Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

"Just ask around, don't ask directly. If Dongxu doesn't want to tell you, you'll end up making things worse."

The aunt was afraid that Yi Zhonghai's direct question would embarrass Jia Dongxu, so she reminded him.

"I know, you don't have to say it."

Yi Zhonghai has been a big boss for so many years, so he naturally understands the reason.

Ending the topic, seeing that Yi Zhonghai had no intention of picking up his chopsticks, the aunt asked:

"Are you still eating?"

"Forget it, I won't eat anymore. I have no appetite."

Yi Zhonghai had something on his mind, so how could he eat?

"If you don't want to eat, I'll clean up." The aunt said as she cleaned up the dishes.

Yi Zhonghai was feeling depressed, so he took out a cigarette and sat there smoking.

After a while, the aunt came back after washing the dishes, looked at the cigarette butts on the ground, frowned and advised: "You should smoke less."

"Hey, if he doesn't smoke at home all day, he will suffocate to death."

In fact, it’s not that Yi Zhonghai wants to stay at home. He has been trying to contact people in the courtyard during this period.

It was just that everyone's avoidance of him made him realize that it would not be easy for everyone to accept him in a short period of time.

After understanding everyone's attitude, Yi Zhonghai completely gave up and stopped going out to cause himself trouble. He just stayed at home from then on.

"Hey."

The aunt knew that Yi Zhonghai was upset, so she sighed and said nothing more.

The more I talk about this kind of thing, the more upset I feel.

The next day, Yi Zhonghai got up at dawn and observed the movements of the Jia family across the street from the window.

About half an hour later, Yi Zhonghai smoked a few cigarettes before waiting for Jia Dongxu to open the door and walk towards the pool in the yard with a towel.

Seeing Jia Dongxu go out, Yi Zhonghai hurried out of the room, opened the door and walked out.

"Dongxu, so early."

Yi Zhonghai came into the yard, stopped and greeted Jia Dongxu.

When Jia Dongxu heard the greeting, he cursed in his heart that it was bad luck that he could meet Yi Zhonghai so early in the morning.

I have tried my best to avoid Yi Zhonghai.

Jia Dongxu felt unlucky in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he explained: "I didn't sleep well last night, so I got up a little early today."

After explaining, Jia Dongxu asked curiously:

"Uncle, why did you get up so early today?"

"Hehe, my stomach feels uncomfortable, I'm going to the toilet."

Yi Zhonghai had already prepared his speech, and when Jia Dongxu asked, he immediately responded with a smile.

After replying, Yi Zhonghai pretended to ask casually:

"By the way, Dongxu, why haven't I seen Huairu these days?"

When Jia Dongxu saw Yi Zhonghai asking about Qin Huairu, he sneered in his heart.

The couple had already announced the news of Qin Huairu's return to the countryside, and he didn't believe that Yi Zhonghai hadn't heard about it.

Now he came to ask pretending to be confused. He didn't know what he was planning, which made him more alert.

Although he was alert, Jia Dongxu did not expose Yi Zhonghai's intention. He took out the information released to the public and fooled him:

"Uncle, you don't know. I thought you heard that Huairu brought Banggeng back to the countryside to visit my mother."

Yi Zhonghai certainly didn't believe Jia Dongxu's answer, but he had no evidence so he could only pretend to be confused.

"Oh, that's right."

"I said I haven't seen Huairu in the courtyard these days."

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be enlightened, and then pretended to care about Jia Dongxu:

"Dongxu, Huairu went back to the countryside. Why didn't you tell me? You don't have anyone to cook for you. You can come to Uncle's house to eat in the evening."

"No need to bother. I can just take care of it outside."

Jia Dongxu politely made excuses to decline, but he was complaining in his heart, he couldn't even hide, how could he dare to come to your house for dinner.

"Hey, it's not a big deal, it's just about an extra pair of chopsticks."

"Well, don't hang out after get off work today. Come to Uncle's house to eat tonight. I'll ask your aunt to make two more dishes, and we can have a drink together."

