123: Mother-son warmth, buy the same pink Samsung for mom

Listening to her son's concern, Zhou Rongrong's beautiful face was filled with a sweet smile.

It was truly worth all the years of hard work she put into raising her son.

She gently hugged her darling son.

Zhou Rongrong said softly, "I'm very happy today, it's just your Aunt Wu."

"She seems to have something on her mind, but she won't tell me when I ask her."

Li Zhiyan remembered Zhang Honglei's antics at school, pretending to be a rich second-generation heir everywhere he went.

Five thousand yuan might not be much to a rich person, but for Aunt Wu, it was money she had to work hard for over a month to earn back.

And her son could ignore his mother for so long.

Aunt Wu must be very sad.

"Maybe Aunt Wu encountered something, you can spend more time with her if you're free."

"I won't be able to accompany you every day for the next few days."

"It's alright, Li Zhiyan, just go and get along well with Chenchen."

No matter what, Zhou Rongrong still hoped that Li Zhiyan could find his own girl; that way, as a mother, her heart would be at ease.

She gently kissed Li Zhiyan's face.

Zhou Rongrong returned to her room to sleep.

Li Zhiyan simply washed up, lay on the bed in his bedroom, and felt incredibly content.

Tomorrow, he would go traveling with Chenchen and Aunt Shen.

He hoped this trip could further break down Chenchen's psychological defenses; although he liked mature women after his rebirth, Li Zhiyan was especially fond of Su Mengchen.

His heart truly ached for Su Mengchen.

Lying there, he recalled how delightful the petite Aunt Fang was, and Li Zhiyan's hormones surged again.

Aunt Fang's soft figure was truly too tender.

However, this time, Aunt Fang was really tired out.

He'd continue trying to conceive in a few days after returning.

...

At home, Yan Zhengjin opened his online banking again.

He recharged his account on the online gambling platform.

In the past few days, he had lost over a million yuan.

Nearly two million in savings, half of it was gone.

At this moment, his face was pale, and his spirit seemed to have been completely drained, completely devoid of his former high-spirited demeanor.

"Recharge another two hundred thousand!"

Completely consumed, Yan Zhengjin had gone mad, directly depositing two hundred thousand.

"Continue playing dice."

"One hundred thousand a throw!"

"Give me a big win!"

"Big win!"

Yan Zhengjin roared continuously in the empty study room, and as the dealer counted down, he bet on a 'big'.

...

Meanwhile, Wu Qingxian tossed and turned in her home, unable to sleep.

Feeling hot, she got up and wiped her body with a cool towel, then remembered the scene of seeing Li Zhiyan this morning.

Young people just have talent and endless energy.

And Li Zhiyan even has eight-pack abs.

For a moment, Wu Qingxian's mind wandered into certain fantasies.

As she thought, she held her own hand.

She cursed herself, calling herself shameless; Li Zhiyan was truly just a child in her heart, and she had watched him grow from a darling into an adult.

How could she have such strange thoughts?

However, she had never truly experienced someone as impressive as Li Zhiyan in her life...

While Wu Qingxian was having all sorts of chaotic thoughts.

The sound of the door opening echoed.

Clearly, the only person who would come home at this hour was her son, Zhang Honglei.

She got up and went to the door, looking at Zhang Honglei, who was holding his phone and car keys.

Wu Qingxian asked, "Son, you're in a good mood."

Zhang Honglei looked down at his new shoes, which cost several thousand yuan, and thought about how he successfully showed off by driving an Audi A4 in front of his female classmates today.

His heart was filled with uncontrollable joy; he felt that if he continued to spend like this for a few more days.

Then the female classmates would go to a hotel room with him, just thinking about it made him feel great...

"Hmm, Mom."

He had originally intended to ask Wu Qingxian for five thousand yuan today, but seeing his mother in an old cheongsam, a hint of guilt arose in his heart.

So he temporarily gave up the idea of asking for money; after all, there was still some left from the five thousand he had asked for previously.

