146: Wu Qingxian's Shame

What did over 400,000 yuan mean? Wu Qingxian felt a sense of despair just thinking about it.

She had worked hard for so many years, and even with extreme frugality, after deducting living expenses, she had only saved over 300,000 yuan...

This money was meant for Zhang Honglei's down payment on a house.

But now Wu Qingxian heard that her son had bought a car worth 400,000 yuan.

She felt a sense of unease in her heart.

"Li Zhiyan, what happened? Please tell Auntie clearly."

Wu Qingxian held Li Zhiyan's hand, her voice trembling slightly. It seemed her son had caused a huge problem for her.

"It's like this, Aunt Wu."

When Li Zhiyan spoke about this matter, he also felt very annoyed. He had to admit that Zhang Honglei was a complete animal, and yet he still wanted to compete with him in the 'Mom-Snatching Battle'. Naturally, he wouldn't give him any chance.

Now was the time to expose all of his true colors.

"Normally, Zhang Honglei lives quite extravagantly at school, liking to buy designer clothes."

"And he spends money lavishly."

"All of this is because Zhang Honglei pretends to be a rich second-generation heir at school."

"It was because of his vanity that when you went to give him money last time, he said you were his family's nanny."

Wu Qingxian fell silent. The fact that her own son said she was his family's nanny was something she could never forget.

"And later, ordinary disguises could no longer satisfy Zhang Honglei's appetite. He used connections with classmates to take out a loan for a BMW 4 Series."

"It's about over 400,000 yuan, but with the loan amount, it's almost 500,000 yuan."

"He has to pay 7,000 yuan in loan repayments every month."

Although she was mentally prepared, hearing that he had to pay 7,000 yuan in loan repayments every month...

At this moment, Wu Qingxian felt a suffocating sensation. A monthly salary of 7,000 yuan?

The salary level in Wan City was very low. Her previous company's salary was only a little over 3,000 yuan.

It was only after changing companies that it reached over 4,000 yuan. Over 7,000 yuan was roughly two months of her salary.

And her son actually had to repay 7,000 yuan every month.

Did he really not consider his family's financial situation at all?

"You know, Zhang Honglei has no financial capability whatsoever. He relies entirely on the money you give him to maintain his image as a wealthy young master."

"That's why Zhang Honglei came here today."

"He's pretending to apologize to you. You might feel he's sincere, but what he's thinking in his heart is to treat you as an ATM."

Li Zhiyan said very seriously.

"Also, I heard him say some very unpleasant things."

"I'm even embarrassed to tell you."

Wu Qingxian's heart tightened. She knew these words must be very unpleasant, which was why Li Zhiyan was embarrassed to tell her.

"It's okay, Li Zhiyan, just tell Auntie. What did he say?"

"Aunt Wu, I said, please don't get emotional."

"Mm..."

Wu Qingxian, dressed in her professional attire, took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"I heard him tell a classmate that the nanny at home, who wears a cheongsam, is like a bitch that he can order around."

"Whatever he tells her to do, she has to do."

Wu Qingxian's mind went completely blank. A feeling of despair surged into her heart. At this moment, she completely recognized the true face of her own son.

So, her son was this kind of person?

To insult her like that.

She leaned powerlessly against the sofa, tears flowing continuously.

Wu Qingxian was utterly disappointed in Zhang Honglei. Not only was he unwilling to acknowledge her as his mother, calling her a nanny, but for his own sense of accomplishment, he even insulted her to his classmates.

What was the use of having such a son? She had initially thought, when she saw Zhang Honglei's seemingly sincere apology today...

That her son might have truly repented.

She had even thought about forgiving her son in her heart.

But now it seemed she was simply being sentimental. His demeanor wasn't a son's affection for his mother; it was purely an act because he was afraid he couldn't repay the loan.

Thinking about it, Wu Qingxian felt a strange wave of nausea in her heart.

