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

Xia Yichu stayed at the Pei family's house all night, and only came out of her spatial dimension at nine o'clock. Now, apart from Pei Zongyu who is still sleeping, no one else is in the Pei family's house.

She put on the gloves she had taken from her spatial dimension, tied her hair up, and opened Pei Feng and Feng Yarou's room. She locked the door from the inside before starting to look for the recording pen.

The room was cluttered with many things, mostly belonging to Feng Yarou.

Xia Yichu looked around, and the first thing that caught her eye was the dazzling array of cosmetics on the dressing table. There were brightly colored lipsticks, and various powder compacts and eyeshadow palettes were neatly arranged.

The wardrobe was filled with Feng Yarou's beautiful clothes, including dresses, bell-bottoms, and batwing shirts, all popular styles in the 1990s. A fluffy teddy bear sat next to her pillow.

"Feng Yarou is really generous to herself, buying so much stuff. Is Pei Feng's salary enough for her to spend?"

Xia Yichu sighed for a moment, then began to search carefully. She started with the drawers, which contained many photos and trinkets.

The photos are group photos of Feng Yarou, Pei Zongna, and Pei Zongyu from childhood to adulthood, as well as some photos with Pei Feng, but there are very few. After going through them, I didn't find the voice recorder.

Then she checked the wardrobe, rummaging through the pile of clothes. Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside the door, and her heart jumped into her throat.

She quickly hid inside the closet, barely daring to breathe. Footsteps paused at the doorway, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then moved on.

Pei Zongyu was outside. He had woken up hungry and came downstairs to find something to eat. Passing by Feng Yarou and Pei Feng's room, he noticed their door was closed and stopped to take a look, puzzled.

Then he left to see what his mother had left for him in the kitchen. He opened the pot and found two steamed buns inside. It was too cold, so the buns were already cold, but he didn't mind. He took them upstairs and ate them under the covers.

Hearing that there was no sound outside, Xia Yichu breathed a sigh of relief and continued searching. Finally, she found the voice recorder in an old shoebox under the bed. Just to be safe, she hid in her spatial dimension, turned on the recorder, and listened to its contents.

She waited for a while, but the recorder showed nothing. Undeterred, she waited a little longer, but still nothing.

"Could it be that Feng Yarou and Pei Feng had a good relationship at this time, and she hadn't gotten him drunk yet, so she could secretly record him after getting him to talk?"

"That shouldn't be! If Feng Yarou had no grudges against Pei Feng, she wouldn't have had Pei Zongyu with someone else, and then let Pei Feng raise another man's son."

Xia Yichu couldn't understand it at all. Without the evidence in Feng Yarou's hands, she might not be able to stop Zhou Wenbin from killing Pei Feng. It was past ten o'clock, and fearing that Feng Yarou would return, Xia Yichu quickly came out of her spatial storage and put the recording pen back in its original place.

She opened the door and put the room back in its original position, then opened the window inside and climbed out. She had observed the area last night; the Pei family's house was in the far corner, and their room's window led to a narrow alley.

The alley was only wide enough for one person to pass through, and normally no one would use it. Sure enough, it went smoothly; she reached the main road without being noticed. She hailed a taxi and took it to Xia Zhiqian's house, getting off near his residence.

She found a secluded spot, hid in her spatial dimension, and changed her clothes and shoes. After checking the time, she retrieved something to eat from her spatial dimension. She ate her fill before emerging. She hadn't gone home all night and wondered if Pei Shizhou had gone to her house to look for her.

She hoped Gu Yunting could stall him and prevent him from going to her house. Otherwise, if he found out she hadn't come home all night, she wouldn't know how to explain it to him.

Pei Shizhou is currently at Zhou Miaoying's house. He and Gu Yunting were busy until after 3 a.m. yesterday. Gu Yunting didn't want him to go home and insisted that he stay and sleep at his place.

Pei Shizhou was initially reluctant to go to the company early tomorrow morning. However, Gu Yunting said that if he didn't go to the company for the meeting tomorrow morning, he wouldn't work either.

