The sales volume of the magazine photo set was very high the very moment it was published. Yan Huan had once again successfully established herself in the fashion world.
“How beautiful.” Ye Shuyun flipped through the magazine with growing fascination.
“And she looks handsome this time.” Madam Lei had a copy of the magazine too. Both of them were Yan Huan’s die-hard fans. Now that Yan Huan had become Ye Shuyun’s daughter-in-law, they would definitely support her. They had bought over 100 copies of Mujin Flower Magazine and distributed them to their acquaintances, so that everyone owned a copy. They would hold the magazine in their hands everyday and could hardly tear themselves away from the magazine.
“Sis, I need to tell you some good news.” Madam Lei put down the magazine. She had forgotten the most important news the moment she read the magazine.
“What’s the good news?”
Ye Shuyun flipped the page again. There were only a few pages, but she had flipped through the pages no less than hundreds of times. She had different feelings and was still impressed every time she read the magazine.
Even she had such feelings, not to mention other people.
Seeing how Ye Shuyun kept praising her daughter-in-law, Madam Lei could not bear it anymore and dragged her arm.
“Sis, Qingyi is getting married.”
“Oh, alright, get married, go on then.”
Perhaps Ye Shuyun did not realize who exactly was getting married.
Madam Lei rolled her eyes, “Sis, Qingyi is getting married.”
“What?” Ye Shuyun finally came back to her senses. She threw the magazine onto the table and turned her face toward Madam Lei.
“Your son, Qingyi is getting married?”
“Yeah,” Madam Lei was grinning from ear-to-ear. “Ah, after all the waiting, I was really worried that no one would ever like that silly boy. He’s so tall yet slow-witted. Lu Yi is better, at least he’s good-looking. But my son is just a clumsy big bear. I was really anxious that he couldn’t get a wife forever. Thankfully, there’s still someone out there who can see through him. Big bear is indeed clumsy, but she can see and knows that he will treat his wife well. He will treat her like his own daughter.”
“Exactly, exactly,” Ye Shuyun was nodding her head continually. “It’s exactly how it should be. Qingyi is a good man, only those who have good taste would marry him. She’ll be treated as if she’s soaked in honey jars for her whole life. After all, Qingyi’s father has never argued with you.”
“Of course,” Madam Lei thought that marrying Qingyi’s dad was her best decision ever. Of course it would be the same for the woman who married her son, she was definitely wise.
Never mind a man’s looks, for his heart was the most important thing to consider.
Her son was not a potential stock; he was one that would rise for sure.
“Right, I have to thank you for Qingyi’s marriage,” Madam Lei naturally had to thank Ye Shuyun properly since they had mentioned about it.
“Thank me?” Ye Shuyun pointed at herself. “Why’d you thank me? I didn’t do anything.” Did Lei Qingyi’s marriage have anything to do with her? But she did not introduce anyone to him lately. Not that she had not introduced girls to him in the past, but they all despised Lei Qingyi for being a rough guy. He had a fiery temper and loud voice, he was mean as well, and far harder to sell than her own son, Lu Yi. Was it possible that she had done any promotion to sell Lei Qingyi?
“Of course I have to thank you,” Madam Lei took out her phone and swiped out a photo. “Look, this is my daughter-in-law.”
Ye Shuyun leaned toward her, “This young lady is quite pretty and she shows a heroic spirit.” Ye Shuyun leaned her chin on Madam Lei’s shoulder. Their friendship was deep as perceived.
“She’s beautiful.” That was Ye Shuyun’s first impression.
Was she beautiful, or absolutely gorgeous?
“Not as pretty as your daughter-in-law,” Madam Lei gave a humble reply but she was actually content. This young lady was much prettier than those who were previously introduced to Lei Qingyi. Besides, she had a good personality. She was the perfect match to Madam Lei’s preferences.
“By the way, I forgot to mention this,” Madam Lei kept her phone before going on, “my daughter-in-law is Yan Huan’s agent. She’s the one who took the photos.”
“What a coincidence,” Ye Shuyun finally understood why Madam Lei thanked her. If it were not because of Lu Yi getting to know Yan Huan and marrying her, perhaps Lei Qingyi would not be able to get a wife so soon.
The Lu and Lei families were considered as upper class families. However, both the families gave birth to children who worried them so much. One was like a big bear and the other one was like a rock. They were not popular among girls since young. They were unpopular and they never had a serious girlfriend.
Now at last, both of them finally settled the most important event of their life.
However, Ye Shuyun was still feeling unhappy that Lu Yi had to get married in secret. She understood their reason for doing so, she just did not know when she would get to see them openly declare their marriage.
Unlike Lei Qingyi, who was going to get married publicly.
Forget about it. She had an open mindset. Marrying in secret was way better than being single.
Lei Qingyi brought Yi Ling home a few days later to meet his parents. They did not invite a lot of people, but just had a meal together as a family so that she could familiarize herself with them.
“Call her Mum.” Lei Qingyi tugged at Yi Ling’s sleeves. She is usually loud and bold, how come she’s acting like a shy and obedient daughter-in-law?
Yi Ling could not say it. The only person whom she had been calling Mum in her entire life was Yan Huan’s mother. She didn’t even know where her own mother was. She was an abandoned child and her recognition of motherly love came from Madam Yan.
It was really hard for her to call Madam Lei Mum as she was really clumsy in her speech.
Lei Qingyi knew that Yi Ling was feeling awkward, so he squeezed her hand in encouragement.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry. We’re all amiable. There aren’t many rules here. ”
Madam Lei kept smiling, she thought her mouth was going to break apart. Yet, she had no choice but to smile. She was worried that she might scare off her daughter-in-law if she did not smile. It was not easy for her son to marry a fine-looking lady and she would do anything for her. Not only would she smile, she would cry if she had to.
Yi Ling lowered her head. She still could not bring herself to call her Mum.
“Alright, alright, let’s eat first. There’s no need to rush things.”
Madam Lei tried to liven up the atmosphere, worrying that Yi Ling might feel uncomfortable.
“Erm…” Yi Ling was indeed shy. It was rare for a tomboy like her to blush.
“I’m sorry. I’m an orphan and I have no mum. I only have a godmother. That’s why I don’t really know how to…”
This child is really honest. Madam Lei felt sorry for her.
Her eyes reddened. Who would be so hard-hearted to abandon a good child like her? If she was my daughter, I would cherish her as much as I can.
Yi Ling could probably feel the benevolence of Madam Lei as she wanted to get close to her by instinct. Her concealed heart finally loosened bit by bit.
