153 He Is Working Hard

Yao Gui narrowed his eyes and reexamined Ming Liuyi.

As expected of a child from a small family, she only cared about these little gestures.

Now that Yao Zizhou had regained his sight, he could continue working, and the daughter-in-law of the Yao family would be someone who could take charge of everything in the household.

From managing the banquet, to managing the household expenses, to delegating work to the housekeepers; none of them were simple.

“Liuyi, what do you think about your marriage?” asked Yao Gui.

“It’s been more than half a year,” Ming Liuyi said, “And you’re asking me what I think? Wasn’t this all arranged by you?”

“It’s different now,” said Yao Gui. “In the past, Yao Zizhou couldn’t see, so he needed someone to take care of him. But now that he’s recovered, he will continue to be in charge of the Yao Corporation and the Yao family. Everything will all be in his hands.”

Smiling, Ming Liuyi picked up a beautiful raspberry, and said, “He’s working hard.”

Yao Gui was speechless. He had already laid it all out, but why did Ming Liuyi not feel ashamed? Yao Zizhou was so outstanding, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth, how could Ming Liuyi still be so calm?

Yao Gui cursed in his heart. ‘This girl doesn’t have any education, so she probably doesn’t understand the meaning between the lines.’

Yao Gui said in a straightforward manner, “Liuyi, it’s not easy to be the Yao family’s daughter-in-law. You have to study hard and keep up with Zizhou’s footsteps.”

Ming Liyi’s hands immediately stopped. It was only then that she understood that Yao Gui did not mean for her to “study hard”, but to leave on her own!

It was often said that the royal family was the most ruthless. Now, it seemed that the wealthy families were the same.

“Father, don’t worry,” Ming Liuyi said, “Since I have suffered with you, I believe that you will also experience happiness with me.”

Ming Liuyi’s words were very calm, and Yao Gui did not know what to say.

The meaning behind Ming Liuyi’s words was also very obvious. When Yao Zizhou was in a vegetative state, Ming Liuyi was the one who took care of him, until Yao Zizhou once again became the person who will “be in charge of the Yao family” as Yao Gui put it.

Last time he did not show any dissatisfaction toward Ming Liuyi. While currently Yao Zizhou was much better, and had even regained his sight, he was still handicapped for the most part and yet Yao Gui was already starting to show disdain toward Ming Liuyi.

Yao Gui sighed in his heart. Ming Liuyi was not a good match for Yao Zizhou. He had never thought that the reason Yao Zizhou could wake up was mainly because of Ming Liuyi. In Yao Gui’s heart, he thought that it was because he had arranged a marriage for Yao Zizhou in spite of everyone’s objections that woke Yao Zizhou up.

Therefore, Yao Gui was very proud of himself. As a father, the more his inner pride swelled, the more he wished to continue making decisions for Yao Zizhou.

Yao Gui felt that he had nothing to say to Ming Liuyi. He would wait for his son to return. After that, they should discuss and decide if this marriage were to continue.

The two of them were silent for a while. Ming Liuyi thought that since she was not the victim like before, there was no need for her to justify herself to Yao Gui. Ming Liuyi’s sacrifice and her own value would naturally be protected by the people who understood.

…

Yao Zizhou soon arrived home.

Without waiting for the car to stop, Yao Gui immediately stood up and went to the door to greet his son. Ming Liuyi also put down her work and went to the door.

When they were together every day, she had not realized it. But when Yao Zizhou went to work, and she was home alone, Ming Liuyi could not get used to it and had hoped that he would return soon.

When Yao Zizhou came back, he was carrying a bag that seemed to contain some pastries. Before they entered, Yao Zizhou shouted, “Liuyi, look what I brought back for you!”

Just as Yao Zizhou arrived at the door, Yao Gui also came out from the villa.

Seeing that it was not his wife, Yao Zizhou was stunned. Father and son looked at each other, speechless.

Finally, Yao Zizhou said, “Father, you’re here.”

Yao Gui clearly felt the cold treatment and nodded neutrally.

Yao Zizhou ignored Yao Gui’s expression and directly asked, “Where’s Liuyi?”

Yao Gui did not know what to say.

Ming Liuyi, who was a few steps behind, walked out at this moment.

Seeing Ming Liuyi, Yao Zizhou’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said, “Liuyi, come and take this.”

Ming Liuyi did not take the bag from Yao Zizhou’s hand, but walked behind him and pushed his wheelchair. She coughed lightly and poked Yao Zizhou, indicating that Yao Gui was still there.

Since he had brought something back, she could not eat it all by herself, that would be a little awkward.

Yao Zizhou naturally knew what she was thinking, and said, “Father’s here, but you don’t have to be so formal. It’s just a few pastries. Father doesn’t like them. Here, take them.”

Ming Liuyi and Yao Gui were at a loss for words.
