"Yi Chu"

Xia Yichu had just come out of school when Pei Shizhou came out of the gatehouse and called out to her.

"You only just returned to Beijing a few days ago, why are you in Shenzhen again?"

"Let's go back first, sir. We're leaving now."

Pei Shizhou arrived at the old man's place around 3 PM to wait for Xia Yichu to get out of school. He didn't ask any questions, and the old man chatted with him about Xia Yichu's school life.

Aside from the time when she first started university and Lin Xingcheng was still around, a lot happened. After Lin Xingcheng left, her life became very uneventful. The old man said that she kept to herself at school and rarely interacted with others.

"Okay, Pei. Come visit again when you have time."

"Okay, sir."

Xia Yichu glanced at Pei Shizhou. Aside from being cold and ruthless in front of the Pei family, he was always polite to others and rarely lost his temper. Thinking about it, it wasn't surprising; if he were like that, how could he have built such a large business?

"Yichu, I remember you promised your uncle you wouldn't put yourself in danger. You've only been back for a few days, and you're already risking your life for an outsider again."

"My uncle even told you about this. What kind of spell did you cast on him?"

Is it because Pei Shizhou told his uncle about her kidnapping that she trusted him so much?

"Your uncle and older brother both told me to keep an eye on you. If you continue to disregard your safety like this, I'm going to give them a call."

Upon hearing these words, Xia Yichu immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Pei Shizhou, how dare you! You're the one who caused me to fall into that deep pit when I was kidnapped. I bet my uncle doesn't know about that."

"He knows. I told him everything, including the fact that you stabbed Zhou Weimin with a knife."

"You even told my uncle this?"

"right"

Xia Yichu didn't want to talk to him and quickened her pace to go home. What kind of person is he! A grown man acting so gossipy, saying everything.

"Don't be angry. I won't tell your uncle and the others about this. But you absolutely must never do this again."

"If anything happens, you can call me. I'll try to find someone for you. You're a girl, don't take any more risks. Besides, as far as I know, Wang Mingpeng only worked for you for one day; he's not even a friend."

He had gotten these things out of Wang Mingpeng after getting off the plane. Knowing Xia Yichu as he did, she wasn't the type to meddle in other people's business. He still couldn't understand why she would interfere in Wang Mingpeng's affairs.

Xia Yichu didn't want to talk too much with Pei Shizhou. Just as she got home, she saw Huang Wei squatting at her door smoking. He seemed to be in a bad mood. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stood up, and stomped it out.

"Huang Wei, what brings you here again?"

Pei Shizhou looked at him with unfriendly eyes. This man named Huang Wei was not bad-looking. However, he was far inferior to him.

Huang Wei didn't notice Pei Shizhou; he was upset because his girlfriend had dumped him. He was usually the one dumping others, this was the first time he'd been dumped by a woman.

When he went to find his girlfriend with the sixty yuan he had borrowed from Xia Yichu, plus the money he had on him, he found her already wearing a dress, with an older man embracing her.

His girlfriend said he was too poor, unable to even afford a piece of clothing costing over sixty yuan, and she didn't want to live a hard life with him. She told him not to contact her again, and that she had a fiancé and was getting married soon.

"I'm here to return the money."

Huang Wei took out the money Xia Yichu had borrowed from him that morning and returned it to her. Xia Yichu accepted the money without asking any questions. She didn't like meddling in other people's business, so she didn't ask any questions.

"Then I'll be going now."

"it is good"

Huang Wei left dejectedly; he realized that being abandoned was a terrible feeling.

"Huang Wei, wait a minute, I have a job for you, do you want to do it?"

Pei Shizhou couldn't stand it anymore. Someone who didn't even have sixty yuan had to come to Xia Yichu to borrow money. He'd give him a job so he wouldn't have to come to Xia Yichu to borrow money again.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Huang Wei walked back, fully recharged. Could this be Boss Pei, the one who introduced Pengzi to the job?

