Chapter 877: Everything Is In A Mess (1)

A short sentence summed it all up. Mr. Duan just now was the husband who had divorced Zhao Youlins adoptive mother and chased her out of the house after she was made out to be barren.

No wonder no wonder Zhao Youlins expression changed when Mr. Duan mentioned Zhao Youlins adoptive mother just now. No wonder Zhao Youlins first question after she got into the car was not about anything else but Mr. Duans family situation, so it was because of this

Youve already married and had children. Dont you think its too late to look for my mother now? Zhao Youlin recalled Mr. Duans appearance just now and not only did she not have any sympathy, she even scoffed at him.

If this man had not married another woman after divorcing her mother and had not given birth to a child with another woman, she might have lamented that fate was playing tricks on her.

However, since he had already married and given birth to his own child and family, he had gotten everything he wanted. Who was he trying to show his grief by coming to her mother at this time?

Not to mention that her mother was already dead. What was he trying to do by coming here? To reclaim her mother as his wife? Based on her understanding of her mother, this was absolutely impossible. Did he truly even understand her as a person?

In Zhao Youlins opinion, whether the sorrow that Mr. Duan revealed just now was sincere or otherwise, he had brought it on himself!

Mu Tingfeng obviously thought the same as Zhao Youlin, so he didnt say anything on Mr. Duans behalf. Instead, he took the initiative to change the topic to another question. Just now, you said that your adoptive mother had breast cancer and couldnt be cured is that true?

Zhao Youlin took a deep breath. She nodded and said, At that time, we could only guarantee three meals a day. Life was hard, to begin with, and we didnt have the money to treat her, but that wasnt all. When my mom was diagnosed with cancer, she was already in the terminal stage. The doctor said that there was no cure and every additional day she lived from there on would be a blessing. But even so, my mom would be in a lot of pain.

Zhao Youlin seemed to recall the scene at that time. Her expression changed slightly. Mu Chens mom and my mom were very good friends. After learning about this matter, she took the initiative to offer to lend my mom money to treat her, but my mom refused, no matter what. In the end, Mu Chens mom relented and accompanied her to the end of the journey.

Then the funeral

At that time, the family was poor, and my mom had already cut off contact with the family because of the incident back then. So when my mom pa.s.sed away, Mu Chens mom and I came up with a plan. We simply invited some people that my mom was familiar with and held a simple funeral for her. Then, we sent my mom to the funeral hall to be cremated. It was such a low-key event, the surrounding neighbors only realized that my family was missing a person after some time.

Zhao Youlin didnt cry. Her eyes werent even red, and her expression didnt change at all. She was calm and self-controlled.

However, Mu Tingfeng felt the torrent raging within her heart. It was so uncomfortable that he wanted to hold her in his arms.

In fact, he did just that. He reached out and held Zhao Youlin in his arms. Mu Tingfeng could feel the chill coming from Zhao Youlins body, but he could only increase the strength of his embrace. He coaxed her in a low voice, Its over. Its over.

I know. Zhao Youlin sighed and buried her face into Mu Tingfengs arms. If it werent for Mr. Duan, she wouldnt even want to remember this memory.

However, after meeting Mr. Duan and telling Mu Tingfeng about this, she suddenly felt much more relaxed.

It was over, everything was over! Good or bad. Zhao Youlin had a premonition that this past was really leaving her bit by bit.

On the trip to the orphanage, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng had been in high spirits, but in the end, they returned disappointed.

Zhao Youlin was not in a good mood for a few days, but soon, Zhao Youlin realized that this was not the most annoying thing for her. The thing that really gave her a headache was the man who appeared in front of her once again.

Ms. Zhao.

The mans face was as gentle and light as usual, but Zhao Youlin just kept feeling angry when she saw his face. The anger that had been acc.u.mulating for several days had also increased a lot in an instant. It was really in line with the old saying when a house leaks, it rains all the time!

Its quite a coincidence. Mr. Lu, I tend to attract danger around me. Arent you afraid of a repeat of the other day?

That day, Lu Xiangtian had gotten into Mu Tingfengs car with her. They were attacked. As a result, Lu Xiangtian had experienced the bonus thrilling experience of a car chase.

However, what was surprising was that after that incident, everything fell silent. Even the few criminals who had been caught seemed to have disappeared without a trace. She and Mu Tingfeng went to the police station to take a statement. After that, they actually never looked for them again.

Zhao Youlin was not a fool, so how could she not notice that there was something fishy going on? Everything had vanished into thin air. There were only two possibilities. One was that Lu Xiangtian had helped them, and he had dealt with those people very cleanly. The other possibility was that This incident really had something to do with Lu Sizheng. Therefore, Lu Xiangtian had sealed off all information and dealt with all traces. Except for them, no one else would remember this matter.

Honestly speaking, Zhao Youlin hoped that it was the first possibility, but she could not deny that the second possibility was far greater than the first!

How could Lu Xiangtian not hear the repulsion and sarcasm in Zhao Youlins words? The corners of his lips subconsciously curled into a bitter smile. If he could, he would not be willing to pester others like this. However, he was determined to get the necklace on Zhao Youlin, because it was very likely that it was the only thought left behind by his deceased wife in this world.

Ms. Zhao, youre exaggerating. What happened last time was just an accident. There are so many people around you. How could you be attacked by people every day?

That may not be the case. Zhao Youlin sneered. Im a straightforward person. Ive offended many people because of this. Its not unusual for someone to want to take my life.

Lu Xiangtian listened to Zhao Youlins words and met her gaze. A dark light flashed across his eyes.

Youre very smart, so you should know that there are some things you should say and some things you shouldnt say. You should also know that I came to find you today, not just to pretend to be polite and have some empty talk.
