132: Director Yin, you don't want your secret to be known, right?

Yin Xueyang realized that she had never hated her illness so much.

Urinary incontinence when emotions fluctuate is a medical condition.

Normally, Yin Xueyang had always hidden it very well.

But just now, it was truly a matter of life and death.

In a state of fear, Yin Xueyang simply couldn't remain calm.

Li Zhiyan sniffed the air and saw that Yin Xueyang was still spitting water from her mouth.

She had clearly drunk a lot when she was underwater just now.

"Director Yin, I didn't expect you to have such a condition."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

Li Zhiyan said very seriously.

For some reason, he felt like he should add a line.

"Director Yin, you wouldn't want your secret to be known by others, would you?"

Then he would bow his head and add, "Please, Madam!"

Smelling that faint scent, he finally understood why he always felt Yin Xueyang had that kind of aura.

However, to be fair, it inexplicably smelled quite good.

Although Li Zhiyan seriously said he would keep Yin Xueyang's secret, from Yin Xueyang's perspective, the meaning was completely different.

He was clearly trying to use this secret to threaten her.

But why was she the one being threatened again?

"Li Zhiyan, Auntie will help you revoke your punishment when she gets back."

"And your condition, tell Auntie what you want her to agree to."

"If you want money, Auntie can give you a generous living allowance, and you'll also get a spot for the highest tier scholarship."

In Yin Xueyang's opinion, young students like Li Zhiyan, who hadn't seen much of the world, were definitely money-grubbers.

So, as long as she appeased him with money, the matter would be over.

Yin Xueyang still planned to deal with Li Zhiyan, but she also had to repay the life-saving favor.

"Director Yin, the punishment must be revoked."

"As for the demands, I need to think about it, because I haven't decided yet."

Li Zhiyan said with a smile, and at this moment, under the sunlight, Yin Xueyang's graceful figure, completely drenched, was outlined by the wet clothes.

Such a good figure made Li Zhiyan unable to take his eyes off her.

Yin Xueyang originally wanted to exchange contact information with Li Zhiyan, but seeing her bag still floating in the river, she reluctantly gave up.

Her phone was already water-damaged and useless, but there was nothing valuable in the bag, so it wasn't worth retrieving.

"Alright, when you've thought about it, come to my office."

"I will try my best to satisfy you."

Yin Xueyang stood up, and that faint scent inexplicably made Li Zhiyan a little excited.

"I'll go first."

Seeing a few passersby nearby looking at her, Yin Xueyang stopped again. Walking while soaking wet was truly too embarrassing and revealing.

At the same time, her gaze occasionally darted towards Li Zhiyan, the feeling of dread in her heart uncontrollable. Remembering how Li Zhiyan had held her from behind while swimming just now, she couldn't control her condition again.

Although Li Zhiyan had a grudge against Yin Xueyang, he saw those men who had stopped to gaze at Yin Xueyang's wet figure.

He walked forward to shoo them away, then went to the riverbank where he had entered the water.

He threw his shorts directly into the water and put on his outer pants.

He took his shirt and phone and went to Yin Xueyang's side.

"Director Yin."

"You can wear this shirt. Find a place to properly clean up later."

"Don't catch a cold. I'll go first."

After Li Zhiyan handed the shirt to Yin Xueyang, Yin Xueyang quickly took it and put it on. With the shirt, the embarrassment was significantly reduced.

"Tha... thank you..."

Yin Xueyang said in a low voice, her tone very unnatural, and Li Zhiyan didn't linger there either, leaving the scene.

He knew that this woman would definitely not settle down. After her conditions were met, she would definitely use despicable means against him again.

He had heard about Yin Xueyang's behavior in her previous life, so he had to strike her hard, making her fall into complete despair, only then would she finally settle down.

Walking on the road, many girls looked at Li Zhiyan with unusual gazes.

And the way he swayed as he walked made many women's hearts flutter.

This young man had such a good physique, and he was so handsome!

Among them, two young married women even proactively came over and asked Li Zhiyan if he wanted to get a room.

