Rebirth, she ran away and he chased her, the black-bellied husband chased her crazy

Cao Min's expression froze, and the smile on his face broke. "No, you heard it wrong."

Han Xi looked around and saw that there was no one in the toilet cubicles. The cubicle she had just used was at the very back. She probably felt comfortable talking on the phone because Cao Min didn't see her.

I just didn't expect Han Xi to be in there.

"I heard you right, did something happen at home?"

Seeing Cao Min avoiding looking at her, she asked again tentatively, "Is it your mother..."

"No, Xiaoxi, don't make random guesses," Cao Min forced a smile and tried to persuade her, "Today is your birthday, don't mention those things that spoil the fun in my family. My family has always been like this, you know it, and I'm used to it. I can always handle it. Look, haven't I always been fine?"

Han Xi is not so easily fooled.

Having lived two lives, she has more life experience than she does now. Her eyes are calm and serious. "Oh no, Minmin, I heard everything just now. Did your mother force you to do something you don't want to do?"

Suddenly, Han Xi remembered that in her previous life, Cao Min had been forced by her own mother many times to marry men who she thought had good conditions and offered high dowries.

Her expression was stern, her eyes sharp, "Did your mother force you to marry someone you don't like?"

Now it was Cao Min's turn to be surprised, "You...how did you know?"

She didn't tell anyone else, and even Cao Jun didn't know about it.

Han Xi sneered and continued to talk nonsense, "I've read too many novels and made up my mind... Am I right?"

"..."

Seeing her silence, he knew he had guessed correctly, "Auntie, how could you do this? You're only a freshman."

When Cao Min found out that she knew the truth, she simply stopped pretending as it was too tiring.

She felt helpless.

"My dad was cheated. He was taken to gambling by an acquaintance and was tricked into losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ha..." She smiled bitterly, "I spent all my money, and it was still not enough to fill the hole. My mom found my aunt, who specializes in matchmaking in her hometown. My mom wanted me to marry quickly so that she could use the betrothal gift to fill the hole."

She looked at Han Xi and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Do you know? There has always been a nouveau riche in my hometown who has taken a fancy to me, but I just don't like him. My mother and my aunt have always wanted to marry me to that family because the betrothal gift from that family is very considerable, 300,000 yuan, and my mother dreams of getting that money."

Suddenly, her expression turned cold. "But that's not a good family. That's hell. The reason why that family can give such a high gift is because their son has a violent tendency and beat a daughter-in-law to death before. Ha!"

"People are dead, so why don't the police arrest people?" This kind of scum should be shot.

"In my hometown, whoever has money is the boss, and the collusion between officials and businessmen is very strong. They have people at the Public Security Bureau, and when someone died, they just made up an accidental death to cover it up."

Han Xi's face was gloomy. "Does Yue Hong know?"

Cao Min shook her head. "I don't know. I didn't dare to tell him. Even if I told him, he wouldn't have that much money. He would have to ask his family for it. His mother..."

She paused suddenly.

However, Han Xi knew from her previous life that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had always been bad. Yue Hong’s mother had never liked Cao Min since she was a child. To be more precise, she didn’t like their family.

Yue Hong and Cao Min have known each other since childhood because the two families live close to each other. Yue Hong's mother knows the situation of the Cao family very well. Becoming a relative of the Cao family is like asking for trouble. Normal people don't want to be associated with such a family.

Therefore, if the mother-in-law knew that her son was asking for money from the Cao family, it would be impossible for her to give the money out, and she would even persuade Yue Hong to break up with Cao Min.

"I'll lend it to you!"

Han Xi grabbed Cao Min's hand and looked at the tears in her eyes. "Don't be afraid, you still have me. It doesn't matter if I don't have money, but if I do, I'll lend it to you. But you still have to deal with the problem of your mother forcing you to get married. Otherwise, I'm afraid she will dare to do it next time!"

Tears welled up in Cao Min's eyes and she burst into tears.

Han Xi sighed, reached out and held her in his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her silently.

"Actually, even if Yue Hong can't help you solve this matter, at least let him know that he is your boyfriend now."

Suddenly, she lowered her head and asked, "By the way, does Aunt Yue know about your situation?"

Cao Min's body stiffened when he heard this.

Seeing her reaction, Han Xi guessed, "She knows?"

Cao Min nodded.

Han Xi sighed again and finally understood why Cao Min didn't dare to tell Yue Hong. It was already annoying enough that this man was caught between his mother and his girlfriend, and he couldn't solve the problem by himself.

It would be useless to tell him about this, it would only add to his troubles.

Even so, can we really not let him know?

In her previous life, Han Xi might have made the same choice as Cao Min, but in this life, she felt that in order for the two of them to stay together for a long time, they must be honest with each other, even if neither of them could solve the problems in front of them.

Whether good or bad.

Even if someone comforts you, it is better than holding it in by yourself.

She told Cao Min her thoughts, and she just stared blankly.

Knowing that she was still emotional, Han Xi left tactfully, leaving her alone.

However, as soon as she walked out of the bathroom, she saw Ling Kai walking towards her.

"I just saw Cao Min looked upset and went into the bathroom with her phone. Is she okay?"

Han Xi looked at him in surprise, only to see that he still had an expression that showed he didn't care much about anything, but she could still catch a glimpse of the worry in his eyes that had not yet faded away.

Did she see it wrong?

Why did she feel that Ling Kai's expression was not right?

"She...she's fine, just has a little diarrhea."

"is it?"

"Yes." Han Xi looked up at him, "Why do you suddenly care about Cao Min?"

Is he familiar with Cao Min?

"We were talking before she went to the bathroom."

"Oh...so that's how it is!" She must have been overthinking it.

I had to go to school the next day, so I couldn’t enjoy the birthday party all night long, so it ended early.

Seeing that it was not too late, grandpa asked Cui Chengru to take him home so that he would not have to sleep in the hotel bed and get tired of it.

Although Han Xi felt sorry for the old man's hard work, he also knew that he had a shallow sleep and did not force him to stay.

Ling Kai was going to the city, so Yue Hong and Cao Min took his ride back to school.

Since it was still early and Liao Chuan rarely came over, Fan Ying didn't want to waste time and dragged him out on a date alone.

The same thing happened to Gu Caihong and Yin Haisheng. Since they were all out, they went to see a movie.

Although Gu Qingfeng and his wife Shang Yan also lived in Tsinghua University, the faculty and staff residences were not located through the same door as theirs and were in different directions, so they parted ways after coming out of the restaurant.

In the end, only Han Xi, Cui Ling and Qiao Xun were left.

Of course, I would take Qiao Xun's car back to school.
