章 138: YIELD, MENG BAO!

"Ah, so it's you, Secretary Shi," she said. "You're the one who influenced my son to lower his standard to accept you."

I glanced at Meng Bao, who was speechless when his mother came. Though, I kind of guessed it already. If there was Li Daiyu who interrupted our proposal, that meant Madam Yang must've also been here. 

Because Mr. Yang said that Madam Yang preferred Li Daiyu a lot to be her daughter-in-law. 

Meng Bao was about to open his mouth, but I hold him and stopped him from speaking any unnecessary stuff. I pushed him to stand behind me, and I politely bowed my head in front of Madam Evelynn Yang.

"Welcome to my humble house, Madam," I said.

"I can see the humbleness, indeed," Madam Evelynn Yang replied with a jab. She looked down at the tea that was prepared for her on the table. "The teacup is also quite humble. I'm not sure what kind of tea leaves are used in this. I refuse to taste it."
