Holy Crap! My Cat is Actually a Female CEO?!

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Empress Dowager Chen Attacks

Yan Luoxi’s eyes went wide the moment she heard what Gu Yizhou said.

She stared in shock at the jerk in front of her!

’At first, she thought Gu Yizhou just wanted to look. She never imagined he’d actually want to touch her...’

"Mrow~!"

"Pervert!"

"Freak!"

"Get lost!"

"Go ’way!"

"You’re so shameless!"

...

After shouting every insult she could think of at Gu Yizhou, she zipped under the sofa to hide.

’Oh, Momma!’

’This world is insane! There’s a pervert here!’

’*Sob sob sob...*’

"Er..."

Seeing Xiaobai’s terrified expression, Gu Yizhou was completely baffled.

"That’s not it!"

"I’m really not a pervert!"

He muttered under his breath.

But how could Yan Luoxi possibly believe his nonsense?

She cowered in a corner under the sofa, trembling all over...

"Quietly holding the porcelain token, keeping the promise... goodbyes are always spent in disappointment..."

Just then, the ringing of a cell phone shattered the awkward silence.

Gu Yizhou snapped out of it. He picked up his phone and glanced at the screen; it was a call from his mom.

"Hello~"

"My dearest mother, what is your royal decree?"

Gu Yizhou said playfully.

Chen Dongmei: "..."

"Hello, Mother Dearest, why so quiet?"

Gu Yizhou asked, confused by the silence on the other end.

"Can you speak normally? If you dare say one more word in that sarcastic tone, believe me, I will smack you."

Chen Dongmei said through gritted teeth.

"Er..."

His playful tone vanished at her words.

He didn’t dare joke around anymore. He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Ahem, so... Mom, what’s up?"

Now that he was speaking normally, Chen Dongmei’s anger on the other end of the line subsided a little.

She asked, "You brat, have you made the down payment on the house yet?"

"Oh... Not yet."

"The company is still negotiating with the developers. Nothing’s been finalized yet."

Gu Yizhou lied without skipping a beat.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Chen Dongmei’s brow furrowed slightly. "And when will that be?"

"I’m not sure yet, but it should be soon!"

Gu Yizhou answered evasively.

’He’d already made a plan. Tomorrow, he’d sell the stocks. Then, after a while, he’d tell his mom that the company and the developer couldn’t reach an agreement and the deal for the house fell through. After that, he’d return the 300,000 to her.’

’Anyway, he had his seed money now. Even if he wanted to buy a house, he wouldn’t need his mom’s money anymore. He’d let his parents use that money for their retirement.’

Though Chen Dongmei was a little displeased by his answer, there was nothing she could do.

"Fine,"

Chen Dongmei said. "Oh, right. I’m coming to see you this weekend."

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou froze, hearing that his mom was coming over.

"What do you mean, ’huh’?"

"You rotten kid refuse to come home, so I have no choice but to come to you!"

"What’s the matter? Not happy to see me?"

Chen Dongmei’s tone was deceptively calm.

"Of course not!"

"You’re welcome any time, Mom! Anytime at all! Hehehe..."

Gu Yizhou said quickly.

"Tch."

Chen Dongmei scoffed, clearly not buying his nonsense.

"Alright, that’s settled then. Shiqi and I will come straight to your place this weekend."

"That’s all. We’ll talk more when I see you."

Chen Dongmei stated flatly.

She hung up as soon as she finished, giving Gu Yizhou no chance to reply.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP..."

Listening to the dial tone, Gu Yizhou still hadn’t processed what just happened.

’Wait!’

’What did my mom just say?’

’Shiqi...???’

’Hold on!’

’Who the hell is Shiqi?!’

Now Gu Yizhou was well and truly stumped.

Since Gu Yizhou had the call on speaker, Yan Luoxi, still hiding under the sofa, heard every single word of his conversation with his mother.

’That scoundrel’s mother is coming over?’

’I guess I’ll have to be more careful...’

For the next few days, Gu Yizhou was extra cautious on his commute to and from work.

He had no choice.

Entertainment reporters were still staking out the company building every day.

As a result, he never once took off his helmet when entering or leaving the office.

Fortunately, they never managed to catch Gu Yizhou. That, combined with the fact that the hype from his performance video was dying down online and Tidal Group had barred them from entering for interviews, meant the reporters finally started to disperse over the last couple of days.

After all, staking out a place without getting any news or scandals is just a waste of time.

Even though one or two reporters were still camped out downstairs from the Tidal Group building each day, it was no longer a major issue for Gu Yizhou.

Besides, he had already grown accustomed to wearing a helmet whenever he entered or left the building.

「The weekend arrived in a flash.」

Tidal Group had a two-day weekend, so Gu Yizhou didn’t have to go into the office.

He’d been woken up early that morning by a call from his mom and couldn’t get back to sleep.

With no other choice, Gu Yizhou finally got out of bed.

After washing up, Gu Yizhou went downstairs to the entrance of his residential complex to buy breakfast. Once he finished eating, he settled onto the sofa with his laptop to watch the financial news.

Now that he was sitting on a huge pile of cash, he decided to watch the news for any new, promising stocks to invest in.

That’s right.

Gu Yizhou had already sold off all his Caesar Shares.

His final return on investment was 126%.

After deducting the fees for the five-times leverage and the stamp tax on the sale, Gu Yizhou was left with around 3.5 million. Subtracting the 300,000 from his mother, he still had over 3.2 million.

In an instant, he had gone from a broke loser with less than five figures to his name to a millionaire.

Gazing at the seven-figure balance in his bank account, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but smile.

’To be fair, he had been even more of a badass in his previous life.’

’But earning that first batch of seed money had been a difficult struggle that took a lot of time and hardship.’

’This time, however, the money had come far too easily. It had taken almost no effort at all.’

’Sure enough!’

’This system really lived up to its name as a life-hacking cheat code!’

Gu Yizhou marveled to himself.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi, who was curled up on the balcony, caught a glimpse of his lecherous-looking smile and couldn’t help but shudder.

Ever since *that night*, she had been keeping her distance from Gu Yizhou.

’She was terrified the scumbag would give in to his bestial urges and try to touch her... again.’

"KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK... KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK..."

Just then, a rhythmic knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi both turned to look toward the door in unison...
