President, Please Be Careful
103

Uncle Zhao somehow felt a bad omen. Normally, before something was brought to the former ruler of the Zhao family, it would be examined first. Even if he did not open it now, he would have to open it later.

After thinking about it, Uncle Zhao opened the box. When he saw what was inside the box, he was so scared that he almost threw the box.

A green turtle stuck out its head and crawled inside the silk-lined wooden box.

Before Uncle Zhao regained his senses from his shock, he heard the person beside him grin as he added, “This is a hundred year old turtle, I tried harder to get it for Grandpa. I wish he could live for a long time to a hundred years like this turtle!”

Uncle Zhao was silent.

“Tortoise small!” Joy initially leaned against the car window, looking at the scene. When he heard their conversation, he turned his head and exclaimed happily as he looked at the little turtle inside the box.

“Mhm, this is a birthday gift for Grandpa.” Zhao Youlin hugged Joy, pushed her outstretched hand back and said solemnly.

Uncle Zhao thought to himself, 'The oldest woman, are you sure you want to be so open to the third generation young master about this?'

“Great-grandfather's birthday gift? Why did you give the little turtle as a birthday gift for her?” Joy looked at the tortoise in the box with regret. 'Hiks... It's a pity to give a little turtle.'

Zhao Youlin glanced at Uncle Zhao who looked awkward. He smiled with malicious intent. “Don't underestimate the little turtle. It had outlived the total age of your great-grandfather and Uncle Zhao. Therefore, I gave it to your great-grandfather. I wish he could live a long time like that little turtle.”

Joy seemed to understand his words and nodded. His expression was funny as he looked amazed.

Meanwhile, Uncle Zhao did not know whether he should laugh or cry when he heard them. The oldest woman not only indirectly encouraged her former master in her ridicule, but she was also one of them. It seemed like the former master had provoked him a lot during their conversation that day.

Zhao Youlin teased Joy and chatted with her for a while. Finally, Joy seemed to realize something and asked, “Mama, where are we going?”

“We're going to your great-grandfather's birthday party. Didn't I just tell you? We give the little turtle as a birthday gift for her.”

Uncle Zhao wanted to hide the little turtle without anyone noticing. When she heard Zhao Youlin's words, she immediately felt like yelling, 'Oldest Miss, can we forget about it? Don't be tipped off again.”

He could already imagine the old master's expression as he looked at the turtle.

“Oh, it's a birthday party! Will there be good food?” Joy puffed her cheeks and seemed to think.

Zhao Youlin laughed out loud. She reached out and stroked her son's soft hair. He smiled faintly as he said, “You little eater, of course there will be plenty of good food at the banquet. But, it will be crowded too. So, you have to be a good boy, Joy. Don't fill your face, otherwise people will laugh at you, okay?”

Joy was deep in thought for a moment. Then, he nodded his head obediently.

The mother and son chatted along the way. Soon, the car arrived at the main residence of the Zhao family.

As soon as Zhao Youulin held Joy in his arms and got out of the car, he was greeted by the sight of a grand, grand European-style mansion, like a smaller version of a palace.

Zhao Youlin originally thought the villa of the Mu family home was already one of the most spacious and luxurious residences. Little did he think that the villa was nothing compared to the Zhao family home. It is located in a high class area. No wonder it serves as the main residence.

His residence was surrounded by lush greenery. Zhao Youlin roughly calculated that the car might have been driving for twenty minutes from the main entrance.

When Zhao Youlin saw the mansion, she must have hated the rich man again.

“The oldest lady and Young Master of the third generation, please pass here.”

"This way?" Zhao Youlin looked in the direction that Uncle Zhao pointed. Cold gazing. 'What does the old man mean? Does that mean Joy and I don't deserve to go through the main entrance?’

Uncle Zhao was startled by Zhao Youlin's sudden outburst of hostility. He then realized that he might have misunderstood and hurriedly said, “Master. Zhao has instructed me to take you to the hostess before the banquet begins.

'Miss's home? Isn't she his oldest aunt?’

The woman from the Zhao family was referring to the wife of Zhao's eldest uncle Youlin. She was also Zhao Youlin's eldest aunt.

As far as she could remember, ever since Zhao Youlin's mother died a long time ago, the oldest aunt was the only woman who treated her so well.

There was no reason other than the fact that Zhao Youlin's mother was very close to the eldest aunt. They were like siblings who talked about everything even before the eldest aunt even married into the family by accident. Their relationship was so close that it surpassed friendship.

The eldest aunt had been devastated when Zhao Youlin's mother died of illness. Therefore, he was very affectionate towards Zhao Youlin who had lost her mother at a very young age.

The oldest uncle and the oldest aunt have been married for over twenty years. They have not conceived a child even to this day. Therefore, the eldest aunt conveyed all her hopes and love for a child to Zhao Youlin and treated her as if she belonged to him.

Unfortunately, there was more or less a gap between the relationship of an aunt and her nephew. The eldest aunt intended to treat Zhao Youlin as her own child but with the presence of Zhao Shuncheng and Li Hongyu, everything was beyond her means.

Li Hongyu was the one who sometimes hindered their relationship and made a split between them.

The eldest aunt and third aunt were potential competitors who had a strong chance of inheriting the Zhao family fortune, especially the eldest aunt who held firm power.

If Zhao Youlin was supported by her eldest aunt, Li Hongyu's children would find it difficult to try to occupy a higher position in the company in the future.

Thus, both sides were in a standoff situation until the year when Zhao Youlin was sixteen years old.

Apart from the former master of the Zhao family, the eldest aunt was the next person who did not appreciate Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng's marriage.

At that moment, the eldest aunt had solemnly tried to guide Zhao Youlin for a long time. He hoped that Zhao Youlin could give up on Mu Tingfeng because there were many good men in high society. There was no need for him to be so stubborn and only fall in love with one man who did not love him.

However, Zhao Youlin was like a bewitched woman back then. She actually listened to Li Hongyu as Li Hongyu instigated her for the sake of possessing Mu Tingfeng. As a result, he hated the elder who loved him the most.

Zhao Youlin even remained silent as Li Hongyu ridiculed the eldest aunt for being so nosy and meddling in the affairs of others. Therefore, her eldest aunt's heart was deeply hurt, especially when Zhao Youlin was the person she cared about the most.

Therefore, the eldest aunt had never seen Zhao Youlin since she married into the Mu family. Even so, he occasionally assigned someone to give some gifts to Zhao Youlin. Apparently, he was still very worried about Zhao Youlin.

As Uncle Zhao mentioned his eldest aunt, Zhao Youlin instantly fell silent. He thought for a moment before giving up on her. Then, he held Joy's hand and walked in the direction that Uncle Zhao pointed them.

“Bu...” They did not enter through the main entrance as they had expected. The child who has grown sensitive to such social cues realizes something is wrong. He was so nervous that he pulled the tip of Zhao Youlin's shirt.
