Xia Yichu didn't get up until after nine o'clock the next day. She wanted to get up earlier, but she couldn't. She got home at two o'clock last night and didn't fall asleep until three or four o'clock.

Having learned from yesterday's experience, she washed up and knocked on Xu Shaoyang's door as she passed the second floor, urging him to get up quickly.

"Xu Shaoyang, Xu Shaoyang, get up quickly."

"it is good"

Xu Shaoyang mumbled a reply, but Xia Yichu ignored him and went downstairs by herself.

Sister Wang downstairs steamed meat buns and porridge for her. Before eating breakfast, Xia Yichu told Sister Wang that guests would be coming to her house at noon and asked her to buy more groceries to cook.

Because it was getting late, Sister Wang quickly went out to buy groceries after hearing this.

After Xia Yichu finished breakfast, Xu Shaoyang still hadn't come downstairs. Remembering that Pei Shizhou hadn't answered her call yesterday, she called his company again to ease his worries.

The call was quickly connected, and Pei Shizhou's deep voice came from the other end.

"Hello, this is Pei Shizhou."

Xia Yichu called yesterday, but Pei Shizhou didn't answer and got angry with Xie Zekai. He told him to go home and reflect on his actions, and not to come to work for the next few days.

"Shizhou, it's me."

"Xiao Chu, I called you so many times last night but you didn't answer. I was so worried."

Pei Shizhou said with a wronged expression that he had put aside all his work this morning and waited here specifically for Xia Yichu's call.

"I told Assistant Xie yesterday that I wouldn't be home so soon. Didn't he tell you?"

"Yes, but I called you in the early hours of the morning and you didn't answer."

Pei Shizhou called every ten minutes last night, but no one answered until 1 a.m.

If Gu Yunting hadn't been absent, he would have arrived in Hong Kong today. Pei Shizhou had no choice but to call Gu Yunting today to inquire about his grandfather's condition.

The Gu family said that Gu Yunting was taking care of his grandfather at the hospital. Pei Shizhou then asked for the hospital's phone number, as he wanted to talk to Gu Yunting.

The Gu family hesitated and said it was inconvenient, so it seemed he would have to go to Gu Yunting's house. Ever since Gu Yunting called him after arriving home, Pei Shizhou hadn't spoken to him. Every time, the Gu family said he was busy, and that something must have happened to him.

"Xu Shaoyang took me to see his nightclub, and I chatted with some friends for a while, so I got back quite late."

Xia Yichu didn't hide anything from Pei Shizhou. The two of them had been through so many years together, so they still trusted each other to some extent.

"Oh, so where do you live?"

"Xu Shaoyang's family bought a villa in Gangcheng, and I'm staying at his place for now. I'll go look at houses in a few days, buy a house, and then move out."

Fearing that Pei Shizhou would be angry, Xia Yichu told him about her own plans.

"Buying a house is a good idea. We can buy one near Xu Shaoyang's house. Do you have any money on you? I can transfer some to you."

Just like Xia Yichu said, no matter what, Xu Shaoyang has been in Hong Kong for several years, and with him around, Pei Shizhou feels much more at ease.

"No need, I have money."

Besides the dividends Xu Shaoyang gave her, Xia Yichu also had over a million yuan in cash. Pei Shizhou paid for the materials to renovate the two houses in Kyoto, and her older brother Lin Xingyuan renovated the houses for her.

Lin Xingyuan works as a contractor in Kyoto. With Pei Shizhou's help, he is doing very well and has made a lot of money in the past two years.

So Xia Yichu didn't spend a single penny, and both houses were already rented out, generating a monthly rent income. Adding to that the house Xia Guoan gave her, she could earn thirty to forty thousand yuan a month just from rent alone.

"Alright, just say so if you don't have money, no need to be polite with me."

Pei Shizhou desperately wanted to go to Hong Kong to help Xia Yichu buy a house, but he simply couldn't find the time.

"Okay, I understand."

"Xiao Chu, I miss you so much..."

