Chapter 19: Ji Mengting and Zhao Manman Confess Their Divorce

Zhao Manman looked down and only then realized that her black stockings had a hole in them without her knowing when.

She had been a bit distracted lately, so she hadn't paid much attention.

"Let's buy a new pair nearby."

Li Zhiyan didn't find this strange.

He knew Zhao Manman's fondness for black stockings.

Even at home, he had never seen Zhao Manman's bare legs.

The two finished their cold drinks and left the coffee shop.

They arrived at the second floor of a shopping mall. Li Zhiyan walked beside Zhao Manman, looking only two or three years younger than her.

"Hello, sir, what style would your wife like to buy?"

Li Zhiyan felt helpless.

"Miss, you've mistaken me. This is my mother."

The sales assistant was a bit confused. She looked closely, still feeling that Li Zhiyan was joking.

"Sir, are you joking? I'm only 23, and this elder sister looks even younger than me."

The sales assistant looked a bit older, so standing next to Zhao Manman, she indeed looked a bit older than her.

"It's absolutely true."

After receiving confirmation again, the sales assistant's eyes were full of envy.

"Please find me a pair of black stockings."

The sales assistant asked, "Miss, what thickness do you prefer? Is 10D acceptable?"

"I like 40D and above."

Li Zhiyan didn't understand the specific differences in black stocking thickness.

However, he roughly guessed that the larger the D number, the blacker they would appear, and the stronger that mysterious feeling would be.

But very thick black stockings are generally difficult for most women to pull off.

"Then please try this pair. Honestly, I've never seen such beautiful legs of your caliber."

"They are truly born for black stockings."

Zhao Manman took the black stockings and went to the fitting room.

Meanwhile, Li Zhiyan sat there and made a call to Su Jinan.

Su Jinan was in a meeting at the time, but upon seeing Li Zhiyan's call, he immediately ran out...

"Mr. Li, you've arrived..."

He knew Li Zhiyan wasn't that Mr. Li, but his representative.

So, addressing him this way was fine.

At this moment, Su Jinan's heart tensed up.

He was very clear about the terrifying background of Mr. Li.

Was he here to stir up trouble this time?

"Yes, a beauty salon on Furong Road has been having some problems recently."

"Could you help me look into this?"

Su Jinan was a bit surprised but immediately promised to handle the matter.

"Don't worry, you'll have a very detailed result on this matter today."

Li Zhiyan hummed in response and hung up the phone.

"Connections and background are indeed much more useful."

"Although money is effective, in this society, encountering people with connections can easily lead to being choked."

After the last incident, Li Zhiyan had already thought about his future development direction.

He needed to formulate more plans and then have Xiao Li win over those prominent figures in Modu in advance.

That way, he would be worry-free in the future.

"Wow... your legs are truly beautiful, especially long, and the thickness is just perfect."

Li Zhiyan looked up at the sound, and Zhao Manman walked out wearing the new black stockings.

Although the sales assistant's praise was professional, at this moment, it came from her heart.

Even if she herself wasn't particularly attractive, if she could have such a pair of beautiful legs, it would be enough to captivate many people, not to mention a D+ grade...

A D+ grade is not exaggerated, yet it's just enough to drive people crazy.

When a figure is good enough, as long as one isn't ugly, looks aren't actually that important.

"Alright, this one it is. Check out."

The sales assistant took the tag and printed the bill.

"You can go to the counter on the right to check out and then give me the receipt."

Zhao Manman was about to go, but Li Zhiyan took the bill and went to pay.

Watching Li Zhiyan's back, Zhao Manman felt that it would be quite nice if Li Zhiyan stayed by her side.

She had no sons in this life, and Li Zhiyan was like her son.

After paying, Li Zhiyan carried the bag containing Zhao Manman's original black stockings and followed her out of the mall.

She didn't have the habit of discarding her worn clothes outside.

"Let's go home, Mom will cook for you."

After getting into the car, Zhao Manman changed into flat shoes again.

Upon arriving home, she didn't mind the trouble and changed back into Valentino.

Zhao Manman's house was a small villa. It wasn't too expensive when she bought it.

Now it was sky-high. In terms of net worth, she was definitely a billionaire.

As for how much money she had exactly, Li Zhiyan didn't know.

Even Ji Mengting and Ji Zhiting didn't know.

As soon as he got home, Li Zhiyan saw his elegant father-in-law, Ji Yunhai.

"Uncle Ji."

"Xiao Yan is back. I have something to go out for, so I won't be eating at home. You two go ahead and eat."

Ji Yunhai put on his leather shoes, said something to Zhao Manman, and left.

Li Zhiyan didn't mind; he wasn't very familiar with Ji Yunhai.

However, he was still decent to him. Of course, he looked down on his career just like Zhao Manman.

"Uncle, he's going out when it's so hot?"

Zhao Manman glanced at Ji Yunhai.

"He's busy with business; it's normal for him not to come back."

Sitting on the sofa, Li Zhiyan smelled a strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Such a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Mom, are you sick?"

Zhao Manman frowned. Ji Yunhai was rarely home before, and when he boiled medicine at home, he would hide from others. This time, Li Zhiyan smelled it.

Eighteen years ago, Ji Yunhai's health had developed very serious problems.

At that time, the two of them had already separated...

Having maintained this for eighteen years, Zhao Manman didn't know when a turning point would appear.

"It's your uncle; he has some health issues."

Saying that, she picked up the medicine pot and poured the remaining medicine into the trash can.

After doing all that, Zhao Manman changed into slippers and sat down beside Li Zhiyan, planning to rest a bit before cooking. Just then, Ji Mengting's video call came in.

She clicked on Da Ting Bao's video request.

"Mom."

"I have good news to tell you."

"My company is making money! I am now a real multi-millionaire, and I'm confident I can reach a hundred million within a year!"

"And venture capitalists have already approached us. We can definitely go public in the future. I want to be a successful woman like you."

Through some of the experience Zhao Manman had given her, Ji Mengting was very confident in building the company into a listed company with a market value of several billions.

"Hmm, Xiao Yan is here with me. When he goes back, transfer half of the company's shares to him. You two should live a good life together."

Hearing this, Ji Mengting immediately refused anxiously.

"No... this is my money."

"This isn't your money; this is Mom's money. Give half to Xiao Yan."

Zhao Manman brought out her elder's authority, and Ji Mengting knew she couldn't resist.

"Actually... Li Zhiyan and I have already divorced."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manman felt dizzy...

Her phone also fell to the ground. Seeing this, Li Zhiyan hung up Ji Mengting's video call.

This woman, saying this at this time.

"Are you alright, Mom?"

Li Zhiyan gently massaged Zhao Manman's temples.

After five minutes, Zhao Manman slowly opened her eyes.

She hadn't expected that her daughter and Li Zhiyan had actually divorced.

If she had known earlier, this money should have been given to Li Zhiyan, and things wouldn't have come to this point.

"Xiao Yan... you two are divorced, so you have no relation to Mom anymore. Why are you still here?"

Zhao Manman found it impossible to accept this matter just thinking about it.

"I remember all your kindness to me very clearly. Even though we're divorced, your place in my heart will never change."

"I came this time mainly to solve your problems."

Zhao Manman's heart was filled with emotion as she listened; a sentimental feeling arose within her, and she grasped Li Zhiyan's hand.
