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

[Procrastination... just about done with a little addition! Delete this line before reading]

Regarding her relationship with Li Zhiyan, Zheng Yiyun was very self-aware.

She really used to wish he would just die early.

The conflict between the two had truly reached an irreconcilable point.

It was after she broke off with Pan Yunhu.

That her relationship with Li Zhiyan eased up quite a bit.

"Aunt Zheng, it's very normal, doing business always comes with risks, no one can always have smooth sailing."

"So, encountering some unexpected situations in between is perfectly normal."

Li Zhiyan said with a smile.

He didn't want to further demoralize Zheng Yiyun.

It was more comfortable being Zheng Yiyun's creditor.

"How about this, Aunt Zheng, aren't you short of money."

"A million, I'll lend it to you."

Li Zhiyan said very casually.

He didn't want to miss the chance to become Zheng Yiyun's creditor.

"You..."

"Lend it to me?"

At this moment, Zheng Yiyun couldn't believe her ears, she really suspected she hadn't heard correctly.

She never thought that Li Zhiyan would say such a thing.

At the same time, she didn't dare to agree.

In her heart, she was a bit afraid this was a trap from Li Zhiyan.

"Of course."

Li Zhiyan sat opposite Zheng Yiyun, looking at her bright eyes, and felt quite moved in his heart.

This woman was indeed beautiful, and there was a reason she was once called one of the three campus beauties alongside his mom and Aunt Wu.

"Why do you want to lend me money."

"Because we are husband and wife."

Li Zhiyan gently took Zheng Yiyun's hand.

This really startled Zheng Yiyun.

Husband and wife...

Is this how Li Zhiyan sees himself?

He views her as so important in his heart?

For a moment, Zheng Yiyun felt like she was dreaming.

"Who is husband and wife with you..."

Zheng Yiyun said softly, but inside she felt a kind of secret joy.

Although unwilling to admit it, Zheng Yiyun also knew that Li Zhiyan was the only support she had in this world now.

"Even a short-term couple is still a couple, Aunt Zheng, you can't deny this, right."

The past incidents with Li Zhiyan resurfaced in Zheng Yiyun's mind.

She and Li Zhiyan did have a fling, especially when they were caught in the act by Zhou Rongrong at Li Zhiyan's home before.

Thinking back on that experience was always enough to make her face flush.

"Aunt Zheng, don't worry, I'll lend you the money."

"I'll transfer it to you right away."

"Just give me your card number."

Zheng Yiyun felt a bit embarrassed.

But she also knew, she indeed needed the money, and the person ultimately lending it to her was none other than Li Zhiyan.

Soon, Li Zhiyan transferred a million to Zheng Yiyun.

Seeing the notification of the million credited, Zheng Yiyun felt much relieved inside.

With this million, she could last for quite a while.

And the reward from the system also arrived quickly.

Li Zhiyan's savings reached 225 million.

"Li Zhiyan..."

"Auntie really didn't expect that you would be the one to lend her money in the end."

"Aunt Zheng, there's nothing surprising about it."

"After all, in the whole of Wancheng, I'm the only one who cares about you, right."

Looking at Li Zhiyan in front of her, Zheng Yiyun also felt quite a bit of emotional turmoil.

This brat, he really seemed quite good...

"Stop joking around, just wait for the meal, it's also a good chance to taste how the food at my restaurant is."

Unconsciously, there was already a gentle look in Zheng Yiyun's eyes when she looked at Li Zhiyan.

When dish after dish of Western food was served.

Li Zhiyan looked at the various expensive ingredients.

He understood even better why Zheng Yiyun's restaurant was doing so poorly in business.

In a place like Wancheng, such expenses were still quite high.

"Aunt Zheng, your chefs here really have great skills."

"Indeed..."

Pouring a glass of red wine, Zheng Yiyun said with some wistfulness, "The salaries of the two head chefs are very high too."

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment and decided not to continue the business talk with Zheng Yiyun.

He would just wait for Zheng Yiyun to go bankrupt.

"Aunt Zheng, things will get better."

"Hopefully..."

Somehow, Zheng Yiyun had no confidence in her future.

Although she got the money, she also felt like the future looked very bleak.

"Aunt Zheng, let's not talk about this, what exactly was the conflict between you and my mom before?"

"Actually, there wasn't any real conflict between your mom and me."

"I just felt I was very pretty back then, so I was a bit arrogant..."

Recalling the past, Zheng Yiyun also felt she was indeed very naive at that time.

"I really liked being pursued and feeling like the center of attention then."

"But your mom was even prettier, more people were after her."

"She was basically the goddess of the whole school, every day going to school."

"Her drawer was full of love letters."

"I was very jealous of her."

As she spoke, a sense of helplessness filled Zheng Yiyun's heart.

Looks were really something you were born with, Zhou Rongrong was naturally beautiful.

Even though there was hardly any flaw in her own appearance, she couldn't compete with Zhou Rongrong.

"Then I started spreading rumors about her, saying she had a boyfriend outside of school..."

Saying this, a bit of guilt rose in Zheng Yiyun's heart.

"In high school, we weren't even dating anyone."

"Thinking back now, I truly feel guilty and realize how immature I was."
