I'm Really Divorced from Your Sister

21: An incredible discoveryChapter 21: An Astounding Discovery

Zhao Manman looked at the handsome Li Zhiyan in front of her, and the more she looked, the more she liked him.

How wonderful it would be if Li Zhiyan were her own child…

However, she and he actually shared a mother-son bond.

She still needed to try her best to mediate between him and Da Ting Bao so they could continue living together. He was such a good son-in-law; she truly couldn’t bear to let him go just like that.

Soon, Li Zhiyan’s bowl was filled with many delicious dishes by Zhao Manman.

“That’s enough, Mom, it’s overflowing. I can’t eat any more.”

Li Zhiyan looked at his bowl, which had become a small mountain, and felt a bit helpless.

“Eat slowly.”

Only after seeing that Li Zhiyan truly couldn’t eat anymore did she stop serving him food and began eating herself.

“Xiao Yan, what exactly is your relationship with Su Jinan?”

After a while, Zhao Manman finally asked the question on her mind.

“We had some past connections, I suppose.”

This matter was an absolute secret; besides his other self, absolutely no one else could know.

“Mmm…”

Although Zhao Manman was aloof, she was a smart and perceptive woman who would never press someone about something they didn’t want to discuss.

“However, Mom still needs to give you a few words of advice.”

“When dealing with those kinds of people, it’s easy for us, who have no background, to suffer losses.”

“If you can get Su Jinan to have his secretary handle the matter, resolve it if possible.”

“But whatever you do, don’t cause any trouble. Property isn’t that important in Mom’s heart; you two are the most important.”

Li Zhiyan nodded and didn’t say much.

“I understand.”

He looked at the weather outside, which had become slightly overcast.

Zhao Manman continued, “Xiao Yan, it’s not easy for you to come all this way. This afternoon, let’s go to West Lake to have some fun. There hasn’t been much going on with the business lately; Uncle Ji basically handles everything.”

Li Zhiyan was a little surprised. Zhao Manman had always maintained a very strong elder’s demeanor.

She had never gone out to play with him before. In the past, when he went out with Ji Mengting, she would say that she didn’t interfere with children’s matters.

Today, the sun must have risen from the west.

Since Zhao Manman had said so…

Then he naturally couldn’t refuse.

“Yes, I understand, Mom. We’ll go out to play later.”

After Li Zhiyan agreed, Zhao Manman continued to serve him food.

In reality, she rarely went out to play with her children.

However, she had been in a very bad mood recently because of that incident, and Li Zhiyan had touched her deeply, so she wanted to go out with him to relax.

Li Zhiyan had been to West Lake a few times before.

After all, if one came to Zhejiang and didn’t visit West Lake, it would be a wasted trip.

However, he hadn’t seen many of West Lake’s Ten Scenes.

He had also never taken a boat tour of the lake.

“Mom, let’s take a boat tour of the lake when we get there. It should be very cool on West Lake now.”

“The weather outside is truly a bit too hot.”

“A boat tour right now should be a very pleasant thing.”

Zhao Manman thought about it and agreed. She really needed to relax properly.

“Come, Xiao Yan, eat more of this shrimp.”

...

After finishing their meal, Zhao Manman went to clear the dishes.

Meanwhile, Li Zhiyan received a call from Su Jinan.

He went out into the courtyard, admiring the blooming globe amaranth and oleander.

Li Zhiyan pressed the answer button.

“Mr. Li, the matter has been investigated…

“It was done by my subordinate Hu Yun. He has a deep connection with Zhou Xiyou. I don’t know what happened recently…

“But they were the ones who made trouble for that beauty salon.”

Li Zhiyan said, “That beauty salon is run by my mother-in-law.”

Su Jinan was startled…

This Hu Yun was truly courting death, causing him such trouble.

“Then, I’ll find a place to welcome you later. I’ll call both of them over to apologize. I will make sure you are satisfied.”

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment and said, “I’ll let you know later. I have something to do this afternoon.”

Now that he was here, there was no problem with this matter. The important thing now was to accompany Zhao Manman on a boat tour.

