Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 39 She is a rival?

Lei Zhao and Yan Mei turned when they heard the voice.

"Miss Tang," Lei Zhao replied curtly.

Tang Wei looked at Yan Mei and furrowed her brows. Even as a woman, she had to admit, Yan Mei is one of the most beautiful women she has ever seen. Her indifferent and cold temperament added a special touch to her.

"Brother Zhao, this is—" Tang Wei asked.

"My wife. I thought Miss Tang already knew."

Tang Wei dug her nails in her palm when she heard him.

"Wifey, let's go."

Yan Mei nodded as she turned to look at the woman. She can see the hate in her eyes. An amused glint passed through her eyes.

'She likes Lei Zhao?'

"Miss Tang, we have to leave first since my wife is hungry."

Lei Zho nodded slightly and entered the restaurant with Yan Mei. Tang Wei looked at their backs, and her eyes were slightly reddish. She had long heard that Lei Zhao had gotten married but she didn't believe it.

How can he get married to someone else!? They have known each other for years but he still calls her Miss Tang. First, it was that bitch Yun Zhou and now this woman. Does he like these types of girls?

Lei Zhao pushed a chair for Yan Mei and she smiled at him, taking her seat. The waiters came to take their orders the moment they got settled. The restaurant was a small restaurant that had a homely feel to it.

"Lei Zhao," she called out his name and looked at him with a "you-better-tell-me-who-that-woman-was" look.

Lei Zhao smirked and cleared his throat.

"Wifey."

Yan Mei lifted a leg over her thigh, leaning against her chair with her hands crossed against her chest.

"So, who was that? If I don't know better, I would say she is a rival?"

Lei Zhao took a deep breath, grinning.

"Are you jealous, Wifey? I won't talk to other women."

Yan Mei rolled her eyes and looked around the restaurant.

"She is Tang Wei. She is not really important… just my aunt's adopted child. She saved my cousin Li Wei when they were kids, so his family adopted her. Don't care about her."

Yan Mei inwardly sighed in relief. She doesn't know why, but the mere thought that woman might be close to Lei Zhao irritated her.

"Oh," she muttered, making Lei Zhao chuckled slightly at her.

"Wifey, you're cute."

Yan Mei flushed, trying to compose herself. The waiter brought the food and Yan Mei ignored Lei Zhao as she devoured her food. Lei Zhao watched her with slight amusement. He loved watching her eat. She looked different from her usual aloof self when she is eating.

She was like any typical foodie, too, engrossed in her food while forgetting where she is. Lei Zhao lowered his head, returning to his own dishes. He picked the braised pork on his plate and placed it on her plate. Yan Mei looked at him stunned. Lei Zhao smiled softly at her with a spoilt look on his face. Yan Mei's heart skipped her beat when she saw his eyes filled with love.

"So, what does your family do? Your parents don't seem like ordinary people," Yan Mei asked as she tried to hide her discomfort.

"Yeah, my mother is a famous scientist but she is really low key and my father is the CEO of Thorn Inc., the leading oil company in the country. My brother was also had multiple companies in the states."

Yan Mei was slightly stunned when she heard him. His family is that rich? Wait, the Lei family!

The Lei family is one of the top three families in city S. When she arrived, she did some investigations about the power in this country. But she thought the Lei family wasn't a threat to her, so she just glanced at a little information and didn't pay attention.

"I thought you did a background check on me before agreeing to marry me."

Yan Mei shook her head and said, "I trust my grandfather. I know he did, and he is friends with your old man Lei too."

Lei Zhao nodded.

"What do you mean your brother had multiples companies in the states? What happened to the companies?"

"I took over," Lei Zhao said with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes though. Yan Mei nodded.

"What about him, where is he?"

"He is…"

Lei Zhao couldn't finish his words as a kid who was running around ran into their table. The small bowl containing soup on their table tilted and was about to fall down. Fortunately, Yan Mei's eyes were faster. She quickly pushed the kid, and the soup fell on the floor. A few drops of it spilled on the child's hand.

Due to the fright, the kid cried out aloud which alarmed the waiter and his mother. The mother hurriedly picked up the child and saw the blisters on his hand. She angrily turned to Yan Mei.

"How can you push my child like that! What if he had gotten hurt?"

Yan Mei looked coldly at the woman and said indifferently.

"If I hadn't pushed away your son, believe it or not, the soup would have spilled on him. It's not my fault you're a reckless and a bad mother who left her son to run around in a restaurant."

"Who are you calling a bad and reckless mother," the woman screeched in anger.

"You, of course. Do you see any clown apart from you here?"

A sly grin appeared on Yan Mei's face. She really hated these kinds of women who didn't pay attention to their kids and focus on looking good in high society.

Lei Zhao looked at his wife and shook his head helplessly. Every time she has that look on her face, he knew someone was about to get in trouble.

"You shameless woman! You dare to call me a clown? Do you know who I am?"

Yan Mei snorted and sipped her wine. Looking at the unfazed look on her face, the woman felt her blood boiling. Ever since she became the mistress of the Zhao family and gave birth to a son, everyone in the high society respected her and some tried to flatter her with pleasant words so she thought she was already the hostess of the Zhao family.

"If you don't kneel and apologize to me while I am in a good mood, don't think about leaving this place," the woman said as she gave her child to the woman she was eating with.

Yan Mei stood up when she heard her and turned to look at the woman.

"What did you say," Yan Mei asked with a sinister smile on her face.

She really hated being threatened, and she thought she must teach this woman a lesson for his son. If she hadn't pushed the kid away, he will probably be covered in burns now due to his mother's carelessness.

The woman couldn't help but shiver when she saw the look in Yan Mei's eyes. How can a woman have such a bloodthirsty look in her eyes and cold aura?

Thinking she can't lose her face in public, the woman lifted her high-heeled feet and kicked at Yan Mei.

Yan Mei took one step away from her and stepped to her left. Still having that sinister look on her face, she said, "You missed. Now my turn."

The woman's face became horrified. Her instinct told her this woman wasn't an ordinary woman. Suddenly she had a feeling of impending doom. Unfortunately, it was too late.

Before she could react, Yan Mei raised her leg high and kick her brutally, directed at her knee cap. Yan Mei knew kicking someone in the knee will hurt like hell and possibly cause a lot of damage.

The woman fell, withering in pain.

"Arghhhh!"

The woman was seen wailing in pain.

"Wifey, is your leg okay," Lei Zhao asked worriedly with a look of concern on her face. Yan Mei nodded her hand.

"It's just dirty. Let's go so I can take a bath."

Lei Zhao nodded and smiled. "Next time, allow me to deal with these petty works, okay?" historical

Yan Mei smiled and shook her head. The people in the restaurant look at the couple's interaction and couldn't help but cast a sorry look at the woman on the floor.

The woman gritted her teeth and tears blurred her eyes.

Lei Zhao placed money on their table and took Yan Mei's hand as they turned and walked out of the restaurant. Just as they were about to exit, Lei Zhao suddenly hugged Yan Mei from behind.

Yan Mei frowned and turned around to look at him the moment he pulled away. Lei Zhao smiled at her, but Yan Mei saw his brows furrowed.

Looking past his shoulder, she saw the look of shock and panic on the woman's face and suddenly realized what has happened.

"Lei Zhao!"

Yan Mei screamed in shock.
