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

"No, not only did they not make things difficult for me, they even said they would apologize to me."

"Besides apologizing, my mother didn't ask for anything else."

Xia Zhiheng had some business at the bureau this afternoon, and he didn't get home until it was almost dark. As soon as he got home, Qingyan told him that his mother and aunt had come over around 2 p.m., saying that Xia Yichu had agreed to go to the banquet held at the old house for the children.

They also said Xia Zhiheng was busy, and the relatives would go and inform them. Xia Zhiheng didn't have time to tell Su Qingyan about what happened that morning; originally, the couple had also planned to hold the ceremony at the Xia family's old house.

So when Su Qingyan heard that Xia Yichu was willing to attend the baby's one-month celebration at the old house, she didn't object and agreed. Upon learning of these events, Xia Zhiheng, without even catching his breath, immediately went to Xia Yichu's house to find her.

"Yes, they asked me to persuade you to go back to the Xia family's old house to hold the full moon celebration. The implication was that you didn't go back to the old house to hold the banquet was because of me."

"I knew they weren't giving up. This was my decision, it has nothing to do with you. Xiao Chu, don't feel guilty."

"I didn't take it to heart. I'll still go to the Xia family's old house."

"No, you don't understand. I'll go talk to our relatives and friends and explain it to them. I'll tell them to come to our house tomorrow, not to the Xia family's old house."

After Xia Zhiheng finished speaking, he turned to leave, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Pei Shizhou standing in the same spot and walking back.

"What are you still doing here? Come with me."

"Brother Zhiheng, wait a minute. Don't bother with all that. We'll hold Xiaobo's one-month celebration at the old house. I'm fine. Your mother is right about one thing: we can't let the child suffer because of me."

Xia Yichu couldn't wait to see Yang Yunxia and her daughter turn against each other, and she wanted to see the Yang family court disaster. She had to create an opportunity for them.

She felt a little guilty towards her child, for making him suffer and causing a scene at his one-month celebration. However, it was alright; she would make it up to Xiao Bo in the future.

"I'm not upset. Don't worry about it. It's none of your business."

"Brother Zhiheng, since we've already notified all the relatives and friends, let's just leave it at that. Grandpa and Grandma Xia are getting old, so having the full moon celebration at the old house will make them happier. Let's not go through all that trouble, so they won't worry."

Xia Zhiheng thought it made sense, and stood there hesitating. His mother must have already invited everyone she could. If he changed his mind now, his relatives, friends, and grandparents would definitely ask why, and everyone would speculate whether he had a fight with his mother.

He didn't care, but he was afraid that others would target Qingyan. Between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law was the elder, and Qingyan would definitely suffer.

"Don't worry! I'll keep an eye on Yichu tomorrow," Pei Shizhou said as Xia Zhiheng faced his dilemma.

"Okay, then I'll leave Xiao Chu in your care tomorrow. I hope you can protect her well."

Xia Zhiheng didn't have any good ideas for the time being, but he still trusted Pei Shizhou.

"Zhiheng, have you eaten?"

Xia Zhiheng shook his head. Xia Yichu looked at the sky and saw that it was completely dark. She had actually chatted with Pei Shizhou for more than four hours. It was unbelievable.

"Let's go eat. What would you like to eat?"

"By the way, what are you two doing together at home? What are you doing?"

"After you left my aunt's house, I left too. On my way home, I ran into Shizhou. Neither of us had eaten, so we went out for a meal together."

Then we'll stay home, watch TV, and chat. Stop asking questions, hurry up and think of something to eat. It's almost seven o'clock, and I'm starving.

"A new claypot rice restaurant just opened near my house. We can eat there right away. How about we go there?"

Gu Yunting said it was run by people from Guangdong Province, so Xia Yichu should like it.

"Okay, I'm fine. Zhiheng, what about you?"

"Okay, let's go. Xiao Chu, I'll drive over on my motorcycle. Didn't you say you were hungry? I'll give you a ride faster."

Shi Zhou, isn't that a small shop called Bao Xiang, located at the intersection of Qianmen Street and Shilu Road?

