Chapter 178 Xu Damao made up his mind
He Yuzhu and his friends were sitting around the dining table, enjoying the warm time of dinner. Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then Xu Damao appeared at the door. He did not knock on the door, but pushed the door open directly. This action made He Yuzhu frown slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
Xu Damao's face was solemn, as if he was carrying a heavy secret. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on He Yuzhu. Seeing this, He Yuzhu relaxed his expression, nodded slightly to Liu Xiuxiu and the others, signaling them to continue eating, and he stood up and walked towards Xu Damao.
"Come on, let's go out and talk and see what's wrong with you." There was a hint of concern in He Yuzhu's tone, but more of it was confusion about Xu Damao's behavior.
Xu Damao didn't say much, but followed He Yuzhu silently, and the two of them walked out of the house one after the other. They came to a place they often went to.
After standing still, Xu Damao took a deep breath, as if to let out all the anxiety in his heart. He said, "Lou Xiao'e's parents have been arrested and investigated. Sha Zhu, what should I do?"
He Yuzhu's heart sank when he heard the news. He knew what this news meant to Xu Damao, but he still tried to stay calm and think about how to respond.
He organized his words and said slowly, "The Lou family will come out, but they probably won't be able to keep their property. As for Lou Xiao'e, if she puts an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with the Lou family, it shouldn't affect you."
After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Xu Damao's eyes flashed with a complex hesitation. He frowned, as if weighing the pros and cons, thinking about the consequences of this decision.
He clenched his hands together, looking extremely nervous. He knew this was the only way at the moment, but thinking of the pregnant Lou Xiao'e, he couldn't help but feel worried.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, then slowly said, "I haven't told Ezi about her parents yet. I'm afraid she can't stand the shock and it will be bad for the child." His voice trembled a little, revealing his inner fragility and anxiety.
He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao and understood his worries. He pondered for a moment, then said to Xu Damao seriously, "It's better to do it sooner rather than later. If you don't tell her now and she hears it from someone else, it will be a bigger blow to her. Think about it carefully."
After that, He Yuzhu said nothing more. He patted Xu Damao on the shoulder to show his understanding and support. Then, he turned and left, leaving Xu Damao standing there alone, continuing to think about this thorny problem.
After He Yuzhu left, Xu Damao stood there alone, staring blankly ahead. His face looked pale and tired in the moonlight, and he frowned and sighed softly from time to time, as if he was experiencing an inner storm. His hands were clasped together, as if he was looking for a trace of strength and courage.
After a long while, Xu Damao seemed to have made up his mind. He took a deep breath and his eyes gradually became firm. He turned and walked home. Although his steps were a little heavy, each step seemed very firm. He had made up his mind and knew that he had to face it all.
As soon as he stepped into the front door of his house, a pillow suddenly flew over and hit him on the head accurately. Xu Damao was slightly stunned, then he lowered his head to pick up the pillow and looked at Lou Xiao'e who was sitting in front of the bed angrily. Lou Xiao'e's face was serious, her eyes were full of anger, and she was obviously angry.
Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e and said angrily, "What are you doing? Why did you suddenly throw the pillow?"
Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao who was questioning her and became even angrier. She said directly, "What do you think I'm doing? Don't you know I'm hungry? Don't you know that it's easy to get hungry when you're pregnant?"
Xu Damao listened to Lou Xiao'e's questioning and looked at her bulging belly, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated. He knew that he had neglected to take good care of Lou Xiao'e.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a calm tone, "Wait a moment, I'll go cook."
After saying that, Xu Damao turned and walked towards the kitchen and started to get busy. He knew that the most important thing now was to let Lou Xiaoe have a meal, and other things could be solved slowly.
