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

"I'm pretty short on money now for my business, so..."

"Dear sister, no problem, just tell me how much you need."

Zheng Yiyun's pretty face was full of surprise.

To her amazement, the attempt to borrow money was successful this time.

"I need a million."

"Alright, no problem..."

"Signal..."

"The signal is a bit bad..."

The call was quickly disconnected.

"Aunt Zheng, I don't think it's necessary to call back; you're probably blacklisted now."

Both Shen Rongfei and Yin Xueyang had experienced such indifference.

When things were good, everyone was like brothers.

But when one hit rock bottom,

those so-called friends would change faces in no time.

"Elder Sister Wang just faced a bad signal."

Then, Zheng Yiyun dialed the number again.

Li Zhiyan found it somewhat amusing.

This woman...

She's really foolish beyond measure.

No wonder her business failed like this.

Zheng Yiyun waited with some anticipation for the call to connect.

However, she had already been blacklisted.

"Aunt Zheng, there are still a few more people you could try borrowing from. Please give them a call."

Looking dejected, Zheng Yiyun continued making calls.

Witnessing her pitiable appearance,

Li Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.

After making the last two calls,

Zheng Yiyun put down her phone, fully aware in her heart.

None of her friends was genuinely loyal.

An unprecedented sense of defeat rose within her.

Zheng Yiyun felt that her life so far had been a complete failure.

"Li Zhiyan, why are you here?"

"I missed you, so I came to see you. Plus, it's just about meal time. How about you treat me to dinner?"

"Hmm..."

Zheng Yiyun nodded lightly and stood up, her gait was somewhat unsteady.

The blow she received was evidently severe.

"Aunt Zheng, don't be sad."

"In reality, most friends are insincere and unreliable."

Li Zhiyan understood this deeply.

Hence, he treated his close friends so well and planned to lend them a hand.

Even a friend willing to lend a thousand dollars is probably extremely valuable.

Expecting to borrow a million like Zheng Yiyun did was purely wishful thinking.

A million isn't a small amount even for the wealthy.

Only those with dozens or hundreds of billions would not consider a million significant.

Still, it's unlikely they'll casually loan a million to Zheng Yiyun.

Especially since her business had essentially collapsed.

Lending her money would be like throwing it away.

In the private dining room, Li Zhiyan unapologetically ordered dishes, looking at the dispirited Zheng Yiyun.

Li Zhiyan softly said, "Aunt Zheng, you're very short on money now, right?"

With a light sigh, Zheng Yiyun felt even worse, fearing she couldn't escape this predicament.

"The beauty salon and this restaurant are both doing terribly, I initially hoped to quickly recoup some funds."

"But I didn't expect the business to end up in such a state."

Looking at Li Zhiyan before her, Zheng Yiyun was clearly aware that Li Zhiyan could easily loan her a million.

After all, he lived in a $40 million villa...

And had his own company and industries, but after the blows she faced earlier.

Zheng Yiyun didn't have the courage to ask.

Especially since she and Li Zhiyan couldn't even be considered mere friends.

They used to be enemies.
