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

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yichu washed up, changed her clothes, and went to class, leaving her at home only to worry anxiously.

Pei Shizhou reported the situation to his superiors and went home. Yang Yunxia recognized him, and since it was daytime, he couldn't go to Feixia Road. His superiors arranged for others to investigate, and he planned to go again that night in disguise.

As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to call Xia Yichu, but the phone rang for a long time without being answered. Thinking that Xia Yichu was probably in class, Pei Shizhou didn't call again, took a shower, and went back to his room to sleep.

Yu Rongbing was sleeping at home. Lin Xingyuan didn't go out with him last night; he went to find Xia Zhiqian early this morning.

Yesterday, Lin Xingyuan returned from Yu Mengxi's place and told Xia Zhiheng about the compensation Jiang Jinning wanted. Xia Zhiheng agreed without hesitation and then called Xia Zhiqian.

Xia Zhiqian had no objections; he couldn't wait for the matter to be resolved quickly, and asked Lin Xingyuan to go to the bank with him to withdraw money in the morning.

"Xingyuan, please give the money to them. I won't go with you."

Xia Zhiqian didn't want to see Jiang Jinning. Although they hadn't done *that* kind of thing, they had still slept together naked, and meeting would inevitably be awkward. Jiang Jinning certainly didn't want to see him right now either.

"Okay, no problem."

He figured it would be better to go himself; after delivering the money, he wanted to find an opportunity to spend time with Jiang Jinning. However, thinking about how Xia Guoan still hadn't been heard from, these thoughts faded considerably. He decided to wait until he rescued Xia Guoan before making any decisions.

"Xingyuan, thank you."

Lin Xingyuan waved his hand, "Don't be so polite with me, we're all family."

After saying that, he grabbed the money and hurriedly left. Upon arriving at Jingyi Garden, he went straight to the sales office. As soon as he entered, Yu Mengxi saw him.

"Lin Xingyuan, I'm here."

Yu Mengxi's eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled the haggard-looking Jiang Jinning over.

"Hello, Ms. Yu."

"Hello, this is my good friend Jiang Jinning. Jinning, his name is Lin Xingyuan. Don't be afraid, he's a very nice person."

Jiang Jinning looked up at Lin Xingyuan, then immediately lowered her head again.

"Hello, Ms. Jiang."

Lin Xingyuan greeted her politely, but Jiang Jinning didn't speak, just nodded and hid behind Yu Mengxi.

"Miss Jiang, how about we find somewhere to talk for a while?"

"Okay, let's go sit in the pavilion inside the community."

Although most of the houses in the community have been sold, the schools around the community have not yet started construction.

Furthermore, their houses haven't been renovated yet, so there's no way they'd move in. Therefore, there aren't many people in the neighborhood, and no one will bother them while they talk.

Yu Mengxi pulled Jiang Jinning along with Lin Xingyuan to the pavilion in the residential area. After sitting down, Lin Xingyuan handed Jiang Jinning a bag containing 20,000 yuan in cash.

"Miss Jiang, this is the compensation from the Xia family."

Jiang Jinning stared blankly at the bag of money, not reaching out to take it. Seeing that she hesitated to take the money, Yu Mengxi excitedly took it for Jiang Jinning.

"Lin Xingyuan, thank you. Xiao Ning, take this, it's what you deserve."

While thanking Lin Xingyuan, Yu Mengxi put the money into Jiang Jinning's arms.

"Yes, Miss Jiang, please accept it without worry."

Jiang Jinning's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled as she said, "Thank you, thank you all."

Tears streamed down her face as she spoke. Without Yu Mengxi's encouragement, Jiang Jinning felt she would have been driven to despair. Yu Mengxi quickly comforted her.

"Xiao Ning, don't cry. Live a good life from now on. We won't rely on anyone else; we'll be our own strong support."

"Miss Jiang, Zhiheng and Zhiqian asked me to tell you this. They said that if you ever need any help in the future, you can go to them, and they will definitely help you if they can."

