“Where is Zhou Youlin? Where is that shameless wench, Zhao Youlin? Tell her I want to see her now!”
The shrieking shouts suddenly came in from outside, interrupting Zhao Youlin’s conversation with Xiao Jingyao.
Zhao Youlin winked at Xiao Jingyao, who knowingly collected the documents scattered on the desk, together with the glass bottle.
“Wait.” The moment Xiao Jingyao turned his back on her, Zhao Youlin suddenly spoke out to stop him.
Xiao Jingyao turned around and looked inquiringly at Zhao Youlin, only to see Zhao Youlin walked up to him and extended her hand to him. “Leave the bottle with me first.”
“General Manager, this stuff is dangerous.” Xiao Jingyao furrowed his brows and looked at Zhao Youlin with a disapproving look on his face.
This bottle was an important piece of evidence to testify against Zhao Youxi. Something could go wrong if it was passed around back and forth. Most importantly, this thing was too dangerous. The slightest mistake could have serious consequences.
If possible, Xiao Jingyao did not want to give this bottle to Zhao Youlin.
Unfortunately, Zhao Youlin had already made up her mind. She extended her hand further to Xiao Jingyao and said in a non-negotiable manner. “I’ll be careful. Give it to me first, I need it.”
Xiao Jingyao hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he gave in to Zhao Youlin’s firm request. He let out a sigh as he handed the bottle in his hand, together with the plastic bag and glove to Zhao Youlin. After that, he reminded her uneasily. “Be careful.”
Zhao Youlin nodded and gave Xiao Jingyao a look, signaling him to leave first.
As soon as Xiao Jingyao left, Zhao Youlin put the bottle into her pocket and walked toward the door.
As soon as she opened the office door, she saw Zhao Youxi with a furious look on her face and the awkward and miserable look on her secretary’s face.
The secretary believed that this must be an unlucky year for her. Ever since she was transferred to the general manager’s office as a receptionist, she had already met several eccentrics who barged in here like this.
Most importantly, she was just an adorable girl. When these rude and rough eccentrics barged in here, she was forced to transform herself into an Amazon woman. That feeling really was extraordinary!
God seemed to have heard the secretary’s miserable call for help. When she could not hold her off any longer, a chuckle suddenly came from behind her, like an angel’s voice.
“I was just wondering about all the noise outside my office all of the sudden. Turns out a dog has gone rabid and is biting people out here.”
Zhao Youxi paused when she suddenly saw Zhao Youlin. She came back to her senses after she heard Zhao Youlin’s mockery. She bawled, “Who’re you calling a dog?”
“I didn’t mention any name. Why are you so eager to admit you’re a dog?” While Zhao Youlin was saying that, she subtly gave a wink to the secretary.
The secretary was relieved. She wiped off the cold sweat from her head and fled in haste as if some monster was chasing her from behind.
Without the secretary stopping her, Zhao Youxi ragingly charged toward Zhao Youlin in her high heels.
Zhao Youlin had her arms crossed and looked leisurely at Zhao Youxi. She waited until Zhao Youxi was a meter away from her before she said in a chilly manner, “If you want to be the center of attention, you can attack me here. Or do you think you can beat me?”
Zhao Youxi’s raised hand just halted in mid-air. By the time she came around, Zhao Youlin had already turned around and entered the office.
Zhao Youxi’s face darkened. She waved her hand fiercely before entering the office right after Zhao Youlin.
Once the office door was closed, Zhao Youxi revealed her true colors. She slapped her hands on the table. Her eyes were filled with viciousness and spite, like she wanted to devour her.
“Zhao Youlin, what are you trying to do? President Mu doesn’t want you anymore. How can you be so cheap? Why won’t you let him go?” Zhao Youxi’s eyes were bloodshot, which made her look really frightening.
After being rejected by Mu Tingfeng in public that day, especially that Zhao Youlin was the reason Mu Tingfeng rejected her, Zhao Youxi had been mad for several days.
It had taken Zhao Youxi a long time to subside her anger. When she was about to find another way to attract Mu Tingfeng’s attention when she got the news that Mu Tingfeng was preparing to remarry Zhao Youlin.
This time, Zhao Youxi went completely crazy. She left the dumbfounded group of people in her office and directly rushed to Zhao Youlin’s office to condemn her.
Zhao Youxi firmly concluded this matter was against Mu Tingfeng’s will, Zhao Youlin must have pulled off some dirty tricks. After all, Zhao Youlin did do something like this in the past.
As for Mu Tingfeng, Zhao Youxi still lied to herself that he was still disgusted with Zhao Youlin like how he was a few years ago. He must hate the spreading of such a rumor.
Especially that day at the door of the elevator, Zhao Youxi saw the beginning, but not the end, so it was understandable that she would have this kind of thinking.
Though the truth was the change in Mu Tingfeng’s attitude toward Zhao Youlin, maybe Zhao Youxi did notice it. It’s just that people are sometimes like that, they are only willing to see what they want to see and at the same time willing to ignore what they don’t want to see.
“I’m cheap? I won’t let him go?” Zhao Youlin felt like she had heard some sort of big joke. She stood up from her chair and stared at Zhao Youxi from across the desk.
“I think you misunderstood. It’s not me who won’t let him go now, it’s him who won’t let me go.”
“You…You’re making it up. How would President Mu fall for a woman like you? You must have…you must have…”
“I must have what? He wouldn’t fall for a woman like me, do you think he would fall for a woman like you instead?”
“Zhao Youlin, you…”
“And you just said a woman like me. Well, that’s right. That’s what I am. On family, on financial power, on status, I am inferior to Mu Tingfeng in every way. And now, the child I used to coerce Mu Tingfeng four years ago is gone too. What other means do you think I have to make Mu Tingfeng compromise and remarry me again?
Zhao Youxi was speechless. A trace of doubt began to appear on her face.
Zhao Youlin chuckled and gave Zhao Youxi the final fatal blow. “I don’t know where you heard this rumor from, but judging by your reaction, you probably haven’t heard the whole story. Or maybe the version of the story you heard was incomplete in the first place.”
Zhao Youlin deliberately paused a little and sneered. “No matter which version it is, today, let me tell you in plain words that the matter of remarriage is not my intention. From the beginning to the end, I didn’t mention the word remarriage at all. It was Mu Tingfeng, the President Mu that you said, who took the initiative to propose it in the face of my parents, as well as Third Uncle and Third Aunt. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your dad and mom. If you have a problem with this, you can go and confront the person who said it. What’s the point of confronting me? Besides…”
Zhao Youlin raised her head and looked deeply at Zhao Youxi. She cocked her brows slightly and said mockingly, “Even if we were really going to remarry, even if I was the one who proposed to remarry him, even if I really used some tricks, this is a matter between me and Mu Tingfeng. Is that any of the business for an outsider like you? What rights do you have, and who are you to come to me and tell me what to do?”
