129 Hello, Sister-In-Law!
Before Cai Wenlun could think of anything else, Yao Zizhou had already arrived at the door.
“Mr. Cai, I wish you good fortune and longevity,” Yao Zizhou said to him.
Yao Zizhou did not announce that he had recovered his vision, so he had been wearing sunglasses the whole time.
“Mr. Yao, you’re too kind,” Cai Wenlun said.
The two shook hands, and Cai Wenlun personally escorted Yao Zizhou to the elevator that led to the banquet hall. He then instructed the servants to escort Yao Zizhou to the VIP balcony on the second floor. Cai Wenlun said, “Ziyang is already here, you brothers can chat among yourselves first, I’ll come see you again in a while.”
…
The elevator door opened. One man was already standing inside. He looked at Yao Zizhou and said, “Well, well, Yao Zizhou! You never told me you woke up! And you even made us wait for you at the banquet!”
Then, he saw Ming Liuyi and asked, “You even brought a female companion? Did your personality change after waking up? Don’t tell me you don’t recognize me anymore!”
“You talk too much!” Yao Zizhou said.
Yao Zizhou recognized Cheng Sanjin’s voice. Although he sounded a bit annoyed, he did not look impatient. Ming Liuyi knew that Cheng Sanjin was one of Yao Zizhou’s few friends. The other friend was Shao Mo, whose family was very powerful.
Yao Zizhou gestured to Liuyi and said, “Ming Liuyi, my wife.”
“Hello, sister-in-law!” Cheng Sanjin said in surprise. He originally had a mental list full of words to say, but he immediately swallowed them back!
Since Yao Zizhou had already introduced her so formally, Cheng Sanjin could not embarrass his best friend, so he could only put on a noble posture.
Soon, they reached the second floor. Someone was there waiting outside the elevator.
When Cheng Sanjin saw Shao Mo, he walked out first and pulled Shao Mo to a place a little further away. He whispered something to him, and the two of them came back. Ming Liuyi found that Shao Mo’s temperament had become very serious, along with his walking posture.
Shao Mo acted like a gentleman. “Hello, Lady Ming. My name is Shao Mo. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”
“Just say it, there’s no need to act like this,” Yao Zizhou chuckled.
When Shao Mo heard this, he instantly broke his gentlemanly mask and said, “Good day, sister-in-law!”
This was how their first time meeting their sister-in-law went.
There was not much description for these two characters in the original story, but seeing them today, Ming Liuyi thought they were already quite handsome.
Ming Liuyi smiled and said, “Hello, everyone! Please take care of me from now on.”
Cheng Sanjin and Shao Mo realized that their sister-in-law was quite easy to get along with; she was so gentle. They immediately relaxed and returned to their original selves.
Shao Mo quietly reached out his hand and waved it in front of Yao Zizhou, trying to see if he was blind. Yao Zizhou slapped Shao Mo’s hand away.
“You can see!” Shao Mo said in surprise.
“I can’t see, but I can feel the wind you keep fanning at me!”
At this time, Yao Ziyang came over, and said, “Big brother, sister-in-law, you’re both here.”
Yao Zizhou nodded and did not say anything. Yao Ziyang did not want to court a rebuff, so he only came to do some face-saving work by greeting Yao Zizhou. The others could do as they liked.
Yao Ziyang always felt uncomfortable when he was with Yao Zizhou, so he went downstairs to welcome the guests with Cai Rixi instead.
…
When they heard that Yao Zizhou had come upstairs, all the guests wanted to have a look.
The Yao family had been at the height of their power these past few years, and after Yao Zizhou took over, they stood like a crane among chickens. Everyone wanted to go up and chat with Yao Zizhou so that they could form a good relationship.
Yao Zizhou and the others found a corner for themselves to have a good chat, but obviously they could not chat for long; no one wanted to miss this opportunity.
Yao Zizhou looked at Ming Liuyi, and he asked in a low voice, “Are you hungry? Do you want Zhao Qiang to get some food?”
“I’m not that hungry,” Ming Liuyi said, “I’m just a little thirsty.”
Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Yao Zizhou said, “If you find it boring, let my two friends accompany you for a stroll. The elegant Hui-style garden might hold some interest for you.”
Ming Liuyi immediately understood that Yao Zizhou was probably here to discuss business. There was no point for her to stay here, so she decided to go out for a walk. Just as Ming Liuyi stood up, Yao Zizhou pulled her hand and whispered, “No alcohol.”
Ming Liuyi patted Yao Zizhou’s hand and softly said, “Don’t worry, I know.”
Cheng Sanjin and Shao Mo had never seen such a gentle Yao Zizhou before. They exchanged a look and were both a little shocked. This was an iron tree blooming! Finally, there was a saint who could suppress Yao Zizhou’s darkness. She must be treasured!
The two of them followed behind Ming Liuyi like two great protectors.
