The two did indeed enjoy a good period together, with Pei Feng taking meticulous care of Zhou Wenhui. Grandma Zhou watched her daughter gradually emerge, filled with joy and anticipation for the baby's birth.

Thinking that perhaps this wasn't so bad, maybe she and Xia Guohua were just destined to be apart. As long as Pei Feng treated her daughter well for the rest of his life, he would definitely give her the benefits she deserved in the future.

When A-Zhou was seven or eight months old, her daughter came to our house looking dazed. When Grandma Zhou asked her why, she kept saying that she was fine and that she was just tired from taking care of the child.

Grandma Zhou didn't believe it. After making inquiries, she learned that her daughter and Pei Feng had argued less than two months after the baby was born. No one else knew the specifics, but Grandma Zhou asked her daughter to stay home for a while and secretly took Grandpa Zhou to find Pei Feng.

When they saw Pei Feng, the couple didn't say a word, just stared at him with serious expressions. Sure enough, after a while, Pei Feng knelt on the ground and recounted his story, then slapped himself hard across the face.

It turns out that she stole someone else's boyfriend without her daughter's knowledge. A month after her daughter gave birth, Feng Yarou came to her door and told her about her past with Pei Feng. Her daughter couldn't accept it, which led to an argument with Pei Feng.

"Grandma, Yichu, come in and have some tea."

Pei Shizhou saw that it was getting dark and the two of them hadn't come in yet, so he went out to look for them.

"Xiao Chu, let's go inside."

"it is good"

After hearing what Grandpa and Grandma Zhou said, Xia Yichu's suspicions about Yang Yunxia deepened. Yang Yunxia was no simple woman; perhaps Xia Guohua would marry her, and she was the real culprit.

Xia Yichu stayed at the Zhou family's house for another half hour before going home. Before leaving, Grandpa Zhou gave her several kinds of tea to drink at home, and said he would give her more next time if she liked it.

While she was at the Zhou family's house, she received a call from Grandma Xia, asking her to come over the next day. Even if Grandma Xia hadn't said anything, she would have gone anyway.

In the morning, Xia Yichu got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and opened the door, expecting to see Pei Shizhou as usual. There was indeed someone at the door, but it was Xia Zhiqian.

"Why is it you?"

"Who else could it be but me, Shi Zhou?"

"Hehe, that's not what I meant."

Sure enough, habit is a terrible thing. She was a little disappointed when she opened the door and saw that it wasn't Pei Shizhou. Xia Yichu quickly shook off that disappointment. Had she gone mad? She had to stay away from Pei Shizhou from now on.

"Get in the car, Grandma asked me to take you home. You haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you? What would you like to eat? I'll take you to buy it."

Xia Zhiqian didn't want to tell Xia Yichu that he had run into Pei Shizhou when he arrived, and that Pei Shizhou had told him to tell Xia Yichu that he had to go to the company for a meeting today.

Pei Shizhou also told him not to knock on the door when he arrived, saying that Xia Yichu was sleeping. Although Xia Zhiqian rolled his eyes at him and didn't say anything, he refrained from knocking when he arrived at Xia Yichu's house and waited for half an hour.

"Just buy a steamed bun, have you eaten yet?"

It's almost nine o'clock now. When we go to the Xia family's house later, Grandma Xia will definitely prepare a ton of food for her. She'll also urge her to eat non-stop, so Xia Yichu wants to grab a bite while she's there.

If she doesn't eat the food Xia prepares at the Xia family home, Grandma Xia will think she doesn't like it and will ask Grandpa Xia to go out and buy her favorite foods.

"I've eaten. Ah Ying cooked noodles for me. Xiao Chu, I'm getting married on the 16th of this month. I checked the calendar and it's a Monday."

You're taking two days off to attend my wedding; your sister, Ying, wants you to be her bridesmaid. Don't worry, I'll cover your round-trip airfare.

"Okay, Zhiqian, listen to me, buying a few houses in Jingyi Garden will appreciate in value faster than buying houses elsewhere."

Xia Yichu heard from Su Qingyan that Xia Zhiqian and Zhou Miaoying were looking at houses, and that they already had a house for their marriage, so they probably wanted to buy it as an investment. She kindly suggested it again, and then she'd see if Xia Zhiqian would buy it.