Wu Qingxian sat there quietly, while Li Zhiyan slowly put his arm around Wu Qingxian's shoulder, letting Wu Qingxian lean into his embrace.

The two of them embraced quietly like that.

After a long while, Wu Qingxian softly said, "Li Zhiyan, thankfully I have you."

"If it weren't for you, Auntie would really have been deceived, and the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Wu Qingxian could imagine that if she had forgiven her son, he would definitely find ways to continue deceiving her for money.

"Aunt Wu, from now on, just pretend you don't have a son named Zhang Honglei."

"Mm... Li Zhiyan, from now on, Auntie will only dote on you."

Wu Qingxian said very seriously. She felt that the only person in this world who was truly good to her was Li Zhiyan.

At the company, some people had ulterior motives towards her, and colleagues were also insincere.

And her son made her feel utterly heartbroken; he only wanted to deceive her for money and even insulted her in front of his classmates.

Li Zhiyan, however, had always been sincerely good to her.

"Okay..."

"Aunt Wu, don't be sad. Seeing you sad makes me sad too."

"From now on, we can live our own lives well."

"Anyway, I can come over and accompany you whenever I'm free. The two of us can live very happily."

Li Zhiyan's words made Wu Qingxian feel as if she had seen hope in life.

Feeling the warmth from Li Zhiyan, who was so close, Wu Qingxian also found herself unable to control her rationality.

Zhou Rongrong's matter was thrown to the back of her mind.

Then, Wu Qingxian tightly hugged Li Zhiyan and actively kissed him.

As for Aunt Wu's kiss...

Li Zhiyan naturally wouldn't resist and began to respond.

Li Zhiyan was very happy about Wu Qingxian's initiative. Zhang Honglei had indeed delivered his mother to his doorstep, completely pushing Aunt Wu towards his side.

Tasting Wu Qingxian's saliva, Li Zhiyan's hand slowly moved to the back of Aunt Wu's head.

"Aunt Wu..."

Wu Qingxian also understood Li Zhiyan's meaning. She slowly knelt on the sofa.

Some things are unacceptable until they happen.

But after they happen, it seems everything is quite normal.

"Aunt Wu, is your jaw still sore?"

At this moment, Li Zhiyan was concerned about Wu Qingxian's personal health. In terms of filial piety towards elders, Li Zhiyan had always been very attentive.

"It's not sore anymore."

"Then today, how about I feel sore for a bit? Shall we help each other out?"

Wu Qingxian hugged Li Zhiyan, then nodded gently.

...

A long time later, Li Zhiyan looked at the expensive miniature landscape on the window, holding Wu Qingxian in his arms, feeling very content.

At this moment, the task was already marked as complete.

Li Zhiyan's savings had successfully reached 2.5 million.

He was one step closer to his goal of earning ten million a year.

Li Zhiyan stood up and walked to the miniature landscape, pouring some water into it.

After the stream received new water, it clearly gained vitality.

And the rockery in the miniature landscape even looked a bit more vibrant.

Li Zhiyan really liked the feeling of this vibrant miniature world.

"Aunt Wu, our relationship is already so good, why don't you be with me from now on?"

"I want to..."

He knew that ever since Aunt Wu and he had crossed the boundary of kissing...

It would be impossible to stop what happened next.

Li Zhiyan didn't continue speaking, but Wu Qingxian also understood Li Zhiyan's meaning very well. Li Zhiyan wanted her to truly become his woman.

Wu Qingxian realized for the first time that age was such a big problem.

If she were 18, she would have been with Li Zhiyan without hesitation.

But now, she had already celebrated her birthday and was 41 years old.

Being with him would really face too many difficulties.

Moreover, the biggest problem between herself and Li Zhiyan was actually Zhou Rongrong's issue.

"Li Zhiyan, it's actually quite good just like this."

"There's no need to be together."

"When you find a girlfriend you like, Auntie will go back to being your elder."

