Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 638 - 616 Lecture_1
Chapter 638: 616 Lecture_1
Mrs. Yang looked at Lu Qingyi, an inexplicable "thud" played in her heart, firmly believing the Ye Family could not possibly be completely above board.
"I believe Mrs. Ye is well aware of how the Ye family amassed their wealth."
Lu Qingyi spoke slowly as she watched Mrs. Yang.
In reality, many corporate groups’ accumulation of wealth may have involved practices not accepted but well concealed; even if others are aware, they hesitate to publicly address it.
But once these secrets are exposed, things change.
"Xu Boyan, I’m tired."
With a wide yawn, Lu Qingyi was led out by Xu Boyan.
Mrs. Yang stood her ground, gently biting her lip corner, clenching her fists, her gaze fixed on Lu Zhizhou, "Zhuozhou...."
She still wanted Lu Zhizhou to leave with her.
"As Qingyi clearly stated, if you ever become dissatisfied with the way your life is now..."
With a faint smile on his face, Lu Zhizhou’s words trailed off, believing Mrs. Yang would comprehend his implication.
"Fine, I will leave."
Mrs. Yang took a deep breath and walked away.
She was chagrined, but she was helpless at the moment.
Boyan from Kyoto. Even if she had no real interest in the affairs of Kyoto, she still knew of his existence; she had always known about Xu Boyan.
Lu Zhizhou watched as Mrs. Yang departed, breathing a long sigh.
The matter about her mother did trouble her for a bit.

The child had been growing for nine months now, causing Lu Qingyi to move with increasing difficulty. Her legs were a bit swollen, but walking wasn’t an issue.
Gu Xiang moved back into the west villa to take care of Lu Qingyi.
Previously, she felt Xu Boyan could take care of Lu Qingyi by himself and her occasional visits would suffice. But now, as Lu Qingyi’s due date approached, her worried heart led her back.
Even if the due date was still some way off, who knew whether the child might arrive prematurely?
"Mom, stop busying yourself."
Without a moment’s rest, Gu Xiang was busy preparing all kinds of cakes and snacks for Lu Qingyi.
Lu Qingyi, half reclining on the sofa while watching TV, felt slightly guilty.
"No worries; I’m just preparing some food for you."
With a smile, she replied. She genuinely enjoyed doing this.
"Open your mouth, eat more."
Xu Boyan sat beside Lu Qingyi, continuously feeding her.
Lu Qingyi naturally opened her mouth to accept the food that Xu Boyan brought to her lips.
"Oh, by the way, I have a lecture at Hardrick this afternoon."
Lu Qingyi played with her mobile phone for a bit, then suddenly remembered.
"You are pregnant," Xu Boyan reminded her.
With her pregnancy well advanced, he frowned lightly at her insistence on delivering a talk.
"I had agreed to do it before I became pregnant."
Lu Qingyi began to explain. At that time, she was still teaching at Jin City No. 1 High School. She had promised Lun Boyan she would deliver this lecture.
She had completely forgotten about it, as it was supposed to occur much later. But she had just remembered the commitment.
Lu Qingyi always used her mobile phone to keep track of things. She had noted this obligation and so she was reminded.
"Can we push it back?" Xu Boyan gently asked.
Lu Qingyi shook her head. Once she had given her word, she would always follow through, unless truly urgent matters intervened.
"Then I will accompany you," Xu Boyan conceded.
Lu Qingyi picked up her phone to call Lun Boyan. Given her pregnancy, she assumed Lun Boyan had probably made alternative arrangements.
Lun Boyan was both delighted and worried to hear that Lu Qingyi planned to come.
They had been planning this conference for a long time, and many people were aware that Lu Qingyi would be the speaker.
Changing speakers at this stage would be untimely, but given the stage of Lu Qingyi’s pregnancy, he had been compelled to consider a replacement.
They had to find a strong alternative, someone who could match Lu Qingyi in credibility. But where could they find such a person?
Lun Boyan, like an ant on a hot pan, had been fretting for days but could find no substitute.
When Lu Qingyi called to say she was coming, of course he was exhilarated. Yet worrying about her pregnancy was inevitable.
"Don’t worry about me. Just have everything ready for the lecture this afternoon."
After saying her piece, Lu Qingyi hung up the phone and yawned.
"Xu Boyan, wake me at one o’clock. The lecture starts at two-thirty."
It was only ten in the morning, but feeling tired, Lu Qingyi yawned and announced her plan. She intended to rest if she wanted to stay awake for the afternoon lecture.
"Ok, I will carry you upstairs to rest."
Xu Boyan chuckled softly. He tenderly stifled a yawn and gently tussled Lu Qingyi’s hair, his tone doting.
Gu Xiang sighed, shaking her head helplessly, a smile playing on her lips.
A couple being in love – that’s all that mattered.
Their son had a very cold demeanor, but he was extraordinarily considerate, exceptionally gentle, and especially doting around the person he loved.
Just like his father. Both father and son were good to their wives.
"Mom, rest a bit. You’ve been busy all morning."
After bringing Lu Qingyi upstairs, Xu Boyan came down and gently spoke, addressing Gu Xiang who was bustling around in the kitchen.
"It’s fine, I enjoy keeping myself occupied."
Gu Xiang shook her head. As a mother-in-law, she certainly had to take very good care of her pregnant daughter-in-law.
"There’s plenty of food already. Qingyi can’t possibly eat all that."
Xu Boyan said, taking in the sight of a kitchen filled with food.
"Then, I will go and knit some clothes for the baby."
Removing her apron, Gu Xiang casually announced her departure.
Xu Boyan: "..."
He just wanted Gu Xiang to take a little break.
"By the way, is the room renovation complete?"
As she was about to leave the kitchen, Gu Xiang seemed to have had a second thought, and she turned back to Xu Boyan.
"Yes, it is. Done as Qingyi wanted."
Xu Boyan responded with a nod.
After Gu Xiang left, Xu Boyan got to work preparing lunch for Lu Qingyi.
"Wait, why are you in the kitchen?"
After having left the kitchen for some time, seeing Xu Boyan still huddled there, Gu Xiang came back to check.
Xu Boyan: "I am making porridge for Qingyi’s lunch."
"Ok. In the afternoon, I will accompany Qingyi out for a little shopping and to buy some baby clothes."
Gu Xiang declared. She believed Lu Qingyi needed to go out more often instead of staying in all day.
"Mom, this afternoon Qingyi needs to go to Hardrick for a lecture. It’s quite important."
Xu Boyan turned to tell Gu Xiang.
"At this point, she is still working? Can’t Hardrick display a bit of humanity? Even school teachers have maternity leave, let alone professors?"
Gu Xiang began to grumble. Over the past few months of Lu Qingyi’s pregnancy, even though she spent most days at home, she did occasionally go to Hardrick.
