Chapter 6 Susie Fu Assists

"What! Ryan was married!" A woman in her forties suddenly stood up from the sofa. She combed her hair and put on lipstick. "When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

A man in a suit smiled awkwardly and said, "I've heard from the circle that it's been a while. Maybe he doesn't want you to worry about him..."

"No way! I have to go back to see him in person." Then she snapped her fingers and said, "Book the earliest ticket for me!"

This noble lady was the mother of Ryan, Susie Fu. She founded the YN entertainment company. Later, she handed over the company to Ryan and went to America alone. In the eyes of outsiders, she was a strong woman, but in fact, she was straightforward, yearning for freedom and comfort, and there was a young woman living in her heart, Two days later, Susie set foot on the land of China. As soon as she got off the plane, she went straight to the villa to give her baby son and daughter-in-law a surprise. At this time, Ryan was having a meeting in the company, and Melody was lying on the sofa, drinking juice and enjoying the rare weekend.

"Surprise!"

As soon as Susie entered the room, Melody was startled. She put down the juice and stood up from the sofa in a hurry. Then she stepped on the newly bought slippers and walked up to Susie.

"Hello?"

Melody greeted awkwardly. The maid stood in a row and bowed respectfully, "Welcome home, Mrs. Susie."

'Mrs. Susie?' Melody looked up and down at the fashionable woman in front of her, and at the same time, Susie was also looking at Melody. Before Melody could say anything, Susie came up to her happily and said, "You are Melody? My daughter-in-law?"

Nodding her head, Melody was sure that this was the mother of Ryan. She smiled and stammered, "Aunt... Oh, no, mom... Ryan is not at home. I... I'll call him."

"Don't worry about him. Let him go to work," said Susie. She always believed in her intuition. Her sixth sense told her that the girl in front of her who looked like quiet didn't seem to be a scheming person. Susie took Melody's hand and sat down on the sofa. "Why didn't you tell me about your marriage? I heard that you didn't even hold a wedding. Is that true?"

"Mom, the wedding has not been prepared yet. In fact, we plan to invite you after everything is ready." In a moment of desperation, Melody told a white lie. Seeing that Susie was wiping the sweat on her forehead, Melody quickly poured a glass of juice and handed it to her. "This is juice I made. It has the effect of heat-clearing and detoxifying..."

At this time, a servant came over with a cup of cold water. "Mrs. Susie, please drink some water."

"No, thanks. I'll drink juice." Susie drank up the juice in one gulp. It was cool, neither sweet nor greasy. "It tastes good. It's much better than water!"

"I don't like drinking water, either." Although Melody was a little embarrassed, she felt that Ryan's mother was much easier to get along with than Ryan.

"I heard that you are an artist? And the queen of the movie who won the Golden Horse Award?" Susie asked seriously.

"I'm lucky. The elders have taken good care of me. I still need to work harder." Melody smiled modestly.

"It's amazing to be the best actress at such a young age," said Susie. "How did you know Ryan?"

"We... We met at work. Mom, you just got off the plane. Would you like to have a rest first? It will take twelve hours to get here from America, right?"

"I'm not tired," said Susie, looking at Melody's little face. "Look at you carefully. You are more beautiful than in the photo. Your skin is so delicate. You deserve to be young."

"I'm inferior to you. You are the most beautiful woman in the world!" Although Susie was more than forty years old, she was as charming as those women in her twenties.

This was what Susie liked to hear, and it made a better impression on Melody. "Let's go. I've brought you some small gifts from the United States. You can have a look."

The huge suitcase was filled with all kinds of strange things. Susie was fond of collecting these small things, which was similar to the love of Melody. Susie picked up a small machine decorated with puppets and handed it to Melody. "This is the sun power fan. There are ice blocks here. Ice blocks can be transformed into mist, which can be used to moisturize and lower temperature!"

"Great! I'm short of such a treasure when I'm filming, especially in summer."

Seeing that Melody liked it, Susie became interested. "This is for moisturizing and isolation. It's very useful. I specially bring a few more bottles for you. It's difficult to buy in China."

"There are many counterfeit products of this brand. I can't buy them even if I ask someone to buy them. Mom, the products of this brand are also good, especially the cicada silk facial mask. I use them every day. I put them in the fridge and you can use them as you like."

The two women kept talking. They were not like traditional mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but more like a pair of sisters who hated to see each other late. To show her gratitude, Melody invited Susie to a fancy restaurant for dinner. On the way home, Susie said, "Melody, Ryan has a strange temper. If he dares to bully you and make you suffer injustice, just tell me and I'll teach him."

Melody agreed in her heart, 'Ryan not only has a strange temper, but also has a strange personality and habits. He must be one of the strangest people in the world.' But out of respect, Melody forced a smile and said, "Ryan is a good man. He is serious with my work and very focused on me." What Melody said was true. It was widely acknowledged that Ryan was meticulous in his words, and the rumor about his zero love affair could also withstand deliberation. In recent days, he had occupied Melody and even restricted her a lot of freedom, which could be said as "concentration".

"Melody, although you are a superstar, it's just a matter of daily life for a couple." With a meaningful look on her face, Susie continued, "Ryan has been independent and introverted since he was a child. As his wife, I hope you can take good care of him, but if he bullies you, I will definitely stand on your side and teach him a lesson."

"I will. Don't worry."

In a twinkling of an eye, the two returned to the villa. As soon as they entered the room, they saw that with a serious look on his face, Ryan was sitting upright on the sofa, holding a cool water. It seemed that he saw the intimacy between his mother and Melody. He stood up in surprise, and the water almost spilled on his clothes.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me when you came back?" Ryan put down the glass and looked at the smiling face of Susie.

"You have no right to criticize me! You have found such a good wife for our family, but you still hide it from me. I heard that the wedding hasn't been prepared yet. I feel wronged for Melody."

"Mom, I don't feel wronged. We also want to keep a low profile." Melody blurted out.

The word "mom" made Ryan's heart tremble. It seemed that Ryan sensed the wink from Melody. He quickly calmed down and said, "Mother, I won't make Melody unhappy. Besides, it's not the best time to hold a wedding."

Hearing this, Susie turned to look at Melody and said, "Melody, he's just a workaholic. If he dares to bully you, just tell me and I'll help you!"

"Thank you, mom!" Melody secretly made a victory gesture to Ryan, reminding him to be careful.

Susie turned to look at Ryan and said, "You should treat Melody well and don't bully her. If I know what you have done to her, I'll teach you a lesson."

At this time, the two women were more like a family, and they stood on the same side. Although Ryan didn't know what had happened in the past few hours, he was relieved. He knew his mother well. If she chose a person, she would love her. In this way, if Susie liked Melody, he would have a better chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help smiling and said, "I will never bully Melody."

"That's good," said Susie as she put the hand of Melody on the hand of Ryan, who took the opportunity to hold Melody's hand tightly. Then, she continued, "I won't disturb your marriage. I have to go back and have a rest."

"Mom, let me drive you home."

When Melody was about to run away, she was pulled back by Ryan. He said, "Let mom go to bed. Don't get involved. Come with me to the bedroom..."
