C23 Lei Yunze Accept Your Fate

Lei Yunze waited until noon on Saturday before he prepared to leave the west suburbs' villa for his home. Because of that letter, Ling Xiao Yue had been in a terrible mood for the past few days. Before leaving, Lei Yunze had even asked her to accompany him properly.

"Ye Jia, you told them about my recent trip." Lei Yunze, who was sitting in the back seat, closed his eyes and rested. His words were very firm, but the expression of Ye Jia, who was driving the car, didn't change at all.

"Madam and Master told me to take good care of Director Lei."

"You'd better confess, how much did you say, or you might be heading to Africa headquarters for the regular meeting next Monday."

"I'm just telling them that you moved from the west suburbs' villa to Jin Huang's apartment and then back again."

"Anything else?"

"No, I don't need you to tell me about the matter with Director Ling. I know it's not the time to say it."

Ye Jia had been with Lei Yunze for almost a decade, and Ye Jia knew all of his desires and dislikes like the back of her hand.

"Whatever you should say, just shut up. The salary I give you every month isn't low either. There's no need to be a double agent." Lei Yunze warned him once

Ye Jia was not intimidated by Lei Yunze's words. On the contrary, she replied half-jokingly, "But, the lord and madam gave us a higher price." Then he put on his trademark smile again.

When Lei Yunze arrived at the Thunder House, Anna was watering the flowers at the door. Her long golden hair was tied into a braid, and she was wearing a long linen dress.

"Chi!" Seeing Lei Yunze, she waved at him nonstop. Lei Yunze walked up to her, and Anna threw down the flower and gave him a hug.

"Your father is in the house." After so many years in China, her Chinese was already quite good.

Pulling Lei Yunze into the room, Lei Yunze's father was sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper.

"Wei, look!"

"He's coming." In contrast to Anna's excitement, Lei Jue didn't even raise his head as he greeted her.

"Yes." Lei Yunze sat on the sofa beside him.

Anna brought the tea over, poured it for them, and sat down beside Lei Jue.

"Your father misses you. He often talks about you."

"I didn't mention him. I was talking about the company." Lei Jue immediately denied it.

"Seriously, even though I miss my son, I'm still not honest." Anna complained.

Anna was French, blonde and blue-eyed, with no resemblance whatsoever to the wholly oriental-looking Lei Yunze. Her lively and cheerful personality was also different from this old-fashioned house because she was not Lei Yunze's birth mother.

Lei Yunze's mother died when he was very young. Lei Yunze, who lived with his brother and the nanny all his life, never knew what it was like to have a mother until this woman called Anna came to his side from the other side of the ocean.

She was a translator in France who had studied Chinese during her university years and had found a job with a decent salary. She had also met this old-fashioned man. For him, Anna had resolutely left her hometown and came to live with them in China. In order to be able to take care of these two brothers of the Lei family, she hadn't had a child of her own for many years.

Lei Yunze was filled with gratitude towards Anna.

"What's for lunch? How's the steak? I saw very good beef in the market yesterday. " Anna stood up, excited as a bird.

"No need, just a simple meal will do." He reached out and pulled her toward him. Perhaps only when he spoke to her would there be a rare gentleness in his voice.

"But it's rare for Ze to come back."

"No need, just a simple meal will do." Lei Yunze didn't have much to say, so he tried to persuade her with a smile.

"You talk to Zayad, I'll go to the study." With that, Lei Jue stood up and left.

Anna moved closer to Lei Yunze and whispered to him, "Actually, your father hasn't been able to sleep well recently."

"Would you like to see a family doctor?"

"Mind your own business." Anna said in a very mysterious tone, "His mind is too preoccupied, he definitely cannot have a good rest." After saying that, she sighed helplessly.

"What happened? The company? " Lei Yunze was puzzled as well.

Anna sighed and shook her head, "It's much more serious than that."

Lei Yunze lowered his head and frowned, "What's the matter?"

"Your problem!" Anna looked as if she was disappointed, "You haven't even had a girlfriend for so many years, tell me, how could your father not feel uncomfortable?"

When Lei Yunze heard this, he instinctively retreated, wanting to avoid this topic.

"I feel like that Li family girl is pretty good, but why don't you like her?" Lei Yunze's brows trembled. She could already guess what was going on.

"Mom, I have a meeting this afternoon …"

"Gay has already told me that you have no plans this afternoon." Anna smiled slyly.

"Temporarily …"

"Unless you change into a girlfriend now, you can forget about everything else." Anna's smile was very bright, but Lei Yunze's heart was especially gloomy. So forced marriage was something that happened no matter where one went, or what kind of person they were.

"Director Lei, why don't I bring Director Ling and Nian Bing here?" Ye Jia bent down and whispered into Lei Yunze's ear.

Lei Yunze gave a wry smile. With her temper, she would have smashed the house if she did not ask Ling Xiao Yue for permission.

Lei Yunze shook his head, "Please go ahead."

Lei Yunze accepted his fate.

"Your father's old friend's daughter has returned from studying abroad. Let's meet tonight!"
