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

"Zhiqian, don't be afraid. We won't back down from our mistakes. We'll make amends however we can. Also,..."

Grandma Xia talked to Xia Zhiqian for a long time, and Xia Zhiqian would occasionally chime in. The others listened quietly without saying a word.

"Grandma, I'll take Zhiqian back first, and I'll come see you again in a few days."

Before they knew it, an hour and twenty minutes had passed. Xia Zhiheng couldn't help but interrupt Grandma Xia, saying that they couldn't delay any longer.

"Okay, Zhiqian, go back now! Don't worry about me here. You must take good care of yourself."

"grandmother"

Xia Zhiqian's eyes reddened, and he held Grandma Xia's hand tightly, choking back tears as he said, "Grandma, I will be good. I will come back to see you as soon as I have taken care of things."

Grandma Xia lovingly patted his head, fighting back tears as she said, "My good child, Grandma will wait for you."

Xia Zhiheng gently tugged at Xia Zhiqian's arm, signaling him it was time to go. Xia Zhiqian kept turning back, his gaze always fixed on Grandma Xia.

Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou helped Grandma Xia to the door. Grandma Xia stood at the door, her figure appearing somewhat frail. She waved to Xia Zhiqian, muttering, "Be careful on the road."

Xia Zhiqian got into the car and looked at Grandma Xia through the rear window, tears streaming down his face. Xia Zhiheng gently comforted him, "Don't be sad. We'll come back once things are resolved."

Xia Zhiqian knew that this farewell might be the last time he saw his grandmother. The car drove away, and Grandma Xia's figure grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared from sight.

After the car drove away, Grandma Xia swayed slightly, and Pei Shizhou reacted quickly to support her.

"Grandma Xia"

"grandmother"

"mom"

"Grandma"

Everyone quickly gathered around, but Grandma Xia waved her hand, indicating that everyone shouldn't worry.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired from standing for so long."

She looked in the direction the car had gone, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Grandma, let's go inside."

"Grandma Xia, let me carry you inside."

Before Grandma Xia could agree, Pei Shizhou carried her back. Grandma Xia wasn't feeling well and had no strength, so Pei Shizhou carried her directly back to bed to rest.

"Shizhou, could you bring that girl over here for me? I want to talk to her."

Grandma Xia was still worried about Xia Zhiqian; she wanted to see that girl. Forgive her selfishness, but she wanted to swallow her pride and plead with the girl on Xia Zhiqian's behalf.

If Xiaoqian is convicted of rape, his life will be over, and he might even lose his life because of it.

Grandma Xia knew Pei Shizhou's abilities; only he could help find the person in a short time. She feared she wouldn't last much longer, so this matter had to be dealt with immediately.

"Okay, Grandma Xia, I'll take care of it right away."

When Pei Shizhou hugged Grandma Xia earlier, he knew she probably wouldn't last much longer. He didn't dare delay and quickly went outside, with Xia Yichu following closely behind.

"Shizhou, Xiaochu, where are you going?"

Su Qingyan was holding Xiao Bo's hands as they walked at the doorway. Xiao Bo could stand now and loved having his hands held. Su Qingyan saw them hurrying out and looked up to ask a question.

"Sister-in-law, Grandma wants to see that girl, so Shizhou and I are going out to find her."

After saying that, Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou quickly left. Time was tight, and they didn't know if the girl would be willing to come back with them.

"Xiao Chu, wait a minute, I know where Jiang Jinning is. She and her friend should be in Jingyi Garden right now."

In the morning, Su Qingyan heard Jiang Jinning's friend say that she had been very busy lately and was going to work at Jingyi Garden. Su Qingyan watched the two of them go together.

"it is good"

Xia Yichu didn't have time to ask Su Qingyan why she knew where the girl was. She quickly drove with Pei Shizhou to Jingyi Garden. The journey there was quite long, taking three or four hours round trip.

At Jingyi Garden, Yu Mengxi was so busy at work that she barely had time to breathe, and even Jiang Jinning was forced to help out.

Many people with inside information have already started buying houses here, and quite a few have been sold recently. It was almost ten o'clock when the two of them finally caught their breath.

"Xixi, didn't you say that the houses in this neighborhood weren't selling? I saw that seven or eight were sold in just one morning, and the contracts were signed very quickly."

Currently, there is only Yu Mengxi as a salesperson and manager here, and both of them have been very busy lately.

"Xiao Ning, I heard that a school and a hospital will be built near Jingyi Garden."

So these people want to buy houses here, hoping to see prices rise and the property value increase. House prices have already started to rise, and they're changing daily.

"Luckily you listened to me last year and bought one first. If you had waited until now, the price would have increased by at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."

After buying her own apartment, Yu Mengxi kept urging Jiang Jinning to buy one too. Her situation was worse than Yu Mengxi's, and she needed her own apartment even more.

Jiang Jinning has saved up some money over the years, mostly from the money her father gave her and the New Year's money from relatives.

In addition, after working for a few months last year, she finally saved two-thirds of the money by the end of the year, and Jiang Jinning lent her the remaining amount.

She bought the 88-square-meter apartment across from Yu Mengxi's, but she didn't have the money to renovate it yet. Jiang Jinning originally wanted to stay at home to save money on rent.

She saved up some money to renovate the house, but her father went too far, creating opportunities for her to spend time with her stepmother's nephew.

Because her stepmother's brother-in-law was her father's secretary, he completely disregarded her wishes for his own career advancement.

"Xixi, given my current situation, I don't know when I'll be able to pay you back the money I owe you."

She definitely didn't want to work at the Education Bureau anymore. Her workplace wasn't far from home, and her colleagues knew what had happened to her. She was too ashamed to stay there and couldn't bear the strange looks she received.

Once the police have sorted out this matter, she wants to find a job far away, escape everything at home, and start a new life.

"Xiao Ning, I don't want the money I borrowed from you back. Consider it a donation to help you buy a house. The most important thing for you now is to handle this matter well and start your life anew," Yu Mengxi comforted Jiang Jinning by patting his shoulder.

Just then, a car stopped in front of the Jingyi Garden sales office, and Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou hurriedly got out of the car.

"Xiao Ning, that woman who's prettier than a celebrity is here. See her? She even bought two buildings here."

The manager was heartbroken after house prices went up. "Wait here for me a moment, I'm going to see what she's doing here. Is she here to buy another house?"

When Yu Mengxi saw Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu walk in, they looked around and she quickly walked over.

"Ms. Xia, hello, long time no see. You're here to buy a house again? Let me tell you, house prices have gone up recently..."

Xia Yichu quickly interrupted her, thankfully Su Qingyan had mentioned the girl's name before they came.

"Excuse me, we're not here to buy a house, we're looking for someone. Do you have a girl named Jiang Jinning here?"

"What do you want with her?"

Yu Mengxi looked at them warily. Xia Yichu could tell from her expression that she definitely knew Jiang Jinning. Xia Yichu then looked around the sales office; besides Yu Mengxi, there was only one other girl standing in the corner.

Yu Mengxi noticed Xia Yichu looking at Jiang Jinning, so she nervously went over and shielded Jiang Jinning behind her.

"What do you want?"
