1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 366 You'd better be careful

"Nonsense? I saw all these things with my own eyes, and you still say it's nonsense!"

Li Dahu felt that Qin Huairu in front of him had become so unfamiliar. The woman who once held a special place in his heart now seemed like someone he didn't know at all.

Qin Huairu still stiffened her neck and argued with him with a righteous look, which made Li Dahu feel mixed emotions.

He frowned, his eyes full of confusion and pain: "How did you become like this? Back then..."

He suddenly stopped, and those past memories surged in his heart like a tide, but he swallowed the words back. He didn't want to mention the past again, but he really couldn't understand Qin Huairu's behavior now.

When Qin Huairu heard Li Dahu say that he saw it with his own eyes, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately widened her eyes and looked shocked: "Li Dahu, what on earth did you see?"

Her voice was a little weak, and she had a bad feeling.

Li Dahu took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down for a moment, and then slowly said: "That morning, I saw it with my own eyes. Xu Damao touched you in broad daylight, and not only did you not refuse, you also... and Yi Zhonghai, how could there be nothing going on between you!"

There was anger in his eyes, but also a hint of barely perceptible pain.

Speaking of which, Li Dahu was very good to Qin Huairu in the beginning, and that relationship took root deep in his heart. Even though so many years have passed and even though they both have families, seeing Qin Huairu like this now, his heart aches like it's being cut by a knife.

Qin Huairu seemed to be struck by a bolt from the blue. Her body shook violently, she staggered and almost fell.

Her face turned pale and her eyes were filled with fear and shame.

It felt like I was standing naked in front of everyone, being pointed at.

"You...how do you know everything..." Her voice was as weak as a candle in the wind, and her whole body was shaking.

Dahu felt uncomfortable when he saw Qin Huairu's appearance.

He paused, and his tone softened a little: "Yes, I don't want to know these things. I wanted to talk to you a long time ago, but I didn't dare to disturb your life. Who knows that now there are rumors in the factory and the hospital. For the sake of your children, you should pay attention!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly. He was afraid of being seen and afraid that the gossip would add to Qin Huairu's already difficult life, making it even worse.

However, the day did not fulfill everyone's wish.

While Li Dahu and Qin Huairu were talking, there was a man hiding stealthily not far away, seeing everything.

This person was none other than the famous playboy in the steel rolling mill - Deputy Director Li Huaide.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and his eyes flashed with a cunning light, as if he had discovered some new world.

He heard the conversation between the two clearly, and was already thinking about how to use this information to gain something for himself.

Qin Huairu was indeed very coquettish, and he was very jealous of her.

After Li Dahu's figure disappeared from Qin Huairu's sight, she seemed to have lost all support and her body trembled slightly.

Tears of regret fell from the corners of her eyes, slid down her cheeks, and dripped onto the dusty ground, leaving small marks, just like her broken heart at the moment.

Qin Huairu's mind kept flashing back to the past. She had longed for the life of a city dweller and cruelly abandoned Li Dahu.

"If I hadn't been so greedy, how could I have ended up in this situation?" She blamed herself painfully in her heart.

She knew that if she had chosen Li Dahu, she might have been happier than Chen Lanxiang and Lou Xiao'e.

They can have a warm little family and don't have to struggle to survive under the rumors and pressure of life every day like they do now.

But what's the point of saying this now? Everything is irreversible.

The disappointment in Li Dahu's eyes was like a sharp blade that hurt her deeply.

"He must be extremely disgusted with me." Qin Huairu thought, her heart full of bitterness.

However, was this what she wanted?

The hardships of life and the oppression from people around her led her step by step to where she is now.

"Wow..." She couldn't hold it in any longer and covered her mouth with her hands, crying bitterly. The suppressed cry echoed in this quiet corner, full of helplessness and sadness.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Huairu gradually stopped crying.

She knew that life had to go on and she still had children to raise.

She dragged her heavy feet to the pool, and the cold water splashed on her face, making her a little more sober.

Looking at her red and swollen eyes in the water, she took a deep breath, mustered up her courage again, and walked towards the cafeteria.

There was a lot of noise in the cafeteria.

As soon as Qin Huairu appeared, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly came up to her: "Huairu, why have you been gone for so long? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to give you half a day off to go home and rest?"

His eyes were full of concern and anxiety, and the workers around him saw it and exchanged meaningful glances with each other.

Qin Huairu forced a smile: "Master Yi, I'm fine, thank you for getting me food, here is today's meal ticket." As she said that, she handed the meal ticket to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai took the meal ticket and was startled at first, then he looked at the crowd around him. He finally understood that Qin Huairu's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried, and it must be because of the rumors in the factory.

He frowned, anger welling up in his heart, and immediately defended Qin Huairu and said loudly: "Huairu, have you heard any rumors? As your master, isn't it my duty to help you? If anyone is gossiping behind your back, let them come to me!"

He spoke with indignation, his eyes revealing an unquestionable majesty.

However, the people around him were not intimidated by his aura.

Everyone glanced to the side at the same time, and the meaning in their eyes was obvious. Everyone had deep doubts about the so-called master-disciple relationship between the two of them.

Someone muttered in a corner: "Humph, you speak so confidently, do you really think we can't see it?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard the whispered discussions, his expression became even uglier. He glared fiercely in that direction, but was unable to change everyone's minds.

Qin Huairu stood aside with her head down, feeling embarrassed. She knew that she had fallen into a whirlpool of public opinion from which it was difficult to escape.

In the classroom, sunlight shines through the mottled windows onto the desks, and chalk dust dances slightly in the air.

Teacher Zhang was standing in front of the blackboard. The chalk in his hand was squeaking on the blackboard. Lines of neat handwriting gradually appeared. That was what we were going to learn today.

The students were sitting quietly, some were listening attentively, and some were looking down and taking notes.

However, no one expected that while Teacher Zhang was writing, he suddenly felt dizzy and his vision went dark.

His body swayed and he tried to steady himself, but the dizziness overwhelmed him like a surging tide.

His steps became unsteady and he stumbled. He fell forward like a kite with a broken string and was about to hit the ground heavily.

"careful!"

At this critical moment, a figure rushed to the podium like an arrow.
