Chapter 160

"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to come up with a good solution."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned on the spot.

Sha Zhu was just feeding him empty promises.

It was clear this kid didn't want to take care of him anymore!

"I'll wait for your good solution!"

Yi Zhonghai left in a huff.

He couldn't use force now, or Sha Zhu would run off with Ding Qiunan.

He would just have to think of another way.

101. Sha Zhu Gets Mobbed! Lovers or Star-Crossed Couple?

After Yi Zhonghai left, Ding Qiunan also stood up: "Sha Zhu, you should think about it carefully."

"I don't want our home to be filled with such foul air after we get married."

After saying this, Ding Qiunan left.

Sha Zhu hurriedly chased after her.

Soon, the whole courtyard knew about this.

"Sha Zhu's blind date is definitely going to fail again."

"Ding Qiunan said that if she marries Sha Zhu, she won't provide for Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady in their old age, and she wants back all the things and money given to Qin Huairu."

"Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady certainly won't agree! Qin Huairu will cry her eyes out!"

Lu Jianye heard about it too.

Not long after, Sha Zhu came over.

"Lu Jianye, I know you're a smart kid, give me some advice."

"What should I do about this?"

Ding Qiunan and Yi Zhonghai could be said to be like fire and water.

Sha Zhu racked his brains but couldn't think of a solution.

He felt that Lu Jianye must have a way.

Lu Jianye:...

You want me to give you advice.

Well then, I won't... be polite.

"Sha Zhu, you're several years older than me and managed to become the head chef at the Rolling Mill, so you're definitely not stupid."

"But if you can't even figure this out, haven't you lived in vain?"

Sha Zhu wasn't actually a fool.

It was just that he was too lazy to think.

And with so many "kind-hearted" people "looking after" him every day, he had slowly abandoned his own brain.

Sha Zhu didn't understand: "What have you figured out, kid? Tell me."

Lu Jianye: "Do you really think Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady treat you like family?"

"A young girl who just met you a few days ago knows they are just using you, yet you don't know it yourself?"

Sha Zhu was displeased: "Lu Jianye, why are you talking like that too?"

"That year after my dad ran off with the White Widow, if First Uncle and the Deaf Old Lady hadn't taken care of us siblings, we would have starved to death long ago."

"This is a life-saving grace, how could I forget it?"

"Besides, we are all neighbors in the same courtyard..."

Lu Jianye immediately interrupted Sha Zhu: "Stop, stop, stop, I don't want to hear that."

"If the Deaf Old Lady really treated you like her own grandson, why didn't she introduce you to a girl and let you get married early when you were still young?"

"If First Uncle really treated you like family, why wouldn't he agree to you dating Ding Qiunan?"

"And Qin Huairu, if she doesn't treat you like a meal ticket, what else does she treat you as?"

Sha Zhu couldn't answer at all.

He had never thought about these things, let alone doubted these people.

"Alright, alright, you can go back and think about it carefully."

"If you stay at my place any longer, Yi Zhonghai will be bad-mouthing me all day tomorrow."

Lu Jianye pushed Sha Zhu out the door.

The more he did this, the more Sha Zhu doubted.

Could it be that what everyone said was true, and his thoughts for all these years had been wrong?

Then his worldview was truly shattered.

Lu Jianye understood that Sha Zhu had been brainwashed for so many years; he couldn't be awakened overnight.

It would take a huge shock.

No rush, no rush.

In any case, Lu Jianye wouldn't let those old beasts have a comfortable retirement!

The next day at work.

Sha Zhu was completely wilted.

He couldn't figure out what to do.

During the day, he tried to talk to Lu Jianye several times, but Lu Jianye ignored him.

This made Sha Zhu even more anxious.

When it was time to get off work at the Rolling Mill, Sha Zhu left in a hurry; he was going to find Ding Qiunan.

Halfway there, Xu Damao suddenly appeared: "Sha Zhu, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Sha Zhu saw Xu Damao and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

One day Ding Qiunan had told him that Xu Damao still wanted to hit on her and didn't want them to date.

Now that this kid suddenly appeared, it definitely wasn't for anything good.

"Get lost, do I have to report to you, my grandson, where I, your grandfather, am going?"

Sha Zhu pushed Xu Damao aside and started to leave.

Xu Damao stepped aside, and several people appeared behind him.

The leader was none other than Cui Dake.

"You are the little cook Sha Zhu from the Red Star Rolling Mill?"

"You're involved with a widow and are planning to provide for three old fossils, and you think you're worthy of pursuing Ding Qiunan?"

Cui Dake already knew Sha Zhu's situation very well.

He was trying to be reasonable now, intending to persuade Sha Zhu to back off.

Sha Zhu was naturally unconvinced: "Who are you? My business is none of your concern!"

Xu Damao immediately introduced Cui Dake like a lapdog: "Sha Zhu, look closely, this is Cui Dake, the head chef of the Fifth Rolling Mill."

"He and Ding Qiunan are childhood sweethearts, a match made in heaven!"

Cui Dake wasn't a head chef yet, but he was very satisfied with Xu Damao's flattery.

"Sha Zhu, you've been involved in illicit affairs with a divorced woman, acted like a hooligan, and have even been to the police station."

"Ding Qiunan comes from a respectable family; they wouldn't look twice at someone like you."

"If you're smart, you'll hurry up and..."

As soon as Cui Dake said this, Sha Zhu lost his temper.

He swung his fist and smashed it right into Cui Dake's face.

"Screw your head chef nonsense, you think you're better than me?"

"If I'm not good enough, you think you are?"

Sha Zhu was self-righteous; the "God of War" of the Sihe Academy didn't take the Cui Dake in front of him seriously at all.

Cui Dake had never been beaten by anyone before.

This rival in love dared to hit him; he was simply tired of living.
