Chapter 546

Cao Weiguo had poor character and engaged in illicit affairs.

But he was truly good to Song Yulan; he handed over his entire salary, was capable and talented, and knew how to cherish and take care of her.

As soon as Song Yulan became pregnant, Cao Weiguo acted as if he wanted to move the entire vegetable market home.

He served her good food and drink all day long, constantly changing up the variety of delicious meals he made for her.

The various fruits, pastries, and snacks made everyone else green with envy.

There were many women in the courtyard, but who could compare to Song Yulan?

Even Lou Xiaoe, the daughter of a capitalist, couldn't compare.

The Lou family had money, but because of their class background, they didn't dare to eat and drink lavishly.

But Cao Weiguo was different; his salary was high, and his money and ration coupons were all earned fair and square.

He didn't fear investigation for eating and drinking well; after all, he had the ability.

Qin Huairu was washing clothes by the water basin, staring jealously at the large and small bags.

Thinking that these were all for Song Yulan to eat, Qin Huairu couldn't stop her indignation.

She wanted to rush over and snatch them all home; these things should have been hers.

She had to finish off Cao Weiguo quickly and drive that stinking woman Song Yulan away.

She could not tolerate Song Yulan eating and drinking so well.

Everything belonging to Cao Weiguo and the Cao family should be hers, Qin Huairu's!

Banggeng stared fiercely at Cao Weiguo: "Just you wait! I'll empty your house sooner or later!"

Cao Weiguo ate well every other day, yet despite having money at home, he wouldn't help their family.

He even caused him to be sent to the juvenile detention center and caused his grandmother to go to prison.

This was simply hateful!

"Weiguo, you're back!"

"Sister Xiaoe, when did you arrive!"

When Cao Weiguo returned home, Lou Xiaoe was chatting with Song Yulan in the room.

After not seeing her for a while, Lou Xiaoe's skin seemed even fairer and more tender.

"So many delicious things!"

"Yulan, you are truly blessed."

"Look at how much Weiguo dotes on you."

Lou Xiaoe looked at the large and small bags Cao Weiguo was carrying.

She felt nothing but envy for Song Yulan.

Neither the Lou family nor the Xu family lacked money.

Their living conditions were much better than the average family.

But what kind of person was Xu Damao?

He was a cunning, selfish, and petty person.

He was always scheming for his own benefit; how would he ever care for her?

Now, Xu Damao was even more disappointing, not coming home all day long.

When he did return, he acted like a master, not even cooking, just waiting to eat ready-made meals.

Knowing he couldn't have children, Xu Damao's temper had actually grown worse.

He did nothing at home and would pick faults everywhere from time to time.

If it weren't for the sake of lowering their family's class status, Lou Xiaoe would really want to divorce Xu Damao.

Living with such a man was a daily ordeal filled with friction.

The two of them weren't like a married couple; they were more like enemies.

"Sister Xiaoe, please sit."

"I'll go wash some fruit for you."

Cao Weiguo smiled as he put down the items and nimbly washed a basin of fruit.

"Sister Xiaoe, have a peach!"

He first picked a red, large fuzzy peach and handed it to Lou Xiaoe.

Then he took an apple and handed it to Song Yulan:

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Song Yulan happily took the apple: "I want to eat shredded potatoes with vinegar."

"You got it!"

"Sister Xiaoe, Brother Damao isn't home either; don't cook tonight, just eat at our place."

With a smile, Cao Weiguo headed to the kitchen.

Lou Xiaoe wanted to decline, but Cao Weiguo had already entered the kitchen.

Cao Weiguo had brought back plenty of ingredients, and with his culinary skills,

he was busy clattering away in the kitchen.

Waves of delicious food aromas soon filled the air.

"Coming!"

"First dish: sweet and sour pork ribs!"

"And stir-fried duck eggs with green onions!"

"And one more: shredded potatoes with vinegar!"

Three people, three dishes, perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

Lou Xiaoe ate with great relish, truly satisfying her cravings.

She ate half a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs in one sitting.

After letting out a satisfied burp, her face flushed with embarrassment.

She had returned to the Sihe Academy from her parents' home.

Xu Damao didn't cook anymore.

And she didn't know how to cook either.

For three meals a day, they either bought food out or just boiled porridge.

Suddenly eating the food Cao Weiguo made,

she ate until she forgot herself.

After dinner, Lou Xiaoe helped clear the bowls and chopsticks.

Cao Weiguo cut up a fruit platter for dessert.

The three of them ate the fruit platter together and chatted idly.

When seeing Lou Xiaoe out, Cao Weiguo hesitated to speak:

"Sister Xiaoe!"

"I've heard some gossip recently."

"Someone is planning to target your Lou..."

"You can mention a few words about this to your father."

"But absolutely do not say it was me who said it."

"Even if you say it, I won't admit it."

Cao Weiguo couldn't bear to see Lou Xiaoe suffer.

He risked his own safety to give Lou Xiaoe a hint.

He hoped she and her father could prepare early.

And try to avoid that crisis.

Hearing Cao Weiguo's words, Lou Xiaoe lowered her head:

"Weiguo! Thank you."

"I will tell my father."

She also knew a little about these "gossip" rumors.

The Lou family was well-established in Jingcheng.

It was impossible for them not to know about those things. ===== CHAPTER 548 =====