Every time Wu Qingxian thought about the things she and Li Zhiyan had done, she felt like a shameless woman, having crossed the line with a young man 23 years younger than her.

If outsiders knew, they would definitely point fingers at her.

She had watched Li Zhiyan grow up, yet...

"Aunt Wu, I don't want you to be my elder. I just want to be with you, then make you pregnant and have our child."

Li Zhiyan's words made Wu Qingxian's pretty face involuntarily flush at this moment.

What was Li Zhiyan talking nonsense about? Her getting pregnant with his child?

She had watched Li Zhiyan grow up from wearing open-crotch pants. For her to get pregnant with his child now...

This was truly somewhat absurd.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can Auntie get pregnant with your child?"

Li Zhiyan said seriously, "Why can't you get pregnant with my child?"

"Some relationships are only complicated because the positions aren't set straight. As long as the positions are set straight, the two of us can be together, and you can also get pregnant with my child."

Li Zhiyan's words made Wu Qingxian's face a little red.

This topic was really getting more and more outrageous.

However, this matter was actually her own fault.

She had always been carried away by the emotions of various events, which was why all sorts of things had happened between her and Li Zhiyan.

Now, it was almost impossible for her to go back to being his elder, after all, the two of them had already been completely open with each other.

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if your mother found out about us?"

"Then we just won't let her know, Aunt Wu. I truly like you."

"I just want to be with you."

"Please be with me. You are still young and beautiful now, perfect for getting pregnant and having a child. With my financial situation, we can live a very relaxed and happy life."

Wu Qingxian realized that Li Zhiyan was indeed telling the truth.

If she were to be with him and have a child, life would be very easy in the future. As for Zhang Honglei, she really couldn't rely on him at all.

And now, her biggest concerns were still the age difference and Zhou Rongrong's issue.

"Li Zhiyan, please give Auntie some time to think about it, okay?"

Seeing Wu Qingxian's very troubled expression, Li Zhiyan nodded.

“Alright, Aunt Wu, please consider it carefully, and remember one thing.”

“The woman I’ve liked most since I was little is you, so you are also the woman I love most.”

“I really, really want to take care of you and be with you.”

After hugging Wu Qingxian goodbye, Li Zhiyan left Yiyan Internet Cafe.

Standing by the window, watching Li Zhiyan’s retreating figure, she thought of how she and Li Zhiyan had helped each other just now.

She felt so shameless in her heart.

And why did she agree to consider Li Zhiyan’s proposal?

“What on earth have I done, Rongrong, I’m so sorry…”

Wu Qingxian’s sense of guilt completely overwhelmed her.

At the same time, her heart was utterly disappointed in Zhang Honglei.

…

After work, when Wu Qingxian returned home, she contacted a locksmith company.

After registering, she had the locks on her home door changed.

Before, she always thought that her son would one day find his way back, and as long as he truly repented, she would forgive him. But now, it seemed there was no need for that.

He had never treated her as a mother; in his heart, she was just an ATM.

At this moment, Zhang Honglei was lying in his dorm, thinking about his performance today.

Actually, when he shed tears, it was also a genuine outpouring of emotion.

The way his tears streamed down, he felt very touched just thinking about it.

It seemed his mom would call him very soon to forgive him.

After that, he would hug his mom and act spoiled, beg her, and she would definitely help him pay his car loan.

His car loan could not have any problems whatsoever.

Because recently, Zhang Honglei had clearly felt the discussions among his classmates about him, and his roommates also seemed to have some contempt for him.

If he lost this BMW 4 Series convertible, then his pretense of being a rich young master would definitely be exposed.

This was something he absolutely could not accept. Zhang Honglei held the BMW key in his hand, his resolve firm.

…

The next day, Li Zhiyan went to school for classes as usual.

He had spent last night at the clothing store.

The public grain he paid was naturally not a bit less.

