Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 400: Half City of Zhanglou

Lou Bancheng, calling me?

Wang Hongtao frowned and walked towards the door with some doubts.

Lou Jianshe walked a few steps with Wang Hongtao: "It's okay, brother. My dad has restrained himself a lot over the years. When he is not angry, he is still quite reasonable."

Wang Hongtao: ......

......

Inside the ward, Lou Bancheng sat on a stool and looked at Wang Hongtao carefully. His expression was calm, and it was difficult to tell what his mood was at the moment from his appearance.

The same goes for Lou's mother, Tan Yali, but her attitude is obviously much better.

As the old saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him. What's more, Wang Hongtao's appearance is indeed good. He is tall and handsome, especially his temperament, which is that of a sunny boy. In comparison, Xu Damao is just a silver-plated gun tip, very dull.

No wonder my daughter would change her mind.

Lou Xiao'e leaned back against the head of the bed, curled up her knees, and grabbed the quilt to cover her face, as if she was embarrassed to see herself.

Wang Hong suddenly had an epiphany, and after a simple analysis, he finally confirmed his judgment.

This silly girl really sold herself out, but luckily she didn't tell anyone about her worst behavior.

Otherwise I would be too ashamed to face anyone.

......

"Do you know why I called you in?" Lou Bancheng said in a deep voice.

"I know. It's because of Sister Xiao'e." Wang Hongtao stood in front of Lou Bancheng, his attitude respectful but not humble.

"Well, you're honest! You didn't use any sweet words."

"Now that you admit it, it's easy. Tell me how you plan to deal with it."

Wang Hongtao thought for a moment and replied, "It's up to you, Uncle Lou. I won't say a word no matter what you decide."

Lou Bancheng remained calm and asked, "Would you agree if I asked you to marry our Xiao'e?"

"Uncle Lou, what are you talking about? It is my blessing to marry Sister Xiao'e. How dare I refuse her?" Wang Hongtao answered firmly:

"As long as Uncle Lou agrees to let Sister Xiao'e divorce Xu Damao, I can marry her right away!"

Lou Xiao'e suddenly pulled down the quilt in front of her and asked in surprise, "Are you serious?"

"Dad, I want to divorce Xu Damao!"

Lou Xiao'e's reaction immediately broke Lou Bancheng's defense. He pointed at his silly daughter and said speechlessly, "What a bullshit!"

"This guy said this because he knew I wouldn't agree!"

Then he turned around and said unhappily, "Good boy, you are so smooth, aren't you? Did you really say this because you knew that I, Lou Qingyuan, wouldn't dare to agree?"

The Lou family's status is sensitive now, so they dare not do such a ridiculous thing as letting their daughter divorce and remarry the neighbor next door.

As for Wang Hongtao, as a young cadre with a bright future, there is no way he could marry the daughter of Z's family.

So what he said was equivalent to saying nothing.

Wang Hongtao smiled innocently: "Uncle Lou, you are too kind."

"But no matter what, I really like Sister Xiao'e. It's true. I can guarantee it with my life! And I will treat Xiao'e well in the future."

"Of course, no matter how much I say now, it's all in vain. Just wait and see what I do in the future."

Tan Yali whispered in Lou Bancheng's ear: "Qingyuan, is this kid a little too weak?"

"From his appearance, I thought he was a down-to-earth and honest person. Who dares to be cunning in front of you?"

Lou Bancheng, however, was not afraid of being heard by Wang Hongtao, and said loudly, "Empty and slippery? If this can be considered as empty and slippery, then what is Xu Damao called?"

"They have made it clear to me that I am the master of this matter."

"Now that we have said this, what else can we as parents complain about?"

"Yes, he did say that because he realized that I would never agree to it. But is that his problem? No, that's our problem!"

"To do one's best to help others and to get things done clearly, this is not called pretense, this is called ability!"

"If Xu Damao had half the ability of Xiao Wang, I wouldn't have kept him in the position of projectionist!"

After that, he looked at Wang Hongtao with appreciation and said, "You said something very right just now, that is, no matter how much you say, it's all empty talk. The key is how you do it."

"Back then, Xu Damao's mother praised Xu Damao as a rare talent in the world, but the truth is, he can't even have a child!"

"My moth just said a lot about you. I can feel that you are a person with ideas and abilities."

"Also, I can understand everything else you said, but can you tell me what you did during those six months you disappeared?"

Lou Bancheng knew that it was inappropriate to ask this question, but the matter was of great importance and he had no choice but to ask.

Wang Hongtao frowned and hesitated for a while, then said, "Uncle Lou, I can only say that it is related to the army, and it has nothing to do with you and others. Do you understand what I mean? I can't say more, it will violate discipline."

Lou Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed at himself: "Yes, it's my fault for talking too much, and I still think of myself as the same person as before..."

"Well, I won't say any more. I am old after all. Our era is really over..."

"Old Lou, please keep your voice down!" Tan Yali reminded.

Lou Bancheng also realized that he had said something wrong, and covered it up by saying, "What are you afraid of? There's no outsider inside."

Sensing that Lou Bancheng's attitude towards him had changed, Wang Hongtao asked secretly, "Uncle Lou, Xiao'e said that your family was away for a while after the New Year. Can you tell me what you did?"

“There are some things I don’t know whether I should say or not.”

Lou Bancheng's eyes gleamed: "Let's talk for a moment."

After saying that, he took Wang Hongtao to the lounge.

Lou Xiao'e was naturally living in the high-ranking cadres' ward. In addition to the fact that the bed was more spacious and comfortable than that in ordinary rooms, there was also a matching accompanying room, which was fully equipped with furniture such as beds, sofas, coffee tables, etc. It was definitely a small rest room.