Enough for him to continue flaunting for a few more days.

For now, he wouldn't think so much about it.

In reality, when Zhang Honglei calmed down, he still felt bad for his mother, Wu Qingxian.

Like now, he was much more sober.

"I'm going to sleep first, I have something to do tomorrow."

Wu Qingxian asked with some curiosity, "Are you looking for a girlfriend?"

"Not yet, but I have a plan for it."

"That's wonderful, son! Mom is just waiting for you to graduate and get married. My biggest wish in this life is to see you settle down and establish a family."

Zhang Honglei's inner guilt deepened even further.

At this moment, Wu Qingxian noticed the Audi key in Zhang Honglei's hand.

Although she didn't have a driver's license, she recognized the Audi brand.

Because her company boss's car was an Audi A8, and during work, everyone would discuss and envy the boss's car.

But Wu Qingxian didn't expect her son to be holding an Audi key.

"Son, how do you have an Audi key?"

"My classmate lent it to me. I'm going back to sleep now."

Saying that, Zhang Honglei returned to his room, thinking about where to take his female classmate for some fun.

Also, he heard that Su Mengyue, a freshman, was currently working part-time.

If he drove this Audi A4, could he win over Su Mengyue?

Thinking of Su Mengyue's delicate face, Zhang Honglei's heart felt a little hot.

The sound of the door locking echoed, and Wu Qingxian returned to her room.

Thinking about her son's Audi key, she felt a subtle unease.

She just felt that something wasn't right.

"If Xiao Lei could be like Li Zhiyan, that would be great."

With a myriad of thoughts and worries, Wu Qingxian still found it difficult to fall asleep.

...

The next day, after Li Zhiyan woke up, his blood was still surging.

No wonder, at this age, coupled with the title's blessing, he truly possessed infinite energy.

After getting up as usual, Li Zhiyan saw his mother's best friend, Wu Qingxian, in the living room.

"Aunt Wu, you're here."

"Yes, Auntie missed you."

Saying that, Wu Qingxian stepped forward again to give Li Zhiyan a hug and kissed him on the cheek.

After they hugged, Li Zhiyan went to wash up.

After washing up, he ate breakfast.

Zhou Rongrong went out to play with Li Zhiyan again.

As they parted, Zhou Rongrong reminded him, "Son, when you're playing out of town, remember to send your mom a QQ message or a text message from time to time to let me know you're safe."

Li Zhiyan had never traveled far from home since he was little.

So Zhou Rongrong always felt uneasy.

"Don't worry, Rongrong, our son is such a mama's boy, he'll send you messages even if you don't tell him to."

"Oh, Mom, wait a moment!"

"I'll go buy you a new phone."

Hearing that Li Zhiyan wanted to buy a new phone, Zhou Rongrong clearly felt a little pained.

"Son, my phone is perfectly fine and usable. Buying a new one would be a bit too wasteful."

"Good phones now cost over a thousand yuan."

Li Zhiyan shook his head.

"Mom, I'll buy you a Samsung phone. The main thing is, if you use a smartphone, I can send you photos to let you know I'm safe when I'm out playing."

Hearing this, Zhou Rongrong no longer felt the pinch of money.

When her son was traveling far away, her heart would certainly be anxious every moment; if she could see photos, it would be different.

"Alright then, Mom will wait for you here."

"You go buy it."

Afterward, Li Zhiyan went to the Samsung flagship store outside the neighborhood.

He bought a Samsung phone of the same model as his own and, at the same time, got a new 3G card at the mobile business hall.

"Mom, look, ours are the same model of phone, it's just that the one for you is pink because you're a girl."

"Mine is black."

Zhou Rongrong's beautiful face was full of gentle smiles, and her eyes were filled with maternal radiance.

Her son had truly grown up.

"Li Zhiyan, how much was this phone?"

"3400."

