Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 638 Revealing the truth

After that, He Lai stayed obediently in the exhibition hall of the Canton Fair, doing his job.

After Lu Zixuan bought a large number of antique jades from the Canton Fair, he also returned to Hong Kong.

As for Wu'er, she was very happy staying at Grandpa Zhou's house. Grandpa Zhou took her everywhere, and her carefree personality really pleased Grandpa Zhou.

Old Mrs. Zhou also likes the noisy Wu'er. She and Ke'er have completely different personalities. Ke'er is the well-behaved and obedient type, and sometimes a little playful. After all, she knows that it was Old Mrs. Zhou who took her in and was kind to her. Deep down in her heart, she would not allow her to do anything out of line.

But Wu'er is different. It's okay if she is allowed to behave well for a day or two, but after a long time, she will let herself go.

If I hadn't followed Mr. Zhou, I would have learned it well. I almost learned to drink.

After He Lai finished work that day, he went to Grandpa Zhou's house.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the voice of Mr. Zhou.

"Wu'er, pour some wine for grandpa!"

"it is good!"

He Lai was stunned. Why was the wine poured? He hurried into the house to take a look.

She found that Mr. Zhou was drinking with an old man, while Wu'er was standing on a chair, holding a bottle of wine in her hand, and leaning on the table to pour wine for Mr. Zhou.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi, you are here, come quickly, come quickly, let's have a drink together."

Mr. Zhou smiled.

"Grandpa Zhou, please take good care of Wu'er. Do you want my mother to beat me to death?"

He Lai sighed, picked Wu'er up from the table, and took the bottle of wine from her hand.

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he immediately felt embarrassed.

"Hey, I was just saying, what kind of child can cause such trouble to you, Old Zhou? Look, your little Laizi doesn't agree."

The old man next to him laughed. He Lai also had an impression of this old man. It seemed that his surname was Shi and he was a good friend of Mr. Zhou.

"Go away, you're the only one who talks too much." Old Master Zhou rolled his eyes at him.

"Grandpa Zhou, Grandpa Shi, you guys drink first. I'll take the little girl to sit next to Grandma Zhou."

After saying hello, He Lai sat on the sofa.

"Grandma Zhou, you don't care about Grandpa Zhou. If I didn't come, my sister would probably be ruined." He Lai complained.

"It's not as serious as you say. Ke'er used to pour wine for your Grandpa Zhou."

Old Mrs. Zhou smiled indifferently.

"Yes, come on, brother. I was the one who poured wine for grandpa and the others before."

Ke Er added on the side.

"Can you compare with Wu'er? Ke'er, you are so well behaved. You don't know that my biological sister has been naughty since she was a child. She was almost abandoned by my mother and beaten by her every day. Do you know how she came to Guangcheng?

She sneaked onto the train without telling me or my mother. If the train hadn't already started and she couldn't get off, I would have definitely sent her back."

He Lai explained.

"What, Wu'er, is what your elder brother said true?" Old Mrs. Zhou also exclaimed when she heard He Lai's description.

Ke'er also looked at Wu'er in surprise. She didn't expect Wu'er to be so brave.

"Who told my eldest brother to never take me with him every time he goes out? I want to go out and see Grandma Zhou and Sister Ke'er, but he won't let me."

Wu'er said with a pout.

"Come on, you know nothing... Granny Zhou, Sister Ke'er, you've only met them a few times."

He Lai was speechless.

"I know them now! I will live with Grandma Zhou and the others from now on. I won't go back. It's not cold here at all! I only need one piece of clothing, and there are many old men to play with me."

Wu'er stood on the sofa, her hands on her hips and said.

"See, my sister can fly to heaven if you give her some sunshine! Grandma Zhou, you must stop spoiling her."

He Lai smiled bitterly.

"Uh...Wu'er, be good, let's sit down and talk properly. Don't be disrespectful to your big brother."

Old Mrs. Zhou also realized that Wu'er was indeed a little too lively.

"Anyway, I want to be with Grandma Zhou. Grandma Zhou is so nice to me!"

Wu'er hid in Old Lady Zhou's arms and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, why don't you call mom and tell her you're not going home and will just stay here."

He Lai smiled.

"Just hit us."

"You..." He Lai was so angry that he couldn't speak. If Wu Juan knew about this, she would probably be heartbroken.

"Okay, Xiao Laizi, go drink with Grandpa Zhou and the others. I'll persuade Wu'er."

Old Mrs. Zhou interrupted.

He Lai didn't have any good solution, as Wu'er was currently immersed in the land of tenderness.

He came to the table, poured himself a glass of wine and started drinking.

"Xiao Laizi, look at you, it's really not a big deal. Can your Grandpa Zhou really bring your sister to ruin?"

Seeing He Lai's expression, Mr. Zhou was speechless.

"Don't mention it, Old Zhou. You might have ruined the child. Didn't you see that your son took his grandson away?"

Mr. Shi said with a smile.

"You're talking nonsense. That's the child's grandparents coming over. Zhou Nan is taking the child over to stay for a few days."

Mr. Zhou retorted.

"By the way, Grandpa Zhou, why don't I see Xiaojun? Where did he go?"

He Lai asked.

"He went to junior high school in the city, which is a bit far from home. He lived in the school dormitory and only came back on weekends."

Mr. Zhou explained.

"Oh, I see. How are Xiaojun's grades? They should be okay, right?"

He Lai asked. He knew very little about Ye Jun, but he knew that this kid was very hardworking.

"Not bad, he takes you as his role model! He just reads books every day and is almost a nerd."

Mr. Zhou smiled.

"Grandpa Shi, come, let me toast you!" He Lai felt that he was still a little rude, so he stood up, bent down, raised his glass and said to Grandpa Shi.

"Okay, I'll play with you. You're a promising kid. I've been with Old Man Zhou for a long time, and I've heard your name a lot."

Mr. Shi smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with He Lai's, and said.

"Thank you for your compliment, Grandpa Zhou. It is thanks to Grandpa Zhou's care that I am able to live so comfortably in Sijiu City."

He Lai finished his drink before speaking.

"Why should I be modest with him? He is just a retired old man with nothing to do now. He just comes to my place every day to drink for free. It's useless now."

Mr. Zhou smiled.

"I'm useless? Go out and ask around, ask the mayor of Guangcheng, the governor and vice governor of Guangdong Province, who among them dares not to give me face? I'll blast him with one shot!"

Mr. Shi put the wine glass heavily on the table and said angrily.

"Alright, alright, with your two moves, others may not know, but I do. Others just don't want to bother with you, but you take it seriously, ugh!"

Mr. Zhou taunted.

"Hey, old man Zhou, what are you so proud of? You've only stayed in the Forbidden City for a few years. People who don't know you would think you've become a high-ranking official. You're just lucky that you managed to stay here by pretending to be sick. Otherwise, with your education level, you'd dream on if you still wanted to stay in the Forbidden City."

Mr. Shi began to expose the shortcomings of others.

"Hahaha... He was also an official in Beijing. How can you compare to him? You are just a small army commander. You were fired after serving for a few years. What are you so proud of? You just picked up what others left. Why are you so arrogant?"

Mr. Zhou continued sarcastically.

……

The two of them kept exposing each other's secrets, and He Lai didn't know how to persuade them. He could only pour them wine. Luckily, this was tiger bone wine made by He Lai, so it wouldn't be a big deal if they drank a little more.
