155 Not Even Relatives
Hearing Yao Zizhou’s words, Yao Gui knocked on the table and said, “The Cai family is Ming Liuyi’s family. We are also connected by marriage. Have you thought about Ming Liuyi’s feelings?”
“It has nothing to do with Liuyi. She has no connection with the Cai family.” Yao Zizhou frowned.
Yao Gui frowned as well and said, “No connection? No matter what, she’s still a cousin of the Cai family.”
Yao Zizhou thought for a while. “Liuyi and the Cai family are not related at all, let alone cousins. They’re not even relatives.”
“What?” Yao Gui was shocked. “The Cai family actually dared to randomly find someone to marry into our Yao family? Our Yao family is being made for fools! It’s simply a great humiliation! Start the merger and acquisition at once!”
Yao Zizhou was a little surprised. Was his father being too reckless?
Yao Gui said, “It’s clear that Liuyi is someone with an unknown background. You should end things with her as soon as possible. The Yao family’s daughter-in-law and future matriarch can’t just be anyone.”
Yao Zizhou’s face was filled with confusion. Then he said, “No matter what, Liuyi is now Madam Yao. She is not someone with an unknown background.”
“What kind of demon could make you like this?” Yao Gui asked.
Yao Zizhou’s expression turned strange. “Dad, have you been single for too long? Do you feel uncomfortable seeing me with a wife?”
Hearing this, Yao Gui immediately retorted, “How can you be so rude?! What nonsense are you saying!”
Yao Zizhou ignored it and said, “As for this Cai family matter, I have an idea, I’ll talk about it in detail later.”
When Yao Gui heard that there was still a chance for discussion, he did not hesitate and said, “Your birthday is at the end of this month. We’re mainly celebrating your awakening. Now that you’ve regained your sight, it’s another great joy. That’s why we’re holding a big celebration. The old residence is already making preparations. You should get ready as well.
Yao Zizhou nodded. This was definitely not a peaceful family dinner, and it needed much planning. The two of them continued to talk about other things for a while and then came out of the study. Yao Gui did not stay any longer and left straight away.
Ming Liuyi saw Yao Gui leave and immediately looked at Yao Zizhou with an “honest” expression.
Yao Zizhou whispered into her ear, “My father asked me what kind of demon you were to lead me so astray.”
Ming Liuyi’s face instantly froze. ‘Why is he suddenly speaking nonsense?’
Yao Zizhou’s lips curled into a smile. “Can you guess how I answered him?”
Ming Liuyi subconsciously followed Yao Zizhou’s train of thought. She asked, “What did you say to him?”
Yao Zizhou could not help but let out a laugh. Ming Liuyi’s ears immediately shook, and Yao Zizhou’s magnetic voice slowly said, “I can only blame my willpower for not being strong enough. I couldn’t control myself. I’ve already taken the bait!
Ming Liuyi’s eyes widened, and she pouted. “Don’t pull my leg, let’s talk about serious matters!”
Yao Zizhou kissed Ming Liuyi, and said, “I’ve always suspected that this incident was all part of Yao Ziyang’s scheme, but I didn’t have any evidence. Yao Ziyang’s methods are vicious, I’m afraid he’ll make a move on you, so I didn’t want you to appear in front of everyone. But, I want the whole world to know that you are my wife!”
Yao Zizhou paused and sighed. “Liuyi, I should say that I’m out of your league for you to marry me. You don’t know this, but when I took you to the Cai family and saw your condition, I thought you had been poisoned. I was a little desperate at that time, and I’m still scared when I think about it now…”
“So, I’m going to change from your legal wife to a secret lover?” Ming Liuyi asked.
Yao Zizhou laughed. “Of course not. Just wait a little longer, and be yourself. When everything is settled, I will let everyone know that you, Ming Liuyi, are my one and only wife.”
“But,” Ming Liuyi said, “Everyone says that my education is low, and I don’t have a good family background. I don’t deserve to be by your side.”
“If you’re willing to learn, I’ll support you. If you don’t, then just stay by my side and mooch off me.”
Ming Liuyi rolled her eyes and continued, “Your father also said that you’ll become the head of the Yao family in the future, and control everything that happens to the Yao family. I don’t have the ability to stand by your side.”
Hearing this, Yao Zizhou’s face was filled with helplessness. His father must have said this to Ming Liuyi before, and now she was using it to question him.
Yao Zizhou chuckled. This clever thing was so vengeful, but she was also very cute!
