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

Sometimes, Jiang Xian even suspected her ex-husband might be having an affair.

But then, considering his physical condition, she dismissed the ludicrous thought.

He was hardly of any use under normal circumstances, let alone cheating.

What has he been up to lately?

However, it has to be said that young people are the ones with better health, and in every aspect, Yen Zhengjin simply didn\'t compare to Li Zhiyan.

Looking at her two fingers, Jiang Xian went to the bathroom to wash up.

She had walked so much that day and sweated profusely, making her extremely uncomfortable.

...

Li Zhiyan, with nowhere else to go, went back home.

"Mom!"

After opening the door, Li Zhiyan called out for his mother.

Zhou Rongrong emerged from the bedroom with a face full of surprise. Li Zhiyan had come back without telling her.

So at that moment, Zhou Rongrong felt an immense mixture of astonishment and joy.

This child, why has he come back at this time? Meanwhile, a sense of worry bubbled up within her.

Could something have happened?

"Son, why have you suddenly come back in the middle of the night? Did something happen?"

The ever-attentive Zhou Rongrong was truly worried for Li Zhiyan.

"No...

"Mom, nothing\'s happened."

"I came today to handle some internet café business, so I came home."

"I\'ve asked for leave from the counselor, so you don\'t have to worry about that."

Zhou Rongrong then felt relieved.

"Son, are you hungry? Mom will make you some food."

"Mom, I\'ve already eaten."

Li Zhiyan stepped forward and gently hugged his mother.

As a certified mama\'s boy, he hadn\'t seen his mother since the start of the school term and he had missed her terribly.

"Mom, in a little while, I\'ll buy you a new apartment, and then you won\'t have to live in this rental anymore."

"Okay, mom will be waiting for your new apartment then."

Zhou Rongrong patted her son\'s head, feeling exceedingly proud. To have a son who, at 18, could achieve such great things was something she had never seen before.

...

Back in his room, Li Zhiyan looked at his savings; he had a total of 600,000.

Once he received the rewards from the milk tea shop, a million was within sight, given the current property prices in Wancheng.

Paying all-cash for a 130-square-meter apartment was not a problem at all, especially by the year 2013.

By then, the property prices in Wancheng would have skyrocketed.

Then, he tried sending a QQ message to Gu Wanzhou, to see if Aunt Gu was asleep.

"Aunt Gu, are you asleep?"

Gu Wanzhou: "Not yet."

"Wanzhou, let\'s go on a date tomorrow."

Gu Wanzhou: "Xiao Yan, wait a bit, Auntie is quite busy these days."

"So wait for a while."

Li Zhiyan knew that Gu Wanzhou was avoiding him, trying to cool off during this one month.

Afterward, it would be as if nothing had happened...

It seemed he could only rely on the system to meet Aunt Gu.

At that moment, the system released a new task.

Li Zhiyan felt somewhat emotional, the system seemed to be getting stronger, with one task following another.

"Task issued: In two days, Yen Zhengjin will lose 20,000 yuan in a game arcade.

"As a result, he will come home and throw a temper tantrum."

"And argue with Jiang Xian."

"Please comfort Jiang Xian at the appropriate time."

"Task reward: 100,000 yuan in cash."

"A reward of 100,000 yuan..."

"The system\'s reward amount is getting higher and higher."

"Five days\' time, it\'s just a blink of an eye after all."

As he planned for the future, Li Zhiyan fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next day, after Li Zhiyan came out of his room, he saw a table full of a sumptuous breakfast, clearly, his mom had put effort into it.

"Mom, why do you make so much food?"

"My son has come home after such a long time, of course, I have to make more food. I have to go to work in a bit, eat at your leisure."

Seeing a table brimming with maternal love, Li Zhiyan\'s heart couldn\'t help but feel an uncontrollable sense of happiness. It\'s really good to have a mom.

"By the way, son, have you seen your Wu Auntie? Her company isn\'t far from where you are."

Li Zhiyan shook his head...

"I haven\'t had the chance to go yet."

In his previous life, both Wu Auntie and his mom had gone to work in the Magic Capital, but in this life, because he didn\'t let his mom go to the Magic Capital, Wu Auntie also stayed in Wancheng.

"Now her job should have just stabilized."

"She moved there also to take care of her son more and to cook for him."

"When you have time, visit Wu Auntie."

"Wu Auntie likes you a lot, she almost became your godmother before."

At this moment, Li Zhiyan\'s heart also couldn\'t help recalling the past.

He and Wu Auntie had almost become mother and son.

But fortunately, they hadn\'t, or else some matters would really be impossible now.

"I know, mom. When Wu Auntie has the time, I will go see her."

Zhou Rongrong patted Li Zhiyan\'s head and continued to ask: "By the way, Xiao Yan.

"Is military training at university hard?"

"Not hard."

"Mom, don\'t worry about these things, I\'m doing really well at university."

"Just be at ease!"

While other students were miserably enduring training in the blazing sun and the wind.

He could blissfully go wherever he wanted and chat with the 39-year-old counselor.

It is simply too delightful, and as for hardships, they just didn\'t exist.

"Okay, then mom will stop worrying. Oh, son, have you met any girl you like at school?"