Because of their average looks, Li Zhiyan directly refused.

In reality, he wasn't that kind of casual person; he truly couldn't bring himself to be with overly casual women, after all, it would be troublesome if he got sick.

He preferred women with an emotional foundation, who weren't casual; he felt at ease with them.

"My savings are already 1.7 million yuan. Tomorrow, I'll go do Aunt Wu's task."

Yin Xueyang's task was already completed.

So, he also had to prepare for his mother's best friend's matter.

Afterward, Li Zhiyan first went to a clothing store to buy a shirt, then went to a phone store.

After asking the boss, he found the same model of phone.

"What color do you want?"

"Pink, please."

"Is it for your girlfriend?"

"Sort of, but not yet. I haven't returned to my hometown yet."

Li Zhiyan had a dream of going to Zhang Honglei's hometown.

Zhang Honglei's house hadn't been cleaned for too long; leaving the old house vacant was too simple.

He had to go clean it up and see if he could add some things to the house in his hometown later.

"Young man, you're truly nostalgic, still remembering to go back to your hometown."

"Many young people nowadays forget their roots after coming to big cities."

"Yeah, I just like to visit my friends' hometowns."

Chatting, Li Zhiyan bought the phone. A phone worth a few thousand yuan was nothing to him at all.

...

The scorching sun continuously baked Yin Xueyang, and that somewhat cold feeling dissipated a lot.

"When I get back, I'm definitely going to use my connections to find out who that woman is, and then I'll deal with her severely!"

Thinking about how that woman ran away after pushing her into the water, Yin Xueyang was furious. When had she ever suffered such indignity?

Then, the scene of Li Zhiyan holding her while swimming kept replaying in her mind.

Slowly standing up, Yin Xueyang walked towards a hotel not far away.

She was very careful along the way, afraid of stepping on something sharp. After arriving at the hotel and checking into a room, Yin Xueyang first took a shower.

While showering, the scene of Li Zhiyan holding her while swimming kept replaying, and just thinking about it, Yin Xueyang's old habit flared up.

She truly disliked Li Zhiyan, but today she owed him such a huge favor.

Would he make excessive demands of her?

Lost in thought, Yin Xueyang didn't feel much fear at this moment. Her social status and financial resources were there, so she wasn't afraid of Li Zhiyan causing trouble.

It was just that this life-saving grace truly had to be repaid.

Before he made his demands, she would temporarily put aside her suppression of him.

After a while, she lay down on the bed and called her best friend using the phone on the nightstand.

She was somewhat fortunate that her best friend's phone number was a lucky number.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't have remembered the number.

"Send me a pair of shoes and a set of clothes."

"What happened, beautiful Yin?"

"I accidentally fell into the water, but I'm fine now."

"Alright, where are you? I'll be free in half an hour. I'll come find you as soon as I'm done."

"I'm at Tianyi Hotel."

After ending the call, Yin Xueyang estimated that her best friend would arrive in over an hour.

Looking at her three fingers, Yin Xueyang remembered why she hadn't looked for a man for so many years.

Because she felt that ordinary men were far from meeting her requirements.

After all, there were too few people who had achieved great things.

She looked down on unpromising young men.

But Li Zhiyan... he truly achieved great things early. Who could compare their life achievements to his?

Then, Yin Xueyang slowly closed her eyes.

...

Afterward, Li Zhiyan went to Commercial Street and got a cup of milk tea.

The gym entrance on Commercial Street already had a 'for rent' sign posted.

However, such a large venue was truly difficult to rent out.

Aside from being a gym or beauty salon, such a large space wasn't really needed, and renting such a place carried too much risk.

"Let's go see Aunt Wang."

"Let Aunt Wang help me negotiate the price."

The reason Li Zhiyan liked Wang Shangyan so much was inseparable from Wang Shangyan's previous help with his milk tea shop.

When Li Zhiyan arrived at the school supermarket.

Sure enough, Wang Shangyan was still there.

"Aunt Wang."