After unboxing the phone, Li Zhiyan helped his mother trim the SIM card and then activated the new Samsung phone.

"Mom, I'll download QQ for you."

"Using a smartphone might feel unfamiliar at first, but you'll get used to it completely after a while."

Sitting down with Zhou Rongrong, nestled in his mother's arms, Li Zhiyan taught his mother how to use the smartphone.

Just like when he was little, his mother taught him to read character by character.

Watching this scene of motherly kindness and filial piety.

Wu Qingxian's heart was truly envious to the extreme; this was truly a happy family, whereas her own son had no such attitude towards her.

Let alone giving her gifts, he hadn't even given her a gift on her birthday.

Besides asking her for money to buy designer brands, and every time she didn't give him money, he would throw a tantrum at her.

In comparison, Li Zhiyan was truly too good.

"Mom, look, click this to take a picture."

"Then click confirm and send it to me, and I'll be able to see the photos you send me."

"You can also see the ones I send you."

"From now on, you can just use this phone number."

"I've already set up the monthly data plan for this phone number for you."

Zhou Rongrong looked at the photos Li Zhiyan sent her and felt very relieved.

This way, even if her son was away, she could still know his news.

"Okay, then Mom will go out to play with your Aunt Wu."

Zhou Rongrong also knew that Wu Qingxian had something on her mind, so she wanted to spend more time with her.

"Goodbye, Mom."

...

As the two left the house, Wu Qingxian said enviously, "Rongrong, honestly, I truly envy you."

"We're both women, but you gave birth to such a good son."

"He's so patient with you. Now it seems that a mama's boy is better."

Zhou Rongrong still smiled gently.

"A mama's boy can be good, but if he marries later, his wife might dislike him."

"I still have a bit of a headache; my son is too clingy to me."

"Will his future girlfriend dislike him for being a mama's boy?"

Wu Qingxian felt a little helpless.

"I wish my son were a mama's boy."

"Unfortunately, he can barely be bothered with me."

"He only ever asks me for money, and ever since he went to college, he's been asking for more and more money."

"His monthly expenses are over two thousand yuan."

Hearing this, Zhou Rongrong was also startled...

Over two thousand yuan, that was a bit too exaggerated. She knew very well that her best friend's salary, even after switching to a new company, was only a little over four thousand.

She also had to pay for rent, utilities, and living expenses. If over two thousand yuan was taken for living expenses every month, then there wouldn't be much money left at all.

"What could cost over two thousand yuan?"

Zhou Rongrong found it a bit unbelievable. Her son, who earned so much money, had never squandered or wasted it.

Zhou Rongrong could feel that Li Zhiyan was very methodical with his money.

He wouldn't squander or waste it like some newly rich people.

That's why Zhou Rongrong felt so at ease with her son.

"It's just that he usually likes to buy some designer clothes and things like that."

"If I don't give it to him, he gets angry."

Zhou Rongrong didn't know what to say. Her best friend's constant melancholy indeed had a reason.

Having such a son, anyone would probably not be in a good mood.

"It will get better in the future, the child is just young."

"I hope so..."

Wu Qingxian forced a smile, her fondness for Li Zhiyan growing even stronger.

Unfortunately, someone else's son was still someone else's son. He would give his own mother a phone, but he wouldn't give her a phone, and she had no right to think about him giving her any gifts.

Her birthday was approaching soon, and it would probably be another lonely night.

...

After tidying himself up, just as Li Zhiyan was about to leave.

He received a call from Shen Rongfei.

"Li Zhiyan."

"Are you ready? Auntie will pick you up, and we'll go to the train station."

Because Su Mengchen's leg was not very convenient, Shen Rongfei still decided to drive herself for convenience.

Once they arrived at the train station, they could just find a paid parking lot and park the car.

"Okay, then please come over. I'm at Left Bank Garden."

Hearing Left Bank Garden, Shen Rongfei was also a little surprised.

"Li Zhiyan, did you buy a house at Left Bank Garden?"

