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

"Xiao Chu, don't worry! I told the Wang family not to say anything about these things when they came, so as not to worry your uncle."

Pei Shizhou eventually softened, seeing Xia Yichu terrified by Lin Weidong, and couldn't bear to see her continue to live in fear.

"Shizhou, thank you. I'm so glad you were here."

Xia Yichu looked at Pei Shizhou with gratitude. Pei Shizhou was so considerate; he was practically her soulmate.

"Don't be too happy yet. Uncle Xia and Uncle Wu both know about this. I was able to stop it once, but I don't know if I can stop it a second time."

You've done so many dangerous things behind my back, shouldn't you give me an explanation?

He hadn't been able to find an opportunity to question Xia Yichu, so he brought it up briefly when the topic came up.

"Shizhou, you go back and keep an eye on my uncle. Make sure neither of them talks about me in front of him. Or, why don't you take my uncle out for a trip and make sure they don't meet?"

Xia Yichu was extremely nervous, hoping that her uncle wouldn't find out about Yang Dazhi during his two days in Pengcheng, and didn't pay attention to Pei Shizhou's last question.

"And what about me! Shouldn't you give me an explanation? Stalking men and filming them cheating. Xiao Chu, how dare you meddle in everything?"

I'm not saying there's nothing that can't be solved. If you're in a real hurry, you can ask Song Qihang for help, or at the very least, you can call me.

Even though I'm not by your side, I can still help you solve any problems. Also, why did you go through all that trouble on your own before finally asking Uncle Wu for help?

Pei Shizhou was getting a little angry by the end. Xia Yichu wasn't treating him like a girlfriend; she didn't tell him anything.

Xia Yichu looked up guiltily and was relieved to find that she and Pei Shizhou had unknowingly arrived at the school gate.

She took Pei Shizhou's hand in a fawning manner and said, "Shizhou, let's talk about these things after my uncle gets back, okay? I need to go to class now. You should go back!"

Pei Shizhou looked at Xia Yichu helplessly, gently tapped her nose, and said, "Alright, we'll talk about it when your uncle gets back. You should focus on your studies and stop doing these things."

Xia Yichu nodded hurriedly and entered the school like a well-behaved little rabbit.

Pei Shizhou returned to Xia Yichu's house, where Lin Weidong was waiting for him at the door.

"Shizhou, I heard you opened a company in Shenzhen. Could you show me around?"

Lin Weidong was full of anticipation. He had heard that Pei Shizhou was doing business, but he didn't know how well he was doing. Since he had some free time now, he had to take a good look and give Xia Yichu a heads-up.

He didn't have high requirements for Xiao Chu's partner, nor did he require him to be rich or powerful. However, he couldn't let Xiao Chu earn her own living expenses; he had to ensure her basic quality of life, at least enough to eat and drink without worry.

Most importantly, he has good character and genuinely likes her. He can't be like Chen Shaoping, approaching her with ulterior motives. Right now, Pei Shizhou seems quite good; he's satisfied with him in every way.

Lin Weidong understood from Xia Guoan's ambiguous remarks yesterday that Xia Guoan looked down on Pei Shizhou. However, he didn't take Xia Guoan's judgment seriously.

Anyway, Xiao Chu is still studying and there's no rush to get married. He has plenty of time to get to know Pei Shizhou. He has a biased view of soldiers; Pei Shizhou looks upright and doesn't seem like the kind of person who would cheat or shirk responsibility.

"Uncle, that's fine."

Pei Shizhou thought it would be a good opportunity to take Lin Weidong out for a walk, so he agreed. He locked Xia Yichu's door, took the car keys, and let Lin Weidong get in.

"Shi Zhou, what kind of business do you run? Is this car yours?"

As soon as the car started moving, Lin Weidong asked curiously, "Sedans aren't cheap; I've heard the cheapest ones cost tens of thousands."

"Uncle, I mainly do building materials and real estate business. My maternal grandmother owned many restaurants and hotels, but she's getting old, so she's handed them over to me to manage now."

This car is mine; I bought it for the company. The company is in a rather remote area, and it's not easy to get a taxi. Having a car makes it more convenient for company employees to get around.

His maternal grandmother was among the first to venture into business; her family had been merchants for generations. In that particular era, they were forced to donate their entire fortune to the state and close their businesses to survive.

When the reform and opening up came, his grandmother could no longer resist returning to her old trade. She took out her savings to start a business, and over a decade, she slowly built it up from a few small restaurants.

"I heard from Guoan that you only have one uncle. He was the one who examined me when I went for a medical check-up last year."

Shi Zhou, don't take offense at my bluntness. Now that you've taken over your grandmother's business, won't there be any disputes later?

Lin Weidong thought Pei Shizhou was just running a small business, but he never imagined it would grow to such a large scale. It even involves his maternal grandmother's family and the family business, and Lin Weidong is just a grandson. He didn't want Xiao Chu to get involved in any trouble that might arise later.

Yes, perhaps Pei Shizhou's maternal grandparents and uncle are good people, but what about his aunt and uncle's child? Money can corrupt people's hearts; he doesn't need Xiao Chu to be wealthy. Nor does he need Xiao Chu to bring them wealth; he just wants her to be happy, healthy, and joyful.

"Uncle, no, my uncle is unmarried. And even if my uncle marries and has children and takes back my grandmother's business, I will not let Xiao Chu suffer."

You've met my uncle. We won't fall out over money. Neither my uncle nor I would do such a ridiculous thing, and my maternal grandparents wouldn't allow it to happen either.

If my uncle gets married, I will immediately hand over my grandmother's business to my aunt. It's only because my uncle has no interest in running the business, and my grandmother is too old and lacks the energy, that I'm taking over these businesses.

What Pei Shizhou didn't say was that he always kept the money he earned from his own business separate from the money he earned from his grandmother's business. Initially, he did indeed invest his grandmother's money in the building materials and real estate development businesses.

In just two years, he made a lot of money and bought a lot of land, planning to build shopping malls. Currently, two of his malls are open for business and have already started making a profit.

The building materials business is gradually getting on track. He only needs to hire people to do the work and doesn't need to do anything himself. He has the supply of goods and customers, so all he needs to do is purchase goods and collect payments. Now he focuses all his energy on real estate.

"Okay, then I'm relieved. Shizhou, Xiaochu is still young. It's fine for her to date, but you can't do anything reckless."

"Uncle, I know."

Pei Shizhou, his ears red, said that he understood Lin Weidong's meaning, that he was not in a hurry and could wait.

Upon arriving at the company, Lin Weidong looked at the impressive office building with amazement in his eyes. The location was indeed as remote as Pei Shizhou had said, but that was not a problem.

Pei Shizhou said that he had bought all the land near the company, and that he had built the company building himself, so there was no need to pay rent.

Pei Shizhou showed him around the company, introducing him to various business opportunities. As Lin Weidong listened, he kept praising him, "Shizhou, you're really something, running this company so well."

Pei Shizhou responded with a smile, while in his mind he was thinking about how to make Lin Weidong happy during his two days in Pengcheng, and also to keep an eye out for him to find out about Xia Yichu's affairs.