The moment she saw Li Zhiyan, Wang Shangyan felt an inexplicable warmth. The theory Li Zhiyan had presented earlier seemed more and more absurd the more she thought about it.

But she had agreed to it nonetheless, and now she feared that he would express his affection for her whenever he saw her during his free time.

"Li Zhiyan, why did you change your clothes?"

Wang Shangyan was a meticulous woman and noticed Li Zhiyan's change.

Also, why was this child walking so unsteadily, a little wobbly?

Wang Shangyan's heart was beating a little fast.

"I sweated, so I changed."

"Aunt Wang, the gym space has started to be advertised for rent. Come with me to take a look."

Wang Shangyan didn't expect it to be so soon and couldn't help but worry about Li Zhiyan's investment.

Although an Internet Cafe was novel, such a large venue undoubtedly required a very high investment. Taking over the entire second floor would probably require millions of yuan in investment.

"Okay, let's go."

The two walked side by side, Wang Shangyan said with some concern: "Li Zhiyan."

"Auntie still has to advise you, invest with caution."

"Never do anything impulsive."

"Are you really going to open this Internet Cafe?"

If he were doing it himself, Li Zhiyan would really tremble a bit.

But the system fully managed it for him, and there was a one-million-yuan cashback. The machines and renovation were all handled by the system.

It was like getting a business that earned a million yuan a year for free, so of course, he had to do it.

"Don't worry, Aunt Wang."

"Since I'm opening an Internet Cafe, I'm definitely confident."

"Alright."

Wang Shangyan remembered Li Zhiyan's past business achievements.

He could make Brothers Internet Cafe, such a dilapidated place, thrive, and the milk tea shop in such a competitive area was also doing very well.

Opening an Internet Cafe would definitely create a miracle.

"Li Zhiyan, Auntie can't even imagine how brilliant your future achievements will be. Although you are only 18 years old, your life is already far beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

"Later, Auntie probably won't even be qualified to be your friend."

Li Zhiyan held Wang Shangyan's hand and said softly: "Aunt Wang, I like you, and you like me. This is the affection between an elder and a junior, and it has nothing to do with money."

"No matter what happens in the future, we will both be good friends."

Li Zhiyan's words deeply moved Wang Shangyan. It was true, Li Zhiyan's feelings for her had always been sincere.

Unlike her friends in society, most of whom were bound together by interests. Once she fell into decline, she probably wouldn't even find a single person.

"Okay, Auntie will remember what you said."

After arriving at the gym.

Wang Shangyan dialed the rental phone number, and soon, the landlord came over.

For such a super-large venue, finding a tenant was truly not easy.

So, after receiving Wang Shangyan's call, he was very enthusiastic.

Wang Shangyan was also very experienced, cutting the rent from the quoted 1.1 million to 1 million, and even included many favorable conditions for Li Zhiyan.

After the negotiation, Li Zhiyan and the landlord signed the contract at a law firm.

The venue for the Internet Cafe was completely settled.

After the two left the law firm, Li Zhiyan also breathed a sigh of relief, so the Internet Cafe could open in a few days.

At this time, Li Zhiyan saw that the gym equipment was being moved out one after another.

“Congratulations, Li Zhiyan, what do you plan to name your Internet Cafe?”

“Let’s call it Yiyan Internet Cafe.”

Li Zhiyan knew that he still had a main quest, which was to spend three million to open a network company, and he could use this name later to link them.

“Aunt Wang, let’s go eat.”

“I’ll treat you to private kitchen cuisine.”

“Okay.”

The two held hands and got into a taxi.

...

Hotel.

After Yin Xueyang’s best friend arrived with clothes, she said caringly, “Beautiful Yin, you’re really in a mess.”

“If you can’t swim, why don’t you stay away from the river?”

“Seriously, you scared me to death.”

Yin Xueyang said resentfully, “It was a woman wearing headphones, playing on her phone, and running while looking down who knocked me into the river. I must deal with her.”

“Yes, she must be dealt with. If she’s not beaten into the hospital, this anger won’t be vented.”

