President, Please Be Careful
107

He did not mind seeing that the man had taken the incident into his heart. Instead, he realized that this man was different from the ambitious yet cowardly Zhao Shuncheng, let alone thinking that he would stab people from behind. He would at most treat her coldly and ignore her.

Duan Yarong pulled Zhao Shunrong to sit down with them. He intended to encourage Zhao Youlin and Zhao Shuncheng to interact with each other. Unfortunately, Zhao Shuncheng's cold demeanor made the atmosphere awkward.

Duan Yarong was a little embarrassed. So, he targeted Joy and took her from Zhao Youlin's embrace. He said happily, “Rong, he's Joy, Youlin's son. Isn't she very sweet? She calls me grandma.”

Joy was a little afraid of that fierce-looking man. He subconsciously immersed himself into Duan Yarong's embrace.

Zhao Shunrong stopped when he heard the word "Grandmother." He glanced at Zhao Youlin once again.

When Zhao Youlin met her gaze, she immediately knew what she was thinking in her heart. His oldest uncle must have thought he meant badly and wanted to use it.

Zhao Youlin smiled and did not say anything. He just looked at her calmly.

Zhao Shunrong and Zhao Youlin stared at each other for a few seconds before she replied, feeling complicated, "Everything is fine as long as you like it."

Duan Yarong was overjoyed and was about to say further. Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside.

They looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see Uncle Zhao who had led Zhao Youlin towards them back again with a few servants behind him.

“Mrs Zhao, Mr Zhao, Mr Zhao asked me to send something to the eldest miss and young master of the third generation.”

"Something?" They locked gazes at each other before they raised their heads and looked at him in unison.

Uncle Zhao moved to a corner so they could see the items that were in the hands of the servants.

When they saw those things, everyone froze, "This is ..."

Although the wealth of the Zhao family was lower than that of the Nie and Ye families and their strength was not as great as that of the Ling family and Song family, they won against the others in terms of old existence and a stable foundation.

This was especially since the former ruler of the Zhao family slowly retired from his peak period and gradually allowed the eldest son of the Zhao family, Zhao Shunrong to take over in recent years. The Zhao Family had grown very rapidly and was almost on par with the four most powerful families.

It is worth mentioning that the four most powerful families, who hold the Zelford financial lifeline, will attend the seventieth great birthday of the Zhao family.

Therefore, the upper class people who originally wanted to attend the banquet but were left without an invitation card had used various channels. After learning of the presence of the four most powerful families, they went the extra mile just to sneak into the banquet.

The only explanation was that these people wanted to get acquainted with the people from the four most powerful families so that they could get their work done more easily in the future. Some even hoped that Lady Luck would smile at their daughter so that they could attract the attention of one of the young men from the extended family. With that, their daughter would soar like an eagle and become the mistress of a rich family.

The presence of the Mu family in Shalnork and even in Zelford is unique. Although the Mu family did not have a strong background like the four most powerful families, it did, many sages in high society believed that the status of the Mu family in Zelford was more complicated than that of the four most powerful families.

Not only did the Mu family have complicated relationships with the four most powerful families, but the family had even expanded their strength overseas. Therefore, most people knew that offending a member of the Mu family in this city or country would have greater consequences compared to the four most powerful families.

Therefore, when the oldest woman of the Zhao family married Mu Tingfeng, she looked glamorous on the surface and was barely considered a suitable match for the Mu family. In fact, many people have described the difference between their status as heaven and earth. Zhao Youlin was seen as the one riding the coattail of the Mu family. He was the one who stuck to Mu Tingfeng.

As the day grew darker, the Zhao family villa lit up and grew more and more crowded.

The banquet was filled with images of exchange of toasts, fun in the materialistic world, evil intentions between conversations, as well as hidden gratitude and revenge from each other.

They hide their true form behind their masks. They are all wolves in sheep's clothing. Their words were like poison coated with honey. Everything's shallow.

Mu Tingfeng sat in the passenger seat. He frowned when he saw such a crowded banquet.

He did not know why he even bothered to come here. Apparently, he hates noisy parties filled with forgers.

Although the former ruler of the Zhao family occupied an important status among the citizens in Shalnork, he could just fire him.

However, a figure instinctively appeared in Mu Tingfeng's mind as he thought of this banquet. He instinctively came here and did not know why.

"President Mu, can we ..." Xia Zhetao noticed his superior had been sitting in the car for some time and did not seem to want to get out. So, he couldn't help but ask.

In fact, not only did Mu Tingfeng feel complicated, but Xia Zhetao also felt doubtful.

She had been with Mu Tingfeng for many years. This was the first time she had followed Mu Tingfeng to a banquet like this.

No one knew better than him how much hatred Mu Tingfeng had for this kind of banquet. However, today Mu Tingfeng had asked him to prepare a gift and drive a car here.

'Today is the birthday of the former master of the Zhao family. The former master of the Zhao family... Zhao family.. and the former Madam President!’.

Xia Zhetao had thought about it repeatedly. Finally, he thought he had found out the truth. 'President Mu, you still have feelings for the former Madam President!'

Xia Zhetao broke the silence and made Mu Tingfeng dazed. His hand moved slightly and said, "Mhm, let's get out of the car."

When Xia Zhetao got the permission, he hurriedly parked the car and got off of it. He opened the car door for Mu Tingfeng.

As Mu Tingfeng stepped into the main residence of the Zhao family, the guests who were watching him stopped talking and looked surprised.

Mu Tingfeng's face was an iconic logo known among the high society. Most people can identify him. Even if not, they will ask people around them when they see their unique features.

When the people who knew about her were told that she was Mu Tingfeng, their reactions were the same as the others.

Thus, a strange phenomenon occurred in the originally lively and noisy banquet with all the sounds of conversation muted in an instant. All eyes were on a man standing at the entrance.

Mu Tingfeng felt that all eyes were on her. Some of them showed signs of joy, happiness, greed and greed. He involuntarily frowned.

This was one of the reasons why he hated this banquet. Whenever he was around, all eyes were on him.

Their gazes gave off a hint of obscenity, and he found it hard to close his eyes to them. This was especially so for the gazes of the women. Although they did not dare to touch her, they could not hope any harder to offer their naked selves to her on the spot.

Apparently, the sharp gazes from the woman he saw at the pet store that day were much more soothing compared to how the women looked at him.

Mu Tingfeng's expression was slightly dark. He realized that he was instinctively thinking about the woman!
