No matter what, Zhao Youlin felt more at ease after she finally met the former master Mu once.

  When Zhao Youlin left her company, at the same time, Duan Yarong learned that the former master Mu had returned to the country earlier, and had asked Zhao Youlin to make a trip down to the Mu family. For a moment, Duan Yarong got worked up.

  If not for Zhao Shunrong stopping her and reminding her that Zhao Youlin was supposed to return to the Mu family in a couple of days, she would have acted recklessly and ran over to the Mu family. This might result in leaving a poor impression for the former master, or even drag Zhao Youlin’s feet.

  It was only then did Duan Yarong give up on acting upon her knee-jerk reflexes. However, when Zhao Youlin returned home, Duan Yarong could not help but ask her a lot of questions as she was afraid that Zhao Youlin had suffered in the hands of the Mu family.

  The moment Zhao Youlin arrived home, she was pulled to the side by Duan Yarong. Looking at Duan Yarong’s worried face, Zhao Youlin thought it over for a brief moment before she knew what was going on.

  Under Duan Yarong’s interrogation, Zhao Youlin was helpless. At the same time, she was a little moved. She knew that Duan Yarong was worried about her having to suffer in the hands of the Mu family like before. Therefore, she patiently explained to her that the Mu family’s elders treated her better compared to last time.

  Only then did Duan Yarong feel more at ease. She showed her mercy and spared Zhao Youlin.

  Zhao Youlin hugged her warm little child and fell into a deep slumber that night. The next morning, she went to work in an incredibly happy mood.

  Perhaps, Zhao Youlin had been living an easy life recently to the point that even gods were jealous of her. As a result, they deliberately sent someone over to annoy her.

  The moment Zhao Youlin sat inside her office chair, she heard a ruckus outside.

  “Let me go in! Are you all blind?! Don’t you know me?! Get out of my way!”


  Zhao Youlin’s eyes flashed when she heard the voice. She rose and was about to walk out. Just then, there was a loud bang on the office door and someone had barged in from outside.

  “G-G-General Manager, I’m sorry. I have already asked Mr. Zhao to wait outside but he…” Li looked remorseful as she followed behind the man who had barged in.

  Zhao Youlin swept a glance at the furious Zhao Shuncheng before she shot a glance at Li and said, “Alright. I’ll handle this. You may go out first. By the way, send the documents which I’ve just passed to you to the president’s office and ask for his signature.”


  “Document? What…” Li was stunned. Just when she was about to ask further, she looked like she understood something and quickly nodded. She said, “Oh, okay. I’ll send the document to the president right away and have him sign on it.”


  Right after Li finished saying this, she quickly dashed outside. When Zhao Shuncheng saw that she had left, he did not beat around the bush. He went forward and asked in a low voice, “I heard that you are going to remarry the eldest young master of the Mu family, right?”


  Upon hearing his words, Zhao Youlin’s eyes flashed. She walked out from behind her office desk and answered with a faint smile, “Yes, you’re right.”


  Zhao Shuncheng’s anger did not subside upon getting Youlin’s straightforward answer. Instead, his expression only grew increasingly darker.

  “Why didn’t you tell me that you are going to remarry the eldest young master of the Mu family?! If not for me overheard the news from someone else, are you even planning to tell me about it?!”


  Zhao Youlin was stunned upon facing Zhao Shuncheng’s matter-of-factly rebuke. It took her some time before she snapped out of her daze. She let out a bark of laughter as if she had heard the greatest joke on Earth.

  “Letting you know, huh? Uncle, why must I tell you about the news of me going to remarry Mu Tingfeng? You’re only one of my elders, an elder who hardly interacts with me. If I’m willing, I’ll inform you about it. If I’m not willing, I won’t. It is my duty to tell you but if I don’t, it means we’re not really that close either. Who are you to scream like a banshee in my territory?!”


  “You!” Zhao Shuncheng was rendered speechless by Zhao Youlin’s cruel speech. His complexion kept changing and in the end, his expression turned as dark as thunderclouds. “No matter what, I am your father! You are in my blood! You don’t even exist without me! How dare you treat me this way?!”


  Zhao Youlin was teased by Zhao Shuncheng’s shameless remark. She crossed her arms and smirked, “My father? Uncle, do you have a few screws loose in your head ever since you left the company? How come you are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s so early and tend to forget things? If I remember correctly, your name, Zhao Shuncheng, is not stated in my father’s column in my family account book!”


  At that time, when the former master had decided to pass her on as the adopted daughter to Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong, the formalities had been very well done.

  Not long after he announced the news of passing on Zhao Youlin to Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong, the former master had already let her sign a document.

  She was already an adult and could change his guardian based on her own judgment. Moreover, the former master was the head of the Zhao family. Therefore, under the premise of mutual consent, Zhao Youlin’s household registration had long been changed to Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong. They were her actual parents these days.

  “You unfilial child!” Zhao Shuncheng’s face had turned so dark that it was darker than night as he shouted at Zhao Youlin.

  However, Zhao Youlin did not bother with him. She snickered and interrupted him. She easily refuted his words, “Unfilial child, huh? Hah! Uncle, save these words for your children. You’re only my uncle and not my father. I won’t pay my filial piety to you for nothing. Only my father has the right to judge if I’m being filial. Who are you to say so?! What right do you have to say I lack filial piety?!”


  “You… You… You…! You traitor! If only I knew you are so ungrateful and stone-hearted, I would have strangled you to death in the cradle when you were born and saved myself the trouble of raising you only to piss me off!” Zhao Shuncheng was truly angry with Zhao Youlin as he pointed at her and cussed loudly.

  Looking at the unhinged Zhao Shuncheng, the hint of warmth in Zhao Youlin’s eyes gradually vanished. When he finished saying his words, she snorted, “Well, Uncle, it looks like I really have to thank you for sparing my life, huh?”


  Zhao Shuncheng was rendered speechless. He opened his mouth and was about to say something. However, Zhao Youlin quickly interrupted him, “However, it’s best to clarify certain things now. Uncle, did you just mention that you are the one who raised me up? Hah! I hate hearing this part the most. Ask yourself if you have truly raised me up before. As far as I’m concerned, my mother was the one who raised me up before I was five years old. At the age of five to ten years old, I was the one who struggled to survive. As for the incident that happened after I was fifteen years old, I believe you also have the knowledge that I was already married to the Mu family, and you no longer had the need to raise me up anymore…… Uncle, how can you seriously be so shameless to say that you were the one who had raised me up over the past?!”