Yu Mengxi was quite impressed with the Xia brothers after hearing this. Jiang Jinning had no family to care for him, so getting a promise from Xia Zhiheng was a good thing.

He's the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, after all. Even if he's having trouble at home right now, what if the trouble is resolved in a few days? In short, this is a good thing for Xiang Ning, a win-win situation.

"Really? That's great!"

Seeing Yu Mengxi so happy, Lin Xingyuan sighed inwardly. He wondered if Yu Mengxi would be furious if she ever found out that Jiang Jinning's troubles were due to the Xia family.

"It's absolutely true. If you need any help, you can contact me. By the way, my sister Xia Yichu bought two houses in this neighborhood."

Lin Xingyuan found out this morning; Xia Zhiqian just told him, and he's still feeling dizzy.

"The nouveau riche who bought two houses is actually your sister? I remember now, Miss Xia seems to have mentioned that Xia Zhiheng is her cousin."

Yu Mengxi was so surprised that she blurted out the words "nouveau riche".

"If my sister knew you called her a nouveau riche, she'd be upset for a long time."

Lin Xingyuan said with a laugh, while Yu Mengxi said nonchalantly, "Being a nouveau riche is great. I want to be one, but unfortunately I don't have the ability."

"Miss Yu, Miss Jiang, why don't you take out the money and count it?"

Jiang Jinning didn't know what to do, so she looked at Yu Mengxi. Yu Mengxi quickly said, "No need, I trust you."

"This money was just withdrawn from the bank by Zhiqian this morning, and I think it's fine. Of course, you can count it now."

"Really, no need. Lin Xingyuan, go sit in the sales office for a while. I'll treat you to lunch."

It was not yet ten o'clock, and Lin Xingyuan hesitated, thinking that Xia Guoan was still missing and he had to go back to help.

"No, I have something to do at home. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"No way, I promised to treat you to dinner, so I have to pay."

Seeing Yu Mengxi's resolute attitude, Lin Xingyuan had no choice but to agree. He figured he could invite her back next time.

"Okay, by the way, it's not safe for you two girls to carry so much cash. Should I take you to the bank now to deposit the money?"

Yu Mengxi and Jiang Jinning exchanged a glance, and then Jiang Jinning nodded to Yu Mengxi.

"Okay, thank you for your help. Please wait here for a moment, we'll go back and get the passbook."

"Miss Yu, let Miss Jiang go back and get it herself. You take the money and wait here with me."

Lin Xingyuan wanted to spend time alone with Yu Mengxi, but he didn't know if Yu Mengxi would accept his suggestion.

"Xiao Ning, is it okay?"

Yu Mengxi turned to ask Jiang Jinning for her opinion. Her home was in the building behind the pavilion. From here, they could see her home, so they could see Jiang Jinning on her way back.

"Um"

Jiang Jinning had no objection; she also felt bad leaving Lin Xingyuan waiting there for them.

She had a good impression of Lin Xingyuan; he was indeed as warm and welcoming as Yu Mengxi had described.

"Take your time, there's no rush."

"Okay, Xixi."

Jiang Jinning turned and walked quickly towards home, while Lin Xingyuan and Yu Mengxi waited in the pavilion.

Lin Xingyuan looked at Yu Mengxi and mustered up his courage to start a conversation.

Miss Yu

You can just call me Mengxi.

"Okay, Mengxi."

Lin Xingyuan was in a good mood, and a blush rose on his face and ears.

"I think you are a really good person, very kind, and you take good care of Jiang Jinning."

Yu Mengxi was a little embarrassed by the praise and said with a smile, "It's nothing. Xiao Ning is so pitiful. I'll help her if I can."

Seeing how kind Yu Mengxi was, Lin Xingyuan felt even more favorably toward her.

"Do you live in Jingyi Garden? It seems like not many people live in this community."

"Yes, Xiaoning's family doesn't care about her. Luckily, I have a place here, so I moved in with her."

He wanted to say something more to get closer to her, but Jiang Jinning took the passbook and came over.
