Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Two months later, Wang Hongtao was sitting in his office working.

“Tuk tuk tuk…”

"Come in!" Wang Hongtao said without even raising his head.

“Tuk tuk tuk…”

“Tuk tuk tuk…”

"Who is this? Why is he knocking on the door without making any sound?"

Wang Hongtao frowned and went to open the door, wanting to see who was making such a fuss.

"Lou Xiaoe???"

The moment Wang Hongtao opened the door, he was stunned. Then he pulled the woman outside in and hugged her tightly.

"Hongtao, I'm back. I finally see you again!"

Lou Xiao'e hugged the man tightly and refused to let go, even her voice was filled with tears.

Of course, it’s been more than ten years since we last saw each other, and it’s the best time of our lives. No one can remain calm.

"Come on, let's sit down and talk!"

"No, I want to hug you. You don't know how much I miss you!!!"

Wang Hongtao rubbed Lou Xiaoe's face and murmured, "I know, I know everything, I miss you too, can I carry you to the sofa?"

"I have a lot to say to you too!"

"Ok!"

……

During these ten years, the two of them kept exchanging letters and making many phone calls, but they had never met in person, which was really frustrating.

Wang Hongtao stroked Lou Xiaoe's head and said lovingly, "Why did you come back so suddenly? You didn't even tell me!"

"Hehe, I just wanted to give you a surprise!"

"Didn't you say before that the situation has improved? Since then I have been planning when I could come back to give you a surprise!" Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

"You are really my big surprise!" Wang Hongtao buried his head in the base of Lou Xiaoe's neck and sucked greedily.

"That's not all. I brought our child with me. He's staying in the hotel now. Are you looking forward to it?"

After saying that, Lou Xiao'e looked up at Wang Hongtao, waiting for the man's praise.

Lou Xiao'e gave birth to three children for Wang Hongtao in total. The eldest daughter was named Xiao Nuomi and Xu Nuo, but later changed her name to Wang Yinuo. The twins she gave birth to later also had the surname Wang, and were named Wang Xiaoyu and Wang Xiaoxuan respectively.

Wang Hongtao already knew all this.

Wang Hongtao pinched Lou Xiaoe's nose and narrowed his eyes in smile.

"expect!"

"But what I want most now is to take good care of our child's mother!"

"Silly girl, do you miss me?!"

Lou Xiao'e's eyes immediately became watery and full of passion, and she murmured, "How could I not think about it? I even think about it in my dreams! You don't know how I have been through all these years!"

"Sometimes I think about sneaking back to China and giving it a try, but I'm afraid if something goes wrong it will implicate you."

"Fortunately, I've made it through now!"

"Ezi?"

"Ok?"

"I miss you!"

……

Two full hours later, Lou Xiao'e finally walked out of the office with a rosy face. She went downstairs with Wang Hongtao, pursing her lips and smiling, with a look of great satisfaction.

Then the two of them came to the hotel in a Toyota Crown.

Wang Hongtao met his children in the guest room.

"Don't talk. Let me guess. You are Yinuo."

"You are Xiaoyu, you are Xiaoxuan, right?"

Although more than ten years had passed, Wang Hongtao still recognized Wang Yinuo at a glance.

The rest are easy to guess: the girl is Xiaoyu and the boy is Xiaoxuan.

Seeing that the children were still in a daze, Lou Xiaoe couldn't help but urge them: "Why are you still in a daze? Didn't you keep shouting that you wanted to see your daddy?"

"This is your daddy!"

The three children looked at each other, and then the oldest one, Wang Yinuo, spoke up: "Although I feel very familiar with him, but... he looks only a few years older than us..."

Lou Xiao'e explained awkwardly, "Well, I'm sorry, Hongtao, they..."

Wang Hongtao was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "It's okay, just be careful, just be careful!"

Then Wang Hongtao stepped forward and hooked his arm around Wang Xiaoxuan's shoulder, "Come on, you two older sisters, take a closer look to see if I am Xiaoxuan's father!"

Among the three children, Wang Yinuo is most like Lou Xiaoe, Wang Xiaoyu is a bit like both of them, but Wang Xiaoxuan is most similar to Wang Hongtao.

They are both tall and have straight noses, and have the same thick eyebrows and big eyes. They look even more alike when they smile.

Now the three of them had no more doubts and shouted together: "Dad!"

"Hey!"

Wang Hongtao hugged his three children one by one, then opened a small private room. The whole family sat down together, eating and talking about the past years.

Although Wang Hongtao and the Lou family had never met, they had always kept in touch, so Wang Hongtao knew all about the development of the Lou family over the years.

It would be more appropriate to say that they were big warlords rather than big businessmen.

If you don't have enough strength to protect yourself in such a chaotic place, wealth will become your shackles and bring you disaster.

With Lou Bancheng's means and the firearms provided by Wang Hongtao, the Lou family has also managed to maintain a solid foundation, relying on food and then extending to construction, textiles, people's livelihood, deep processing of fruits and seafood, etc., and integrating the resources of three countries, so development is naturally not slow.

