Zhao Youlin naturally saw everything. She remained quiet while mocking the old coots for being so ignorant in her heart. It was not that she did not want to mock them just yet; it was just that she was waiting for the opportunity to teach the gossipers a great lesson.

  One day, one of the chiefs who had frequent contact with Zhao Youlin summoned a huge amount of courage and questioned her if she was involved in Zhao Yifei’s accident.

  Zhao Youlin stared at him as if looking at an idiot before she snorted, “When I was married, my grandfather and father each contributed five percent of the company’s shares to me as my engagement gifts. In addition to their shares, I have five percent of the company’s shares myself, and this adds up to a grand total of fifteen percent shares. In other words, I am already one of the major shareholders in the company. My shares alone have already exceeded Zhao Yifei’s and his family. Do you think there is a need for me to do anything more to him?”


  One had to say that a domineering explanation was always better than a patient and calm explanation. Zhao Youlin spoke the words with extreme arrogance. As such, the chief found himself wordless in refuting her.

  Those people whose faiths had shaken felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and quickly snapped out of their dazes.

  Zhao Youlin was right. From the beginning, she and Zhao Yifei had already started from different starting points. Would a superior who looked down on others from a domineering position lower her prestigious standard, and lay a hand on someone who was already on the brink of collapsing?

  As such, the gossip that had spread like wildfire immediately came to a halt and vanished into thin air after Zhao Youlin spoke the words.

  The directors who had spread the word turned as white as sheets and felt deeply humiliated when they learned of it.

  However, since everyone had made a fuss out of it, it was difficult for Zhao Youlin to act as if she was not aware of it.

  Since everyone was aware of it, logically speaking, as Zhao Yifei’s superior and relative, it would not reflect well on Zhao Youlin if she did not show her concern for Zhao Yifei, despite the fact that if she did, she would most likely be mocked by him. However, the fact was, he had already done so to her.

  Of course, Zhao Youlin would not be so stupid as to pay him a visit on her own, only to get herself pissed off. Therefore, she rationally assigned a representative to deliver some gifts for Zhao Yifei and show concern for him out of courtesy and formality.

  As soon as Sun Fengzi and the rest of her group learned that the gifts were from Zhao Youlin, their grateful demeanor instantly darkened. If it had not been for Zhao Shunchang stopping her by the side, Sun Fengzi would have kicked the person out.

  However, even though she did not lay a hand on the person, before he departed, Sun Fengzi snorted, “Hypocrite.”


  The person was taken aback, and he gradually took wider strides as he walked away. He made quips to himself as he walked out of the room. ‘No wonder the General Manager is reluctant to pay a visit to them. Even if she comes over, she would also be chastised. I wonder how people who lack basic courtesy can even survive today. Sigh… The great families are complicated. It’s best to get out of here as soon as possible.’


  Zhao Shunchang naturally heard his wife’s sneer. He usually dared not complain about anything. However, today, he no longer held himself back and grumbled, “How can you say that? Youlin is so kind enough to…”


  “Kind?” Sun Fengzi raised her voice and cast a disdainful glance at Zhao Shunchang. “That bitch wishes Yifei died early so that she can usurp the Zhao family’s fortunes. Only an idiot like you will think that she meant well by sending someone over to visit him. If she has good intentions, why didn’t she come on her own? It’s obvious that she’s guilty. She could even be the major culprit who contributed to Yifei’s accident. And these…”


  Sun Fengzi lifted the things that the person had sent over and threw them on the floor in disdain. “These are the gifts from that bitch. She may have even added something noxious to them in order to aggravate Yifei’s health.”


  “You…” Zhao Shunchang and Sun Fengzi had been married for many years. He always put up with Sun Fengzi and dared not criticize her.

  This was the first time in his life arguing with Sun Fengzi. At the same time, he finally realized Sun Fengzi had always been so unreasonable.

  “What’s wrong with me? After spending so many years with me, is this your first time knowing that I’m such a straightforward person, huh? Hmph! You’re becoming more daring by the day, and you’ve even dared to speak back to me! Do you feel unhappy when I criticize your niece? Haha! Still, I must say, despite you treating that bitch as your relative, she may never have treated you as her elder. You should reflect on yourself. Zhao Youlin is the general manager of the company. You, on the other hand, look at your position inside the company. The staff are laughing at you behind your back. You’re already so old and yet, you’re still under the control of your niece. Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself? Yet, you still have the audacity to scream at me…”


  Zhao Shunchang’s face turned red after being taunted by Sun Fengzi. He was livid and wanted to refute her. However, just then, he was interrupted by a furious, hoarse voice.

  “You two are very noisy! Stop it! Get out if you want to continue to shout at each other!”


  The couple was stunned. It took them some time before they snapped out of their dazes and remembered who the person who had spoken was.

  “Yifei, you’re awake. You scared the hell out of me. Don’t worry, regarding this matter, I’ll certainly…” Sun Fengzi quickly lunged by the bedside agitatedly.

  Unfortunately, before she had finished speaking, Zhao Yifei had grabbed his forehead and shouted, “Get out!”


  “What?”


  “I say get out! Don’t you hear me?”


  “Yifei…”


  “Get lost!”


  Sun Fengzi was shocked when his son refused to acknowledge her. She looked at Zhao Yifei dumbfoundedly and did not know what to do.

  Zhao Shunchang was the first to react to this. He went forward and grabbed her hand. He said, “Yifei has just awoken. He must have felt uncomfortable. We shouldn’t stay here and disturb him. Let him take a rest first. It’s more urgent to go out and find a doctor to check on him.”


  Zhao Shunchang’s words had reminded Sun Fengzi. At the same time, he had also given her the option of stepping down with dignity. Sun Fengzi forced a smile and said gently, “Yifei, lie down on the bed first and wait for us. We’ll look for a doctor for you right away.”


  Zhao Yifei touched his aching head. He did not even bother to give a glance at them. However, his annoyed expression had clearly told them how impatient he was at that moment.

  Sun Fengzi’s smile grew increasingly awkward. She heaved a sigh. She gave a look at Zhao Yifei before she reluctantly left the ward with Zhao Shunchang.

  Right after Sun Fengzi and Zhao Shunchang had left, Zhao Yifei’s annoying expression faded. Instead, his face was distorted in pain.

  He ignored the saline drip that was attached to his arm. Zhao Yifei’s first reaction when the pain that felt like a file scratching in his wound subsided was to straighten his back and look at his legs.

  When he was confirmed that his legs were still intact, he felt another pain, reminding him that his legs were not completely useless. Zhao Yifei was relieved. He leaned backward and laid on the bed……