Left with no other choice, Pei Shizhou agreed and went to Xia Yichu's house as soon as he got off work. No one was home, and the bed was cold. Remembering that Xia Yichu had said she was coming to Xia Zhiqian's house the night before, he rushed over there.

"Shizhou, are you sure Xiao Chu said she wanted to come to my house?"

Zhou Miaoying's belly was much bigger than before. Xia Zhiqian had to leave Kyoto for two months, so Zhou Miaoying's parents moved in with her.

Zhou's father went to the market to sell things with her cousins ​​early in the morning, while Zhou's mother stayed home to take care of Zhou Miaoying. Now it's just Zhou Miaoying and her mother at home, and Zhou's mother is upstairs tidying up Zhou Miaoying's room.

"Sister-in-law, what Xiao Chu told me yesterday is definitely true."

"Wait a minute, let me ask my mom."

Zhou Miaoying has been eating and sleeping well lately, waking up early in the morning from hunger. After eating breakfast and resting for a while, she goes back to sleep and only just woke up a short while ago.

So she didn't know if Xia Yichu had come or not. Logically, she shouldn't have; if she had, her mother would have told her when she woke up. She was just afraid that her mother might be too busy and forget to tell her.

"Mother."

As Zhou Miaoying went upstairs, she called out to her mother, who was folding clothes for her. Hearing her daughter call her, she quickly came out of her room.

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you hungry again? There's chicken soup in the pot. I'll serve you a bowl first. You said last night you wanted to eat the noodles I made. I'll cook you chicken soup noodles later."

"Mom, I'm not hungry. I wanted to ask if Xiao Chu came to our house this morning?"

"No! I've been at home all morning and haven't gone out. Your dad bought the groceries at the market and had your older cousin bring them back."

"What's wrong? What happened? Is Xiao Chu missing? I'll go get your dad and brothers to help us look for her."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother rushed downstairs to make a phone call, but Zhou Miaoying stopped her. Everyone was worried about Zhou Miaoying and didn't want her to be left alone at home. Zhou's mother usually stayed home to look after her daughter.

If Zhou Miaoying needed anything, her father would buy it and then have her cousins ​​take turns bringing it back. In short, Zhou Miaoying would never be left alone at home; even if she was asleep, someone would stay with her.

"Mom, don't worry. Xiao Chu might be at my sister-in-law's or grandparents' house. Let's call and ask first. If not, we can call Dad and the others to come back and help look for her."

"Yes, we need to find out first. Let's go downstairs and make a call."

Zhou's mother helped her daughter downstairs, where Pei Shizhou waited anxiously.

Aunt Zhou

"Shizhou, don't be in a hurry."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shizhou knew that Xia Yichu had not been here that morning.

"By the way, did Xiao Chu say anything about coming over to our house?"

"Yes, she said in the morning."

"Okay, let's call Qingyan and her grandparents to ask."

Just as Zhou's mother turned around, Xia Yichu's voice came from outside.

"Auntie, sister-in-law, Shizhou, why are you all standing here?"

"Xiao Chu, where have you been? Didn't you say you were coming to your sister-in-law's house this morning? Why are you only arriving now?"

Pei Shizhou walked over, asking questions while taking the things from Xia Yichu's hands.

I just went shopping.

Xia Yichu pointed to the things in Pei Shizhou's hand, which were the things that everyone had bought for her to eat before. She picked some out from her space and gave them to Zhou Miaoying.

She didn't know if Pei Shizhou had come to her house to look for her, so she could only give a vague answer.

"It's good to be back, Xiao Chu. I'll go cook. You and Shi Zhou stay for dinner."

"Auntie, I've already eaten."

Pei Shizhou hadn't eaten yet, but he didn't mind. Since Xiao Chu was staying for dinner, he would stay too.

"Xiao Chu, the noodles my mom makes herself are so delicious, have some more later."

"Try my cooking."

Before Xia Yichu could refuse, Zhou's mother finished speaking and went into the kitchen to cook noodles.
