Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful
Chapter 502 - Meeting The In-Laws (2)
Su He was malnourished because she had lost her appetite during the first few months after she was pregnant. Her appetite had finally improved during the recent one to two months. When she could finally get nourished again, an accident like this had befallen upon her. Although she was more scared than hurt and the mother and the baby were both safe, the doctor still advised her to stay in the hospital for observation temporarily.
For this reason, Su Jifeng had been retaining a dark expression for a few days. And the reason for that was this hospital was owned by the Ye family. It really frustrated him!
And this frustration continued to grow under the situation that Ye Yan kept showing up in front of him. If it was not because of the doctor saying that the condition of the patient and the baby had just stabilized, and it was not advised to transfer them, he would have transferred Su He to his hospital already!
Su Jifeng had never been a person who was willing to resign himself to anything, but for the sake of his sister, who had grown up with him, Su Jifeng had to compromise.
He pulled a long face every day because he had been seeing Ye Yan, who kept showing up and pacing back and forth in front of Su He’s ward. Su Jifeng really hated him. He secretly wished that he had beaten him up even harder when he had the opportunity, so that this guy here would not have been able to get up.
When he takes Su He out of this hospital a few days later, he would beat this guy up for good!
It was quite a mess, and quite a show in the hospital, though Zhao Youlin did not have the mood to enjoy the show, as she had her own problem to take care of now.
The third day after Su He’s accident, Zhao Youlin suddenly received a call from Mu Tingfeng. He informed her that Old Master Mu, who was supposed to come back on the weekend, had returned earlier than planned, and he hoped that she could take the time out and meet with him in the Mu Residence in the afternoon.
Old Master Mu’s sudden earlier return had thrown Zhao Youlin off guard. After Zhao Youlin hung up the phone, her face instantly turned gloomy.
That terrifying expression had frightened Li, who came in to get Zhao Youlin’s signature for the documents she was holding in her hands. She shuddered and reflexively took two steps back. She took a glance at the sign on the office door to make sure she had not walked into the wrong room before taking a deep breath and asked with a dry smile, “General Manager, did something happen?”
As soon as Li finished speaking, she clearly felt Zhao Youlin directing her cold gaze at her. With a jolt, she reflexively tried to run away.
*Sob. Xiao He, please come back soon. General Manager is so scary. I can’t handle it on my own!
Unfortunately, Su He was recuperating in the hospital at this moment. She did not hear her cry for help at all.
Under Zhao Youlin’s intense glare, Li just stood in front of her like this for a few minutes. When she thought she was about to lose it and pass out, she suddenly heard Zhao Youlin heave a sigh and say in a low voice, “If you have anything to report, we’ll talk about it tomorrow. I need to go out in the afternoon.”
“What?” Li was stunned. “Why are you going out?”
Zhao Youlin’s eyes were slightly darkened. She uttered the words, “Meeting! The! In-laws!”
Li was dumbfounded!
By the time Zhao Youlin arrived at Mu Residence, it was already afternoon. As soon as she stepped out of the car, she saw Mu Tingfeng waiting at the front door. She was slightly surprised, “Why are you standing outside?”
Mu Tingfeng walked down from the staircase. He held Zhao Youlin’s hand and said, “I thought you would be arriving. So I came out to take you there.”
Zhao Youlin was stunned. Of course she could hear that this was just Mu Tingfeng’s excuse.
She remembered clearly that she only told Mu Tingfeng in the morning that she would come over in the afternoon, she had not mentioned the specific time to him. Yet Mu Tingfeng was able to stand at the gate to pick her up on time now. It could not be a coincidence.
Zhao Youlin thought more about it and she understood the reason why Mu Tingfeng had waited for her on purpose. He must be worried that she would be too nervous, that’s why he came out here to pick her up, hoping he could relieve her stress.
Upon figuring that out, the expression on Zhao Youlin’s face had a momentary reprieve, and there were a few traces of joy and appreciation in her eyes.
It was the end of autumn, but the sun was still a little strong, especially in the afternoon. The sunlight was really strong. Although Mu Tingfeng’s face was as stoic as ever, the sweat on his head and the redness on his cheeks due to the rising temperature were not deceiving her, this guy here had definitely stood her for quite some time.
Mu Tingfeng took in every bit of change of expression on Zhao Youlin’s face, though he did not point it out. He said in a deep voice, “Let’s go in.”
They just walked in holding hands. As soon as they stepped into the Mu Residence’s front door, Zhao Youlin clearly felt the strange atmosphere in the Mu Residence.
Unlike her previous visit and the memory of the time she spent in the Mu family, the atmosphere of the entire Mu Residence today was very depressing.
All the servants, who were usually busy working on the chores, were standing in the corner obediently and hanging their heads down like lifeless statues today.
If they had not moved and greeted them when they walked past them, proving that they were still alive, Zhao Youlin was almost going to see them as ornaments inside the house.
Probably because they knew Zhao Youlin was coming today, on their way inside, other than a few servants, Zhao Youlin did not see other people.
Mu Tingfeng took Zhao Youlin up to the third floor of the villa unhindered. After a few turns, they reached the door of a study.
The old butler had been waiting at the door for a long time. He smiled cordially at them when he saw them coming. “Ms. Zhao, you are here. Old Master Mu, Master Mu and Madam Mu are waiting inside. Please come in.”
The few people inside the room heard the movement and stopped talking at once. They turned their heads to look at the door.
Su Ruixin’s eyes brightened up the moment she saw Zhao Youlin. She stood up from her chair immediately. If Old Master Mu wasn’t there, she would have rushed over and held Zhao Youlin’s hand already. “Youlin, you are here. Come and say hi to grandpa.”
Zhao Youlin smiled at Su Ruixin before turning to look at the old man, who was sitting in the main seat.
Old Master Mu was about the same age as Old Master Zhao, but they gave out a very different feeling. Old Master Zhao also had the authoritative aura of a leader, but he was still a businessman after all. Compared to the authoritativeness, he seemed more scheming like a businessman.
As for this old man in front of her, he could easily intimidate people and make people afraid to look at him by just standing there without having to say anything.
Zhao Youlin studied Old Master Mu imperceptibly and greeted him graciously, “Hello, Grandpa Mu.”
Old Master Mu did not answer. He just turned his head to look at Mu Xiaoyang.
Mu Xiaoyang understood it at once. He turned his head and said to Su Ruixin, “Dad just said he was craving for the osmanthus pastry you made. Since we have time now, let’s go to the kitchen.”
Su Ruixin looked at Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng. She had some concerns, but in the end, she still said nothing. She nodded and followed Mu Xiaoyang out of the room.
After Su Ruixin and Mu Xiao Yang left, only Mu Tingfeng, Zhao Youlin and Old Master Mu were left in the study. The atmosphere in the room became a little awkward for a while.
While Zhao Youlin was frowning and pondering what to say to break the impasse, Old Master Mu suddenly uttered, “You… are not Zhao Youlin, are you?”
