Chapter 20 - Meeting the mother-in-law (1/2)

Ten minutes after Lei Zhao dropped Yan Mei off at the company, his mother called him. Lei Zhao sat on his desk, holding the phone in one hand and a pen in the other, looking through doc.u.ments that Ye Xing submitted.

Looking at the caller's ID on the phone screen, he blinked and smiled slightly.

”Hello mom. Is there something wrong?”

Lei Xiao Tong smiled and said, ”Lei Zhao, I am at Yan Mei's company. Did she come to work today? I have been waiting for her for almost an hour, but I don't see her.” Lei Xiao Tong's sweet voice filled with joy and impatience undisguisedly passed through Lei Zhao's ears. He rubbed his temples.

”Mom. Why did you go to her company to find her? Didn't I tell you that I would bring her home for dinner in three days? If you suddenly appear like this, she will be terrified,” Lei Zhao said helplessly.

He knew that his little temptress was nervous about meeting his mother from her body language. Every time he talked about meeting his mother, her expression would change. If she saw her mother-in-law today, he didn't know how she would react.

”No, no!” Lei Xiao Tong retorted immediately.

” I'm not a bad mother-in-law. I just came to see my daughter-in-law. I wandered in the mall for a long time yesterday, trying to find the perfect gift to give her. I didn't know what to buy, after all, my daughter-in-law doesn't lack money. So, I have decided to give her our family heirloom. Your grandmother said that it should be passed on to your wife. What do you think? Also, I have been having sleepless nights thinking about my daughter-in-law. The internet is full of bullying, calling her all sorts of names. Who dares to call my daughter-in-law a devil! Just because she is a woman in the business world, they want to bully her. I want her to know that she has a mother now supporting her.”

Lei Zhao raised his brows helplessly. He knew his mother was anxious to see her daughter-in-law and once his mother wanted to do something, no one could change her mind.

”Mom, she came to work. I dropped her off, but she didn't pass through the entrance. I think she used her private elevator or she has her own passage. So, go to the front desk to ask for her. Don't scare her mom.”

”I know. Bye!” Lei Xiao Tong hurriedly hung up the call.

Lei Xiao Tong walked to the elevator with her bag in hand. She was anxious to meet her daughter-in-law. The more her son tried to protect her, the more curious she was. Taking the elevator to the 15th floor, she met Su Mei sitting outside Yan Mei's office.

Because Lei Xiao Tong was curious about her daughter-in-law, she did her own investigations about her. Sadly, she couldn't find anything about her past. As a famous but lowkey scientist and the daughter of the Ying family, one of the top three families in S city, if she couldn't find anything on the past of her daughter-in-law, that means that her daughter-in-law was a very powerful person or she didn't exist all these years.

Lei Xiao Tong didn't know if Yan Mei was an enemy or a friend. That is why she was curious to meet her.

Su Bei was working attentively on doc.u.ments, when all of a sudden a faint fragrance hit her nose. She remembered the smell. It was the latest perfume released by Rosy fragrance, the leading perfume company in the country. She always wanted one, but she did dare buy one because of how expensive it was.

She lifted her head and the beautiful and refined face of Lei Xiao Tong appeared. Su Bei looked at the lady in front of her in surprise. Even though she couldn't see the brands of the clothes she was wearing, Su Bei knew this woman was not an ordinary person. She was elegant from the way she carried herself and she looked like some in her thirties, but Su Bei knew that she was older than that.

”Hello. How may I help you,” Su Bei asked politely.

”I want to see President Yan. Is she available?”

”Do you have an appointment madam?” Lei Xiao tong was a little embarrassed. How could she forget such a thing? Just as Lei Xiao tong was about to answer, Yan Mei came out of her office.

”President Yan,” Su Bei greeted respectfully. Because someone was here, she didn't want to disrespect  Yan Mei. Yan Mei nodded.

”How are you?” Yan Mei asked softly.