Although Left Bank Garden didn't fall into the category of luxury homes, it was clearly a step above ordinary residential areas.

She had previously considered buying a 140-square-meter unit there.

But in the end, she chose the large flat here.

"Yes, my mom and I used to rent houses, and living in someone else's house always felt uncomfortable, so after I earned money, I bought a new house here."

In the spacious apartment, Shen Rongfei's black-stockinged beautiful legs were pacing back and forth.

Looking at her daughter who was putting on makeup in the room, she felt a little surprised.

Every time she thought of Li Zhiyan's achievements, her heart could not be calm.

In business, Li Zhiyan truly had an undeniable talent. If he were a rich second-generation, then earning enough for a house at 18 would be within the normal range, because wealthy families could afford the costs and risks of their children messing around.

However, Li Zhiyan came from a single-parent family.

For him to be able to buy a house at 18 in this era was simply a miracle. Shen Rongfei was truly and completely satisfied with this future son-in-law.

Moreover, she could feel that he genuinely liked her daughter very much. When they went to Su City this time, she must try her best to create some opportunities for her daughter and him.

Perhaps their relationship couldn't be immediately confirmed, but she had to bring them closer so that her heart could be at ease.

"Then Aunt will call you when we're almost there."

"Okay, Mom."

...

After hanging up the phone, Shen Rongfei went into Su Mengchen's bedroom. Su Mengchen had already finished her eyeliner.

She, who originally had a 9-point beauty score, was now breathtakingly beautiful.

However, compared to Shen Rongfei, there was still a considerable gap. Shen Rongfei was simply too beautiful.

Like Fang Zhiya and Jiang Xian, they were very beautiful, but Shen Rongfei belonged to the type of beauty among beauties.

Her naturally enchanting temperament was truly a huge bonus...

"Chenchen, you're dressed so beautifully today. It seems you really have a good impression of Li Zhiyan."

Su Mengchen's pretty face flushed as she lowered her head.

"Mom, will he like me dressed like this?"

Clearly, under Li Zhiyan's persistent chatting, Su Mengchen's emotional defenses had opened up far too much.

"He definitely will. My daughter is so beautiful, how could he not like her?"

"And he told Mom."

"He really wants to be with you. He calls me Mom every time he sees me now."

"It's enough to show how sincere he is."

Su Mengchen was too shy to speak again.

"Alright, Chenchen, let's go find Li Zhiyan."

"Mm..."

Su Mengchen nodded very seriously.

On the way, she constantly struggled with her timid and insecure self.

She already had the idea of being with Li Zhiyan.

However, overcoming oneself was not an easy task.

After the mercedes-benz s drove to the outside of the Left Bank Garden community, Shen Rongfei parked the car.

From a distance, she saw the tall and handsome Li Zhiyan jogging over.

"Mom."

Li Zhiyan enthusiastically called Shen Rongfei Mom.

At this moment, Su Mengchen, sitting in the back, began to blush again.

He liked to call her mother 'Mom' so much.

He must be expressing his determination to be with her.

"You go sit in the back, sit with Chenchen, and let's go."

"Okay."

After Li Zhiyan sat down, Shen Rongfei set off.

Li Zhiyan looked at Su Mengchen's outfit today. Sure enough, she dressed according to his preference.

JK with a short skirt, that unique youthful charm of a young girl was fully displayed on her.

Those fair and flawless beautiful legs made Li Zhiyan unable to take his eyes off them.

When the time was right in the future, he would have to kiss these beautiful legs that belonged to him properly.

"Chenchen, your light makeup today is so beautiful."

"Your outfit looks good too."

Although these compliments were very direct, Li Zhiyan knew very well.

Su Mengchen needed such compliments to regain her confidence.

"Mm..."

Su Mengchen responded softly. Although still shy, she was clearly much better than before.

After the car drove all the way to the train station.

Shen Rongfei dropped the two of them off near a paid parking lot and went to park.