Yi Zhonghai continued speaking along the lines of Jia Dongxu's words and began to test the waters.

He didn't quite believe that Jia Dongxu had really been eating out these days.

"No need, uncle. I made an appointment with my coworkers yesterday. Let's go to the pub for a drink tonight."

In the past, if Jia Dongxu heard an old man invite him to dinner, he would definitely agree without hesitation.

He was so happy when someone invited him to dinner, but now he was trying to avoid it as much as possible.

"Well, since you guys have made an appointment, forget it. We can drink again when you are free."

Yi Zhonghai was polite for a moment and said nothing more. He already had the answer in his mind.

In the past, if we asked Jia Dongxu to come to our house for dinner, he would definitely agree immediately with a smile, but today, Jia Dongxu kept finding excuses to refuse.

This made him certain that Jia Dongxu and his wife were deliberately avoiding him.

"okay."

"When Huairu comes back, I'll ask her to cook a few dishes and treat you to a drink."

Jia Dongxu pretended to be confused and tried to fool Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai knew that Jia Dongxu was just being polite, but he still responded with a smile:

"Okay, I'll wait."

"Okay, Dongxu, I'm going to the bathroom."

After answering, Yi Zhonghai made an excuse to leave.

Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai's back as he left and sneered, "I thought you were testing me. If you really had to go to the toilet in a hurry, you wouldn't have time to ask questions."

Jia Dongxu was fully aware of the tentative meaning in Yi Zhonghai's words.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that I ran into Yi Zhonghai as soon as I went out.

But things are different now. In the past, when he asked Yi Zhonghai for help, he naturally had to listen to whatever Yi Zhonghai said.

Now he didn't have to ask Yi Zhonghai for help, so he had the confidence and didn't have any psychological burden to deal with Yi Zhonghai.

Just because Yi Zhonghai had taught him some skills before and kept some secrets, he was already giving Yi Zhonghai face by not breaking up with him directly.

Only after Yi Zhonghai's back completely disappeared did Jia Dongxu start to wash up.

Jia Dongxu had just finished washing up when Cai Quanwu opened the door and came out with toiletries.

"Uncle Cai."

When Cai Quanwu approached, Jia Dongxu greeted him.

"Dongxu, it's rare to see you these days." Cai Quanwu joked with a smile.

Facing Cai Quanwu's joke, Jia Dongxu knew what Cai Quanwu might have guessed, so he didn't hide anything and smiled bitterly:

"Uncle Cai, you think I am."

"That day, out of consideration for our former master-disciple relationship, I kindly asked for leave to go pick someone up, but I was almost criticized for it that night."

"I'm really scared. I can't afford to offend him, but I can afford to hide from him."

Cai Quanwu was very surprised. He didn't expect that just because of his casual joke, Jia Dongxu would confront him directly and tell him what was really on his mind.

"You dare to say anything." Cai Quanwu looked at Jia Dongxu and teased with a smile.

"I can't hide it from anyone except you." Jia Dongxu praised Cai Quanwu with a smile.

Jia Dongxu is truly afraid of Tsai.

Ever since Cai Quanwu came to the hospital, Jia Dongxu found that no one could take advantage of him. Even Yi Zhonghai, the big boss, fell into his hands.

Moreover, Jia Dongxu discovered that Cai Quanwu was particularly good at judging people, as if no one had any secrets in front of him.

Take the matter of Yi Zhonghai teaching him technology. He had been with Yi Zhonghai for so many years, but he didn't realize that Yi Zhonghai had a trick up his sleeve.

Cai Quanwu seems to be able to see through everything at a glance through analysis.

When Cai Quanwu pointed this out, Jia Dongxu didn't quite believe it.

Ever since Yi Zhonghai went in and changed his master, he finally truly believed that Yi Zhonghai had really kept a trick up his sleeve when he taught him.

Looking back on it now, it’s really incredible.

As for his mother, there is no need to mention her. She is under Cai Quanwu's control.

"Okay, stop complimenting me."

"But this is not a long-term solution."
