Zhao Shuncheng's expression continued to change as Zhao Youlin watched him nonchalantly. He smiled faintly and added fuel to the fire by saying, “Master. Zhao, as you mentioned, I owe half of my genes and my gratitude for having raised me including those indelible memories, either good or bad for the last decade. Therefore, this time, I forgive Ms. Zhao is in this. If not for someone pulling me out at the right moment, I wouldn't have had the chance to stand in front of you in one piece.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuncheng's entire body shuddered. He fell speechless.
Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows indifferently, “Master. Zhao, you must understand that no one on Earth is so generous as to save an assassin intent on killing him. The reason why I decided to ignore this matter and just kick Ms. Zhao exiting the Zhao Enterprise is due to the remnants of my respect for you.”
Zhao Shuncheng did not understand. Zhao Youlin clearly told him that she was in his blood, and he owed half of his genes. However, why would he respect her and save Zhao Youxi?
Zhao Youlin no longer owed her anything after using half of her life in exchange for Zhao Youxi's life. From now on, there was no way he could use the same excuse to ask her to do something for him.
Seeing Zhao Shuncheng's dark expression, he smiled mockingly and ended their conversation, "Master. Zhao, you can be sure that I will spare Ms. Zhao. It looks like Ms. Zhao doesn't really appreciate my kindness to her. He even vilified me in front of you when I wasn't around. That's not very good for him. Zhao is also considered to be part of the Zhao family, the entire family will be embarrassed if I file a report against him. However, since he was not kind to me first, I had to repay him the same. It would be troublesome if I handed the tape over to the police, but I think it works if I hand it over to Grandpa ... "
When Zhao Shuncheng heard Zhao Youlin's words, his expression.
“J-Do not! Nay! Youlin, don't act recklessly. If you hand the tape over to Dad, Youxi is done! And I'll get it from Dad too!” Zhao Shuncheng was very surprised, and he hurriedly left to prevent it.
Seeing Zhao Shuncheng's terrified gaze, a trace of ridicule flashed in Zhao Youlin's eyes. Indeed, this man was much more selfish than he had imagined.
When he talked about Zhao Youxi's mistakes, Zhao Shuncheng never looked so frightened, except for a dark expression. In other words, he would only react so frantically if his own interests were affected.
Zhao Youlin threw a face, unwilling to glance again at Zhao Shuncheng's despicable gaze. However, he pretended to look like he was in a difficult position and said hesitantly, “But, if I don't tell Grandpa about the matter now, it's not right now, what would happen if Zhao told Grandpa what he said? Isn't this going to make me a scapegoat?!”
Zhao Shuncheng's face darkened. He said seriously, “Youlin, you don't have to worry about this. I will definitely teach him a lesson and make sure he won't spread lies just like that.”
Zhao Youlin stroked her chin and said in a low voice, “Master. Zhao, since you have given your words, I will trust you this time. Hope you can discipline Ms. Zhao was right and don't let him do anything stupid anymore. I'm being lenient to him all because of you, Mr. Zhao. If other people were in my position, they wouldn't be so generous and forgiving. Moreover, please hold Zhao to not spread those words to others regardless of how eloquent he is. Verbal defense will never be as convincing as real evidence.”
There was a fundamental threat under Zhao Youlin's words. He adopted the carrot and stick approach in his speech and precisely because of this way of speaking, he was unable to find himself refuting it.
Zhao Shuncheng exchanged words with Zhao Youlin politely before he left in disappointment.
Seeing that the door of his office was finally closed once again, the corner of Zhao Youlin's lips unwittingly curved upwards.
At that time, the office door was opened again. A familiar silhouette stuck out its head and glanced at Zhao Youlin worriedly.
"General Manager, are you okay?" Li was worried about Zhao Youlin. Right after Zhao Shuncheng left, he immediately entered.
As Zhao Youlin spoke, she suggestively looked towards the direction where Zhao Shuncheng was going. A hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes.
"What?!" Zhao Youlin said the last words very softly. Li was a bit away from her so she could not hear him clearly.
"No." Zhao Youlin withdrew her gaze. He looked up and asked, "What about the thing I asked you to ask?"
Li sighed in relief when Zhao Youlin really looked fine. He replied, “Human resources has basically implemented the steps and will open the job application to the public in two days. They can immediately recruit new applicants.”
Zhao Youlin nodded in satisfaction. He took a pen from the table and signed the documents. Then, he handed the document to Li and said, “OK, pay attention. Ask them to hurry. Otherwise, you may be having trouble lately.”
"Well?!" Li received the document from Zhao Youlin and looked at her in confusion. However, he did not ask further. He turned and left.
After Zhao Shuncheng left Zhao Youlin's office, he did not return to his office. Instead, he returned to his home.
Today, Li Hongyu was unemployed at home and did not come out. When he saw Zhao Shuncheng back at this hour, he was a little surprised.
Soon, he regained consciousness and greeted her with a smile, “Schencheng, how is everything in the company today? Why did you come home early?”
What surprised Li Hongyu the most was that Zhao Shuncheng did not pull her into his arms as he normally would, nor did he hold her hand as he entered through the door. Instead, he looked at her sharply.
Li Hongyu was shocked by his sudden change. The smile on his face also stiffened.
Zhao Shuncheng was boiling in anger. His face naturally darkened when he was greeted by the sight of the main culprit which caused him to be speechless in front of Zhao Youlin.
“Where is Youxi? Where is the boy ?!”
Li Hongyu felt Zhao Shuncheng's unfriendly tone. His heart clenched, and he said hesitantly, “Youxi. He had just finished lunch and went upstairs. Why are you looking for him? Has something happened?”
Before Zhao Shuncheng replied, a silhouette walked down from the stairs. She sleepily covered her mouth as she greeted him, "Eh, Dad, you're back!" Youxi is what the two talked about.
Zhao Shuncheng's expression immediately turned black when he saw Youxi. Before Li Hongyu reacted to the situation, he stepped forward to Zhao Youxi and slapped her.