“The income from the Internet Cafe and the milk tea shop is almost here.”

For this monthly income of tens of thousands, Li Zhiyan was no longer very concerned.

He was still thinking about the internet company. If he earned another 500,000 yuan, after his internet company opened, he could earn tens of millions annually.

At that time, he would truly not lack money.

“Brother Yan, have you heard?”

During class, Jiang Zexi, holding an iced red tea and having finished his Liuwei Dihuang Pills, said, “I heard that Yin Qiang is going around school everywhere, proclaiming his love for Su Mengchen and wanting to be with her.”

Li Zhiyan smiled.

Both Yin Qiang and Yin Xueyang, mother and son, were not easy to deal with.

However, his petty tricks were destined to be useless against Chenchen; Chenchen’s heart already completely belonged to him.

“Xi Zi, go to Shenzhen less to earn extra money.”

“If the foundation of your body is damaged, it will be hard to recover later.”

Li Zhiyan could see Jiang Zexi’s weakness.

He had the title’s blessing, so he had infinite energy and wouldn’t get tired, while Jiang Zexi was an ordinary person, just a bit handsome. If this continued for a long time,

He would definitely become extremely weak.

“It’s fine, I’m very strong.”

As they chatted, Li Zhiyan saw that the system had released a new mission.

“Soon, because Zhang Honglei’s plea for reconciliation was rejected, he returned home to find that Wu Qingxian had changed the locks.”

“Therefore, he will violently smash the door at home and furiously insult Wu Qingxian.”

“Please go and protect Wu Qingxian.”

“Mission reward: 100,000 yuan in cash.”

Li Zhiyan felt an uncontrollable surge of ecstasy in his heart.

It was completely normal for Aunt Wu to have so many reservations in her heart, after all, she had just celebrated her 41st birthday.

His relationship with Aunt Wu definitely needed to be propelled by emotional events, because only then could Aunt Wu break through her inner rationality.

He didn’t expect Zhang Honglei to deliver himself to his doorstep so quickly.

“New mission released.”

“Yin Qiang, holding a grudge against you,”

“Plans to gather hooligans tonight to retaliate against you.”

“Please record evidence of Yin Qiang hiring someone to assault you.”

“Mission reward: 100,000 yuan in cash.”

The system frequently releasing new missions made Li Zhiyan truly feel that the current system was getting stronger and stronger.

Hiring hooligans to retaliate against oneself seemed very common in the year 2010.

If he recorded it, it would be a leverage point.

At that time, he could just talk to Yin Xueyang about this matter.

With three missions in hand, Li Zhiyan also began to plan.

However, the most immediate mission was still the one involving Head Nurse Liu Meizhen, who looked remarkably like Liu Yifei’s mother, Liu Xiaoli.

It was tonight, so he could prepare for it.

At noon, Li Zhiyan went to the gym where Liu Meizhen usually worked out.

In reality, Liu Meizhen’s workout time was limited, as the Head Nurse’s work in the hospital was quite busy.

After getting a gym membership, Li Zhiyan took a taxi back to school.

At this moment, he actually hoped the system could release a mission to buy a car. Although he rarely drove, having a car was sometimes very convenient.

…

In the afternoon, outside the company building, Bao Xunwen was standing with a muscular man with an eight-pack, discussing something.

“Xiao Wang, as long as you perform well, my wife has been lonely for so long; you can definitely win her over easily.”

“As long as you win over my wife and film the video when you open a room,”

“I guarantee you a generous reward.”

The muscular man named Xiao Wang looked to be in his early thirties. Due to years of fitness, his physique was very well-maintained, and his temperament and image were quite outstanding.

However, at this moment, he was a bit confused.

When Bao Xunwen sought him out, he thought it was to buy his personal training classes or something similar.

After all, he also worked part-time as a fitness personal trainer.

But what he didn’t expect was that Bao Xunwen actually wanted him to seduce his wife?

