Chapter 291 1 Bold Ideas

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Old lady, you're welcome. This is what I should do."

He said, turning away from the crowd.

Yan Bugui looked at Chu Tian's departing back, his eyes full of resentment. He knew that he was completely screwed this time, and it was all thanks to Chu Tian.

He secretly swore to himself that he must take revenge on Chu Tian and make him pay the price!

Sha Zhu walked up to Yan Bugui, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Uncle San, don't be sad. Just be more careful next time."

Yan Bugui shook off Sha Zhu's hand and shouted angrily, "Get lost! It's all your fault! If you hadn't been meddling in my business, I wouldn't have been caught!"

Sha Zhu was stunned by Yan Bugui's scolding. He didn't expect that Yan Bugui would actually put the blame on him.

He said angrily: "Uncle, what do you mean by this? I'm helping you out of kindness, and you're blaming me?"

Yan Bugui glared at Sha Zhu and said, "Don't pretend to be a good guy in front of me! You just want to laugh at me! You just want to ruin my reputation!"

Sha Zhu was so angry at Yan Bugui's words that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Yan Bugui and said, "You...you...you ungrateful thing!"

After saying that, he turned and left the crowd. He felt like all his enthusiasm had been wasted.

As he walked, he said, "Good intentions are not rewarded! From now on, whoever wants to interfere can do so. I will never interfere in other people's business again!"

As he was walking, he suddenly felt someone calling him from behind.

He looked back and saw Qin Huairu standing not far away, looking at him anxiously.

"Shazhu, wait for me!" Qin Huairu shouted.

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu, his heart suddenly warmed up. He stopped and waited for Qin Huairu to come over.

"Shazhu, are you okay?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

Sha Zhu shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Qin Huairu held Sha Zhu's hand and said softly, "Sha Zhu, I know you feel wronged, but don't be too sad. You did the right thing, you are a good person."

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu, and a warm current surged in his heart. He felt that all his grievances had disappeared.

"Huai Ru, thank you." Sha Zhu said gratefully.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Shazhu, you don't have to thank me. We are a family, of course I have to care about you."

As Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's gentle smile, a bold idea suddenly occurred to him...

Sha Zhu's heart was pounding like a restless rabbit. He secretly glanced at Qin Huairu and saw that she lowered her head, her cheeks were slightly red, and a few strands of black hair hung down, covering her shy expression. He felt his throat was a little dry, swallowed his saliva, and mustered up the courage to say: "Huairu, I...I think..."

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at him with her big watery eyes, as if she could see through the secrets in his heart.

Sha Zhu's face turned even redder, and he stammered, "I...I think...if...if it was Jia Xudong...if he..."

"What if something happens to him?" Qin Huairu asked, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in her tone.

Sha Zhu took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, and said: "If he...if he can't come back...you...are you willing...willing to follow me..."

Before she could finish her words, Qin Huairu's face suddenly turned red. She suddenly pulled back her hand and took a few steps back, her eyes filled with panic and fear.

"Silly Zhu, you...what are you talking about!" She scolded in a low voice, "Jia Xudong...he...he will definitely come back!"

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's reaction and felt disappointed. He knew that he was too abrupt. Qin Huairu must still be thinking about Jia Xudong. What he said would only make her more disgusted.

"Huai Ru, I...I didn't mean that..." Sha Zhu quickly explained, "I just...I'm just worried that you...are having a hard time alone..."

Qin Huairu lowered her head and said nothing. She was confused and didn't know how to face Sha Zhu's confession. On the one hand, she was grateful for Sha Zhu's concern and care for her, but on the other hand, she felt that she couldn't let Jia Xudong down.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.

"Jia Xudong is back! Jia Xudong is back!" someone shouted.

Qin Huairu suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the crowd. She saw Jia Xudong limping over, his face full of fatigue and frustration, his clothes were tattered.

"Xudong!" Qin Huairu shouted excitedly and ran towards Jia Xudong desperately.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu running away, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that there was always an insurmountable gap between him and Qin Huairu.

When Jia Xudong saw Qin Huairu, a smile appeared on his face. He opened his arms and hugged Qin Huairu tightly.

"Huai Ru, I'm back." He said with a sob.

"Xudong, are you...are you okay?" Qin Huairu asked with concern, her tears falling like pearls from a broken string.

"I'm fine, I just... sprained my leg..." Jia Xudong said, his voice a little weak.

Qin Huairu supported Jia Xudong and walked slowly towards the courtyard.

Sha Zhu followed them silently, his heart full of bitterness. He looked at the backs of Jia Xudong and Qin Huairu hugging each other tightly, and felt like a superfluous person.

After returning to the courtyard, Jia Zhang saw Jia Xudong injured and burst into tears. She blamed Jia Xudong for being careless, but also kept asking about his well-being.

Jia Xudong briefly explained to everyone what had happened. It turned out that he had accidentally fallen on the construction site and sprained his leg.

After hearing Jia Xudong's explanation, everyone expressed their sympathy and concern.

Seeing Jia Xudong surrounded by everyone and enjoying their care, Sha Zhu felt even worse. He felt like an outsider, isolated from this bustling courtyard.

He turned around and left silently, returning to his room.

He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Qin Huairu's figure and her panicked and terrified expression kept appearing in his mind.

He didn't know what to do. He felt like a lost ship, drifting in the vast ocean, unable to find a harbor.

The next morning, Sha Zhu went to the factory. He worked hard, trying to numb himself and stop thinking about those annoying things.

However, no matter how hard he tried, Qin Huairu's figure was always lingering.

At lunch time, Sha Zhu sat alone in the cafeteria, eating in silence.

Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name.

He looked up and saw Qin Huairu standing in front of him.

"Shazhu, are you...are you okay?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

Sha Zhu shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

"Silly Zhu, yesterday... yesterday's incident..." Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment and said, "I... I didn't mean it..."