With Yin Xueyang’s social influence, retaliating against the hit-and-run woman would be effortless.

When Yin Xueyang stood up to change clothes.

Her ordinary-looking best friend said with extreme envy, “Beautiful Yin, I really envy you.”

“You’re forty, and you can still keep your figure so well and your skin so fair.”

“Unlike me, when I’m with young men, even though they don’t say it, I can feel that sense of disdain.”

Although both were forty, if a 40-year-old didn't take good care of herself, she would be an auntie, but a woman like Yin Xueyang was truly the best of the best.

At the same time, she noticed something was off.

“Oh, right.”

“Whose men’s shirt is this?”

“No way, Beautiful Yin, you’ve broken your abstinence!”

Yin Xueyang said indifferently, “Yes, that little boy was no match for me, useless, look.”

After she lifted the quilt, her best friend was also dumbfounded.

After changing into her clothes and shoes, Yin Xueyang and her best friend checked out.

When the attendant came to clean the room, they were also a bit dumbfounded.

What kind of person is this? So ill-mannered, going to sleep without drying off after a shower!

...

Upon arriving at a private kitchen restaurant.

Li Zhiyan led Wang Shangyan by her delicate hand into the private room.

“Sir, your mother is truly beautiful.”

The attendant praised, and Wang Shangyan was very happy about this misunderstanding. She and Li Zhiyan had no relationship whatsoever.

He was just a junior she coincidentally met, but she truly wanted to adopt Li Zhiyan as her godson.

Unfortunately, he was unwilling, and he had kissed her.

It seemed impossible for things to develop in that direction anymore, and thinking about it made Wang Shangyan feel a bit regretful.

After ordering the dishes, Wang Shangyan occasionally stole glances at Li Zhiyan. What did this child go through this afternoon that he was walking so unsteadily?

He looked truly a bit scary.

“Li Zhiyan, look, everyone thinks we’re mother and son. Why don’t you just be Auntie’s godson?”

“No.”

Li Zhiyan held Wang Shangyan’s delicate hand, then buried his head in her embrace.

“Aunt Wang, it’s enough for me to be your junior.”

“Aunt Wang…”

As he spoke, Li Zhiyan gently kissed Wang Shangyan’s fair neck.

That warm, wet sensation stirred Wang Shangyan’s hormones.

“Li Zhiyan, what are you doing?”

Recalling what happened in the small room earlier, Wang Shangyan couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

“I like you, so I’m kissing you.”

As he spoke, Li Zhiyan moved upward, kissing Wang Shangyan’s red lips, and tightly embraced her waist, the two of them holding each other perfectly.

Wang Shangyan could feel the scorching temperature on Li Zhiyan’s body.

“Aunt Wang, this is just a way for juniors and seniors to express their affection, right…?”

“Mmm… Yes… That’s right, Li Zhiyan…”

Wang Shangyan responded, and at that moment, the attendant pushed open the door.

This made Wang Shangyan quickly push Li Zhiyan away. The attendant’s surprised gaze made her so embarrassed she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

After the dishes were served, Wang Shangyan softly said, “Li Zhiyan, in places like this, don’t kiss Auntie anymore. If we want to kiss, we can do it in the small room, or other private places. Others will find it strange to see a 40-year-old woman and an 18-year-old young man.”

“It’s not strange, Aunt Wang, we’re just expressing affection.”

As he spoke, Li Zhiyan kissed her again.

Although Wang Shangyan felt shy, she still responded.

This was just a way for a junior to express affection for an elder; that’s how it was.

...

At this moment, the enraged Yin Xueyang also found the hit-and-run woman.

After stopping her with a few thugs.

Yin Xueyang went up and slapped her across the face.

The woman was also very guilty, lowering her head and not daring to speak.

Yin Xueyang continued to slap her face, and only when she heard the girl’s screams did she feel a little better.

“You guys deal with her properly.”

“I’m leaving first.”

“Okay, Sister Yin.”

The thugs’ voices were very polite; they truly couldn't afford to offend this woman.

...

