President, Please Be Careful
108

When Xia Zhetao saw the expression of his superior looking increasingly dark, his heart skipped a beat and almost exploded.

'I hope the president won't lose it in this place, right? This was the former master of the Zhao family's birthday party. If the president loses patience, will this cause the former Madam President to be unhappy as well?'

If the former Madam President is not happy, then the president will definitely be angry. Back then, when the president exploded with anger, I was the one who would suffer!'

'Hiks... God, please help me get out of here...'

Many people at the banquet were shocked by Mu Tingfeng's sudden appearance. This was because Mu Tingfeng topped the list as the most desirable wealthy bachelor among the women in the high society. However, all this time, he rarely appeared at social banquets like this. Therefore, it was difficult for noble and celebrity women to meet him.

Today, they actually met him here. Moreover, he had just divorced not too long ago and regained his bachelor status. Her appearance at the banquet not long after her divorce must have meant that.

If Lady Luck smiles at one of the women and one of them catches her attention, then the woman is better than clinging to one of the four most powerful families. It was a journey worth taking.

Although Mu Tingfeng's appearance shocked them, the women were so shocked by her intimidating aura that none of them dared to take the initiative to tease her.

Anyone could sense that Mu Tingfeng seemed to be in a bad mood at that moment. Therefore, it would not be wise to approach him now.

However, not everyone is a wise person in this world, and not all of them have self-awareness. For example…

"Young Master Mu," Someone finally broke the silence at the banquet.

Xia Zhetao looked at the person who had the guts to approach his superior back then. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. 'There is someone in this world who doesn't mind digging his own grave just to ride the tail of his coat.'

Mu Tingfeng turned around and looked at the person. He frowned. That person looked familiar, yet, he could not remember who he was.

When Zhao Shuncheng saw Mu Tingfeng silent after glancing at him, he thought Mu Tingfeng still held a grudge against him because of the incident related to Zhao Youlin.

He cursed Zhao Youlin at himself for being so stupid and dragged her down. At the same time, he smiled with flattery and said, “Young Master Mu, you may not remember me. I'm Youlin's father. Thank you for taking care of her when she was in your family. Sad to say, I have neglected and failed to discipline my daughter ever since she lost her mother when she was young, while I was busy with my work for many years. So, I pray that you can let the past pass and not humble yourself to meet its standards.”

Mu Tingfeng did not respond to him. Meanwhile, Xia Zhetao was already dumbfounded by Zhao Shuncheng's remark.

'J-So, he's the useless father of the former Madam President! Is he an immune man? How could he say this in public that he had been negligent and unable to discipline his daughter ever since she lost her mother at such a young age?! Did she tell the president that the former Madam President has no family education?!’

Xia Zhetao thought that the person in front of him was an idiot. She actually wanted to sacrifice her own daughter just to curry favor with her superior.

Even if she had been with the president for many years, she could not see through the president's sincere thoughts for the former Madam President. However, he noticed that the president did care about him.

When something happens, this man is forced to betray his family. Even if he doesn't have a fatherly love for her, the way he plays for the president is largely wrong. Instead, he might suffer the consequences.

Right after Zhao Shuncheng spoke, Mu Tingfeng instantly recalled who he was.

At that moment, Mu Tingfeng had yet to see his face. By the time he assigned someone to follow Zhao Youlin, he had only managed to identify Zhao Youlin's sister who had come to look for fault with him.

In other words, the last time Mu Tingfeng saw Zhao Shuncheng was four years ago. Back then, he hated Zhao Youlin so much. Naturally, he also hated the Zhao family. Hence, he barely had any impression of this man.

After she learned of the man's identity and recalled how she had mocked Zhao Youlin secretly under his words, Mu Tingfeng felt displeased.

Even if the woman was guilty, however, it was a matter between the two of them. When did this man have the right to interfere in their affairs?

He did not bother to respond to Zhao Shuncheng. Instead, he put on a straight face, remained silent, and turned his face away from her.

When Zhao Shuncheng saw Mu Tingfeng ignore him, the smile on his face stiffened.

He became angry when he realized the others were pointing at him.

As he wondered how he should get out of this awkward position, Li Hongyu, who was just as anxious, walked up to him and smiled as she said, “Schencheng, how can you say that? Today is the great birthday of the former master. What's the point of talking about those things. The most important thing is to serve your young master well.”

Li Hongyu's words instantly reminded Zhao Shuncheng. She brushed aside the awkward topic and reminded Mu Tingfeng of the grand birthday of her former master. In other words, she hinted to Mu Tingfeng that she should at least give her honor to her former master and stop putting him in a difficult position.

Unfortunately, Mu Tingfeng had never given her respect to anyone, especially the displeased people before her.

He's staying quiet. Not only that, he even glanced at Li Hongyu coldly. His gaze made Li Hongyu's backbone shiver.

Meanwhile, Zhao Youxi was unaware of her parents' awkward situation. His eyes were fixed on Mu Tingfeng as he walked in.

She noticed that all the women in the place were also eyeing Mu Tingfeng. He was very anxious and afraid that others would take action before he did. So, he immediately dragged Li Hongyu and Zhao Shuncheng to bring her before him.

She was very happy to be able to talk to Mu Tingfeng at close range. He smiled perfectly and said timidly, “Young Master Mu, I am Youxi. I've been watching you a lot. I admire you too. I wonder if tonight we have a chance to.”.

When Zhao Youxi said such words, Xia Zhetao felt like he had been struck by lightning once again. 'What is this woman talking about?! He has long admired the president?!’

As far as she is concerned, this woman seems to be the half-sister of the former Madam President, right?

Even though the president and the former Madam President have divorced, as a woman as well as her identity as the half-brother of the former Madam President, she actually has the guts to tempt the president! Was she not afraid of being called an embarrassing woman?!

'Are all family members numb? That's very scary. How can the former Madam President remain pure and unaffected by the people around her?!’

What happened next was exactly the same as what Xia Zhetao had in mind. Right after Zhao Youxi spoke, Mu Tingfeng was not the only one whose expression changed, even the expressions of the crowd watching the show also changed, including Li Hongyu and Zhao Shuncheng.
