Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 1104 Turn around and leave

Ran Qiuye did not back down. She frankly admitted that she liked He Yudong, but she did not destroy their family. It was He Yudong who pursued her first.

Lou Xiao'e was furious. She slapped Ran Qiuye and then turned and left.

He Yudong was very angry when he found out. He found Lou Xiaoe and asked her why she beat Ran Qiuye. Lou Xiaoe cried and said that she was his wife and Ran Qiuye was the third party.

He Yudong sighed helplessly, he knew that he had hurt Lou Xiao'e, but his feelings for Ran Qiuye were sincere. He didn't know how to choose, he was in a dilemma.

At the same time, Sha Zhu did not give up revenge on He Yudong. He secretly investigated the relationship between He Yudong and Ran Qiuye and collected evidence of their relationship. He planned to give this evidence to Lou Xiaoe so that Lou Xiaoe would completely give up on He Yudong.

Sha Zhu's plan succeeded. After seeing those photos, Lou Xiao'e completely collapsed. She couldn't accept He Yudong's betrayal, so she decided to divorce He Yudong.

He Yudong was shocked to learn that Lou Xiaoe wanted to divorce him. He begged Lou Xiaoe desperately, but Lou Xiaoe had made up her mind.

Eventually, He Yudong and Lou Xiao'e divorced, and their son was awarded to Lou Xiao'e for custody.

He Yudong lost his wife and son, and he felt that his life had hit rock bottom.

At this moment, Ran Qiuye came to He Yudong. She hugged He Yudong tightly, comforting him and encouraging him.

He Yudong buried his head in Ran Qiuye's arms, tears streaming down his face. He knew that Ran Qiuye was all he had left.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened...

Ran Qiuye's appearance stunned Sha Zhu. He looked up and down at the woman who suddenly appeared. She was wearing a well-fitting suit, had delicate makeup, and was holding a small leather bag. It was obvious that she was not an ordinary person. Sha Zhu was a little confused. Who was this woman?

He Yudong was also a little surprised. He didn't know this woman named Ran Qiuye. After Ran Qiuye helped him up, she turned to look at Sha Zhu with a sharp look in her eyes, "Who are you? How dare you make He Yudong kneel down?"

Sha Zhu was frightened by her aura, but he still said with his neck stiff, "I...what's wrong with me? He owes me money! It's only natural to pay back a debt! He kneeled down to beg me, but I didn't want him to kneel again!"

Ran Qiuye sneered, "I owe you money? How much do I owe you? I'll pay it back for him!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes rolled and he immediately opened his mouth loudly: "Not much, not much, just one thousand yuan!"

One thousand yuan was not a small sum in this era, equivalent to two years' salary for an ordinary worker. Sha Zhu was sure that He Yudong could not afford so much money, so he deliberately quoted a high price, hoping to take the opportunity to humiliate him.

Unexpectedly, Ran Qiuye didn't even blink, and directly took out a wad of money from her bag and threw it in Sha Zhu's face, "Here are two thousand, and the extra is a reward for you! Stay away from He Yudong in the future. If I see you bullying him again, I will make you pay for it!"

Sha Zhu was hit by the money and saw stars. He quickly picked up the money on the ground and said with a nod, "Yes, yes, I will never dare to do it again."

Ran Qiuye no longer paid attention to Sha Zhu, turned to He Yudong and said, "He Yudong, come with me."

He Yudong was confused. He had no idea what was going on. Who was this Ran Qiuye? Why did she help him? He hesitated for a moment, but still followed Ran Qiuye.

The two came to a high-end restaurant, and Ran Qiuye ordered a few dishes before saying, "He Yudong, I know you were wronged."

He Yudong looked at her in surprise, "How did you know?"

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Of course I have my own information channels. Don't worry, I will help you clear your grievances and let you return to the steel mill."

He Yudong's heart was filled with gratitude. He didn't know why this woman wanted to help him, but he knew that this was his only hope.

"Thank you, Comrade Ran Qiuye." He Yudong said sincerely.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor." Ran Qiuye said calmly, "But I have conditions for helping you."

He Yudong was stunned. "What conditions?"

Ran Qiuye looked at him, a cunning look flashed in her eyes, "I want you to be my..." She paused deliberately, and then slowly said, "Fake husband."

He Yudong stared at her in amazement, unable to react for a moment. Fake husband? What does this mean?

Ran Qiuye explained: "I need a husband to deal with my family's pressure to get married, and you just meet my requirements. Don't worry, this is just a temporary solution. After a while, I will give you some money, and then we can go our separate ways."

He Yudong fell into deep thought. Fake marriage? It sounds a bit absurd, but he is desperate now, and this may be his only way out. Moreover, Ran Qiuye promised to help him clear his grievances and return to the steel mill, which is a great temptation for him.

"I...I need to think about it." He Yudong said.

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Of course, you can take your time to think about it. However, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible."

In the next few days, He Yudong kept thinking about Ran Qiuye's proposal. He was very conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that fake marriage was unreliable, but on the other hand, he was eager to return to the steel mill to prove his innocence.

In the end, he decided to accept Ran Qiuye's proposal. He knew that this might be his only chance to turn things around.

He found Ran Qiuye and told her that he agreed. Ran Qiuye was very happy and immediately arranged for someone to help him go through the reinstatement procedures.

