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

"Just find an opportunity to repay your mother once in the future,"

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment and decided to accept it.

"I understand, Mom."

"Right, Mom, there hasn't been any problem with those high heels lately, has it? If there's ever an issue, I'll continue to make the glue for you."

The scenes of Li Zhiyan accompanying her everywhere in the middle of the night echoed persistently in Shen Rongfei's heart.

It was from that time on that she fully regarded Li Zhiyan as her own son.

"They're very sturdy. Mom's high heels are in good condition, and I don't wear them much. You don't need to worry, son. If there's any issue, Mom will find you right away."

"Mm."

"Mom, is your wrist still hurting recently?"

"Not anymore, but my ankle is a bit sore."

"Then I'll massage it for you."

"Ok..."

Shen Rongfei was very approving of Li Zhiyan's traditional Chinese medicine massage techniques; her son was indeed an experienced practitioner of Chinese medicine.

If there was a problem with bodily aches, going to him was definitely the right choice.

Li Zhiyan gently took hold of Shen Rongfei's ankle, placing her leg on his own.

He began massaging her.

For Shen Rongfei, Li Zhiyan's heart was always filled with immense concern and filial piety.

Her treating him like her own son also gave Shen Rongfei an extraordinary place in Li Zhiyan's heart.

After a long while, Shen Rongfei and Li Zhiyan left the milk tea shop.

At this moment, Shen Rongfei felt much lighter all over.

"Xiao Yan, your medical skills are really impressive."

"I am completely at ease with you taking care of Chenchen."

Shen Rongfei was well aware that a talent like Li Zhiyan was bound to achieve something in whatever he did; the world indeed had geniuses like Li Zhiyan.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of Chenchen."

"Mm, Mom has some company matters to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer. My good son, call Mom if you need anything."

As they were parting, Shen Rongfei also pinched Li Zhiyan's cheek.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with a mother's doting love; she was genuinely, overwhelmingly approving of this son.

Watching the departing Mercedes S, Li Zhiyan, holding one hundred thousand yuan, went to a nearby bank.

He deposited the hundred thousand yuan into his account, and his savings reached 2.4 million.

A year earning tens of millions was just within reach.

This made Li Zhiyan's heart uncontrollably excited.

He was indeed better suited to being a brother who could get rich by doing tasks.

...

On Tuesday, the day was very calm.

Li Zhiyan went to help Jiang Xian with a biology research topic.

In the evening, he had a heart-to-heart talk with Aunt Fang.

It was the same on Wednesday, but by Wednesday afternoon, Li Zhiyan was on alert.

It was time for Zhang Honglei's campaign to win back his mother's love.

At that moment, while in class, Zhang Honglei heard the two female classmates in front of him whispering.

Although they spoke quietly, he still heard some of it.

"Zhang Honglei is really such a beast, pretending to be a rich second generation, and even the BMW 4 Series is bought on a loan?"

"Yeah, I heard that it was zero down payment, and the monthly repayments are over seven thousand. The aunt in the cheongsam is his real mom, and if Zhang Honglei can't pay off the loan next month, his car will be towed away."

"That must be a rumor..."

"Actually, I don't know either, just some gossip. If Zhang Honglei's car is gone, then he's definitely a fraud and not a rich second generation."

Zhang Honglei's fists were clenched tightly; they actually doubted his identity as a rich scion?

Could anyone else in class be like him, born to such a wealthy family?

No, he absolutely could not lose his BMW 4 Series.

He must win back his mother's love so she would pay off his car loan.

After school, he straight went to the internet café.

Looking at Wu Qingxian, dressed in professional attire, Zhang Honglei realized that he had never noticed before how beautiful and loving his mother was.

He really had been blind before to overlook his mother's love!

Mom was like an angel.

If he had properly nurtured his mother's love before,

then getting her to pay off his car loan would not be a problem now. He had been too rough before.

"Mom."

Approaching, Zhang Honglei called out to her.

"I know I was wrong."

Zhang Honglei's beastly behavior was all observed by Li Zhiyan, who was sitting in the Ten Yuan Area.

Just now, he had already told Wu Qingxian that Zhang Honglei would come to admit his mistake, but that it was insincere.

