Chapter 22 She is unique
Entering the restaurant, the three of them were given a private room. The high beaming ceilings and the eclectic décor worked wonders for the ambience. The inside area looked warm and inviting with the flowers on each table and soothing piano music that float in the restaurant. The decibels weren't very high, the sound was soft and shallow. Lei Zhao found out that his wife has been quiet since they entered.
"You order first, I'm going to the washroom." Lei Xiao tong said with a smile. As soon as she left, she sent a text to Lei Zhao.
"Xiaomei is a little nervous, you make her relax."
Lei Zhao looked at the phone screen and smirked, then put the phone quietly into his trousers pocket. Lei Zhao smiled and grabbed Yan Mei's hand and looked at the bracelet.
"It's beautiful." Yan Mei quickly withdrew her hands, raised her eyebrows, and glanced at the bracelet on her wrist.
"Can you return this to auntie? I can't accept this." Yan Mei said expressionlessly.
"What auntie? She is your mom too." Lei Zhao said helplessly. Yan Mei mouth twitched and she looked away not responding to him. Lei Zhao took a sip of his coffee on his table and said blankly,
"You wear it, if you take it off, I'm afraid bad things will happen." Yan Mei suddenly turned to look at him. "What are you saying?"
"This bracelet was handed down from my family. Before my grandmother died she said my mother should pass it on to my wife, otherwise, bad things will happen." Yan Mei was stunned, her mouth was open and she was speechless.
Yan Mei took a deep breath. "Are you bluffing?"
Hearing this, Lei Zhao glanced at her deeply and looked at her expressionlessly, "It doesn't matter. If you don't believe it, you can remove it."
Yan Mei pondered for a moment. She knew every family has a secret so maybe he isn't lying?
"Okay, I will wear it." Seeing her agree to wear to the bracelet a faint smile passed through his eyes. Lei Zhao grinned and took a sip of his coffee. The waiter brought the food and began serving. At this moment Lei Xiao tong came back. As soon as she was seated, she smiled and said. "You have ordered so many delicious foods."
After such a reminder, Yan Mei remembered that she and Lei Zhao didn't order anything since they sat down. Apart from the coffee, the waiter served when they first came in. She finds it strange though, when did the restaurant start serving coffee? She looked at Lei Zhao with a surprised look on her first. Lei Zhao chuckled and wiped his hands with a sterile towel on the table and took the fork and knife and cut the steak on her plates into pieces for her. He picked one with a fork and sent it to her mouth.
Lei Xiao tong smiled and said nothing. This is the first time she has seen her son served someone for the first time. Although she was jealous, her son has grown up and has gotten married. As long as he is happy with the girl she doesn't care who she is. Also, her daughter-in-law is so beautiful and independent. This was also a good thing, so she was very happy.
Yan Mei didn't expect him to personally feed her while his mother was here. "Mom hasn't eaten yet." The elder hasn't eaten yet how can she dares to take the first bite. Every time she ate with Wang Lu's mother she had to wait for her to eat first. So this has become a habit for her.
Lei Zhao and Lei Xiao tong looked at each other when they heard her called Lei Xiao tong mom. Lei Xiao tong smiled.
"It's okay, I'm not old-fashioned." Yan Mei's eyes narrowed and she immediately opened her mouth and took a bite. After swallowing, her cold face softened. The steak in this restaurant is really good. That's why she likes coming here.
The meal took an hour. At the beginning, Yan Mei was very cautious and nervous, but later she realized that Lei Xiao tong had a good personality so she gradually talked more and even smiled more often. She finally knows where Lei Zhao got his shamelessness from.
Three people stood in front of the restaurant, Lei Zhao still held Yan Mei's hand. Lei Xiao tong looked at Lei Zhao and said, "Don't forget to bring her to the family house this weekend. Your father and cousins want to meet your wife."
Lei Zhao nodded. Yan Mei's phone rang at this moment, taking the phone from her purse she realized she had missed so many calls from Su Bei. She had completely forgotten that she has a meeting this afternoon.
She looked at Lei Xiao tong, "I'm sorry mom, there is something at the company I have to go." Lei Xiao tong smiled and waved at her. "Go, don't forget to come with Lei Zhao to visit me this weekend."
Yan Mei nodded and hurriedly left the place. Without saying anything to Lei Zhao. Lei Zhao's face became sulky when he realized his wife didn't say goodbye to him. Yan Mei walked all the way back to her company since it was just opposite the restaurant.
Lei Zhao led his mother to the parking lot and got into her car. As soon as the door was closed, Lei Xiao tong said calmly, "how did you convince her to marry you?"
She can see that Yan Mei doesn't love her son. It was because Lei Xiao tong recognized that Yan Mei was a good girl, so she was not angry with his son's practice, but instead, she was anxious for her son. There was a long silence in the car.
Lei Zhao raised the corners of his mouth and said lightly, "I will work hard to make her fall in love with me."
Lei Xiao tong sighed. She hopes her son will be happy. Lei Xiao tong knows that the one who suffered the most when Lei Zhang died was Lei Zhao. He depended on his brother so much but he died leaving him alone. Even though his son tries to be happy in front of her, she knows he is still hurting. She held his head and placed it on her shoulder.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, the one who is emotional first in a relationship is often miserable. Fortunately, this girl is very rare. Even though I can't find anything about her past, I can feel she is a good person. Just a person with a story. Treat her well and don't pressure her into anything hopefully she will understand you sooner. Also, be vigilant, we don't know who she is yet. For a woman to create a company in just three years is not an easy task, even though her family is among the top families in this country. Does she know who you are?"
Lei Zhao shook his head. "No, I don't think so." Lei Xiao tong nodded. "Make sure you can trust her first before you revealed anything to her. But make sure it is not too long, keeping secrets in a relationship can destroy it."
Lei Zhao glanced sideways and looked at his mother, "I understand mom, don't worry."
Lei Xiao tong smiled, "you're so handsome any girl will fall for you, why did you pick someone who doesn't like you"
"Haha." Lei Zhao laughed and his eyes flashed with a strange tenderness. "This means she is unique."
He looked throughout the window, and his eyes were filled with imperatives. It just that he remembered the pain in her eyes when he first met her and her nightmare last night. When her child comes back will she leave him and reunite with the child's father?