This was truly outrageous. Normal people in this world had an absolute possessiveness over their own women.

Others approaching them even slightly would be directly driven away and cause a falling out, but there was actually someone who wanted to put cuckold himself?

He truly was an oddball. Could it be that he disliked his wife for being too ugly?

Thinking about it, he felt no interest. This Bao Xunwen was clearly a middle-aged man, so his wife must also be a middle-aged woman.

“Let’s forget it, I don’t have that ability.”

Bao Xunwen added, “If the matter succeeds, I’ll give you 30,000 yuan.”

“Thirty thousand!”

Xiao Wang was also stunned. He really didn’t expect that Bao Xunwen would be willing to spend 30,000 yuan just to put cuckold himself.

Even if the person opposite was a sow, he would have to try.

“What does your wife look like? Do you have a photo?”

Xiao Wang decided to see the situation. If she was too ugly, he could take the opportunity to raise the price.

“Yes, take a look.”

Bao Xunwen was completely fed up with Liu Meizhen, this woman who couldn’t give birth to a son, and Liu Meizhen’s strong personality.

Also prevented Bao Xunwen from experiencing the joy of being a dominant man.

After Bao Xunwen took out a photo of Liu Meizhen wearing a pink nurse’s uniform.

Xiao Wang immediately straightened up. Looking at that photo, his eyes were fixed and couldn’t move away.

Is this a woman in her forties?

She couldn’t be this beautiful.

He wouldn’t even trade her for an 18-year-old beauty, after all, few 18-year-old girls could be this beautiful and possess the charm of a mature woman.

Crazy, crazy, this Bao Xunwen must be crazy.

Xiao Wang thought to himself, never mind giving him 30,000 yuan, even if he didn’t give him anything but provided him with information to seduce his wife, he would still be willing.

“How about it, Xiao Wang, can you help me with this?”

“The 30,000 yuan will definitely be paid in full.”

Seeing Xiao Wang’s reaction,

Bao Xunwen felt that this matter was settled. His wife was so beautiful; besides not being able to give birth to a son, she had no other flaws.

This young man was clearly very tempted.

“Alright, Big Brother, don’t worry, I will definitely help you with this. It’s just that you’ll have to provide the specific information.”

“Otherwise, I won’t be able to meet your wife.”

Xiao Wang’s voice carried a hint of eagerness.

Such a beautiful mature woman, if he could sleep with her once,

Then he would truly be willing to lose ten years of his life.

He used to think he liked 18-year-olds, but after seeing Bao Xunwen’s wife,

He felt that he actually quite liked mature women. Age wasn’t the key; beauty was.

“It’s simple. She usually likes to go to this gym to work out and maintain her figure.”

“She’ll go after work this afternoon. You just…”

Bao Xunwen began to explain the plan to Xiao Wang.

…

In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan chatted with Liu Meizhen in the classroom.

“Aunt Liu, are you busy?”

Liu Meizhen, who was in her office, felt a sense of joy after seeing Li Zhiyan’s message.

It was a message from the child she liked most.

If one were to ask who Liu Meizhen had been most impressed by and liked the most recently, it was undoubtedly Li Zhiyan.

Ever since Li Zhiyan helped her resolve the embarrassment of the leaking milk on the bus,

She had developed a considerable fondness for this young man.

And after Liu Meizhen visited Li Zhiyan’s Internet Cafe when it opened, Li Zhiyan’s image in Liu Meizhen’s heart reached an unprecedented height.

What she admired most were capable people, and Li Zhiyan, at only 18 years old, had opened an Internet Cafe by investing millions on his own.

This talent was truly unique!

“I’m here, Li Zhiyan, nothing much is happening.”

“Aunt Liu, have you felt that Uncle Bao has been a bit strange lately?”

There will be an extra update tomorrow, this is all for today. I will speed up the progress. The key for Wu Qingxian is these two days.
