Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 20 Meeting the mother-in-law



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 documents 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 documents, 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.

Su Bei smiled and replied, "I'm fine."

Yan Mei turned when she felt someone 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 Mei felt inexplicably strange.

"Madam, are you okay?" Yan Mei would have normally ignored such a person, but today her instincts told her not to. Lei Xiao Tong looked at Yan Mei and she was satisfied at the moment. She just smiled, didn't answer, and took a step forward.

Yan Mei stepped back, a cold light passed through her eyes. "What do you want?"

At this time, Lei Xiao Tong looked at Yan Mei's cold demeanor 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 schemes. 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 Mei's hands and said, "Xiaomei, I'm Lei Zhao's mother. I learned that you worked here, so I came to visit you."

Yan Mei suddenly opened her mouth and her whole body fell into a state of shock. She snapped out of it when she felt something 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 means you're destined to be my daughter-in-law," Lei Xiao Tong said excitedly.

"Autie, I can't accept this." Yan Mei didn't think that she would meet 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 Mei was finding it difficult to accept this.

Lei Xiao Tong calmly held Yan Mei's hands. "Xiaomei, 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 Mei swallowed the lump in her throat and felt a little embarrassed. "No Auntie! It's just that this is too much for me to accept."

"If you don't accept this, then I'm not leaving. It means that you don't recognize me as your mother-in-law. Where will you find such a beautiful mother-in-law like me? Also, isn't my son good to you? Tell me if that stinky boy is not treating you right."

Yan Mei 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 appointment with someone near your company. Once I finish, I will invite you for lunch. Take care!"

Lei Xiao Tong hurriedly left as she was afraid Yan Mei would change her mind and give the bracelet back to her. Yan Mei 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 Mei muttered.

"You just met the famous mother-in-law, but instead of her being evil, she is just so cool."

Yan Mei looked at the bracelet in a daze.

"Hmm."
