Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 71 - He Is A Keeper

Chapter 71 - He Is A Keeper

Xu Mey's past made her a selfish person. She never thought of herself to be selfless. Other than a few people in her life, n.o.body gave her a reason to be selfless. Mother Ye was like her in this aspect. Mother Ye was selfish when it came to her family. But unlike Xu Mey, Mother Ye made her selfishness to turn into a storm inside of her. And now that exact storm was destroying her own inner peace.

With a filial, obedient, and most importantly, astute son like Ye Jie, one could hardly not want to be selfish. But it doesn't explain the fact that why doesn't she want to see her own son happy?

Xu Mey shook her head to get rid of all these thoughts. 'It's all Sensei's fault!' She groaned and looked at the long forgotten laptop in her lap. There were plenty of emails waiting to be read but a particular one caught her attention.

It was from the CEO of Glow Gemstones- It was gemstones dealing company with mines in different countries. The company was not old but it had a very strong footing in the business world. Xu Mey's Vintage Gems started their collaboration about a year ago. Although Xu Mey stopped involving herself with the gem collection department she knew about Glow Gemstones.

The t.i.tle of the mail was: 'Jade Stones deal plan for CoCo Jewels'

She squinted her eyes and clicked on the email. It read:

'President Xu,

I've heard about how Jade Stones s.n.a.t.c.hed the CoCo Jewels deal from Vintage. And I know the way, they did it. I've attached their collaboration plan. You should take a look and devise a suitable counterattack. I believe in President Xu's capabilities. The only thing I ask of you is to make sure that Jade Stones loses its credibility. If you need me for anything, please feel free to contact.

Jacob, CEO of Glow Gemstones.'

"Interesting... Very Interesting..." Xu Mey commented with a beguiled smile gracing her beautiful cherry lips.

Having friends in the business world was quite hard but having enemies was too easy. Like sometimes, your mere existence makes you the subject of dislike. We might find friends after looking through the whole city but we'll find at least one enemy at every other corner.

For Xu Mey, it was not surprising that someone wanted to help her in crus.h.i.+ng the Jade Stones but she was more curious about what did Fu Lan or Xu Liqing did to offend Glow Gemstones. In just 5 years, this company controlled most of the gemstone market in the entire country. Offending them was like suicide for a jewellery designing company like Jade Stones.

Because every jewellery needs precious gems or stones and Glow Gemstones already held control over that. In the future, if Jade Stones wanted gems, they'll have to look for overseas companies. And that will need extra resources and money. Suddenly Jade Stones seemed very pitiful to Xu Mey and she couldn't help but click her tongue at their future miserable state.

But Xu Mey didn't need Glow Gemstones help in making Jade Stones miserable at all. She had done her homework very well. But to reject someone's kindness was not a good gesture. So she wrote a reply to that email.

'Mr. Jacob,

I've received your email which is rather interesting. Although I'm delighted to know that you're trying to help Vintage. But I don't need their collaboration plan to destroy them. First, I don't like underhanded deals and second, because Jade Stones destruction is my responsibility. I can only a.s.sure you that by the end of the next week, Jade Stones shares will be in the ditch.

I'll make sure of that.

President Xu of Vintage Gems'

She sent the email and shut the laptop. Ye Jie came back to the room and saw her putting the laptop on the side table. "Didn't I tell you to rest?"

Xu Mey looked at him and scratched the back of her head sheepishly. "I had some work." She replied in an uncertain way.

Ye Jie sighed and headed to his side of the bed. "Are you scared?" He asked while laying down.

Remembering how she had her head buried in his chest in the morning, a blush tinted her ear red. "Nope... I'm fine." She replied hastily.

Ye Jie saw her embarra.s.sed state with delightful expression. He sn.a.k.e.d his arm around her waist pulling her to his own body saying, "We shouldn't take any risk."

Xu Mey was again buried in his chest as his heartbeat felt like soothing music to her. Easing her body and taking away the pain she felt in her muscles. Her weariness took over and she fell asleep instantly.

"I really don't know what's wrong with mom so suddenly. But don't worry, I'll make her like you at all cost and if I can't, then I'll make sure to stand by your side." Ye Jue spoke softly unbeknownst to the fact that she was already asleep. When he felt her steady breathing, he looked down at her face pressed against his heart and couldn't help but smile. "Good night, my dear wife!" He kissed the top of her head and hugged her even closer to his body before closing his eyes.

The next morning, as usual, both of them had small interactions during the breakfast which was prepared by the maid. Ye Jie asked Qu NaNa to stay back last night because he didn't want Xu Mey to do any work at all. But he knew, she was not going to avoid her office work just like him.

The unusual thing was the parcel that came early in the morning for Xu Mey. Ye Jie received the parcel from a young man who looked very familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered, the young man came to his wedding with a gift for Xu Mey and today he had a parcel for her.

"Sir, pa.s.s this on to Ms. Xu, " He said politely extending his hands to pa.s.s the parcel to Ye Jie. Ye Jie took the parcel and said,

"I will."

After he closed the door, he looked at the parcel which was actually a wooden box with an intricate design of turtle doves on the cover. The design was so beautifully carved that Ye Jie had the urge to know which artist designed it.

As Xu Mey came to the living room, she saw Ye Jie looking closely at the box in his hand. Noticing her presence, he said, "This came for you." He pa.s.sed her the box.

She held it with a curious expression but seeing the turtle doves at the top, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face. She instantly opened the box. She didn't hide the content from Ye Jie.

There were pouches filled with herbs neatly placed inside and a small note was underneath. Xu Mey pulled it out and read it,

"Boil the herbs and drink them before sleeping. It'll calm your senses and help you with sleeping.

Although I don't care about what your mother-in-law is like, I do care about you. Stop trying to impress others. And stop saying you turned your heart into a metal.

Even the hearts made of metal have to burn in the presence of fire inside of us. And the fire of revenge you have will only burn you.

So, instead of burning yourself, try sharing with your husband. Let me tell you, HE IS A KEEPER!!!"

There was no one the note was addressed to and even the sender's name was not written. But how could Xu Mey not know the unique style of her Sensei? But what surprised her was the last sentence. It was very rare for her Sensei to say something nice for anybody. That person only knew how to find faults. But today, the compliment was for Ye Jie, her own husband. She really had no idea what her Sensei was thinking while writing this note.
