Chapter 253 - Buy One, Get One (2/2)

"I just knew that you're not a very reliable person." Azalea pouted at his words but couldn't argue since she knew that he was right. She really wasn't the reliable one when it came to secrets. At least, not when it came to others' secrets.

He Jian already knew about the secret while his father, He Kun wasn't very surprised to hear this revelation. He was a military man. He knew how to discern people and somewhere in his heart, he had already assumed this possibility of Ye Jie being his nephew.

"Well, let's have a dinner party since it's mom and dad's anniversary," Azalea's suggestion was quite good and everyone instantly agreed with it.

He Susu held Xu Mey's hand and pulled her in a secluded corner. Xu Mey lowered her face since she was also guilty of keeping this secret. But in her defense, she had to stand by her husband's side at any cost.

"Why aren't you looking at me?" He Susu asked seeing her abnormal behavior of looking at her feet.

"I... I think you're angry with me for keeping this a secret. Also, you must have wanted to choose your son's wife yourself. It's a dream of every mother but you instantly got a daughter-in-law with your son in a package. Like, buy one get one deal. It must be quite weird." Xu Mey kept talking without noticing the cold glare of He Susu. And she didn't stop blabbering until He Susu tapped on her head.

"I considered you to be smart." Xu Mey frowned not understanding the meaning and He Susu continued, "You silly girl, why would I be angry with you for keeping this secret? You kept the secret for your husband since you're obliged to do so. You had no obligations towards us." Xu Mey's frown eased up a bit. "Also, yes I had the wish to choose my own daughter-in-law," Xu Mey felt tensed all over again. "But, even I couldn't have found a better life partner than you for my son."

Xu Mey lifted her eyes to meet He Susu's tender filled ones making a smile bloom on her face. He Susu caressed her cheek saying, "You stood by my son's side and that shows how much he means to you. Why would I interfere when I can see the love between you two?"

"Also, you're his everything and he treats you like his life," Xu Mey heard Zhu Chen's voice as he came to join them. "You're his happiness and us as parents have no right to question his happiness." Zhu Chen placed his hands on He Susu's shoulders from behind as both husband and wife shared a look of perfect understanding.

Xu Mey was glad to hear this. Or perhaps, more than just glad. She thought once to find a mother in her mother-in-law but Zhou Ning treated her like an enemy. But today, she felt the warmth of a mother from her real mother-in-law. Because this was a mother who didn't question her past. Although Xu Mey had remarkable qualities, for He Susu, Xu Mey was right because her son loved her. And that reason was enough for He Susu and Zhu Chen.

"Oh, and did I mention that I like this deal of buying one and getting one free very much?" He Susu looked at Xu Mey surprising her then with a glint she looked at Zhu Chen and added, "Now, that's different, that we'd have loved the deal of buying one and getting two free."

Xu Mey choked on air listening to her suggestive words. While Zhu Chen and He Susu laughed at her reaction. They already found her too cute and now that she was their daughter-in-law, they couldn't help loving her even more.
