Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 226 Suspicion and Doubt

In the crowd, Qin Huairu held Xiaodang and watched the busy Xu Damao quietly, with a complicated look in her eyes.

Ever since she had a big fight with Jia Dongxu that day, she had been feeling upset.

Jia Dongxu became even more taciturn and locked himself in the room all day long, never seeing the sun.

She knew that Jia Dongxu was angry with her, but wasn't she the same?

She was fed up with this hopeless life and Jia Dongxu's suspicion and distrust.

"Huai Ru, what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly a familiar voice came from her ears. Qin Huairu looked up and saw Sha Zhu holding two lunch boxes and standing in front of her with a smile on his face.

"Nothing, I just feel a little depressed." Qin Huairu forced a smile.

"It's boring. Today is a great day for watching a movie. Come, I've saved a good seat for you." Sha Zhu said, and then pulled Qin Huairu towards the crowd.

Qin Huairu wanted to refuse, but when she saw Sha Zhu's honest face, she couldn't say it.

She knew that Sha Zhu was good to her, but there was always a hurdle in her heart, an insurmountable hurdle.

"Silly Zhu, you..."

"Shh, the movie is about to start, don't talk." Sha Zhu pressed Qin Huairu into her seat and stood behind her, silently protecting her.

The movie started and the yard suddenly became quiet, with only the buzzing sound of the projector.

On the screen, light and shadow flicker, telling a touching love story.

As Qin Huairu watched, tears began to flow down her face unknowingly.

She thought of her past with Jia Dongxu, and the sweetness and happiness they once had.

But now, everything has changed...

Just then, a big warm hand gently held her hand.

Qin Huairu turned her head and saw Sha Zhu looking at her affectionately, his eyes full of love and pity.

"Huai Ru, don't be sad, everything will be fine."

Sha Zhu's voice was gentle and firm, like a warm current, slowly flowing into Qin Huairu's heart.

At that moment, Qin Huairu's heart was in turmoil, and her mind was blank. Only Sha Zhu's sincere face and those loving eyes remained.

……

And all this was seen by Xu Damao who was hiding in the dark.

There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You idiot, you dare to snatch a woman from me? You wait for me!"

Xu Damao clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart that he would make Sha Zhu pay the price!

Qin Huairu felt her cheeks burning like fire. Sha Zhu's hands were broad and warm, in stark contrast to her rough hands that had been holding needles and thread all day. She wanted to pull her hand back, but it was as if she was burned and she shrank back as if she had received an electric shock.

"Huai Ru, you..." Sha Zhu was delighted to see Qin Huai Ru's reaction. He was about to say something but was interrupted by a sharp shout.

"You idiot, you're using my stuff to pick up girls here, do you have any shame?!"

Xu Damao had turned off the projector without knowing when, and pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and started to curse. He had been hiding in the dark, wanting to watch the show between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, but he had never expected that Sha Zhu would dare to make a move in front of so many people. How could he tolerate this?

Everyone in the yard was stunned by this sudden change, and the wonderful atmosphere of being immersed in the movie disappeared in an instant. Everyone was whispering and talking, and their eyes turned to Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu with ambiguity.

Qin Huairu was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She stood up suddenly and squeezed out of the crowd in a panic, leaving Sha Zhu alone to face Xu Damao's anger.

"Xu Damao, what nonsense are you talking about! Huairu and I are innocent, stop slandering me!" Sha Zhu retorted angrily.

"Clear? Do you think I'm blind? Who can't see it from the look on your faces just now?" Xu Damao sneered, "Why, Jia Dongxu isn't dead yet, and you can't wait to cuckold him?"

"You..." Sha Zhu was angered by Xu Damao's words. He clenched his fists and wanted to rush up and punch Xu Damao.

"What, you want to fight? Come on, who's afraid of who?" Xu Damao showed no sign of weakness. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight with Sha Zhu.

Just as the two were about to fight, someone suddenly stood up from the crowd.

"Stop it all!"

It was the third uncle, Yan Bugui. He adjusted his glasses and said slowly, "Da Mao, you should be more quiet. Sha Zhu, don't be impulsive. If you have anything to say, please talk nicely."

"Uncle, you have to make the decision for me on this matter!" Xu Damao pointed at Sha Zhu and said with a sad face, "Sha Zhu flirted with my wife in front of so many people and ruined my reputation. What do you think we should do about this matter?"

"Who flirted with your wife? Which eye did you see it?" Sha Zhu retorted unconvinced.

"I saw it with both eyes! You just held Huairu's hand and told her 'Everything will be fine'? Do you think I'm deaf?" Xu Damao became more and more excited as he spoke, with saliva flying everywhere.

"I...I was just comforting her!" Sha Zhu was speechless after hearing what Xu Damao said.

"Comfort? You use your hands to comfort her? Why don't you just hug her and comfort her?" Xu Damao said sarcastically.

The crowd around him burst into laughter, and Sha Zhu's face suddenly turned the color of liver. He wanted to refute, but found that he had nothing to say.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Uncle San saw that the situation was not good, and hurried out to smooth things over, "Da Mao, Sha Zhu didn't mean it, so don't bother with him."

"Uncle, can we just let this matter go? He has ruined my wife's reputation!" Xu Damao said relentlessly.

"So what do you want to do?" asked the third uncle.

"I want him to apologize to my wife in front of everyone in the hospital!" Xu Damao pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and said viciously.

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately flew into a rage. "Why? I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?!"

"You don't want to apologize, right? Then let's go find the uncle and seek justice!" Xu Damao said, and prepared to drag Sha Zhu to find Yi Zhonghai.

Sha Zhu knew that if this matter really got to Yi Zhonghai, he would definitely not get any good results. Although he was usually careless, he was not a fool. He knew that Xu Damao was deliberately setting a trap for him.

"Wait!" Sha Zhu suddenly said, "I can apologize."

"What did you say?" Xu Damao suspected that he had misheard. He looked at Sha Zhu in disbelief and asked, "Are you really willing to apologize?"

Sha Zhu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Xu Damao: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have held your wife's hand, please forgive me."

"You..." Xu Damao didn't expect that Sha Zhu would actually bow his head and apologize. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

"This..." The people around were also stunned. They didn't expect that the always stubborn Sha Zhu would actually bow his head and apologize to Xu Damao for Qin Huairu.
