The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 258 – A surprise from the boss (3)

Yan Shuyu, being caught red-handed checking out her car with her little buddy, felt slightly embarrassed. She held onto her son and the little young master’s hands tighter and pretended to greet her as nonchalantly as possible. “Hi, Secretary Lu. What a coincidence. Do you live here as well?”

Secretary Lu seemed to feel slightly awkward as well. She looked over at Yan Shuyu, then at their little young master before she smiled and said, “This is a coincidence, indeed. What are you doing over here, Miss Yan?”

Yan Shuyu had already been embarrassed in front of Secretary Lu in the past and now, looking at her BMW and living at luxurious places, and that Yan Shuyu couldn’t even afford a 2-bedroom place, she was too embarrassed to tell the truth. Finally, she pointed at her little buddy and said, “I’m here to visit.”

That’s when Secretary Lu gave Yang Zifeng a smile. It was a polite smile, and she showed no intention of getting to know her new neighbor better. At the same time, she studied him a little and thought to herself that this man looked young and handsome, but if Miss Yan could bring two children with her to visit him, they must be close friends.

That thought made her feel better, and she said politely to Yan Shuyu, “Then you have fun. I have something else to take care of.”

Yan Shuyu, too, smiled politely. “It’s fine. Bye then.”

After Secretary Lu took off in her car, Yan Shuyu and her little buddy walked inside of the elevator. The curious Yang Zifeng stuck his head over and asked, “That’s Boss Zhou’s secretary?”

Yan Shuyu nodded. Yang Zifeng commented in a low voice. “That’s truly high and mighty.”

Shouldn’t she try to kiss up when she ran into her boss’s girlfriend?

Truth was, Yan Shuyu had picked up on that as well. She whispered to him softly. “She was quite enthusiastic the last couple times that we met.”

“You think she didn’t bother trying too hard because Boss Zhou wasn’t around?”

Yan Shuyu thought about it for a little bit and shook her head. She was quite fond of Secretary Lu. One is always envious of what one doesn’t have. Yan Shuyu has already been a pretty girl, born into a decent family, and things have always gone smoothly for her. The only thing that she lacked was ambition. Nor was she particularly outstanding and knew that she would never be a career woman. As such, she was particularly envious of these female elites. She had a very good first impression of Secretary Lu, so she was also a bit bothered by this.

“I’d say her being irked by us checking out her car was more likely. Aren’t there men who think of their cars like their lovers? Perhaps Secretary Lu, too, does not like others talking about her lover.”

Yang Zifeng tried to put himself in her shoes and could relate to that. “I guess that makes sense.”

As this wasn’t a big deal, the two of them immediately put that behind them. Most likely, Secretary Lu would move on. In the unlikely event that it still bothered her, they could always apologize next time they run into her.

Yan Shuyu didn’t give it too much thought after that. As such, when the boss came to pick her up and brought up the fact that they had ran into Secretary Lu, she was a little surprised. “Really? She needed to report that up to you as well?”

She was still a little bit worried. She wasn’t sure whether Secretary Lu was complaining behind her back or voluntarily mentioned it to the boss. She felt embarrassed in either case. =.=

When she was thinking about all sorts of random things, the boss smiled helplessly. “That was very unfortunate. I meant that to be a surprise for you.”

Yan Shuyu was baffled. “Say what?”

The boss explained nonchalantly. “You mentioned that you wanted to live in that area so I had Secretary Lu keep an eye out. She had already found a unit in that district. The remodeling was completed last month and we are working on the furniture right now. I am just about to take you there to check it out.”
