48: In fact, love has nothing to do with age

Chapter 48: Love Has Nothing To Do With Age

At this moment, Zhao Manman was also lost in thought.

Her daughter was not in Wan City.

There was no point in her going to Wan City now, right?

Her main purpose in looking for Li Zhiyan was...

Primarily to bring him and Meng Ting together.

But...

Li Zhiyan had already invited her; he truly respected and valued her as a mother in his heart.

When he found out about the situation here before,

He immediately came, traveling thousands of miles.

He valued her so much, treating her as a family member.

Then she should also treat him like her own son.

What's wrong with spending a few days with her son?

If she wanted to mend Meng Ting and Li Zhiyan's marriage,

Then she must have an in-depth conversation with Li Zhiyan to make him listen to her.

Moreover, in this huge villa,

That feeling of unease was growing stronger and stronger.

Here, she always felt uncomfortable.

Zhao Manman: “Alright, son, then in a few days, after I finish up these things on hand, I’ll go to Wan City to find you. How does that sound?”

Li Zhiyan: “Okay, Mom, then I’ll wait for you in Wan City.”

“Actually, if you’re feeling down, just think more about the interesting things in life. That will make you feel much better.”

Zhao Manman recalled Yang Aunt's matter.

She still found it hard to accept, but thinking about other people's affairs indeed helped alleviate her anxiety.

Zhao Manman: “However, Mom did encounter a very interesting thing today.”

“Do you still remember that Yang Aunt you met before?”

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment; it seemed he had indeed met her before.

He had seen her during the New Year, but then Li Zhiyan recalled how Ji Zhiting always went to her grandmother's house during the New Year and never met him.

Li Zhiyan: “I remember now, it was during the New Year.”

“I also saw that aunt in the red dress, but she looked a few years older than you.”

Zhao Manman's maintenance was absolutely superb, allowing her to look like she was in her mid-twenties at 42 years old.

This was something Yang Xintao could never compare to.

Zhao Manman: “Yes, that’s the aunt.”

“Mom, let me tell you, she fell in love with a boy.”

Li Zhiyan: “A boy?”

At this moment, he was also a bit curious about what was going on.

Zhao Manman: “Hmm, that boy seems to be from her company, more than ten years younger than her, probably sixteen or seventeen years younger.”

“Mom even advised her, as it’s unethical, and younger boys aren’t reliable, but she didn’t listen.”

Li Zhiyan: “Actually, reliability has nothing to do with age or anything else.”

“It mainly depends on the person.”

“Older people aren’t necessarily reliable, and people who stay by your side all day aren’t necessarily reliable either.”

“After all, you know a person’s face, but not their heart...”

Li Zhiyan lay on the bed, looking at his phone screen, and he poked Zhao Manman again.

Zhao Manman: “Perhaps, we’ll see what happens next.”

“I hope they can really have a good outcome. Your Yang Aunt is actually quite pitiful.”

“Mom needs to do some preparatory work. When I go to Wan City,”

“I’ll let you know.”

Following that was a smiling emoji.

Zhao Manman really liked such emojis.

...

“Babe, time to eat!”

The shout from outside sounded, and only then did Li Zhiyan put down his phone.

He arrived in the living room.

“Sister, is this breakfast or lunch?”

Wu Yuexian untied her apron.

“It’s probably lunch and breakfast combined.”

“Come, Babe, have an egg first. It’s very necessary to supplement nutrition every day.”

Li Zhiyan dared not make trouble and obediently listened.

The three of them ate breakfast, and Liu Xiaoyun still found Li Zhiyan very displeasing.

While they were eating, Wu Yuexian's phone rang.

“Uncle.”

Li Zhiyan didn't speak. Wu Yuexian had a paternal uncle.

When Wu Yuexian's parents had an accident, many people had contacted her uncle.

But this uncle had never returned.

No one knew what the situation was.

However, after Wu Yuexian grew up, Wu Yuexian's uncle and aunt proactively came to their door.

And explained that they hadn't received the calls back then.

No one knew what the situation was like back then.

But Li Zhiyan disliked this man and Wu Yuexian's aunt very much.

“I understand. Then you all go to Guyue Teahouse later.”

Wu Yuexian spoke, and her mood didn't seem good either.

“Li Yuexian, what’s wrong?”

Wu Yuexian glanced at Li Zhiyan and didn't argue with him about the issue.

“It’s my uncle and aunt passing through Wan City and wanting to see me.”

Back then, her own uncle and aunt didn't take her in.

Instead, her parents' friends raised her from a young age.

Wu Yuexian harbored a considerable amount of resentment towards them in her heart.

And in her heart, her uncle was just a blood-related stranger.

Only Li Zhiyan, Li Dad, and Li Ma were her true relatives and family.

No one could ever replace them in the slightest.

Li Zhiyan didn't continue speaking. If they were just passing by for a visit, then he wouldn't say anything.

...

After finishing the meal,

The three of them headed to Guyue Teahouse.

There weren't many teahouses open now.

More than ten years ago, teahouses were everywhere.

At that time, QQ had just become popular, and there were many people meeting netizens.

And the cheapness of teahouses and the fact that they didn't require an ID made them a passionate place for many people.

Upon arriving at private room 888, Li Zhiyan saw two people he disliked.

After sitting down, he also didn't speak.

Wu Jingzhi didn't pay attention to Li Zhiyan and Liu Xiaoyun.

Instead, he looked at Wu Yuexian enthusiastically.

“Yuexian, you’ve grown so tall. You’re truly beautiful now.”

“Even more beautiful than in your Moments.”

Wu Yuexian didn't like posting on Moments. It was just that when she was at her previous company, female colleagues took a group photo.

Everyone posted it on Moments, so she did too.

“Uncle, is there something you need this time?”

Regarding Wu Jingzhi’s enthusiasm...

Wu Yuexian completely ignored it.

She also disliked this uncle in her heart.

“This time, your uncle and I are indeed here for something.”

The aunt behind her spoke.

“Your uncle and I feel that since you are a Wu, it's really not appropriate for you to always stay at Li Zhiyan's home.”

“I think you should return to Fujian with us as soon as possible.”

“After all, a girl still needs to return to her roots.”

Wu Yuexian shook her head.

“That’s impossible. I’ve never had anyone love me since I was little. My home is in Chao Lake.”

“I don’t have any other home.”

“The place with Xiao Yan is also home, but Fujian is definitely not my home.”

She was very clear-headed.

She knew very well who truly loved her, and no one could make her abandon her current home.

“Yuexian, Uncle will tell you frankly, I’ve introduced a match for you. His family is very rich, and he saw your photo and liked it very much.”
