Ye Ziyu really couldn't understand why Shen Meixiu kept pestering her about some online gossip.
"Auntie, is there something you want to tell me?" Ye Ziyu asked directly.
With only the two of them in the living room, why be so hesitant and talk about all sorts of unrelated things.
Hearing her question, Shen Meixiu was now certain that Ye Ziyu was unaware of her current online popularity. She quickly took out her phone and mysteriously placed it in Ye Ziyu's hand.
Phone?
Baffling!
Ye Ziyu swiped the screen, and a cascade of comments immediately popped up. Her gaze fell on the title, and she curiously tapped on it. As she scrolled down, her expression grew increasingly somber.
"So you didn't know," Shen Meixiu remarked sarcastically from the side. "I thought you did, and I was thinking you have a good mindset and wanted to learn from you."
Returning the phone, Ye Ziyu patted her pocket but didn't find it. She turned and ran upstairs.
"Hmph, just as they say, like mother, like daughter. She's exactly like her promiscuous mother!" Shen Meixiu jeered at Ye Ziyu's retreating back.
Back in her room, Ye Ziyu saw her phone on the bedside table. She pressed the power button, but the screen showed no reaction. She tried again, still no response.
Recalling the scene that morning, she immediately long-pressed the power button with her thumb. In just two or three seconds, the screen lit up.
What company business? Di Mingjue was clearly hiding something from her, even secretly turning off her phone!
Ye Ziyu opened the entertainment app. The page was exceptionally clean; there was no gossip about her to be found.
After some thought, she clicked on settings.
"This is outrageous!" Ye Ziyu said angrily, looking at the blocked content.
She had cared for him and lectured him that very morning, only to become a laughingstock in the end.
Ye Ziyu scrolled through her contacts and immediately called Di Mingjue.
At the company, Di Mingjue was glued to his computer, using hacker technology to clean up the malicious comments online.
"Mr. Di, Madam is calling you!" Shen Lin held out his phone as if it were a hot potato.
Glancing at the time, Di Mingjue sensed that the situation was not good.
"You answer it."
"Me?"
Shen Lin was sure he hadn't misheard and nervously tapped to answer the call with the phone in his hand.
"Where are you?" Ye Ziyu's voice floated out.
Shen Lin dared not speak and looked at Di Mingjue.
"Speak!" Ye Ziyu's tone carried anger.
It seemed she already knew!
Di Mingjue took the phone from Shen Lin and confessed everything. "I'm at the company handling that article online."
He had indeed known since early this morning!
Ye Ziyu angrily questioned, "Why did you lie to me?"
"I saw all those comments online and was very angry. I knew they would hurt you. I planned to tell you after I had everything sorted out."
Tell her after it was sorted out?
Given his current actions, Ye Ziyu didn't believe him at all. Once he had it all sorted out, he would pretend the whole thing never happened and wouldn't tell her.
"I'm coming to find you now."
"Okay."
Di Mingjue didn't dare to refuse. If he angered her, there would be no good consequences.
After hanging up, Ye Ziyu hurriedly went downstairs.
"Things happen, and after everyone has had their fill of excitement, they won't care anymore," Shen Meixiu taunted, using Ye Ziyu's own words.
Seeing that she was trying to provoke her, Ye Ziyu didn't have time to argue with her. Ignoring her, she walked straight past.
She really thought of herself as something important!
Shen Meixiu pounded the sofa angrily, unwilling to be ignored by Ye Ziyu.
Before leaving the Ye residence, Ye Ziyu made arrangements for the children in advance.
They had clamored to go with her, but she refused their request, considering that she wouldn't be able to take care of them.
