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

Xia Yichu, the nouveau riche, remained silent, and Grandma Xia didn't want to discuss the topic any further.

"Really, I'm not lying to you. The salesperson said that person introduced a lot of relatives and friends to buy houses. One person even bought an entire building. Mom, the property will appreciate in value sooner or later, you have to believe me."

"Alright, you can leave now. I need to rest for a bit."

Grandma Xia found Xia Guofang annoying, so she sat on the bed and waved her hand to tell her to leave.

"Okay, Dad, you should rest too."

"Um"

"Grandma Xia and Grandpa Xia, you two rest. I'm going to see my sister-in-law and Xiao Bo."

She was going to Xia Zhiheng's house to find out how the investigation of Xia Guofang's family was going. She would come back to the Luo family later to watch the show, and Luo Hao would come back to see how Xu Yumei would clear her son's name.

"Okay, take care. Your brother will take you home."

"Grandma Xia, I'll be right back to keep you company."

Hearing that Xia Yichu would be back soon, Grandma Xia smiled broadly and agreed.

"it is good"

Xia Yichu closed the door for them and went out. Xu Yumei had already washed the dishes and was talking to Xia Guofang in the living room.

"Okay, go ahead! Come back early, my parents are having dinner at home tonight, so buy them lots of their favorite foods."

Xu Yumei glanced at Xia Yichu, then left with a bag and a wallet in her hand. Xia Guofang sat on the sofa and said, "Do you need me to drive you to Qingyan's house?"

"No need, I'll walk."

Xia Guofang didn't say anything, and Xia Yichu left. It wasn't far from here to Su Qingyan's house, about a half-hour walk. But Xia Yichu didn't go; she wanted to go with Xu Yumei.

She could no longer see her when she went out. Xia Yichu knew she must have gone to find Liu Yaohui, but she wasn't in a hurry. Wang Zhijie had told her where Liu Yaohui lived, so she slowly walked over.

"Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui, wake up."

Xia Yichu guessed correctly; Xu Yumei did indeed go to see Liu Yaohui. She told Xia Guofang that she had run out of many things at home and needed to go to the mall to buy more, so she came to see her son while she was out shopping.

"Mom, is it dark yet?"

"No, get up quickly. The Xia family suspects you of stealing. You should run! Going back to your hometown is fine too."

Liu Yaohui was not in a clear mind, and it took him a while to understand what his mother meant.

"Xiao Hui, are you even listening to me?"

"Mom, I haven't paid back the casino. How can I run away? They won't let me leave. Didn't you see the two people guarding the door?"

Yes, Xu Yumei saw it, but she was in such a hurry that she forgot about it.

"What are we going to do then? Are we going to wait for the police to arrest you, and then Xia Guofang and Luo Hao to fire me? This time you're arrested, and I don't have the money to bail you out."

"By the way, Mom, did you manage to borrow the money?"

In Liu Yaohui's mind, the people in the casino were far more terrifying than the police. He would rather be arrested by the police than be taken away by the people in the casino.

"I borrowed it; it's in the bag."

"Mom, how about this, we go to the casino now to pay back the money. Then I can leave Kyoto."

"Yes, yes, you're right! How come I didn't think of that! Get up quickly, we'll go pay back the money right now."

"it is good"

Xia Yichu avoided the people guarding Liu Yaohui and hid outside the window to listen to the mother and son discussing their countermeasures. She couldn't do anything in broad daylight, so she decided to seek help from Xia Zhiheng; she couldn't let Liu Yaohui escape.

"Hey, you two take me to that Brother Hao, I want to pay back the money."

Xu Yumei came out and spoke to the two men guarding Liu Yaohui. The two underlings in the casino looked at each other, and the older one immediately realized what was going on.

"No problem, but Liu Yaohui has to come along."

"I'm here, let's go."

The casino staff rested during the day and only started work at 7 pm. The two henchmen took them directly to the casino, where no one was. One of them stayed behind to watch over the two men, while the other went to call Brother Hao and a casino manager.

