Chapter 161 - Potential Mother-In-Law (1/2)

-President's Office, Vintage Gems-

Xu Mey was engaged in work during the lunch break like a scrupulous person when Qin Hao knocked at the door and craned his neck inside to say, "President Xu, you have a guest."

Before Xu Mey could open her mouth to inquire about the guest, she heard a familiar voice making her stand up abruptly. "Move away and let me walk through." The owner of the voice pushed Qin Hao out of the way and walked inside elegantly.

"Xiao Mey!" Xu Mey just stared at He Jian's mother, Zhu Qinyang whose demeanour took a 180-degree turn, the moment her eyes fell on Xu Mey.

Xu Mey could only smile and wave at Qin Hao who was gaping at the side, to leave. "Auntie Qin-Qin, what a pleasant surprise!" When Xu Mey came forward to hug Zhu Qinyang that's when her eyes caught the figure behind.

Zhu Qinyang noticed Xu Mey's questioning eyes and explained, "I brought Susu here with me. She needs your help with something. Now, I'm very busy. So, Xiao Mey, take care of my favourite sister-in-law and I'll see you some other day."

Xu Mey arched her brows in confusion. "Auntie, you're leaving? Why don't you stay for some tea?"

Zhu Qinyang smiled delighted by and stroked Xu Mey's hair. "Xiao Mey, I would've loved to stay but I have a meeting with the Minister in about 30 minutes. I'm leaving her with you." Xu Mey pursed her lips and nodded.

Then Zhu Qinyang turned to her sister-in-law, He Susu and said, "Su, you can ask her to do anything. Xiao Mey is just like your own daughter, she won't deny you of anything. Okay?" He Susu smiled and nodded at her.

When Zhu Qinyang left the room, a strange silence prevailed around. Xu Mey was struggling inside about how to talk to her 'potential mother-in-law'. Oh, wait! Isn't she the 'actual mother-in-law'? Xu Mey was having a debate inside her mind. No, no… She won't be the 'actual' one until Ye Jie accepts her. For now, she's the 'potential' one.

She sighed inwardly. 'What complicated relationships, I have to deal with. What a hassle.'

Xu Mey cleared her throat and tried to start the conversation. "Why don't you take a seat, Ms-"

"You can call me Auntie Su. I won't mind." He Susu replied with a polite smile.

"Okay… So, Auntie Su, take a seat and be comfortable." After He Susu sat down at the couch, Xu Mey asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Tea will be fine. Thank you!" He Susu replied.

Xu Mey smiled and ordered Qin Hao to send in some tea. While He Susu was looking around, Xu Mey's eyes were trained on her. She was like an elegant, well-bred lady. Beauty was just a single trait of her. Most of all, her personality was something that attracted people to her.

"What can I help you with?" Xu Mey inquired while taking a seat.

"Actually, it's my anniversary next month and I wanted your help with the gift." As soon as those words were said, Xu Mey was dumbstruck by the fact that both Zhu Chen and his wife were so damn in sync.

Her trance was broken when He Susu added, "Sis Qinyang suggested that I should ask you for help. Well, now I know why she said that you can help me."

"Huh?" Xu Mey didn't understand her meaning.

He Susu smiled again and went on, "You're the President of one of the fastest growing Jewelry brands. Obviously, you can help me."
