Chapter 534: Mother-in-law Is Here (2)

This was the first time she had addressed someone else as her mother, and in such an awkward situation, she could not help but stammer.
Meng Yueman, who was talking to Ling Wei, looked over.
When she met her gaze, Mu Huan became even more nervous. She stood there, as if she had been called over by her teacher for the first time in her childhood. She felt uneasy and uncomfortable.
“M-hm.” Meng Yueman had sized Mu Huan up and down before lightly acknowledging her.
Mu Huan: “…”
What should she say in this situation? What should she say?
Should she say something or just stand quietly by the side?
Or…
In front of people who cared about your loved ones, one would always be extra cautious. When it was their first time meeting, they especially didn’t know what to talk about. If they were to start talking, it might turn out to be too much of a mistake. If they didn’t, they would appear rude.
Especially since her mother-in-law did not seem to have any intention of chatting with her.
Mu Huan stood there awkwardly.
Just then, Bo Junyan returned.
He frowned when he saw Meng Yueman. “Mom, why did you suddenly come back? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
Mu Huan looked at Bo Junyan in shock.
Did he not know that his mother was coming back?
“I made a last-minute decision, so I didn’t tell you,” Meng Yueman said lightly.
“Where’s Dad?”
“Your father needs another three days of treatment before this treatment is completed. He will be back on the day before your cousin’s father-in-law’s funeral.”
“Oh.” Bo Junyan did not say anything else. He walked to Mu Huan’s side and lowered his head to kiss her. Then, he said, “You just came back, right?”
“Yes.”
“There’s the smell of medicine from the lab on your body. Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes before coming down,” Bo Junyan said as he caressed her head.
Mu Huan: “…”
If there’s a smell, then don’t say it! If you say it out loud, I’d be embarrassed!
However, thinking that this was a good excuse for her to leave temporarily and make preparations, she was still very grateful to her husband.
Hence, she looked at Meng Yueman. “Mom… I’ll go up first.”
“Hm.” Meng Yueman once again gave a faint hum.
Compared to her intimate conversation with the others, her attitude toward Mu Huan was obviously much colder.
Mu Huan could sense it, but she knew that Ling Wei had grown up knowing Meng Yueman. In the past, the two families had agreed on a marriage. Her mother-in-law must have treated Ling Wei as her daughter-in-law, especially since her mother-in-law and Ling Wei’s mother were good friends.
She liked Ling Wei a lot, so she was very sure of her!
And Mu Huan, on the other hand, was only a person she had met for the first time. There was no way she could be enthusiastic about her.
Hence, Mu Huan didn’t think too much about it. All she wanted was to hurry up and tidy herself up.
After Mu Huan went up, Meng Yueman looked at Bo Junyan.
“She dated Chenyi before?”
“She’d simply agreed to Chenyi’s pursuit. They never even held hands. It’s not considered a relationship.” Bo Junyan didn’t think that that was considered a relationship.
“But Chenyi still likes her.”
“That’s Chenyi’s business.”
“What about her? Does she still like Chenyi?”
“No.”
“Are you sure? After all, the two of you have an age gap. When I saw her coming in just now, I thought that a high school student had gone to the wrong place.” Meng Yueman had seen Mu Huan’s photo. She looked rather small in the photo, but Meng Yueman did not expect her to actually be even smaller.
“Mom, you and Dad have an age gap,” Bo Junyan reminded her.
Mr. Bo got married late, only getting married when he was 34. Meng Yueman was only 22 years old, making the two of them 12 years apart in age.
