Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Zhao Youlin narrowed her eyes dangerously. Was this man finally losing his patience? Was he going to take action when words failed?

Zhao Youlin smiled coldly. She was not the slightest bit afraid of Lu Xiangtian's threat hidden in his words. "Since we're talking past each other, you can just leave now. I don't want to waste our time. I'm very busy and don't have time to talk nonsense with others."

As Zhao Youlin spoke, she was ready to walk past Lu Xiangtian and leave. However, Lu Xiangtian was determined to take the thing back from Zhao Youlin. How could he let her leave, just like that?

Seeing that Zhao Youlin was about to leave, he immediately reached out and blocked her way. His face, which had a modest smile before, finally revealed his terrifying fangs at this moment.

"Ms. Zhao, my patience is limited. The reason why I have tolerated your rudeness time and time again is because I know that with your intelligence, you should know what to do for the both of us. But this doesn't mean that you can reject me time and time again. You should know that sometimes, appropriate defiance is the making of a laudable personality, but excessive defiance is stupidity and an overestimation of oneself."

Hearing Lu Xiangtian's words, Zhao Youlin suddenly stopped and subconsciously turned to look at the middle-aged man who was right in front of her.

This man was very powerful, very imposing, and very powerful. However, Zhao Youlin had never been threatened like this in her entire life. Even if it did happen, she had already made the other party pay a heavy price.

Zhao Youlin was not in a hurry to leave. She crossed her arms and looked at the man in front of her meaningfully. She chuckled and said, "Mr. Lu, are you finally baring your fangs? If I remember correctly, I have already told you a long time ago that I like that necklace very much, so I'm not going to give it to anyone, anyone!"

Zhao Youlin paused and glanced at Lu Xiangtian mockingly. She smiled coldly. "Mr. Lu, you're no longer young and strong, but you shouldn't be so old that you are failing to comprehend human language, right? If that's the case, what gave you the illusion that I was playing hard to get? What made you so sure, or rather, so confident, that I would give this necklace to you in the end? How much did you overestimate yourself?"

Lu Xiangtian's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Zhao Youlin with a sense of danger and killing intent.

Zhao Youlin naturally noticed this, but she looked into his eyes without any fear. The two of them stood face to face, not more than half a meter apart. Neither moved. They simply locked eyes. However, bystanders could clearly sense the undercurrents between the two of them.

The old butler who had come with Lu Xiangtian was slightly surprised when he saw this scene. After all, he had followed Lu Xiangtian for many years. When Lu Xiangtian was angry, no one dared to meet his eagle-like eyes. Even he himself could not help but tremble when he felt Lu Xiangtian's anger.

However, the girl in front of him was not fazed even in the slightest. If anything, she shot out a terrifying glare of her own.

The old butler looked at Zhao Youlin in surprise. For a moment, he thought he was watching a young Lu Xiangtian again.

Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to shock this old man who had seen many storms.

Lu Xiangtian stared into Zhao Youlin's eyes. Although there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, most of it was drowned out by his displeasure and anger from being provoked.

After a long while, he finally took the lead to speak. However, the content of his words was no longer as gentle as before. Instead, it was filled with overbearing power. "If I want something, it's mine."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youlin's eyes also turned cold. She retorted unceremoniously, "If I'm not giving something away, no one will have it."

Lu Xiangtian was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. His face turned colder and colder. "It seems that you really don't intend to hand over that necklace."

Zhao Youlin smiled. "That necklace is mine. I can give it to whoever I want. I can keep it if I want to. You may be an elder, but you are an elder of my family. You are overstepping your boundaries."

Zhao Youlin suddenly thought of something and deliberately paused. She chuckled and said, "However, I'm curious. A man of your position and power, claiming anything you want for yourself. If you really want a necklace, there are many expensive necklaces in this world for you to choose from. Why would you keep bugging me about this inconspicuous necklace?"

Lu Xiangtian was shocked. He met Zhao Youlin's probing gaze. He said in a hoarse voice, "If I remember correctly, back at the banquet, I told you that necklace was very similar to what an old friend of mine had."

"Very similar?"

"No, not very similar. It's the necklace! It was an old friend of mine. It must have cost you a lot of money. Don't worry, Ms. Zhao. As long as you are willing to give this necklace to me, I will definitely pay well."

Who cares about your mistreatment! Zhao Youlin replied disdainfully in her heart, but Lu Xiangtian was so sure that this necklace belonged to an old friend of his. Her heart skipped a beat. "I'm the current owner of this necklace, so I think I deserve to know who is your old friend, right?"

"This... This shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?"

"How is it none of my business? You kept saying that the necklace belonged to your old friend, but you won't say which old friend. How could I believe your words? How could I hand the necklace to you with ease?" Zhao Youlin stopped speaking. Her eyes suddenly flickered, and she said with a low laugh, "Or does it perhaps have a shameful past?"

"It's not that I don't want to explain it!" Zhao Youlin's aggressive and hard-and-soft methods had a very good effect.

Lu Xiangtian's face darkened, but in the end, he complied with Zhao Youlin's wishes and told her the truth. "That necklace is... It was my wife's relic when she was alive."

Zhao Youlin felt a bolt of lightning strike her unexpectedly, and she was completely stunned. Lu Xiangtian's wife... his wife... how could it be? This was clearly...

Zhao Youlin suddenly had a guess in her mind, and this guess was so ridiculous that she found it hard to believe.

If... If it was really as she had guessed, then what was going on with Lu Shu? Why... why were things getting more confusing?
