Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Daqing was overwhelmed with an indescribable emotion. He looked at Yuzhu's haggard expression and felt extremely sad. He knew that Yuzhu's worry was more due to her love and concern for him. So, he gently held Yuzhu's shoulders and comforted her with a warm voice: "I know you are worried about me, and I know you are doing this for my own good. I promise you that I will pay more attention to make sure I won't get hurt. But please believe that sometimes we need to face our true feelings in order to find true happiness."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Yuzhu's eyes, and he nodded slowly: "I understand, uncle. I will try my best to control my worries and follow your arrangements."

As Yu Zhu's attitude gradually calmed down, He Daqing also felt a sense of relief. He knew that this period of time together had made the relationship between him and Yu Zhu closer, and made him more determined in his feelings and decisions. At such moments, he felt an inner strength that enabled him to face various challenges in life and relationships.

He Daqing decided to go ahead with his plan and went to the market to prepare for the White Widow and the upcoming party. His heart was filled with expectations and hopes for the future, hoping that through his own efforts, he could bring more joy and warmth to everyone. At the market, while picking fresh ingredients, he was thinking about how to make these good wishes come true.

Back home, He Daqing and Yu Zhu prepared a sumptuous meal together. The kitchen was once again filled with rich aromas. Although Yu Zhu was still a little worried, he worked hard to devote himself to every detail, hoping to do everything to the best. He Daqing was also pleased and touched to see his efforts.

The afternoon party arrived as scheduled, and the White Widow arrived at He Daqing's courtyard on time. She was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, with a gentle smile on her face. Seeing her coming, He Daqing felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that this party was not only for food, but also for enhancing mutual understanding and feelings.

After the party started, everyone sat around the table, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. The interaction between the White Widow and He Daqing and Yu Zhu became more natural and cordial, and her smile and words and deeds revealed a warm charm. In this process, He Daqing gradually discovered that the White Widow's inner world was far richer and more complex than he had imagined. She was not just a widow, but also a woman who had experienced the ups and downs of life. He deeply admired her tenacity and wisdom.

As time went by, the atmosphere at the party became more and more lively. Everyone shared each other's life stories and discussed various interesting things. The conversation between He Daqing and Bai Guafu became more in-depth and sincere. Every conversation was a further warming of their feelings and a process for them to understand each other.

During this process, Yuzhu gradually let go of his worries. He watched the natural interaction between his uncle and the White Widow and felt a real sense of happiness. He knew that his worries and obstructions might just be due to his deep feelings for his family. Now, seeing the tacit understanding and happiness between the two, he gradually felt relieved.

After that party, He Daqing and the White Widow became closer and their interactions became more natural. However, as time went on, He Daqing gradually felt something was wrong. He began to notice that some of the White Widow's behaviors and words seemed to hide some unknown secrets.

A few days later, He Daqing accidentally found an old forgotten photo album while tidying up his study. He opened the album and saw that most of the photos were of the White Widow when she was young. However, in some of the photos, he noticed some familiar faces and backgrounds. These people and scenes made him feel a little familiar. Those photos seemed ordinary, but every detail made He Daqing feel uneasy.

"How come these people are here?" He Daqing muttered to himself, and he began to have some doubts in his heart. Although the people in those photos were very old, they seemed to have some connection with the living environment and background of the White Widow at that time. He decided to further explore this issue and find out the real background of the White Widow.

Not long after, He Daqing met with White Widow in the courtyard again. They sat on a bench in the courtyard, with the breeze blowing and the shadows of the trees mottled. He Daqing tried his best to make his tone sound natural, but the doubts in his heart made him unable to completely relax. "White Widow, do you need any help recently? I think there may be something you haven't told me."

Widow Bai was slightly startled when she heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked up at He Daqing, her eyes revealing a bit of confusion and uneasiness. "Mr. He Daqing, what do you mean? I don't have anything special to hide. It's just that my life recently has made me feel a little tired."

He Daqing's heart tightened, and he knew he had to carefully advance the topic. "Actually, I just want to get to know you better. After all, we have become friends. I found some photos, and some of the people in them look familiar to me. I found these photos when I was tidying up my study, and I was wondering if you could explain it."

The white widow's face changed slightly, she lowered her head, her hands trembling slightly. After a moment, she raised her head, with a hint of helplessness and relief in her eyes. "He Daqing, I think you have noticed something. I once had an unknown past, and the people in those photos are indeed related to my past."

He Daqing was filled with mixed emotions. He did not ask immediately, but waited quietly for the White Widow to continue. His heart was filled with deep concern for this woman, and he was also full of curiosity about her true background.

The White Widow took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "I once lived in an extraordinary environment. Those photos are part of my life record when I was young. At that time, my family and social status were different from now. There are many things in my past that I don't want to mention, and some experiences that make me feel guilty."

He Daqing was shocked and understanding when he heard her words. He knew that the White Widow's past might have many complicated stories, but he was more willing to believe in her kindness and truthfulness now. "White Widow, I don't want to judge your past too much. I just hope that you can be honest with me. If there is anything I can do to help you, please tell me."
