Chapter 201 My Mother Was a Heartthrob in the 1980s
"What bad luck! If it weren't for my second sister-in-law delaying us by a day, we wouldn't have missed seeing them at all."
Li Rui looked annoyed; the person had left in just one day.
"What's there to regret? We came here to see your older brother's son. Once we know which school he's in, we're not afraid of not finding him."
Mrs. Li replied expressionlessly.
"Well, my brother's son does quite well academically. He managed to get into A University despite growing up in this environment."
Li Rui sighed in surprise.
"What's so surprising? Your brother's kid has such excellent genes, it would be strange if he didn't get into college."
Li's mother looked very proud. Her eldest son was good in every way, except that he had a minor accident when he was young, which left him with a slight flaw.
"Okay, okay, I know that in your heart, Mom, my eldest brother is the one you love the most."
Li Rui pouted and said helplessly.
"You little rascal, what's wrong? Are you jealous of your older brother?"
"No, I wouldn't dare to be jealous of my elder brother."
Li Rui smiled mischievously and laughed it off.
After all, in the Li family, the eldest brother is the one with the highest status.
"Come on, stop fooling around. Let's go back to City A. This time, we'll invite your older brother to come along."
After failing to find the person, Li's mother and Li Rui returned home, while someone else in Haishi was still feeling frustrated.
"Uncle, what's wrong? Why do you look so dejected?"
Director Zhang's nephew, Wang Chengyu, asked curiously.
"Hey, stop talking about it. The actress I was looking for has just left, and I don't even know where she went. I should have been shameless enough to confirm it yesterday."
Director Zhang sighed in frustration. What bad luck! He had finally found such a perfect leading lady.
It turns out that this was the first time Director Zhang had been fully responsible for the script from the very beginning, which is why he was so meticulous.
"They're gone? What a coincidence! But I might know where they went."
Wang Chengyu thought for a moment and continued.
"You know? Where?"
Upon hearing that there was another clue, Director Zhang quickly reached out and grabbed Wang Chengyu, looking very nervous.
"Hey, hey, hey, Uncle, why are you in such a hurry? If my mom sees this, she'll think I've bullied you."
Wang Chengyu spoke in an annoyed tone.
"Stop joking around and tell me quickly, it's urgent."
Director Zhang was extremely anxious when he thought about the start date of filming.
"Okay, okay, Uncle, let go first. You're holding me so tightly, I can't breathe."
Upon hearing Wang Chengyu's words, Director Zhang awkwardly released his hand.
"Cough, cough, I can finally breathe normally again."
Wang Chengyu loosened his collar and continued speaking.
"Si Qingzhou is studying at University A. I reckon he must have taken his mother with him to City A."
Wang Chengyu pondered for a moment before speaking.
"City A? That's perfect, our filming location is in City A. But with so many students at University A, how are we going to find them?"
Director Zhang was clapping happily, but when he thought about how difficult it was to find a needle in a haystack, he couldn't help but feel troubled.
"What's the big deal? I know what Qingzhou is studying. I also need to go to school early, so let's go together this time. I'll go with you. I also want to see how beautiful Qingzhou's mother is."
Wang Chengyu muttered to himself.
Could a middle-aged woman possibly be prettier than the most beautiful girl in the film academy?
Little did Wang Chengyu know that when he met Si Yan, his fawning behavior was so blatant that even Director Zhang couldn't stand it.
Meanwhile, Si Yan and her son, whom these people are concerned about, are currently setting up their things in a rented house off-campus.
"Mom, you take a rest, I'll take care of everything."
Si Qingzhou, who had just finished mopping the floor, saw Si Yan holding a rag and preparing to wipe the table, and quickly spoke up to stop her.
"It's just wiping a table, how tiring can it be?"
Si Yan chuckled softly.
"No, Mom, you should rest. I promised you'd have a good life. I can't afford a nice house for you right now, but I'll definitely take care of all the housework."
Si Qingzhou took the rag from Si Yan's hand and smiled happily.
Little did he know that Lin Gang, who was spying on them from the outside, had seen all of this.
Lin Gang happened to be someone at school who didn't get along with Si Qingzhou.
"Great, now I've finally caught you red-handed. You're only a freshman and you dare to rent a place outside to keep a woman. Let's see if the professor will still give Si Qingzhou a good look now."
Lin Gang looked at Si Qingzhou, who was smiling broadly, and felt very smug.
Lin Gang still felt it was a pity that he didn't see Si Yan's appearance, after all, he was also very curious about what the woman Si Qingzhou was keeping outside looked like.
Inside the house, Si Qingzhou was unaware that trouble was about to come knocking.
But before that, he planned to treat everyone in his dorm to a meal, since he was able to rent the apartment thanks to them.
It's not easy to rent a ground-floor apartment with a yard near University A, let alone at such a cheap price.
Si Yan was also curious about it.
"Qingzhou, is it your classmate who rented this house to us? This house is so nice, it doesn't look like it's meant to be rented out."
Si Yan looked at the surrounding decor and sighed softly.
"It's Qiangzi's empty house. It's never been rented out, but no one has lived there for a long time."
Si Qingzhou replied casually as she made the bed.
"Then you have to treat them to a meal, right? No one has lived here before, and this isn't a place you can just rent anywhere."
Si Yan said softly.
"Mom, don't worry. Do you think your son doesn't understand these social niceties? I've already arranged the dinner, it's tonight."
As they were talking, Si Qingzhou looked up at the clock on the wall and saw that it was only one o'clock in the afternoon, so she continued.
"It's still early, and the restaurant is nearby. We can leave at five o'clock and still make it. They're all experts at timing things perfectly. We agreed to meet at six o'clock."
"Then Mom, change your clothes."
Upon hearing this, Si Yan got up and prepared to go back to her room to change her clothes, but was unexpectedly stopped by Si Qingzhou.
"Mom, no need to change. It's just a home-cooked meal. My roommates are all here, and they're all very nice. I think this outfit is fine for you."
Si Qingzhou subconsciously didn't want Si Yan to dress too beautifully, mainly because he knew his group of friends too well. What if they developed lustful thoughts about his mother?
After all, Mom is just too beautiful.
Even now, when Si Qingzhou thinks of Si Yan's face, he can't help but feel dazed.
Little did he know that he had underestimated Si Yan's beauty. After seeing Si Yan, all of his roommates actually wanted to be his stepfather.
But that's a story for later. Right now, Si Qingzhou is busy working. After all, she'll be staying here permanently, so she needs to clean it up properly.
Lin Gang, who had been spying on Si Qingzhou, has now returned to school. Instead of telling the professor, he told An Xiaoyu, who has always admired Si Qingzhou, about Si Qingzhou renting a house outside to support a woman.
"What? Impossible! Lin Gang, you must be mistaken. Qingzhou would never do such a thing."
An Xiaoyu frowned and retorted.
"If it's a misunderstanding, why don't you go and see for yourself? I saw it clearly; Si Qingzhou was smiling so happily at that woman."
Lin Gang said meaningfully.
"Fine, I'll see. I don't believe it. Give me the address, I'll go myself."
Out of consideration for Si Qingzhou's feelings, An Xiaoyu decided to go herself.
"Here, I've written the address for you."
An Xiaoyu pursed her lips, took the note, and stormed off.
That's not enough. I need to call more people. It's more fun when there are lots of people watching.
Lin Gang watched An Xiaoyu's retreating figure and chuckled softly.
