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

In the days that followed, Xia Guoan took meticulous care of Xia Yichu.

He no longer cared about the child; as long as Pei Shizhou wasn't there, he would only focus on Xia Yichu.

Today was the same. Xia Yichu had just woken up from her afternoon nap when Xia Guoan had already made her a soup with goji berries and white fungus, as the weather had been rather dry lately.

Xia Guoan would usually cook some snacks for Xia Yichu in advance and keep them warm. He would sit on the sofa upstairs and wait for Xia Yichu to get up before going downstairs with her.

This time was no different; the two of them remained silent, as if by unspoken agreement. Xia Guoan was worried that Xia Yichu would find him annoying, so he dared not speak.

Xia Yichu didn't know what to say to Xia Guoan. So she simply kept quiet, which was fine. Otherwise, whatever she said would be awkward.

"Xiao Chu, I made you some goji berry and white fungus soup. I'll go to the kitchen and get it for you."

Before Xia Yichu could speak, Xia Guoan hurriedly went to the kitchen.

A moment later, he took out a bowl of white fungus soup and placed it in front of Xia Yichu. Perhaps the soup in the bowl was too hot, because Xia Guoan covered his ears with both hands after putting down the bowl.

Xia Yichu couldn't help but want to laugh at that look, but she held it in.

"Xiao Chu, the soup is a little hot, eat slowly."

"it is good"

Upstairs, Yu Mengxi had just finished her white fungus soup. She ate before Xia Yichu, and Lin's mother had already taken the bowl down.

Xia Yichu saw Lin's mother come downstairs and said, "Auntie, has the child woken up yet?"

"She just woke up, then fell asleep again. You'll have to wait a while if you want to see the child."

The nanny was washing Yu Mengxi's hair upstairs. Yu Mengxi said the weather was nice and she wanted to wash her hair. Lin's mother didn't object, and boiled some water for her to boil and let it cool before the nanny washed it for her.

After all, Lin's mother injured her back while in the hospital, and now no one wants her to do anything that requires bending over.

Strangely enough, the doctor said she would have to stay in bed for about a month. But after lying in the hospital for two days and then at home for two more days, Lin's mother was able to get out of bed and move around.

Moreover, since she felt no discomfort, Lin Weidong took her to the hospital for a checkup, but the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong. In the end, the doctor said that the fall probably wasn't serious, it just looked more serious than it seemed.

That's why she recovered so quickly. Even so, no one lets Lin's mother do any heavy work.

"knew"

"By the way, you..."

Before Lin's mother could finish speaking, Pei Shizhou pushed open the door and walked in, interrupting her.

"Shizhou, why are you back at this hour? What happened?"

Xia Yichu saw Pei Shizhou's anxious and worried face and asked, "Pei Shizhou has indeed been very busy lately and hasn't been sleeping here at night."

He would come to see Xia Yichu every morning before going to work, sometimes even when Xia Yichu was still sleeping in bed.

"Pei Zongna's daughter was taken away by Chen Zongyu. I'm worried something might have happened to you, so I came home to check on you."

When Pei Shizhou received the call, he broke out in a cold sweat. He stupidly ran back without even thinking to call and ask what was wrong.

"Don't worry! I'm fine. I haven't gone anywhere these past few days. By the way, why did Chen Zongyu try to take Pei Zongna's daughter away?"

"I don't know. I heard that he went to Pei Zongna to ask for money. At first, Pei Zongna said she had no money. But after he asked her many times, she became more and more impatient and started to verbally abuse Chen Zongyu."

It's possible that Chen Zongyu took Pei Zongna's child away in a fit of anger because Pei Zongna had insulted him, and now she has reported it to the police.

I'm worried that Chen Zongyu might do something desperate and come looking for you, Xiao Chu. Be careful these days. I won't go anywhere; I'll stay home with you.

Pei Shizhou was so worried because Chen Zongyu had come to the company to see him the day before yesterday, and Pei Shizhou wanted to know why he had come to see him.

So they had someone bring Chen Zongyu to see him. As soon as Chen Zongyu saw Pei Shizhou, he knelt down and begged him to lend him some money or give him a job, any kind of job would do.

Pei Shizhou definitely wouldn't agree. After being rejected, Chen Zongyu tried to stay at his company, but Pei Shizhou threatened him and he left cursing.

"That child isn't very dangerous. He wouldn't harm a baby who's only a few months old, would he?"

Xia Yichu is about to become a mother herself, and her heart is different from before.

"It's possible, Xiao Chu. Chen Zongyu is penniless. I heard he was kicked out by his landlord these past few days and often goes out to steal food in the middle of the night. He's quite dangerous, you have to be very careful."

"Yes, Shi Zhou is right. You should have someone with you when you go out, or better yet, you shouldn't go out at all. Poor kid, I hope the police arrest him soon."

Lin's mother looked reluctant to admit it; no matter what, the child was innocent.

"Okay, I understand. Shizhou, there are so many people at home, I'm fine, you go ahead with your work."

Pei Shizhou didn't dare to say too much to Xia Yichu. This morning, Chen Zongyu took advantage of Pei Zongna going to work and only Pei's aunt being at home to sneak in and take the child away.

Although Pei's aunt discovered it, she didn't tell Pei Zongna immediately. It wasn't until Pei Zongna returned home for lunch and asked about it that her aunt told her that the child had been taken away by her uncle, Chen Zongyu.

Pei Zongna realized something was wrong. Forgetting all about cursing, she rushed to the police station to report the incident. Several hours had passed, and Xia Zhiheng said the child was probably in grave danger.

"It's nothing, nothing much has been happening at the company lately."

No matter what major events happen at the company, nothing is more important than Xia Yichu and the baby in her belly.

"Okay! If the company is busy, then go to work."

Xia Yichu knew Pei Shizhou was worried about her, so she decided it was better for him to stay. She figured he wouldn't be able to concentrate on his work anyway.

"Okay, I'll call Brother Zhiheng to ask about the child."

Everyone was worried about the child, including Pei Shizhou. He went over and made a phone call. The phone rang for a while before someone answered.

"Hey, Zhiheng, how's the situation over there?"

"Oh no, we just used some methods to interrogate Pei Zongna's aunt."

She recounted that before Chen Zongyu took the child, he said something to Pei Zongna: "Take 1,000 yuan and come to him within two hours. If you don't come within two hours, he'll kill the child."

Aunt Pei initially refused to tell these things, but their people coaxed and intimidated her into telling the truth.

She kept making excuses, saying she didn't know things would be so serious, after all, Chen Zongyu was the child's uncle. She thought Chen Zongyu was joking, so she didn't take it seriously.

Aunt Pei has been detained by the police. The important thing now isn't to assign blame, but to find Chen Zongyu and rescue the child.

"So, how do you plan to investigate now? Where will you start?"

Pei Shizhou frowned; he was unaware of the hidden story. This significantly increased the likelihood of something happening to the child.

"As you know, it's been six or seven hours since the incident, and we've searched every place we could. Chen Zongyu has no experience taking care of children, and the baby is too young and cries easily when hungry."

Hiding with a child would be too conspicuous, and we were worried that something might have happened to the child. Then, Chen Zongyu realized he had caused trouble and fled.

Pei Shizhou's face darkened; he thought the same thing. Chen Zongyu himself didn't even have money for food, so what could he possibly feed a three- or four-month-old baby?