Xia Zhiheng seems to have seen it before; the business is quite good. I wonder if it's that shop.

"Yes, Zhiheng, I'm hungry too. Can you give me a ride? It's more than ten minutes' walk from here."

Xia Zhiheng's face stiffened. He hadn't expected Pei Shizhou to be so shameless as to bring him along.

Knowing she might need him tomorrow, she couldn't directly turn hostile, so she could only say tactfully, "Is this inconvenient? How am I supposed to sit here?"

The motorcycle was quite large, easily seating three people, but Xia Zhiheng didn't want Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu to sit together.

"Let Yichu sit in the back, and I'll sit in the middle."

"no"

Xia Zhiheng immediately objected, while Xia Yichu had no problem with it, as long as she wasn't allowed to sit in the middle. She wasn't used to sitting between two grown men.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"You drive, I'll sit in the middle, and Xiao Chu will sit in the back."

"All right"

Pei Shizhou reluctantly took the motorcycle keys and got on, Xia Zhiheng followed suit, and then invited Xia Yichu to get on as well.

"Xiao Chu, slow down."

Two minutes later, they arrived at the location. It was a bit late, and there were only two or three people eating there. Xia Yichu got out of the car first and walked over.

"Boss, what else is there to eat?"

A row of stoves sat on the shelf in the shop, with seven or eight small clay pots steaming. Xia Yichu's stomach rumbled as she smelled the aroma of the food.

"We have braised chicken, spare ribs with black bean sauce, and seafood claypot rice. Which one would you like?"

The owner was talking while his hands continued to busy adding things to the casserole.

"I want claypot rice with spare ribs. Zhiheng, Shizhou, what kind of rice do you guys want to eat?"

"I'll have a serving of spare ribs too," Pei Shizhou said.

"Me too," Xia Zhiheng said, not wanting to be left behind.

"Okay, please go in and have a seat. It will be ready soon."

Pei Shizhou went over to find a table, pulled out a chair, and swept it with his hand.

"Yichu, please sit down."

"Thanks"

Xia Zhiheng looked at him with annoyance. Pei Shizhou was too cunning, always resorting to these little tricks.

"Zhiheng, what are you standing there for? Sit down quickly."

"snort"

Xia Zhiheng sat down angrily. Xia Yichu didn't notice what was going on between them; her eyes were on the claypot rice in front of the boss.

"Zhiheng, we still need to inform Grandpa and Grandma Xia about the Yang family's matter. Grandma Xia's health cannot be affected by any stress, so let them be mentally prepared."

Pei Shizhou was worried that the Yang family might cause trouble tomorrow, so he thought it best to inform the two elders first, no matter what they were planning.

"Okay, I'll go there after I finish eating."

Xia Zhiheng knew what Pei Shizhou meant, but he didn't know what his mother had said to his grandparents today!

In fact, Yang Yunxia is still at Grandpa and Grandma Xia's house. After going to her son's house in the afternoon, she went to Luo's house to ask Xia Guofang to invite those relatives and friends to come to her house for the full moon celebration tomorrow.

With her face bruised and battered by Xia Yichu, she naturally couldn't bring herself to visit her in-laws. Her in-laws would definitely have to come in person to discuss some things.

Fearing her in-laws would discover she'd been slapped, she used a lot of powder to cover the handprint. Fortunately, the swelling had mostly subsided. She even made a point of not tying her hair up, letting it down. She arrived just as dusk was falling, and the elderly couple didn't notice anything amiss after sitting for half an hour.

"My mother and I, along with our old colleagues and friends, make up two tables. Has Zhiheng mentioned how many tables we want to host?"

Her in-laws called and notified all their friends that they would be coming tomorrow.

"Dad, eight tables are enough."

Yang Yunxia's colleagues and family members occupied about two tables, and Xia's relatives also occupied about two tables. Because her parents-in-law went to the Northwest, many of her relatives no longer kept in touch.

Therefore, they didn't have many relatives, not to mention Su Qingyan, who didn't even have any family members from her own family. The remaining two tables were reserved for Xia Zhiheng and Su Qingyan, to invite some close friends and family members.
