Exclusive Property: Mr. Mu's Favorite-Chapter 276 - The Madam's banquet.
Chapter 276 - The Madam's banquet.
“Madam?” Ning Xiaofei was a bit confused. “Which lady?”
“It’s Mr. Mu’s mother, your mother-in-law.”
Mother-in-law?
Ning Xiaofei held the earpiece and was stunned for a full five seconds before she reacted to the significance of what this title represented.
It was a bit surprising that the Madam who had never appeared for so long had suddenly appeared.
“Then… Will Tianye be there as well?”
“Do I have to ask him for permission to see you?”
On the other side of the handset, it was suddenly replaced by a woman’s voice.
Objectively speaking, the voice was very pleasant to the ear, but… that strong tone was very uncomfortable.
Ning Xiaofei was speechless. It was true that Mu Tianye’s mother was so powerful.
The ugly daughter-in-law always had to meet her in-laws. This hurdle, sooner or later, she couldn’t avoid it. She wouldn’t miss a piece of flesh seeing her.
And, then again, she was curious about this mysterious mother-in-law.
“I didn’t mean that, don’t get me wrong.”
“Tangyun Tea House.” The other party just tossed an address. “Be there by six o’clock. I don’t like to wait for people!”
Then the phone was hung up.
What a mother and son. They did things in the same style.
Ning Xiaofei secretly slandered. She lifted her wrist to look at her watch and saw that the time was already five o’clock. She immediately jumped up from her chair in a hurry.
“Ye Qiao, I have to leave a bit urgently.”
She was in the East Third Road, while Tangyun Teahouse was in the West Second Road. It was high time to leave work, so if she didn’t want to be late, she must speed up.
She took a windy flight downstairs, stopped a taxi, and rushed to Tangyun Teahouse. As a result, she inevitably encountered traffic. When she arrived at the building, it was already five fifty.
Reporting her name, Ning Xiaofei followed the tea house waiter upstairs to a private room, where the wall clock in the corridor pointed to exactly six o’clock.
Upon entering, there was a curling wisp of smoke from the incense burner on the antique tea table.
There sat at the table a middle-aged woman in plain cheongsam with her long hair styled high, a well-kept finger flicking a purple tea teapot, a thin wrist with bright jade bracelet… elegant, beautiful and graceful.
At a glance, Ning Xiaofei was also astonished. No wonder Mu Tianye had that kind of temperament and appearance.
Knowing that she was a little late, Ning Xiaofei quickly compensated with a smile.
“I’m sorry. I was caught in the traffic.”
Mother Mu seemed to be concentrating on making tea without raising her eyelids.
Lin Zifan, the assistant standing behind her, came over and invited Ning Xiaofei over to sit across the tea table.
Across the table, Mother Mu slowly brewed tea with water.
“Do you know what kind of tea this is?”
The tea was still in the pot. Unable to see or touch it, Ning could only speculate.
Looking at the purple teapot on the tea table, Ning Xiaofei thought. “You’re using a flat short purple teapot, I guess… it could be oolong tea, is it?”
“I couldn’t tell, you know tea too.” Mother Mu faintly raised her lips. “Then, do you know why oolong tea uses this kind of pot?”
“This teapot is short and has a high temperature inside the pot, making it suitable for brewing oolong tea.”
Previously, Ning Xiaofei’s mother also loved tea. Despite her hardships in life, she still kept up her hobby of drinking tea, something that she taught her daughter.
“That’s right.” Mother Mu put down the kettle in her hand. “What kind of tea goes with what kind of kettle. If you use the right one, the tea that comes out of it will be good. This is the way of tea. What kind of man matches what kind of woman, when paired, life will be happy. This is the way of man. Do you think that you are worthy of our Tianye?”
