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

"Yang Mengru, what do you want?" Chen Shaoping said impatiently.

"I want to give birth to this child."

Chen Shaoping's face stiffened. He looked down on Yang Mengru, didn't want to marry her, and didn't want the child in her belly.

"Mengru, it's not that I don't want children, it's just that we're currently broke, unemployed, and still in school. This is my first child, and I can't bear to lose it."

"I can go home to have the baby, and my mom can take care of it afterward. I'll go to work and earn money, and you can continue your studies, as long as you marry me after graduation."

"no"

"Why not? Don't you want to take responsibility for me?"

Yang Mengru looked furious, her eyes fixed on Chen Shaoping.

"Mengru, I'm doing this for your own good. You can't go to university if you have a baby. You finally got into university after all this hard work."

Chen Shaoping was inwardly panicked, but outwardly pretended to be calm. He couldn't marry Yang Mengru, nor could he let her have the child. If there was a child, he wouldn't be able to get rid of Yang Mengru in the future, and no girl from a good family would be willing to marry him.

"Shaoping, it's too late. I've already told the school leaders that I want to withdraw from school, and all the procedures are complete. I'm going home tomorrow."

Chen Shaoping panicked; he couldn't let Yang Mengru go home and give birth to the child.

"Mengru, you can't go home like this. If you go back pregnant out of wedlock, your parents will be gossiped about by the neighbors. How about this, I'll rent a place for you first, and after I graduate from university and we get married, we'll go home together."

Chen Shaoping can only try to keep her in Pengcheng for now so that he can find an opportunity to get rid of the child.

"real"

Yang Mengru couldn't believe it; she could sense Chen Shaoping's recent impatience with her. She thought he didn't want her anymore and ignored her.

"I promise"

"But don't you have no money?"

"I'll go borrow some from my second sister."

Chen Shaoping was thinking that if his second sister couldn't borrow it, he would ask his aunt. If his aunt refused, he had plenty of ways to get her to give it to him. He really had no other choice, and he didn't want to fall out with his aunt unless absolutely necessary.

"Shaoping, thank goodness you're here. Otherwise, I don't know what I would have done."

Yang Mengru leaned against him. Chen Shaoping stiffened for a moment, then casually patted her back to comfort her.

Xia Yichu had also heard about Yang Mengru's pregnancy and dropping out of school. In her previous life, she had also gotten pregnant around this time. However, she didn't drop out; she took sick leave when she was five or six months pregnant, gave birth to the child, and then went back to school.

At the time, she and Chen Shaoping were wealthy and hired a nanny to take care of the child. She recalled one time when Xia Yichu discovered Chen Shaoping helping Yang Mengru to a prenatal checkup, and she questioned him about it.

Chen Shaoping and Yang Mengru put on an act to fool her, claiming she was raped and became pregnant, and the father's identity was unknown. Chen Shaoping only accompanied her to the prenatal checkup out of pity for her being a woman; now, he realized how foolish he had been. They were penniless, and Yang Mengru had dropped out of school; she wanted to see what would become of the two of them.

"Yi Chu, Zhou Shuyue's father and two older brothers don't hold high positions. Her eldest uncle works at the court and is the president of the Pengxin District Court. Her youngest uncle works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and her mother is a bank president."

Xia Yichu asked Xu Shaoyang to inquire about Zhou Shuyue's family situation so that they wouldn't be caught off guard if anything happened in the future.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

"Lin Xingcheng is really unlucky. I heard that Zhou Shuyue's mother had a crush on her father back then. Her father had a girlfriend at the time, but her mother broke them up. Now, her two uncles only have two sons, and they dote on their niece, Zhou Shuyue."

Xu Shaoyang felt a little smug; it was fortunate that Zhou Shuyue liked her, but unfortunate that she didn't.

"If you ask me, you should let Xing Cheng submit to her, and from then on, your future will be secure."

Xia Yichu glanced at it and said, "You can go home now."

"Yichu, I'm not joking. Don't kick me out. Shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"

"I'm busy right now, maybe next time."

Xia Yichu was worried about leaving Xiao Cheng at home alone, so she took some time out to see Xu Shaoyang. The two talked near their homes while Lin Xingcheng read a book at home.

"I'll go grocery shopping when I have time, and then cook at your place."

Xu Shaoyang was craving the water at Xia Yichu's house. For a long time, he hadn't found a chance to go to Xia Yichu's house to drink water. Every day, he racked his brains to find a way to go to Xia Yichu's house to drink water, but he couldn't let her find out.

"Okay, you go buy the groceries, I'm going home now."

Chen Shaoping watched Xia Yichu and Xu Shaoyang chatting and laughing with a gloomy look in his eyes. Today was Sunday, and he went to his second sister's house to borrow money, but only managed to borrow a hundred. It wasn't even enough to pay for rent, which required a deposit and a minimum lease term of one year.

Even the cheapest option costs forty or fifty yuan a month, and five or six hundred yuan a year. He had no choice but to ask his aunt for two thousand yuan, but at first she said she didn't have any.

Later, when Chen Shaoping mentioned how they had plotted against Xia Yichu, his aunt finally agreed to give him 1,500 yuan. He had just returned from renting a house and, as if possessed, wandered over here, only to see Xia Yichu and Xu Shaoyang chatting and laughing.

"You are Xia Yichu."

The next morning, when Xia Yichu was on her way to school, she was stopped by a girl she didn't know, which puzzled her.

"Yes, you are..."

"I'm Shaoyang's girlfriend. You're not allowed to bother him anymore."

After she finished speaking, she left. The girl felt a little guilty because many of her classmates had come to her today and said that Xu Shaoyang and Xia Yichu were together.

In reality, Xu Shaoyang never dated her. They were just often seen chatting and laughing together, and when others asked her if she was with Xu Shaoyang, she never admitted it. Instead, she would always pretend to be shy and say no, so everyone assumed they were together.

Lin Xingcheng said with a bad expression, "Stay away from Xu Shaoyang from now on."

"I see"

She also found it troublesome; Xu Shaoyang would have even more suitors in the future, so she decided to stay away from him.

When Xia Yichu entered the classroom today, everyone's eyes were on her. There was a lot of talking about it, but she didn't pay it any mind.

"Yichu, I heard you're with Xu Shaoyang. Be careful. I also heard he's with Li Yunzhi from the Chinese Literature Department. Everyone's saying you're the other woman and stole her boyfriend."

After school, Zhang Yuanyuan happened to be downstairs when she ran into Xia Yichu waiting for Lin Xingcheng. She kindly offered a reminder, and just then, Zhou Shuyue walked over. She had also heard about it, and she was undoubtedly the happiest person about it.

Although she didn't believe Lin Xingcheng had feelings for Xia Yichu, this matter was still a thorn in her side. Now, finally, her annoying cousin Xia Yichu has a boyfriend!

"I am not with Xu Shaoyang."

Xia Yichu only offered one explanation and didn't take it to heart. There had been rumors circulating at school about her and Xu Shaoyang before. She saw Lin Xingcheng come down and went home with him.

"Yuanyuan, do you think what Xia Yichu said is true? The whole grade is saying that she and Xu Shaoyang are together, so why is she denying it?"

"I don't know, but based on my understanding of Xia Yichu, if she says they're not together, then they probably aren't. Given Xu Shaoyang's reputation, Lin Xingcheng wouldn't let them be together; it's possible someone deliberately framed her."

Zhou Shuyue nodded thoughtfully. She wanted Xu Shaoyang and Xia Yichu to really be together, so she made the rumors more and more rampant.