In the evening, Li Zhiyan went to continue trying for a baby with Fang Zhiya.

At this time, Zhang Honglei was speeding in the borrowed Audi A4 in the suburbs.

Stepping on the accelerator, listening to the frightened yet excited screams of the girl in the passenger seat, he also got high.

He still didn't slow down when turning.

A right turn, he was very confident he could make a cool turn, but a loud bang came.

The car braked, and at that instant.

Zhang Honglei’s heart completely sank.

It’s over!

The car was damaged. Fueling the car didn't cost much, but damaging it was a big problem!

His classmate would need the car tomorrow, and he couldn't hide it.

At this hour, it was unlikely to find a repair shop to fix it.

Once it entered a 4S shop, it would be an exorbitant price.

Don’t hit the lights!

Praying constantly in his heart, Zhang Honglei got out of the car.

Looking at the severely deformed right fender and car door.

This made him feel like he had fallen into an abyss.

It’s over, it’s over, I’ve caused big trouble!

The girl in the passenger seat moved to the driver’s seat, then got out of the car.

“Senior, I’m leaving first.”

When going out for a drive, she could sit, but if something happened and she stayed there, she would be crazy.

The girl left, and Zhang Honglei sat down weakly.

Looking at the deformed car door and fender, after a long time, he finally dialed his classmate’s number.

However, to his surprise, his classmate said upon arrival that he had a friend who did car repairs.

He only needed to pay him five thousand yuan in compensation.

This completely relieved Zhang Honglei. He had originally thought it would be tens of thousands, but it was only five thousand yuan!

Such a small amount of money was not even an issue.

He could just ask his mom for five thousand yuan, couldn’t he? His mom had hundreds of thousands in savings.

He could definitely get it if he wanted it.

“Good, good brother, you’re really something.”

“This is too good, haha.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll give you the money in the next two days.”

“Oh, right, I plan to buy the same Audi A4 as you. Then we can both modify the exhaust and go cruise the streets together.”

Chatting, Zhang Honglei’s heart completely relaxed.

“If you want to buy an Audi A4, are you considering installment payments?”

“Although your family is rich, installment payments can free up more money for spending.”

“Life will be more carefree.”

Hearing about cars on installment, Zhang Honglei’s mind also became active.

“What’s the deal with installments?”

“I have a friend who does this. A down payment of one hundred thousand or fifty thousand is fine.”

“You can even do zero down payment, but with zero down payment, the interest will be slightly higher.”

“For someone like you with repayment ability, if I say something, the installment plan will definitely be approved.”

Zhang Honglei’s heart was completely excited.

Even after returning to the dorm, he still found it hard to fall asleep for a long time.

...

The next day, as soon as Li Zhiyan arrived at school, he saw Han Xueying parking her electric bike.

“Aunt Han!”

“Li Zhiyan, you’re amazing, the disciplinary action has been revoked!”

Walking with Li Zhiyan, the sweet-looking Han Xueying’s voice carried a hint of admiration.

She felt that she truly admired Li Zhiyan, this junior.

Although he was only 18, he had his own business and bought a 140-square-meter large house through his own efforts.

And he could resolve the disciplinary action that she had tried many times to resolve without success.

His achievements and abilities were clearly superior to hers, a 39-year-old woman. Frankly, she was truly useless.

Thinking about it, Han Xueying felt a little embarrassed, but she definitely couldn’t let him know that she admired her junior.

That was too awkward.

“Aunt Han, you don’t need to worry about my affairs anymore.”

“Oh, right, my new Internet Cafe is about to open. I’ll invite you to come see it then.”

Han Xueying paused slightly, and looking at Li Zhiyan’s eyes, the brilliance in her beautiful eyes intensified.

This child! He’s opening another Internet Cafe!

“Internet Cafe, isn’t it an Internet Cafe?”

“It’s roughly the same meaning…”

After Li Zhiyan explained the concept of an Internet Cafe to Han Xueying, her heart was completely astonished.

The cost of investing in an Internet Cafe would be at least two million, right!

