Yao Zizhou gave a small signal with his eyes, and Ji Yue immediately understood his meaning.
While Ji Yue's expression remained unchanged, inwardly she was filled with turmoil. Who would have thought that ever since she left, she would be guarded against even just by speaking in the main manor.
Yao Zizhou did not directly respond to what she said. Instead, he said, "Mother, will you be attending my birthday banquet tomorrow?"
"Of course," Ji Yue said. "This is my son's birthday banquet. As a mother, how can I not come?"
Yao Zizhou nodded. After a moment's pause, he said, "Then after this, are you still leaving?"
Ji Yue said, "Looking at the situation, the girl who greeted me just now, is that Ming Liuyi? Are you two... getting along?"
Yao Zizhou had been through a lot during this period of time, and he had too many things to say to his mother.
