The moment Yu Sisi saw Li Zhiyan, she remembered the awkwardness of the day before.
Now, quite a few classmates were talking about her unrequited feelings.
And he had actually confessed his love to her own mother!
Even though she knew her mom would never be with Li Zhiyan, she felt really terrible about it.
After following Gu Wanzhou to the Xinyuan Grand Hotel entrance, she asked irritably, "Li Zhiyan, what are you doing here?"
She had originally looked down on Li Zhiyan, just leading him on for her own amusement.
But now, she felt a deep revulsion toward Li Zhiyan.
With his single-parent family background, she could never see herself with him in this lifetime.
Liu Zifeng was merely within her considerations, nothing more.
"Sisi, is that how you talk to your classmate?"
Aunt Gu corrected her daughter's attitude from the side.
Yu Sisi turned her head away, clearly not wanting to talk more with Li Zhiyan. She felt there was nothing at all about him that interested her.
The clown had been pursuing her, providing her with a feeling of accomplishment; that was somewhat useful until yesterday.
She didn't want to deal with Li Zhiyan anymore.
Looking at Yu Sisi's retreating figure, Gu Wanzhou felt somewhat helpless; her daughter had grown up and indeed was not easy to manage.
"Xiao Yan, how come you are here?"
Gu Wanzhou recalled what Li Zhiyan had said about them being fated yesterday.
She didn't expect them to run into each other here.
"Aunt Gu, I helped someone with a project before, and after contacting him, he told me to come here to collect my payment," Li Zhiyan explained.
According to the system's prompt, all he needed to do was find President Liu, Liu Yan, here to collect the money.
"Project? What project?" Aunt Gu asked, piqued by curiosity.
"Something like computer programming," Li Zhiyan answered.
After Li Zhiyan finished speaking, Gu Wanzhou's impression of him plummeted rapidly.
She had thought Li Zhiyan, growing up in a single-parent family and lacking affection, with an Oedipus complex and teenage fantasies, might have developed feelings for her.
In Gu Wanzhou's heart, Li Zhiyan was a very pitiful, very honest child.
But now, it seemed not only was he naïve, he was also quite calculating.
Why had he said they were fated yesterday?
Probably only because he knew she would be coming to the Xinyuan Grand Hotel today.
So he deliberately showed up, pretending to have a destiny with her, and from his naïve talk of computer programming, she could conclude that he was lying.
A second-tier university student, who couldn't even manage his studies well, let alone do those complex computer things.
Coming up with such a poor excuse, he really was no different from a ten-year-old child.
If he was so annoying, then she didn't need to think about giving him the cold treatment.
She could simply reject him.
Li Zhiyan sensed something from Aunt Gu's gaze as well.
Indeed, his story was a bit too far-fetched, and no sane person would believe it, yet it was actually true.
Just then, an Audi A6 stopped at the entrance right behind them.
After Liu Zifeng got out of the passenger side,
a voluptuous and attractive older woman stepped out of the driver's seat, dressed in a black suit dress.
Her voluptuousness was just right, not overweight at all.
The sight of her D+ bust and shapely legs sheathed in stockings under the short skirt quickened the pace of Li Zhiyan's hormones. Despite looking like a woman in her forties, she was truly beautiful.
The charm of this mature woman briefly stunned Li Zhiyan.
This woman seemed somewhat familiar, yet he couldn't recall where he knew her from at the moment.
That's right!
Li Zhiyan remembered who the voluptuous beauty was.
Liu Zifeng's mother, Rao Shi Yun.
No wonder Liu Zifeng is so handsome; turns out he has such a beautiful mom. It's just that I never paid attention to her in my past life.
When Liu Zifeng saw Li Zhiyan, his expression soured a bit.
Young people are often in a state where they fear neither heaven nor earth.
Therefore, they usually don't hide their emotions.
He had fought with Li Zhiyan before, found him extremely displeasing, and now his dislike for Li Zhiyan was even stronger.
How come this kid is here?
Rao Shiyun stepped forward and greeted Gu Wanzhou.
"Wanzhou, your daughter has gotten even more beautiful. If only she could become my daughter-in-law."
Gu Wanzhou was somewhat helpless.
"That's up to your son to work harder. There's nothing I can do if she doesn't agree."
Afterward, Rao Shiyun also noticed Li Zhiyan standing next to Gu Wanzhou.
"Wanzhou, is this young man your nephew or your cousin?"
In Rao Shiyun's guess, this young man must be Gu Wanzhou's nephew or cousin.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so close to Gu Wanzhou.
"No, he's my daughter's classmate, Li Zhiyan."
Hearing the name Li Zhiyan, Rao Shiyun became interested.
Looking over Li Zhiyan, she knew that if he really wanted to be with Gu Wanzhou, it was basically hopeless.
Gu Wanzhou has high standards, either handsome men or those with successful careers.
This kid, with his ordinary height and looks, definitely wasn't Gu Wanzhou's type.
As for career, men with talent and capability are always in demand.
She also liked capable men.
But he was only 18 years old; after graduation, he would probably earn just a few thousand yuan in salary. What kind of prospects could he have?
His only advantage was probably his youth.
However, Gu Wanzhou certainly wouldn't be with him just because he's young.
Loving someone with an age gap, especially a whopping 23 years apart.
The problems they would have to face were just too many.
An 18-year-old boy and a 41-year-old woman being in a relationship, holding hands, kissing, sleeping together.
It just doesn't seem realistic, all you can say is that the kid is commendable for his courage.
"So this is the Li Zhiyan who confessed to you, the youngster has got guts,"
"He even dared to confess to you, Aunt Gu. Aunt Gu used to be a famous beauty."
"Xiao Li, you've got good taste. Auntie wishes you an early success in winning over the beauty."
Rao Shiyun seemed to admire Li Zhiyan and made Gu Wanzhou's face warm up a little.
This woman, how could she bring this up?
Was it Liu Zifeng who told her?
This issue would probably become gossip in the circle for many years to come.
"Stop talking nonsense."
"It's about time, let's go inside."
"Pretty much everyone is here."
Rao Shiyun waved her hand at Li Zhiyan.
"Then Li Zhiyan, we're going ahead, cheer up, Auntie thinks you'll definitely win over Aunt Gu!"
The temperature of Gu Wanzhou's pretty face rose a bit more.
Her impression of Li Zhiyan had dropped significantly.
She felt increasingly that Li Zhiyan had a crush and wanted to take a woman 23 years his senior to a hotel room to fulfill his fantasies.
To vent the hormones of adolescence.
For this purpose, he even used such childish tactics to pretend there was a special fate between them.
Li Zhiyan nodded slightly; he had checked earlier, and Liu Yan hadn't arrived yet. He might as well wait a bit longer.