"Xiao Chu, I'm getting married, and I don't have that much cash on hand."

Xia Zhiqian was thinking that he couldn't let the Xia family's money be wasted there. His brother told him that he had also bought a house in Jingyi Garden.

Knowing that his brother's family only had so much savings, which they had all used to buy a house, Xiao Chu had also bought a house there. He only had seven or eight hundred thousand yuan left, so he couldn't listen to Xiao Chu and buy a house in Jingyi Garden.

He didn't know when the houses there would appreciate in value, and he really didn't plan to buy a house recently, so he needed to keep some money on hand for a rainy day.

Ah Ying's parents want to buy her a house as her dowry. They've been visiting many places with her these past few days, but they haven't bought one yet.

Where is your wedding room?

Seeing that Xia Zhiqian refused again, Xia Yichu stopped trying to persuade him.

"It's near my aunt's house. I bought the land myself and had someone build the house a few years ago. I'll take you to see it later."

The wedding room was built and decorated according to Aying's preferences. Only his grandparents and his brother and sister-in-law knew about this. His aunt and his mother still don't know where his wedding room is.

"Maybe next time. I'm going to my sister-in-law's for lunch, and I haven't bought my plane ticket back to Shenzhen yet! I won't have enough time later."

Xia Yichu had already visited their marital home in her previous life; she had just chatted casually earlier because she didn't know what to talk about. She planned to visit her grandparents for a while before going to Su Qingyan's house for dinner.

After dinner, we need to buy plane tickets. After buying the tickets, we'll wander around the neighborhood and then wait to catch our flight back to Shenzhen.

Xia Zhiqian glanced at her and said, "Pei Shizhou bought your plane ticket. I'll give it to you later."

You ran into him this morning.

"Um"

Xia Zhiqian didn't want to say more, and Xia Yichu didn't want to ask either. She was just a little restless and couldn't sit still. She noticed a steamed bun shop by the roadside.

"Stop the car! There's a steamed bun shop here. I want to go down and buy some steamed buns."

"it is good"

After Xia Zhiqian pulled the car over, Xia Yichu got out to buy a steamed bun and ate it right there on the roadside, using the wind to clear her mind of all the jumbled thoughts. Seeing her eating the bun, Xia Zhiqian got out of the car as well.

"Don't you have any other questions?"

"Yes, did you pay Pei Shizhou for the plane ticket?"

"He offered it to me, but he wouldn't accept it."

"Okay, I got it. I'll pay him myself next time I see him."

Hearing this, Xia Zhiqian felt relieved and took out his plane ticket from his pocket.

"Here's your plane ticket, take it. Pei Shizhou's family is complicated; he's not a good match."

After Xia Zhiqian gave her the plane ticket and said a few words, he got on the bus. Xia Yichu was stunned for a moment when she held the ticket. In her opinion, Pei Shizhou's family situation was not a problem at all. On the contrary, she thought it was quite good.

After all, her biological father, stepmother, and two adopted younger siblings were of no importance to Pei Shizhou. However, none of that mattered to her; she was still looking forward to living the same life as in her previous life with Xu Shaoyang.

After finishing her steamed buns, Xia Yichu wiped her mouth, composed herself, and got into the car. She had already put her thoughts of Pei Shizhou behind her.

A short while later, they arrived at Grandpa and Grandma Xia's house and heard the car. Grandpa and Grandma Xia immediately came out and, seeing that it really was Xia Yichu, the old couple beamed with joy.

Grandparents

Xia Yichu got out of the car and called to them, then went forward to help Grandma Xia.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I have to go now. Xiao Chu, I'll come pick you up at four o'clock to go to the airport," Xia Zhiqian said as he got out of the car.

"No need. I'll go to my sister-in-law's house for dinner, then go home to get my things. I can take a taxi to the airport myself."

"Why not? Xiao Chu, just have your brother pick you up at the airport," Grandma Xia said with a disapproving look.

"Yes, it's inconvenient for a young lady like you to take a taxi. Your brother can pick you up and help you carry your things."

"Grandpa and Grandma are right. Xiao Chu, remember to wait for me at home. I'll be there before four o'clock."

Xia Zhiqian didn't give Xia Yichu a chance to refuse, and drove away after finishing his sentence.
