The Mafia King's First Love Chapter 275 – Meeting The Mother-in-law

Jiang Weizhe slightly widened his eyes and hurriedly walked over to his wife’s side before she could reveal anything. “Yubi.”

He blocked Lihua’s sight with his back. He held Jiang Yubi’s shoulders and whispered, “Yubi. I know what you want to say. I will… explain it later.”

She blinked her eyes in confusion.

“But for now, just know that her name is Lixue.”

“Lixue? But she is Song Lihua.”

He said nothing and averted his gaze.

Jiang Yubi carefully observed her husband and she faintly felt a trace of hesitation in his expression. She wondered what he was hiding.

“Alright…”

He softly smiled. “En.”

Lihua craned her neck and wondered what they were whispering. She cried, feeling aggrieved.

Are they gossiping how stupid of a daughter-in-law I am to barge in their cozy time? What did you do, Lixue?

Jiang Weizhe smiled and said, “Come here.”

Lihua coughed and slowly stepped forward. She finally took the courage to look at her mother-in-law and her lips parted in shock, seeing how beautiful she was. Jiang Yubi was in her forties but even at that age, she looked extremely elegant and graceful. When she compared her and Wei, it was obvious that he had taken most of his features in the looks department from his father, but indeed, there were a few similarities between the mother and son.

“You are so pretty…” she subconsciously said

Jiang Yubi looked at her in surprise.

Lihua snapped out from her stupor. “I-I mean I am not praising you just to…I really mean it!”

Jiang Weizhe nodded. “En. Yubi is the most beautiful woman in this universe.”

She blushed hard. “Weizhe…she is our daughter-in-law…”

“But it is the truth,” he tilted his head.

Somehow Lihua instantly saw herself in Jiang Yubi and it clicked her.

So, Wei got his buttery flirting skills from Dad!

They never failed to praise their wives be it anywhere.

Jiang Yubi coughed and diverted her gaze to Lihua. She beamed in joy as this was the first time she was seeing her. Last time, she had only seen her afar from the car outside the grocery store.

She eagerly held her hands and looked at her up and down. “You are not any less pretty. I can see why Wei fell for you. I am so happy to meet you.”

Lihua slightly blushed. “Thank you…um, can I call you, Mom?”

Jiang Yubi stared at her as the corner of her eyes slightly stung. “Y-Yes of course!”

It had been a long time since somebody had addressed her as that. She quickly wiped her tears and said, “Wait here! I will bring you some tea and snacks.”

Lihua froze.

Ah shit! This is the first time I am meeting Mom. Shouldn’t I have brought something for her as a gift?

She inwardly bit her tongue hard and wanted to disappear from this place.

Damn it! I am an idiot. I should have brought some food that I personally cooked. I would have scored brownie points if she would have gotten a taste of my awesome food.

Little did Lihua know that her cooking skills would have been a disaster instead of making her score any kind of points. But somehow even if she had never cooked after her memory loss, she had immense confidence that she was a great chef. It was a mystery why she thought like that. She just did.

Fortunately, today wasn’t the day that her illusion was supposed to shatter.

As she left, Lihua heavily pursed her lips. “Dad! I didn’t bring any gift for Mom! I should have greeted her with something as this is our first meeting.”

Jiang Weizhe curiously looked at her. “Really?”

“En! Will she think bad of me?” She was anxious. “I mean I already intruded upon your *ahem* and now I am being rude coming empty-handed.”

He chuckled. “Don’t worry. Yubi doesn’t mind such stuff. She is just happy to know that you came to meet her.”

“R-really?”

“Trust me.”

Jiang Yubi stepped in, bringing a tray with her. Lihua quickly helped her put it down on the table.

She took a sip of the tea and brightened. “It’s delicious! Em and this cookies are yummy!”

Jiang Yubi smiled. “I am glad you like it.”

“Yubi is an excellent chef,” Jiang Weiyuan proudly smiled.

She furiously nodded.

Jiang Yubi stared at her and hesitatingly said, “You…Why did you come here though?”

“Of course to meet my mother-in-law! In fact,” she seemed guilty, “I should apologize that I couldn’t meet you earlier.”

“Oh no no. I didn’t mean it that way. I also know that you have been working hard these months in helping all the family members and I am really proud of you.”

Her gaze dimmed. “I just asked because…Old Madam has forbidden anybody to meet me…”

Lihua blinked her eyes. “Well Old Madam had forbidden a lot of stuff but I broke through each one of them anyway. A rule to not meet you wouldn’t have stopped me,” she said as she was busy chomping upon the cookies.

She widened her eyes and stared at her in disbelief. But then a chuckle escaped her lips. “That’s quite an argument you have. I just don’t want you to fall into any trouble with Old Madam.”

She grinned. “I have had clashes with her so many times now that I have lost count. One more wouldn’t change anything hehe…”

“…”

My daughter-in-law is really something…

Jiang Weizhe kissed her forehead and said, “I will leave now for the office. You two continue.”

“En.”

He looked at Lihua and a soft smile curled his lips again. More than Jiang Yubi, he was happy to see her here today. Nobody had initiated to meet her before so that they wouldn’t offend Old Madam.

But Lihua didn’t care about any of that. He patted her head and left.

Lihua said, “Oh yes. I am sorry I didn’t come with Wei. Technically, I should have come with him to meet you but he left early in the morning. But don’t worry! Tomorrow, I will come with him.”

Jiang Yubi stiffened. “With Wei?”
