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

They were a full 24 years apart in age, Wu Qingxian could have been Li Zhiyan's mother.

Ding Baijie felt as though she had opened the door to a new world upon realizing that such a large age gap could still allow for a relationship.

After leaving Wu Qingxian's lips, Li Zhiyan whispered softly, "Aunt Wu, let's keep working hard."

But Wu Qingxian pressed her hand against Li Zhiyan's shoulder.

"Little rascal, no."

"Why not, it's not even the right day today."

Li Zhiyan was somewhat anxious at the moment, and he hadn't caught on to what was really going on.

"Xiao Yan, Auntie is pregnant."

One sentence left Li Zhiyan frozen in place.

However, he was soon enveloped by a wave of ecstasy. After all, Wang Shangyan had already brought him good news.

He hadn't expected to be doubly blessed; this was simply wonderful.

"That's great."

"Aunt Wu."

"We've finally done it."

Li Zhiyan knew that Wu Qingxian had always been worried her age meant she couldn't get pregnant, but now that she was expecting a daughter,

there was no longer any need to worry.

Wu Qingxian's face blushed slightly, indeed they had achieved success after trying for so long.

"Mm, Xiao Yan, let Auntie help you."

Wu Qingxian knew that Li Zhiyan was a man of endless energy, so she had to lend a hand.

...

Much later, Ding Baijie listened to the sound of Li Zhiyan returning to his room and, lying in bed, still couldn't accept everything she had heard that day.

Li Zhiyan was 18, Wu Qingxian 42, her age. They had more than a twenty-year age difference.

Could such an age gap really work between two people?

Remembering Li Zhiyan's earlier attempts to kiss her face, Wu Qingxian realized that he might genuinely want to be with her.

Even though Li Zhiyan was involved with other women, she, being uneducated and incapable, knew that being with Li Zhiyan was definitely reaching above her station...

A multitude of strange thoughts spread through Ding Baijie's mind, and on this eve of the Chinese New Year, she found herself struggling with insomnia.

Meanwhile, Wu Qingxian also fell asleep feeling utterly blissful, knowing that her life ahead now truly had hope.

Although having a child at 42 was a little late,

she was completely capable of doing so, given her current health condition. Although she couldn't marry Li Zhiyan, she was certain that her future days would be very, very happy.

Han Xueying also slept blissfully, worn out by the day's turmoil.

After the incident with Yin Fengxiang, despair followed by activity with Li Zhiyan had left her exhausted, so she slept soundly.

However, at this time, some people were not sleeping.

One was Yin Deli, who was continuously pondering over the day's ludicrous events while also entertaining himself for a while.

Another person who couldn't sleep out of excitement was Yin Fengxiang.

After stealing two hundred thousand in cash, he immediately went to a KTV, ordering three girls to drink and sing with him.

After leaving the Left Bank Garden Community, Yin Fengxiang counted the stolen bag with unwavering certainty, confirming that the amount of money inside was indeed two hundred thousand!

Two hundred thousand in cash meant he could squander money for a very long time!

And he fully understood a principle: money is a man's courage!

With money, a man had boundless confidence!

"Tonight, all three of you, join me, understand!"

Yin Fengxiang, intoxicated by his wealth, already imagined the delightful days ahead.

And the three heavily made-up girls kept calling him affectionately, completely losing himself.

As he continued drinking, a blurry Yin Fengxiang saw several police officers appearing before him.

"Oh, uniform temptation, I like!"

Policeman: "?"

The policemen found themselves at a loss for words; they had never seen a criminal so drunk and delirious.

Due to the large amount involved in the case,

the police immediately continued their investigation of Yin Fengxiang's whereabouts, and for such a malicious incident, it was essential to bring the wrongdoer to justice.

After seeing the handbag, the policeman opened it to collect evidence.

Meanwhile, the cold handcuffs were clamped onto Yin Fengxiang's wrists, initially thinking it was some kind of uniform play.

But when the cold sensation spread from his wrists, he snapped back to reality.

Looking at the stern policemen before him, fear completely overtook him.

"Officer, sir!"

"I was just joking with my mom, the money I took is my mom's!"

He had always believed that the money he stole was his mother's, as it was normal for her to have saved up several hundred thousand over the years.

He was sure his mother would never report it to the police, but now he realized he had gone too far.

"The two hundred thousand belonged to Mister Li's company, save your explanation for the interrogation room!"

"Take him away!"

Yin Fengxiang was now truly scared.

Though a university student and having received a higher education, he knew all too well,

even if not a law major,

that robbing two hundred thousand was a seriously grave offense.

"Mom!"

"I want to see my mom!"

He kept shouting, but it was useless now.

...

The next day, Li Zhiyan woke up and still found yesterday's events a bit crazy.

"Only I, the modern Marquis of Changxin, could handle this."
