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

Thinking of this, his heart became resolute.

However, Zhang Honglei was well aware that his mom had just recently brought him five thousand yuan to school and that he had also taken a thousand yuan from her drawer. There was no way she would give him money if he asked for it tonight.

But he could go to the company to ask for money. If she refused, he could cause a scene in the office, preventing her from working, and she would definitely give him the five thousand yuan.

Although he knew this method could get him the money.

Zhang Honglei still had a conscience, after all. Conscience and greed weaved constantly within his heart, and he became increasingly conflicted.

At noon, after Li Zhiyan arrived at the clothing store,n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jiang Xian was already frying dishes in the kitchen.

"Auntie Jiang, that smells delicious!"

"Hmm, Xiao Yan, you're here,"

Jiang Xian gently touched Li Zhiyan's face.

"You've been quite free these days."

Indeed, free but feeling uneasy. This rent has to be paid every day. These past days after deducting the rent, we only made a little over two hundred yuan."

"Don't worry, Auntie Jiang,"

"Just be at ease. Right now, it's just the holiday season, so it's slow. Once the semester starts, it's the golden period."

"We will definitely make money, and even if we don't, you still have me to support you. Besides, you're supposed to be my girlfriend,"

"Who agreed to be your girlfriend..."

Jiang Xian's face flushed slightly, but the idea of becoming Li Zhiyan's girlfriend was becoming increasingly uncontrollable in her heart.

After lunch, Li Zhiyan ran to the entrance and pulled down the roller door.

"What are you doing now..."

Jiang Xian asked quietly.

"Time for a nap, Auntie Jiang. We need to help each other doze off early,"

Jiang Xian knew that in such hot weather, a nap was indeed needed.

Otherwise, one would be very sleepy by six in the afternoon or nine at night.

In a high-end beauty salon,

Yin Xueyang was chatting with her bestie while enjoying a steam bath.

Her bestie said enviously, "Your bust is so impressive, I'm so jealous. It's a pity that our beautiful Yin is all alone at home."

"It's such a waste."

Yin Xueyang faintly smelled a hint of something, but today she was still in control of herself.

"Who says I'm wasting anything? Do you think I sit idle all day? Three or five men wouldn't be enough for my taste,"

Although usually chaste, Yin Xueyang was inherently sultry. These years without a man were only because she had high standards and saw no one as worthy.

"Keep boasting."

"Say one more word and see if I don't take care of you right here!"

"But we are both women,"

"I have plenty of ways to deal with women too!"

The two joked around.

Her bestie then said, "How is that kid who bullied your son doing now?"

Speaking of Li Zhiyan, Yin Xueyang said with a hint of resentment, "That kid has been dealt with, but he seems to have had no reaction. I'll have to think of other methods in the future."

Dealing with an ordinary student, Yin Xueyang was very confident.

Looking at her three snow-white fingers, something came to her mind.

...

At four-thirty in the afternoon, having made up his mind, Zhang Honglei arrived at Wu Qingxian's office.

Upon reaching the office, he saw his mom working there, dressed in a qipao,

with quite a few of her colleagues around her.

"Mom, give me five thousand yuan," Find more chapters on empire

"I need it urgently,"

Wu Qingxian suddenly heard her son's voice and thought she was hearing things. When she finally put down her work and looked up,

she indeed saw her son had come, asking directly for five thousand yuan—this time, he didn't even bother with a reason.

"Impossible, go back home."

Wu Qingxian also knew that indulging her son was like killing him. Under these circumstances, she couldn't let him continue his downward spiral.

That kind of life simply wasn't for him; she lacked the means to support his wastefulness.

And he himself didn't have the extraordinary ability to make money like Li Zhiyan. Continuing like this would only harm him.

"Give me the money, Mom."

Although deep down, he felt for his mother, at that moment, Zhang Honglei was completely consumed by greed. His avarice made him want only to get his hands on the five thousand yuan.

"Impossible."

"Give me the money!"

Zhang Honglei's voice grew more intense, ready to make a scene. He was determined to get the five thousand yuan to squander that day.

At this moment, his middle-aged colleague Bao Xunwen's eyes lit up...

Bao Xunwen had coveted Wu Qingxian for quite a long time, having hinted at wanting her to be his mistress.

But Wu Qingxian had never shown any interest in Bao Xunwen, nor had she any intention of getting involved with anyone else.

Thus, she had never paid any attention to him...

However, now Bao Xunwen saw an opportunity; he hadn't expected Wu Qingxian to have such an irresponsible son.

If used correctly...

Looking at Wu Qingxian's fair cheeks and graceful figure, he felt a burning desire that he couldn't suppress.

"Give me five thousand yuan!"

Zhang Honglei picked up a folder from Wu Qingxian's desk and threw it on the ground.

Seeing Zhang Honglei gearing up to smash other things on the desk,

Wu Qingxian stood up.

"Wait here, I'll go get your money."

"After this, apart from your living expenses, I'm not giving you another penny.

Her voice was very calm, having completely lost hope in her son.

She just couldn't understand how her son, whom she had raised so carefully, had turned out like this.