He was so young, yet he had bought a house and opened a shop.

And he had two million to open an Internet Cafe. How much assets must he have? Li Zhiyan must have at least five million in assets!

And most of it was cash!

Thinking about it, Han Xueying’s admiration for Li Zhiyan deepened a few points.

“Aunt Han, I’ll come find you at noon to give you a massage.”

“Remember to take off your stockings beforehand.”

“Okay…”

Actually, Han Xueying had always felt that the after-effects of her sprained ankle had completely disappeared, but she really enjoyed Li Zhiyan’s massage.

It was just that she didn’t quite dare to admit it to herself.

“Li Zhiyan, hurry to class. This is the last half-day of class this week, so you can’t miss it.”

After the two parted ways, Han Xueying looked at Li Zhiyan’s back and softly said, “Li Zhiyan is really capable, but it’s a pity he’s not my son.”

“I really envy Rongrong Jie.”

After Li Zhiyan arrived in the classroom, he quickly received admiring voices from Jiang Zexi and the others.

“Brother Yan is awesome!”

“The disciplinary action was really revoked. What did you do to Yin Xueyang?!”

Zhang Zhiyuan quickly answered, “Does that even need asking?”

“Without a doubt, Brother Yan used his advantages to make Yin Xueyang experience what a legend is, so she obediently revoked the disciplinary action.”

“I think that woman has a great need for love, and only Brother Yan can satisfy her need for love!”

When talking about the sacred topic of love, everyone was very excited.

Li Zhiyan, as usual, chatted with Su Mengchen.

And he was thinking about going out with Su Mengchen tomorrow. Chenchen’s current state was really much better, and he needed to seize the time to finalize Su Mengchen’s matter.

At this moment, a text message came in.

Looking at the phone number, which was a long string of sevens, Li Zhiyan guessed it was probably Yin Xueyang.

Sure enough, after opening the message, everything was as he had guessed.

“Li Zhiyan, this is Director Yin. Come to my office after class.”

After returning to a society with rules, Yin Xueyang resumed her haughty demeanor.

At this moment, sitting in her office, Yin Xueyang's arrogance and confidence had completely returned.

Although Li Zhiyan knew her little flaw, she wasn't afraid in the slightest.

All she wanted was to quickly fulfill Li Zhiyan's demands, then continue to deal with him and get revenge for her son.

Class ended quickly. When Li Zhiyan arrived at the office door, he walked straight in without knocking.

Yin Xueyang frowned.

“Knock! Who told you to come in!”

Li Zhiyan smiled. This woman really changed her face quickly. She wasn't like this yesterday when she was begging him in the water to pull her out.

“Director Yin, what do you need me for?”

Li Zhiyan walked forward, not taking Yin Xueyang’s words seriously at all.

“Your clothes.”

Yin Xueyang pointed to the bag on the sofa and said in a low voice. She had washed the clothes before giving them to Li Zhiyan.

“I understand, Director Yin. Is there anything else?”

“Thank you for saving me yesterday. So, if you have any thoughts or requests, tell me now, and I will help you fulfill them.”

“If you want money, I can satisfy you even if it's tens of thousands or even two hundred thousand.”

For someone worth tens of millions, two hundred thousand for a life was already very cheap.

Li Zhiyan knew that Yin Xueyang was eager to repay her debt at this moment; otherwise, she would feel very uncomfortable in her heart towards her enemy.

How could Li Zhiyan let go of an opportunity to make her uncomfortable?

Li Zhiyan walked over, leaned close to Yin Xueyang’s hair, and sniffed gently, which made Yin Xueyang instinctively flustered.

“So fragrant, but I still prefer the scent you had yesterday.”

“It's very subtle, but it makes one feel very pleasant.”

At such close proximity, Yin Xueyang instinctively looked.

Yin Xueyang felt Li Zhiyan’s extraordinary talent again.

Then Li Zhiyan smelled a familiar scent again.

“That's it.”

“I’ll be leaving now. You should rest well.”

“Let me think carefully about how you should repay me.”

When he reached the door.

