YM778.TV Chapter 183 - You Know Her?
Xu Mey came to see the big parcel in Azalea’s hand and frowned. Xu Mey stretched out her hand and Azalea immediately passed the parcel to her. Xu Mey turned it over but found no specific detail. She peeled the wrapping paper off and was stunned by the content before her.
"Wow! It’s your wedding album!" Azalea said behind her and broke her trance.
It was indeed a customized wedding album of 12x8 horizontal and 8x12 vertical layout. The cover photo featured a simple photo of Xu Mey and Ye Jie’s left hand’s side by side, showing off their wedding rings and the only text on the cover was: ’Mr. Rain & Mrs. Cherry’.
"Sis, turn it over." Listening to Azalea, Xu Mey turned the album over and on the back side was a black and white photo of both Xu Mey and Ye Jie while holding hands.
Azalea was so excited that she pulled Ye Jie out of his study as well and made him sit beside Xu Mey while she sat on Xu Mey’s other side.
Xu Mey turned every page with so many emotions that she couldn’t describe. Oddly, Ye Jie made sure that there were no pictures of Xu Liqing or Fu Lan in the album just because he didn’t want her to be upset.
Each photo was taken with unique styles and it portrayed the wedding beautifully. Xu Mey looked at Ye Jie and asked, "When did you-?" She couldn’t continue as her throat felt choked up.
"It’s quite late in my opinion but you see, I couldn’t decide the style. I had to look through hundreds of designs and finally, I decided this one. As for when? I was planning this before the wedding of course." He smiled making her smile in return.
Xu Mey hugged his neck saying, "Thank you, Ah-Jie!"
"I’m glad that you like it." He replied while Azalea coughed a bit at the side making them pull away.
"It’s not like I don’t want you guys to hug but I need someone to introduce me to everyone in these photos," Azalea said a bit guiltily.
"I need to do some work, so, baby talk to her," Ye Jie kissed the top of Xu Mey’s head and left them. Xu Mey excitedly pointed at each photo and telling Azalea about it.
In the end, Azalea sighed heavily. "I really wish that I was there." Xu Mey saw her sad look and hugged her shoulders saying,
"So what if you didn’t see our wedding? You’ll get to see our whole life journey that too at the front row." Azalea was convinced with Xu Mey’s words.
"Sis, you’re really amazing," Azalea remarked happily.
Xu Mey was talking to Azalea when her cell phone rang and caught her attention. She looked at the caller id and answered the call, "Hello, Auntie!"
"Hey, Xiao Mey! Are you busy?" He Jian’s mother, Zhu Qinyang asked from the other side.
Xu Mey gazed at Azalea and replied, "Not really... Just checking through my wedding album."
"Really?" Zhu Qinyang was pleasantly surprised. "Xiao Mey, how about you come over and bring that album as well. Since I couldn’t come to your wedding, I really want to see those photos."
"Huh? Oh... Okay! Give me a sec, I’ll ask Ah-Jie about it." Xu Mey said.
"Okay. Come soon!" Zhu Qinyang hung up the call.
Azalea gave Xu Mey a questioning look and Xu Mey explained, "Your Aunt wants to see the photos."
"Auntie Qin-Qin?" Azalea inquired and Xu Mey nodded in reply. "Wow! I thought Auntie only knew how to scowl."
"You don’t like her?"
"No, no... I love her but I’m just a bit scared of her." Azalea confessed.
Xu Mey looked around and leaned a bit towards Azalea to whisper, "Don’t tell anyone but even I’m scared of her a bit." Both of them burst out laughing.
"Ah-Jie!" Xu Mey came to Ye Jie’s study and asked, "Can you give me one of your cars?"
"They are yours. Why do you want my permission?" Ye Jie replied looking at his documents. "Are you going somewhere?"
"Yeah... Auntie Qin-Qin asked me to bring my wedding album for her." Ye Jie nodded and threw his car keys towards her which she caught easily.
"Drive safely and be back soon." Ye Jie called out behind her.
Xu Mey happily skipped out of the house and drove Ye Jie’s Porsche to the military compound.
Zhu Qinyang was already waiting for her in the garden eagerly and looking at Xu Mey, she smiled dotingly. "Xiao Mey!" She hugged Xu Mey tightly as she came closer.
Xu Mey looked behind Zhu Qinyang at He Susu and smiled politely saying, "Hi, Aunt Su!"
"Hello to you too, Xiao Mey!" He Susu greeted Xu Mey with the same enthusiasm as Zhu Qinyang.
When both women brought Xu Mey inside, she was served with different delicacies. Xu Mey didn’t mind at all and ate with pleasure as she opened the album for them to see.
The first comment that she received was from He Susu, "Xiao Mey, you looked gorgeous at your wedding."
"Our Xiao Mey is already gorgeous. And it was given that she’d be ethereal in her wedding dress." Zhu Qinyang chimed in as if praising her own daughter.
Xu Mey could only listen like an idiot, stuck between them. She really couldn’t digest all the praises that too said with so much love.
"Look here, both of them are so perfect with each other." Zhu Qinyang was talking to He Susu who was also nodding in return.
"Sis, look here," this time He Susu shifted Zhu Qinyang’s attention towards a certain photo. Both women were immersed in praising the photos while Xu Mey was busy with dim-sum before her.
"Sis isn’t that-" He Susu looked at Zhu Qinyang with a frown as she pointed at a photo.
Xu Mey looked at both of them who were looking oddly at the photo. "I think it is her," Zhu Qinyang agreed with her.
Xu Mey just placed a wanton in her mouth when both He Susu and Zhu Qinyang looked at her. Xu Mey chewed in a hurry and asked, "What’s wrong, Auntie?"
"Xiao Mey, who’s this?" Zhu Qinyang shifted the album before Xu Mey to get a better look.
"Oh, that’s my mother-in-law," when she said it, there was a bitterness in Xu Mey’s voice.
"Ha? Zhou Ning is your mother-in-law?" Xu Mey instantly dropped the chopsticks on the table and looked at He Susu.
"You know her?" Xu Mey asked.
