Married to his secret crush

Chapter 261 - Father And Mother-in-law



"The last time we met, I could not have guessed that the campus belle of Imperial University is in fact the CEO of Rosette. Nice to meet you, President Leanne," She extended her hand towards her, "I am Han Jingyi."

Her expressions faltered slightly. Han? Yu Mei blankly stared at her for a few moments before shaking her hand, "Miss Han, I was initially surprised to see you here," More surprised at the lack of her cakey makeup, high heels, and that traditionally elegant long dress.

??

"Huh? To be honest, I am very close to Grandma," Han Jingyi glanced at the old lady sitting on the couch before looking back at Yu Mei, ''Have you known it all this time?"

"Know what?" Yu Mei asked knowingly. She noticed how this woman was showing off her close relations with the Jun Family in front of her.

"That… Zixuan is the CEO of Eminence?" Han Jingyi could feel her nerves shaking just at the mention of it. The super-hot fiancé whom she thought is an useless trash is not just the most handsome man she has ever seen. He is now the most powerful man she could ever come across.

"Of course, I knew," Yu Mei rolled her eyes, "My baby never hides anything from me," With a not so gentle stab on Han Jingyi's heart, Yu Mei walked upstairs sparing one glance in the direction of the fuming grandma with a super cool bob haircut.

Han Jingyi's face darkened slightly.

"Jingyi, come here. You don't need to approach such mannerless wild people," Old Madam Jun's voice snapped her out of her reverie.

Han Jingyi schooled her expressions before walking back to her.

While Yu Mei was on her way to her room, she bumped into Jun Zishen who was seemingly pacing in front of the door.

"Father?" She marveled at how easily it slipped off her mouth. Maybe she was obsessed with the idea of sharing things with Jun Zixuan.

Jun Zishen raised his head to look at her. His eyes widened slightly at the way she addressed him. Initially, he thought she was joking before but the girl now looks very serious about it. Shaking his head, he opened his mouth to speak, "There is something I want to discuss with you."

Yu Mei nodded, "Sure."

"Let's talk in my study."

Yu Mei followed after him as he took her towards the elevator in the manor. She never really looked around this place but given its extravagance, she was bound to miss a few things here and there.

And when the door opened, she was greeted by the sight of huge bookshelves and the vast expanse of the library. Towards the ceiling, there was another hanging bookshelf that had books in it that resembled ancient books. It must be the Royal Family archives. She concluded.

Even though the Royal Family was on its decline in the current days but they still had the blue blood running in their veins which was not something to be underestimated.

There was a time when the whole Amaranthine was solely dominated by the power of the Royal Family. But there was a shift in the balance of power when her brother took over the throne of the President of the country ten years ago.

He did not show his face to the public but the people in power were all aware of almost everything about him, except for the fact that he had a younger sister. Due to him being very young at that time, he was not taken seriously by anyone but over the course of time, he was the one dominating the country while the royal family kept losing their influence.

By the time they realized he was not to be taken as a joke anymore, her brother had strongly established his foothold in the country.

Still, the Jun Family's control over the country was not shaken that easily until Eminence came in the picture in the picture, sending the royalty on its decline.

She watched as Jun Zishen removed a particular book from the third shelf and it glided upwards revealing the entrance to another room which she concluded was the study.

Royalty do have a impeccable taste for things. She concluded, looking at the grand study with its elaborated exquisiteness. Even a flower vase was antique.

Jun Zishen walked towards the other side of the Mahogany desk to take a seat while he pointed his palm towards the chair in front.

Yu Mei nodded before taking a seat. "Is this discussion going to be about your son?"

''Or more about his mother," came the man's immediate reply.

"Ah, about my dear mother-in-law?" She raised an eyebrow, not expecting this plot twist.

"Yes," Jun Zishen paused as his brows tugged together, "Since you call me Father, shouldn't you address her as mother?"

"No," Yu Mei waved her hand quickly, "She can only be a mother to her Prince. To me, she is that particular television soap vamp of a mother-in-law with big eyes and a scheming smile," She could feel goosebumps just at the thought of it. She had been tricked by Shen Lihua too many times to think of her as a gentle and innocent woman, "Anyway, don't be offended because I talked bad about your wif… ex-wife," She smiled.

"Wife," Jun Zishen's face darkened as he ran his fingers through his ash blonde hair, "We have never divorced."

He was frustrated and conflicted. She concluded given that Jun Zixuan usually did this at such times. Moreover, his expressions were pretty revealing.

"Well, aren't you surprised about your son's identity?" She sleekly diverted the topic. Some great people have once said, when you don't know how to deal with the situation, just pick up your gown and run away.

Even though this so-called person might just be her.

"No, I knew about it," Jun Zishen replied, much to her astonishment.

"How?" She asked, thinking back to the time when she got to know about the Jun Family from Jun Zixuan. He told her that his father has sent him the Crystal Card in which he sends money every month for him.

If he knew who he was, then what was the need of doing all that?

Moreover, how did he know about it in the first place?

Her brows tugged together.
