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

But after all, the age gap was there, lying in plain sight.

However, before this, despite the age difference, Gu Wanzhou still harbored some fantasies in her heart; she had thought about overcoming the difficulties in reality to be with Li Zhiyan.

But at the moment her daughter confessed her feelings to him,

Gu Wanzhou's heart began to hurt deeply.

Herself and her daughter, had they become romantic rivals?

...

Everyone with their own thoughts, they arrived at the private room of the hotel.

"Brother Liu, it's been a while since we last met, I need to have a good chat with you today,"

she subtly put distance between Liu Zijian and Rao Shi Yun.

Li Meifeng and Liu Zijian started to chat.

Though Liu Zijian wanted to sit with his wife, he thought that there would be plenty of time to be affectionate in the afternoon. Stay updated through empire

So he didn't mind it too much.

Afterward, Wang Shangyan and Rao Shi Yun both took seats to the left and right of Li Zhiyan.

Subconsciously, Gu Wanzhou put a bit of distance between herself and Li Zhiyan.

All that preoccupied her mind was the fact that her daughter liked Li Zhiyan, that she and her daughter had become romantic rivals.

After sitting down, Li Zhiyan wasn't stingy, he ordered many signature dishes; today all the aunties had given him quite generous red envelopes.

And he was not the kind of person to be petty.

"Brother Liu, let's have a good drink today,"

Li Zhiyan ordered two bottles of Moutai, knowing that Li Meifeng wanted to use the opportunity to get Liu Zijian drunk.

But, Aunt Li's drinking capacity seemed not enough; it would still require his assistance.

If there was a chance in the future, he also wanted to help Aunt Li fulfill her wish.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Okay, let's have a good drink,"

Liu Zijian was quite confident in his own drinking ability.

After all, he was a person who frequented the business scene, and drinking at social events was always part of the deal.

When the dishes and drinks were served,

Liu Meizhen

but clearly he hadn't expected that today Li Meifeng truly wanted to have a drink with him.

Li Meifeng poured two full glasses of white liquor and handed one to him.

"Brother Liu, this little sister of yours toasts to you,"

She drank the white liquor in large gulps, and although she didn't down it in one go, her boldness was enough to startle Liu Zijian.

This woman was a bit fierce, coming at him with a full glass of white liquor right off the bat.

But he didn't pay it too much mind; even a few glasses of white liquor weren't much to him.

He considered it a warm-up for the workout he'd have with his wife in the afternoon.

So drink he did, as long as it wasn't too outrageous.

Wang Shangyan and Gu Wanzhou were somewhat distracted, each preoccupied with their own thoughts.

And Rao Shi Yun knew that it was her role to encourage drinking.

But her mind endlessly replayed the words Li Zhiyan had said, how he liked her.

Rao Shi Yun's heart was in turmoil, and she could only watch as Liu Zijian drank.

Li Zhiyan was very grateful for Li Meifeng in his heart.

He quietly watched how events unfolded, ready to intervene at any time, but he was very clear about one thing in his heart.

No matter what, in the afternoon, Liu Zijian had better not think about connecting with Auntie Rao.

Even if he had to resort to some extreme measures, he would definitely not let such an event occur.

...

Back at the school, Zhang Honglei was currently surrounded by several classmates, boasting away.

Some of the female students weren't particularly good-looking, and as someone who now considered himself a scion of wealth, Zhang Honglei had become pickier.

He believed that only someone like Su Mengyue with her twin ponytails and slim, youthful look was worthy of him.

However, he felt that these female students could still provide him with significant emotional value.

For example, they would marvel at his wealth, which pleased Zhang Honglei greatly.

"Young Master Zhang, your family must be really rich, when can you take me to see your family's villa?"

"That's right, I've never been to a villa before, how about we barbecue in your family's yard?"

Zhang Honglei said grandly, "Of course that's possible."

"We'll have a barbecue together then."

"But the most authentic barbecue is the kind by the beaches of Hawaii,"

"Watching the fireworks and the stars, thoroughly enjoying the local customs there."

The surrounding classmates were all bursting with envy.

Previously, many had thought Zhang Honglei was a regular guy masquerading as a rich second generation.

But now they all believed in Zhang Honglei's rich second-generation status.

No more doubts were cast his way, after all, ordinary families can't afford a BMW 4 Series.

So the classmates treated Zhang Honglei very politely.

This made Zhang Honglei even more immersed in the feeling of role-playing.

He truly began to believe that he lived in a wealthy family's large villa.

...

Back at the hotel, Li Meifeng kept talking and drinking wine with Liu Zijian.

Acting like quite the chatterbox, Liu Zijian also felt helpless against Li Meifeng's enthusiasm.

They were indeed former good friends, she always took the initiative to drink with him, and drank heartily; it would be ungracious not to respond.

"Alright, alright, little sister, after this drink you can't drink anymore,"

"I can't take it anymore, little sister,"

"Brother, you're giving up just when we've started? Don't joke, this is white liquor not beer, just let yourself drink freely,"

"Drink without worries."

"This bit of liquor won't interrupt your afternoon alone time with your wife."

"Let me top you up, fill it to the brim."

With a red face, Li Meifeng poured liquor for Liu Zijian, who wanted to demur, but after all, he couldn't decline the generous offer.

"Alright, alright, this is the last one,"

After finishing this glass with Liu Zijian, he then guarded his glass.
