Stepmom Male Lead Villain

Chapter 67

Being with the boss for a while, Yan Shuyu had learned a lot about his family. Some were told to him by the boss and some from the little male leader, the aunt in the boss' place, Secretary Lu who had been with him for many years and, sometimes, even Louis and Robin. However, the little man's lead mother was the one who had never appeared in any conversation.

Since everyone was avoiding the topic, and Yan Shuyu herself did not care much, she never tried to pry. After all, the stepmother had been married to the boss for over 10 years and the male lead mother had never appeared even once. It was as if this person had never existed and it was natural to assume that it would remain unchanged.

Indeed, he only wanted to date the boss and had no interest in becoming the next Mrs Zhou. Even if the male lead's mother appeared, it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing the two of them standing there facing each other, Yan Shuyu suddenly recalled what the rich lady Lady Qin had said a year ago.

Qin Luoyi had mentioned that the surname of Boss Zhou's ex-wife was Lin and she also came from a wealthy family. He further mentioned that the boss' ex-wife was among the top in appearance in their circle and jumped up and down better than Yan Shuyu. Back in the days, the union between Boss Zhou and Madam Zhou had shaken the entire city and the two of them were considered a suitable match in heaven. Recalling the rich lady's words, Yan Shuyu couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Surely the leader mother of the little man was beautiful, but she would not say that she was much prettier.

Okay, a helpless look at her that would naturally make others want to protect her is a rare quality that is not often seen. Even steel can be bent with the little finger. He thought only such a woman would be considered the best in the eyes of men. Overall, she herself would never be a woman as gentle and gentle as water.

Looking again at the man and woman standing silently facing each other, Yan Shuyu felt displeased. The boss came to this lonely corner on purpose to talk to his ex-wife. He felt that it was not his place to stand and watch. He was just about to take off with the little kids when the boss, suddenly acted as if he had eyes on the back of his head, was, somehow it was able to grab his hands to where they were without even looking back. Then, he waved his hand a few times as if he was waving at a puppy, "Yanyan, why don't you invite the kids over to say hello?"

"Say, greet?" Yan Shuyu was shocked. She's confused. What comes to mind boss?

Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi were very pro-active. They felt much truer than him and immediately walked out holding his hand when they heard that.

The beauty who was sobbing and teary-eyed also looked up and looked at them. Stunned, he took a step back and his clear eyes looked back and forth between Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Qinhe. Then, no one knew what was on his mind, he said as if he had made a big decision, “We will pass, but we can still have a future together. What are you saying, Qinhe? ”

The message was very loaded. Yan Shuyu, stopping on the road, suddenly did not want to walk anymore. Boss Zhou, who was standing closer to the beauty seemed to have heard no suggestion in the words of the beauty at all. He turned around and urged them, "Come, Yanyan—"

His name, which was spoken once again by his boss, increased the sense of Yan Shuyu's existence. She had noticed how this woman, who was most likely the mother of the male lead, had looked at her son several times and also at the boss and leader of the little man. He never once, ever looked at her.

Yan Shuyu had never been completely ignored by anyone since she transmigrated into a beautiful woman. That's kind of awkward.

And now, the beauty turned all her attention to Yan Shuyu. He looked at her with a bluish look with his clear eyes. His eyes seemed to be filled with sadness and felt unfairly treated. His appearance made Yan Shuyu feel a little guilty. He tried to passively withstand the pressure but ended up being dragged there by his son and the little male lead.

Yan Shuyu deeply appreciated his insta son and the little male leader who left the boss to pass on a message to him. Therefore, he had no heart to blame them too much so all his dissatisfaction was directed towards the boss. As they got closer, he could not help but grumble, "Why do you insist that we come?"

Zhou Qinhe gave him a smile that was not a smile. "Didn't you eavesdrop there first?"

Yan Shuyu said very correctly, "Well, you never said a word and we were just about to leave."

“Yeah, you're already here. Maybe also say hello. ” The awkwardness between the two women did not seem to bother Boss Zhou at all. He wrapped his arms around Yan Shuyu, pulled her closer, smiled and said, “You probably already know. This is Lin Surong, Xiao Yi's mother.”

When Yan Shuyu was just about to explain that she did not think about it at all, the boss had already looked at her son and said gently to him, "Xiao Yi, greet your mother."

As smart as Zhou Yi was, after all, he was just a child and not as smart as his Aunt Yan. He was slightly stunned after hearing his father's words and looked at Lin Surong for a bit with widened eyes as if he was trying to confirm something. Finally, she greeted him casually, "Good night, Mom."

