Courtyard House: In this life, I have a new home!

21

Finally, Sha Zhu couldn't hold on any longer.

gone.

Ding Qiunan let out a long sigh of relief.

I felt incredibly disgusted.

Right now, she felt disgusted with Sha Zhu.

That's the end of it!

After Sha Zhu walked away.

A figure emerged from the shadows.

It was Qin Huairu.

She watched the whole farce from beginning to end.

I heard every single word.

I also heard Sha Zhu say that Qin Huairu wasn't as pretty as Ding Qiunan.

She was filled with hatred.

She didn't think she was any less capable than Ding Qiunan.

She's just a bit older, after all, she's had three kids.

If only Qin Huairu were four or five years younger.

It's hard to say who looks better standing next to Ding Qiunan.

Qin Huairu is definitely the better one!

Qin Huairu was determined to hold this belief in her heart.

Besides hatred, she felt mostly schadenfreude.

Ding Qiunan has been entangled with Sha Zhu, hahaha!

Six

Someone asked Qin Huairu if she felt jealous when she saw Sha Zhu fawning over Ding Qiunan.

Are you kidding me!

Qin Huairu couldn't be happier if this were the case.

She was already fed up with Sha Zhu's constant pestering.

Now Sha Zhu has changed his target and is bothering other people.

She was overjoyed!

Sha Zhu used to call her goddess all the time.

He said Qin Huairu was the woman he loved most in his life.

He almost cried as he spoke.

But in Qin Huairu's view...

This is pure thuggery!

She felt so nauseous that she couldn't even eat.

Qin Huairu had long disliked Ding Qiunan.

She herself has no chance with Lu Zhenxing.

Why is Ding Qiunan allowed to be with Lu Zhenxing?

This is not fair.

Qin Huairu was so jealous she wanted to grind her teeth.

He dreams of breaking up Lu Zhenxing and Ding Qiunan every day.

Now Sha Zhu has his eye on Ding Qiunan and has started pestering her.

What happened just now was only the beginning.

Ding Qiunan was harassed by Sha Zhu for so long.

I knew all along how difficult this man was.

Ding Qiunan was tormented by Sha Zhu.

I can’t stand it anymore.

That silly Zhu has an even more amazing trick up his sleeve.

Ding Qiunan definitely can't handle it.

It might just collapse.

Qin Huairu was able to remain sober even after being pestered by Sha Zhu for so long.

I have to say, her mental fortitude is remarkable.

It's definitely tough.

But Ding Qiunan is different.

Qin Huairu began to fantasize.

Ding Qiunan was driven to a mental breakdown by Sha Zhu.

Her marriage to Lu Zhenxing was also not smooth.

The two argued every day and eventually divorced.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahahahaha!"

Then, in a great mood, he turned and left.

She was just waiting to see Ding Qiunan break down and divorce Lu Zhenxing.

On the other side, Ding Qiunan was indeed about to reach her limit.

Because Qin Huairu just left.

Another uninvited guest arrived at Old Lu's door.

This person is Xu Damao.

Xu Damao had long had his eye on Lu Zhenxing as his wife.

To be honest, from that day on...

The day Lu Zhenxing brought Ding Qiunan to visit the Hongxing Courtyard.

He took a liking to Ding Qiunan.

Because Ding Qiunan is just too beautiful.

Like a jasmine flower that has just bloomed in the early morning.

It's so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.

He's just like Sha Zhu; they both judge people by their looks.

Looks are everything!

But he's different from Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu's brain stops working when he sees a beautiful woman.

When Xu Damao saw a beautiful woman, his mind worked incredibly fast.

Xu Damao got ahead by using a set of tricks.

First, try every means to get close to the beautiful woman and win her over.

Once the novelty wears off, they'll kick the person aside.

He's a master of this tactic, more so than anyone else.

Now, he has set his sights on Ding Qiunan.

Who is Ding Qiunan? She is Lu Zhenxing's wife.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Zhenxing's fists were too hard, Xu Damao would have made a move long ago.

He was genuinely afraid, afraid that Lu Zhenxing would cripple him with a single punch.

Actually, Xu Damao wasn't intolerant of it.

Suppressing that burning anger isn't necessarily a bad thing.

But ever since Ding Qiunan married into the Hongxing Courtyard, he has seen her coming and going every day.

You can see it, but you can't touch it.

He felt like a fire was burning inside him, but he dared not touch it.

They could only watch helplessly.

This feeling is worse than being killed.

Xu Damao doesn't know how he got through those three days.

That feeling was like rolling around in hell, worse than death.

During this ordeal, Xu Damao completely changed.

He absolutely had to have Ding Qiunan!

I must get my hands on it!

Otherwise, Xu Damao would suffocate to death!

Finally, a golden opportunity came his way.

Lu Zhenxing went to work, leaving Ding Qiunan alone at the Lu family home.

Isn't this the perfect time for him to strike?

Xu Damao was so excited he almost jumped up.

He slapped his thigh and charged straight towards the Lu family's house.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock!"

Ding Qiunan opened the door.

Xu Damao immediately put on an honest and simple smile.

"Hey girl, are you Ding Qiunan, Lu Zhenxing's wife?"

"My name is Xu Damao, I live in this courtyard, we're neighbors. You can just call me Brother Xu."

"Then I'll call you Ding Meizi. Ding Meizi, is there anything I can help you with around the house? Like changing a light bulb or something."