After all, she was especially sincere to him, even willing to let Ji Mengting give him half of her company.

Given her sincerity, he should also try his best to show filial piety.

“Okay… Mr. Li, please rest assured, I will definitely make you satisfied with this matter. Just call me later.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhiyan returned to the villa.

Zhao Manman was putting on her Valentino shoes.

“Xiao Yan, it’s a bit hot. Go upstairs and help Mom get the sunscreen spray. It’s on the table in the bedroom.”

Li Zhiyan responded and went upstairs to Zhao Manman’s room.

The wardrobe was open, and inside were only her clothes.

There was also a pair of black stockings on the sofa. Li Zhiyan’s thoughts were confirmed.

The two of them indeed had a very serious problem, but it was best not to interfere with the elders’ matters.

Picking up the sunscreen spray, Li Zhiyan went downstairs.

“Mom, let me drive today.”

“My driving skills are very good now.”

“It’s too much trouble for you to keep changing into high heels.”

Zhao Manman, whose face was always cold, also smiled slightly, her beauty blossoming.

“Okay, then you drive today.”

The two got into the car.

Li Zhiyan buckled his seatbelt.

And Zhao Manman also buckled her seatbelt. Li Zhiyan looked and understood more and more why seatbelts highlighted one’s figure.

“Mom, let’s go then.”

Opening the navigation app, Li Zhiyan drove off.

The villa was not far from West Lake. Half an hour later, Li Zhiyan found a paid parking lot, parked the Mercedes S-Class, and walked towards West Lake with Zhao Manman.

“Mom, I’ve seen many of West Lake’s Ten Scenes, but unfortunately, I’ve never seen the ‘Lingering Snow on Broken Bridge’.”

“I’ve only seen photos online, never with my own eyes.”

Zhao Manman carried her bag, took out the sunscreen spray, and sprayed it on her face and arms.

“It’s okay, you can always see it if you come here in winter later.”

“Come, Xiao Yan, lower your head.”

The 165cm tall Zhao Manman still seemed very petite in front of Li Zhiyan.

Li Zhiyan lowered his head, feeling the cool mist, and he also felt much cooler.

“Let’s go.”

Patting Li Zhiyan’s face, Zhao Manman led him towards the nearby Yuehu Pier.

They planned to take a boat tour from there.

Although the weather was very hot now, West Lake never lacked tourists.

There were many tourists at the pier renting boats. Usually, a group of a dozen people would gather and set off together.

There were also many food and drinks sold on the boats.

“Mom, I’ve actually wanted to see the scenery on West Lake for a long time, but before, I only saw the lakeside scenery.”

“Today, I want to truly appreciate this scenery, which is equally beautiful whether lightly or heavily adorned.”

The gentle breeze from the lake brought a faint, very fresh scent, which also relaxed Zhao Manman’s tense mood considerably.

She wondered how long it had been since she had truly relaxed.

Li Zhiyan looked towards the pier and saw a somewhat familiar person boarding a boat.

His eyesight was good…

He could tell that the person was Ji Yunhai, and beside him was a woman. The woman was intimately holding his arm, clearly not in an ordinary relationship.

This was truly an astounding discovery!

Li Zhiyan couldn’t understand why Ji Yunhai would find a mistress outside, when his mother-in-law was as beautiful as a celestial being.

What was he thinking…

Li Zhiyan was startled as he saw Zhao Manman about to look towards the pier.

Zhao Manman had already suffered greatly today. He still remembered when he massaged her temples earlier.

She was truly so angry she almost fainted. She placed great importance on morality.

If she were to discover that Ji Yunhai had found a mistress outside…

What would she do? Li Zhiyan couldn’t imagine.

At least for now, he couldn’t let her know. Thinking of this, he respected this elder very much, and now he also had to protect her and prevent her from receiving so many blows in one day.

Li Zhiyan quickly pulled Zhao Manman from behind, stopping her from looking into the distance.

Then he turned around and stood in front of her.

“Mom, wait a moment!”
