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

"But this time when I came back, my parents wouldn't let me go out again. I don't know why they insist on keeping me at home."

I was afraid of this, so I've been holding back from going home all these years. I thought that since they saw how much money I made this time, they wouldn't stop me from doing business in Hong Kong.

I can't believe they were threatening to break my legs and stop me from running around yesterday. I'm going to the port city to do business, not to have fun.

Xu Shaoyang didn't necessarily want to go to Hong Kong to do business; there were plenty of opportunities in Shenzhen as well. He just wanted to be away from home.

He grew up under the care of his family, and he wanted to go out and make his own way in the world.

"Xu Shaoyang, do you know? I'm so envious of you."

Xia Yichu truly envied him; his parents were loving, his siblings got along well, and the elders doted on Xu Shaoyang to the core.

If Xu Shaoyang had any regrets in his past life, it would be that he couldn't see his grandmother one last time when she passed away.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time, apparently because Xu Shaoyang had a hotel room with a popular celebrity.

His family called him, but the woman's phone was off. He didn't find out until he woke up the next day that his grandmother had already passed away by the time he got home.

Not long after this incident, the celebrity was blacklisted by Xu Shaoyang, and she cried in front of the camera, saying that she did not do it on purpose.

Anyway, after making a scene and realizing it was useless, they started revealing Xu Shaoyang's private affairs. What happened in the end? Xia Yichu had no idea.

"Envious of me?"

Xu Shaoyang looked at Xia Yichu with some doubt. Xia Yichu nodded slightly, her eyes full of longing.

"You have family who care about you. Even though they don't let you go out, it's out of love. I'd be willing to have family looking after you, even if it's just like this, where your freedom is restricted."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shaoyang was deeply moved. He suddenly realized that the "constraints" he had been trying to escape were precisely what Xia Yichu longed for but could not obtain.

Half of what Xia Yichu said was Xu Shaoyang's opinion. She grew up without parents, so she definitely had some regrets, but not many.

She has her maternal uncle and aunt, her older brother and sister, and her younger brother by her side, making her happier than some people who have their parents around.

"But they can't restrict my freedom. I'm all grown up now, and I want to go out and explore on my own."

"There is no conflict. The port city is not far from Shenzhen. It only takes two hours to drive there and back."

You can discuss with your aunt and uncle about going home two or three times a month, and calling home more often when you have time. Your aunt and uncle will definitely agree.

You're twenty-two now, and they know it's unrealistic to keep you locked up all the time.

Moreover, Xu Shaoyang has been doing well in Gangcheng these past few years without any major incidents, which puts his parents at ease.

"Okay, I'll talk to them. No matter what, I'm going to Hong Kong. Yichu, you have no idea, doing business in Hong Kong is like finding gold everywhere."

Xu Shaoyang excitedly gestured his name, completely forgetting the injury on his face.

"The market there is open, and there are many business opportunities. I made a lot of money by buying stocks and investing in real estate there before."

Oh, and I also opened a nightclub and an arcade. In Hong Kong, you're guaranteed to make money if you do business.

"You make me want to come over right now. Besides these businesses, what other businesses do you do?"

Xia Yichu listened for a while but didn't hear Xu Shaoyang mention anything about the entertainment company, and she was getting a little anxious.

Xu Shaoyang smiled mysteriously, "I plan to start with the clothing trade. Fashion trends in Hong Kong are updated quickly, and many styles are very popular in mainland China. I can import goods from Hong Kong and then sell them in Shenzhen or other places."

Xia Yichu nodded. "That's a good idea. Anything else?"

Xu Shaoyang's business is different from what he did in his previous life. In his previous life, he partnered with others to run entertainment companies, restaurants, and the dance halls and game arcades he mentioned. I don't think I've ever heard of him doing the clothing business.

"That's all for now, that's all for now."

In order to get more money back for Xia Yichu, Xu Shaoyang had already taken back all his real estate and stock investments, leaving only two nightclubs and five arcades.

"Xu Shaoyang, haven't you considered investing in entertainment companies or other industries?"

"No, right now I'm thinking of investing in the apparel trading industry, which is the industry I'm most optimistic about. Of course, I'll consider doing other businesses later when I have enough funds."

Speaking of entertainment companies, I recently met someone who wanted to get something for nothing.

"Get something for nothing? What's going on?"

Xia Yichu asked curiously. Xu Shaoyang curled his lips and said, "This person came to me and said that he had a few promising newcomers and wanted to get me to start an entertainment company together."

He didn't have a single penny, yet he wanted half the shares, saying these newcomers were guaranteed to become huge stars. I immediately refused; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Xu Shaoyang didn't take it seriously, but Xia Yichu became agitated. Xu Shaoyang had once said on camera that he was partnering with someone to start an entertainment company, and at first, Xia Yichu thought that person was a fraud.

Unexpectedly, all the artists he took a liking to, whether actors or singers, became famous. Thanks to him, Leyang Entertainment Company is what it is today.

"Xu Shaoyang, is his name Zheng Leran?"

Zheng Leran, Xu Shaoyang's partner in his past life, has an exceptional eye for talent; every artist he chooses becomes a star.

"Yes, as for whether his surname is Zheng, I don't know. Wait, Yichu, how do you know his name, and even his surname?"

Xu Shaoyang looked at Xia Yichu in shock. He didn't even know her surname. How did Xia Yichu know it?

"Don't worry about that, Xu Shaoyang. We're going to Hong Kong tomorrow. Take me to see him and we'll discuss the cooperation."

Xia Yichu couldn't wait to go to Hong Kong, fearing that Zheng Leran would find someone else to cooperate with.

"No, how can I go out and face people like this?"

Xu Shaoyang realized he had been so excited talking to Xia Yichu that he had already pulled the blanket off. He quickly covered his face again, leaving only his eyes showing.

"Take this bottle of ointment and apply it yourself later. Apply it several times today, and your face will be much better tomorrow."

Xia Yichu took out a bottle of ointment from her pocket. The ointment contained a little bit of spatial water. Xia Yichu had prepared quite a lot in her spatial storage, but fearing that the effect would be too strong, she only added a few drops of spatial water.

Although it's only a few drops, the effect will definitely be better than before. Even if it can't make Xu Shaoyang fully recover by tomorrow, it can at least reduce the swelling on his face.

"It still doesn't work, I can't drive with my feet."

His father hit him hard this time; his leg wasn't broken, but it was badly swollen. It hurts a lot now, and he won't be able to drive tomorrow.

"I can drive, I'll drive."

Xia Yichu wasn't lying. Last summer, she went to learn to drive and also got her driver's license.

"This…"

Xu Shaoyang was speechless and couldn't give a reason for refusing. Xia Yichu thought he didn't believe in her skills.

"Don't worry! I have a driver's license."

"No, I didn't mean to doubt you."

"If there's anything else, just tell me, and I can work with you to solve it."

Xia Yichu said with disdain, "Why is Xu Shaoyang, a grown man, acting so fussy?"

"Yichu, that person is a swindler. Hong Kong is a chaotic place with lots of swindlers. I encountered quite a few when I first arrived and got scammed myself. Besides, the entertainment industry is a murky place; I'm afraid we'll get taken advantage of."

Xu Shaoyang tried to persuade her earnestly, but Xia Yichu clearly didn't take his words to heart.

"Xu Shaoyang, believe me, he's not a liar. Convince your family tonight, and I'll come see you at eight tomorrow morning."

After saying that, she left without waiting for Xu Shaoyang to refuse, just as Xu's mother came up to call her down for dinner.

Xu Shaoyang didn't want to go downstairs, so he waited until Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou left before sneaking down to eat.
