The moment Zhang Yiwen saw Chen Haoran, she remembered the embarrassment from yesterday.
Now, many classmates were talking about how she had a deluded crush.
And he actually confessed to his own mother!
Even though she knew her mom would never be with Chen Haoran, her heart felt extremely uncomfortable.
After following Zhao Lihua to the entrance of Xinyuan Grand Hotel, she asked irritably, "Chen Haoran, what are you doing here?"
She originally looked down on Chen Haoran, just toying with him for amusement.
But now, she felt a deep disgust for Chen Haoran.
With his single-parent family's circumstances, she would never consider him in this lifetime.
As for Tang Zixuan, he was merely within the scope of consideration, and that's all there was to it.
"Yiwen, is that how you speak to your classmate?"
Beside her, Zhao Lihua corrected her daughter's attitude.
Zhang Yiwen turned her head away, clearly not wanting to talk to Chen Haoran anymore. She felt there was simply nothing about him that could interest her.
Originally, this clown's pursuit provided her with a sense of accomplishment, but after yesterday...
She no longer wanted to deal with Chen Haoran.
Looking at Zhang Yiwen's back, Zhao Lihua felt a bit helpless. Her daughter had grown up and indeed was difficult to manage.
"Xiao Ran, how did you end up here?"
Zhao Lihua remembered what Chen Haoran mentioned yesterday about the two of them being fated.
Unexpectedly, they had met here.
"Aunt Zhao, I did a project for someone earlier. After contacting them, they told me to come here to get my payment."
According to "System's" prompt, he just needed to come here and wait for President Ma, Ma Yuchen, to collect the money.
"Project? What kind of project?"
Zhao Lihua was somewhat curious.
"Computer programming and such."
After Chen Haoran said this, Zhao Lihua's impression of Chen Haoran plummeted quickly.
She used to think Chen Haoran, due to being from a single-parent family and lacking affection, along with his Oedipus complex and teenage fantasies, was attracted to her.
In Zhao Lihua's heart, Chen Haoran was a pitiful and honest kid.
But now it seemed he was not only childish but also quite scheming.
Why did he say they were fated yesterday?
Probably because he knew she would come to Xinyuan Grand Hotel today.
So he intentionally came here, pretending to be fated, and from the childish talk of computer programming, it was clear he was lying.
A second-tier university student, unable to even manage his studies, let alone do complex computer work.
Coming up with such a lame excuse, he really was no different from a ten-year-old child.
If he was so annoying, there was actually no need for her to think about giving him the cold shoulder.
She could just reject him outright.
Chen Haoran also sensed something from Zhao Lihua's gaze.
Indeed, what he said was a bit too preposterous, something no normal person would believe, yet this was actually the truth.
At that moment, an Audi A6 arrived and stopped at the entrance.
After Tang Zixuan got out of the passenger side,
A woman in a black suit dress with a slightly plump figure emerged from the driver's seat.
This woman's plumpness was just right, definitely not fat.
Her D+ bust and the voluptuous legs in sheer stockings under the short skirt caused Chen Haoran's hormones to race, although she was clearly a woman in her forties, she was really beautiful.
The charm of this mature woman caused Chen Haoran to be slightly stunned.
This woman, she seemed somewhat familiar, yet he couldn't quite remember.
That's right!
Chen Haoran remembered who this voluptuous beauty was.
Tang Zixuan's mother, Luo Yuxin.
No wonder Tang Zixuan is so handsome; he has such a beautiful mom. It's just that I never noticed her in my previous life.
When Tang Zixuan saw Chen Haoran, his face looked somewhat displeased.
Young people are usually in a state where they fear neither heaven nor earth.
So they generally don't hide their emotions.
He had fought with Chen Haoran before and found him extremely annoying.
Now, seeing Chen Haoran again made him even more irritated.
What's this guy doing here?
Luo Yuxin stepped forward and greeted Zhao Lihua.
"Lihua, your daughter is even more beautiful now. I wish she could become my daughter-in-law someday."
Zhao Lihua was somewhat helpless.
"Well, you'll have to get your son to work harder. There's nothing I can do if she doesn't agree."
After that, Luo Yuxin also noticed Chen Haoran standing next to Zhao Lihua.
"Lihua, is this young man your nephew or your cousin?"
In Luo Yuxin's mind, this young man had to be Zhao Lihua's nephew or cousin.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so close to Zhao Lihua.
"No, this is my daughter's classmate, Chen Haoran."
Hearing the name Chen Haoran, Luo Yuxin also became interested.
Looking at the Chen Haoran in front of her, she knew that if he really wanted to be with Zhao Lihua, it basically wasn't going to happen.
Zhao Lihua set a high standard; either handsome or successful in business.
This kid, with average height and looks, definitely wouldn't catch Lihua's eye.
As for career achievements, capable and talented men would always have admirers in this world.
She also liked capable men.
But he was only 18; after graduation, he'd likely earn just a few thousand yuan in salary. What kind of future could that bring?
His only advantage was probably being young.
However, Zhao Lihua would not be with him just because he was young.
A relationship with an age gap, especially one with a whole 23-year difference.
There would be too many issues to face.
An 18-year-old boy and a 41-year-old woman in a relationship, holding hands, kissing, sleeping together.
It all seemed so unrealistic; you could only say that the kid had guts.
"So this is the Chen Haoran who confessed to you. The young man is very brave."
"To actually dare to confess to Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao was a well-known beauty back in the day."
"Xiao Ran, you really have a good eye. Auntie wishes you an early success in winning her over."
Luo Yuxin looked at Chen Haoran as if she really admired him, causing Zhao Lihua's face to warm up a bit.
This woman, why did she bring this up?
Could it be Tang Zixuan who told her?
This would probably become gossip in the circle for many years to come.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"It's about time; let's go inside."
"Almost everyone has arrived."
Luo Yuxin waved to Chen Haoran.
"Well, Chen Haoran, we'll go ahead. Keep it up, Auntie believes you can definitely win over Aunt Zhao!"
Zhao Lihua's cheeks heated up a bit more.
Her impression of Chen Haoran dropped significantly.
She increasingly felt that Chen Haoran had an infatuation complex, wanting to find a woman 23 years his senior to satisfy his fantasies.
To vent the hormones of adolescence.
For this, he even used such childish means to pretend there was a special fate between them.
Chen Haoran nodded slightly. He had just checked; Ma Yuchen hadn't arrived yet.
Let's wait a bit longer.
