Chapter 419: Different Dreams Under the Same Bed

Hearing Auntie Yang's words, Yu Haitang's heart gave an involuntary "thump".

Xu Damao, however, has a criminal record.

She thought Auntie Yang's words had some credibility.

But.

In front of Qin Huairu and San Da Ma, she pretended not to believe and said:

"Y‑you, that's nonsense; how could that be possible?"

Auntie Yang: "If you don't believe, you can go ask my child's father."

"He also saw it."

Yu Haitang, hearing that, found it even more believable.

She snorted coldly, turned, and headed toward Houyuan.

San Da Ma glanced at her silhouette, poked Qin Huairu standing beside her with her hand, and whispered:

"Huairu, this is great."

"You go tell Xu Damao to leave the house to Haitang."

"If Xu Damao cleanses himself and moves out, wouldn't that be it?"

"Then later Haitang can sell the house to you all."

"If that doesn't work, I'll have my eldest daughter‑in‑law talk to Haitang."

Qin Huairu, hearing that, couldn't help but nod silently.

She thought for a moment and said, "Let's first see how things stand before deciding."

"Lately Haitang has been getting closer to me as well."

"She has always wanted to blend into all of us."

"I'll go take a look first."

Having said that, she headed toward Houyuan.

Walking, she pondered how to persuade Yu Haitang to let Xu Damao cleanse himself and move out.

If Xu Damao leaves the house to Yu Haitang, then she and Shazhu might be able to buy it.

Besides, Yu Haitang…

When she returned home, Xu Damao was packing a suitcase.

She furrowed her brows and walked over slowly.

Xu Damao looked up at her and said, "You're back."

"I was just about to leave you a note."

"I have to go on a long trip."

"It might take about a month."

Yu Haitang sneered and asked:

"Where are you going?"

Xu Damao: "Oh, nothing much, just business matters."

Yu Haitang: "I don't think so."

"I think you're going on a honeymoon, aren't you?"

Upon hearing that, Xu Damao frowned, looked up, gave Yu Haitang a cold stare, and said irritably:

"Don't be so cheeky."

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

Yu Haitang snorted coldly and said:

"I'm the one being crazy?"

"Xu Damao, don't think I don't know what you did out there."

Xu Damao interrupted, "No, what did I do?"

"I already said it was business matters."

"If I'm not on a business trip, are we just drinking Xibei wind?"

"Then tell me, who are you on a business trip with?"

Xu Damao was taken aback and said, "I'm not with anyone."

"I'm traveling alone, what's the problem?"

"No, why are you trusting me less and less?"

Yu Haitang: "If you want me to believe you, first you have to do something proper."

Xu Damao, angry, "How come I'm not doing proper things?"

Yu Haitang: "Whether you do proper deeds or not, everyone has a scale in their heart."

"Let me ask you, where were you yesterday afternoon?"

Xu Damao said lightly, "I was negotiating business."

Yu Haitang asked coldly, "Negotiating business at the furniture market?"

Hearing that, Xu Damao frowned again, then looked up at Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang continued, "Tell me, who was that woman?"

Upon hearing that, the emotions Xu Damao had been brewing erupted instantly.

He pointed at Yu Haitang, pretended to be angry, and said:

"No, why are you so suspicious?"

"Who are you hearing babbling nonsense from over there again?"

"I was really negotiating business yesterday afternoon; why would I go to a furniture market?"

He, of course, wouldn't admit it.

Even if he were caught in bed, he still wouldn't admit it.

At that moment, Qin Huairu's voice suddenly rang out:

"No one was babbling nonsense."

"You, after doing something despicable, just shift the blame onto others."

"You're a person with a criminal record."

Xu Damao looked at Qin Huairu and asked irritably:

"It's none of your business, the matter between me and Yu Haitang."

"Why does it seem like you're everywhere, Qin Huairu?"

"You really think you're a savior, don't you?"

"You meddle in every affair in the courtyard."

"I'm just asking you, what's the problem with me saying it?"

At this point, Xu Damao raised his hand, pointed at Qin Huairu, and shouted angrily:

"Qin Huairu, our family's affairs have nothing to do with you!"

Qin Huairu glanced at Yu Haitang, then turned to Xu Damao and said:

"I'm also here for Haitang."

"If Haitang says that her matter with you doesn't need my involvement, then I won't say another word and will leave immediately."

Yu Haitang: "Qin Jie, don't leave. I want you and Shazhu to arbitrate for me."

Hearing this, Xu Damao furrowed his brows even tighter.

He certainly isn't afraid of Qin Huairu, but he is afraid of Shazhu.

Qin Huairu looked at him and sneered:

"Did you hear that, Xu Damao?"

"The matter of Haitang, Shazhu and I have already decided."

"However, I'll give you some time first, to see how you handle it."

"But I'll put the ugly words first: if you dare do anything to Haitang, do you think I could forgive you?"

At this point, she looked at Yu Haitang and continued:

"Haitang, I'll stay right at the doorway."

"Don't be afraid."

"He wouldn't dare hit you."

Xu Damao gestured at her irritably and said:

"Go, go, go, don't think you're a savior."

Qin Huairu snorted coldly, turned, and walked out.

Xu Damao went to close the door while muttering curses:

"Don't think I don't know what kind of person you are."

"Only Shazhu and those few foolish old men would listen to your blather."

"Hmph, what meddling."

"What does it have to do with you?"

After shutting the door properly, Xu Damao thought for a moment and walked up to Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang pulled out a chair, sat down, and asked Xu Damao:

"Speak up, what do you want?"

Xu Damao also pulled out a chair, sat in front of Yu Haitang, crossed his legs, and said in a nonchalant manner:

"I don't want anything."

"That's it."

Yu Haitang frowned tightly and asked:

"Then tell me, what should we do about this?"

Xu Damao: "What can we do?"

"Just leave."

"Anyway, you prefer to trust outsiders rather than me."

"Then living like that is meaningless, right?"

"Enough talk, just leave."

"All these years, we've actually been sharing a bed but dreaming different dreams."

"We've always managed our own money separately."

"Pack your things and leave."

Yu Haitang sneered and said:

"What did you say?"

"I'm leaving?"

"On what grounds?"

"I think you're just dreaming, aren't you?"

"Now that you have a woman outside, you betrayed me, you betrayed the family."

"All the blame lies with you; it should be you who packs up and leaves."

Xu Damao: "Then what right do you have?"

He said this, pointed at the house, then continued:

"This is the ancestral house of our Xu family."

"No one, not even a horseman, can snatch it away."
