The butler’s words were actually a disguised warning to Alice. The former master did not like those particular Mu family members Alice had stood up against today. Before he could blame Alice, they had already become “outsiders.” If it had been any other master…… if she had retorted so impulsively, she would have been chased out long ago. How would she have the chance to attempt defending herself?

  Alice was not stupid. She quickly understood the butler’s hint and giggled. With a fawning expression, she said, “I know, I know. Uncle Zhao, you’re the best. I’ll definitely listen to you in the future and do my job properly. I won’t be so impulsive anymore.”


  Only then did the butler’s expression become a little better. He gave Alice a hard-bitten but soft-hearted glare and said coldly, “Have you finished all your work? You’re so free, wandering around outside.”


  Alice immediately stood up and said seriously, “I’m going back to work now.” She did not give the butler a chance to interrupt her. She turned around and left in a hurry. She looked like she was running away.

  The butler looked at her back and shook his head helplessly. He then looked at the people who were playing not far away. His serious face gradually softened.

  The house was too big and cold. Even Su Ruixin, Mu Xiaoyang, and the others came back looking empty and lifeless. But now, with the Young Madam and Young Master Joy, the family had gained some life. It could be considered a family.

  The former master and Mu Tingfeng were both men of action. In just one night, the punishment that the former master had meted out took effect.

  The next morning, a large group of relatives and friends came to the main residence of the Mu family. They were clamoring outside the door to see the former master.

  The staff of the Mu family seemed to have expected this. They chased them out before they could enter.

  The former master had made it clear that from now on, the Mu family and all the companies of the Mu family had nothing to do with these people.

  Since that was the case, these people were no longer the masters of the house, so there was no need for them to be polite with them.

  The few women and their relatives who were originally hoping for a glimmer of hope finally realized that the former master was not going to go back on his words. He was really going to sever relations with them.

  At that moment, everyone felt that the sky above their heads was about to collapse.

  In fact, from the attitude of those women, one could more or less know what kind of character these women’s family members were.

  They were usually so arrogant and poised, relying on the name of the Mu family. By being somewhat related to the Mu family, the people in the circle more or less had to give them some face. Even if they were bullied…… they could only silently swallow it in their stomachs, admitting that they were unlucky.

  However, without this halo, they were nothing. Those who had been humiliated by them in the past would come to them one by one and eat their flesh and suck their blood.

  With this thought, everyone panicked. They looked at the women with even more dissatisfaction and resentment.

  However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, time could not be reversed. There was no medicine for regret in this world. They could not even see the former master, let alone ask him to rescind his orders.

  Seeing that they could not enter the door, of course, some decided to wait at the door.

  Unfortunately, their plan was quickly seen through by the Mu family’s guards. They immediately chased them away. They chased them out of the Mu family’s main residence within a hundred meters, cutting off their last escape route.

  Of course, Zhao Youlin never knew about all this. She and Joy were the Mu family’s most protected people, especially her. She possessed the future treasure of the Mu family in her belly, so her value was naturally incomparable to others.

  Rather than listen to a group of people crying for their parents, it would be better to let their young mistress listen to a few more jokes to ease her mood. It would be good for the child and the adults. All the servants in the Mu family’s residence had the same thoughts.

  Therefore, over the following days, the entire Mu family’s main residence had set up another level of perimeter defenses, not letting even a fly into the house to disturb Zhao Youlin and the others.

  Of course, Zhao Youlin and the others remained all the less aware of it all.

  Mu Tingfeng brought Zhao Youlin because he wanted to have fun and relax on their honeymoon. A few more people had tagged along, but this did not affect Mu Tingfeng’s mood of wanting to take Zhao Youlin out to have fun.

  On the second day, Mu Tingfeng began to bring Zhao Youlin and Joy to the beautiful scenic spots, one by one. They were not in a hurry since it was only the middle of November. They were going to stay here for more than a month. By the end of December, when it was almost Christmas. Su Ruixin and Mu Xiaoyang would come over to reunite with their family. After that, they would stay for a few more days before they planned to go back, so in terms of time, they had plenty of time.

  As for the work in the country…… Mu Tingfeng said that his “capable” secretary would handle it well. If not, Xia Zhetao would not be able to hold on any longer. His father was still in the country! His secretary would not be so stupid as to ruin the company without knowing how to ask his father for help, right?

  Regarding this, the Mighty Secretary Xia, who was forced to take the blame, said, “President, I’m indeed not that stupid. But if I really work like this for two months, when you come back…… I’m afraid you’ll only be greeting my corpse! Also, I’m working so hard. If you don’t give me a raise when you come back, it’ll be easy for the company to lose me. I’m serious!”


  Mighty Secretary Xia’s resentment was not powerful enough to reach Mu Tingfeng’s side. President Mu took his wife and children to play and eat every day, leading a carefree life.

  Of course, as the other main character of this honeymoon trip, Zhao Youlin’s life during this period was similar to Mu Tingfeng’s, but because of her current situation, Mu Tingfeng did not dare to take her to too many places at once, so going out to play was only a part of her life. Most of the time, she would lie at home and bask in the sun, or go fishing with the former master.

  That’s right, fishing. The courtyard of the Mu family’s main residence was much bigger than the Mu family’s villa in Shalnork. This was not only reflected in the vast green fields, but also in the large artificial lake in the middle of the courtyard.

  Because the weather was colder and it had just snowed a few times, the artificial lake was covered with a thick layer of ice.

  The former master would bring Joy and Zhao Youlin to the artificial lake to fish after lunch every afternoon.