As for why, he hadn't said yet; he wanted to deepen the disappointment in Wu Auntie's heart.

At that moment, Wu Qingxian involuntarily shuddered with uncertainty. Could it be that her son really knew he was wrong?

No matter what a jerk Zhang Honglei was, after all, he was my only flesh and blood in this world.

As long as he begged for my forgiveness and sincerely admitted his mistakes, I would still forgive him.

But because of what Li Zhiyan said, Wu Qingxian had already become wary of Zhang Honglei.

"What did you do wrong?"

Wu Qingxian's attitude was very cold, but she still spoke to Zhang Honglei, which made him excited.

"Mom, I really made a mistake."

"I shouldn't have lost my temper at you."

"I shouldn't have kept asking you for money."

"I know I was wrong, please, I'm begging you."

"Forgive me."

"In this world, only you care for me."

"You are the most beautiful in the world, with the best figure."

"The best mom."

Zhang Honglei kept praising Wu Qingxian, hoping to put her in a better mood.

Li Zhiyan fell silent for a moment, wondering how the beast had suddenly come to his senses.

If he had known how to compliment like this before, Wu Auntie would probably have been charmed by him long ago.

A simple compliment from her own son could make a mother happy for half a day.

Not to mention continuous praise.

Listening to Zhang Honglei's confessions and compliments,

Wu Qingxian subconsciously wanted to forgive Zhang Honglei.

After all, he was her own son, her only son.

All those years of hard work to save up three hundred thousand, who was it for? Wasn't it for Zhang Honglei, in the hope that he would grow up, get married and have children?

However, Li Zhiyan's words had made Wu Qingxian vigilant.

"Hmm, I see. Go back to school now."

"I don't blame you."

Wu Qingxian spoke in a very flat tone, not calling herself mom, but using 'I' instead.

Although Wu Qingxian claimed not to blame him,

Zhang Honglei couldn't shake off a feeling of estrangement.

He squeezed out a few tears and said, "Then, mom, I'll go back first. Don't abandon me or ignore me. You're the only family I have."

Seeing Zhang Honglei's tearful appearance, Wu Qingxian's heart softened too, but upon seeing Li Zhiyan sitting not far away,

she calmed down again, certain that Li Zhiyan would never deceive her.

He had always been very filial to her; whenever she was in despair, he would appear.

And it was he who gave her the Samsung phone on her birthday, the most valuable birthday gift she had ever received; he would definitely not lie to her.

"I understand, you can go back now."

"Okay, mom, I'll go back now. I love you."

He said, as tears streamed down Zhang Honglei's face.

His heart started to truly ache as his vanity faded; after all, he was a normal person.

Wu Qingxian's heart felt a pang, and she almost burst into tears along with him.

Mother and son are connected at the heart; it was impossible for Wu Qingxian to completely ignore her own son's emotions.

But she still held back, because she believed in Li Zhiyan.

Seeing that his mother didn't soften to forgive him made Zhang Honglei realize he needed to wait properly.

But he was certain that acting pitiful would undoubtedly secure his mother's forgiveness.

"I'm leaving now, mom."

After Zhang Honglei left, Li Zhiyan stepped forward.

He took Wu Qingxian's hand and walked toward the manager's rest room.

"Wu Auntie, Zhang Honglei is a beast."

"All of what he did just now was just an act."

Wu Qingxian nodded gently.

"Xiao Yan, tell me what happened."

"Take a look at this video."

Li Zhiyan, determined to have a fruit juice today, sat down beside Wu Qingxian.

He opened the video on his phone.

In the video, Zhang Honglei sat in a brand new convertible BMW, bragging with a female classmate.

His demeanor was that of a bona fide rich second generation.

Watching it made Wu Qingxian anxious.

"Why is Xiao Lei sitting in such a car? That's a BMW, right? That car is expensive, isn't it?"

Li Zhiyan, having obtained all the details of Zhang Honglei's car purchase from the system,

"Yes, Wu Auntie, that car is worth over four hundred thousand. It belongs to Zhang Honglei."

"His tearful performance here today is related to that car."

Wu Qingxian's mind went blank. Could her son afford a car worth over four hundred thousand?
