Chapter 278 Truth unfold(1)
Leng Shao's alarm went off and he looked towards the window to see light pecking through the blinds.
He grunted as he looked at his phone. He had a meeting at eleven am in the morning and it was nine o'clock already.
He kicked off his covers and walked towards his bathroom to freshen up. After he had finished bathing and put on his suit, he had about forty mini left.
He headed to the kitchen to eat breakfast. He stopped in his tracks the moment he reached the kitchen as he saw his mother leaning over his kitchen counter.
'When did she come?'
"Mom?" Leng Shao called out his mother as he strolled into the kitchen.
"Good morning, son." Mrs. Leng turned, looking at her son with a soft smile on her face.
"When did you come?" Leng Shao asked as he opened the fridge, looking for something to eat. His cook had taken a leave since her son was sick, so he was stuck with junk food until she comes back.
"Oh last night. I was waiting for you but you weren't coming so I went to sleep." Mrs. Leng explained.
"Do you want some eggs?" Mrs. Leng asked her son.
Leng Shao looked at his mother and raised his brows.
"Are you trying to murder me this early morning?"
Leng Shao chuckled as he made an oatmeal around his mother. His mother was a terrible cook. He remembers the first time his mother cooked for him. He had ended up at the hospital.
Mrs. Leng rolled her eyes as her lips stretched into a smile.
"How was work last night? You got home late." She said as she took a sip of her coffee.
"Oh, it was okay. My stocks fell after the leakage of the video but now everything is okay. Some news outlet issued a statement and proofs that the video was released by a rival of Yan Mei.
Leng Shao explained as he stuck a spoonful of oatmeal in his mouth.
"That's good." She breathed a sigh of relief as an unknown glint passed through her eyes.
"I called Feng Mei last night and told her we will be coming for dinner with her tonight."
Leng Shao paused when he heard his mother and looked up at her. Actually he was planning on avoiding Yan Mei until he had proof of those who hurt her but his mother called her and schedule a dinner?
"D-did she agree?" Leng Shao swallowed as he asked.
"Of course, she agreed. She was happy to hear from me." Mrs. Leng gave her son a smile as she said.
"But mom-"
"I know you're worried about her after the video. But you shouldn't let such a thing destroy your friendship."
Leng Shao shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"Alright. I'm going to work." He checked his watch and stood up. He knew once his mother has made up her mind, nothing can change it.
"Be home early for the dinner." She muttered.
"Okay." Leng Shao said and gave her a peck on the check before heading out.
As he drove to work, Su Bei called him and they made small talk and finished their conversation before he pulled into the parking lot.
"Okay, princess. I will see you soon." Leng Shao chuckled as he hung up the call. His relationship with Su Bei was going so well. They will talk on the phone anytime they got. And those moments were his favorite time of the day. To hear his princess voice.
With a smile on his face, he got down from his car and strolled towards his company.

"How do I look?" Yan Mei asked Lei Zhao as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing this pink lacey dress with her hair pulled in a ponytail.
"You look beautiful darling. Now I'm thinking whether we should call the Lengs that you're sick so that I can rip this dress of you."
Lei Zhao said as he pulled Yan Mei into his arms, wrapping his hands around her waist.
Yan Mei playfully smack his arms. "Is sex the only thing you think about all the time?"
Lei Zhao grinned as her as his hands found her ass giving it a hard squeeze.
"Of course-"
The sound of their door ringing interrupted him. Yan Mei pulled away from Lei Zhao and took a deep breath to calm her raging hormones down.
"They are here. I will go get the door." She pressed a quick kiss on Lei Zhao's lips and went to open the door.
"Auntie." Yan Mei greeted Mrs. Leng as the woman pulled her into a hug.
"Yan Mei. How are you doing?"
Yan Mei smiled and pulled away from the old woman.
"I'm good. How are you?"
"I'm fine. Here I brought you chocolate."
Yan Mei smiled, "Thank you. Please come in."
Mrs. Leng walked inside the house leaving Yan Mei and Leng Shao at the door.
"Hey." Leng Shao said awkwardly as he stuck his hands in his jackets pocket.
Yan Mei snorted at his awkwardness as a teasing glint passed through her eyes.
She pulled Leng Shao into a hug as she chuckled.
"You're cute when you're nervous." Yan Mei commented.
Leng Shao pulled back when he heard someone clearing his throat.
He saw Lei Zhao glaring at him. Leng Shao nodded at him as a greeting. Sensing the tension between the two men, Yan Mei rolled her eyes.
"Come in. Let's eat."
The dinner was filled with laughter as Mrs. Leng share funny stories about how Yan Mei will steal the cookies in her kitchen. And their memories in City M.
Lei Zhao watched as Mrs. Leng personally fed his wife from her spoon and a glint passed through his eyes.
He could see how much the woman loved Yan Mei so why did she do what she did five years ago? Even though he had a rough idea, he needed answers and he needed them now.
After the dinner, they sat on the balcony and talk about things under the weather. Yan Mei and Leng Shao were back to being close friends as they teased each other non stop.
"Lei Zhao are you okay?" Yan Mei whispered in Lei Zhao's ears since he was awfully quiet. It seems something was weighing on his mind.
"Yes. I'm fine." He smiled at her and ruffled her hair.
"Mrs. Leng can I discuss something with you privately?" Lei Zhao said out of the blue.
Silence ensued as they all turned to look at him. They clearly wasn't expecting that. Mrs. Leng heart skipped a beat as her eyes met Lei Zhao's.
For some weird reason she couldn't help but feel like the young man could see through her. Did he find out what she did years ago? No-no she made sure not to leave any clues behind.
Also, it was such a long time ago.
Squeezing out a smile, she nodded.
"Okay."
Yan Mei raised her brows at Lei Zhao but he just pressed a kiss on her forehead.
"I will be right back. Don't worry."
Yan Mei nodded and watched as Lei Zhao and Mrs. Leng walked towards the study room.
She looked at Leng but he just shrugged telling her he knows nothing.
Yan Mei sighed. Lei Zhao had been behaving strange ever since they come back from their vacation. She hopes everything is okay.
