188 Smear His Reputation

Yao Zizhou also saw these “trending searches”.

He called his secretary over and told him to be on guard at all times, and to block any leaks immediately.

“These topics and trending searches, are you going to remove them now?” Mr. He asked.

“No need,” said Yao Zizhou.

…

Yao Ziyang mortgaged all the companies under his name, and with a vast amount of capital, he prepared to invest it all in the Xinghai City project.

They made their move both openly and secretly. Before this, Yao Ziyang and Cai Rixi only had to post two Weibo statements, and they snatched away Yao Zizhou’s credit for the rescue. Yao Ziyang could not forget how good that felt.

If he could not succeed this time, then Yao Ziyang would rather risk the Yao Cooperation’s possible destruction, and would coordinate the paid keyboard warriors to smear Yao Zizhou’s reputation. Yao Ziyang even thought of a lot of underhanded schemes and set up multiple traps, just waiting for Yao Zizhou to walk right into them. If everything went as planned, Yao Zizhou’s complete ruin would be during the birthday celebration.

Of course, when cutting weeds, one had to get rid of the roots. Besides Yao Zizhou, Yao Ziyang would not let Yao Gui and Ming Liuyi go either.

After Yao Zizhou’s reputation was completely ruined, it would be the time of Yao Ziyang’s glory.

…

To celebrate her fiancé finally waking up, You Lingling invited everyone to her house for hotpot.

You Lingling also sent a message to Ming Liuyi. [Liuyi, will your husband be coming?]

There were only two days left until Yao Zizhou’s birthday banquet, and it was a busy time, but it was not a good thing to be so busy all the time, so Ming Liuyi did not hesitate to invite Yao Zizhou to go with her.

“You haven’t had any rest recently,” Ming Liuyi said. “Let’s go eat hotpot and rest for a day.”

Yao Zizhou was very sure that no matter what Yao Ziyang did during the birthday banquet, he would be able to handle it. However, there were still a lot of uncertainties, so he had to be on his guard. He rubbed his temples, but still agreed to go with Ming Liuyi.

You Lingling had invited many people, including He Yanfeng’s family and Head Secretary Huang Jingting.

He Yanfeng and his family arrived first at You Lingling’s house. His mother, Hong Huajin, made him watch over his younger sister Luorong before she herself went straight into the kitchen to help You Lingling with her preparations.

Head Secretary Huang Jingting had found out that Ming Liuyi failed to get the internship and blamed herself. If she had asked earlier, she would not have made Ming Liuyi so sad. Huang Jingting could use this day to apologize to her.

As soon as Ming Liuyi and Yao Zizhou entered the house, Huang Jingting immediately went up to them.

“Liuyi, you’re here. I’m really sorry. I didn’t ask clearly at that time,” said Huang Jingting.

Yao Zizhou was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, which Ming Liuyi had specially prepared to celebrate Ju Feng’s awakening. Without waiting for Ming Liuyi to say anything, Yao Zizhou scoffed.

Although he was still in his wheelchair, he was wearing a well-tailored suit and had an imposing aura.

“This must be your husband, right?” Huang Jingting asked, somewhat embarrassed.

Ming Liuyi tugged on Yao Zizhou’s sleeve and said,”That’s right. My husband’s name is Yao Zizhou. He’s always like this, a bit cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Head Secretary Huang, don’t worry about it. It’s just my own fault. It’s already good enough that you told me about the internship.”

Yao Zizhou felt very uncomfortable when he heard what Ming Liuyi said. This is the wife he doted upon heart and soul, and yet someone made her so dejected, she ended up sitting on the steps in a daze. Yao Zizhou would never, in his entire life, want his wife to be this upset.

“My wife has raised a lot of funds for the foundation, and she’s been working all over the place,” Yao Zizhou said without hesitation. He did not give full details, and left the rest up to everyone’s interpretation. Huang Jingting knew that she had indeed made a mistake this time, but she could not say anything.

He Yanfeng felt that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately put Rongrong down. Although Rongrong was still young, she quickly ran to Ming Liuyi’s side.

“Sister Liuyi, hug me.” Rongrong reached out her arms.

Ming Liuyi squatted down, wanting to pick her up. Yao Zizhou looked at Rongrong’s chubby face and knew that this little girl must be quite heavy. He quickly held the flowers in one hand and reached out his other hand, “Come, let big brother carry you.”

Rongrong looked at the handsome man and instantly had a good impression of him. She asked dubiously, “You’re not a brother. Anyone who wears a suit is an uncle.”

Yao Zizhou was speechless. Ming Liuyi could not help but laugh. She said, “Rongrong is a clever little scamp.”

Rongrong was not shy with strangers and simply climbed onto Yao Zizhou’s lap, reaching out to hug his neck.

“Little scamp, call me big brother, or else you can get down.”

Rongrong immediately smiled and shouted, “Big brother!”

Yao Zizhou was very pleased, and he said, “Ming Liuyi is my wife. If you call her sister, of course you have to call me brother. There can be no inferior terms.”

Ming Liuyi said, “Your birthday is coming soon. You’ll be twenty-seven after your birthday. There’s nothing wrong with calling you uncle, right?”
