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

The next day, Xu Shaoyang got up even earlier than Xia Yichu. He had already eaten breakfast and was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Because of the time constraints, he only inquired about investing in movies with a few acquaintances yesterday. No one was optimistic, especially the director Wang Qiushui, whom Zheng Leran mentioned.

People in the industry don't have a high opinion of him because he has made three movies in the past few years, none of which have made him a lot of money.

He had investors for his previous movies, but since the boss withdrew his investment, no one has invested in this one.

The money for making the movie came from his previous stock investments and the proceeds from selling his house. It can be said that Wang Qiushui invested all his savings this time.

Wang Qiushui's wife was so angry that she took the children back to her parents' home. She had already proposed a divorce to Wang Qiushui, but Wang Qiushui used his busy schedule as an excuse to delay going through with the divorce proceedings.

Xu Shaoyang sat on the sofa watching TV, but he was actually lost in thought, pondering many things.

At this moment, Xia Yichu came down from upstairs. Xu Shaoyang heard the sound, looked up, and saw Xia Yichu coming down the stairs.

"Yichu, you're awake."

"Hmm, why are you up so early today? Did something happen?"

Xia Yichu glanced at her watch; it was 9:30, confirming that she had gotten up around the same time as usual. Xu Shaoyang probably hadn't come home that early last night; she had heard him driving home, even though Xia Yichu had been asleep for quite some time.

Moreover, Xu Shaoyang was acting very strangely today. He didn't style his hair and wore casual clothes, which made Xia Yichu feel quite uncomfortable.

"It's alright, you go and have breakfast first."

"Have you got a meal yet?"

Xia Yichu asked curiously, "How early did Xu Shaoyang get up?"

"I've eaten. You should go and eat now. After you finish eating, I'll take you to meet a friend."

Xu Shaoyang figured that since Xia Yichu wanted to invest in a movie, he could take her to meet other directors. Yesterday, on a friend's recommendation, he planned to take Xia Yichu to meet one today.

It's not like we have to invest in Wang Qiushui's movies. If we want to promote Xiao Wangshu, we can invest money and let her play roles in other directors' films.

He and Xia Yichu invested one million in the film. Even if Xiao Wangshu couldn't get the lead role, she could still play the second or third female lead. If they were lucky, it could make her famous.

"it is good"

Xia Yichu didn't know who Xu Shaoyang was taking her to see, and she didn't ask. As long as it didn't interfere with her meeting with Wang Qiushui in the afternoon to discuss investment matters, that was fine.

Seeing Xia Yichu go to eat, Xu Shaoyang told Xia Yichu and then went upstairs to change his clothes.

He didn't wash his hair this time, just used hair gel to style it casually, and changed his clothes again before coming down.

"Yichu, are you done? If you're done, let's go."

Xia Yichu had just finished eating and sat down, intending to wait for Xu Shaoyang for over an hour. Unexpectedly, he was quite quick this time, coming down in less than half an hour.

"Alright, let's go!"

Xia Yichu stood up and turned off the TV. Before leaving, Xu Shaoyang said to Sister Wang, who was clearing the dishes at the dining table, "Sister Wang, Yichu and I won't be back for lunch or dinner."

You can go home after you've finished packing. Also, take the groceries you bought today home with you.

"Okay, I understand."

Sister Wang didn't refuse; Xu Shaoyang often did this. At first, she felt embarrassed to bring the groceries back, but later Xu Shaoyang said he was busy with work and might not be able to eat at home the next day.

Sister Wang thought it would be a waste to throw away fresh vegetables if they weren't fresh and she didn't take them home to eat that day. She figured that was true; as long as Xu Shaoyang wasn't home for dinner, she would take the vegetables she bought home.

She would carefully plan her purchases, trying not to buy too much at once. Sometimes, even if she wasn't sure if Xu Shaoyang would be home for dinner, she would still go to the market twice a day to buy groceries.

She thought to herself that since she was receiving Xu Shaoyang's salary, her work wasn't tiring, and she was often given days off, she shouldn't eat so much of Xu Shaoyang's food.

The two got into the car. Xu Shaoyang was driving, and Xia Yichu sat in the passenger seat, staring at him intently, which made Xu Shaoyang blush and his heart race.

Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?

Xu Shaoyang stammered as he spoke; he genuinely liked Xia Yichu. He used to never blush or feel his heart race around other girls, but now he found himself only admiring beautiful women, without any desire to flirt with them.

"No, I just think you're quite meticulous, even though you're a grown man."

No wonder so many girls like Xu Shaoyang; he's popular with all ages.

"Sister Wang has had a tough life. Her husband passed away from illness many years ago. She has two children in school, so she tries to take care of them as much as she can."

Most importantly, Sister Wang is a good person. She never slacks off at work and just does her job without asking many questions.

Xia Yichu stopped looking at Xu Shaoyang and stopped speaking, her eyes fixed on the distance ahead. Xu Shaoyang had a happy and fulfilling family life, and everyone doted on him; he had never experienced any hardship growing up.

Therefore, he is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. He will help those in need whenever he can. Fortunately, he has met many good people and has also encountered many benefactors.

"Yichu, why don't you consider me? Pei Shizhou is getting old and doesn't share any interests with you. Don't you think this is a great option for us?"

"We're about the same age, and my parents like you. If you marry me, there definitely won't be any mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts."

Xu Shaoyang looked very serious. The longer he spent with Xia Yichu, the more he realized he liked her.

Besides liking her looks, he also enjoyed being with Xia Yichu. With her by his side, Xu Shaoyang felt joyful, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

He was just very relaxed, even if he didn't do anything. Just knowing that Xia Yichu slept upstairs from him and lived in the same building made him exceptionally happy.

"Xu Shaoyang, we're not a good match."

"You say it's not suitable, then tell me why it's not suitable?"

Xu Shaoyang was unconvinced; he was rich and handsome, and he doted on Xia Yichu. From any perspective, they were a perfect match.

"I really want to know. You won't be angry if I tell you."

Perhaps she should have moved out sooner, even though Xu Shaoyang didn't get married in his past life. But in this life, Xia Yichu wouldn't carry the burden that Xu Shaoyang didn't get married because he loved her.

"Yes, I promise I won't get angry, just tell me the truth."

If he hadn't come to Hong Kong to do business, Xia Yichu would have definitely been won over by him long ago, given his charm.

"Let's talk about it when we get back tonight. It's not safe for you to drive now."

Her life was in Xu Shaoyang's hands. Having been given a second chance at life, Xia Yichu cherished it dearly.

"It's okay, just say it."

Xu Shaoyang gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that he is so despicable in Xia Yichu's heart?"

"You need to tell me which friends you're taking me to meet so I can be prepared."

Knowing that Xia Yichu was deliberately changing the subject, Xu Shaoyang sighed helplessly and said, "I'm meeting a director. He's made many movies, and quite a few of them are good."

Then, Xu Shaoyang mentioned a few movies that had done well at the box office. Xia Yichu had only seen one of them with Pei Shizhou; she didn't like going to the movies.

Pei Shizhou was busy, and the two of them didn't have much time together. Neither of them wanted to waste time watching movies. So, they had only gone to the movies twice in the past few years.

"Okay, let's go meet them."

If there are good film investments, or if the company's artists have the opportunity to work with this director, it wouldn't be a loss to have the time to meet him now.
