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

Chapter 237: 111 Cabin, a breakthrough for a disheartened Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan_5

```

"If we can maintain the current business, we could earn a profit of twenty thousand yuan a month in the future."

"You're absolutely right, the key to selling clothes is the style."

Li Zhiyan handed the chilled sour plum drink to Jiang Xian.

"Auntie Jiang, you drink first."

As he spoke, he lowered the shutter door. The moment the shutter came down, Jiang Xian felt Li Zhiyan had come to join her for some snacks.

After all, that day Li Zhiyan had come for midnight snacks many times.

Even so, he still felt it wasn't enough.

However, to her surprise, Li Zhiyan just looked at her and said, "Auntie Jiang, although it's a bit cruel, I still have to tell you."

Jiang Xian had a bad feeling, could it be about her son?

"Xiao Yan, go ahead."

"It's Yen Lei, I saw him preparing red paint, likely planning to splash it on your shop."

"Today, while I wasn't on the street, I heard him talking on the phone with Yen Zhengjin. Yen Zhengjin said if you agreed to remarry him, he would reward Yen Lei with fifty thousand yuan."

"It's probably because of this that he came to find you before."

"Once the red paint is splashed, it's simply impossible to clean off."

"And it will emit a very unpleasant smell; for a long time to come, the shop is unlikely to do any business."

Yen Lei, truly born bad to the core, Li Zhiyan hadn't thought he would stoop so low against his own mother, splashing red paint, which looks like blood - definitely enough to frighten a woman.

"Really...?"

The sour plum drink in Jiang Xian's hand almost slipped; her son.

To think he would do such a thing. Last time he came to smash her shop was already too much, and now he even thought about splashing red paint on it.

Upon thinking, Jiang Xian's heart couldn't help but be overwhelmed with grief. Is this the good son she had raised from a child? How ridiculous.

"Auntie Jiang, let's hide outside the shop. If Yen Lei comes, we can catch him in the act."

Only ten or so minutes remained before the mission's execution time. Li Zhiyan knew they would definitely be able to wait it out.

"Okay..."

"Auntie will go out with you." Discover stories at M V L

After following Li Zhiyan outside, Jiang Xian pulled down the shutter door.

Since most college dorms have curfews, there weren't many people left on the street now.

After Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan hid in the alley next door, they waited quietly for Yen Lei to arrive.

In her heart, Jiang Xian prayed that her son wouldn't come. If he really did the act of splashing paint, she would no longer have a son in her heart.

What he had done before was already heartbreaking enough.

"Auntie Jiang."

"If he comes, what will you do?"

"Then I'll pretend I never had this son."

Before long, Yen Lei indeed came carrying a bucket.

Weak from only knowing how to play games, he tottered under the weight of the paint bucket, struggling with every step.

"He really came..."

At this moment, Jiang Xian's heart sunk to the bottom.

Upon reaching the shop's entrance, Yen Lei's eyes filled with the desire for fifty thousand yuan; he opened the lid and a pungent smell wafted out.

This confirmed for Jiang Xian that it was indeed the smell of low-quality red paint.

Her son had such a malicious heart, never caring that she was his own mother, never caring about her.

At this moment, Jiang Xian's heart died.

"What are you doing!"

Just as Yen Lei was about to splash the paint, he suddenly heard Li Zhiyan's shout, startling him.

The next second, Li Zhiyan's foot kicked him, and Yen Lei was sent flying. Too scared to care, he ran off. He deeply hated Li Zhiyan, who always spoiled his plans.

If it weren't for him, the shop would have been ruined tonight!

...

After cleaning up the paint and returning indoors with Jiang Xian, they lowered the shutter door again.

Li Zhiyan took off his T-shirt and washed his hands.

Only then was the smell of paint gone.

"Auntie Jiang..."

"Don't be sad. You must have been prepared for his behavior."

Jiang Xian indeed had been prepared, so she didn't cry on the spot, but her heart still harbored some hope, which now was filled with disappointment.

Looking at Li Zhiyan in front of her, Jiang Xian took the initiative and kissed him.

Their kiss continued from outside all the way into the little house.

Afterward, Jiang Xian fed Li Zhiyan snacks.

Some time later, Li Zhiyan, holding Jiang Xian's hand, said, "Auntie Jiang, will you help me, please?"

He gently kissed the palm of her hand.

He knew that a mature woman like Auntie Jiang would understand his meaning.

Their relationship had reached a point of transformation.
