Chapter 287 122 A warm moment between mother and child, bought the same pink Samsung for mom_3
"What could you possibly spend over two thousand dollars on?"
Zhou Rongrong found it somewhat incredible, as if her own son who was so good at earning money had never been wasteful or extravagant.
Zhou Rongrong could tell that Li Zhiyan was very disciplined with his money.
He didn't squander his wealth like some nouveau riche.
That's why Zhou Rongrong felt so at ease about her son.
"It's just that he usually likes to buy some branded clothes and stuff."
"If I don't give him the money, he gets angry."
Zhou Rongrong didn't know what to say, her close friend felt morose every day, indeed for a reason.
Having such a son would likely upset anyone.
"It'll get better, the kid is just young."
"Hopefully..."
Wu Qingxian tried to put on a brave smile, her heart growing even fonder of Li Zhiyan.
Unfortunately, another's son is still another's son. He might buy his mother a phone, but he wouldn't buy one for her, and she had no right to expect any gifts from him.
Her birthday was approaching, and it would surely be another lonely night.
...
Having groomed himself, Li Zhiyan was about to leave the house
when he received a call from Shen Rongfei.
"Xiao Yan."
"Are you ready? Auntie will pick you up, and we'll go to the train station."
Because Su Mengchen had trouble walking, Shen Rongfei still decided to drive herself as it would be more convenient.
After they arrived at the train station, finding a paid parking lot to park the car would suffice.
"Okay, you can come over; I'm at Left Bank Garden."
Hearing Left Bank Garden, Shen Rongfei was also somewhat surprised.
"Xiao Yan, did you buy a house at Left Bank Garden?"
Although Left Bank Garden wasn't considered luxury housing, it was a notch above the average residential areas.
She had previously considered buying a 140-square-meter unit there.
But in the end, she chose a larger apartment here.
"Yes, my mom and I have always been renting a place. Living in someone else's house just doesn't feel comfortable, so after I earned some money, I bought a new apartment here."
In the large apartment, Shen Rongfei paced back and forth with her pair of black silk-clad beautiful legs.
As she watched her daughter getting ready with makeup, she felt astounded.
Every time she thought of Li Zhiyan's accomplishments, her heart couldn't stay calm.
In business, Li Zhiyan was truly a natural talent. If he were a second-generation rich kid, then earning enough for a house at 18 would be quite normal, as wealthy families can afford the cost and risk of their children's frivolities.
But Li Zhiyan came from a single-parent family.
Being able to afford a house at 18 was practically a miracle in this day and age, and Shen Rongfei was thoroughly satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.
Moreover, she could genuinely feel that he truly liked her daughter very much. During this trip to Suciity, she definitely had to try her best to create opportunities for her daughter and him.
Perhaps they couldn't establish a relationship immediately, but she had to bring them closer; only then would her own heart be at ease.
"Then, when we're about to arrive, Auntie will call you."
"Okay, mom."
...
After hanging up, Shen Rongfei went to Su Mengchen's bedroom, where Su Mengchen had just finished applying eyeliner.
Already a beauty with a score of nine, she now looked stunningly breathtaking.
However, compared to Shen Rongfei, the gap was considerable; Shen Rongfei was truly too beautiful.
Beauties like Fang Zhiya and Jiang Xian were indeed very pretty, but Shen Rongfei was the beauty among beauties.
Her naturally gorgeous allure was just too compelling...
"Chenchen, you dressed up so beautifully today. It looks like your fondness for Li Zhiyan is quite significant," Shen Rongfei commented.
With flushed cheeks, Su Mengchen shyly lowered her head.
"Mom, do you think he'll like the way I've dressed up?"
Obviously, under Li Zhiyan's persistent conversations, Su Mengchen's defenses had lowered significantly.
"He will for sure. My daughter is so pretty, how could he not like her?"
"And he told mom,"
"He really wants to be with you. Every time he sees me now, he's calling me 'mom'."
"That alone shows how sincere he is in his heart."
Once again, Su Mengchen was so bashful she couldn't utter a word.
"Alright, Chenchen, let's go meet Li Zhiyan."
"Okay..."
With a serious nod, Su Mengchen affirmed.
On the way, she was constantly battling the insecure and timid part of herself.
She had developed the desire to be with Li Zhiyan.
But overcoming oneself was no easy task.
After the Mercedes-Benz S arrived outside the Left Bank Garden community, Shen Rongfei parked the car.
From a distance, she saw the tall and handsome Li Zhiyan running towards them.
"Mom."
Li Zhiyan greeted Shen Rongfei enthusiastically as 'mom.'
In that instant, Su Mengchen, sitting in the back seat, began to blush again.
He loved calling her mother 'mom.'
It was to show his determination to be with her, wasn't it?
"You go sit in the back, next to Chenchen. Let's hit the road."
"Okay."
After Li Zhiyan settled in the seat, Shen Rongfei started driving.
Li Zhiyan glanced at Su Mengchen's outfit for the day; indeed, she had dressed according to his tastes.
JK uniforms with short skirts, that unique youthful charm of a young girl was fully embodied in her.
