BXBX NOVEL Chapter 137 Shy
Chapter 137 Shy
"What did you do to him?" Lei Zhao said as he looked at the grown up man crying like a child.
He seems to be in immense pain and loss in his world. Yan Mei turned to look at Lei Zhao and shrugged.
"Nothing, I just let him taste how it feels to hold your loved one cold and lifeless body in your hands.
Lei Zhao scrunched his face in confusion. The man\'s cries and wails were just heartbreaking.
He was sitting on the floor as his tears raced down his cheeks. Based on the incoherent words he was saying, Lei Zhao knew he was crying for his daughter.
"He is just hallucinating. He would be fine."
Yan Mei said when he saw the confused frown on his face.
"Okay. Based on his words, it seems someone is behind all of this."
Yan Mei nodded, "Yes. Please be careful from nowards. I can afford to lose you again."
Yan Mei said softly. Lei Zhao\'s lips stretched into a helpless smile and nodded.
"Alright. I will."
Yan Mei nodded and turned to look at Mr. Andre.
"What will you do with him?" Yan Mei asked Lei Zhao quietly.
"Actually nothing. I\'m fond of his daughter and I can\'t bring myself to hurt him. I would have done the same thing if I was in his shoe."
Yan Mei scoffed when she heard him."Aren\'t you supposed to be ruthless as the rumors say?"
Lei Zhao chuckled and ruffled his wife\'s hair.
"I am. But I don\'t go around killing innocent people or destroying people because I\'m bored. Only those who deserve it."
Yan Mei frowned but said nothing
.
"Let\'s go. Mom is waiting for us." Lei Zhao said.
"Alright "
********
When they arrived, Lei Xiao Tong was in the kitchen so Yan Mei went there to help her.
"Mom." Yan Mei greeted her once she entered.
Lei Xiao Tong smiled affectionately at her.
"How are you?" She asked as she scrutinized Yan Mei. Her brows bumped into a worried frown. She made a mental note to tell his son to take care of his wife.
"I\'m fine Mom."
Lei Xiao Tong nodded,"Do you know how to wrap dumplings?"
Yan Mei blushed and shook her head awkwardly.
Lei Xiao Tong chuckled when she saw her awkwardness.
"Don\'t worry. I will teach you."
Yan Mei nodded and went to wash her hands at the sink.
Once she finished, Lei Xiao Tong started teaching her.
Since it was her first time, Yan Mei was clumsy and couldn\'t do it. But Lei Xiao Tong just laughed and taught her patiently.
After some minutes, Yan Mei gradually was able to wrap one.
Lei Xiao Tong looked at the ugly dumpling and her lips twitched but she just complimented Yan Mei.
"My daughter-in-law is really smart eh."
Yan Mei looked at the ugly dumpling and she blushed in embarrassment at the compliment.
She knew Lei Xiao Tong didn\'t want her to feel bad.
"So how is work? I know because of Lei Zhao you must have been worried."
Lei Xiao Tong asked as Yan Mei started wrapping another dumpling by herself.
"It\'s good. I\'m about to launch a new collection." Yan Mei smiled as she said.
Lei Xiao Tong\'s eyes lit up when she heard Yan Mei and she nodded.
"That\'s good. I believe in your ability. This collection would be a hit!"
Lei Xiao Tong said with a proud smile on her face.
Yan Mei nodded and smiled, "Thanks mom."
Ying Sheng was bored so she decided to visit her aunt. When she reached her aunt\'s house, she saw Lei Zhao standing in front of his car.
He seemed to be talking to someone on the phone.
She walked slowly behind Lei Zhao and decided to scare him.
"Boohoo!" Lei Zhao hung up his phone and turned around looking at Ying Sheng nonchalantly.
"Seriously?" Lei Zhao asked as he flicked Ying Sheng\'s forehead.
Ying Sheng pouted, "Cousin, you\'re no fun."
Lei Zhao shrugged. With a low chuckle, he rubbed Ying Sheng\'s head.
"How are you Kiddo?"
Ying Sheng frowned and folded her arms across her chest.
"I\'m not a kid. Stop calling me that."
Lei Zhao rolled his eyes at her.
"Why are you here? Don\'t you have class?"
"I\'m fine. Because I want to and yes I do have class but I ditched it."
Ying Sheng replied Lei Zhao with a smirk on her face.
"Hmm. Let\'s go in."
Ying Sheng raised her brows. She thought Lei Zhao was going to scold her but surprisingly he didn\'t.
"Did you come here with cousin- in- law?"
Lei Zhao nodded, the moment Ying Sheng heard Lei Zhao she dashed inside the house.
She wanted to meet Yan Mei after her company called her but she never got the chance.
Ying Sheng called out for her aunt, and Lei Xiao Tong responded quietly in the kitchen.
Once Ying Sheng got to the kitchen, she saw Yan Mei with her head down. She seemed to be immense in whatever she was doing.
Flour was smeared on her face as she focused on wrapping the dumpling.
"Ying Sheng. How are you?" Lei Xiao Tong asked with a smile.
"I\'m fine,Aunty."
Yan Mei looked up when she heard Ying Sheng and flashed her a soft smile.
Ying Sheng blushed, even though she had rushed here to ask Yan Mei why she chose her as an ambassador for her new collection she felt the words were stuck in her throat.
"Cousin-in-law". Ying Sheng greeted Yan Mei.
Yan Mei lips curved and she hummed in response.
Ying Sheng turned around to look at Lei Zhao who was laughing at her nervousness.
She harrumphed and left the kitchen ignoring Lei Zhao.
"Is everything okay?" Yan Mei asked when she saw Ying Sheng leaving.
"Yes. She is just shy around you." Lei Zhao took a paper towel and wiped the flour off Yan Mei\'s face.
Yan Mei raised her brows. Ying Sheng didn\'t look like someone who would be shy of something so why was she shy of her.
"Shy of me? Why?"
Lei Zhao chuckled and shook his head.
"I don\'t know. You can ask her later."
