18: Big Ting baby, Little Ting baby, Yan baby

Chapter 18: Da Ting Bao, Xiao Ting, Xiao Yan

"There's some connection, so I should be able to help you with your matter."

Zhao Manman knew that Li Zhiyan was not a liar.

Since he knew Su Jinan and said that, perhaps he could really help her solve this problem.

Everyone has their hidden secrets, and it was not impossible for Li Zhiyan to have such a connection.

"Mom, tell me what happened so I can help you."

"Be more specific."

Zhao Manman did not want to discuss these matters in front of her junior.

Because it would make her feel like she had fallen from her position as an elder.

"Let's find a place to sit. Your father can't know about this."

One good thing about Qiantang District was that parking was convenient.

After pulling over, he easily found a parking spot and skillfully parallel parked.

Zhao Manman reached out to Li Zhiyan.

Li Zhiyan instinctively grabbed Zhao Manman's hand because Ji Mengting used to like this gesture.

At that time, she wasn't as focused on money as she was now.

Zhao Manman did not blush when Li Zhiyan held her hand; she just looked at Li Zhiyan with a cool demeanor.

Once her naturally alluring eyes fixed on Li Zhiyan,

He was holding her hand, and her expression didn't change in the slightest, maintaining the strict authority of an elder.

He only then sobered up, realizing he had mistakenly recognized someone in his daze.

Zhao Manman clearly wanted her high heels.

He picked up the pair of Valentino and handed them to Zhao Manman.

After taking them, she quickly changed into them and got out of the car with Li Zhiyan.

The summer was hot. Following behind Zhao Manman, Li Zhiyan and she arrived at a cafe.

"I'll have an iced camellia Americano, light on sugar."

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment and said, "I'll have a mango sago, extra ice."

Neither of them spoke until the waiter brought over the iced Americano and mango sago.

Zhao Manman took it and then spoke, "Xiao Yan, Mom is only telling you about this."

Li Zhiyan saw Zhao Manman's red fingernails; they were very delicate.

However, two nails were not painted.

Perhaps this was the joy of life.

"Do your best. If you can do it, then do it. If you can't, just pretend you don't know. Things always pass."

After a moment of silence.

Zhao Manman said, "Mom has always had many admirers, and because of this, it has caused a lot of trouble."

"Although Uncle Ji usually seems very refined, he has a very bad temper. I'm afraid he might do something impulsive if he finds out about these things."

Li Zhiyan thought of Ji Yunhai, his father-in-law.

He was indeed a very refined person, looking like a high-ranking intellectual.

However, Li Zhiyan certainly wouldn't understand his true nature better than Zhao Manman.

"That's why I'm telling you about this here."

"Some of my admirers are business partners."

"About half a year ago, I met a boss named Zhou Xiyou during a collaboration."

"After seeing me at a dinner party, he started pursuing me."

"I never responded to him, but due to business matters, I inevitably had some interactions with him."

"Unexpectedly, after I kept refusing him, he started using his connections to target me."

"His goal is to force me to comply. The troubles at the beauty salon were actually caused by him, and now he's planning to trip up my other businesses."

"That's why I'm so troubled. These are some chat records he sent me."

Saying that, Zhao Manman took out her phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Li Zhiyan.

Li Zhiyan took the phone, looking at Zhao Manman's naturally beautiful yet ice-cold face.

He also understood why a 42-year-old woman still had so many admirers.

Beauty has nothing to do with age...

Not long ago, there were a few trending pictures on Douyin.

Who would you choose between 18-year-old Zhou Yudong and 43-year-old Gao Shuangyuan?

A completecrush...

Who would you choose between 18-year-old Zhou Yudong and 48-year-old Jia Wenjing?

Another completecrush.

18-year-old Zhou Yu was completely defeated by someone who could be her mother.

And Zhao Manman's looks were no worse than these two, and she didn't have any wrinkles at all, looking like she was only twenty-five.

Opening WeChat, Li Zhiyan saw her most recent chats.

Da Ting Bao.

Xiao Ting.

Li Zhiyan didn't expect Zhao Manman's nicknames to be so childlike.

It wasn't until he saw Xiao Yan that he couldn't help but crack a smile.

She really treated him as her son, but this nickname didn't seem quite suitable for him.

Soon, he scrolled to a chat with the nickname "Disgusting."

Zhao Manman was like that; she never swore. "Disgusting" was already her offensive trump card phrase.

July 15th, 15:12.

"Miss Zhao, let's have dinner tonight."

July 16th, 16:21.

"Miss Zhao, I'm planning to buy a villa today, want to come along?"

"I have some business matters I'd like to discuss with you at the same time."

"If you're worried about your husband, don't think too much about it, he won't find out anything."

July 17th, 23:59.

"Miss Zhao, I miss you, I really miss you."

Li Zhiyan: "..."

This Zhou Xiyou was really disgusting.

It was almost midnight, so he sent such a message?

As time went on, the invitations gradually turned into subtle threats.

August 1st, 14:12.

"Miss Zhao, if you have business difficulties, you can come to me for solutions. I can easily solve some problems. It's hard to go far in this society without connections."

August 3rd, 01:13.

"Miss Zhao, your beauty salon seems to be encountering many problems. I think such problems will only increase."

"Come here, let's talk."

"Your black silk beautiful legs really haunt my dreams."

"Junhao Hotel, Room 333."

"Tomorrow, I guarantee everything at your place will return to normal operation."

After reading for a while, Li Zhiyan returned the phone to Zhao Manman.

"Mom, does this Zhou Xiyou have a beer belly?"

Li Zhiyan remembered what Zhi Ting had told him before.

Someone said he loved Zhao Manman's black silk beautiful legs the most.

"How did you know?"

Li Zhiyan naturally didn't mention Zhi Ting's matter.

"I guessed it. Such an oily and disgusting person is pretty much what I imagined."

"Just leave this matter to me."

No matter what his background, he could gain a stronger background by going back to the past.

So a mere businessman was nothing in Li Zhiyan's eyes.

"Hmm... if you know Su Jinan, you can ask him to mediate."

"If my beauty salon can resume normal operation, this matter will be over."

Li Zhiyan nodded, but he wasn't thinking about mediation.

"Then let's go. Mom will cook for you when we get home."

Li Zhiyan remembered something and looked at Zhao Manman's black silk beautiful legs.

This finally made Zhao Manman's expression slightly unnatural, the iceberg melting just a little.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Zhiyan pointed to the hole in the black silk.

"Your black silk, it's torn."