He spoke while laughing in a harmless manner.

It's as if he's a genuinely kind-hearted older brother, showing concern for his neighbors.

Pretending to be something he's good at is Xu Damao's specialty.

He always uses this trick when he's trying to pick up girls.

Pretend to be an honest person and ask if they need help to keep them calm.

He only begins to act once people completely trust him.

With just a few words, he could make a girl completely infatuated.

He had used this trick countless times and had never failed.

Xu Damao's flirting skills are impeccable.

Xu Damao had another ulterior motive in wanting to win over Ding Qiunan.

That was Lu Zhenxing.

He himself has lost count of how many times he has been taken advantage of by Lu Zhenxing.

But I can't get revenge.

Xu Damao knew Ye Men's intentions perfectly.

With Lu Zhenxing's skills, if he dares to try anything funny, he'll definitely be in deep trouble.

Xu Damao was stunned when Ding Qiunan said those words.

He stood there dumbfounded, his mind buzzing.

It exploded with a loud bang.

Fighting Lu Zhenxing? He couldn't even withstand one punch from him; going up against him would be suicide. He had that much self-awareness.

Okay, since we can't beat them head-on, let's try a different approach. Xu Damao started to plan—he would start with Lu Zhenxing's women.

If he can win over Ding Qiunan and make Lu Zhenxing wear more hats, wouldn't that be much more satisfying than a fight?

When Lu Zhenxing discovers that his daughter-in-law has been stolen away, won't that proud man collapse? He might even jump into the river in a fit of rage.

Besides, the fact that Xu Damao was able to seduce Lu Zhenxing's woman proves that he is stronger than Lu Zhenxing. He may not be able to compete in terms of strength or intelligence, but when it comes to human skills, Xu Damao has never been impressed by anyone.

He could only dream of surpassing Lu Zhenxing in any other area of ​​his life. But at least in this one matter, he had to win. Otherwise, Xu Damao would be too pathetic, always being outdone by Lu Zhenxing in everything.

The more Xu Damao thought about it, the more excited he became. His gaze towards Ding Qiunan changed, becoming like that of a hungry wolf eyeing its prey.

Ding Qiunan had no idea what shady intentions this man was plotting. She genuinely thought Xu Damao was there to help, and waved her hand with a smile, "No need to trouble you, my husband has already changed the lightbulb."

She paused, then added, "My husband is Lu Zhenxing. We just got married three days ago. Master Xu, it's an honor to meet you."

Her voice was clear and crisp, her smile was pure and bright, and the way she stood there seemed to radiate an aura, making people think of the "angel" that others talked about.

Two words.

She wasn't unaware of Xu Damao's reputation. Back then, he and Liu Lan were caught having an affair in the screening room by Director Li and his men, and the whole steel mill knew about it.

What is Xu Damao's reputation in the industry now? Everyone calls him a beast.

Not only do I avoid him when I see him, but I also feel disgusted even when I mention his name.

Why would a perfectly normal person have to talk about such a beastly thing?

This is incredibly unlucky.

Everyone in the steel rolling mill knew about Xu Damao and Liu Lan's messy affair.

Ding Qiunan was also present at the time and saw everything clearly.

To be honest, it was Lu Zhenxing who arranged for Xu Damao and Liu Lan to be caught red-handed.

It was all to vent Ding Qiunan's anger that she deliberately set a trap for Xu Damao.

In Ding Qiunan's view, since Lu Zhenxing had already avenged her, the matter between her and Xu Damao could be considered closed.

There's no need to dwell on it anymore; what's past is past.

From now on, let's all go our separate ways and live in peace.

With this in mind, Ding Qiunan smiled and struck up a conversation with Xu Damao.

Lu Zhenxing had previously warned her to stay away from Xu Damao.

They say Xu Damao and Shazhu are the same kind of people, neither of them is a good person.

Ding Qiunan was aware of this.

She smiled and began to speak.

"Xu Damao, have you eaten yet?"

"Now that we all live in the same courtyard, let's get along well from now on."

"I don't like scheming all the time; I just want to live a peaceful and harmonious life."

"You should understand what I mean, Xu Damao?"

She meant to tell Xu Damao this.

I also hope that the other people in the courtyard can understand.

She and Lu Zhenxing wouldn't scheme against anyone, nor did they want to be schemed against.

Let's just live together quietly and happily like this.

Ding Qiunan really hoped that Xu Damao could understand what she meant.

She sighed inwardly.

Ugh.

She was utterly fed up with all that backstabbing and intrigue.

Why can't these people just live their lives peacefully?

It's bound to cause chaos and make everyone restless.

What are they after?

I just can't understand it.

Ding Qiunan may be soft-hearted, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.

She is actually very smart.

She was just too kind, so kind that people thought she was easy to bully.

In fact, she saw right through Xu Damao's little scheme.

This guy is trying to play the honest guy?

She was already tired of hearing about Xu Damao's scandalous affairs all over the world.

She knew exactly what kind of person Xu Damao was.

Moreover, Xu Damao's manner of speaking just now was so refined and overly polite.

It was as if they were meeting for the first time.

This wasn't the first time Ding Qiunan and Xu Damao had met.

This has happened several times before, and one of them was particularly ugly.

She caught Xu Damao talking badly about her behind her back.

Those words were so harsh that she burst into tears on the spot.

It was because of this that Zhenxing stood up for her.
