Su Ruixin heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s words. She was overjoyed and quickly got into the car, fearing that Zhao Youlin would take back her words.
When the driver from the Mu family saw Madam Mu getting into a stranger’s car, he froze. Then, he followed Zhao Youlin’s car.
Luckily, there were not many cars on the road during this period of time. The Mu family’s driver tailed Zhao Youlin’s car at a far distance so that he would not be discovered. Su Ruixin heaved a sigh when she saw this.
Su Ruixin finally had a chance to speak with Zhao Youlin. She hurriedly explained to her, “About the woman who is with Mu Tingfeng…”
When Zhao Youlin heard Su Ruixin’s voice, she turned back and looked at her in a puzzle, ‘What’s wrong with that woman? Could it be true that something had happened to her unborn baby?’
“Er… Actually, that woman is not Mu Tingfeng’s mistress. In fact, she’s…” Su Ruixin talked with some difficulty, “In fact, she’s my younger sister’s daughter. In other words, she’s Tingfeng’s… cousin.”
Su Ruixin took the initiative to explain the story to Zhao Youlin. No doubt, she was still suspected of speaking up for her son.
She heard from her son’s secretary that her silly son had announced that he wanted to remarry this woman before everyone. However, the woman had ignored her.
Later, regardless of how her son had expressed his fondness for this woman, the woman was stubborn and reacted indifferently. As a result, his son’s helpers were all worked up.
In addition, she also got to know that her former daughter-in-law had spoken in her son’s face, asking him to settle his mistresses outside before looking for her.
In other words, her daughter-in-law had taken the incident about her son cheating on her to heart.
She had to admit that it was simply amusing to see her son being put on the spot. However, if her son’s heart had been moved, and he wished to court Zhao Youlin, how could his mother not be willing to help him?
As Su Ruixin’s had expected, upon hearing her words, Zhao Youlin’s pupil shrank. She stared at Su Ruixin, who had been speaking shocking remarks, incredulously.
‘So, Su Qing is Mu Tingfeng’s cousin, after all?’
Seeing Zhao Youlin’s dumbfounded look, Su Ruixin unwittingly felt guilty. But, she must finish what she had begun, “Qing is Tingfeng’s cousin. Besides, she has long been married. The child inside her belly is not Tingfeng’s. The reason why she’s so close to Tingfeng is because… Anyway, you don’t have to overthink.”
Zhao Youlin could not help but rub her aching head. Looking at Su Ruixin’s sincere eyes, Zhao Youlin could not identify any hint of humor from them.
In other words, the pregnant woman was Mu Tingfeng’s cousin for real, instead of a mistress who wanted to destroy a family’s bliss.
This was the greatest joke on Earth! After all, what she had done in the past including insulting Mu Tingfeng during their divorce, and bumping into the two in the hospital during maternal checkups was all but an attempt to confuse herself?!
Did they do this just because they wanted to see how she burst out in anger because of them? Or, did they want to see how she sank into despair when they saw them so that the two could laugh behind her back for making a fool of herself?
Unfortunately, she was no longer the silly woman who would die for the sake of him. They must have been disappointed for not reaching their expectations, right?
Zhao Youlin could not tell if she was surprised or disappointed. She looked up and snorted, “Overthink? What more could I think about? Didn’t Mu Tingfeng deliberately ask his cousin to pair with him to act just so that I got all worked up overthinking things? If so, why the need to explain to me now? He didn’t mind ruining his own reputation just to cut ties with me. Now, he abruptly changed his mind and keeps bugging me. Does he find all this interesting?”
Su Ruixin fell speechless. Looking at Zhao Youlin’s aggressive and indifferent look, she thought to herself, ‘Why… do I feel like I’m making things worse?’
It looked like her son had gone too far this time. What could she do? As long as her former daughter-in-law could not get over this, her son would have to remain a bachelor for life!
Su Ruixin silently lamented for her son. After that, she cleared her throat and asked tentatively, “Youlin… do you hate… Tingfeng?”
‘Hate him?’ Zhao Youlin let out a bark of laughter. She wanted to tell Su Ruixin that she was no longer the same old Zhao Youlin. She had never loved Mu Tingfeng, so why would she hate him? But, why did she feel a little disappointed?
Right at the moment when the two fell silent, the car abruptly shook violently, scaring the two in the back seat.
“What’s going on?” Zhao Youlin agilely pulled Su Ruixin to the side, and she kept herself stable while asking as she frowned.
The driver was also taken aback by the sudden move. He tilted his head and cast a glance at the rearview mirror. His expression changed as he said, “Eldest lady, there is a car behind us… a car has been following us. It seems like it wants to ram us.”
“Not seemingly, it definitely wanted to ram us. Hasn’t it tried its luck once just now?” Zhao Youlin’s expression turned dark. She cast a cursory glance at the car behind her.
It was a pale yellow sedan. The car looked ordinary and slightly old. However, these were the least important details. What mattered most was the four side windows of the car were tinted with black color sandpaper so that outsiders could not see the people inside clearly. Moreover, the car plate had been wrapped tightly.
Apparently, the other party had come prepared. If Zhao Youlin could not identify this, she certainly had a few screws loose in her head.
“Have they lost their patience?”
“What?!” Su Ruixin had never experienced this for many years. She froze when she heard Zhao Youlin’s whisper. Yet, she could not hear her clearly so she could not help but ask again.
“Nothing,” Zhao Youlin looked troubled. However, she remained calm and set her mind clear.
“Eldest lady, what should we do now?” This was the driver’s first time experiencing something like this. His face turned ghastly pale, and he looked more anxious than Zhao Youlin.
“Don’t look back. Continue to move forward and try to look for somewhere where we can hide,” Zhao Youlin decisively instructed the driver. The next moment, she took out her mobile phone and called Xiao Jingyao.
Without letting her down, Xiao Jingyao picked up her call very soon, “General Manager, what’s the matter?”
“Uncle Xiao, I’m being followed. The car is right behind us. I guess it wants to catch up with us and create a traffic accident,” Zhao Youlin tried her best to keep her tone calm and smooth.
The other side of the line fell silent for a brief moment before a crackling sound was heard. The owner of the mobile phone was in a hurry to get up and had knocked something.
“Where are you now? What does the car look like? Can you see the people inside the car? How many are there? Did they bring…”
Xiao Jingyao found it difficult to blurt out the final words. However, Zhao Youlin understood him. Within an instant, she had a sharp look on her face.
