Chapter 111: A wonderful misunderstanding, saving Chen Xueru
"Not afraid! I believe in these eyes of mine; I won't misjudge a person," Chen Xueru said firmly.
Chen Xueru considered herself not to misjudge people, or to be precise, not to misjudge men.
Chen Xueru saw that although there were some flames in He Yuzhu's eyes, there was more appreciation and calmness. He Yuzhu was looking at Chen Xueru openly and honestly.
There was no help for it; Chen Xueru was too beautiful. No matter where she went, she was destined to be the focus, not to mention the Small Tavern full of big men. How could Chen Xueru not understand what was hidden in the eyes of those big men?
It was just that Chen Xueru didn't take it to heart.
He Yuzhu, on the other hand, was speechless, "You say you won't misjudge a person, but your ex and your current one aren't good things. You've misjudged them all."
"Alright, thanks to your trust, tell me, how much do you want?" He Yuzhu said.
"Five jin of pork?" Chen Xueru thought for a while and said cautiously.
It wasn't Chen Xueru's fault for being so cautious; it was really because materials were extremely scarce now.
"Can do, no problem. Come here tomorrow at this time," He Yuzhu said.
"Many thanks! Deputy Director He, don't worry, the money that should be given won't be less. This cup, I toast you," Chen Xueru said excitedly, then picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
He Yuzhu also picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Once the wine was in their stomachs, after a few rounds, the two were considered familiar.
Xu Huizhen watched the two from afar. Seeing Chen Xueru's beaming face, she knew that the matter Chen Xueru requested had succeeded. Xu Huizhen couldn't help but have her heart stir: "It seems this Deputy Director He really has his ways. Just don't know if I can also be like Chen Xueru?"
Xu Huizhen decided to wait and see for a while. Xu Huizhen wasn't like Chen Xueru. Chen Xueru's current boyfriend, Fan Jinyou, although not a leader, also worked at the Street Office. If Chen Xueru really got into trouble, Fan Jinyou could still maneuver a bit.
"If I get into trouble, I have no one to rely on," Xu Huizhen thought secretly.
Xu Huizhen had opened the tavern for so many years and had also experienced ups and downs, seeing through the world very clearly. Since she didn't have this condition, she naturally didn't dare to take risks.
"Deputy Director He, why do you look at me with such eyes?" Chen Xueru found that He Yuzhu always looked at her with an inexplicable look, which made her feel uncomfortable, so she simply asked.
"Call me He Yuzhu or call me Silly Zhu. What I want to say is that this outfit of yours is a bit eye-catching," He Yuzhu said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru frowned, thinking He Yuzhu was like those stubborn old people, and couldn't help but lower her impression of He Yuzhu quite a bit.
"Looking at Ms. Chen's dress and speech, I think you must also come from a wealthy family. Let me tell you a story, hoping it can be a reference for you."
"Nine years ago, at the first Literary Congress in Modu, a lady was invited to attend this congress. When this lady attended the congress, she found herself in an ocean of blue and gray suits. Wearing a cheongsam and a white velvet light shirt, she became an alien."
"At this time, another lady whispered and accused her of being so bold, not being the same as everyone else."
"After the meeting, the person in charge of this congress found this lady and strongly ordered her to be the same as everyone else, saying that she would look just as good in a suit, and then..." He Yuzhu said meaningfully.
"And then what happened?" Chen Xueru asked impatiently.
"This lady's name was Zhang Ailing, and the lady who accused her was called Ding Ling," He Yuzhu said.
Chen Xueru's eyes widened instantly. Chen Xueru could open a cheongsam shop, so she naturally wasn't a simple person. She had vaguely heard of the names Zhang Ailing and Ding Ling.
"So that's how it is! Many thanks!" Chen Xueru said solemnly.
Even those two couldn't hold out—one went far away to foreign lands, and the other didn't know which corner she was staying in. Chen Xueru considered herself even less able to hold out.
"Didn't your partner remind you? It's one thing if others like Pian'er Ye who walk the rivers and lakes don't understand these things, but as a member of the organization, how could he not understand these things?" He Yuzhu asked calmly.
During their previous chat, both sides had briefly stated their situations. He Yuzhu then knew that after Chen Xueru divorced Liao Yucheng, because Fan Jinyou's mother didn't agree, she hadn't married Fan Jinyou yet.
Chen Xueru's brows were tightly knit. Chen Xueru also hadn't expected that for such a life-and-death matter, Fan Jinyou hadn't reminded her, but instead, a stranger she had only met once had reminded her.
Chen Xueru currently only defined He Yuzhu as a stranger she had met once.
