Ten minutes after Lei Zhao dropped Yan i 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 docunts that Ye Xing submitted.
Looking at the caller's ID on the phone screen, he blinked and smiled slightly.
"Hello mom. Is there sothing wrong?"
Lei Xiao Tong smiled and said, "Lei Zhao, I am at Yan i's company. Did she co 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 ho 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 eting his mother from her body language. Every ti he talked about eting 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 imdiately.
" I'm not a bad mother-in-law. I just ca to see my daughter-in-law. I wandered in the mall for a long ti 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 nas. 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 sothing, no one could change her mind.
"Mom, she ca 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 et 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 t Su i sitting outside Yan i'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 ans 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 i was an enemy or a friend. That is why she was curious to et her.
Su Bei was working attentively on docunts, when all of a sudden a faint fragrance hit her nose. She rembered the sll. It was the latest perfu released by Rosy fragrance, the leading perfu 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 so 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 appointnt 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 i ca out of her office.
"President Yan," Su Bei greeted respectfully. Because soone was here, she didn't want to disrespect Yan i. Yan i nodded.
"How are you?" Yan i asked softly.
Su Bei smiled and replied, "I'm fine."
Yan i turned when she felt soone gazing at her. She saw a woman staring at her, her eyes contained different emotions: shock, admiration, curiosity, and happiness. Seeing the ambiguous look in the woman's eyes, Yan i felt inexplicably strange.
"Madam, are you okay?" Yan i would have normally ignored such a person, but today her instincts told her not to. Lei Xiao Tong looked at Yan i and she was satisfied at the mont. She just smiled, didn't answer, and took a step forward.
Yan i stepped back, a cold light passed through her eyes. "What do you want?"
At this ti, Lei Xiao Tong looked at Yan i's cold deanor and felt more satisfied. If a woman wanted to be with her son, she must be strong and know how to protect herself. If not, she would drag her son behind, or even worse, fall for other people's sches. A woman must know how to fight for her man and she was sure her daughter-in-law would not disappoint her.
She took Yan i's hands and said, "Xiaoi, I'm Lei Zhao's mother. I learned that you worked here, so I ca to visit you."
Yan i suddenly opened her mouth and her whole body fell into a state of shock. She snapped out of it when she felt sothing on her wrist. She saw a green glass-type jade bracelet on her wrist. From the looks of it, it looked like a family heirloom.
"It looks so beautiful and it fits perfectly on your wrist. This ans you're destined to be my daughter-in-law," Lei Xiao Tong said excitedly.
"Autie, I can't accept this." Yan i didn't think that she would et her mother-in-law like this.
'Aren't mother-in-laws supposed to be evil? Why was she so happy to see her, even giving her their family heirloom? Was she playing tricks on her?' Due to her experience, Yan i was finding it difficult to accept this.
Lei Xiao Tong calmly held Yan i's hands. "Xiaoi, don't you like your mother-in-law?" I had to wait nearly an hour for you at the entrance and now you won't even accept my gift?"
Yan i swallowed the lump in her throat and felt a little embarrassed. "No Auntie! It's just that this is too much for to accept."
"If you don't accept this, then I'm not leaving. It ans that you don't recognize as your mother-in-law. Where will you find such a beautiful mother-in-law like ? Also, isn't my son good to you? Tell if that stinky boy is not treating you right."
Yan i hurriedly shook her head. "No, no. Lei Zhao is really good."
Lei Xiao Tong smiled. "Then it's settled. You'll take this. I have an appointnt with soone near your company. Once I finish, I will invite you for lunch. Take care!"
Lei Xiao Tong hurriedly left as she was afraid Yan i would change her mind and give the bracelet back to her. Yan i blinked. If not for the bracelet on her hand that reminded her of what just happened, she would have thought that everything was an illusion.
"Su Bei, what just happened?" Yan i muttered.
"You just t the famous mother-in-law, but instead of her being evil, she is just so cool."
Yan i looked at the bracelet in a daze.
"Hmm."
