Upon hearing what Zhao Youlin said, Su He was stupefied. It took her a long while to collect herself. “You… I…”


  When Zhao Youlin saw her like this, the smile on her face became more and more profound. “Haven’t you always been eloquent? Why are you stuttering now? Could it be possible that it is because you have done something behind our backs? However, speaking of which, you have gone through such great lengths trying to hide such a big matter of being pregnant from us, Xiao He. It is only right that you feel guilty for a while.”


  As Zhao Youlin said that, she shot a meaningful glance at Su He’s already somewhat visibly protruding stomach. She felt a little frustrated.

  Su He had deliberately hidden her pregnancy from them during this period, and she put on loose-fitting clothes on purpose, however, if they had shown more concern for her, they would have found out about the existence of her baby earlier.

  When Su He heard the first half of Zhao Youlin’s words, her expression changed again, but when she heard the second half of Zhao Youlin’s words, she was once again stupefied.

  “Is this the only thing that bothered you guys?” Su He pursed her lips and asked with some difficulty.

  They obviously already knew her true identity and knew that she approached them with ulterior motives, why did they not have any intention to reproach her? And they even treated her with the same attitude as before and cared for her?

  Zhao Youlin seemed to see through what Su He was thinking of. The corners of her lips hooked up slightly and she said in a low voice, “What else do you think that should bother us? We should be bothered that you lied to us and did not tell us that you are the daughter of the Su family?”


  Upon hearing that, Su He unconsciously lowered her head a little. Before she could build up any sadness internally, she heard Zhao Youlin add, “But you forgot something, Xiao He, you never did lie to us.”


  Su He’s eyes were suddenly austere and she looked up at Zhao Youlin in surprise.

  Zhao Yulin was amused by her gaze. “You never lied to us about anything. Have you ever said that you were just a normal girl and had nothing to do with the Su family? Have you ever said that you didn’t know Mu Tingfeng and had nothing to do with him?”


  Zhao Youlin looked intently into Su He’s eyes that were unconsciously getting wider and wider because of her words. Then, with a light smile on her face, she said, “No, you haven’t. You have never said that, and we have never asked you about that either. You just chose to stay silent on certain things, you have never lied to us.”


  At that time, the reason why Zhao Youlin wanted to recruit one more secretary was simply because she felt that there were too many oddballs and lunatics around her.

  Xiao Jingyao was Zhao Shunrong’s most trusted right-hand man. After helping her to get familiar with the company, he was bound to return to Zhao Shunrong’s side.

  Leaving only a girl like Li with her, with the fact that she had to face several lunatics who always got aggressive and attacked people easily, it just seemed unsafe.

  At that time, she only had simple requirements for her new secretary, which was she had to be competent, could fight, could protect herself, and had good nature.

  Su He had met all her requirements. As for the rest, such as where did Su He come from, what was her family background, Zhao Youlin never cared about it since the beginning.

  Li, who was standing behind Zhao Youlin, could not help but nod in agreement as well after she heard what Zhao Youlin said.

  She might not know much about the twists and turns among the prominent families, but she was not stupid. She could still tell if the people around her were treating her with sincerity or using her.

  In all honesty, she was indeed shocked when she heard about Su He’s identity. Li had thought that Xiao He was like her all along, just a girl from an ordinary family.

  She did not expect that Su He was actually the young lady from a family that was just as prominent as the Zhao family. No, to be precise, it was a family that was even more prestigious than the Zhao family.

  The people around her suddenly turned into unattainable rich people. It was really a shock.

  Even so, Li got over it pretty quick. It did not matter if Su He was rich or poor, she did not become friends with Su He because of Su He’s family background.

  One had to say, foodies always had a simple and direct mind. If you were good to me, I would be good to you too. As for the rest, it did not really matter.

  Zhao Youlin’s words made Su He stunned. Only after a long time was she able to react. Her clear eyes gradually rippled with soft waves. The corners of her lips, which had been pursed tightly, slowly relaxed.

  Zhao Youlin cocked her eyebrows and mischievously made a twist in her attitude. “However, for the matter of why you hid your relationship with Ye Yan from me, and you approached me solely to use me to get close to Ye Yan, I am a little offended by that. As you know, I had asked you myself back then if you had any special relationship with Ye Yan. And what did you answer me? You said no.”


  Hearing Zhao Youlin mention Ye Yan, Su He’s expression changed instantly. Her hands, which were hanging on top of the blanket, slightly clenched. She said in a muffled voice, “I didn’t… I didn’t hide it from you on purpose. At that time I really didn’t know. I didn’t know what kind of relationship he and I had.”


  In her heart, Ye Yan was the man she had been longing for for more than a decade, but in Ye Yan’s heart, she was just an insignificant strange passerby.

  This was the first time Li saw Su He like this. She could not bear to watch it. She could not help but keep winking at Zhao Youlin, hoping she would leave Su He alone.

  Upon noticing Li’s clumsy winking skills, while Zhao Youlin was worried that Li might turn her watery big eyes into slanting eyes, she did not know if she should laugh or cry.

  “Xiao He, do you still want to be together with Ye Yan?”


  She did not ask if Su He still liked Ye Yan, because the answer to this question was obvious. She just wanted to know if Su He still wanted to be with Ye Yan, if things could still work out between them?

  Su He was silent for a long time before she answered in a faint voice, “Right now, I just want to give birth to this baby in peace and raise him well.”


  She did not answer directly whether she wanted or not, she still left some leeway. It looked like Ye Yan still had some hope.

  Zhao Youlin’s eyes flickered a little. Then, she cleverly changed the topic. She lightly smiled and said, “Forget about Ye Yan. But there is still one thing that I need to settle the score with you.”


  Su He’s attention was quickly distracted by her words. She looked up at Zhao Youlin with a puzzled expression on her face, “What thing?”


  “The baby!”


  “The baby?”


  “That’s right. The baby! You are pregnant and you didn’t tell us about it. Do you know how dangerous it was for you yesterday?” As Zhao Youlin said that, she reached her hand back and directly pulled Li, who was acting as a background, to the front of Su He. She said, “After your accident, you suffered so much blood loss. Li drew a total of 400cc of blood to you. When she came out, her face was so pale. She came to see you today before she can recover completely. Look at her complexion. I was so worried that she would pass out on her way here.”
