Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

A short sentence summed it all up. Mr. Duan just now was the husband who had divorced Zhao Youlin's adoptive mother and chased her out of the house after she was made out to be barren.

No wonder... no wonder Zhao Youlin's expression changed when Mr. Duan mentioned Zhao Youlin's adoptive mother just now. No wonder Zhao Youlin's first question after she got into the car was not about anything else but Mr. Duan's family situation, so it was because of this...

"You've already married and had children. Don't you think it's too late to look for my mother now?" Zhao Youlin recalled Mr. Duan's appearance just now and not only did she not have any sympathy, she even scoffed at him.

If this man had not married another woman after divorcing her mother and had not given birth to a child with another woman, she might have lamented that fate was playing tricks on her.

However, since he had already married and given birth to his own child and family, he had gotten everything he wanted. Who was he trying to show his grief by coming to her mother at this time?

Not to mention that her mother was already dead. What was he trying to do by coming here? To reclaim her mother as his wife? Based on her understanding of her mother, this was absolutely impossible. Did he truly even understand her as a person?

In Zhao Youlin's opinion, whether the sorrow that Mr. Duan revealed just now was sincere or otherwise, he had brought it on himself!

Mu Tingfeng obviously thought the same as Zhao Youlin, so he didn't say anything on Mr. Duan's behalf. Instead, he took the initiative to change the topic to another question. "Just now, you said that your adoptive mother had breast cancer and couldn't be cured... is that true?"

Zhao Youlin took a deep breath. She nodded and said, "At that time, we could only guarantee three meals a day. Life was hard, to begin with, and we didn't have the money to treat her, but that wasn't all. When my mom was diagnosed with cancer, she was already in the terminal stage. The doctor said that there was no cure and every additional day she lived from there on would be a blessing. But even so, my mom would be in a lot of pain."

Zhao Youlin seemed to recall the scene at that time. Her expression changed slightly. "Mu Chen's mom and my mom were very good friends. After learning about this matter, she took the initiative to offer to lend my mom money to treat her, but my mom refused, no matter what. In the end, Mu Chen's mom relented and accompanied her to the end of the journey."

"Then the funeral..."

"At that time, the family was poor, and my mom had already cut off contact with the family because of the incident back then. So when my mom passed away, Mu Chen's mom and I came up with a plan. We simply invited some people that my mom was familiar with and held a simple funeral for her. Then, we sent my mom to the funeral hall to be cremated. It was such a low-key event, the surrounding neighbors only realized that my family was missing a person after some time."

Zhao Youlin didn't cry. Her eyes weren't even red, and her expression didn't change at all. She was calm and self-controlled.

However, Mu Tingfeng felt the torrent raging within her heart. It was so uncomfortable that he wanted to hold her in his arms.

In fact, he did just that. He reached out and held Zhao Youlin in his arms. Mu Tingfeng could feel the chill coming from Zhao Youlin's body, but he could only increase the strength of his embrace. He coaxed her in a low voice, "It's over. It's over."

"I know." Zhao Youlin sighed and buried her face into Mu Tingfeng's arms. If it weren't for Mr. Duan, she wouldn't even want to remember this memory.

However, after meeting Mr. Duan and telling Mu Tingfeng about this, she suddenly felt much more relaxed.

It was over, everything was over! Good or bad. Zhao Youlin had a premonition that this past was really leaving her bit by bit.

On the trip to the orphanage, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng had been in high spirits, but in the end, they returned disappointed.

Zhao Youlin was not in a good mood for a few days, but soon, Zhao Youlin realized that this was not the most annoying thing for her. The thing that really gave her a headache was the man who appeared in front of her once again.

"Ms. Zhao."

The man's face was as gentle and light as usual, but Zhao Youlin just kept feeling angry when she saw his face. The anger that had been accumulating for several days had also increased a lot in an instant. It was really in line with the old saying... when a house leaks, it rains all the time!

"It's quite a coincidence. Mr. Lu, I tend to attract danger around me. Aren't you afraid of a repeat of the other day?"

That day, Lu Xiangtian had gotten into Mu Tingfeng's car with her. They were attacked. As a result, Lu Xiangtian had experienced the bonus thrilling experience of a car chase.

However, what was surprising was that after that incident, everything fell silent. Even the few criminals who had been caught seemed to have disappeared without a trace. She and Mu Tingfeng went to the police station to take a statement. After that, they actually never looked for them again.

Zhao Youlin was not a fool, so how could she not notice that there was something fishy going on? Everything had vanished into thin air. There were only two possibilities. One was that Lu Xiangtian had helped them, and he had dealt with those people very cleanly. The other possibility was that... This incident really had something to do with Lu Sizheng. Therefore, Lu Xiangtian had sealed off all information and dealt with all traces. Except for them, no one else would remember this matter.

Honestly speaking, Zhao Youlin hoped that it was the first possibility, but she could not deny that the second possibility was far greater than the first!

How could Lu Xiangtian not hear the repulsion and sarcasm in Zhao Youlin's words? The corners of his lips subconsciously curled into a bitter smile. If he could, he would not be willing to pester others like this. However, he was determined to get the necklace on Zhao Youlin, because it was very likely that it was the only thought left behind by his deceased wife in this world.

"Ms. Zhao, you're exaggerating. What happened last time was just an accident. There are so many people around you. How could you be attacked by people every day?"

"That may not be the case." Zhao Youlin sneered. "I'm a straightforward person. I've offended many people because of this. It's not unusual for someone to want to take my life."

Lu Xiangtian listened to Zhao Youlin's words and met her gaze. A dark light flashed across his eyes.

"You're very smart, so you should know that there are some things you should say and some things you shouldn't say. You should also know that I came to find you today, not just to pretend to be polite and have some empty talk."
