“Isn’t she around here?” Zhao Yifei fixed his gaze on Zhao Youlin, who sat behind her office desk. He sneered before turning his head around and staring at Li.
Li was used to the cold stares of Mu Tingfeng, Han Yichen, and the rest of their groups. She felt nothing but disgust when she saw Zhao Yifei’s stare.
She felt especially so when Zhao Yifei stormed into Zhao Youlin’s office, ignoring her attempts to stop him. As such, Li had a very poor impression of him.
Zhao Youlin glared at Zhao Yifei. She did not react to his sarcasm. She shot a glance at Li and said, “You may leave first.”
Li was worried about Zhao Youlin. However, she was aware that if she continued to stay on, she would only end up dragging her legs. As such, she gave a nod before turning around and leaving.
Right after Li left, Zhao Yifei’s expression darkened. He stared at Zhao Youlin, who sat behind the office desk, as if surveying the dead and wishing to skin her alive.
Zhao Youlin turned a blind eye to him. She looked down and continued to handle the stacks of documents while saying calmly, “Yifei, you’re back! Congratulations! You have to work hard in the future so that you won’t disappoint your father.”
Zhao Youlin’s nonchalant remark had inevitably agitated Zhao Yifei. However, this time, he did not simply lay his hand on her like last time. Instead, he sneered and asked her back, “It has taken me great pains to return to the company. Youlin, even though you don’t have anything else to say to me, you should, at the very least, celebrate and welcome me.”
Zhao Youlin paused her hand movement. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She had not expected that the rascal had become cleverer after learning from the lesson last time. He learned to gain verbal advantage.
Thinking of this, Zhao Youlin did not slow down her hand movement, nor did she look up. “Celebrate and welcome you, huh? Yifei, there are many talents in the company. Many people want to celebrate with you and congratulate you, so it’s okay that I’m not one of them. As for the welcoming party… Yifei, I thought you already had your welcoming party celebrated with Youming last time, right? Do you still want to ask for more from me?”
Upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s words, Zhao Yifei’s eyes flashed. He slammed his hands on Zhao Youlin’s office desk as he said teasingly, “What if I insist on having one?”
Zhao Youlin still did not look up at him, and smirked, “I’m sorry. I’ve been a little busy lately. I’m not as free as Youming, who was able to receive you. Yifei, please leave.”
Zhao Youlin’s merciless words had angered Zhao Yifei. His expression contorted and stared at the top of Zhao Youlin’s head. He gritted his teeth as he said, “That’s not up to you to say so!”
While he was saying this, he stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Youlin’s head. Zhao Youlin had seen everything from her peripheral vision. She snorted to herself. ‘It’s difficult for a person to change his nature. It has only taken him a while before he showed his true colors. How shallow his faith is!’
Zhao Youlin gloated over his misfortune while avoiding Zhao Yifei’s outstretched hand. At the same time, she used her hand that was free of the pen to clutch Zhao Yifei’s wrist agilely. She then dragged the attacker to the table by pulling his wrist with all her might. The next moment, she flipped her body around, leaped onto the table, and sat on Zhao Yifei’s back with her buttocks.
Zhao Youlin pressured on top of Zhao Yifei, whose height was about 170cm, and was neither too heavy nor too light. Zhao Yifei grunted. His pupils dilated, and he tried to struggle. However, his hands had been clutched and he could not move.
The corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips curved upward when she noticed Zhao Yifei’s reddened side profile. She swirled the pen in her hand and it made a crisp sound. “Yifei, don’t simply move. Otherwise, my pen, which is very sharp and unlike other poor quality signature pens, could pierce your hand.”
Zhao Yifei’s entire body shuddered. He screamed in panic, “I dare you!”
“Why wouldn’t I? Don’t forget that I snapped your arm in front of the crowd not long ago. Now, I’m only going to pierce your hand. Do you think I have no guts to do it?”
Zhao Yifein shut up. He bit his lips and looked angry.
When Zhao Youlin saw him in his current state, she narrowed her eyes and snorted, “Zhao Yifei, you never learned from your lessons. Do you really believe that you have become invincible with the support of those old coots who are like antique pieces, huh? It’s okay that you mess with Zhao Youming immediately after you return to the company. However, how dare you even come here and look for me? Zhao Youming is a malicious and scheming person, but he lacks skill. As a result, he could only suffer losses when he came into contact with you. I, on the other hand, am not someone who could be bullied so easily, yet you still dared to come over and challenge me. Are you ready to pay the price?”
“Zhao Youlin, stop behaving so arrogantly!” Zhao Yifei hated when Zhao Youlin looked down at him in a domineering position. How could he not explode when Zhao Youlin said those words to him on top of him?
“Arrogant? You’re right. I’m feeling very proud of myself. Why not? I am the daughter-in-law of the Mu family. I have a capable husband. My father adores me. Besides, I have an elder brother who shares a close relationship with me and could give me a hand in my business. I have a lot of things that you desire. Why couldn’t I be proud of myself, huh?”
“You…” Zhao Yifei was livid and looked frightening. His eyes were filled with reluctance. However, he had to admit that what Zhao Youlin had said was facts.
It was true that Zhao Youlin had capable people like Zhao Shunrong as her father and Han Yichen as her elder brother. She also had an excellent husband, Mu Tingfeng. Meanwhile, Zhao Yifei had only a weak father and a mother who had to rely on her own family to be so domineering.
Before the appearance of Zhao Youlin, Zhao Yifei had matter-of-factly thought himself as God’s favored one, and he would own the Zhao family’s everything, all thanks to his mother who had instilled him with these principles ever since he was young.
However, ever since Zhao Youlin’s appearance, or to be precise, ever since she returned to the Zhao family, there had been a drastic change to the situation.
Before Zhao Youlin was married into the Mu family, she was like Cinderella who failed to gain favor in the eyes of her parents. She was weak and easily bullied. In fact, everyone could step on her. After she was married into the Mu family, her husband did not like her. He despised her. She failed to gain favor from her husband despite giving birth to a child with great pains. To make the matter worse, she had also dragged her son’s down, causing his son to be abandoned by the family.
How could someone as despicable as her turn over a new leaf all of a sudden? She had not only won the former master’s appreciation, but she was also passed on to Zhao Shunrong to be his adopted daughter. Even her ex-husband, Mu Tingfeng, who used to abandon her, had pursued her all over again. On top of that, Zhao Youlin had easily recovered her elder brother, Han Yichen.
All this had happened within a year. Zhao Youlin, who was originally below his feet and someone whom he looked down at, had now stepped on his head and looked down on him. She had taken away things that he thought were supposed to belong to him so smoothly.. With such a huge contrast, how could he be willing to accept all these? How could he be willing to submit to her?
