Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 468: Choose One Of The Two (2)

The moment after Zhao Youlin said that, Zhao Youming finally could no longer maintain the calm on his face. His face darkened and he glared holes through the person in front of him.

Since Li Hongyu’s incident, Zhao Shuncheng rarely ever went home. Even if he did, he only stayed for a while. Occasionally, he would only stay to have a meal when he saw that Zhao Youming was at home.

He never stayed overnight anymore. It was his home, but in the end, he treated it like it was a hotel that he only stayed in temporarily. He came and left whenever he wanted to.

And that was not all. Recently, Zhao Youming even found out that the mistress that his father kept had been a few months pregnant.

This meant that in a few months, he would most likely have another half-sibling of the same father.

Zhao Youming, who was already anxious because of this matter, did not expect that before he could clean up this mess that might be a great threat to him in the future, he would be thrown completely off guard by the sudden appearance of Han Yichen, the eldest son of the Zhao family who had come out of nowhere.

Now that Zhao Youlin once again took the initiative to bring up this matter, it was no different from stabbing a knife into Zhao Youming’s heart again.

Rage surged in Zhao Youming’s heart, yet he had to suppress it, forcing himself to smile and maneuver with Zhao Youlin. “You are exaggerating, Cousin. My father is… barely making a living outside. Since you can forgive your cousin and let him go back to work at Zhao Enterprise, can you let my father too…”

“Barely making a living?” Zhao Youlin had cut Zhao Youming off before he could finish his sentence. Her eyebrows cocked slightly and with a faint smile on her face, she said, “I heard that Uncle Shuncheng has bought a house, diamond ring, flowers and is staying in a hotel. It doesn’t sound like he is barely making a living.”

Zhao Youming’s expression changed again. He knew all too well that Zhao Shuncheng had bought a house.

Soon after the woman went to the hospital and found out she was pregnant with Zhao Shuncheng’s child, he and the woman moved out of their rented apartment and bought a very gorgeous villa on the outskirts of town.

As he put it nicely, he did not want to let his child be born inside such a humble little apartment.

What Zhao Youcheng did had really crossed Zhao Youming’s line. He knew that he and Zhao Youlin were born in an apartment that was even shabbier than that, but why did he not do this for them back then?

Now that Zhao Shuncheng was being so good to that woman and that woman’s child, there was no guarantee that what happened back then would not happen again!

Zhao Youming was already worried enough. Now he heard Zhao Youlin talk about Zhao Shuncheng not only buying a house, but that he had also bought flowers and rings and even booked a room. He had been completely unaware of these things.

The fact that Zhao Shuncheng had prepared so many things, was it possible that he intended to propose to the mistress he has kept outside, to make her his legitimate wife? As for him, was he about to follow in Zhao Youxi’s footsteps and be abandoned?

Thinking about that, Zhao Youming could not hold back the dark thoughts that were raging in his mind. His expression that was still calm a second ago had become menacing.

Joy, who was already in Zhao Youlin’s embrace, was so frightened that he shrank back timidly and tried to hide himself in her arms. He did not dare to look up and look at Zhao Youming.

Zhao Youlin hastily patted Joy’s back soothingly. Her eyes stared intently at Zhao Youming, but a meaningful smile gradually surfaced on her face.

Zhao Youming took several deep breaths in succession. His hands that were hidden behind him tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again. It was only after a long time that he managed to calm himself down. He raised his head and gave Zhao Youlin a forced smile. “Is… Is that right? I can’t believe that you are so concerned about my dad. I was not even aware of some of the things that you just said.”

Knowing that Zhao Youming was testing her, Zhao Youlin did not care about that. She chuckled lightly and bluntly retorted, “Really? You should pay more attention to Uncle Shuncheng then, Chief Zhao. After all, you are the only one who still remains at Uncle Shuncheng’s side. Many people have known about this thing, yet you don’t. People may think you are being cruel if they hear about this. Besides, you are so unconcerned about Uncle Shuncheng’s life. In case anything happens to Uncle Shuncheng one day, you will be caught off guard, and you may end up suffering a great loss.”

Zhao Youming’s lips, which he had tried so hard to curl up, were stiff again. He moved his lips, trying to say something, though before he could, he heard Zhao Youlin add, “As for what you just said about letting Uncle Shuncheng come back to Zhao Enterprise…”

Zhao Youming was stunned. He raised his head to look at Zhao Youlin, waiting for her reply.

Zhao Youlin sighed and put on an expression that seemed like it was difficult for her to make that decision. Then, she said in distress, “Actually, it is possible to let Uncle Shuncheng come back to the company, but…”

“But?” Zhao Youming’s eyebrows were knitted. He would not believe that Zhao Youlin would let Zhao Shuncheng go back to Zhao Enterprise so easily, there had to be some kind of caveat, and just as he expected…

Zhao Youlin gave Zhao Youming a profound look. “But the reason why I promised to let your cousin return to the company was because there was no one to take his place when he left, but Uncle Shuncheng’s case is different. Not long after Uncle Shuncheng left, his position as chief was replaced by someone. Now that all the top positions in the company have been filled, given Uncle Shuncheng’s arrogance and pride, I don’t think he would be willing to take up any positions in the lower echelon. In this case, this is a little difficult to arrange.”

Upon saying that, Zhao Youlin deliberately paused for a moment and heaved a long sigh. She said, “If Uncle Shuncheng wants to come back, as his niece, there is no reason for me to stop him. But the problem is what position should I assign him to after he comes back? Chief Zhao, you are a clever man. Why don’t you give me a suggestion and solve this problem for me?”

Zhao Youming could barely maintain the smile on his face. Zhao Youlin’s words might seem reasonable, but she was actually implying that he would have to give up his current position in Zhao Enterprise if he wanted Zhao Shuncheng to come back to Zhao Enterprise.

Zhao Shuncheng or him, Zhao Enterprise would only keep one of them! If he wanted Zhao Shuncheng to come back, the only way was to sacrifice himself.

The cold light under Zhao Youming’s eyes flashed quickly. He made a decision almost immediately. He calmly said, “I did not think this through. I did not think of your difficulties. Whatever I said just now, just pretend that you heard none of it.”

Zhao Youlin had already expected that Zhao Youming would give her this answer, but she just never thought that Zhao Youming would answer her immediately without thinking much. He did not even hesitate for even a second.

It looked like the relationship between Zhao Youming and Zhao Shuncheng seemed to be more fragile than Zhao Youlin had thought, and Zhao Youming’s heart seemed to be more hardened than she had thought.

But on second thought, it made sense. He was a man who had forced his own mother to death without any hesitation. There was no way his heart was soft.
