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

"I won't go into too much detail. In short, give your uncle 50,000 yuan to build a house for them. You don't need to write an IOU. Consider the money as a gift to your uncle and them. I'm not asking you to buy each of them a house."

Yang Yunxia didn't think her request was excessive; it was only 50,000 yuan, and her son could easily come up with that. After all, he was her uncle, and only they would help her in the future. What use was Xia Yichu, a girl?

"No."

Xia Zhiqian refused with a dark face. After learning that he was rich, he never expected that his own mother would be the first to come to his door asking for money.

Now he needs money to build a house, then he'll need to buy furniture, and he'll also have to pay for the dowries of his cousins' weddings.

Thinking further ahead, if their child is born and they can't afford to raise it or send it to school, does that mean he should also pay for it? His mother's willingness to support her family is her business; she shouldn't try to drag him into it.

"Xia Zhiqian, I'm your mother. What's wrong with asking you for 50,000 yuan?" Yang Yunxia said angrily, slamming her hand on the table.

Xia Zhiqian deeply regretted not driving yesterday. If he had, his mother wouldn't be blocking his way here today demanding money.

"Auntie, it's not unreasonable for you to ask Qian for 50,000 yuan, but you can't give away his hard-earned money to someone else."

Zhou Miaoying arrived shortly after Yang Yunxia. She overheard the mechanic saying that the mother and son were talking inside. She hadn't come in from outside, but hadn't specifically listened to their conversation. They were talking very loudly, and feeling indignant on Zhiqian's behalf, she couldn't help but come in.

"This is between my son and me, what's it to you?"

Xia Zhiqian wanted to speak, but Zhou Miaoying stopped him. Zhou Miaoying knew she shouldn't have come in at this time; it would only make Yang Yunxia dislike her more. She didn't care; as long as Xia Zhiqian cared about her, that was enough.

"Auntie, do you know that Ah Qian has escaped death several times over the years while driving a truck? He has a knife scar on his back from being slashed by robbers, and all sorts of other injuries on his body."

Zhou Miaoying reached out and took off Xia Zhiqian's shirt. Yang Yunxia said from the side, "What are you doing? You shameless woman."

"Look at Ah-Qian's scar... Uh, Ah-Qian, what happened to the knife scar on your back? What medicine did you use? It works so well, there's not a trace of it at all."

"I don't know! I didn't use any scar removal cream, is it really gone? I can't see it myself."

Zhou Miaoying thought of something and looked at his arms and other parts of his body. The small scars from his previous injuries were gone, without a trace, as if he had never been injured.

"Ah Qian, see for yourself."

"How is that possible? I really didn't take any medication."

Xia Zhiqian couldn't understand it either. He hadn't paid attention to it before and didn't know how the scars on his body could suddenly disappear.

"A girl with no shame, pulling at a man's clothes. Zhiqian, I won't allow you to marry her."

"Mom, I..."

Zhou Miaoying pulled Xia Zhiqian close and kissed him directly on the lips. She wanted to show Yang Yunxia what shamelessness was. Xia Zhiqian felt the softness on his lips and, disregarding his mother's presence, took the initiative, embracing Zhou Miaoying tightly and kissing her passionately.

They've been together for several years and are very respectful of each other; they often hold hands but rarely kiss.

Zhou Miaoying was afraid that Xia Zhiqian, being young and impulsive, would not be able to resist kissing her, so she dared not let him kiss her. They only kissed once or twice occasionally, and each time it was just a quick peck before they parted.

"You you you"

Yang Yunxia was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time, and walked away with her face flushed red.

"Waaaah, let go!"

Zhou Miaoying noticed that Yang Yunxia had left, and tried to push Xia Zhiqian away, but couldn't. After a long while, Xia Zhiqian reluctantly pulled away from her lips.

"Ah Ying, don't move." Zhou Miaoying buried her head in Xia Zhiqian's arms.

"Ah-Qian, are you ready? I'm hot."

Xia Zhiqian was not wearing any clothes, and the continuous heat emanating from him was transmitted to Zhou Miaoying.

"Ah Ying, I want to get married right away. I'll bring my grandparents to your house tomorrow to propose."

They had been dating for several years without getting married, partly because of his mother, but more importantly because Zhou Miaoying's parents couldn't bear to see her marry so young.

Two months ago, he finally managed to persuade his master and mistress to agree that the wedding room was already prepared, fully furnished, and ready for immediate move-in.

"Your mom"

Zhou Miaoying also wanted to get married; she saw that Xia Zhiqian's sister-in-law's child was becoming more and more adorable. Overwhelmed by maternal love, she also wanted a child.

"Don't worry about her. Go back and tell your master and mistress. I'm going to buy some things and also tell your grandparents to come and propose marriage tomorrow."

"But"

"No buts, I can't stand it if we don't get married soon."

Zhou Miaoying blushed and nodded, then hurriedly ran out. Xia Zhiqian watched her retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips. He quickly dressed and went to prepare the things for the marriage proposal.

His mother disagreed, but with her grandparents around, she didn't dare to cause trouble; at most, she would just not attend their wedding.

The two were so engrossed in their happy married life that they forgot to dwell on the fact that Xia Zhiqian's scars had disappeared.

Yang Yunxia felt a tightness in her chest after leaving them. Before she knew it, she walked to Xia Guofang's house, where several people were gathered at the door.

"Thieves are so brazen these days; even her nanny, who's always home, can have things stolen," said one of the onlookers.

"Do you think it's possible that the nanny stole it from her own home?" an older woman speculated.

"Impossible. Her nanny has been working there for many years. The Luo family is only starting to lose things now, so it definitely wasn't her." Someone else started to object.

"That's true," the others nodded in agreement.

"Since it wasn't her nanny who stole anything, we don't know if anything was missing from our house."

As soon as one of them said that, everyone realized what was going on. Yes! That possibility couldn't be ruled out.

"I need to go home and take a good look at things."

"Me too"

In less than a minute, only Yang Yunxia remained at the door. She went into Xia Guofang's house, where two policemen were questioning Xu Yumei, while Xia Guofang sat to one side with a gloomy expression.

"Guofang, what happened at home?"

"Sister-in-law, you're here. Several gold bars have gone missing from the house."

After Yang Yunxia came over in the morning and told her she wasn't going to the mall, she felt it would be pointless to go alone and didn't leave. On a whim, she checked her jewelry and didn't notice anything was missing at first.

She had too much gold jewelry, some of which she had never worn. Then she picked up the box containing the gold bars and noticed it was much lighter. Opening it, she discovered that half the gold bars were missing.

Then she realized something was wrong. After thinking about it again, she realized that two of her gold necklaces seemed to be missing. She remembered that Luo Hao had bought her a heart-shaped pendant gold necklace, and she had bought a similar one for herself at the time, but now she only had one left.

She couldn't recall gold rings, gold bracelets, or gold earrings, but it felt like something was missing.

"Okay, that's all for today."

The two police officers spoke to Xu Yumei, then stood up and said to Xia Guofang, "Comrade Xia, think carefully about what else you lost besides the gold bars. Also, roughly when did you lose the items, and have any strangers visited your home recently?"

"Okay, thank you for your help."