He could have greeted a stranger with his tone of voice.

The soft and emotional Lin Surong had already held back her tears with her hands covering her mouth. There were tears in her beautiful eyes, which were curved with happiness in them. He walked over and stroked his head. "Darling, you've grown so much."

Zhang Yuanjia held his mother's hand tightly, puzzled. He always thought that his little friend was no problem. Just like he doesn't have a father. Having a mother was a good thing so why didn't Xiao Yi look so excited looking at her mother?

The little boy looked at his mother with question marks all over his face. Yan Shuyu, however, was even more confused than he was now. The mother and daughter duo looked at the other mother and daughter pair and listened to their casual conversation before parting ways. The little male lead mother ended up walking towards the main place while often turning around as she walked.

So when the boss said to come and say hello, he really meant to come and say hello?

Yan Shuyu was completely dumbfounded. After they returned to the venue, he did not see Lin Surong again for the rest of the night. Seeing how calm the boss and leader of the little man was, he tried very hard to suppress all the questions he had. As soon as they got home, she quickly grabbed the boss and asked, "How's the story with your ex-wife?"

She was so anxious that she had not even removed her makeup or removed her jewelry. Boss Zhou, on the other hand, was very relaxed. He started taking off his jacket and removing his tie as soon as he got inside their apartment. His voice was also indifferent. “Oh, I also don't know that he has returned to China. Uncle Yan was very close to Lin these days. Had I known I would have been looking for some reason to quit the meeting tonight.”

Unfortunately, that was not Yan Shuyu's question. He looked at the boss seriously. “I can already tell. Does she want to come back with you?”

“It sounds like that.” Zhou Qinhe lowered his head and unbuttoned his shirt casually as if what they were talking about didn't really matter.

He did not care too much about it but Yan Shuyu did not feel the same way. He could not help but bring his head closer to her and ask, “So? What do you think of that? ”

"I?" Zhou Qinhe stopped what he was doing for a moment before he looked up. His eyes pierced like sharp blades as he looked up and, immediately, Yan Shuyu was intimidated and stopped talking.

Fortunately, it was short-lived, and the boss's look softened again. His lips curled upwards, he asked in a very sincere tone, "Why don't you tell me your thoughts first?"

Actually, he stood out as far as this matter was concerned. After all, a perfect girlfriend like a boss doesn't come every day. He doesn't want to break up with her. Marrying her and being the stepmother of a small male leader, on the other hand, was also not an option. It was only a matter of time before he broke up with her. Now that the little male lead's mother changed her mind, it would be wrong for her to hoard him like he did.

Even so, the boss and leader of the little man was very kind to him and his son. Replying virtue with complaint is wrong. Therefore, after a long and drawn-out thought, he finally said in a very altruistic way, “I think you can think about it. After all, she was Xiao Yi's mother. It would be better for the boy if you two could get back together. ”

"Are you saying that if Yuanbao's father shows up, you will return with him without hesitation?" Zhou Qinhe's lips might still be curled and she might seem pleasant as she spoke, but, somewhere, her eyes were covered in mist and anyone who was shy would probably cry just from her gaze alone.

Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, was still touched by how big of a heart she had and was completely unaware of her boss' appearance. He waved his hand and said, “Yeah Yuanbao is dead. How can I go back with him?”

Even if he didn't die, he wouldn't go back with her. What if he finds out that he's not the original owner? It definitely won't end well.

"Are you saying that you will come back with him if he is still alive?" – Zhou Qinhe almost slipped and asked but he quickly stopped himself. He knew that there was no meaning in trying and competing with the dead; moreover, knowing how heartless he usually was, he said, just because he told her to go back with his ex-wife doesn't mean he misses her late husband.

However, that way of thinking did not make him feel completely fine. He had to take a deep breath before he could regulate his emotions. Then he said to her calmly, "If it's best for the boy, we won't get divorced in the first place."

Yan Shuyu was already curious after meeting the little man leader's mother today. Now that the boss had talked about it, he asked without further ado, "Oh yeah, so why are you two divorcing each other?"

Zhou Qinhe was not surprised by his curiosity. However, he glanced at her before saying, "Why did you ask why I married her in the first place?"

Yan Shuyu was completely unaware of the boss' mood swings. Still smiling heartlessly, she said, “Alright, I'd love to hear it if you want to share.”

Zhou Qinhe, "... ..."