Li Zhiyan stopped.

“Oh, I like the scent on you. It really matches your temperament.”

After Li Zhiyan left, Yin Xueyang, wearing high heels, locked the door.

She felt extremely annoyed, as if she was being manipulated by Li Zhiyan. Thankfully, this episode wasn't that serious.

“That damned little beast, he wouldn't be trying to get me to go to a hotel with him, would he?”

“But that’s fine too…”

Yin Xueyang clearly felt that while Li Zhiyan was treating her as an enemy, he was also treating her as a woman, not an elder.

He was treating her as a woman he could sleep with; he must have seen her cleavage just now.

Thinking of this, Yin Xueyang actually looked forward to Li Zhiyan asking her to go to a hotel.

If that happened, she could easily deal with him.

She could even send him to prison.

...

During lunch break, Su Mengyue came to find Li Zhiyan.

The few playboys in the dormitory all wisely left the dining table and went to the next room.

Su Mengyue looked at Li Zhiyan opposite her, her face flushed.

“Li Zhiyan, do you have any thoughts about our relationship now? Do you want to be in a relationship?”

Looking at the hopeful expression of the girl with twin ponytails, Li Zhiyan said softly, “Mengyue, give me some time.”

“I will give you a satisfactory answer in the future, okay?”

Li Zhiyan ultimately couldn't bear to hurt Su Mengyue. Anyway, he was already a master of time management.

Managing one more wouldn't be a problem, it's just that he had too many business plans on hand right now: opening an Internet Cafe, starting an internet company.

Building his mom's best friend's cafeteria, and developing the economy back in his hometown—he was too busy. He didn't have time to deal with Su Mengyue right now.

Looking at Su Mengyue in front of him, Li Zhiyan now felt that being small was actually quite cute.

Of course, one B-cup girl was enough; Li Zhiyan truly wasn't interested in any more.

“Okay…”

Su Mengyue’s face completely flushed. This counted as an agreement, just needing a little time. A girl is a girl after all. No matter how daring and passionate Su Mengyue was, she was too shy to bear it at this moment.

She fled the cafeteria with a blushing face.

Next, naturally, came a barrage of envious teasing from the three playboys in the dormitory.

...

In the evening, Li Zhiyan looked at the task's timeline.

He took a taxi home.

“Mom, I’m home!”

Shouting “Mom” like a child, Li Zhiyan felt that his happiest moments were always at home.

“Son.”

Zhou Rongrong, sitting on the sofa, also called Li Zhiyan over. The pressure cooker in the kitchen was still steaming.

“Today, Mom stewed pork ribs soup for you.”

“It’ll be ready to eat soon.”

Looking at his mom, who was wearing black stockings and a long skirt today, Li Zhiyan also praised, “Mom, you’re so beautiful.”

“You, you just have a sweet tongue.”

Every time her son complimented her beauty, Zhou Rongrong would feel very happy.

Ever since Li Zhiyan came back crying that day, he often praised her, as if he had become a different person from before.

Sitting down on the sofa, Li Zhiyan watched TV with his mom.

“Mom, I have something to do tonight.”

Li Zhiyan was thinking about Wu Qingxian. Aunt Wu was so good to him; he couldn't let her be too sad tonight.

He definitely had to go comfort Aunt Wu.

At the same time, he also knew that neither Aunt Wu nor his mom had the habit of celebrating birthdays.

Basically, on their birthdays, they would just make themselves a bowl of longevity noodles. That's why his mom didn't know Aunt Wu's birthday.

Adults always tended to be more frugal.

“Are you going on a date?”

Zhou Rongrong stroked her son’s head, her beautiful eyes full of doting affection.

Her son had really grown up.

“Sort of.”

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment. It could actually be considered a kind of alternative date.

After all, he even brought a birthday present.

“Will you be back tonight?”

“Yes, I will. I haven’t seen you in so long, I miss you.”

Li Zhiyan's mama's boy demeanor made Zhou Rongrong feel very warm inside.

She wished time could just continue like this.

...

