Reborn: Instead of Chasing the School Beauty, I Chased Her Mother - Chapter 31
Chapter 31: 031 Does Li Zhiyan have an Audi A6 at home?
After getting his image completely sorted out,
Rao Shi Yun looked at herself in the mirror, and only when she was satisfied did she stand up and leave the house.
Her son, it seemed, didn’t get along well with Li Zhiyan, but with her son not at home, it spared her a lot of trouble.
…
Li Zhiyan and his buddies continued to grind the Sky City dungeon in the gaming cafe.
Li Shiyu had been quite enthusiastic these past few days; he was planning to level up all five of his alternate accounts.
With nothing better to do, Li Zhiyan kept him company in grinding levels, while waiting for Rao Shi Yun to pick him up.
But instead of Auntie Rao showing up, Li Zhiyan heard a somewhat familiar voice.
It was the class monitor, Liu Yaolong, whose sarcastic tone could be recognized from miles away.
“Wang Xinyue, really, you don’t need to bother with that loser Li Shiyu anymore. He uses some crappy second-hand phone with a broken screen and hangs around that loser Li Zhiyan every day.”
“A pair of losers, always knowing nothing but to play games in the internet cafe. Isn’t this just embarrassing? If you stay with Li Shiyu, forget about having any good days ahead.”
“Give it a few days, I’ll ask my dad to bring over his Audi A4. I’ll take you for a spin; I’ve already got my driver’s license.”
Li Shiyu was a bit stunned, damn it.
He was just playing a game and could hear Liu Yaolong dissing him.
Li Zhiyan was also somewhat speechless; he was truly an innocent bystander getting shot.
Young people can be so senseless, pretending to be something they’re not, saying low-level things.
If this were before his rebirth, he would have definitely gotten into a fight with him.
The class monitor, Wang Xinyue, and a few other classmates that Li Zhiyan didn’t recognize had just come in, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Liu Yaolong did not expect to run into these two just as he entered the internet cafe, while he was dissing them.
He had intended to show off in front of Wang Xinyue today.
He didn’t expect to encounter the very people he was talking about right at the entrance.
After a few seconds of awkward atmosphere, Wang Xinyue said with a smile, “The class monitor didn’t mean that, we are all losers here, not insulting anyone.”
The term “loser” doesn’t really count as an insult nowadays.
Back in 2010, the Baidu forums were exceptionally popular!
Baidu hadn’t become the lesser brother it was later on.
And among the forums, the Emperor Bar was extremely popular across the entire internet.
The friends from the forum liked to call themselves the original losers.
Li Zhiyan used to like calling himself that too.
However, when this word comes out from someone else’s mouth, it’s obviously an insult.
“Enough already, the class monitor has always been this cheap-mouthed, I’m used to it.”
Li Shiyu had become a lot bolder since he’d been to the bath center, and he didn’t feel like fawning over Wang Xinyue anymore.
It’s the masseuse sisters who could have a heart-to-heart!
“But yes, I am a loser, I admit it. But Brother Yan, a loser? Do you even deserve to compare yourself with Brother Yan?”
“Liu Yaolong, you don’t think you’re on the same level as Brother Yan, do you?”
“What’s your worth?”
Since Liu Yaolong was being so blatantly offensive, Li Shiyu naturally wasn’t going to be a pushover.
Li Zhiyan looked across, ready to clean them up if they were looking for a fight.
In these wild times, if they wanted to be wild, he would be wilder!
Seeing the tension rise on both sides, Wang Xinyue became worried that a fight might break out. Everyone was an adult now, and there was no longer the get-out-of-jail-free card of being a minor. If a real fight occurred, they’d be taken to the police station.
They were all classmates, and it would be bad if things escalated to that point.
She then spoke up, trying to mediate the situation.
Liu Yaolong and his mates powered on their computers and moved to the other side. Although Liu Yaolong’s face showed he was a bit upset, he still held back.
After reaching adulthood, indeed, one should not engage in fights recklessly.
There used to be a time when he fought with Li Zhiyan because Li Zhiyan refused to clean the toilets on his command.
Despite his height of 1.83 meters, he didn’t gain much of an advantage.
Liu Zifeng had even ganged up on Li Zhiyan before.
But Li Zhiyan and Li Shiyu just grabbed Liu Zifeng and beat him hard by themselves.
Even after taking dozens of punches, they firmly held onto Liu Zifeng without letting go.
Watching these brothers fight really intimidated him, and even though he brought a few people over, if a fight really broke out, the two of them would definitely single him out for a beating.
Wang Xinyue gave him a way out.
So he took it.
“So childish.”
“Look at him, still wanting to fight. He’s a grown man, he should be more mature. What kind of future can someone have behaving like a child all the time? In this society, what matters for a man is having money.”
Seeing Liu Yaolong back down, Li Zhiyan didn’t bother with him either and continued playing his game.
As for those childish remarks,
he was used to them. When he was younger, he was actually much more childish than that.
After all, he used to always talk about his dream of becoming a millionaire.
Meanwhile, Wang Xinyue’s gaze occasionally stealthily shifted to Li Zhiyan.
She always felt that the current Li Zhiyan was somewhat different from before, but couldn’t quite put her finger on what exactly had changed.
What did Li Shiyu mean when he said Liu Yaolong wasn’t fit to compare with Li Zhiyan?
Before long, Rao Shiyun’s Audi A6 stopped at the entrance of the internet café, and she honked the horn.
She didn’t get out of the car; she wasn’t too fond of such places, as they tended to be the gathering spots of wayward youths.
She was quite averse to people frequenting internet cafes.
Of course, Li Zhiyan was the exception; that kid came to the internet café to self-learn programming!
“Li Shiyu, log off my computer when you leave,” she said.
After quitting QQ and logging out of the game, Li Zhiyan finally left the internet café. The system in the café at that time,
if not rebooted, would keep the next user logged into QQ and the games, all still online.
Li Zhiyan had experienced the tragedy of having his hard-earned sergeant rank and his AN94 gun destroyed.
“Okay.”
Watching Li Zhiyan open the passenger door of the Audi A6,
Li Shiyu felt a surge of smug satisfaction!
He figured that this was probably to hire Brother Yan as a French translator!
It’s great to be talented!
He had been harboring some resentment, but now he felt his spirits lift, his annoyance blown away!
Liu Yaolong also saw with his own eyes Li Zhiyan getting into a black Audi A6.
His brain was in a bit of a daze.
Wasn’t Li Zhiyan just a loser? How come he was now in an Audi A6!
His own dad only drove an Audi A4!
Just a moment ago he was showing off with an Audi A4, saying that what matters for a man is having money.
But in the blink of an eye, the boomerang he threw came back to hit him, striking him right in the throat.
Wang Xinyue lost interest in the computer dance game as well; she had truly never imagined that Li Zhiyan’s mode of transportation would be an Audi A6.
Did his family really own this car?
When Li Zhiyan opened the door, Wang Xinyue saw a beautiful woman wearing sunglasses, who must be Li Zhiyan’s mother!
Could he be a hidden rich second generation?
This car was way more prestigious than any Audi A4.
It seemed that Li Shiyu knew something, from the disdainful tone, he spoke with earlier.
Clearly, he believed Liu Yaolong stood no chance against Li Zhiyan.
This Audi A6 clearly belonged to Li Zhiyan.
In 2010, a regular family typically didn’t own a car at all, an A6 posed a significant psychological impact on Wang Xinyue.
It looked like Li Shiyu knew something.
