Chapter 253: Episode 115: Stopping Yen Zhengjin from Smashing the Shop, The Madness of Xiaowu and Jiang Xian

The woman before him was indeed the mother who gave birth to him and raised him.

However, at this moment, Zhang Honglei was more concerned about his own face.

In his heart, there was nothing more important than face.

After all, he had worked so hard for so long to maintain the image of a rich young master.

It couldn't be ruined no matter what.

As long as his mother hadn't yet revealed she was his mother, there was still time.

Then he stood up with considerable presence.

"Let's talk outside."

That demeanor, as if talking to a stranger, made Wu Qingxian's heart uncomfortably sour.

Nevertheless, she stepped outside the classroom.

After Zhang Honglei came out, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, nobody discovered she was his mother.

"Mom, where's the money?"

No sooner had he come out than Zhang Honglei was asking about money, completely unconcerned and indifferent to questions like whether his mom felt hot or why she had come here.

"Here you go."

Taking out an envelope, she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

At that moment, Zhang Honglei also noticed Li Zhiyan standing behind Wu Qingxian, which startled him.

What was Li Zhiyan doing appearing so suddenly?

Why was he standing so close to his own mother?

If he exposed him, would he completely lose his image as a rich young master in the eyes of his classmates?

However, it seemed Li Zhiyan wasn't interested in exposing him, which allowed Zhang Honglei to fully relax.

After taking the envelope, Zhang Honglei seemed to lose even the inclination to talk to Wu Qingxian.

"Thanks, Mom, you should get back to work."

After mumbling the words, he swaggered back to the classroom with the envelope.

"Yes, son, call me Mom and make me happy."

"Just indulge your fantasy for a moment."

Normally, Li Zhiyan was unwilling to joke around with Wu Qingxian.

But Wu Auntie's mood was obviously not good right now.

So he called out, "Mom."

"Ah, good son."

Wu Qingxian grasped Li Zhiyan's hand, her thoughts drifting to the disdainful look her own son had given her when he saw her qipao earlier.

He obviously disdained her for wearing old clothes and embarrassing him.

After walking hand in hand to the electric scooter,

Wu Qingxian touched Li Zhiyan's face.

"Son, don't escort me any further; your mom is going back now. Make sure you study hard at school, okay?"

"I understand, Wu Auntie."

Li Zhiyan could joke and call her "Mom" for a moment, but he feared Wu Auntie might take it too seriously.

If that happened, things could get complicated later on.

Although he quite liked calling Aunt Fang "Mom" and would do so in the bedroom, it was because Aunt Fang was joking with him.

But Wu Auntie really wanted to recognize him as her godson...

"All right, give your mom a hug."

Wu Qingxian, somewhat reluctant to part with Li Zhiyan, opened her arms.

Li Zhiyan bowed his head and gave Wu Auntie a tight hug, feeling her embrace.

He whispered softly, "Wu Auntie, don't worry too much."

"I'll come to spend time with you often."

"Okay, good son."

After kissing Li Zhiyan's face, leaving a lipstick mark, she considered they were at school,

and helped Li Zhiyan wipe off the mark.
