Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Zhao Youlin and Duan Yarong entered through the door. As expected, she saw the former master already seated in the living hall. She greeted him softly, “Grandpa.”

The former master was used to seeing Zhao Youlin’s spirited look. When he saw her looking spiritless, he could not help but ask anxiously, “Why are you looking so down? Did you hurt yourself?”

“No, I didn’t hurt myself,” Zhao Youlin sat opposite the former master with Duan Yarong, “Those people who hunted me got injured, as well as a few others who were dragged down by me.”

“Dragged down by you?”

Before the former master could ask anything in detail, Zhao Shunrong had already entered with Xiao Jingyao. When he heard Zhao Youlin’s words, his face darkened, “What happened?”

Zhao Youlin looked up, only to see the crowd was staring at her wide-eyed, waiting for her explanation. She heaved a sigh, and she explained the entire story.

Their expressions darkened when they heard her words. Zhao Shunrong and the former master locked gazes. Then, he asked coldly, “Do you still remember what those people look like?”

Zhao Youlin nodded, “Yes, I do. But, I think those people might not show up any time soon in order to prevent becoming the limelight. Even so, I think we could start with the person arrested. He’s a useful source of clues. If we don’t make good use of him, it would be a waste, right?”

The two nodded. Zhao Shunrong turned around, and he looked at Xiao Jingyao, “Where’s that man now?”

“He’s being held in the police station.”

Zhao Shunrong cocked an eyebrow, “Did you lodge the police report?”

Xiao Jingyao did not answer. Instead, Zhao Youlin snapped in, “Uncle Xiao didn’t call the police, it’s one of my… a friend of mine who was coincidentally on that route, and he recognized me in the car. So, he lodged the police report. Luckily, he has called the police. Those people departed only when they heard the police siren.”

Zhao Shunrong did not say anything after Zhao Youlin said so.

Meanwhile, Duan Yarong was happy upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s words, “Your friend? Is that person a he or a she?”

“Male…”

As soon as she heard the person was a man, Duan Yarong’s eyes sparkled, “So, it’s a he! Why haven’t I heard about him from you before, Youlin? Is he good-looking? Does he have a pleasant personality? Is he married? If so, we owed him our gratitude. If he’s free someday, invite him to our house. I’ll personally prepare meals for him.”

Zhao Youlin could not bear Duan Yarong’s sudden enthusiasm. She had wished to escape from that man, much less invite him to have a meal in her house!

Zhao Youlin had accidentally dug a hole and buried herself. She smiled dryly, and she said, “Mother, what are you thinking? We’re just normal friends, and we’ve met only a few times.”

“You can’t be too certain about it. Your friend appeared just at the right time. He appeared when you were in danger on the road. This is fate! Let me tell you…”

Duan Yarong was getting off-topic. Zhao Youlin felt helpless. She shifted her gaze, and she cast a glance at Zhao Shunrong, seeking his help.

Zhao Shunrong seemed to agree that it was inappropriate to continue with that topic. He faked a cough, and he forcefully switched the topic back, “Since that man is in the police station, it would be a bit troublesome. You have to keep an eye on him and deal with the police if need be. Try to think of a way to fish out information about the mastermind from that person.”

Xiao Jingyao nodded in response to him.

Duan Yarong was interrupted. She no longer insisted on planning to invite Zhao Youlin’s friend to her house. As she was listening to their discussion, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned back. She looked at Zhao Youlin, and she asked, “Youlin, about Madam Mu…”

Right after Duan Yarong spoke, the crowd gathered their attention again.

“Madam Mu? Which Madam Mu?” The former master looked at the embarrassed Zhao Youlin with interest. He grinned as he asked.

“Who else could she be? She’s Mu Tingfeng’s mother, the madam of the Mu family who often stays overseas,” Duan Yarong was more or less wary of the members of the Mu family due to Mu Tingfeng. As such, she treated Su Ruixin the same.

“So, it’s her. Is she related to Youlin’s incident?” Zhao Shunrong furrowed his eyebrows deeply. His expression grew increasingly troubled.

“Not really. She… um… She was dragged down by me as well.” Faced with the gossiping gazes from everyone, the corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips twitched.

She truthfully told them everything from how she bumped into Su Ruixin at Joy’s kindergarten entrance, and under Su Ruixin’s lousy pleading, she gave in to her by letting her get into her car. Little did they know they would encounter danger while they were on the way.

Of course, Zhao Youlin also inevitably mentioned the incident that happened inside the car. Su Ruixin had heroically helped her, and she hurt herself. In fact, she was not that seriously injured.

After hearing Zhao Youlin’s narration, some of them looked happy, some of them looked sorrowful, while some remained silent.

Zhao Shunrong was happy because Su Ruixin had not been seriously wounded. Otherwise, judging from how the current master of the Mu family valued his wife, the moment Su Ruixin suffered any injuries in the car, regardless of whether this was Zhao Youlin’s intention, they might be blamed, and Zhao Youlin’s safety would be at stake.

Duan Yarong was the sorrowful one. She had always wanted Zhao Youlin to cut ties with Mu Tingfeng. However, his mother had protected Zhao Youlin once. In the future, would Zhao Youlin still be entangled with that rascal?

On the other hand, the former master did not show any expressions on his face. He looked to be deep in thought, and one was unable to see what he was thinking. However, if one were to watch him carefully, one could identify his ancient eyes were filled with a hint of glee as if he was waiting to watch a good show.

Zhao Shunrong cleared his throat, breaking the awkward atmosphere as he said to Duan Yarong, “Since Madam Mu has lent help to Zhao Youlin today, you could bring some gift and express our gratitude in person.”

Duan Yarong hesitated. In the end, she nodded.

Zhao Youlin keenly felt the strange atmosphere in the living hall. She hesitated if she should inform all of them about her taking care of a certain one in the hospital tomorrow.

While she was caught in her dilemma, someone gave her the push so that she could not brush the matter off and pretended to know nothing about it.

“General Manager, don’t you have anything else to say? For instance, tomorrow…”

Zhao Youlin fell speechless.

She swore she certainly saw a hint of glee in that man’s eyes, who was hard on the outside but soft on the inside.

She should not have told him about this when they were on their way home. She had asked him to be her driver during this period of time!

“What’s with tomorrow?”

Looking at Duan Yarong’s questioning glance, Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh. She blurted out the words as if she was destined to do so, “Tomorrow, I’m going to the hospital to take care of Mu Tingfeng.”

There was a dead silence in the living hall. After some time, a loud shriek rang throughout the entire main residence of the Zhao family, “What?!”
