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

"Xiao Yan, is the glue almost ready?"

Li Zhiyan looked at the milky white shoe glue and said, "Aunt Shen, you need to be a bit more patient. It still needs to simmer for an hour."

"The current glue might work for sticking ordinary shoes."

"But for high heels with delicate heels like yours, they are definitely going to break."

"You need to be patient."

"Hmm..."

Shen Rongfei nodded her head like a helpless little girl, her beautiful and charming face filled with hope. So many old craftsmen had refused to take her high heels job, so Xiao Yan was her only hope.

"Mom, I feel like your relationship with Uncle Su isn't very good."

While simmering the glue, Li Zhiyan and Shen Rongfei started to chat idly.

Suddenly, Shen Rongfei was caught off guard by his words...Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This kid, does he know about her and Su Yu's relationship? But she had never mentioned Su Yu to him before.

"How did you know?"

"Maybe it's just a feeling. I've never heard you mention Uncle Su, and couples usually travel together during the National Day holiday."

"But today, you're out alone."

The words of Li Zhiyan left Shen Rongfei somewhat silent.

Li Zhiyan's presumption was very reasonable and basically in line with the truth...

Her relationship with her husband indeed couldn't be considered good.

Although they treated each other with respect, that conflict was irreconcilable. How could her heart not harbor resentment?

"There have been some conflicts between Uncle Su and me."

"These conflicts have lasted a full eighteen years."

Thinking of that incident in the maternity room, Shen Rongfei felt a tremendous pain in her heart. She shouldn't have let him insist on being in the delivery room with her in the first place.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

The dutiful Li Zhiyan wanted to be Shen Rongfei's confidant, knowing that some things, if buried in the heart for too long, are not good. They can eventually lead to an unbearable level of repression.

It's best to talk about them.

Seeing Shen Rongfei hesitant to speak further, Li Zhiyan continued, "Mom, in front of you, I'm just a child. So you can actually tell me. It's unhealthy to keep things bottled up inside."

Listening to Li Zhiyan's words, Shen Rongfei couldn't help but feel an urge to pour out her heart.

Today, her emotions were erratic, and she hadn't thought too much about it.

She then gave Li Zhiyan a rough recount of the incident in the delivery room.

"After coming out of the delivery room, Uncle Su became completely distant from me."

"For many years, it really has been just a respectful relationship."

"Perhaps you think 'respectful relationship' is just an idiom from the books."

"But in reality..."

"This idiom truly exists."

"Uncle Su and I have that kind of respectful relationship."

As she spoke, she lowered her head. The beautiful and charming face now lacked its usual aura, replaced by sadness and sorrow.

Li Zhiyan truly understood Shen Rongfei's feelings.

"Mom, have you ever considered that Uncle Su might have someone on the side?"

The conversation had come to this point.

Li Zhiyan decided to seize the opportunity to discuss this issue with Shen Rongfei.

No matter what, first make her feel a sense of crisis and keep her guard up.

"Someone on the side, that's unlikely..."

Shen Rongfei had never thought about this before, but after Li Zhiyan's remark,

her inner doubts rose completely, as if suddenly awakened.

It seemed, not an impossible scenario.

"Aunt Shen, I feel that anything could happen in this world."

"You still need to be careful."

Li Zhiyan thought it was best to give Aunt Shen some psychological hints, at least to make her vigilant.

Then when he got back to Wancheng, he could show her the video, and she would be much more willing to accept it.

"After all, it's better to be safe than sorry."

"I don't want to see you get hurt one day. You are the most important person to me in this world."

Although Li Zhiyan's words seemed a bit extravagant, Shen Rongfei felt his sincerity.

Continue your journey on empire

It even gave her the illusion that Li Zhiyan might have been her own son in a past life.

That's why he was so close to her, calling her 'mom' so naturally.

"I understand..."

"I will think it over, but you don't need to worry."

"Even if he has really betrayed me, I'm not that fragile."

Li Zhiyan clearly understood that Shen Rongfei was extremely strong-willed and robust, somewhat similar to Gu Wanzhou...

In his previous life, Aunt Shen's suicide was due to the complete collapse of her two main supports: her daughter and husband.

In this life, as long as he took good care of Chenchen, Aunt Shen would definitely not end up taking that same old path.

"That's good, Mom. Anyway, I will protect you in the future."

"Xiao Yan, I have this strange feeling."

"It's like you were my son in a past life."

Li Zhiyan nodded.

"I feel the same. When I see you, I feel a warmth that makes me think you might have been my real mom in a past life, and I was your son. That's why in this life, upon seeing you, I wanted to call you 'mom'."

Shen Rongfei's eyes brimmed with warmth and laughter.

Time flew by, and the shoe glue in the iron pot continued to reduce.

Once it reached the concentration Li Zhiyan needed, he collected the scalding hot glue into a container.

Soon, this hot glue would be on his mother-in-law's high heels.

To stick them firmly together.
