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

"Excuse me, may I ask you about someone? If you need any help, you can also tell me. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I'm a police officer."

Xia Zhiheng saw that she was a girl crying so sadly, her face was red and swollen, and wondered if she needed help.

"I'm fine, thank you."

Upon seeing that the other person was a man, Jiang Jinning subconsciously took a few steps back. She only breathed a sigh of relief when Xia Zhiheng said he was a policeman, but she still looked at him warily.

"Okay, don't be nervous. I just wanted to ask you which building District Chief Jiang Zhixue lives in?"

"Why are you looking for him?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinning did not answer his question, but instead became wary of him again.

"You are Jiang Jinning."

Judging from her expression, Xia Zhiheng could roughly guess who she was.

"Who are you?"

The girl didn't deny it, and Xia Zhiheng knew he had guessed correctly.

"Hello, I am Yang Yunxia's other son, and Xia Zhiqian's older brother, Xia Zhiheng."

"What do you want? I've already called the police. Don't try to threaten me."

Jiang Jinning knew that Xia Zhiheng was the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. Although she had only been working for a few months, people in the unit envied Yang Yunxia very much, and they often talked about Yang Yunxia's family affairs.

Jiang Jinning stayed at the Xia family's house for half a month and knew more than they did. She knew that the two Xia sons hadn't even eaten at Yang Yunxia's house during the Spring Festival, so she knew that Yang Yunxia's relationship with her two sons wasn't that great.

"You've misunderstood. There are some things I'd like to ask you."

Xia Zhiheng didn't care why Jiang Jinning was in such a sorry state. He felt lucky to have met Jiang Jinning here.

"I don't know anything, don't look for me."

After speaking, Jiang Jinning pulled her suitcase and prepared to leave, but Xia Zhiheng stopped her.

"Miss Jiang, I'm here to see you as Xia Zhiqian's older brother. I don't mean anything by it; I just want to know what happened that night."

"Release it, or I'll call for help."

Fearing that he would anger Jiang Jinning, Xia Zhiheng quickly let go of her hand and then followed her at a distance.

"Ms. Jiang, whether you believe it or not, my brother may also be a victim."

Jiang Jinning laughed in anger, stopped in her tracks, pointed at herself, and said, "You mean I'm the one who ruined him?"

"No, it's possible that my mother ruined you two."

"Xia Zhiheng, you two brothers are too shameless! To exonerate Xia Zhiqian, you're even willing to push your own mother out as a scapegoat."

"That's not how it is, I'm serious. This matter is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it to you in a short time. But I assure you, everything I've said is true."

Jiang Jinning was too lazy to argue with Xia Zhiheng and pushed her suitcase forward.

"Ms. Jiang, really, you have to believe me. If you don't believe me, we can wait for the forensic results to come out before we talk about it."

"Both you and my brother need to have your blood tested. If neither of you tests positive for sedatives, I promise I will never bother you again, and my brother will be sentenced as he deserves."

Seeing Xia Zhiheng's confident assertion, Jiang Jinning began to have doubts. No matter how tired she was, she couldn't possibly be sleeping so soundly that she wouldn't wake up if someone did that kind of thing to her.

"Okay, I'll wait. I must know the truth."

"Thank you, Ms. Jiang. If you are both victims, I hope you can be lenient and spare my brother. My sister-in-law is pregnant, and she has had a miscarriage and is still in the hospital."

Since this happened in my house, my family will definitely take responsibility for you. Feel free to make any requests you may have.

As Zhou Wenbin said, even if Xia Zhiqian was drugged, he still bears responsibility for the wrong things he did to Jiang Jinning after waking up.

Not to mention, the person responsible for these tragedies might very well be his mother. No matter what, Jiang Jinning is a victim, the most innocent person.

He and his brother felt they had to make it up to her, but Xia Zhiheng knew that no matter how much they tried to make amends, they could never undo the mistakes his mother had made.

"I want Xia Zhiqian to divorce his wife and marry me. Would he be willing?"

"Impossible. You can have money or a house, but divorce is absolutely out of the question. My sister-in-law and he have a very good relationship. Even if my brother gets divorced, he will never marry someone else. He will wait until my sister-in-law is willing to forgive him and remarry him."

Jiang Jinning didn't say anything more and walked towards the intersection again. She had been out for so long, and her father hadn't chased after her. Jiang Jinning's last bit of affection for him had been extinguished.

"Miss Jiang, please think it over carefully. You won't be happy if you force a man you don't like to marry you."

Xia Zhiheng didn't know how to comfort her. After meeting Jiang Jinning, his worries hadn't lessened at all.

Jiang Jinning's father is the deputy district head, and her family is well-off. Money and houses should not be of much appeal to her.

"You're so annoying, can you please stop talking?"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Please don't be angry. This is my home phone number. You can call me if you need anything. We can talk things over."

Xia Zhiheng took out a pen and a piece of paper from his bag and quickly wrote down two phone numbers. One was for his home, and the other was for his office.

"Take this, I'm leaving right away."

Jiang Jinning took the paper and put it in her bag so he could leave as soon as possible. Seeing that she had accepted it, Xia Zhiheng left without saying another word.

Jiang Jinning found a secluded place to sit in a daze. Within two days, the neighbors around her, who had spread the word about what happened to her, would know. Now she didn't know where she could go.

Thinking about it, she suddenly broke down in tears, wishing her mother were still here. After her mother passed away and her father remarried, her two uncles had cut off all contact with the Jiang family and were no longer in Kyoto. She had always been a pitiful little girl no one wanted.

Meanwhile, at the Jiang family's house, Jiang Zhixue wanted to chase after her. However, Su Xue clutched her waist, which had just bumped into the table, and cried out in pain, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Zhishen could no longer care about his daughter and wanted to take Su Xue to the hospital. Su Xue didn't want to go, afraid of running into Jiang Jinning, but Jiang Zhishen softened and brought her back.

So she asked Jiang Zhixue to bring her some medicinal wine to rub on her wounds, which took a little time. By the time Jiang Zhishen came out, Jiang Jinning was no longer visible.

Jiang Zhixue was surprised to find his daughter still hiding in a corner crying. He didn't see Jiang Jinning go home again, and Jinning didn't see him either.

Why did you come back?

Jiang Jinning's face was streaked with tears as she looked at Xia Zhiheng with a pitiful yet stubborn expression.

"Don't you have anywhere to go?"

Xia Zhiheng had just left this place and was hungry because he hadn't eaten lunch yet. He randomly picked a small restaurant to eat at, but since it was already one o'clock, no one was eating there.

He was eating, and the restaurant owner was chatting with the owner of the grocery store next door. From them, Xia Zhiheng learned about Jiang Jinning's background and that she had a sweet-faced but ruthless stepmother.

Thinking of her earlier disheveled state, Xia Zhiheng quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, paid the bill, and hurried back to find Jiang Jinning. It took him quite a while to finally find her.

"What's it to you?"

"Come home with me"
