Chapter 884: You Seem To Be Very Free (2)

President! Xiao Lis face was flushed red as she shouted at Zhao Youlin in embarra.s.sed anger.

Zhao Youlin saw the situation and understood what was going on. Apparently, a certain predator who had been casting a long line to catch a big fish had recently started to slowly reel in the line. When she took in Xiao Lis shy look, it was highly likely that she had already been reeled in or was about to be reeled in.

Thinking of this, Zhao Youlin could not help but feel a little emotional. As expected, all good crops would eventually be taken down by swine. The moment a girl had grown enough, she would leave the roost.

Zhao Youlin silently sighed in her heart. Then, she said leisurely, Alright, I wont tease you anymore. Sort out these doc.u.ments first. They will be used during the meeting in the afternoon. Ill treat you to dinner tonight.

Eh, tonight? Xiao Lis exclamation made Zhao Youlin raise her eyebrows again. Is it inconvenient? Do you have a date tonight?

Xiao Li scratched her face in embarra.s.sment and nodded.

Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes. She didnt even need to try guessing who the fisherman was. Alright, lets do it another day.

Xiao Li heaved a sigh of relief and left happily with the pile of doc.u.ments in her arms.

The original plan to treat her to a meal did not work out, so Zhao Youlin could only resign herself to fate and go home for dinner. However, before she could wait for Mu Tingfeng, who would be coming to pick her up, Lu Sizheng showed up to arrest her. He had been waiting downstairs.

When she saw Lu Sizheng, the corners of Zhao Youlins mouth involuntarily twitched. It was as if she owed this family a blood debt. After the man got in her way, the mans son ended up hounding her every day. They would wait outside her company doors, inadvertently scaring several patrons away. How much free time did this family have?

After complaining to herself, Zhao Youlin finally remembered their past encounter, which had been less than savory. She had also planted several seeds of doubt in the mans heart.

Zhao Youlin had done so with certain goals in mind, but it did not diminish the unease in her heart, knowing that she had also invited more trouble to her life. But she did not expect the father-son pair to play tag-team and swap out to hound her relentlessly It was quite unpleasant.

Of course, other than that, Zhao Youlin also thought of the car chase that she and Mu Tingfeng had encountered that day. After that chase, the younger man still appeared in front of her as if nothing had happened. He was truly fearless Or had she suspected the wrong people from the beginning? Were those men truly not connected to Lu Sizheng?

Zhao Youlins mind was racing, but her expression didnt change. She watched as Lu Sizheng gradually approached she was the first to open her mouth and ask with a smile, Oh, isnt it you? Why, did you just happen to pa.s.s by the entrance of my company again? Did you just happen to meet me when I was getting off work?

Lu Sizheng ignored the sarcasm from Zhao Youlins mouth. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he said with a faint smile, Of course not. Im here today to look for you.

For me?

Thats right. I want to ask if my foster father came to look for you recently. Did you say something to him that you shouldnt have said? Lu Sizhengs eyes flashed with a sharp light when he said this.

He had not planned to meet her this soon. After their last unpleasant encounter, he had decided to leve her alone for a while and then come back again when the time was right. Moreover, the people in the Lu family were not well-behaved these days. He had not returned to the Lu family for several days to deal with some matters.

Unexpectedly, just last night, as soon as he returned home, he heard the report from the spy he had planted in the house. Lu Xiangtian had gone out to look for Zhao Youlin with his confidant, and he had acted a little strangely when he came back. Not only did he get someone to invite his sister for dinner, but he also had her stay in the main residence for the entire night.

The person who was reporting it to him sounded a little anxious. It was clear that he had misunderstood Lu Xiangtian and thought that he had called her back to stay over so that Lu Shu could inherit the family business. However, after listening to it in detail, Lu Sizheng thought of another possibility. This possibility lay with Zhao Youlin, and it also made Lu Sizheng realize that the time was ripe. That was how he showed up before her again.

Zhao Youlin was stunned when she heard Lu Sizhengs words. She had a feeling when she was in the temple once again. This person this person seemed to know something. She did not know how he knew it or how much he knew, but she had a hunch that this person definitely knew more than he was letting on.

So you came to me in person, to ask this? Zhao Youlin chuckled and tried her best to keep her tone calm and gave nothing away. Thats right. you did come to me before, but how am I to know what I should have and shouldnt have said? Did your father give you such a scare that you would come to me in such a hurry just to ask me such a boring thing?

Zhao Youlins words were like needles. From Lu Sizhengs words, she could vaguely guess that Lu Xiangtian had indeed taken action after he went back, but now she was more concerned about the outcome of the action, was Lu Shu

Lu Sizhengs eyes flickered, and he smiled. It seems that you are very curious about what my foster father did after he returned home.

Zhao Youlin fell silent and waited.

Lu Sizhengs lips curled, but he didnt intend to go along with Zhao Youlins wishes and tell her what she wanted to know. Instead, he went back to the topic that Zhao Youlin had left unconcluded with him from back then.

Speaking of which, last time, you ran away too soon and didnt seem to have time to answer my questions. It just so happens that we meet again today. You dont seem to want to talk about my dad, so why dont we continue where we left off at the temple?

When Lu Sizheng suddenly mentioned what happened last time, Zhao Youlins heart skipped a beat. She opened her mouth but didnt know how to divert his attention. A voice rang out behind her at the right time.

Young Master Lu, whats the matter?

Zhao Youlins eyes lit up. She looked behind Lu Sizheng and said with a smile, Youre here.

Mu Tingfeng walked quickly to Zhao Youlins side and held Zhao Youlins hand. Then, he turned to look at Lu Sizheng, his eyes slightly cold. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands recently.

Lu Sizheng took in Mu Tingfengs hostility toward him and smiled indifferently. Time doesnt seem to be a luxury for me.

Mu Tingfengs eyes suddenly when he heard this and he replied coldly, If thats the case, why do I see you spending so much time here? Are you actually working at this building?

Of course not. How could menial work take precedence over humans? Recently, Ive been pursuing one of those humans in this company. President Mu, you should know that no matter how busy you are, you have to find time to cultivate your relations.h.i.+p. Otherwise, if you accidentally lose your partner, its very easy for someone else to take advantage of you, right?
