realized what Xu Damao meant when she heard him say that.

"No wonder when I asked him who was the good person, you or Sha Zhu, he said neither of you were suitable for me. So that's why."

Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It seemed that Cao Xu simply didn't think much of him and hadn't said anything bad about him.

"Jingru, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat. If you're still hungry, we'll add more."

Upstairs, Cao Xu and the others had their dishes served. At that moment, Zhao Dong arrived late and placed a bottle of wine on the table.

"Section Chief, I'd like to add another dish for you."

Liu Huai-ren looked at the bottle on the table with the words "Maotai" written on it, then looked at the appearance of the liquor and stood up.

"Wow, Zhao Dong, you're really going all out today. Where did you get this wine?"

Cao Xu and Cheng Yuan also looked over; it was Moutai, especially the 1955 Moutai.

Cheng Yuan knew about Zhao Dong's family situation; his father was a person who liked to drink, but he wasn't addicted to alcohol.

"Zhao Dong, you didn't steal the wine your father hid, did you?"

Zhao Dong scratched his head after hearing Cheng Yuan's teasing.

“Team Leader Cheng, taking wine from home isn’t stealing, it’s just taking it for granted.”

"Besides, my dad has plenty of liquor; he wouldn't notice if one or two bottles were missing."

Cao Xu took the 55-year-old Moutai. He had been fortunate enough to drink it once in his previous life, and he never expected to drink it again today.

"Since we've already brought it, let's open it for him. After all, it's Dongzi's intention."

"Hurry up and make it, Dongzi. This bottle of Moutai is like adding another dish for us."

Zhao Dong waved his hand.

"Section Chief, this isn't the dish. The dish I'm talking about is right here. Look down." 883

Cao Xu's private room was by the window, Zhao Dong walked to the window and pointed to the people below.

"See? This is the kind of dish I was talking about."

Cao Xu looked in the direction he was pointing and saw He Yuzhu standing by the roadside, with Qin Huairu blocking his way and trying to dissuade him.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuan tucked his hands into his sleeves and shook his head.

"Alright, today's trip wasn't a waste, we're in for a good show."

During the shift handover, Cao Xu mentioned Xu Damao's matter briefly.

I also reminded him to be careful about the shops under the factory's name recently, so that they don't cause any more trouble.

As Cao Xu's confidant, Zhao Dong naturally knew about these things, but the security personnel standing nearby were completely clueless.

Cheng Yuan was a lively person, so he simply told everyone about it.

"That woman just now was Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu's younger sister, and Sha Zhu's blind date. But now she's having dinner with Xu Damao. Isn't that interesting?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became interested. They weren't stupid; they understood as soon as Cheng Yuan finished speaking.

It's just that Xu Damao intercepted Sha Zhu's blind date, and the two of them were caught on a date by the real person.

Liu Huai-ren, who was always eager to watch the drama unfold, stepped forward and offered his analysis.

"If you ask me, Sha Zhu is really dumbfounded this time. His perfect blind date was snatched away by his rival."

"Do you think these two will start fighting and put on a good show of two men fighting over one woman?"

The next member responded.

"We definitely have to fight. If we don't, are we even men?"

The person next to him chimed in.

"That Sha Zhu is really unlucky. He lost his job and lost money. He couldn't find a wife in the city and ended up marrying a country woman, but Xu Damao snatched her away. If you ask me, the two of them will fight to the death in a bit."

A shorter member whispered.

"Section Chief, Team Leader, if a fight really breaks out, should we intervene?"

Cao Xu glanced at him and asked.

"You're going to handle this?"

Cheng Yuan stepped forward and put his arm around the shorter man's shoulder.

“We’re off work now, we’re out having dinner together. This is Donglaishun’s turf, what does it have to do with us?”

"If this were someone else's business, I might say a few words of advice, but Xu Damao's business? Heh, he deserves to be beaten to death!"

Zhao Dong knew that Cheng Yuan was a doting husband. His wife was less than three months pregnant, and he took leave during the Chinese New Year to let her stay home and rest.

“Team Leader Cheng is right. If a fight really breaks out, the neighborhood committee and the local police station will handle it. We can just watch the show.”

Cao Xu watched as He Yuzhu, who had already shaken off Qin Huairu's entanglement, walked towards Donglaishun. He thought, "He's come at just the right time. Xu Damao is really unlucky."

At the entrance of Donglaishun Restaurant, He Yuzhu was furious. Yesterday, Qin Jingru said she was going to the toilet before dinner, but she never came back.

He prepared six dishes and waited at Qin Huairu's house until dark, but no one came back.

Finally, still worried that something might happen to her, I searched the streets for an hour or so.

When I returned, I received news from Qin Huairu that the person had gone back.

He also left a note saying that he was worried about his sick mother at home and was going home first.

Qin Huairu and her sister He Yushui both said that Qin Jingru ran away because she didn't like him, but he didn't believe it.

He felt that the two of them had a good chat yesterday, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were discussing marriage. Something must have happened in between.

So today he asked Qin Huairu to take him to her hometown to have a look. Although they weren't officially dating, he couldn't go to her family home empty-handed on his first visit.

So he and Qin Huairu bought some food in Dashilan and prepared to take a bus to the countryside to take a look.

Unexpectedly, they saw Xu Damao and Qin Jingru riding past on another street. Sha Zhu, no longer thinking about going to the countryside, immediately followed them.

While others had two wheels, they had four legs. They chased after them and finally arrived at Wangfujing, eventually spotting Xu Damao's bicycle at the entrance of Donglaishun.

Seeing the people inside chatting and laughing as they ate around the hot pot, He Yuzhu finally understood. It turned out that Xu Damao, that bastard, had stabbed him in the back and made things difficult for him.

As soon as Cheng Yuan and the others saw people enter Donglaishun, they couldn't sit still anymore and ran out, leaving the waiters at the door stunned.

If he hadn't already paid, he would have suspected that these people were trying to skip out on the bill.

Seeing that the group had reached the junction between the first and second floors, Cao Xu said to the waiter next to him.

"Don't worry about them, I'm just going out to have some fun, I'll be back in a bit."

The waiter agreed to Cao Xu's request, but he was still puzzled. What was so interesting outside? Could it be that another high-ranking official had come?

Just then, a roar came from downstairs.

"Xu Damao, you son of a bitch, I'll beat you to death today."

A minute later, Cao Xu, who was standing at the second-floor window, saw Xu Damao being dragged out of Donglaishun by He Yuzhu by the hair.

"They were smart enough not to fight inside Donglaishun."

Cheng Yuan and the others ran back to the window and heard Xu Damao's wailing from below.