She was very grateful to Li Zhiyan. All the way, Li Zhiyan had been praising her daughter.

If he didn't truly like her, given his current conditions, he wouldn't need to be so attentive to her daughter.

After all, he was so handsome; as long as he wanted, there would be plenty of girls throwing themselves at him.

...

"Chenchen, hold my arm tightly later."

"Don't get separated. The train station is chaotic and full of all sorts of people, scammers are everywhere."

"So you must be very careful."

Li Zhiyan's words startled Su Mengchen. Under Shen Rongfei's protection, she had always been well-protected. At this moment, being somewhat scared, she subconsciously grabbed Li Zhiyan's arm, wanting to find that sense of security.

The smooth touch that came made Li Zhiyan's heart flutter. Fortunately, his self-control was much better now.

Unlike when he first reincarnated, he couldn't control himself at all.

"Mm..."

"I know."

Behind them, Shen Rongfei, who had parked the car and was coming over with her backpack, was also a little surprised. She didn't expect her daughter to have already held Li Zhiyan's hand.

This was truly a significant improvement.

"Chenchen, Li Zhiyan, let's go."

Walking on the road, Shen Rongfei was in a very good mood. Walking with the two children, she already had a feeling of being a family of three.

And because Li Zhiyan always called her Mom, Shen Rongfei subconsciously felt that Li Zhiyan was her son.

The train station was very crowded. Su Mengchen had been holding Li Zhiyan's arm the whole time, worried that a bad person would pull her away.

After checking tickets and entering the station, there was almost no place to sit.

The group found a corner and stood up.

Looking at Mother-in-law wearing black stockings, high heels, and a red short skirt.

Li Zhiyan said caringly, "Mom, if your feet hurt, I'll give you a massage when we arrive in Su City."

Li Zhiyan was extremely filial to Shen Rongfei; he treated Shen Rongfei as his own mother.

"Okay, Li Zhiyan, thank you."

Shen Rongfei didn't try to be strong. High heels, no matter how experienced you were at wearing them, would always make you tired...

And Li Zhiyan's traditional Chinese medicine skills were indeed very miraculous; his speed at that time seemed to have a unique magic.

Not long after, it was time to check tickets. After the three got on the train, Su Mengchen felt a little uneasy.

With so many people, it was her first time leaving the province, and she seemed a bit at a loss.

"Mom, Chenchen, you two sit inside, I'll sit outside."

"The train is really too crowded now."

Shen Rongfei felt a sense of warmth and emotion. This child was truly good and very considerate.

"Okay."

Su Mengchen sat in the innermost spot, while Shen Rongfei sat in the middle.

After Li Zhiyan sat down next to Shen Rongfei, he felt very much at ease.

In his previous life, after his mother passed away, the person who was best to him in this world was undoubtedly Shen Rongfei.

In this life, he had to protect this elder and absolutely not let her suffer any harm.

After their eyes met, Shen Rongfei was slightly stunned.

From Li Zhiyan's eyes, Shen Rongfei felt a complex emotion.

That look was like looking at a relative who had been separated for a very, very long time.

In his heart, did he consider her family?

Thinking that Li Zhiyan always called her Mom, Shen Rongfei's heart felt inexplicably a little sour.

Although she didn't know why...

But Shen Rongfei always had a feeling that he truly cared about her.

Had she and he experienced something together?

But Shen Rongfei couldn't remember.

Unable to figure it out, Shen Rongfei felt a little headache.

However... since she couldn't figure it out, then she might as well not think about it.

In her daughter's life, the appearance of such a person was, after all, a lucky thing.

...

When the car arrived in Su City.

Li Zhiyan also felt a headache looking at the crowded train station.

Traveling during the holidays was indeed not a wise thing to do.

The imagined trip was to travel around mountains and rivers, extremely leisurely, but in reality, traveling meant spending eight out of ten hours waiting in line for public restrooms.

"Let's find a hotel to stay in first. After lunch."