"Go to Yunsheng Group to find me tomorrow," Pei Shizhou told him, giving him a detailed address.

"Okay, thank you, Boss Pei, thank you, Yichu. I'll be going now."

Huang Wei hummed a little tune and left happily. He knew that Boss Pei had given him the job because of Xia Yichu, so he was very grateful to Xia Yichu.

Is your company short-staffed? Can't you find people elsewhere?

"The company is indeed hiring a lot recently. I think he's much smarter than Wang Mingpeng, so let him try out for the sales department."

Pei Shizhou was telling the truth; Huang Wei seemed like the kind of person who spent all his time hanging out on the streets. He was thick-skinned and quick-witted. Most importantly, he knew Xia Yichu, so he could contact Xia Yichu if anything came up in the future.

"Okay, if you like it, then so be it. But let's make this clear first, this is the fourth time I've met Huang Wei. We're not familiar with each other, and I don't know him at all."

Xia Yichu likes to be upfront about things. She is very grateful to Pei Shizhou for arranging a job for Wang Mingpeng, but she never even considered getting involved in Huang Wei's affairs.

"I know, I definitely won't come to you if anything happens."

Ring ring ring!

Xia Yichu had just taken out her keys when the phone rang again. She immediately opened the door and went inside to answer it.

"Hello, it's me. Okay, I got it. You go back to Shenzhen tomorrow. Yes, don't worry about him."

Pei Shizhou listened intently in the courtyard. Judging from Xia Yichu's tone, it didn't seem to be a call from family members.

"You have to listen to me, take a plane back right now, okay, bye."

"Yichu, have you eaten?"

Xia Yichu shook her head. She had wanted to cook yesterday but hadn't managed to, and she was planning to cook again today. She hadn't expected Pei Shizhou to come to the school to find her, and all the ingredients were in her spatial storage, which wasn't convenient to take out now.

"Then let's go out to eat."

"No, I'm a little tired."

Xia Yichu meant that she wanted Pei Shizhou to go back so she could eat by herself.

"I'll go get some for you to eat. Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

Pei Shizhou left after speaking, and Xia Yichu didn't have time to refuse. However, she was in a good mood after finishing the call.

When she came home from school this morning, Wang Zhijie called her to tell her about Liu Yaohui borrowing money from loan sharks. Now he called again to say that Liu Yaohui didn't come home last night and just returned saying that he gambled away all his money last night.

He even said he would introduce Wang Zhijie to a loan shark, and that they could go to the casino that night to win back their money. Wang Zhijie wanted to stay in Kyoto, saying he had already refused Liu Yaohui's offer to let him borrow money from loan sharks.

Xia Yichu disagreed and told him to return to Pengcheng immediately. Liu Yaohui was no good person; all you needed to know was that he borrowed money at exorbitant interest rates and then gambled it all away.

What's more, Xia Yichu had planted a seed of trouble for him. Speaking of which, Xia Guofang is incredibly oblivious; how come she hasn't noticed the things are missing yet? What is she doing? Xia Yichu was worried for her.

Xia Guofang is currently spending time with her sister-in-law. Yang Yunxia has taken several days off because of Xia Zhiqian's matter, and Xia Guofang is taking her out to eat, drink, and have fun.

To be honest, the two of them had a lot of fun; Yang Yunxia hadn't been this relaxed in years.

"Sister-in-law, let's go to the mall to buy jewelry tomorrow. I haven't been shopping in a long time. I wonder if they have any new jewelry designs recently."

"it is good"

They had just returned from eating out and were chatting and laughing as they went back to Yang Yunxia's house.

"Eldest Sister"

Zhang Xiaohua was waiting for Yang Yunxia at her doorstep. Yang Yunxia hadn't visited her mother for several days. Her younger brother and sister-in-law had come to see her several times, and she had always promised to go back and see her mother when she had time. But she hadn't gone back, always saying she was too busy when asked.
