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

Chapter 286 122 A warm moment between mother and child, bought the same pink Samsung for mom_2

If I had this Audi A4, would I be able to win over Su Mengyue?

Thinking of Su Mengyue's youthful pretty face, Zhang Honglei felt a burning desire in his heart.

The sound of a door locking echoed as Wu Qingxian returned to her own room.

Thinking about her son's Audi key, she felt a vague unease.

She always felt something was amiss.

"If Xiao Lei could be like Xiao Yan, that would be great."

With a myriad of thoughts and worries, Wu Qingxian had trouble falling asleep.

...

The next day, when Li Zhiyan woke up, he still felt invigorated.

There was no helping it; at his age, with the added title, he truly had boundless energy.

As usual, after getting up, Li Zhiyan saw his mom's best friend, Wu Qingxian, in the living room.

"Wu Auntie, you're here."

"Yes, Auntie missed you."

As she spoke, Wu Qingxian stepped forward to give Li Zhiyan a hug and even kissed him on the face.

After a brief hug, Li Zhiyan went to wash up.

After freshening up, he had breakfast.

Zhou Rongrong went out to have fun with Li Zhiyan as usual.

As they were parting, Zhou Rongrong cautioned him, "Son, when you're playing outside, remember to send mom a QQ message or a text to check in from time to time."

Li Zhiyan had never traveled far from home since he was young.

So Zhou Rongrong always felt uneasy.

"Don't worry, Rongrong, our son is such a mama's boy, even if you didn't mention it, he would still message you."

"Right, mom, wait a moment!"

"I'll go buy you a new phone."

Hearing that Li Zhiyan wanted to buy a new phone, Zhou Rongrong was clearly distressed.

"Son, your mother's phone works fine. It seems a bit wasteful to buy a new one,"

"These days, even a decent phone costs more than a thousand bucks."

Li Zhiyan shook his head.

"Mom, I'll buy you a Samsung, mainly because if you use a smartphone, I can send you photos to check in while I'm out having fun."

Hearing this, Zhou Rongrong was no longer worried about the expense.

If her son was far away, her heart would surely be anxious all the time; if she could see photos, it would make a difference.

"Well alright, mom will wait here for you."

"Go buy it."

Afterward, Li Zhiyan went to the Samsung flagship store outside of the community.

He came back with a Samsung phone, the same model as his, and at the same time, he got a new 3G card at the mobile operator's store.

"Mom, look, we have the same phone model, but I chose pink for you because it's for girls,"

"Mine is black."

Zhou Rongrong's pretty face was filled with a gentle smile, and her eyes twinkled with maternal warmth.

Her son had truly grown up.

"Xiao Yan, how much did the phone cost?"

"3400."

After unboxing the phone, Li Zhiyan helped his mother trim the SIM card, and then he set up the new Samsung phone.

"Mom, I'll download QQ for you."

"You might not be used to a smartphone at first, but you'll get the hang of it after a little while."

Li Zhiyan sat down with Zhou Rongrong, leaning into her embrace, and taught his mother how to use the smartphone.

Just like when he was little, and his mom taught him how to read bit by bit.

Watching this scene of motherly love and filial piety,

Wu Qingxian felt the utmost envy. Such a happy family—her own son didn't have such an attitude towards her at all.

Let alone bringing her gifts, her son had never even celebrated her birthday with a present.

Whenever she refused to give him money for branded goods he wanted, he would throw a tantrum.

In comparison, Li Zhiyan was just too good.

"Mom, look, you just click here to take a photo."

"Then hit confirm, send it to me, and I can see the picture you sent."

"You can also see the ones I send you."

"From now on, just use this phone number."

"I've already taken care of the monthly data plan for you."

Zhou Rongrong, looking at the photos her son had sent, felt reassured in her heart.

That way, even if her son was away, she could still be aware of his whereabouts.

"Okay, then mom is going out to have fun with Wu Auntie now."

Zhou Rongrong knew Wu Qingxian had things on her mind, so she intended to spend more time going out with her.

"Goodbye mom."

...

As they left the house, Wu Qingxian said enviously, "Rongrong, honestly, I'm really envious of you."

"It's just we women, and you've given birth to such a good son."

"He's so patient with you; it seems that 'mother's boys' are actually better."

Zhou Rongrong still replied with a gentle smile.

"Being a mother's boy is both good and bad, but he might get disliked by his wife later on because of it."

"I'm a bit worried about that. My son is too attached to me."

"I wonder if that will be a problem when he's looking for a partner, being a mama's boy and all."

Wu Qingxian felt somewhat helpless.

"I wish my son was a mama's boy,"

"Unfortunately, he barely pays me any attention."

"He only ever asks me for money, and since he started university, the amount he asks for has only increased."

"His monthly expenses are over two thousand yuan."

Hearing this, Zhou Rongrong was also shocked...

More than two thousand yuan; that seemed excessively high. She knew very well that even after her best friend changed jobs to a new company, she earned just over four thousand.

She still had to cover rent, utilities, and living expenses. If she gave out more than two thousand a month for living expenses, then she wouldn't have much left at all.
