Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 173: I Won’t Let You Die (2)

Xia Zhetao stared at Zhao Youxi’s retreating back, and the disgust and displeasure in his eyes grew stronger.

She did not care about her sister’s survival, and while her sister might die while trapped in the elevator, she only cared about seducing men. Really, looking at her any longer made him feel nauseated.

They clearly came from the same father, so why were these two sisters so different?!

However, very soon, Xia Zhetao remembered Zhao Youlin’s eccentric parents, and he instantly understood why she behaved that way. Fine, it was not that this woman was too stupid for her sake, but that the former Mrs. President was unaffected by the environment around her as she grew up.

In truth, Xia Zhetao was not the only one who taught about this. Quite a number of employees had been drawn to the place due to the accident, and when they saw Zhao Youxi leave, all of them scowled.

Even though to these people, Zhao Youlin and Zhao Youxi were cousins and not blood-related sisters, Zhao Youxi’s nonchalant behavior when her family was about to die still caused many of them to feel disappointed. After all, they lived in a world where passersbys would cast a few glances at strangers when they were involved in car accidents, and they would show even more concern when this person was connected to them by blood.

But Zhao Youxi did not. Right from the start, her gaze was trained on Mu Tingfeng, and she never spared a single glance at Zhao Youlin.

If this person treated her own family this way, then she would be even more aloof to the friends who were acquainted with her.

At that moment, Zhao Youxi still did not know that because of this, her image in the company had dropped by 100%, so much so that when she was in trouble later on, no one was willing to stand up and speak for her.

Of course, this was to happen in the future.

Zhao Youxi might be gone, but Zhao Youlin was still in the elevator.

After getting through the tremors once Mu Tingfeng left, Zhao Youlin sucked in a deep breath and cautiously stabilized her body. She did her best to reach upward, only to find out that her hand was a distance away from the rescuer’s hand.

The people outside the elevator were all anxious, but the elevator was really unstable right now, and something might happen at any second.

They just could not grab Zhao Youlin’s hand even after trying a few times. The rescuers by the opening had no other choice. They pulled their hands back and wanted to get a rope over.

However, sometimes, a change would happen in an instant. The crowd heard a snap, and the last cable… broke right in front of the people’s eyes.

“Youlin!” Duan Yarong and the others’ expressions changed. They shouted in the direction of the elevator, and the girls by the opening could not help but scream.

Zhao Youlin felt her body become light, and the sudden weightlessness made her heart tremble. But this feeling did not last long, because soon, Zhao Youlin felt a powerful but domineering force grab her extended hand, and her body instantly crashed into the sturdy wall next to the elevator.

“Urgh…” Zhao Youlin grunted.

At the same time, the rapidly falling elevator fell to the bottom in just a few seconds, and it let out a terrifying bang while bringing with it huge tremors that made it seem like a mountain was shaking.

It was not hard for them to imagine just how tragic a person would end up if they fell down with the elevator.

A number of people by the opening instantly had their faces drained of blood. Duan Yarong swayed and nearly fell on the floor, but Zhao Shunrong saw it and quickly held her in his arms. His complexion was not that much better, but he knew that when everyone had lost their composure, he could not panic with them.

Zhao Youlin shut her eyes and sensed the terrifying tremors down below. After the tremors were gone, she slowly opened her eyes. As if she sensed that her wrist was in someone’s grip, she looked up to see who pulled her, and what she saw was Mu Tingfeng’s fearful and alarmed eyes.

Zhao Youlin’s pupils shrank, and with a dumbfounded look, she stared at the man who held her wrist in a tight grip.

Most of Mu Tingfeng’s body had stretched out of that tiny opening, and he was swaying.

A little more, and he would also be dragged down with her, and both of them would fall from forty-five floors above the ground.

“Y-You’re mad! Do you want to die?!” Zhao Youlin could not believe her eyes as she stared at the man who had risked his life for her, and she could not describe the shock in her heart.

‘What is this man doing? Doesn’t he know how dangerous it is to do this? If anything happened, he would have lost his life!’

When Mu Tingfeng heard Zhao Youlin shouting at him as if she lost her composure, he was not angry. Instead, his eyes curled up a little, and he said firmly and seriously, “I told you. I won’t let you die, and even if you do, I’ll die with you.”

Mu Tingfeng said only a few words, but each word struck Zhao Youlin’s heart, causing her to widen her eyes in shock, and she did not know what to do.

Mu Tingfeng’s expression, his gaze, and all that he was doing now were telling her that this man had not been joking when he said those things just now.

Mu Tingfeng had one hand tightly around Zhao Youlin’s wrist, and the other hand grabbed the edge of the floor. The weight of two adults were all gathered on those two hands, and soon, Zhao Youlin saw the veins on the back of Mu Tingfeng’s hand pop up.

The sudden change had been too shocking, so much so that most of the people were still stunned.

They finally snapped out of their dazes, but panicked again when they saw their situation. They did not have time to think any further. The group quickly went forward to drag both of them up.

The moment Zhao Youlin sensed the sturdiness of the floor, someone hugged her tightly. “Youlin, you scared me. You really scared me.”

Zhao Youlin’s hands froze in the air for a moment before she patted Duan Yarong’s back, and she comforted her softly, “Mom, I’m fine. Don’t cry.”

After hugging Zhao Youlin for a while, Duan Yarong finally recovered from the fear of losing Zhao Youlin. After letting her go, she sized her up. Even after she was certain that she was not injured, she still felt ill at ease and asked, “Do you feel any discomfort? Do you want to get checked at the hospital? How could this happen? How?!”

“Mom, I’m really fine. I’m not injured either. When I was inside…” Once she said this, Zhao Youlin instinctively looked in Mu Tingfeng’s direction, only to find that Mu Tingfeng was also looking at her.

Their gazes met, and Zhao Youlin felt her heart skip. An emotion that she never had before started sprouting in her heart, and she felt at a loss.

Mu Tingfeng’s suit had been ruffled up by his actions just now, but when Zhao Youlin saw it, she felt that his current look was much better than when he looked put together.

This realization caused Zhao Youlin to want to cover her face. ‘Look much better, my foot. How can I have those thoughts? My mind is playing tricks with me! Definitely!’

Zhao Youlin was in a hurry to deny her feelings when the people by the side suddenly let out a shocked scream and once again destroyed the calmness she was only somewhat able to maintain.

“President, your hand is bleeding!”
