Chapter 817

Cao Weiguo smiled and said, "I've been to the Small Tavern and have heard of your name."

Chen Xueru laughed happily, "Oh my! Then we really have quite the connection."

Cao Weiguo smiled and said, "Though this connection was quite heart-pounding."

"Comrade Chen Xueru, it's not safe on the road after dark. Let me see you home."

Chen Xueru laughed coquettishly, "You're quite the gentleman. Let's go."

Cao Weiguo pushed his bicycle, which had a deformed front wheel.

He escorted Chen Xueru back to her residence in a straightforward manner.

They met Chen Xueru's third husband, Fan Jinyou.

At first, Fan Jinyou's expression was ugly; he felt as if a green hat had been placed upon his head.

It wasn't that he was a suspicious person.

It was just that Chen Xueru was an extraordinary woman.

This woman was a bold person with a truly genuine temperament.

Chen Xueru noticed Fan Jinyou's expression.

She gave him a kick in annoyance.

Then, she vividly recounted how she had been robbed.

And how Cao Weiguo, who was passing by, had acted bravely for a just cause.

Upon learning the ins and outs, Fan Jinyou hurriedly stepped forward to express his gratitude.

He insisted on inviting Cao Weiguo into their home for a sit-down.

Cao Weiguo glanced at his watch and said, "No, no!"

"It's too late today, I must hurry home!"

"My wife might be waiting for me at this hour."

Chen Xueru said generously:

"In that case, take it slow on the road."

"Another day, I will set up a table of wine at home to properly thank my great benefactor."

Fan Jinyou said, "Comrade Weiguo, take care!"

Cao Weiguo pushed his deformed bicycle and took his leave.

Chen Xueru stared at the receding figure, lost in a daze.

Fan Jinyou asked, "Do you know where this Cao Weiguo lives and where he works?"

Chen Xueru: "I heard from the comrades at the police station that he seems to be some kind of director at the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant."

Fan Jinyou was surprised: "A director at the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant? So young?"

Chen Xueru said coquettishly in annoyance:

"Look at you, making such a fuss!"

"So what if he's young? It just shows he has ability!"

"Would an ordinary person dare to fight a thug holding a knife?"

"Would you dare?"

Fan Jinyou puffed out his chest: "Why wouldn't I dare! It's just that I haven't encountered one!"

Chen Xueru kicked him: "Keep bragging!"

This night wasn't long, but quite a few things had happened.

By the time Cao Weiguo returned home, it was already past ten o'clock at night.

In the Sihe Academy, every household had extinguished their lights; it was so quiet that a falling needle could be heard.

Seeing Cao Weiguo return, Song Yulan finally let out a sigh of relief.

She complained to Cao Weiguo in a huff:

"You didn't even look at the time while drinking."

"What time is it now?"

"Tell me, once you start drinking, you forget everything!"

"You don't know how worried I was at home!"

Cao Weiguo hurriedly pulled his wife over to apologize:

"It's my fault! It's my fault!"

"I promise it won't happen again!"

"There was a reason I came home late today."

"Listen to me, on the way I encountered someone robbing a bag..."

"Your man here chased after them on my bike!"

"That thug was sent flying seven or eight meters by my collision!"