Boss Zhou finally put down his tie, sat on the sofa, waved at him and it seemed like he was ready to talk at length. Yan Shuyu quickly staggered, sat down next to him, and made it seem as if she was ready for whatever she wanted to share.

“Not many stories there. Grandpa Lin had helped our family when I was a child so there was talk that she and I should get married when we were adults. Then, Grandpa Lin had died just like my parents and all of their last wishes were for us to get married. Therefore, we got married just like that after Lin Surong graduated college.”

The boss' voice was calm as if he was telling someone else's story. Yan Shuyu initially thought that it was a pretty romantic story as the two of them knew each other since childhood, but once seeing her expressionless face, she decided to shut up and continue listening.

“He's young and he wants love. I, on the other hand, had just taken over the company less than two years earlier and had a lot to take care of. I don't have the time or the mood to spend time with him. Slowly, over time, we get further away from each other.”.

"You were even busier then than you are now?" Yan Shuyu finally could not help but interrupt. “To be exact how busy you are ?!”

With the husband not being at home day after day, let alone the little male lead's mother, even if it was her she wanted to divorce the boss. Not to mention her as the young mistress of a rich family. Why would he want to submit to that?

Boss Zhou gave him an expressionless look and Yan Shuyu's neck shrank rapidly. She smiled at him and said, "Continue. Resume. I promise I won't bother you anymore.”

The conversation changed after that point. The boss continued gently, “I still don't have time to spend with her even when she's pregnant. He met a friend who was familiar with him and decided to say goodbye to our lifestyle. She took off after she gave birth.”

"Wait ..." Yan Shuyu, who had promised not to interrupt, looked over the boss' head reflexively and could not help but ask, "A friend she met .... when she was pregnant?" *

There was no change in Boss Zhou's appearance. "She said they were just friends."

“Mmm, mmm.” Yan Shuyu nodded. "Then what happened?"

"They moved abroad after the divorce."

Yan Shuyu, "......"

Who believed that there was no lush pasture above the boss's head?

With an indifferent look at the boss, Yan Shuyu felt it was inappropriate for him to tease her. It is said that the ego of a man is a very dangerous territory.

But he got it now. The women had cheated and ended up in divorce. That would explain why everyone avoided talking about it and also explain the perceived distance between the little male lead and his mother. "So, you always tell Xiao Yi that her mother is overseas?"

“She wants to pursue love and hopes we don't interfere in her life. I have no choice but to tell Xiao Yi the truth. ”

His boss might look like he had no better choice but Yan Shuyu wanted to comment. He is a very smart man, of course there are many things he can do. He simply chose the most direct and simple way that would also serve the purpose of strengthening the little male leader.

Then again, compared to all the other things he had done in this book, he was already an excellent and loving father here. Yan Shuyu decided not to comment on it and, instead, focused on a different point. "If she's after her true love, why is she back now?"

Zhou Qinhe gave him a smile that was not a smile and seemed to say that now you finally know it.

Yan Shuyu remained silent. He really isn't that stupid. But there was so much information in their conversation today that he could not focus. \=.\=

Boss Zhou stared back at him and continued to explain to him patiently. “He has parted ways with the friend and heard some of his friends and family in China call me. She had also seen our photo on Twitter and suddenly realized that she missed Xiao Yi so much. He felt that I had changed a lot and was not the indifferent money-making machine I used to be. That I am flesh and blood now and someone who understands what love is.”.

Yan Shuyu could not help but study her boss. She felt that perhaps the biological mother of the little male leader had been overthinking this. As far as he knew, the boss was still an indifferent money-making machine…

When he was zoning, the boss concluded, “He feels that if you are fine, surely he will also be fine.”

“Good for what?” Yan Shuyu was confused but the boss just looked at her calmly and calmly. Chuckling, he asked, "What do you think?"

Yan Shuyu may not be the smartest but all women are experts in relationships. He thought about it for a while and suddenly understood what the little male lead's mother – meant that she wasn't good enough for the boss's love!

He just tried to eat the melon and somehow ended up being looked down upon. Yan Shuyu was suddenly annoyed. She thrust out her cleavage that was pinched by the dress and said, “What does she mean by 'if I'm okay'? Exactly what he has that I don't have.”*

Boss Zhou finally smiled for the first time since they arrived home and the smile was warm like a breeze in the spring. “Mm. You are irreplaceable.”

Yan Shuyu, "......"

Yan Shuyu suddenly flushed uncontrollably. Something's been going into the boss lately. What is all the tenderness that comes from him? They're too much for him.