Chen Xueru suddenly began to waver inexplicably, fearing that her feelings had been misplaced again.
Chen Xueru picked up a cup of wine but didn't drink it for a long time. Her head began to recall the things that had happened over the years. Chen Xueru considered herself to have done enough. To marry Fan Jinyou, she lowered her status to please his mother in every way, but Fan Jinyou's mother never loosened her mouth, and, very obviously, looked down on her.
The more Chen Xueru thought about it, the more depressed she became, and couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and drink it in one gulp. Her mood was slightly lost. Once a person is lost, they begin to be a bit greedy for the cup.
Not long after, Chen Xueru was drunk. Of course, Chen Xueru also ate quite a bit, eating more than half of the chicken.
Having not seen meat for a long time, as long as there is a condition, people will instinctively eat.
"Ms. Chen, don't drink anymore. If you drink more, you'll have too much. I'll send you home," He Yuzhu took the wine pot over, drank the wine in the pot in one gulp, and said.
"Lao Cai, Xueru has drunk a bit too much. You stop cleaning up for now, send Xueru home first," Xu Huizhen suddenly shouted loudly.
Obviously, Xu Huizhen didn't quite trust He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu also expressed understanding. After all, they had just met, so it was normal for Xu Huizhen not to trust him, not to mention sending such a beautiful woman like Chen Xueru back.
Cai Quanwu also stopped cleaning up and sent Chen Xueru home with He Yuzhu.
Chen Xueru was only drunk because of her bad mood; she was far from being dead drunk. Walking was no problem, her thinking was very clear, and her mind was very sober.
People are like this; they are especially good at brain-supplementing and random thinking. Once they drink, they brain-supplement even more and think even more randomly. At this time, Chen Xueru was clearly full of worries, and her face was full of sorrow.
Not long after the three left the tavern, just as they passed an alley, a group of masked big men suddenly rushed out, blocked the three, and presented a semicircle, surrounding He Yuzhu and the others.
He Yuzhu immediately stood out, blocking in front of Cai Quanwu and Chen Xueru.
"A cloud in the northwest mysterious sky, crows fall in the phoenix group, the whole field is full of heroes, who is the monarch and who is the minister," He Yuzhu said while pretending to speak "black talk," while carefully observing this group of people in front of him.
"Can't be wrong, they are coming for me," He Yuzhu thought to himself, because He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao in the crowd. With that look of Xu Damao, let alone Xu Damao wearing a mask, even if Xu Damao were burned to ashes, He Yuzhu would recognize him. At this time, Xu Damao was staring at Chen Xueru with glowing eyes. Xu Damao had originally thought about ambushing He Yuzhu, but he hadn't expected there to be a great beauty. This was simply an unexpected joy. As for Cai Quanwu, he was magnificently ignored by Xu Damao, even though Cai Quanwu looked very much like He Daqing.
It was just that thinking didn't affect Xu Damao looking at Chen Xueru. Xu Damao couldn't wait to sleep in the same bed as Chen Xueru in his heart, but Xu Damao disdained using this method.
For Xu Damao, using this method didn't have any technical content. To take the other party down with his own true ability was what met Xu Damao's heart.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Damao had already thought of many methods, such as beating He Yuzhu and leaving quietly, and then coming back to perform a "hero saves beauty" or something. Anyway, the lights were dim now, and they weren't "fiery eyes and golden pupils," so they couldn't see any flaws at all.
"Hey, this big girl is not bad. It's simple to let us brothers let you go. Just let this big girl stay and accompany us brothers to have fun," Xu Damao hid in the crowd and said, pinching his throat.
Chen Xueru's face changed color immediately!
If she fell into the hands of these people, she would probably be worse off than dead. Even if she lived, her reputation would be ruined. With Fan Jinyou's character and his mother's character, they definitely wouldn't let her enter the door of the Fan family.
"Pah! When did I become so degenerate that I have to lick my face and go to someone else's door?" Chen Xueru thought to herself.
"Little He, I'll block them first. You run quickly and go to the police station to report the case!" Cai Quanwu said, enduring the fear in his heart.
"No need! Since they don't follow the rules, don't blame me for not following the rules either," He Yuzhu sneered, deciding to give Xu Damao a profound and unforgettable lesson.
Seeing He Yuzhu surrounded by so many people and still boasting boastfully, Xu Damao was furious.
"Up!" Xu Damao roared, and nine big men immediately rushed up, directly dealing a death blow to He Yuzhu.
Chen Xueru didn't know at all that these people were coming for He Yuzhu, thinking these people came out to rob and, seeing her beauty, couldn't help but have bad intentions.
Now, seeing these people rush up, Chen Xueru was scared silly, instinctively trembling.
