Chapter 2566 Jin Jichuan Meets Lou Xiao'e

In Hong Kong, Jin Jichuan paid a huge price to finally meet with Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e had handed over her business affairs to her two sons several years ago.

She usually doesn't get involved in business matters; her two sons each manage their own.

In other words, He Xiao found a widow, and the matter became too big, so Lou Xiao'e stepped in and let Chen Yunan take over part of the business.

Lou Xiao'e rarely goes out, and she usually delegates social engagements to her two daughters-in-law.

It's really not easy for Jin Jichuan to see her.

Lou Xiao'e sized up the person in front of her: "What do you want to see me about?"

Jin Jichuan said sincerely, "I came here specifically to thank you."

"Thank me?" Lou Xiao'e looked at Jin Jichuan with a puzzled expression, her mind racing with thoughts about him.

After searching for a long time, all I found was a blank page.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't believe that she had ever helped Jin Jichuan.

She knew that Jin Jichuan was no ordinary person, and she dared not accept this gratitude rashly.

"I really can't remember when I helped you. You must have misunderstood."

Jin Jichuan then explained, "There's no misunderstanding. You're not helping me, you're helping my grandmother."

By the way, my grandma is a deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady was one of the most important people in Lou Xiao'e's life, her status comparable to that of her biological parents.

When she was bullied in the courtyard, only the deaf old lady would stand up for her.

The Lou family was able to come to Hong Kong alive thanks to the deaf old lady.

Without the deaf old lady's matchmaking, she and Sha Zhu would still be enemies, and Sha Zhu would never have helped her.

She never forgot the deaf old lady and was very grateful to her.

However, in Lou Xiao'e's memory, the deaf old lady was just a lonely old lady whose son had been killed by the Japanese devils long ago.

“I remember the old lady saying that her child had died long ago.”

Jin Jichuan took out a photo, which was a picture of the deaf old lady and Jin Qihao.

"Take a look at this photo, and you'll understand."

Lou Xiao'e picked up the photo and immediately recognized the deaf old lady. She had often chatted with the deaf old lady when she lived in the courtyard house and had seen this photo several times.

Jin Jichuan then took out another photo, a picture of him and Jin Qihao.

"To be honest, my father didn't actually die. He was taken to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek."

You're probably familiar with the situation back then. Grandma dared not tell outsiders anything; she could only tell them that her sons were all dead.

Lou Xiao'e knew all too well what had happened back then. The Lou family was just a group of merchants; even they couldn't guarantee their safety.

Not to mention, the deaf old lady has a son in Taiwan.

Lou Xiao'e picked up the photo again, looked at it carefully, and confirmed Jin Jichuan's identity.

"So, you really are the old lady's grandson. How did you find me?"

Seeing that the results were good, Jin Jichuan began to build relationships.

"My father once went to the courtyard house to look for relatives, based on what the neighbors in the courtyard told him."

He wanted to meet you to express his gratitude, but you weren't in Beijing at the time, so he didn't get to see you.

Later, after he returned from Beijing, he fell ill and stayed in the hospital, completely forgetting about the incident.

Jin Jichuan didn't dare mention the names of Yi Zhonghai and the others, fearing that he would anger Lou Xiao'e and the matter would not be resolved.

When Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu had their falling out, he wasn't in Beijing, but Mike was.

He has a very clear understanding of what happened back then.

Lou Xiao'e knew immediately who he was referring to. After all, in the entire courtyard, only Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were close to the deaf old lady.

Yi Zhonghai is dead, so there's no need for her to argue with a dead man.

"You mean Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, right? I didn't expect them to still remember my relationship with the old lady."

Jin Jichuan knew about this matter and couldn't exclude Yi Zhonghai, so he could only choose to acquiesce.

"The old man has passed away." Lou Xiao'e said, "I know. I haven't visited the old lady's grave for many years either."

Jin Jichuan looked ashamed: "Compared to you, I am even less qualified as your grandson."

Lou Xiao'e didn't want to talk about those sad things, so she asked, "You called me here just to tell me these things?"

Jin Jichuan shook his head: "That's only one purpose. The other is about Shazhu, do you know about it?"

Before Jin Jichuan arrived, he had already contacted someone and mentioned Shazhu's situation.

Lou Xiao'e nodded slightly: "I have nothing to do with Sha Zhu anymore."

Nothing he does has anything to do with me.

Sha Zhu's actions deeply hurt Lou Xiao'e, and she still cannot forgive him.

She wasn't surprised at all that Sha Zhu was kicked out of the house.

Of all the people in the courtyard, only Sha Zhu couldn't see through Qin Huairu's character.

Even Yi Zhonghai knew very well who Qin Huairu really was.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to sow discord between Sha Zhu and He Xiao.

Jin Jichuan had already learned about Lou Xiao'e's reaction from others.

He expressed understanding of Lou Xiao'e's attitude, but said he could not accept it.

If Lou Xiao'e doesn't budge, how can he persuade Sha Zhu through her?

“I met Sha Zhu before I came to Hong Kong. He already regretted it. He told me that he missed you and He Xiao very much.”

Lou Xiao'e interrupted him: "I might believe you if you say he misses He Xiao. But as for missing me, don't joke around."

The men of the He family only like widows.

Considering He Xiao's character, Jin Jichuan couldn't refute Lou Xiao'e's words.

He couldn't refute it, nor could he shift all the blame onto Qin Huairu.

Jin Jichuan really needed Lou Xiao'e to persuade Sha Zhu to go find He Yuzhu.

But he needs Qin Huairu to control Shazhu even more. Compared to Lou Xiao'e, Qin Huairu is more trustworthy.

"I've heard about what happened back then. Actually, both Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were victims."

"Qin Huairu is a victim?" Lou Xiao'e lost her composure, her tone laced with sarcasm.

Jin Jichuan nodded seriously: "That's right. You may not know, but Qin Huairu was also forced into this situation by Yi Zhonghai."

After Jia Dongxu's death, Yi Zhonghai was in a state of unease and distrusted everyone.

In order to prepare for his old age, he thought of having a child through surrogacy.

He wanted to force Qin Huairu to have a son for him.

"Isn't he afraid of being discovered?" Lou Xiao'e didn't quite believe this reason.

Yi Zhonghai is a very proud person and cannot tolerate the slightest stain on his reputation.

Matters within the courtyard should be resolved within the courtyard, and no one is allowed to disclose them to outsiders. This rule was established by Yi Zhonghai.

Someone once violated this rule and was forced by Yi Zhonghai to the point that he could no longer live in the courtyard house.

It can be said that no news from inside the courtyard could be leaked out unless Yi Zhonghai wanted it to.

What got out was all with Yi Zhonghai's tacit approval.

Qin Huairu is the wife of Yi Zhonghai's apprentice. If anything were to happen between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai's reputation would be ruined.

Based on Lou Xiao'e's understanding of Yi Zhonghai, she knew he wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

Jin Jichuan said, "At first I didn't believe it either. But after hearing Qin Huairu's words, I had no choice but to believe it."

He wanted Qin Huairu to marry Sha Zhu, bringing her child with her. That's why he wouldn't allow Sha Zhu to get married.

Then, Jin Jichuan told Lou Xiao'e the story that Qin Huairu had fabricated.

"That's why the Jia family hates Yi Zhonghai so much."

After Yi Zhonghai's death, Sha Zhu forced the Jia family to fulfill their filial duties to Yi Zhonghai.

Bang Geng was unhappy and had a conflict with Sha Zhu, which led to him being kicked out of the house. (End of Chapter)
