Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

At 11 p.m., Xia Yichu tiptoed to Xia Guofang's house to visit Xu Yumei and her son. She decided to call Wang Zhijie tomorrow and ask him to come to Kyoto to find Liu Yaohui; otherwise, she would be in a very passive position.

She knew nothing about Liu Yaohui's affairs, and with school starting in a few days, she wouldn't have time to keep an eye on him.

"Xiao Chu, where are you going so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Just as Xia Yichu opened the door, Lin Xingyuan called out to her, startling her.

"Big brother, you startled me! Why aren't you asleep yet? I can't sleep and I want to go for a walk."

"Perfect timing, I can't sleep either, let's go together."

He just found out today that Xia Yichu had been kidnapped, so he definitely has to keep a close eye on her. He knew as soon as Xia Yichu opened the door to her room.

"it is good"

Xia Yichu knew they couldn't go to Xia Guofang's house tonight, so she took Lin Xingyuan for a walk. There was a street full of restaurants nearby. The aroma of barbecue made Xia Yichu a little hungry.

"Big brother, let's go get some barbecue."

Lin Xingyuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xia Yichu's hungry look. "Okay, let's go eat then." The two found a barbecue stall and sat down.

"Brother Hao, order whatever you want to eat, it's on me tonight."

Xia Yichu had just sat down when she heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw Liu Yaohui sitting next to them. There were five people at the table, including him.

"Come on, everyone, order whatever you want to eat. Ah Hui is treating today."

"Yes, order whatever you like, it's on me."

Liu Yaohui spoke grandly, but his heart was bleeding. He had begged and pleaded with his mother for a long time before she finally gave him a thousand yuan, which he was just about to use to gamble at the casino.

He saw Li Hao and his group, whom he had gambled with at the casino, at the barbecue stall. Li Hao called out to him, which surprised and delighted him.

Li Hao had some connections with the casino manager, and he thought he might be able to borrow money from the casino through Li Hao, so he generously offered to treat everyone.

"Brother Hui, you're so generous. Boss, bring me a case of beer first, I want to toast Brother Hui first."

One of Li Hao's henchmen said that the others also joined in flattering Liu Yaohui.

"Okay, coming right away."

The boss came over carrying a case of beer and served them a few side dishes.

"Xiao Chu, do you know them?"

Lin Xingyuan frowned and asked, noticing that Xia Yichu was staring at the table next door. "The people at the next table don't look like good people."

"There's someone who looks familiar, maybe I'm mistaken. Hey bro, I want chicken wings, beef skewers, and corn."

"Okay, you sit here and you're not allowed to go anywhere else."

"it is good"

Seeing that Xia Yichu agreed, Lin Xingyuan went to order food. After he left, Xia Yichu heard Liu Yaohui at the next table bragging.

Perhaps because he was in Kyoto, he didn't brag to Brother Hao and his group about his family's business. He simply mentioned that he knew a big business tycoon and would introduce them to him later.

"Brother Hui, does your family also run a business?"

Liu Yaohui's expression was unnatural. This wasn't like Shenzhen, where he could brag all he wanted without any problem. But in Beijing, if he bragged and they asked him to take him home or to their office, he'd be exposed.

"No, I'm related to the business owner. He said he wanted to help me with my business, and I'm still considering it."

"Brother Hui, what's there to think about? It's great to have someone to guide you in doing business. If a relative were to lead me in business, I'd follow them without hesitation."

"The monkey is right, we should still do business if there's business to be done. We're waiting for you to make the business bigger and stronger, and lead us to a better life. Come on, let's have a drink, and hope that Ahui will lead us to get rich in the future."

Li Hao picked up a glass of wine, and the other henchmen quickly followed suit. They showered Liu Yaohui with flattery and offered him drinks. Liu Yaohui reluctantly raised his glass and clinked it with the others, but inside he was trembling with anxiety.

