Chapter 132 - 133: Preparing for Pregnancy (1)
A woman, that’s even more puzzling. Could it be Qin Zhimei, Kong Jie, or her mother-in-law?
As she hurried downstairs, she barely reached the lobby when she saw a middle-aged woman sitting on a couch, wearing the latest Kou Yi suit, basking under her sunglasses, and exuding dominance with crossed legs. Standing next to her was a bodyguard in a black suit. It was indeed her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yang Mogui.
Lu Weixi had never expected to see Mrs. Yang here. After collecting herself, she went up to greet her, “You’ve arrived.”
Yang Mogui took a sip of the green tea on the table, from a famous brand of teabag, “Is it something bought from the supermarket for twenty yuan a pound? How could this be served to guests?”
Xiaochen even dared to correct her, “It’s twenty yuan a box.”
Lu Weixi immediately dismissed Xiaochen and approached, “Did you come to see me because something important has come up?”
Yang Mogui glanced back at her daughter-in-law, dressed in a white suit with a pair of white shoes, nothing from a famous brand, just straightforward mall merchandise. With such an inconspicuous outfit, she could be easily lost in the crowd. No wonder her son didn’t like her.
She frowned slightly but didn’t comment, standing straight away, “Come with me.”
Lu Weixi was a bit stunned. She was still at work, she couldn’t just leave. She hesitated, but was aware of Mrs. Yang Mogui’s assertive personality, “Can you wait for a moment? I need to ask for leave from my boss.”
Yang Mogui turned around, her eyes showed mild annoyance but she said nothing, just nodded then took the lead to walk out.
Lu Weixi immediately ran up to inform her boss about the situation, luckily the project she was working on permitted her a few days to deliver. If any orders came in later, she would ask Xiaochen to make appointments for her, she would be back soon. Xiaochen looked puzzled, “That woman is so fierce. Just like the wicked mother-in-law who oppresses the daughter-in-law in TV dramas.”
Isn’t she just like the stereotypical wealthy wife who would pay the innocent heroine to leave her precious son? Fortunately, she came from a decent background, so even though her parents had divorced and she fell into hardships, at least she was not from an anonymous family. Otherwise, she could have been the first one to be dismissed.
Lu Weixi said nothing, immediately packed up and left.
When Lu Weixi reached the car, Yang Mogui was already in the backseat. Seeing her slow pace, she seemed a bit annoyed. But when Lu Weixi met her gaze, she compared it subconsciously, they really were mother and son, the expressions of disdain were identical.
To be honest, Lu Weixi didn’t interact much with Yang Mogui. Before their marriage, she was Qin Zhisu’s girlfriend and spent more time with Kong Jie. Kong Jie was quite proud of his prestigious background, and was gentler. Meanwhile, Yang Mogui was not often in the country for most of the year, and initially saw her as an enemy, then later just as an indifferent daughter-in-law. Her personality was a lot like Qin Zhiyou’s, who, apart from currying favor with their patriarch, generally disliked talking and looked disdainful. Fortunately, they didn’t interact much and she meddled less in her and Qin Zhiyou’s affairs.
Both of them were in the backseat, Yang Mogui laying back with her eyes closed, and she was head down chatting with a client, neither spoke a word. It was only when the driver parked the car and announced, “We’ve arrived”, that they emerged from their silence. Lu Weixi looked up, a bit confused, “Where are we?”
“The hospital, for your body to get some therapy, to help you get pregnant
sooner..”
