Reborn: Instead of Chasing the School Beauty, I Chased Her Mother

"Then I'll head off first, Aunt Yin."

Li Zhiyan planned to visit the commercial street to see if the two brothers, Guo Haochen and Guo Haoxuan, had come by.

If they had arrived,

he could introduce them to job opportunities at Li Meifeng's place.

After Li Zhiyan left, Yin Xueyang threw her torn stockings into the trash can.

She packed them together with the camera parts.

After glancing at the shiny floor that had just been mopped, she left her apartment.

A gentle breeze brushed across the campus, where birds chirped and fragrant flowers bloomed.

Yin Xueyang felt a serene warmth settle in her heart.

These days were so blissful, though the matters concerning Wu Rongsheng and the Zhou Family continued to be thorns in her side.

Yin Xueyang could only hope that such days would pass quickly.

She looked at her smooth, jade-like legs.

A faint blush crept across Yin Xueyang's delicate face.

"Little darling..."

Yin Xueyang murmured softly. Her heart was filled with longing for Li Zhiyan, wishing to be close to him every moment.

But she knew well that she wasn't the only one by Li Zhiyan's side.

"Bastard..."

...

When he reached the entrance of Zhichen Milk Tea Shop and saw no sign of the two brothers,

Li Zhiyan decided to head to Yiyan Internet Cafe.

Surprisingly, Wang Sicong was there gaming today, along with his other buddies.

Li Zhiyan walked over and took a seat.

He chatted with the two for a while.

"Brother Yan, your company is in serious trouble,"

Wang Sicong whispered, his curiosity piqued about how influential Li Zhiyan's background might be.

Previously, he had wanted to learn "National Art" from Li Zhiyan.

But lack of time had kept him from starting.

Now, Wang Sicong was more intrigued by Li Zhiyan's connections.

He had already made up his mind: If Li Zhiyan could truly handle someone as formidable as Zhou Tianhua,

then he would follow him closely from now on.

Joining the Yiyan Chamber of Commerce would be an enticing opportunity for him.

"Your secretary..."

"Zhou Tianhua is now forcing you to fire her; otherwise, your company will face endless trouble."

Li Zhiyan chuckled lightly.

Currently, the internet sector hadn't reached its explosive peak yet.

Otherwise, even with ten times the guts, Zhou Tianhua wouldn't dare act this way.

"It's fine."

Li Zhiyan's calm and composed attitude

further solidified Wang Sicong's belief in Li Zhiyan's formidable strength.

Could it be that, in his eyes, someone like Zhou Tianhua was insignificant?

After chatting for a while, Li Zhiyan made his way to the kitchen.

At that moment, Wu Qingxian was cooking.

"Aunt Wu."

"Xiao Yan, you're here."

Li Zhiyan stepped forward and hugged Wu Qingxian from behind.

"Alright, Xiao Yan, go sit in the living room and wait for lunch. Auntie's body can't handle this easily."

After all, being pregnant made her unable to indulge in her whims.

Wu Qingxian cared about this child immensely.

She hoped her daughter could be born safely and healthily.

"It's okay, Aunt Wu. Let me help you. I also brought you some delicious treats."

"We can enjoy them as dessert later."

Wu Qingxian hummed in acknowledgment, already accustomed to Li Zhiyan bringing her snacks.

"Xiao Yan, Auntie worries that once the pregnancy is discovered, your mom might learn about it."

Wu Qingxian shared a close relationship with Zhou Rongrong.

They often went shopping together.

Right now, her belly wasn't noticeable...

But as time passed, certain things would inevitably be revealed.

The mere thought gave Wu Qingxian a headache.

"Don't worry. Mom can accept it. After all, she loves me."

Even Zhou Rongrong accepted his situation with Shen Xinrong.

Li Zhiyan understood his mother's tolerance extended far beyond normal limits.

Her unconditional love for him truly knew no boundaries—after all, mothers are irreplaceably good.

"Alright."

Wu Qingxian felt a touch more relaxed.

Soon, they started cooking together, with Li Zhiyan frequently assisting Wu Qingxian.

"Xiao Yan, chop the chili over there."

"Got it."

...

After lunch, Li Zhiyan spoon-fed Wu Qingxian some dessert.

Refreshed and in good spirits, he left the house. The midday sun was a bit intense.

Yet the cooling breeze that swept through

made every passing moment

incredibly enjoyable.

"This weather is absolutely perfect."

Li Zhiyan headed back to Zhichen Milk Tea Shop.

His good mood lingered uninterrupted.

This time, Li Zhiyan finally spotted Guo Haochen and Guo Haoxuan.

The brothers were sneakily hiding in a corner,

obviously discussing how to seek forgiveness from Ding Baijie and mend their mother-son relationship.

However, that clearly wasn't going to happen.

Li Zhiyan understood Ding Baijie well—though she had suffered deeply earlier in her life, she was now crystal-clear in her decisions.

No matter how these two scoundrels begged, it wouldn't change anything.

At this moment, Ding Baijie stepped out to bask in the sun.

When the brothers caught sight of her,

they immediately rushed over.

"Mom!"

"Mommy!"

The two brothers dropped to their knees in front of Ding Baijie, calling her mother.

To an uninformed onlooker, this scene might genuinely appear to be a touching drama of motherly love.

However, knowing the truth, Li Zhiyan could only feel disgust.

He slowly stepped forward, intending to discuss job opportunities with the brothers.

"Why are you here? Go away. I'll never recognize you."

Although these two were her sons,

Ding Baijie had come to realize.

Blood relations didn't necessarily mean trustworthiness.
