Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 200: A bottomless pit that you can't fill

Sha Zhu glared at him angrily, "You still have the heart to laugh at me? Aren't you the same? You are completely obedient to Lou Xiao'e."

Xu Damao's laughter stopped abruptly. He sighed and took a sip of wine.

"I'm different from you. Lou Xiao'e really loves me. Look at Qin Huairu. How sincere is she to you?"

Sha Zhu was silent. He was not a fool. He could see that Qin Huairu was using him more. But he just couldn't let go. He felt sorry for Qin Huairu and the three children.

"Silly Zhu, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. Qin Huairu is a bottomless pit that you can't fill."

Sha Zhu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I know, but I just..."

"What is it? It's just a cheap job!" Xu Damao interrupted him mercilessly, "Silly Zhu, let me tell you, women are all cruel and ruthless. Don't look at Qin Huairu's pitiful look towards you now. When she finds her next boyfriend, do you think she will still remember you?"

Sha Zhu felt annoyed by Xu Damao's words. He stood up suddenly, drank the remaining half bottle of wine, and then threw the bottle to the ground.

"Stop talking!"

Xu Damao was also startled by his sudden anger. He looked at Sha Zhu, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Sha Zhu, I know you like Qin Huairu, but have you ever thought about why you are giving so much to her? What do you want from her? Because she is beautiful? Because she is capable? Or because of her..."

"I think she's a good person!" Sha Zhu shouted with red eyes, "I think she's kind-hearted, I think she..."

Sha Zhu was suddenly stunned. He looked at Xu Damao, as if he suddenly understood something.

"What do I want from her?" Sha Zhu muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming confused, "What do I want from her..."

"Silly Zhu, wake up!" Xu Damao shook his shoulders vigorously, "Qin Huairu..."

"Stop talking!" Sha Zhu pushed Xu Damao away and staggered away, "Let me be quiet for a while, let me be quiet for a while..."

Xu Damao looked at Sha Zhu's receding back and sighed helplessly. He knew that for some things, no matter how much others said, it would be useless. He had to wait until he figured it out himself.

Sha Zhu walked aimlessly, Xu Damao's words echoing in his mind.

"What do you want from her? Because she's pretty? Because she's capable? Or because she..."

"I think she's a good person..."

"Wake up! Qin Huairu..."

Sha Zhu suddenly stopped, as if he had figured something out. He turned around abruptly and ran towards the courtyard.

He wanted to find Qin Huairu and ask her clearly. He wanted to know what he meant to Qin Huairu!

Sha Zhu stumbled back to the courtyard like a wounded beast. Anger and doubts rolled in his chest, and he couldn't wait for Qin Huairu to give him an explanation, an explanation that would allow him to continue to deceive himself.

Before he reached the door of his house, he saw the dim lights on in Jia's house. He rushed in and saw Qin Huairu sitting at the table, lowering her head and gently wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Huai Ru, you..." Sha Zhu was about to speak, but he saw a few empty plates on the table, obviously they had just finished their meal. A feeling of sadness surged in his heart, "You eat alone?"

Qin Huairu raised her head, her eyes red and a little aggrieved: "Shazhu, you're back? I, I thought you wouldn't be back tonight..."

"If I don't come back, you will eat alone? Have you ever thought about me and Banggeng and the others?" Shazhu pointed at the empty table, his voice trembling with anger.

"No, Sha Zhu, please listen to my explanation..." Qin Huairu stood up hurriedly and wanted to hold Sha Zhu's hand, but was pushed away.

"What to explain? What else is there to explain?" Sha Zhu roared, Xu Damao's words echoing in his ears, "Do you like her because she's pretty? Because she's capable? Or because she..."

"Shazhu, what's wrong with you?" Qin Huairu was frightened by his sudden anger and asked timidly.

"What's wrong with me? I just wanted to ask you something!" Sha Zhu pointed at his nose, "I've given my heart and soul to you and your family, and this is how you treat me?"

Qin Huairu bit her lip, her eyes getting redder: "Silly Zhu, I know you're good to me, I've always kept it in my heart, but..."

"But what? Tell me!" Sha Zhu pressed on. He wanted to hear the answer, but was afraid to hear it.

"But I can't marry you!" Qin Huairu finally burst into tears, "If I leave, what will happen to Banggeng and the others? I can't just abandon them!"

"So you feel at ease enjoying my efforts and treating me like a fool?" Sha Zhu sneered, "Qin Huairu, I'm telling you, I'm not your long-term meal ticket, so stop being so self-indulgent!"

"Silly Zhu, how can you say that to me? When did I ever think of you as a fool?" Qin Huairu burst into tears, "I, I just have nowhere else to go, I..."

"Desperate? You still have the nerve to say desperate?" Sha Zhu was furious. "If you were really desperate, you wouldn't dress up and go to work in the steel mill, you wouldn't..."

Sha Zhu's voice suddenly stopped. He suddenly remembered that Qin Huairu had indeed dressed up much more beautifully recently. Moreover, he also noticed that every time Qin Huairu went to work at the steel mill, she would deliberately pass by Deputy Director Li's office...

A terrible thought flashed through Sha Zhu's mind. He suddenly grabbed Qin Huairu's shoulders and asked with gritted teeth, "Tell me, are you having an affair with Deputy Director Li?"

Qin Huairu was startled by his sudden action, her face turned pale in an instant, her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look directly into Sha Zhu's eyes.

Seeing her like this, what else did Sha Zhu not understand? He just felt a surge of anger rushing to his head, and pushed Qin Huairu to the ground...

Qin Huairu was frightened by Sha Zhu's sudden action and collapsed to the ground. Her face was pale and her lips were trembling, but she couldn't speak for a long time. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. Sha Zhu's questioning was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart fiercely, leaving her nowhere to hide.

"I, I..." Qin Huairu opened her mouth, but only uttered a weak murmur.

Seeing her panic, Sha Zhu became even angrier. He grabbed Qin Huairu by the collar and yelled through gritted teeth, "Speak now! Are you mute?!"

"Silly Zhu, calm down and listen to my explanation..." Qin Huairu was frightened by his fierce eyes and trembled with fear. She reached out to push him away, but he grabbed her wrist.

"Explain? What else is there to explain?" Sha Zhu was so angry that he pulled her up from the ground. "I was so blind to believe a fickle woman like you!"