Pei Shizhou wanted to say some sweet words to Xia Yichu, but Xu Shaoyang's doorbell rang, and Xia Yichu interrupted him.

"Shizhou, someone's here. I'll call you later. Bye."

Without waiting for Pei Shizhou to speak, she hung up the phone. Then, with a smile on her face, she went to open the door. Outside were Zheng Leran and the others, a total of four people, two men and two women.

"Boss Xia"

Last night, after Liang Qinian and Xiao Wangshu returned home, Liang told him about Xu Shaoyang's willingness to invest in their entertainment company.

She even specifically told him about Xia Yichu's relationship with Xu Shaoyang, and said that it was thanks to her that Xu Shaoyang was able to agree so readily.

Zheng Leran originally wanted to come earlier, but Liang Qinian stopped him, and he insisted on waiting until ten o'clock before arriving.

Xia Yichu warmly invited them in, "Come in, come in, don't be shy."

When they came in, Xia Yichu invited them to sit down and went to the refrigerator to get each of them a bottle of soda.

"Boss Xia, where's Boss Xu?"

Zheng Leran felt uneasy because she didn't see Xu Shaoyang.

"He's upstairs. Please sit down. I'll go and call him down."

Why hasn't Xu Shaoyang come down yet? Has he not gotten up yet? Xia Yichu went upstairs, knocked on the door, and called out to him.

"Xu Shaoyang, are you up yet?"

Xu Shaoyang was startled awake by the knocking on the door; it seemed that Xia Yichu had called him once earlier.

Oh no, if Xia Yichu finds out he hasn't gotten up yet, will she get angry with him again?

"Zheng Leran and the others are here. Are you up or not? Can you hear me? What are you doing? Say something!"

"Yichu, I'm up, I'll be right downstairs."

Xu Shaoyang quickly got up and ran to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

"Okay, hurry up."

The little girl next to Zheng Leran saw Xia Yichu leave and quickly asked Zheng Leran.

"Cousin, is she Mr. Xu's girlfriend?"

Xiao Wangshu sat quietly watching TV, while Liang Qinian was fully aware of Huang Cuiping's feelings. Putting aside her appearance, her personality alone was something most people couldn't stand.

"Cuiping, don't ask questions you shouldn't. This is Boss Xu's private matter, don't pry."

The girl pursed her lips and remained silent; she was Huang Cuiping, Zheng Leran's cousin. She had fallen for Xu Shaoyang at first sight, and she already felt threatened by the arrival of Xiao Wangshu in their home.

She doesn't know where this new partner of Xu Shaoyang has come from, and she's so young and beautiful. It seems like the two of them even live together. No, she needs to figure out Xu Shaoyang's relationship with her later.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Xu Shaoyang will be down in a bit."

"It's alright, we're fine, there's nothing wrong with us, no rush."

Zheng Leran had been here a few times, and he knew Xu Shaoyang was probably still sleeping. He should have listened to Liang Qinian and come after lunch.

"Boss Xia, what's your relationship with Boss Xu?"

Huang Cuiping asked impatiently, and Zheng Leran scolded her angrily with a dark face.

"Cuiping"

Xia Yichu then looked at her. She had a sweet and cute appearance, but wasn't particularly beautiful. He didn't recognize her; she probably wouldn't become a big star.

"Who is this...?"

"Boss Xia, this is my cousin, Huang Cuiping."

Xia Yichu retracted her previous thought; Zheng Leran's cousin was also a top-tier celebrity in her past life.

However, she's quite controversial, despite having incredibly good resources. Unfortunately, she's hopeless; if it weren't for her powerful cousin, she wouldn't have a place in the entertainment industry.

Why does she look like this now? It shouldn't be like this! And this isn't her name.

"Zheng Leran, how many cousins ​​do you have?"

I only have one cousin.

His aunt died in childbirth when she gave birth to his cousin. His uncle's family didn't want her because she was a girl, so his father took his cousin home to raise her. There were two brothers in the family, so everyone doted on their cousin.

"Oh"
