Chapter 307 – Could this be the boss’s legendary ex-wife? (2)
Being with the boss for a while, Yan Shuyu had learned a lot about his family. Some were told to her by the boss and some were from the little male lead, the aunty at the boss’s place, Secretary Lu who had been with him for years and, occasionally, even Louis and Robin. The little male lead’s real mother, though, was one who had never showed up in any conversation.As everybody had avoided the subject so and Yan Shuyu did not care too much about it herself, she never tried to pry. After all, the stepmother had been married to the boss for over 10 years and the male lead’s mother had never shown up once. It was as though this person had never existed and it was fair to assume that that would remain unchanged.
Granted, she only wanted to date the boss and had no interest in being the next Mrs. Zhou. Even if the male lead’s mother was to shown up, it would have nothing to do with her.
Looking at the two of them standing there facing each other, Yan Shuyu suddenly recalled what rich woman Madam Qin had said a year ago.Qin Luoyi had mentioned that Boss Zhou’s ex-wife’s surname was Lin and she was from a wealthy family as well. She had further mentioned that the boss’s ex-wife was among the top in looks in their circle and was leaps and bounds better than Yan Shuyu. Back in the days, the union between Boss Zhou and Mrs. Zhou had rocked the entire city and the two of them were considered a match made in heaven. Recalling the words of the rich woman, Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but felt a little jealous. Surely little male lead’s mother was a beauty, but she wouldn’t say that she was that much prettier.
Okay, the helpless look on her that would naturally make others want to be protective on her was a rare quality that was not often seen. Even steel could be bend around a little finger. She supposed only women like that would be considered the best in a man’s eyes. All in all, she herself would never become a woman that was soft and tender like water.
Taking another look at the man and woman standing quietly facing each other, Yan Shuyu felt displeased. The boss had come over to this quiet corner purposefully to have a conversation with his ex-wife. She felt that it was not her place to be standing around and watch. She was just about to take off with the little kiddos when the boss, suddenly acted like he had eyes on the back of his head, somehow was able to reach his hand toward where they were without even looking back. Then, he waved his hand a few times as though he was waving at a puppy, “Yanyan, why don’t you take the kids over to say hi?”
“Say, say hi?” Yan Shuyu was startled. She was baffled. What was it that was going through the boss’s mind?
Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi were very pro-active. They felt much more righteous than her and immediately walked out while holding her hands when they heard that.
The sobbing, tear-stained beauty also looked up and looked at them. Stunned, she took a step back and her limpid eyes looked back and forth between Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Qinhe. Then, nobody knew what had gone through her mind, she said as though she had made a big decision, “We will be bygone be bygone but we can still have a future together. What do you say, Qinhe?”
The message was very loaded. Yan Shuyu, paused on her way, suddenly didn’t want to walk up anymore. Boss Zhou, who was standing much closer to the beauty seemed not to have heard the suggestiveness in the beauty’s words at all. He turned around and urged them, “C’mon over, Yanyan—”
Her name, being said once again by the boss, boosted Yan Shuyu’s sense of existence. She had noticed how this woman, who was likely to be the male lead’s mother, had looked at her son a few times and also at the boss and the little male lead. She had, never once, looked at her.
Yan Shuyu had never been so completely ignored by anyone ever since she had transmigrated into a gorgeous woman. That was a bit awkward.