Cai Quanwu was also scared silly, staying in place without moving.
At this time, He Yuzhu moved.
He Yuzhu pushed Cai Quanwu, pushing Cai Quanwu to the side first, then grabbed Chen Xueru's small hand, protected Chen Xueru behind him, and then, He Yuzhu faced the nine people rushing up, grinned, and started to move.
To be precise, he moved his feet.
A "Liaoyin Leg" kicked out, and the leading big man immediately fell to the ground, clutching his crotch, and then curled up his body and wailed miserably.
Immediately, a very strange phenomenon appeared at the scene: no matter how this group of masked big men attacked, they couldn't touch He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru behind He Yuzhu;
And every time He Yuzhu kicked out, a big man would fall to the ground. No matter how these big men dodged, they couldn't dodge this kick.
Seeing this, Xu Damao was sweating coldly all over.
Xu Damao knew He Yuzhu was very strong, but he hadn't expected He Yuzhu to be this strong. He had spent a full one hundred yuan to invite famous people from the black road to ambush He Yuzhu. He had thought he could easily deal with He Yuzhu like cutting melons and vegetables, letting He Yuzhu experience why the flowers were so red.
He hadn't expected that the one being cut like melons and vegetables was his own side. In the blink of an eye, six big men had already fallen to the ground and wailed.
Xu Damao couldn't care about anything else and turned around and ran.
He Yuzhu acted as if he didn't see it and knocked these people in front of him to the ground with "Liaoyin Leg" in two or three moves.
At this time, no one noticed that the shoe on He Yuzhu's left foot had disappeared. He Yuzhu stepped on the ground with his bare foot. At the same time, a pit appeared in front of Xu Damao.
Xu Damao, anxious to escape, didn't notice at all. Stepping into the pit, under inertia, with a crisp sound of "Kaba—", Xu Damao was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground, face first.
"Ah! Which bastard dug this pit here?" Xu Damao cursed loudly. After cursing, Xu Damao climbed up and ran. Running like this, Xu Damao found his lower leg in extreme pain and almost fainted.
Xu Damao understood that his leg was broken. Xu Damao couldn't help but get anxious, enduring the pain, and crawled toward the place where the hospital was.
Xu Damao prayed in his heart that these people could hold on for a little longer. Otherwise, if he were caught by He Yuzhu, it wouldn't just be a beating. Once this kind of matter was reported to the factory, even if he wasn't fired, it would be close.
Xu Damao, in order not to be punished by the Rolling Mill, burst out with great perseverance and crawled quickly toward the hospital. Fortunately, Xu Damao met passersby on the road. Seeing Xu Damao so miserable, the passersby supported Xu Damao and sent him to the hospital.
On He Yuzhu's side, after beating the people, he didn't go after Xu Damao, just broke Xu Damao's leg, letting him reflect in the hospital and suffer a bit.
"This master, we've lost. Please throw a vine," the leading big man said, enduring the pain.
"Yo, still want to take revenge? Fine, I'm the person who fears revenge the least. You listen well..."
"South Little Du, North Old Nine, Thirteen is invincible in the Security Section, Beggar Instructor Xu Dashao, Coachman Master Little A-Qiao, Chef Drunkard, Black and White Impermanence Dragon Tiger Leopard."
"I am Xu Dashao, one of the Thirteen Taibao of Beijing. I don't change my name when I walk, I don't change my surname when I sit. I am Xu Damao," He Yuzhu said without hesitation.
He Yuzhu didn't know if Xu Damao would show his true face to the workers and then invite these people, but putting a pot on Xu Damao's head was never wrong.
"Good! Xu Damao, you are very good. You wait for me," the leading big man said viciously.
"Wait? Wait for your paralysis. Lao Cai, go to the police station and report the case," He Yuzhu shouted loudly.
Cai Quanwu then reacted and hurriedly ran toward the police station.
Chen Xueru, however, was grabbing He Yuzhu's hand tightly. To be precise, Chen Xueru was grabbing He Yuzhu's hand and hadn't let go.
At this time, Chen Xueru reacted belatedly and let go of He Yuzhu's hand with a blushing face.
"Bamboo, many thanks to you. If it weren't for you today, I would have been in danger," Chen Xueru said with lingering fear.
"It's me who implicated you. These people were clearly coming for me, and you were purely victims of the pond fish," He Yuzhu shook his head and said.
Chen Xueru thought He Yuzhu was comforting her, and her impression of He Yuzhu rose, almost reaching the peak.
Chen Xueru felt an inexplicable sense of peace and security, and her heart had an inexplicable palpitation.
Just then, a series of rapid footsteps came from afar.
