193 Are You Still Leaving?

Yao Zizhou gave a small signal with his eyes, and Ji Yue immediately understood his meaning.

While Ji Yue’s expression remained unchanged, inwardly she was filled with turmoil. Who would have thought that ever since she left, she would be guarded against even just by speaking in the main manor.

Yao Zizhou did not directly respond to what she said. Instead, he said, “Mother, will you be attending my birthday banquet tomorrow?”

“Of course,” Ji Yue said. “This is my son’s birthday banquet. As a mother, how can I not come?”

Yao Zizhou nodded. After a moment’s pause, he said, “Then after this, are you still leaving?”

Ji Yue said, “Looking at the situation, the girl who greeted me just now, is that Ming Liuyi? Are you two… getting along?”

Yao Zizhou had been through a lot during this period of time, and he had too many things to say to his mother.

Before Yao Zizhou’s accident, the most important woman was his mother. Now that he had Liuyi, he really wanted to have a good chat with his mother about his wife.

But there are eyes and ears around, and tomorrow was going to be a tough fight. Thinking of the crystal balls that fell by the madam’s feet earlier, Yao Zizhou felt that he had to speak lies to be safe.

He remembered that Ming Liuyi had previously agreed on a secret code. ‘…As long as you say “okay” before speaking, it will show whether you’re sincere or not…’

Although Ming Liuyi was not there to listen to him, Yao Zizhou still stuck to that tactic. He said, “Okay, it’s just for show; it’s a marriage alliance. There’s no basis to it.”

Ji Yue frowned. A responsible man would not say such words. She knew that it was not safe to say anything now, so she could only say, “I’ll have a good talk with you again after this. I’m going home to rest first. You should also finish up the rehearsal quickly.”

“Be careful, mother,” said Yao Zizhou.

“Don’t worry,” Ji Yue said with a smile, “no one in this city dares to cause trouble for me.”

…

Yao Zizhou and Ji Yue’s conversation quickly reached Yao Ziyang’s ears.

“Is that true?” Yao Ziyang asked, puzzled.

The person who came to deliver the report said confidently, “It’s not bad at all. I’ve also secretly recorded it.”

Yao Ziyang took the recording and listened carefully. Yao Zizhou’s voice came from the recorder, “Okay, it’s just for show; it’s a marriage alliance. There’s no basis to it.”

When Cai Rixi heard this, she laughed. She said, “I thought Ming Liuyi had some tricks up her sleeve to make Yao Zizhou treat her so well, but it was just for show.”

Yao Ziyang frowned and said, “I think Yao Zizhou said it on purpose for others to hear, it sounds fake.”

Hearing Yao Ziyang’s words, Cai Rixi was also suspicious, but she still believed in this recording. All these things went too smoothly for Ming Liuyi. If Yao Zizhou put on an act for others to see, Ming Liuyi’s happy face would be an illusion. Especially with this recording, it would be good to slap Ming Liuyi in the face with it in the future!

Cai Rixi said, “Yao Zizhou didn’t like anyone before, how could he let Ming Liuyi control him so easily? This must be the reality of it!”

Yao Ziyang did not know about Cai Rixi’s nasty thoughts. He said, “No matter what, we have to act now.”

Yao Ziyang called his secretary and said, “Release the photo now.”

After the call, Yao Ziyang was so excited that his hands were shaking, and his eyes were filled with madness.

On Weibo, two topics suddenly appeared.

[Yao Corporation’s President in female clothing! Is he actually a pervert? Is there a problem with his sexual orientation?]

[Yao corporation’s President is suspected of using his marriage as an excuse to cover up his sexual orientation.]

Soon, the topic was pushed to the top of the trending searches by the netizens, and they were all discussing it.

[What? Yao Corporation’s President is actually like this? I f*cking vomited the food I ate the day before yesterday.]

[After all, it’s up to you how you want to dress up. I won’t say anything about it. However, I really can’t stand the fact that he’s cheating with his marriage just to cover it up.]

[Everyone, quickly find the contact information of the president’s wife and tell her about this! Don’t let her continue to be fooled!]

[Stupid b*stard! So disgusting!]

The topic was getting more and more heated, and the marketing accounts continued to release hot news.

[It’s said that Yao Zizhou is cold and aloof, and he doesn’t get close to women. In the past, he never brought a female partner to any of his activities. This is the real reason!]

A few people who claimed to be ‘informed’ also stood out and added to the discussions.

[I knew it! There were so many rich and famous ladies throwing themselves at Yao Zizhou, but he didn’t even spare them a glance. So that’s the reason!]

It did not take long for the topic of Yao Zizhou’s perverted cross-dressing to become one of the top three trending topics!
