Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

"I promise you that's it!"

"Are you sure you won't regret it? Are you really planning to marry me? And will you treat my child as your own?"

Xu Damao thinks this way, at least for now, as long as he can get Ran Qiuye.

Xu Damao felt it was worth it, and the news that Ran Qiu was also pregnant had not yet spread within the steel rolling mill.

If she marries Xu Damao immediately, everyone will assume that the child is Xu Damao's.

If it weren't for Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao would already be the envy of everyone in the city for being able to marry Ran Qiuye, since Ran Qiuye is now considered a beauty in the city.

If it weren't for the fact that Lou Xiao'e's family was well-off and could provide Xu Damao with some assistance, Xu Damao would have actually been pursuing Ran Qiuye.

Now Xu Damao's chance has finally come. Ran Qiuye's words mean that Xu Damao still has a chance.

"Yes, that's for sure, what else is there to say?"

In truth, Ran Qiuye didn't trust Xu Damao that much, but now Ran Qiuye had no other choice. She couldn't marry Li Chaoyang, so for Ran Qiuye, it didn't matter who she married.

"Since you've put it that way, let's get the cultural center to issue a certificate tomorrow, and you can also get the steel mill to issue a certificate, then we can get married right away."

"And the wedding must be a grand affair, with no detail omitted. The ceremony must be held in a traditional courtyard house. We'll arrange it according to Li Chaoyang's standards. I wonder if you can meet that requirement?"

"If you need anything, just tell me, and I'm willing to help out!"

Xu Damao never expected that Ran Qiuye would be in such a hurry. Actually, Xu Damao thought it was a good thing, as this matter could be considered settled.

"You really think so? Actually, I think so too!"

"I'm more than capable of doing this. I've been showing movies in the steel mill for years, I have money to spare, don't worry!"

“We’re on the same page. This wedding has to be a grand affair. I want it to be even more spectacular than Li Chaoyang’s. That night, I’ll show a movie in the courtyard and invite all our neighbors.”

Ran Qiuye was deeply moved by Xu Damao's concern. Even though the matter was settled, for some reason, Ran Qiuye felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"It's settled then. I'll send the betrothal gifts to your family tomorrow, and I'll provide all the required items."

"I've already spread the word. I'm going to invite the entire steel rolling mill to a drinking party."

Ran Qiuye was not happy at all. After speaking, she went back into the courtyard. Ran Qiuye's parents kept nagging her.

"Who was that man? Is he the one who got you pregnant? Why didn't you let him in just now?"

"When are you getting married? Do you now realize how much pressure your father and I have been under?"

Ran Qiuye had never known how to explain this matter, but she had just made an agreement with Xu Damao that they would hold a wedding, and now she finally knew how to explain it.

"Yes, please stop asking. He is the father of the child in my belly!"

"Once the certificate comes out tomorrow, we'll get married right away and have the wedding banquet tomorrow. He'll send over the betrothal gifts in the morning; his family is well-off."

"So you won't miss any of the eight items of the betrothal gift, so don't worry. I'm a little tired, I'm going back to my room to rest." Xu Damao was overjoyed after getting Ran Qiuye's consent. Although it was still tomorrow's matter, Xu Damao couldn't wait to tell the people in the courtyard about it as soon as he got back.

It wasn't to tell anyone else the news; it was just to annoy Li Chaoyang. He wanted Li Chaoyang to know and see how he would feel.

Xu Damao loudly announced the news from house to house.

"Dear elders of the courtyard, I, Xu Damao, have some good news to share today!"

Although Xu Damao said there was good news, based on what he knew, Xu Damao didn't have much influence in the courtyard.

I don't think Xu Damao has anything good going on, that he would make such a big fuss about it.

So even though they heard Xu Damao's words, no one came out. Li Chaoyang and Lou Xiao'e just sat inside watching TV.

"What is Xu Damao up to now? What good could he possibly be up to? If he were up to something, would he be thinking of us?"

"You may be new to the courtyard house, but I didn't expect you to know him so well."

Lou Xiao'e had learned about Xu Damao from her father before, because Xu Damao had once shown movies at the factory where Lou Xiao'e's father worked.

Lou's father saw what a two-faced person Xu Damao was, and he told Lou Xiao'e about it when he got back.

A casual remark unexpectedly stuck in Lou Xiao'e's mind.

Xu Damao felt very embarrassed, not expecting that no one would come out.

This was completely different from what Xu Damao had imagined. He thought that after he finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard would rush out, and he would announce the news in a grand and glorious manner.

However, even though he didn't see anyone come out, it didn't stop Xu Damao from sending out the message.

"If you don't want to come out, then don't. I know you can hear me even if you're sitting inside!"

"Yes, tomorrow is a very important moment for me, Xu Damao."