"Yi Chu"

Just as Xia Yichu was engrossed in watching, she heard someone call her name. Xia Yichu watched speechlessly as Pei Shizhou and Gu Yunting walked up to her. What kind of luck was she having today? Not only did she run into Liu Yaohui, but she also ran into the two of them.

Liu Yaohui also heard someone call Xia Yichu's name. He looked towards the next room and saw Xia Yichu sitting there by herself. He had no idea when Xia Yichu had arrived.

"Yichu, did you come by yourself?"

"Who are you? Xiao Chu, do you know them?"

Lin Xingyuan ordered the food and then went to the refrigerator to get two bottles of soda before coming over. He looked at Pei Shizhou and Gu Yunting warily.

Pei Shizhou knew Lin Xingyuan, but they were only nodding acquaintances. They had exchanged gestures before, and Pei Shizhou didn't know if Lin Xingyuan remembered him.

"Hello, my name is Gu Yunting, and I am a comrade-in-arms of Yi Chu's cousin. His name is Pei Shizhou. His maternal grandfather and Grandpa Xia are good friends. Shizhou even rescued Yi Chu when she was kidnapped."

After Gu Yunting finished speaking, he sat down next to Xia Yichu as if they were old friends.

"Company Commander Pei, we meet again."

Lin Xingyuan only remembered when Gu Yunting mentioned his name; Pei Shizhou was his idol back then.

"Yes! It's been years. I didn't expect you to still remember me. We must have a good drink tonight."

"Okay, by the way, where are you now?"

"I've retired from the military. You can call me Shi Zhou. I'm usually in Kyoto now."

Seeing the two of them chatting next to her, Xia Yichu said speechlessly, "Big brother, Pei Shizhou, aren't you tired of standing and talking? Come on, sit down!"

"Okay, Shizhou, let's sit down and talk."

"Okay, Yunting, go order some food and bring over a case of beer."

Pei Shizhou pulled Gu Yunting up and sat in his seat. Gu Yunting pouted, not daring to say anything, and ordered a lot of dishes, then asked the owner to bring over a case of beer.

Liu Yaohui and his group were already eating and drinking, but Liu Yaohui wasn't in the mood to chat with them. He was drinking and listening intently to what Xia Yichu and her group were saying, wondering if Xia Yichu had heard what he had just said.

"Shi Zhou, when are you going to be discharged from the military? Why would you want to be discharged?"

At that time, Pei Shizhou was highly sought after in the army, having become a company commander at a young age. It could be said that as long as he remained in the army, his future was limitless.

"I had to leave the army because my hand was injured," Pei Shizhou said casually.

"Come on, have a drink."

Lin Xingyuan looked at him with pity, picked up the wine that the boss had just brought over, gave Pei Shizhou a bottle and took one for himself, while Gu Yunting was still ordering food at the barbecue stall.

"it is good"

The two of them downed half a bottle in one gulp, and Xia Yichu glanced at it but didn't say anything.

"Shizhou, what are you doing right now?"

"Don't worry about me while I'm doing business, I'm fine."

He suffered a lot of setbacks after being discharged from the military, but now he feels really good.

"Your hand..."

"Don't use too much force, everything else is fine."

"Why are you two drinking? Yi Chu, would you like a bottle too?" Gu Yunting asked, handing a bottle of beer to Xia Yi Chu.

"no"

"no"

Lin Xingyuan and Pei Shizhou said in unison, both of them looking at Gu Yunting with unfriendly eyes.

"I was just kidding, come on, let's drink."

Xia Yichu watched them chat while drinking her soda. As expected of soldiers, they had so many topics to discuss and could talk endlessly.

The barbecue was served one after another, and we ate for an hour. Liu Yaohui and his group had finished their barbecue and said they were going to the casino. Xia Yichu watched as Liu Yaohui reluctantly paid up, and then she and her friends walked away arm in arm, swaying unsteadily.

"Xiao Chu, are there people you know inside? I noticed you kept staring at them," Lin Xingyuan asked.

"Yes, one of them is Chen Shaoping's cousin, and he's also the son of Xia Guofang's housekeeper."
