Chapter 197 - 197 Does It Matter?

197 Does It Matter?

Cai Rixi frowned. She did not expect Cai Wenlun to ask such a question. She said, “Does it matter? Why are you suddenly bringing up Ming Liuyi?”

Chen Xiaomei looked at Cai Rixi seriously, and said, “Rixi, this matter is very important to us.”

Cai Rixi immediately avoided Chen Xiaomei’s eyes. She felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and it was as though all her hair was standing up. Cai Rixi said, “What’s important? Is Ming Liuyi important? Would Ming Liuyi think about you in everything she does? What’s so important about her anyway? She’s just an outsider who has nothing to do with us!”

Chen Xiaomei’s heart turned even colder when she heard Cai Rixi’s words.

Smart people did not need to over clarify like that. Chen Xiaomei had always wanted to leave some face for Cai Rixi, and had even agreed to let her continue to stay in the Cai family. But now, it seemed that Cai Rixi remained ignorant about how things in the world worked!

Thinking of everything that had happened before, Chen Xiaomei was almost certain that everything Cai Rixi did was to harm Chen Xiaomei’s biological daughter!

Cai Wenlun said coldly, “I’ve already given you your chance. Tomorrow, there will be no going back.”

With that, Cai Wenlun and Chen Xiaomei stood up and left.

Cai Rixi did not expect this to happen. She felt that Cai Wenlun and Chen Xiaomei knew something. She could not sit still. Yao Ziyang did not know that Cai Rixi was not a child of the Cai family. If this matter was exposed…

Cai Rixi quickly shook her head and rejected the idea. She and Yao Ziyang shared the same goals. As long as Yao Ziyang succeeded tomorrow, Cai Rixi would have the chance to keep the Cai family silent.

She got in the car and asked the driver to send her back to Yao Ziyang’s place.

When Yao Ziyang saw Cai Rixi return, he knew that something must have happened. He asked, “What happened?”

Cai Rixi had thought it through very clearly along the way. She could not let Yao Ziyang know about this, so she said, “My parents won’t listen to me. Get someone to stop them tomorrow, in case something happens.”

When Yao Ziyang heard this, he frowned and said, “Most of my people have been assigned their positions. We can only let the reserve team go over to stop them, but those people have special identities, and their methods… are not very good. I’m just worried that they might underestimate their own strength and hurt your parents.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Cai Rixi said with a determined expression. “Just get it done.”

…

In the morning, Ming Liuyi had something on her mind, and she ended up waking at dawn.

Ming Liuyi subconsciously reached out and touched the other side of the bed. There was no one there, but the spot was still warm. It seemed that Yao Zizhou had just woken up.

Hearing Ming Liuyi turn over on the bed, Yao Zizhou came out of the bathroom.

Although Ming Liuyi had woken up, it was still very early. She continued to laze on the bed, and her hair was messy, which only added to her allure.

Yao Zizhou sat on the side like he was approaching a pet kitten. He held Ming Liuyi in his arms and gently kissed her forehead. He said, “It’s still early. If you’re tired, you can sleep a little longer.”

Ming Liuyi whiffed a faint minty smell on Yao Zizhou’s body and snuggled into his arms. She said, “Alright, I’ll go check Weibo first to see if anyone is causing trouble.”

Yao Zizhou placed Ming Liuyi under the covers and went to the bathroom again. Ming Liuyi picked up her phone and launched the social media app. As expected, there was a new trending topic.

[Yao Corporation’s Xinghai City project has been suspended. The Vice President has turned the tide!]

[Yao Ziyang’s counterattack!]

[Yao family banquet, big scoop!]

Ming Liuyi frowned and tapped on these trending searches. All the marketing accounts posted almost the same content, and these were most probably drafts directly given by Yao Ziyang.

The content was about when Yao Zizhou was the president, he started the Xinghai City project, but it was unsuccessful. The project was put on hold for a long time, and Yao Corporation suffered great losses. Although Yao Zizhou had woken up, he did not step down from the position of CEO. Instead, he brought his people to have a vacation in Xinghai City for a few days. The Xinghai City project could be restarted this time thanks to Vice President Yao Ziyang’s efforts.

Moreover, he had used this matter to, more or less, push that it was Yao Ziyang who had led the Yao Corporation’s rescue during the storm.

When Ming Liuyi saw this, she angrily switched off her phone. These people were just distorting the truth!

Yao Zizhou finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom. Seeing Ming Liuyi’s angry face, Yao Zizhou said lightly, “There’s no need to be angry. Let the public’s opinions continue to ferment. The more people know about this, the better.”

…

The birthday banquet started at seven o’clock in the evening, and the guests began arriving two hours in advance.
