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

Li Zhiyan said earnestly, "This, it's called 'love me, love my dog'!"

"I like you, so of course I have to care about your parents."

Jiang Xian's heart was very touched, and she gently kissed Li Zhiyan's face.

After that, she turned her phone back on and made a call to her mother.

"Mom."

"You still have the nerve to call me, your dad and I have been looking for you all over the world."

"Where are you now?"

Jiang Xian didn't want her parents to run so far.

"Mom, where are you and dad? I'll come to you."

After confirming their location, Jiang Xian took Li Zhiyan's hand and hailed a cab.

...

Seeing the two elders, Li Zhiyan also couldn't help but feel a bit heartbroken.

When his own grandparents were still alive,

they, too, hunched over collecting scraps around the county town, just to earn a little extra pocket money for him.

Back then, they looked just as unkempt.

"Dad, Mom."

As soon as Jiang Xian approached, the old man reached out to hit her.

"Grandpa, what are you doing!"

Li Zhiyan grabbed his hand. Although he was Jiang Xian's biological father, he wasn't going to allow domestic violence against Auntie Jiang.

"You are the adulterer!"

The old man had been a teacher his entire life, upright and honest, and couldn't stand things like affairs.

Even if it was his own daughter who had an affair, he didn't show any partiality.

Li Zhiyan was a bit stunned. What "adulterer"?

Then he realized what was going on—it seemed Yen Zhengjin had made up some lies.

"I have no daughter like you, you're well over forty,"

"and yet you found such a young adulterer, he could be your son by age."

Jiang Xian was also getting anxious.

"Dad, things aren't like that, Xiao Yan is just a kid, there's nothing between us!"

Li Zhiyan interrupted their conversation.

"Grandpa, Grandma, it's too hot outside, let's go to that coffee shop over there and talk."

"I'll tell you the truth."

Although the elders were furious, seeing Li Zhiyan's polite demeanor, they followed him into the coffee shop.

After the four of them sat down, Jiang Xian, looking at her parents across from her, felt more and more disgusted by Yen Zhengjin's despicable behavior.

Making her parents come out to look for her so late, and they weren't young anymore.

"Grandpa, Grandma,"

"it's like this..."

Li Zhiyan explained the whole story.

The old couple were doubtful, but after Li Zhiyan took out a voice recorder and let them listen to the full recording,

they finally understood the full story.

"Grandpa, Grandma, think about it, you're both of age now, and Yen Zhengjin still made you come out, he never considered you as parents at all."

Both fell silent, realizing that, compared to them, this unrelated young man actually cared more for the two of them.

The old man picked up his hot drink and took a gentle sip.

"I'm sorry, daughter, your dad was also deceived by that beast."

"If your dad weren't so old, I'd definitely go over and beat him up."

Tears also fell from Jiang Xian's eyes. Her once towering father now stooped with a head full of white hair. Even so, he still thought about protecting his daughter.

"Forget it, I no longer acknowledge Yen Zhengjin as my son-in-law."

"Don't think about going back to reconcile with him either."

"From now on, our family will cut ties with him."

Jiang Xian's mother, Li Jianhua, also spoke with a choked voice, "I truly didn't see it before, that Yen Zhengjin was such a beast, humiliating my daughter like that, he really deserves to die."

It was a long while before the three of them calmed down.

"You're running a clothing store now?"

"Yeah, mom and dad, I got some money after the divorce. Although Yen Zhengjin took a large portion, it's enough to run a shop, and I won't have problems maintaining my life in the future, so you two don't need to worry."

Jiang Xian said earnestly.

"Good, that's good, when we get back I'll arrange for someone to introduce you to some prospects."

"And try to find a good son-in-law."

Jiang Xian had no interest in that whatsoever.

"Dad, I don't want to date anyone."

"What are you saying!"

"How can you not want to!"

The old man's temper flared up again.

"You're still young now, if not now then when?

"Who would want you when you're old? If you don't have a partner, how can your mom and I be at ease?"

Jiang Xian knew that her parents were concerned about her, but dating someone was truly the last thing she wanted.

Yen Zhengjin had made her utterly regretful, and only if a man like Li Zhiyan came along would she consider dating.

But he was only 18, and she knew that a relationship with him was impossible.

Then the old man looked over at Li Zhiyan, as if he had thought of something.

"Do you have some kind of relationship with this kid?"

"Your dad isn't inflexible, I can accept a love affair with a 20-year age difference."

"After all, we live in a civilized society, one that is open and free."

"A romance crossing age boundaries is not an extraordinary thing anymore."

Li Zhiyan didn't expect the old man to be so open-minded.

"Dad, don't talk nonsense, Xiao Yan is only 18,"

"and I'm already 41."

"There is a full 23-year gap between Xiao Yan and me, it's impossible for us."

At that moment, the old man felt a sense of disappointment. He thought Li Zhiyan was a very polite young man and gave off a dependable impression.

"Grandpa, I really like Auntie Jiang,"

"It would be wonderful if you supported us,"

Li Zhiyan said, and gently took Jiang Xian's hand, making her blush shyly in front of her parents.
