Anybody knew that they had to restrain themselves to avoid embarrassing situations.
However, Sun Fengzi clearly was someone who did not take this into consideration. When she noticed Duan Yarong’s angry look, a hint of glee inexplicably appeared in her eyes. As such, she grew increasingly abusive with her words, “So what?! I am cursing her! What could you guys do to me? Zhao Youlin is a wench, and I won’t even consider her to be my maid. She’s nowhere close to being worthy. It’s her fortune that someone actually shows interest in her. Otherwise, someone like her deserves to be left unwanted and stay alone for the rest of her life until she dies!”
“Sun Fengzi!” Duan Yarong was hugged tightly in Zhao Shunrong’s arms. She was struggling to lunge at Sun Fengzi.
Zhao Shunrong comforted Duan Yarong. At the same time, he looked at Sun Fengzi with a gloomy face. If eyes could kill, Sun Fengzi would have died many times.
However, Sun Fengzi did not have the slightest bit of self-awareness. She looked at Duan Yarong’s out-of-control appearance and mocked her, “What? Do you really want to lay a finger on me? Heh! Just because the Zhao family is a big family and has a great business, you thought you could bully us, right?! Do you really think the Zhao family is that great?! If I’m pissed off, I’ll certainly make all of you suffer your own consequences!”
“Fengzi, cut the crap,” When Zhao Shunchang saw his brother’s gaze filled with murderous intent, he was shocked. His head was beaded with cold sweat. He hurriedly walked over to Sun Fengzi and pulled her hand. He was afraid that Sun Fengzi might say something else that could infuriate his own big brother.
“Are you being harsh to me?! Are you being harsh to me?! These outsiders are the cause of our son being admitted to the hospital. Moreover, he might not even be able to… for the rest of his life. I don’t mind you not speaking up on our behalf, but how could you side with others at this moment?!”
Zhao Shunchang fell speechless. He stiffened for quite some time before he blurted out, “Big Brother and Sister-in-law are not outsiders.”
Upon hearing his words, Sun Fengzi glared at him. A hint of sarcasm was caught in her words, “So you’re saying that Yifei and I are outsiders, right? Great. That’s so great of you. I’m going to visit Yifei in the hospital now. Once Yifei is discharged from the hospital, I’ll move out with him to save you from the frustration of having to see us both.”
“Don’t!” Zhao Shunchang’s expression changed drastically when he heard Sun Fengzi’s threatening remarks. He grabbed Sun Fengzi’s hand and started to soften up to her.
Regardless, Sun Fengzi was determined to fight with him till the end today. She simply pulled her hand out and ignored him.
When Zhao Shunchang saw this, he became even more anxious. He decided to make Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong the keys to him solving this mess, “Big Brother, can you ask Youlin to come out and speak to us for a moment. After all, we’re a family. Why does this have to turn out to be a heated argument? Let’s clear things up. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be fine, right?”
Zhao Shunrong frowned. A hint of disappointment was seen in between his eyebrows. Apparently, he was disappointed over his younger brother who was so susceptible to persuasion and so easily oppressed by his wife.
Zhao Shunrong did not reply. Meanwhile, Duan Yarong snickered and said sarcastically, “What else to talk about? You should know about the “good deed” that your son has committed. As his parents, don’t you have any knowledge about it?”
A trace of awkwardness flashed across Zhao Shunchang’s face upon hearing Duan Yarong’s words.
Seeing that Sun Fengzi had the tendency to launch another attack, Zhao Shunchang changed his mind and quickly said, “Big Brother, when I was on my way up here just now, I heard that there was an accident in the elevator that Youlin took. Is she…”
Sun Fengzi froze. She murmured, “An accident in the elevator that the wench took?”
Zhao Shunrong was a little stunned. He turned around and cast a glance at Zhao Shunchang. He said in a deep voice, “Youlin is fine. She’s bandaging inside.”
“Bandaging?” Sun Fengzi thought that Zhao Youlin had been wounded. Her face slightly darkened and said discontentedly, “She only suffered minor injuries? That’s so lucky of her! Why didn’t she die and be done with it? There are so many elevators in this company, but only her elevator got into an accident. Indeed, even gods can’t stand her. This is retribution!”
Xia Zhetao could not help but draw in a cold breath upon hearing her words, ‘Darn it! Madam Fengzi really can shoot her mouth off. She actually cursed the former Mrs. President to hell before so many people! She is just asking for death!’
Sun Fengzi’s words basically ignited the fuse and rekindled the fire that many people in the room had managed to recede from.
Not only Duan Yarong, but even Zhao Shunrong grew angry. His face looked so cold and was about to react to her. Suddenly, a familiar snicker came from behind.
“I’m really sorry, then. I didn’t die and I wasn’t injured either. Moreover, I was told that if one survives a great catastrophe, one will be blessed in the future. Even though I might not keep rising steadily, at least things are going to turn out well. I’m afraid that I have to let you down, Aunt.”
“Youlin…” Duan Yarong was the first to react to her. She let go of Zhao Shunrong’s hand and ran toward Zhao Youlin.
“Mother, you’ve been through a lot.” Zhao Youlin looked at Duan Yarong’s reddened eyes and sparkling gaze. She unwittingly stretched out and wanted to touch her face.
Duan Yarong froze. She grabbed Zhao Youlin’s hand and said anxiously, “Why did you come out here? Go in now. Your father and I are going to handle this.”
The unreasonable, madwoman was right behind Duan Yarong. Duan Yarong was extremely tensed up. She could not wait to hide Zhao Youlin inside the room.
Zhao Youlin felt warm when she saw Duan Yarong instinctively acted like a protector, just like a hen protecting her chicks. She held Duan Yarong’s hand back and said, “No need. Mother, please rest. I can handle this matter on my own.”
Duan Yarong opened her mouth and was about to say something. But, Zhao Youlin had already walked around her and stepped a few steps in front. She smiled faintly and said, “Aunt, aren’t you here to settle the account with me? I’m right here. Just say whatever you need to say. I want to save myself from being labeled as someone disrespectful to my elders. I really can’t afford to bear such sin.”
Zhao Youlin’s abrupt appearance had caught Sun Fengzi by surprise. Soon, she snapped out of her daze. Her face darkened, and she shouted, “Don’t you know what I’m about to say?! Do you really think you can get away from the matter of beating Yifei up like that?! Today, I am going to teach you a lesson!”
Right after Sun Fengzi spoke, she raised her hand at Zhao Youlin and with a ferocious look, she was about to swing her hand down with all her might.
Sun Fengzi’s sudden move was against everyone’s expectations. The people around them unwittingly sucked in cold breaths when they saw this.
Duan Yarong could not help but cry out, “Youlin!”
A few people wanted to go up to stop her. Unfortunately, they were at least a few steps away from Zhao Youlin. They could not possibly get there in time within the blink of an eye.
Just when everyone was having their hearts in their mouths looking at Sun Fengzi’s move, a sudden change happened in a flash.
A crunching sound rang throughout the entire office and clenched everyone’s hearts who were present.
