Chapter 403: Let’s See Who is going to get into Trouble (1)

Zhao Youlin had watched each and every movement of Zhao Shunchang. At that moment, he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. She immediately knew that perhaps, the reason he had come and looked for her today would not be as simple as just to interact with her to build up their relations.h.i.+p.

Therefore, Zhao Youlin was not in a hurry. She did not take the initiative to break the silent atmosphere between them. Since Zhao Shunchang had humbled himself and had come to look for her, she speculated that the topic he was about to bring up for a discussion would most likely be related to Zhao Yifei.

Since the person in front of him and Zhao Yifei were not anxious, why did she need to be so anxious?

Reality showed that Zhao Youlin’s speculation was true.

After Zhao Shunchang hesitated for some time, he finally started with some difficulty, “Youlin, I came back because I have something to discuss with you.”

Zhao Youlin raised one of her eyebrows. She acted like she had been caught by surprise before she asked in a low voice, “Uncle, what did you want to discuss with me?”

Again, Zhao Shunchang looked embarra.s.sed. His hesitating expression had nakedly showed how difficult it was to talk to Zhao Youlin about what he wanted to discuss.

He had not been saying a word even after a long time. Zhao Youlin could no longer hold herself back. She took the initiative and asked, “Uncle, no matter what it is, we are still a family. You could talk about anything straight to me. You don’t have to feel awkward.”

It would have been better had Zhao Youlin not mentioned this. The moment she did, Zhao Shunchang grew increasingly embarra.s.sed. However, as he thought of his wife who was waiting for his news at home, he gritted his teeth and faltered, “Youlin, today, I came here because I want to talk to you about… Yifei…”

“About my younger cousin?” Zhao Youlin’s eyebrows twitched. She cast a profound glance at Zhao Shunchang before she asked with concern, “Speaking of which, Uncle, since you and Aunt left my place, I heard that you have taken my younger cousin overseas for treatment. How is he now? About his condition, has it been cured?”

Zhao Shunchang had never expected Zhao Youlin would take the initiative to ask about Zhao Yifei’s illness and his current condition. Zhao Shunchang’s expression grew increasingly embarra.s.sed. He smiled dryly as he said, “Yifei is recovering and his progress is quite good.”

“Oh, I am glad to hear that.” Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh of relief. She acted remorsefully and said, “I have been very worried when I heard that you and Aunt are taking my younger cousin overseas to cure his illness. Now that I heard your words today, I could finally heave a sigh of relief. To say the least, I am partly to be blamed for. At that time, I gave him a violent blow. I never thought that even though he is tall and looks strong, he actually is that… Sigh…”

Zhao Youlin articulated her words skillfully. On the surface, she looked like she was expressing her concern for Zhao Yifei and felt remorseful. In fact, she was mocking Zhao Yifei for being so weak that even though he was tall, strong and st.u.r.dy, he was inferior to a frail woman. He was only an empty can adorned with gold and silver.

Women with malicious intent such as Li Hongyu, who were used to back-stabbing others, might be able to identify the hint of sarcasm from Zhao Youlin’s words. However, when her words reached a careless man like Zhao Shunchang, he thought that she had merely expressed her concern. He simply could not identify any hints of mockery from Zhao Youlin’s words.

As such, Zhao Shunchang grew increasingly ashamed and embarra.s.sed. Regarding the previous incident, no matter what, the fault was still at Zhao Yifei.

However, as a victim, Zhao Youlin had not only forgiven him, instead, she had also responded to them with kindness. As Zhao Yifei’s father, Zhao Shunchang could not help but have his face turned red.

“Youlin, you mustn’t say that. What happened back then was all because Yifei was young and innocent. He has offended you, yet you still show your concern for him. I… I really don’t know what else to say.

A hint of a smile flashed across Zhao Youlin’s eyes. She smiled in a friendly manner and said, “Uncle, don’t mention it. I am already very happy so long as you don’t blame me. By the way, didn’t you just say you want to discuss something related to Yifei with me?”

Only then did Zhao Shunchang remember the main purpose of his visit today. He faked a cough and said in a low voice, “Actually… Actually, it’s about Yifei’s vacant position in this company before he was admitted to the hospital and later, overseas. The position is vacant. Zhao Yifei’s situation has improved a lot compared to last time. In the new future, he is about to return to his home country with his mother. Youlin, do you think you could allow Yifei to continue… to hold that position in the company…?”

In fact, Sun Fengzhi was the one who had asked Zhao Shunchang to come to look for Zhao Youlin today.

Regarding Zhao Yifei’s illness, even the specialists overseas were at their wit’s end. After staying overseas for so many months, finally, Sun Fengzhi felt a bit discouraged.

She gradually placed less attention on her son and had instead recalled the matters related to Zhao Enterprise.

After the family of three had stayed so long overseas, Sun Fengzhi thought that the entire Zhao Enterprise must have fallen under Zhao Youlin’s absolute control.

If this continued, the plan of using Zhao Yifei to gain a share from Zhao Enterprise would be increasingly difficult to materialize.

After Sun Fengzhi pondered over this issue, she decided to take Zhao Yifei to return to their home country. She would continue to look for ways to cure Zhao Yifei while having Zhao Yifei stand firm in Zhao Enterprise. She did not want to let Zhao Youlin dominate the entire Zhao Enterprise.

However, Sun Fengzhi was not an idiot. Zhao Yifei and her had a history of bad blood with Zhao Youlin previously. If they came back abruptly, Zhao Youlin might seize the opportunity to cause trouble for Zhao Yifei.

Before they went overseas, Sun Fengzhi had heard that Zhao Youlin had demanded the absolute power to fire people from the former master. She could simply fire anyone who was displeasing in her sight, anytime and anywhere.

Zhao Youlin’s younger stepsister had been kicked out of Zhao Enterprise because of the exercise of her absolute power. As such, Sun Fengzhi was worried that Zhao Youlin might use the same trick to handle Zhao Yifei once Zhao Yifei returned to Zhao Enterprise.

Sun Fengzhi had thought it over before she decided to egg Zhao Shunchang, had him return to his home country and get some news first.

Besides, Zhao Shunchang was Zhao Youlin’s uncle. If he personally came to plea to Zhao Youlin, she would at least show some respect for him.

Unfortunately, Sun Fengzhi had overestimated Zhao Shunchang’s position in Zhao Youlin’s heart.

Zhao Shunchang was only an uncle to Zhao Youlin. Zhao Youlin had even disowned her own father, much less her uncle, Zhao Shunchang.

If she got angry, she could also drive Zhao Shunchang away from Zhao Enterprise, much less Zhao Yifei.

After Zhao Shunchang finished speaking, he had been observing Zhao Youlin’s response closely. His heart clenched when she did not reply to him after some time.

“I know this matter is beyond your capacity. Nevermind, Youlin, if you actually mind about this, I’ll go back and talk to Yifei so that he…”

“Sure.” Before Zhao Shunchang finished speaking, Zhao Youlin had already interrupted him with a faint smile. “Sure, my younger cousin could return Zhao Enterprise.”