Xu Yumei sat anxiously on the sofa; it was already 2:20 PM. She needed to go to the mall to buy things, then go to the market to buy groceries before returning to the Luo family's house to cook. She had to leave before 3 PM, or she wouldn't have enough time.

"When will they arrive? I have other things to do."

"Wait"

The younger brother who brought them said one sentence and then ignored her. Xu Yumei paced back and forth anxiously.

He sat down next to Liu Yaohui and whispered in his ear, "Xiaohui, tell me, did you sell the gold bars and jewelry you stole from Xia Guofang's house? Did you gamble it all away?"

"Mom, I didn't steal her gold bars. I'm not stupid. If I stole gold bars, Xia Guofang would have noticed the things were missing in no time."

Liu Yaohui also lowered his voice and said, "If he really stole Xia Guofang's gold bars, would he still need to borrow money from loan sharks?"

"Impossible! Half of her gold bars are missing. Who else could have stolen them if not you?"

"It really wasn't me, I didn't steal it."

Enraged, Liu Yaohui shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the casino staff.

"Keep your voice down."

Xu Yumei wanted to say something more, but Liu Yaohui stood up and walked away in annoyance.

"Mom, let's talk about this when we get back."

Xu Yumei had no choice but to shut up, still believing in her heart that it was her son who had stolen it, probably because he had lost so much money gambling that he couldn't care less about anything else. He stole all of Xia Guofang's things, so what kind of nonsense is it to steal half of the gold bars?

Xu Yumei sat on the sofa waiting. Just as she was getting impatient and wanted to go back, Hao Ge and the person in charge arrived, saying they would come back to pay the money that evening.

"Auntie, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Brother Yaohui, please come and sit down."

When Hao Ge came in, he greeted the mother and son with a big smile and spoke to them in a very affectionate tone.

"Here's the money, count it."

Xu Yumei didn't want to waste time, so she reluctantly tossed the bag in her hand to Brother Hao. Brother Hao took it and handed it to the casino manager, who then had his underlings count it together.

"Brother Yaohui, come and sit here."

Hao Ge stood next to the sofa and beckoned to Liu Yaohui. Liu Yaohui dared not resist and walked over nervously.

"Brother Hao, my mom says there's definitely enough money."

Hao put his arm around Liu Yaohui's shoulder and said, "We brothers don't talk about money. Come and sit down."

"Xiao Hui, we'll leave right away after you pay us back. Hurry up and count the money, we have other things to do."

Xu Yumei went over and pulled her son away. This Hao guy had ill intentions. Her son's current state was inextricably linked to him.

"Brother Hao, my mom is right. I have something to do later, so I won't sit down."

Liu Yaohui stood up, and when Hao Ge touched him, he trembled all over.

"Ah Hao, that's 73,000 in total," the casino manager said.

"Now that the money is correct, give us an IOU."

Hao didn't say anything, picked up a lighter, and lit a cigarette. Xu Yumei didn't have that much time to stay here.

"Who said we have enough money? We're still short seven thousand three hundred dollars. Yaohui, don't you agree?"

Liu Yaohui turned pale upon hearing this; he knew what Brother Hao meant.

"You've gone too far! I've seen the IOU, it's clearly 73,000. I'm not afraid of you. My employer's nephew is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. I'll go to him and get justice for us."

Xu Yumei was just trying to scare them; she wouldn't even dare to report to the police, let alone find Xia Zhiheng.

"Auntie, don't worry, don't be angry. Let your son explain to you slowly. We're doing legitimate business, we don't cheat people."

"Mom, we still owe 7,300. We only paid back the money today, so we need to add today's interest."

"What? That much interest per day?"

Xu Yumei genuinely didn't know; she hadn't calculated or looked at it carefully yesterday. She only recognized the numbers, not the words, but she could do some arithmetic.

"Yes, 100 yuan a day will incur 10 yuan in interest."

Upon hearing Liu Yaohui's words, Xu Yumei nearly fainted. How was this any different from robbery?