"Do you plan to stay in China from now on or come back for a while before going back to the southwest?"

After chatting for a few sentences, Wang Hongtao asked the question that he was most concerned about.

Lou Xiao'e was the first to respond: "I definitely want to be with you! Even if it's not allowed in public, I'm willing to do it. We've been apart for so long, I don't want to leave you anymore!"

"Haha, even if you want to go back, I won't let you!" Wang Hongtao smiled cheerfully: "I'm asking how many children there are."

"It's okay, be bold and say whatever you think!"

Wang Yinuo: "I'm with my mom."

Wang Xiaoyu: “Me too.”

Only Wang Xiaoxuan hesitated, "Dad, Mom, I also want to stay in the country, but I want to study."

The children raised by Lou Xiao'e all inherited her kindness and were not able to adapt to the southwestern environment.

"Is it difficult to study? It's not just Xiaoxuan.

Xiaoyu, Yinuo, since you two have chosen to stay, you still have to study. I will arrange for someone to make up for your studies. You can go to school after you catch up with the progress."

Several children nodded in unison.

Wang Hongtao treats not only Lou Xiao'e's children, but also other children equally.

No matter what your future plans are, you must read well.

……

After leaving Wang Hongtao's place, Lou Xiao'e said that she wanted to go back to the courtyard to take a look. After all, so many years have passed and she would always miss it a little.

So Wang Hongtao accompanied them.

The concierge couldn't believe it at first. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly before he exclaimed in surprise:

"Lou...Lou Xiao'e???"

"Yes, Third Uncle, are you feeling well recently?"

"It's... it's okay..."

Looking at Lou Xiao'e, who was dressed in jewels and looked so wealthy, Yan Bugui seemed a little embarrassed.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lou Xiao'e continued walking inside.

Here she also met several familiar faces such as Jia Zhangshi, Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, etc., but their reactions were similar to Yan Bugui's. They only chatted for a few words before finding excuses to leave.

After all, it's stressful and uncomfortable.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and shook her head.

Just then, the door to the backyard opened and a middle-aged man holding a washbasin walked out.

"Bang!"

The washbasin fell to the floor.

"Ezi..."

Lou Xiao'e frowned, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Lou Xiao'e, you are not allowed to leave. Explain yourself clearly first! Why did you sneak away without saying a word and take Xiao Nuomi with you..."

Xu Damao chased after him and refused to give up.

Wang Hongtao stopped Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, please show some respect. Mr. Lou is a returned businessman who came to invest in Sijiu City. Don't make trouble!"

Lou Xiao'e's bodyguard behind her was also wearing a suit and sunglasses, and he opened his arms to stop Xu Damao.

Lou Xiao'e stopped and looked at Xu Damao with complicated eyes:

"It's been so many years, why are you still talking about this? We are no longer related."

"As soon as I left, you couldn't wait to draw a line between us and your family, and even brought people to raid our house."

"It's already good enough that I didn't come to settle the score with you!"

……

Seeing the burly bodyguard Xu Damao, his heart tightened:

"I….."

"It doesn't matter if you don't like me, but where is the promise? You have to let me see my daughter, right?"

Then Xu Damao looked behind Lou Xiao'e and quickly locked his eyes on Wang Yinuo, who looked 70% like Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e snorted coldly, "I raised my daughter by myself, what does it have to do with you? Do you think she will recognize you after what you did?"

Wang Yinuo also stood behind Lou Xiaoe skillfully, without any intention of acknowledging Xu Damao.

Xu Damao stood there for a long while, and finally he could only sigh helplessly.

He has been worn down by life now and has lost all his sharpness. How can he still have the confidence to argue with Lou Xiao'e?

After taking one last look at Wang Yinuo, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, I thought too much."

Then he picked up the basin, turned around and walked back home.

At this point, Lou Xiao'e no longer wanted to stay and left the courtyard with everyone.

The Mercedes-Benz drove towards the courtyard on Qianmen Street. Lou Xiaoe snuggled in Wang Hongtao's arms and asked, "What's going on with Xu Damao now? Why does he seem to be getting worse and worse?"

Wang Hongtao nodded. "At first, he was noticed by the leaders because of his merit in reporting your family, but he was short-sighted and was discovered by his superiors for embezzling property. He has been selling tickets in the cinema for a living these years."

Lou Xiao'e shook her head speechlessly: "My dad is good at judging people. He saw early on that he was short-sighted and would not achieve anything."

Wang Yinuo blinked and looked at Lou Xiaoe: "Mom, why did you marry such a man? I feel sorry for you!"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and let out a long breath, touching Wang Yinuo's head: "The environment back then was different from now, I can't explain it to you clearly in a short time."

"But if I hadn't married him, I wouldn't have met your father, and there wouldn't be you and Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan."

"Do you think so?"

The car drove towards Qianmen Street, where Qin Jingru, He Yushui and others were waiting.
