Starting Off By Confessing To My Classmate's Mother

When Li Zhiyan entered the private room, most of the guests had already arrived.

With the exception of Liu Yan, there were eleven people in total.

"Where is Liu? Isn't he coming?"

"His business has been expanding; he's upgraded to an S-Class Mercedes now."

"No rush. He should be here soon."

"Hey, President Gu, I heard there's an 18-year-old boy in your daughter's class who confessed to you. Is that true?"

Rao Shiyun chuckled, joining in, "Oh, it's true! Our beautiful Gu just keeps getting more captivating. Even at 41, she can still attract teenage boys! Zhang, looks like you've got more competition than you thought."

Though she was 41, Gu Wanzhou was stunning.

Like Rao Shiyun, she was pursued by many admirers well into her middle age.

Some even said they'd leave their families just to be with her.

After all, beauties of her caliber weren't easy to find.

Zhang Hongbin laughed, taking it lightly.

"Just a kid. President Gu shouldn't take it too seriously."

"Everyone has a few teenage fantasies. Once his excitement dies down, he'll move on."

Liu Zifeng sat down, pouring himself a glass of Sprite.

"I think that Li Zhiyan is just a pervert. Useless, with a messed-up crush. That's the only reason he confessed to Aunt Gu."

"A complete waste of space."

The young have a tendency to speak impulsively, without filter.

"Xiaofeng, don't talk about your classmate like that!"

After his mother's scolding, Liu Zifeng quickly shut his mouth.

He still had a healthy respect for his beautiful mom—a respect instilled since childhood.

"Everyone has their own dreams when they're young. But to go for an older woman and boldly confess? Few have the guts for that. You've got to give him that."

Yu Sisi's face soured at the mention of Li Zhiyan.

Every time she heard about him now, she'd recall how he confessed to her mother.

Gu Wanzhou kept silent, her impression of Li Zhiyan sinking even lower. She was certain that all he wanted was to sleep with her.

Today's immature tactics made her like him even less.

Although a part of her still pitied him.

...

Outside, the hot weather was wearing on Li Zhiyan as he waited for Liu Yan to show up.

"Is this guy ever coming? My fifty thousand yuan is waiting!"

The sky had started to darken, but the sweltering July heat was still unbearable.

After waiting a bit longer, he grew impatient.

He wondered if there was a back entrance to the hotel. If Liu Yan had entered through it, he'd be waiting in the 999 suite by now. Better to check it out than risk missing him.

With that, he took the elevator to the third floor and headed for suite 999.

When he opened the door, eleven pairs of eyes turned to look at him, each wearing a curious expression.

Most of the people didn't recognize him.

But Gu Wanzhou looked at him with evident displeasure, certain now that he was only here for her.

So much for his so-called "project." An 18-year-old high schooler doing computer programming? Absurd.

"What are you doing here…"

Liu Zifeng started to dismiss him but stopped as his mother tapped his shoulder.

Startled, he held his tongue.

"The person I'm waiting for hasn't arrived, so I came to check if Liu was here."

Gu Wanzhou's face grew even colder; this boy's behavior was seriously immature.

Zhang Hongbin's wariness faded as he looked at Li Zhiyan.

If the kid had been a strikingly handsome young man, he might have worried about Gu Wanzhou's resolve.

But with his average looks, he posed no threat to a woman of her standards.

"Alright, alright. It's too hot outside, and we're just starting. Come, sit down and have something to eat."

"Li Zhiyan," Rao Shiyun teased with a hint of amusement, "there are plenty of open seats. Where would you like to sit?"

She admired his boldness—he was the first to confess to a classmate's mother in front of the whole class.

Without saying a word, Li Zhiyan moved over to sit beside Gu Wanzhou.

"I want to sit with Aunt Gu."

It wasn't just sentimentality; she was the only person he knew here.

Liu Zifeng was his enemy, and he didn't care to deal with Yu Sisi either.

"Haha, I knew it. You just want to sit with the woman you like. Talk with her, and do your best to win her heart! With a figure like hers, it's a waste to have no one by her side."

Zhang Hongbin's face darkened slightly. He was well acquainted with this woman, but she had never supported him this much.

Still, he reasoned that he was in his forties and shouldn't lower himself to the level of a teenager.

If he acted petty, he knew that Gu Wanzhou would never take him seriously.

Sitting beside her, Li Zhiyan sensed that she didn't want to speak to him.

So that was his ultimate goal, wasn't it? Just an excuse to get close to her—so juvenile.

"Aunt Gu, what a coincidence running into you. I didn't expect to come to pick up my money and see you here."

Feeling a bit hungry, he grabbed a pair of new chopsticks and took a few bites.

The more he glanced at Liu Zifeng's mom, the more attractive she seemed. That well-proportioned figure—anyone who knew beauty would understand.

Why hadn't he noticed how stunning his classmates' moms were in his past life?

"Yes, quite the coincidence."

At that moment, Gu Wanzhou decided she'd delete him from her QQ. This boy was anything but innocent.

Hearing the coolness in her tone, a pang of disappointment tugged at Li Zhiyan's heart.

Did Aunt Gu hate him now?

His expression didn't escape her notice, and it only made her feel more annoyed.

What was he trying to do—act pitiful? Wasn't it clear he just wanted to relieve his hormones by trying his "little horse pulling a big cart" fantasy?

At that moment, Liu Yan entered the room.

Everyone enthusiastically greeted him, "President Liu! We've been waiting for you forever!"

"President Liu, is that S-Class outside yours? It's way cooler than our 56E. You've leveled up."

Liu Yan smiled, returning everyone's greetings.

Then he turned to Li Zhiyan, "Young man, here's the fifty thousand yuan we agreed on. Take it."

Liu Yan handed over two thick envelopes, each stuffed with hundred-yuan bills.

Li Zhiyan was taken aback—cash? In 2010, cash was still the standard.

After setting up online banking, he had expected a transfer, but Liu Yan had brought him cold, hard cash instead.

Everyone looked at Liu Yan in surprise.

"President Liu, you know this young man?"

"Of course. I'll tell you, everyone, though he's only 18, this young man is a true genius."

"If it weren't for him, my company would have been in serious trouble."
