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

...

On the ride home, Yu Sisi couldn't stop thinking about the image of Li Zhiyan embracing her mother.

That hug had been a perfect fit.

It brought her back to the graduation party when Li Zhiyan had publicly confessed his feelings to her mother.

A sense of crisis inexplicably surged in Yu Sisi's heart.

After getting to know Li Zhiyan better, Yu Sisi felt her affection for him growing by the day.

The more he ignored her, the more she wanted to get close to him.

Recently, she even harbored thoughts of confessing her love to him. If only Li Zhiyan would agree to be with her, it would absolutely be worth it to confess.

But Li Zhiyan's attitude left Yu Sisi with no confidence at all.

Now, seeing how close he was with her mother, Yu Sisi couldn't help but feel worried...

However, after giving it some thought, she felt the likelihood of her mother and him being together was next to nothing.

After all, there was a huge age difference of 23 years between them, a disparity that doomed some possibilities from the start.

As long as she made an effort, there was definitely a chance.

Up front, Gu Wanzhou also breathed a small sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Li Zhiyan hadn't called her Wanzhou in front of her daughter; otherwise, even she wouldn't know how to explain it.

She needed to spend more time with the child in the future to change her thinking.

She couldn't let her always see her as a woman, but rather as an elder to be respected.

However, thinking about her recent coldness towards Li Zhiyan,

Gu Wanzhou felt a twinge of guilt for not considering the child's feelings while trying to handle the situation with indifference.

She would have to make it up to her in the future.

Li Zhiyan, on the other hand, was reminiscing about eating seafood with Auntie Jiang at the restaurant.

That feeling was truly unforgettable.

At the same time, the idea of buying a new phone crossed Li Zhiyan's mind.

Given the current state of things, knock-off phones were too slow, and he could afford a Samsung.

The Samsung Galaxy S had been on sale for seven months now; he should get one when he has the chance.

Although he was quite used to his flip phone, it still wasn't as convenient as a smartphone.

Now that all of his roommates were using smartphones, he was the only one still using GPRS for the internet.

...

Inside the school, Zhang Honglei, Yin Qiang, and two other rich second-generation kids stood together smoking cigarettes.

Decked out in the latest Nike sneakers, Zhang Honglei was glowing with satisfaction.

Ever since his mother brought him five thousand yuan to school, all his classmates were convinced that he was a genuine rich second-gen kid.

This feeling gave Zhang Honglei an indescribable thrill.

He was completely immersed in playing this role.

"Zhang Honglei, I didn't expect your family to be so rich; you even have a maid at home," Yin Qiang said with a hint of admiration in his voice, something his own family didn't have.

"The house is quite big, so we need a maid to clean and such," Zhang Honglei said, surrounded by a cloud of smoke, feeling undeniably cool.

"You should hurry up and get a BMW, or an Audi, even a Mercedes-Benz C-class would do.

"How comfortable would it be when we all go out?"

"I'm talking to my mom about it. I'll definitely buy one," Zhang Honglei said, even believing himself to be a rich second-gen by now.

"Hey, Brother Long, can I borrow your Audi A4 for the National Day holiday?"

Although Wang Long was taken aback for a moment, he agreed.

"Sure, my parents are taking me to Singapore for a holiday over National Day."

"You can borrow it; that's fine."

Zhang Honglei seemed rich enough, so Wang Long wasn't worried that he might damage the car.

These things weren't important; as long as one could afford to pay for damages, it was alright.

At this moment, Zhang Honglei was completely ecstatic.

This National Day, he could go out and pick up girls in an Audi A4!

This was the car he had always dreamt of.

"Thanks, Brother Long," he said.

Yin Qiang took out his Samsung phone to check the time.

Turning to Zhang Honglei, he said, "Xiao Lei, your clothes and shoes are spot on, but if you're hanging out with us all the time, you need to get a decent phone.

"Like the new Samsung Galaxy S; it's really good.

"Your current phone just doesn't have any prestige.

"Three thousand four hundred isn't expensive; it's no big deal for you."

Zhang Honglei knew that the phones these guys owned were very valuable, which made him feel a touch of envy.

Blinded by vanity, he readily agreed.

"Fine, it's just a phone for 3400, right? I'll buy it later.

"Let's go sing at the KTV; my treat."

After buying the sneakers, Zhang Honglei still had a considerable amount of money left, plus his saved-up living expenses, adding up to twenty-five hundred in savings. He was ready to splurge.

"Sure, I'll call a few girls," said Wang Long.

Hearing that Wang Long was inviting girls, Zhang Honglei's excitement peaked. Later, when ordering fruit platters and beer, he would have to show off a bit. The bill had to hit the standard of a thousand yuan.

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Xian was getting restless in the hotel.

At first, she was genuinely scared that Yen Zhengjin might do something crazy.

But after thinking it over, she realized Li Zhiyan made a lot of sense.

She knew some secrets about Yen Zhengjin that she could use against him if he dared to come after her again. She would report him.

With that thought, she checked out of the room.

Then she went to Wanda Plaza specifically to buy pepper spray and a fruit knife for protection.
