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

"Grandpa, don't worry. Now that it's happened, let's all work together to figure out a solution."

As Pei Shizhou spoke, he and Xia Yichu helped Grandpa Xia sit down. Then, Xia Yichu went to the kitchen, actually to pour a glass of water from her spatial storage.

She was worried that her grandfather's health wouldn't be able to take it. Ever since her grandmother passed away, his health had been poor, but thankfully Tiezhu was there to take care of him.

"Grandpa, have some water."

"it is good"

Xia Yichu offered Pei Shizhou another glass of water, but she ignored Xia Guofang. Only after Grandpa Xia finished drinking the water did Pei Shizhou speak.

"Grandpa, what about Uncle? Did he say anything?"

Pei Shizhou believed that Luo Hao could figure out a solution quickly, as he had been in business longer than Pei Shizhou. As long as the business was running smoothly, a few million in cash wouldn't cause him to panic.

"Your uncle knew she was coming to my place this morning, so he called to tell me not to worry, saying he would take care of the money issue and also asked Zhiheng to help investigate the matter."

I was just worried about your uncle. Over the years, he's always handled things on his own in his business, so I didn't have to worry about him. That's why I thought of asking you to come over.

Ah Zhou, Xiao Chu, your uncle has had such a hard life. Grandpa begs you, please help him out when he's in trouble. I'm old, and I can't help him with anything anymore.

Grandpa Xia was almost in tears; he had watched Luo Hao get up step by step. Life was already so good, but Xia Guofang, that troublesome person, had caused such a huge disaster.

Grandpa Xia only hopes that Luo Hao can overcome this difficulty. After this matter is resolved, Grandpa Xia will definitely not stop Luo Hao from divorcing Xia Guofang.

"Grandpa, don't worry, Shi Zhou and I won't stand idly by. And with Zhi Heng and Zhi Qian here, you don't need to worry. We will definitely help Uncle."

Xia Yichu knew that Luo Hao must need money for his business, which was why he discovered that Xia Guofang had lent out the money.

"Yes, Grandpa, it's just a few million. It's not worth your worry. You should take care of your health."

Pei Shizhou also chimed in with advice, saying he had plenty of liquid funds and could sell land or houses if things got really bad. He didn't care about just a few million.

"Okay, okay, okay"

Grandpa Xia was genuinely happy and said "good" three times in a row. Turning around, he saw Xia Guofang still crying beside him.

Grandpa Xia's temper flared instantly. A five-year-old child wasn't as stupid as her. She would trust anyone who came along and give them all her wealth. It infuriated Grandpa Xia.

"Stop crying, will crying solve anything? Go home and cry. I just don't understand why you have everything you want, so why do you have to go through all the trouble of earning your own money? Are you tired of having a good life, or are you just too idle?"

Luo Hao is so busy with his business every day. If you want to make money, you can help him manage it. Or you can find some business to invest in yourself. You're the only one who thinks that a free lunch is out of the question; everyone else is stupid enough not to know such a good thing exists and wants to get something for nothing.

Hearing Grandpa Xia's words, Xia Guofang cried even louder, feeling wronged herself.

"Grandpa, how did she get swindled out of her money?"

Xia Yichu asked curiously, "It seems that in my past life, Xia Guofang had some private dealings with Luo Hao's family. She was invited by the Luo family to invest, but Xia Yichu didn't know exactly what kind of business they were investing in."

"I just don't understand how you could trust people who lend money at exorbitant interest rates to lend you money when you don't even know their backgrounds."

Grandpa Xia said weakly, "I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone this stupid. If she had at least told Luo Hao or the rest of the family, things wouldn't have come to this."

"Dad, I made almost a million dollars doing this for a year, but who knew they would take the money and disappear this time."

Xia Guofang's words were shocking, which angered Grandpa Xia so much that he stood up, walked over, and poked her head hard.

"You've really made something of yourself, managing to lend money at exorbitant interest rates for a year without your family's knowledge. You're such a pig-brain; they're playing the long game."

Xia Yichu suppressed a laugh. Her grandfather knew so much. She just wondered if Xia Guofang had been cheated out of money like this in her past life.

Logically speaking, several million might sound like a lot, but it shouldn't have been enough to make Luo Hao so devastated that he later left for another place.

Luo Hao has made a decent living in business these past few years. Because he has two sons, he wants to treat them equally and doesn't want them to have any estrangement in the future.

Moreover, with the significant increase in housing prices in recent years, and being a businessman with a long-term vision, he has bought quite a few properties. He said it's better to buy more for his two brothers than to leave them cash.

So even without the millions Xia Guofang was swindled out of, Luo Hao shouldn't have collapsed, especially since he still has a company.

"I... I didn't know things would turn out like this, sob sob sob..."

Xia Guofang no longer cared about losing face in front of Xia Yichu; she felt that Luo Hao would kill her this time.

"Alright, stop crying, you're giving me a headache. Go home now!"

With Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu's words, Grandpa Xia finally felt relieved.

"No, Dad, Luo Hao will kill me."

Xia Guofang was filled with fear and unease. She couldn't go home; she had to stay here.

"Now you're scared? Where were you before? If Luo Hao hits you, you'd better take it."

Grandpa Xia knew Luo Hao's character; even the slap mark on Xia Guofang's face was from him. Although Xia Guofang came crying that morning, Luo Hao hadn't laid a finger on her.

"Dad, I beg you, please let me stay."

After saying that, Xia Guofang actually knelt on the ground, hugging Grandpa Xia's leg and begging bitterly.

Now, not only Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou, but even Grandpa Xia could tell something was wrong.

"Tell me, what else did you do?"

Grandpa Xia looked at Xia Guofang with a grim expression. Could there be something even bigger than a few million?

"Dad, I..."

Xia Guofang stammered and couldn't say anything. If she weren't afraid of pain, she would have wanted to die so she wouldn't have to face the problems that followed.

"Xia Guofang, if you don't tell me, I'll beat you to death right now, so you won't harm the two children and Luo Hao."

"Dad, actually, actually, it's not just..."

Xia Guofang steeled herself, about to speak, when Luo Hao's voice came from outside.

"Xia Guofang, I'm going to beat you to death."

Immediately afterward, Luo Hao, Xia Zhiheng, and Xia Zhiqian walked in together. Luo Hao was in front, and he didn't look well. The two Xia brothers followed behind, their faces also grim.

Seeing that Luo Hao was about to hit someone, Xia Yichu took advantage of Xia Guofang releasing his grandfather and quickly pulled him away.

As soon as they left, Xia Guofang was pinned to the ground and beaten by Luo Hao. A moment later, Xia Guofang let out screams and pleas for mercy.

Grandpa Xia couldn't bear to look at Xia Guofang; it was all her own fault.

"Luo Hao, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

Luo Hao seemed not to hear Xia Guofang's words and continued hitting her relentlessly. Seeing this, the two brothers, Xia Zhiheng and Xia Zhiqian, quickly stepped forward and pulled Luo Hao away.

"Uncle, stop hitting her. It won't do any good to kill her now. Let's sit down and talk."

Xia Zhiheng sympathized with Luo Hao; otherwise, she wouldn't have let him vent his anger by beating up his aunt.

"Zhiheng is gone, everything is gone."

Luo Hao was disheartened and showed no trace of his usual high spirits.

"Uncle, I know. Don't worry, I will catch those people and get all the money back from the family."

Xia Zhiheng and Xia Zhiqian helped Luo Hao, who had fallen to the ground and was crying, to his feet and helped him to sit on the sofa.
