Chapter 21 I’m not that kind of mother-in-law
When Yan Mei returned to her desk, she quickly texted Lei Zhao with her mobile phone. Luckily, she had collected his number this morning.
"Why didn't you tell me that auntie will come here today? You don't know how nervous I was. Do you think she likes me? Also, was she angry about the flash marriage? What gift should I prepare for her? She said she will come back and invite me for lunch later, can you accompany me? I don't want to go alone with her."
In a hurry Yan Mei sent the text after it was sent, she suddenly regretted it. Why did she write that? Will Lei Zhao think she hates his mother?
She squeezed her phone nervously with her brows bumped together in a scowl and decided to send another message to explain herself but her phone buzzed indicating that she had a message.
Lei Zhao looked at the message sent by his wife and sighed. It seems this is the first time his wife had said so many things to him at once. It seems she is really afraid of his mother. But why is she afraid of his mother? He knows his mother will not bully his wife so why is she so nervous?
But thinking about his mysterious wife Lei Zhao knew maybe she had her reasons. He could only hope that one day she would trust him enough to tell him everything.
"Wifey, if you are not comfortable with being alone with her, just tell her. Don't worry mom will understand."
Yan Mei looked at the text and frowned, her expression was tangled. After a while, she just replied,
"I'm just not ready." Yan Mei didn't dislike her mother-in-law or didn't want to eat with him or his family is just that everything was moving too fast for her.
"I understand, I will accompany mom for lunch don't worry." Lei Zhao replied.
Yan Mei felt bad, thinking about the woman's enthusiasm when she saw her, even if it's fake, she knew it was rude to decline her invitation.
"See you later, I will go." Yan Mei replied with her forehead puckered.
"Okay, take care, wifey."
Yan Mei looked at Lei Zhao's message for a while before putting the phone down and buried herself in her work.
At exactly noon, Su Bei called her that Lei Xiao Tong was waiting for her outside. Lei Xiao Tong looked at Su Bei who was speaking to Yan Mei and smiled slightly.
Su Bei was tall and had a delicate facial feature. Even though, she wasn't wearing makeup her skin was very good. Lei Xiao Tong thought that if Su Bei gives birth, her child will be very beautiful. A scheming light passed through Lei Xiao Tong's eyes.
Thinking about her nephew who wasn't married yet, Lei Xiao Tong thought Su Bei would be the perfect wife for him.
She knew Su Bei was the only friend of Yan Mei but she was very humble and worked diligently without taking advantage of her friendship with Yan Mei.
Su Bei hung up the call and turned to look at Lei Xiao Tong.
"Madam, she said she will be out in a minute. Do you need anything while you wait?" Su Bei said politely.
Lei Xiao Tong smiled,
"Miss Su, do you have a boyfriend" Su Bei froze when she heard her.
"No, madam I don't have a boyfriend." Su Bei was a little embarrassed when she said this. She is almost twenty-five but she had never had a boyfriend. She was too busy working and taking care of her mother to engage in a relationship. Also, she was waiting for him. Thinking about that man, Su Bei lips set in a grim line.
Lei Xiao Tong smiled when she heard her.
"Good, I know a nice guy I will introduce you to him." Lei Xiao tong said softly.
Su Bei blushed when she heard her.
"No-"
"Auntie, did I make you wait for a long time?" Yan Mei's voice interrupted Su Bei.
Lei Xiao Tong stepped forward with a smile, took Yan Mei's hand and said,
"You, young girls have read a lot of books and watch a lot of dramas with bad mothers-in-law. Don't be afraid of me, I'm not that kind of person. I am the kind of mother-in-law who will protect her daughter-in-law, so if anyone bullies you, even if it's Lei Zhao don't hesitate to tell me. I will help you fight! My daughter-in-law can bully others but others can't bully her. We are now a family, so don't be afraid."
Yan Mei stode frozen and slack-jawed. She didn't know what to say.
'Was God pitying her by giving her such a good mother-in-law? The first one treated her like dirt and now her new mother-in-law whom she barely knew was saying she would protect her. Can she trust her?' Yan Mei thought.
Yan Mei didn't know that her mother-in-law will be her biggest backer in the future, always spoiling her.
Looking at the lost look on Yan Mei's face, Lei Xiao Tong smiled softly,
"You're cute."
Yan Mei bit her lips and glanced away when she heard her.
"Lei Zhao told me that we should go to the western restaurant across the street, he said you like eating there. Let's go."
When they reached the place, they saw Lei Zhao waiting for them. He was wearing formal attire and was leaning on her car waiting for them at the parking lot.
Yan Mei eyes grew wider she did not expect to see him standing in the sun waiting for them. This is the first time she had seen him wore a suit. She has to admit he looked good. She frowned slightly when she realized that she didn't even know the job her husband does.
Lei Xiao Tong smiled and pulled Lei Zhao away from the car. Lei Zhao looked at the bracelet on Yan Mei's hand and a smug grin appeared on his face.
He stretched out his arms, took Yan Mei's hand from his mother's hand and placed it with his hands, and took his mother's other hand walking in between them. All the way, to the restaurant, Yan Mei didn't speak. She could feel Lei Zhao's thick and warm palm. His strength was just right, not too tight to hurt her and not too loose for her to break free.
Yan Mei turned to look at him and saw him chatting with his mother. She didn't know what his mother said but she saw him smile.
The sun shining on his pure face made him look more handsome. Yan Mei stared at him in a daze, swallowing constantly.
Lei Zhao turned to look at her when he felt her gaze on him. Their eyes met, Yan Mei blinked in panic and looked away. Her ears were red.
'So embarrassing, he caught me staring at him.' Yan Mei thought bitterly.
Lei Zhao smiled radiantly but he said nothing.
