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

"Xiao Yan."

After reaching behind Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian greeted him cheerfully.

"Auntie, you\'re here looking for someone again? Let me help you look for them."

Seeing Auntie\'s incredibly fair and beautiful face and skin, Li Zhiyan was also very enthusiastic.

The two of them walked around inside the internet café, with Jiang Xian occasionally scanning the surroundings.

After searching the first and second floors without finding any of Yen Zhengjin\'s students, Li Zhiyan walked her out of the internet café.

As they walked, Li Zhiyan couldn\'t shake the feeling that Auntie seemed to have something on her mind.

"Auntie, do you have something weighing on your mind?"

"I feel like you are troubled about something."

Jiang Xian hadn\'t expected Li Zhiyan to be so perceptive about emotions.

"Yes, Xiao Yan, there are some things, it\'s about what I mentioned to you earlier. Your teacher\'s been acting a bit off."

"Recently, I\'ve noticed his state is even worse. He\'s distracted even when eating, as if he\'s preoccupied with something, and he\'s stopped washing his hair too."

"He often smells... uh, really bad..."

"I don\'t even want to be near him. Could he be having an affair?"

Li Zhiyan replied with some surprise, "Auntie, judging by the teacher\'s condition, he doesn\'t seem like he is capable of having an affair."

Yen Zhengjin not only had sparse hair but also looked like someone who was evidently suffering from kidney deficiency.

It was questionable whether he could function as a normal man, let alone cheat.

After being told this by Li Zhiyan,

Jiang Xian\'s lovely face blushed red, realizing that the young boy had grown up and now understood everything.

Indeed, her husband really wasn\'t capable of having an affair.

"Anyway, I just feel something\'s not right with him, and he won\'t talk about it."

"So I\'m feeling a bit uneasy."

Li Zhiyan thought Yen Zhengjin might have developed a gambling addiction or something, given the behavior described by Auntie, which resembled that of a gambler.

However, he didn\'t voice this thought, deciding it was better not to speculate without knowledge of the situation.

"Oh, there\'s another thing."

"Your teacher wants a divorce from me."

At this revelation, Li Zhiyan was also taken aback. A divorce?

Yen Zhengjin wanted a divorce from Auntie? Marrying someone as beautiful as Auntie was a stroke of luck, why would he think of getting a divorce?

"Auntie, is the teacher bullying you? If that\'s the case, tell me, I\'ll back you up," Li Zhiyan offered.

Backing someone up, he was absolutely strong at that.

"No, it\'s not that. Our neighborhood is going through demolition soon."

"If we get divorced, we could get an extra apartment."

"So, your teacher wants to divorce me. We\'ll split but still live together; that way, we can earn quite a bit more money."

"It\'s just I believe marriage is significant, and I wanted to grow old with your teacher."

"If we divorce, it feels like I\'m not being responsible toward our marriage."

"Xiao Yan, what do you think about this?"

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment.

Then he said, "Auntie, I think it\'s actually okay to get divorced."

"After all, an apartment is not a small amount of money."

"Besides, if the love is true, it should withstand tests like this."

"If the teacher doesn\'t cherish you, having a marriage certificate wouldn\'t mean much, would it?"

"If you get divorced, you could always remarry later."

"It\'s also a little test for your marriage, isn\'t it?"

Jiang Xian had been struggling internally with whether to get remarried.

But now, thinking it over, she realized Li Zhiyan made too much sense.

If the feelings she had for her husband over these years couldn\'t withstand this little challenge, like Li Zhiyan said, it indeed seemed rather meaningless.

.

"I understand now," Auntie replied.

"When I get back, I\'ll go through with the divorce. But after that, I won\'t be your Auntie anymore."

"In my heart, you\'ll always be Auntie."

"And you\'re like a second mother to me; later, I can call you Auntie Jiang or \'Mom Jiang\'."

"When you and my teacher remarry."

"Then I\'ll call you Auntie again."

Jiang Xian felt a warmth in her heart; the young boy was truly wonderful.

"\'Mom Jiang,\' that sounds quite nice, as if I really were your mother."

"Good son," she sighed.

"Mom is going home to get a divorce now."

Patting Li Zhiyan\'s head, Jiang Xian briefly indulged in playing the role of a mother.

It wasn\'t until after Auntie Jiang had walked away that Li Zhiyan pondered over the beauty of her legs before heading back to the internet café.

All these women, why do they all want to be my mother?

Now, I\'ve truly become everyone\'s dream boy.

...

In the afternoon, the system announced a new task. Li Zhiyan, who was gaming, found it somewhat unexpected, as this task involved Rao Shi Yun.

"Rao Shi Yun\'s company and Li Meifeng\'s company have a joint project about to launch."

"Tonight, they are hosting a banquet for a Mister Li from within the system."

"Li Mingzhang is not only known for his extraordinary capacity for alcohol."

"But he\'s also a huge fan of the original \'Journey to the West.\'"

"Because of your remarkable ability to hold your liquor, Li Meifeng and Rao Shi Yun intend to invite you to help them make a good impression."

"Please help Rao Shi Yun secure the project and hug her waist for one minute."

"Reward for the task: fifty thousand yuan in cash."

"Title: King of the Wheel."

"The historical figure Lao Ai, once known as the Marquis of Changxin, had this kind of ability."

"After acquiring the title King of the Wheel, one will have the power to spin wheels."

"Since you know nothing about \'Journey to the West,\'"

"you will receive an enhancement of knowledge and interpretation of the original text."

"Enhancement complete..."

Li Zhiyan was somewhat surprised. Spinning wheels, he could spin wheels with his hands actually; this counted as a reward?
