Chapter 309 Li Qin's Admonition
During this period, people still attached great importance to collective honor.
If a "bad person" appears in a group, or if something bad is said to happen.
Then the whole group will lose face.
Therefore, as soon as the deaf old woman spoke, the expressions of the crowd, who had been watching the show with amusement, immediately changed.
At this point, they didn't care what He Yuzhu was thinking; they just went along with what the deaf old woman said.
The deaf old woman had experienced so much that she immediately saw through these people's thoughts, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face again.
"Now that everyone understands, I won't say anything more. It's getting late, and I'm getting old, so I'll go back and rest first."
Now that the matter has been suppressed, the deaf old lady naturally won't stay any longer.
Upon hearing her words, the older woman quickly stepped forward to help her up again and then took her back to the backyard.
It has to be said that the deaf old lady was quite clever; with just a few words, she easily suppressed the matter.
After the deaf old woman left, Jia Zhangshi glared at He Yuzhu's house before turning around and going home.
As for the other people around, they gradually dispersed.
Li Qin and Xu Damao, who had already left, were unaware of what happened afterward at the Intermediate Court.
After Li Qin and Xu Damao left the Intermediate People's Court, they went straight home.
"Da Mao, please make yourself at home. There's water on the table; please help yourself if you want some. Don't be shy."
This wasn't the first time Xu Damao had visited Li Qin's home.
So after hearing Li Qin's words, Xu Damao didn't stand on ceremony and immediately found a chair in the living room to sit down.
Then, very casually, he poured himself a glass of water.
Li Qin simply smiled at this, showing no dissatisfaction whatsoever.
In fact, at the beginning, Li Qin could sense that Xu Damao had some ulterior motives in approaching him.
In addition, due to the original plot, he still harbored some dislike for Xu Damao.
They just didn't show it.
Normally, our interactions with them are merely superficial.
However, as they spent more time together, Li Qin gradually discovered that Xu Damao was not as bad as he had imagined.
Later, Li Qin also realized what was happening.
By the time the story begins, eight or nine years have passed.
Xu Damao had already experienced a lot by then, but now he's just a clever and quick-witted young man.
In essence, Xu Damao is not a bad person at all, not even a villain.
Over time, Li Qin and Xu Damao became acquainted and even developed a certain friendship.
Li Qin is quite friendly towards people he approves of.
In addition, Li Qin sometimes felt bored by himself, so he would invite Xu Damao to his home for a visit.
Whether it's chatting, having tea, or having a meal together...
After getting used to it, Xu Damao became much more relaxed at Li Qin's house.
However, Xu Damao is a smart man. Although the two have a good relationship, he does not blur the necessary boundaries.
He never wandered around Li Qin's house unnecessarily.
Unless Li Qin gives his permission.
Having grown accustomed to modern life, Li Qin was very satisfied with Xu Damao's tact and understanding.
"Li Qin, why were you in such a hurry to leave? I wanted to stay a little longer."
After taking a sip of water, Xu Damao put the glass on the table and then said with some doubt and disappointment;
"It's rare to see He Yuzhu being blocked at the door and verbally abused, and the key point is that He Yuzhu can't even refute it."
Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Li Qin couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
Sometimes Li Qin really wondered if Xu Damao had some special feelings for He Yuzhu, otherwise why would he be focusing on He Yuzhu alone?
Of course, Li Qin also knew that this was just his wild imagination. Given Xu Damao's greedy and lustful nature, how could he possibly have any special feelings for He Yuzhu?
At most, it's just that the two people's birth charts don't match, and they're inherently incompatible.
After a helpless sigh, Li Qin had no choice but to explain to Xu Damao:
"You know best what caused what happened tonight. Although my words have temporarily shifted the focus to He Yuzhu."
However, some flaws cannot withstand scrutiny:
If we stay there, there's a high chance someone will notice the flaw in my words, and then you'll have a hard time getting away.
Therefore, after gaining an advantage, we should leave in time, so that people's attention will no longer be on us when we are gone.
This is the least risky approach.
Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Xu Damao's eyes.
He knew that it was true that he had spied on Qin Huairu, but only he knew whether he had any real thoughts at the time.
Now that Li Qin had exposed him, Xu Damao was still somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing this, Li Qin couldn't help but say earnestly:
"Da Mao, we have a good relationship, so I'll be frank with some things."
Upon seeing Li Qin's serious tone, Xu Damao immediately forgot his embarrassment and sat up straight to look at Li Qin.
Li Qin continued;
"Logically speaking, everyone has a love for beauty, and I can understand that you like to look at pretty people, but you'd better tone it down a bit."
You were lucky today because I was there to help you, which is why you were able to get away.
Have you ever thought about what would happen if I weren't there, and you were to fight against He Yuzhu alone, plus the biased Yi Zhonghai?
What was your final outcome?
Li Qin couldn't help but sigh, then continued with a heavy expression:
"If you're lucky, at most you'll be humiliated or beaten by He Yuzhu. If things get worse, you'll be dealt with by the Jia family."
Most importantly, your reputation will be completely ruined. Have you thought about how much this will affect your work and life?
To put it bluntly, if someone deliberately tries to harm you, it can significantly impact the rest of your life.
Xu Damao hadn't thought about it deeply before, but after Li Qin said it, he immediately realized what was going on.
Xu Damao's face immediately turned gloomy and serious.
As someone born and raised in this era, Xu Damao is even more aware of how much influence reputation can have on a person.
Moreover, Xu Damao was well aware that there were many people in the courtyard who looked down on him and the Xu family.
If these people are given the opportunity, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and kick us while we're down.
He will then be truly socially dead.
Thinking of this, Xu Damao couldn't help but shudder.
Then he looked at Li Qin with a grateful expression;
"Thank you, Li Qin. I'm so grateful to you for being here this time, otherwise I would have been completely finished."
Xu Damao's tone was sincere and earnest, and Li Qin could tell that the other party's words of gratitude came from the heart.
Seeing that Xu Damao had realized the seriousness of the matter, Li Qin's expression softened slightly.
However, Li Qin couldn't help but remind Xu Damao in the end:
"Da Mao, our courtyard house really lives up to the saying 'shallow waters breed many turtles,' you've offended quite a few people here."
You'd better be careful in general, otherwise you never know when someone might set you up.