"We'll go out and play in the afternoon."

Li Zhiyan listened carefully to Shen Rongfei's words. Looking at the task execution time, he also made a plan for completing the task.

He absolutely had to get those 100,000 yuan.

And he also had to protect Mother-in-law and not let Su Yu's affair continue to be kept secret.

At least, Aunt Shen should be mentally prepared so that she wouldn't be deceived so badly in the future.

After Shen Rongfei took Li Zhiyan and Su Mengchen to a slightly more upscale hotel by taxi.

They checked into two rooms.

During National Day, ordinary hotels in cities like Su City were basically fully booked.

However, the lives of rich people never required waiting in line.

After putting away his small bag, Li Zhiyan went to the adjacent room.

At this moment, Shen Rongfei was already lying on the sofa, her pair of slender, black-stockinged beautiful legs looking very eye-catching.

"Chenchen, how do you feel about coming to Su City?"

Li Zhiyan sat beside Shen Rongfei and asked Su Mengchen.

Su Mengchen, sitting on the opposite sofa, timidly said, "I just feel a little unaccustomed. I've never been out of the province before, but with you and Mom by my side, I feel very at ease."

Shen Rongfei's beautiful face was filled with surprise.

Her daughter could actually talk so much with Li Zhiyan now...

Compared to her previous state, there really had been a tremendous change.

"That's good, Chenchen, I'll take you to many places to play in the future."

Su Mengchen lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Zhiyan. Her shyness was even greater than Fang Zhiya's.

Fang Zhiya's shyness was due to her traditional inner self.

And Su Mengchen's shyness was because she was just an 18-year-old girl.

"Mom, do your feet hurt?"

"You stood for so long at the train station today, and walked so far after arriving in Su City, it must be uncomfortable, right?"

Li Zhiyan knew that Mother-in-law was very particular about high heels.

Except when driving, she wore flat shoes; otherwise, no matter how tired she was, she would wear high heels.

And her obsession with black stockings was the deepest.

She had to wear black stockings at all times.

"Mm, a little."

"Then let me give you a massage."

Looking at Li Zhiyan in front of her, Shen Rongfei nodded.

"Okay..."

Then, Li Zhiyan gently picked up Shen Rongfei's two black-stockinged jade feet and placed them on his lap.

He truly felt distressed for his elder.

Aunt Shen was too important to him, so if she was in pain.

He had to help alleviate it.

After Li Zhiyan held Shen Rongfei's ankle, he gently began to massage.

Although it was a foot massage, Li Zhiyan was a filial child.

He didn't dislike Shen Rongfei at all; instead, he worked very hard.

"Mom, is the pressure okay?"

"It's fine..."

Shen Rongfei closed her eyes, her beautiful face carrying some inexplicable expression.

This child was truly so filial, always thinking of her.

She must make such a filial child her son-in-law.

Watching Li Zhiyan massage his mother.

Su Mengchen also felt very happy. Li Zhiyan was not only good to her but also very, very good to her mother.

If... if she married him in the future, life would surely be very happy, right?

After a long time, Li Zhiyan finally released Shen Rongfei.

"Mom, do you feel better about the pain in your ankles?"

"Much better, it doesn't hurt anymore, Li Zhiyan, you're really amazing."

Looking at the approximate time, Shen Rongfei stood up and put on her favorite black high heels with red soles.

Then she said to the two children, "Let's go eat."

"Okay."

The three people came to the hotel restaurant. In the restaurant, countless eyes were focused on the mother and daughter.

Especially a woman as beautiful as Shen Rongfei, she was truly rare in real life.

Shen Rongfei handed the menu to Li Zhiyan and Su Mengchen.

At this moment, Li Zhiyan was already thinking about getting evidence of Su Yu's affair.

His phone could take pictures...

He could complete the task just by following the system's prompts.

Anyway, Su Yu didn't know him at this point in time, so he could openly take pictures of the evidence.