He Yudong returned to the steel mill, but he was not happy because he knew that his current identity was just a "fake husband". His relationship with Ran Qiuye was like a transaction, a transaction in which both sides got what they needed.

Back at the courtyard, He Yudong told Lou Xiao'e the news. After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e's face turned pale.

"Yudong, you...you really want to have a fake marriage with her?" Lou Xiao'e's voice trembled.

He Yudong nodded, "Xiao'e, I have no choice. I have to go back to the steel mill. I can't let you and the child suffer with me."

Lou Xiao'e burst into tears, "Yudong, have you ever thought about my feelings? What do you want me to do?"

He Yudong hugged Lou Xiao'e tightly in his arms, "Xiao'e, I'm sorry, I know I'm sorry for you. But I promise, this is only temporary. After a while, I will divorce her, and our family of three will be reunited."

Lou Xiao'e cried even harder. She didn't know what to do. She felt like her world was about to collapse.

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, "Hey, isn't this He Yudong? Why, you're back again? It seems like you've hooked up with a rich man!"

He Yudong raised his head and saw Sha Zhu standing at the door with a gloating expression on his face.

He Yudong's face suddenly turned gloomy. He didn't expect Sha Zhu to appear at this time.

Sha Zhu walked up to He Yudong and said in a sarcastic tone, "He Yudong, you are so good. Now that you have hooked up with a rich woman, have you forgotten all of us old friends?"

He Yudong suppressed his anger and said, "Silly Zhu, stop talking nonsense! I have nothing to say to you!"

Sha Zhu chuckled, "Why, are you feeling guilty? Are you afraid that I will expose your ugly deeds?"

He Yudong clenched his fists and really wanted to punch this smug guy in the face, but he knew that now was not the time to act on impulse.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "Silly Zhu, what do you want?"

Sha Zhu said smugly: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to see how long your 'fake husband' can be so proud!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu turned and left, leaving He Yudong and Lou Xiaoe standing there, at a loss...

Ran Qiuye's appearance instantly froze the atmosphere at the scene. Sha Zhu looked up and down at the woman who suddenly appeared. She was wearing a well-fitting suit, with delicate makeup and an alligator bag in her hand. It was obvious that she was not someone he could afford to offend. His original arrogance suddenly shrank, but he still refused to give in: "Who are you? Mind your own business!"

Ran Qiuye sneered, took out a business card from her bag and threw it at Sha Zhu's face: "Look carefully, I am the president of the Ran Group, Ran Qiuye. Now, I'll give you a chance to apologize to He Yudong immediately!"

Sha Zhu picked up the business card and looked at the gold-plated words on it. His calves began to tremble. The Ran Group was a behemoth that would shake the entire city if it stomped its feet! How did he end up provoking this great god?

“I...I..." Sha Zhu stammered, his face turning red and white.

"Apologize!" Ran Qiuye shouted sternly, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Sha Zhu was so scared that he shuddered, "I'm... I'm sorry, He Yudong, I... I was wrong..." He lowered his head, his voice as thin as a mosquito.

He Yudong looked at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings. He didn't expect that when he was at his lowest point, it would be Ran Qiuye who stood up to help him. He had only met this woman a few times, but she gave him great help.

Ran Qiuye turned around and showed He Yudong a gentle smile, completely different from the fierce smile just now: "Mr. He, are you okay?"

He Yudong nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Ran."

"You're welcome," Ran Qiuye said, "I know you were fired from the factory. I might be able to help you with this matter."

He Yudong was stunned, "Boss Ran, what do you mean?"

Ran Qiuye smiled mysteriously: "Don't ask so many questions for now. Come to the Ran Group headquarters to find me at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." After that, she walked away gracefully in her high heels.

The next day, He Yudong arrived at the Ran Group headquarters on time. Ran Qiuye was already waiting for him in the office.

"Mr. He, please sit down." Ran Qiuye said, pointing at the sofa.

After He Yudong sat down, Ran Qiuye said straight to the point: "I have investigated your dismissal. Someone is framing you behind the scenes."

He Yudong was shocked. He didn't expect Ran Qiuye to have found out this. "Boss Ran, do you know who framed me?"

Ran Qiuye nodded, "It's Director Li and Xu Damao."

"It's them!" He Yudong said gritting his teeth. He had long suspected that it was these two people, but he had no evidence.

"I have evidence of their corruption and bribery," Ran Qiuye said. "I will hand it over to the relevant departments and let them receive the punishment they deserve."

He Yudong looked at Ran Qiuye gratefully, "Mr. Ran, thank you."

"No need to thank me," Ran Qiuye said, "I just can't stand seeing this kind of villain's smug look."

"Then...about my dismissal..." He Yudong asked somewhat nervously.

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "I have already informed the factory manager, you can go back to work tomorrow."

He Yudong stood up excitedly, "Mr. Ran, you are really my benefactor!"

"Okay, don't be so polite," Ran Qiuye said, "work hard in the future and don't let me down."

He Yudong nodded heavily, his heart filled with gratitude and hope.

That night, He Yudong told Lou Xiaoe the good news. Lou Xiaoe cried with joy and hugged He Yudong, saying, "Yudong, that's great. We can finally get through this difficult time."

He Yudong hugged Lou Xiaoe tightly, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. He didn't expect that when he was in the most difficult time, it would be Ran Qiuye who helped him through the difficulties. This woman was like a beam of light, illuminating his dark life.