After dinner, Li Zhiyan left the house.

His mom's cooking was always the best.

Meanwhile, Zhang Honglei, who had returned from school, was already home.

He felt very relaxed and at ease.

When he crashed the car last night, he truly felt like the sky was falling.

Such an expensive repair fee would probably be tens of thousands, but upon learning that it only cost five thousand, he completely relaxed.

For him, five thousand yuan was nothing; it was just a piece of cake. He could easily solve such a small matter.

As soon as he got home, he saw his mom cooking noodles on the coal stove in the kitchen.

“Mom, I’m home.”

Wu Qingxian, who was cooking longevity noodles, nodded.

After all, this was her own son. No matter how angry she was, that blood relationship could never be erased.

She couldn't possibly cut off ties with her son for life.

However, Wu Qingxian's attitude towards Zhang Honglei had become much colder.

Actually, just now, she had been fantasizing whether her son would come back with a birthday cake to celebrate her birthday.

Then he would sincerely apologize to her, admit his mistakes, and then turn over a new leaf. If that happened, it would truly be an extremely happy and joyful thing for her.

But clearly, he didn't know it was her birthday.

“What are you cooking? It smells like there’s no meat.”

“Can’t you make something tasty!”

Wu Qingxian's disappointment deepened.

And then, Zhang Honglei’s words completely sank her heart.

“Mom, give me seven thousand yuan.”

Wu Qingxian felt a bit ridiculous. She had worked hard to raise her son since he was little, and he didn't show her any filial piety. Now he just came home to ask for money, as if there was nothing else.

It was getting a bit cold that evening.

But what was coldest was Wu Qingxian's heart; she just felt her heart was especially cold.

“Impossible, Zhang Honglei. If you keep going like this, no one will be able to save you.”

“Our family isn’t rich. I can’t afford to support your spending habits.”

“Mom, I got into trouble! I crashed a classmate’s car!”

“So I need seven thousand yuan for compensation. Hurry up and give me the money!”

Wu Qingxian no longer believed Zhang Honglei’s fabricated excuses.

“Impossible, Zhang Honglei. If I indulge you any further, I'll be harming you!”

Thinking of Zhou Rongrong’s son being so excellent, while her own son was such a scoundrel…

Wu Qingxian felt even sadder.

“Give it to me, give me the money!”

“Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating! Your own son is in trouble and you won’t help!”

Zhang Honglei kicked over Wu Qingxian’s pot of longevity noodles.

Wu Qingxian looked at him coldly, feeling sad but not crying.

Seeing his mom’s cold expression, Zhang Honglei realized he had to resort to something drastic.

He went to the window, clinging to it as if he was about to jump.

“Mom, I really got into trouble and need money. If you don’t give me seven thousand, I’ll jump!”

Wu Qingxian wanted to go forward and pull her son back.

No matter how much of a scoundrel her son was, he was still her son. If he really died here, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

“Don’t come closer! Give me the money!”

“Otherwise, I’ll jump!”

“Okay, Mom will give it to you! This is the last time. From now on, I can’t give you this much money again, except for living expenses!”

Seeing Wu Qingxian concede, Zhang Honglei completely relaxed. It seemed this trick would work from now on.

When Wu Qingxian returned with the money.

Zhang Honglei didn't bother to stay at home, took the money, and swaggered away.

His footsteps grew fainter and fainter. Wu Qingxian could no longer hold back, looking at the spilled noodles on the cement floor.

Wu Qingxian, wearing a cheongsam, squatted on the ground and cried.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Aunt Wu!”

“Son.”

Wu Qingxian recognized Li Zhiyan’s voice. After opening the door.

She hugged Li Zhiyan tightly.

“Son, Mom misses you.”

“Aunt Wu, you’re joking again.”

Holding Li Zhiyan tightly, Wu Qingxian felt as if she had found support.

“Auntie isn’t joking, you are Auntie’s biological son, it’s just that you were swapped at birth.”

“I am your real mom.”

Wu Qingxian joked with Li Zhiyan, feeling very warm inside.