"Because tomorrow is my wedding day, Xu Damao, and I will be marrying Ran Qiuye, the most beautiful woman in our city."

"Don't worry, everyone. I, Xu Damao, am not a stingy person."

"Tomorrow is such a joyous day, let's have a good celebration in the courtyard. I'll host a large banquet with several tables, and everyone is welcome to attend."

Even though her relationship with Xu Damao wasn't particularly good, Xu Damao's marriage was, after all, the biggest event in his life, and since they were living in a courtyard house, she still had to attend.

Moreover, when Li Chaoyang got married before, everyone in the courtyard also attended.

Just moments ago, Li Chaoyang was smugly eating sunflower seeds while watching TV, with his other arm around Lou Xiao'e; the scene was truly heartwarming.

However, after hearing this news, Li Chaoyang was completely unsettled.

Chapter 264 Is it true love, or just a matter of pride? [Please subscribe]

Li Chaoyang threw the sunflower seeds directly into the basket, his face filled with shock.

The news came too suddenly, and Lou Xiao'e was also caught off guard. She looked at Li Chaoyang with great fear.

"This Xu Damao, he actually wants to marry Ran Qiuye."

"He clearly knew Ran Qiuye was pregnant with your child. Was he doing this on purpose? What exactly is he trying to do?"

Li Chaoyang is also very curious and thinks the same way. If others did this, it would be fine, since he doesn't know about Ran Qiuye and Li Chaoyang's relationship.

But Xu Damao knew about it and had actually done such a thing. Li Chaoyang couldn't let Ran Qiuye be hurt again.

Li Chaoyang was about to leave when Lou Xiao'e tried to stop him.

"Where are you going? Nobody in the courtyard knows about this yet."

"If you go out like this, the whole courtyard will know, and that won't be fair to Ran Qiuye in the future!"

In fact, Lou Xiao'e was also afraid of looking bad. Although he heard Lou Xiao'e say that, he couldn't stop Li Chaoyang.

Lou Xiao'e was extremely worried and didn't know what to do. Her face was flushed red and her whole body felt hot.

　(abfi) Once people find out about this, they will probably all laugh at Lou Xiao'e.

Li Chaoyang naturally knew he had to be tactful; he couldn't just say it like that, as it would be bad for both Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye.

However, if any woman Li Chaoyang had been with wanted to harm Ran Qiuye and use her to take revenge on Li Chaoyang, Li Chaoyang would absolutely not allow it.

On the surface, everyone in the courtyard was happy for Xu Damao. After hearing these words, they all gave Xu Damao some blessings and then turned around and went back into their houses.

Li Chaoyang had already arrived in front of Xu Damao, who seemed to have already guessed it and was not surprised at all.

When Xu Damao saw Li Chaoyang standing in front of him, he was actually a little excited and proud.

"Isn't this a famous singer? You'll have to give her the honor of attending, and it would be even better if she could sing a song."

Xu Damao knew perfectly well that Li Chaoyang would be angry, so he said those words on purpose.

Xu Damao really hadn't seen Li Chaoyang angry before, and now he still dared to provoke Li Chaoyang. Seeing Xu Damao's expression, Li Chaoyang's expression became very serious.

Stop grinning like that!

"I'm asking you now, who gave you permission to marry Ran Qiuye? You knew perfectly well that she was carrying my child, what was your purpose in marrying her?"

Li Chaoyang had no choice but to marry Ran Qiuye, but he couldn't just stand by and watch her get hurt. He couldn't do that. He had to find out the truth. He couldn't let Ran Qiuye suffer a second time.

Xu Damao had been hoping that Li Chaoyang would come and ask, and now that he had finally gotten his wish, a cold smile appeared on Xu Damao's face.

"What's your relationship with Ran Qiuye? Why should I answer you?"

"Of course I was attracted to Ran Qiuye's beauty; she's the most beautiful girl in our city."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? I love Ran Qiuye."

“I can accept everything about him.”

In Li Chaoyang's mind, Xu Damao is a complete scumbag who will have a tendency to commit domestic violence in the future.

Li Chaoyang didn't want to see Ran Qiuye fall into a pit of fire, so he wanted to stop Xu Damao right there.

"Are you talking nonsense?"

"You'll fall in love with Ran Qiuye? You might be able to fool Ran Qiuye, but it's completely unbelievable that you're trying to fool me. Do you think I can't see through your little tricks?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you're going to Ran Qiuye to get revenge on me and embarrass me, right?"

"I can play with you. You can do whatever you want. I, Li Chaoyang, will play along to the end."

"But if you involve women, then it loses its appeal!"

Xu Damao didn't care about so much; he only cared about whether he could achieve his goal. Xu Damao had already thought this through clearly and couldn't make any changes. Now, hearing Li Chaoyang's words, Xu Damao was still very pleased with himself.
