Chapter 255 - Four Knights & One Princess (1/2)
"So, you're my Xiao Mey's husband," Fan Bingbing was rubbing her chin thoughtfully as she observed Ye Jie.
"Also, my son!" He Susu chimed in.
"And my nephew," Zhu Qinyang didn't bother staying quiet as well.
Fan Bingbing smiled at them and added, "It's nice meeting you, Ye Jie. It's our first official meeting. I'm Wu Wang's mother, Fan Bingbing. You can address me as however, you like."
"Oh..." Ye Jie was quite surprised to hear her introduction. He really didn't expect Wu Wang's mother to be so... Young? But what Ye Jie liked about her, at first sight, was the fact that Fan Bingbing came to the dinner party in casual clothes. There was hardly any make-up or pretentiousness about her. "It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Wu!" He said politely in a courtly manner.
Fan Bingbing frowned a bit saying, "I didn't expect you to be this formal."
"Calling you auntie will be weirder." Ye Jie retorted receiving a wide grin from Fan Bingbing in return.
"I'm the same age as your aunt here. Don't be too polite." Fan Bingbing told Ye Jie surprising him since he knew that Zhu Qinyang was older than his own mother.
Ye Jie had greeted everyone officially as Zhu Chen and He Susu's son at the party. Since the people were only close family friends. This was the first time Ye Jie had a proper talk with Li Qiao's mother, Li Man and Lin Shen's father Lin Han.
He had heard before from Xu Mey that Wu Wang's mother, Fan Bingbing was a housewife. One could call her a socialite. But Ye Jie didn't find a single resemblance to the type of socialites he had seen in his life. The perfect example would be his own fake 'mother', Zhou Ning.
Fan Bingbing was modest but not servile. She had an elegance to herself while Zhou Ning only held a haughtiness. He used to cringe thinking about socialites but today, his stereotypical belief was shattered.
Also, what surprised him the most was the comfortability level between the older generation. They didn't seem like friends at all. One could literally call them one happy family. There was no doubt that at all. This friendship... This bond was quite rare.
"Ye Jie seems very happy," hearing the comment, Xu Mey turned to see Li Qiao standing behind her.
Xu Mey smiled at him and said, "Of course, he's happy. He's been hiding for too long. And this is the first time, someone is willing to love him so deeply." She stayed quiet for a moment before speaking again, "Qiao Ge!"
