Reborn: Instead of Chasing the School Beauty, I Chased Her Mother

Listening to Li Meifeng's words, Li Zhiyan was somewhat stunned.

He hadn't expected that Li Meifeng would see through him so thoroughly.

Perhaps this is what it meant to be an outsider, a clear observer.

His possessiveness toward Auntie Rao was undeniable, yet, when spelled out by Li Meifeng, he felt somewhat uneasy about it.

"Aunt Li."

"How did you figure it out?"

Li Meifeng smiled.

"Can't I see what's on your mind? You're a born romantic."

"The way you look at Auntie Rao is so affectionate."

"And, your gaze toward Gu Wanzhou and Wang Shangyan is the same."

"That makes Auntie realize that you genuinely like them, and you're sincerely in love with several women at the same time."

"That's a talent in itself, I suppose."

"You're like Duan Zhengchun in that sense."

Li Zhiyan: "..."

In a way, what Aunt Li said wasn't wrong, his emotions were a bit overflowing.

Yet he could say that every relationship he had was sincere and genuine...

His heart was always truly loyal to the aunties.

"So, today Auntie hopes to give you a hand, mainly because Auntie also has thoughts about Liu Zijian."

"Including thoughts about Lew Huan; in a sense, we are kindred spirits."

Li Zhiyan also understood why Li Meifeng would help him; it turned out she had feelings for Liu Zijian, which made sense.

But he needed to sincerely thank Aunt Li.

"Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Li."

"Alright, if you start a company in the future and there's a chance for collaboration, remember to think of Auntie first."

"Definitely."

After chatting with Li Meifeng for a bit, she went downstairs.

Afterward, Li Zhiyan joined Wu Qingxian.

"Wu Auntie, let's go have dinner together."

Wu Qingxian had no desire to go; in front of so many wealthy people, she genuinely felt inferior.

Liu Meizhen who had just arrived didn't feel inferior because she was the head nurse at a hospital, had her own career, and due to the nature of her work, she also had confidence when dealing with wealthy individuals.

But what about herself? Just an average middle-aged woman.

"Auntie won't go, Xiao Yan, you guys go ahead."

Li Zhiyan sensed Wu Qingxian's dejection.

"Alright, Wu Auntie."

"But, they are just business partners to me, mere strangers."

"To me, you are like family, like a mother."

Li Zhiyan comforted Wu Qingxian's emotions.

Indeed, a single sentence filled Wu Qingxian's heart with warmth.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Good son, mom really didn't dote on you for nothing."

Wu Qingxian joked with Li Zhiyan.

Then, Li Zhiyan pecked Wu Qingxian on the face.

This startled Wu Qingxian.

"You little rascal, behave yourself, there are cameras everywhere here."

"Don't do this with Auntie."

"I got it, Wu Auntie, we'll kiss in your break room when there's no one around."

Watching Li Zhiyan's retreating figure.

Wu Qingxian murmured, "This kid, he's really getting out of hand."

But remembering what Li Zhiyan had said earlier, her heart still felt very warm.

...

Because the hotel wasn't far from the commercial street.

Everyone decided to walk there.

On the way there, the one million from the internet café's opening had been returned.

Li Zhiyan's bank account had thus reached 1.9 million.

His goal of earning ten million a year was getting closer and closer.

Excited by this thought, Li Zhiyan walked on with a pep in his step.

Li Meifeng and Liu Zijian chatted, hoping to boost the rapport between them, and her frankness in conversation remained as usual.

But no one made a big deal out of it.

Because everyone was very clear about her style of conversation.

At the moment, Li Meifeng also felt somewhat guilty inside, because she wanted to sleep with her best friend's husband, even though he was her ex-husband.

There wasn't an issue in terms of morality, but something inside her still felt uneasy.

She hoped Li Zhiyan and Rao Shi Yun would develop their relationship quickly.

That way, there would be fewer obstacles in the future.

Everyone had their own thoughts.

Rao Shi Yun kept thinking about Yu Sisi and Li Zhiyan's confession earlier.

Back then, even she had advised Li Zhiyan to be with Yu Sisi...

But once it was actually said, she felt a particularly uncomfortable sensation in her heart.

Deep down, she really didn't want the two of them to be together, did she?

Rao Shi Yun was a bit afraid to face her own feelings, thinking about Li Zhiyan's fervent love for her, yet reflecting on the twenty-year relationship with her husband, she found herself unable to decide.

However, Rao Shi Yun now realized that she and Li Zhiyan could no longer maintain the simple purity of an elder and junior.

Twenty-four years older than him, she had developed different emotions for him.

Stay updated through empire

Wang Shangyan, though full of thoughts, managed to stay relatively calm internally.

But the most restless heart belonged to Gu Wanzhou...

Ever since Li Zhiyan professed his love to her publicly with flowers that day.

In Gu Wanzhou's heart, Li Zhiyan occupied a very special place.

Especially after the two became temporary lovers.

Gu Wanzhou couldn't help but fantasize about having a proper romance with Li Zhiyan.

If only she were 18, how wonderful that would be.

Regrettably, she was already 41 when she met Li Zhiyan.

Although the young man stirred her heart...
