President, Please Be Careful
272

Zhao Youxi's sharp scream shocked everyone inside the house. When they regained consciousness, they hurriedly lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything. They quietly retreated for fear of being the sacrificial goods of the father-son couple.

"What did you say?!" Zhao Shuncheng froze before he regained consciousness. His face was darker than a cloud of lightning, and he looked terrifying.

However, he still had the guts to refute her, "I said, you .. um ..."

Li Hongyu knew Zhao Youxi would be in trouble the moment she opened her mouth. He wanted to cover Zhao Youxi's mouth, but it was too far away. He managed to stop her just as Zhao Youxi was about to talk back to him.

“Youxi, silent.” He warned his daughter in a low voice, Zhao Youxi grinned and her face darkened.

Li Hongyu turned around and looked at Zhao Shuncheng. He quickly continued his usual gentle and weak appearance, the one he wore the most, and said in tears, "Schencheng, don't lower your standards to meet his standards. He's still a kid... She don't. He doesn't know anything..."

Unfortunately, ever since their last discussion ended unhappily, coupled with the joke this time around, Zhao Shuncheng had spent his last bit of tolerance on Li Hongyu and Zhao Youxi. "He's a kid, and he's innocent? She ended up like this because you had covered her up the whole time! You raised a trash with your overflowing maternal affection. You are the cause of who he is today!"

After hearing Zhao Shuncheng's merciless reprimand, Li Hongyu widened her eyes and looked at Zhao Shuncheng in disbelief with her teary eyes.

Meanwhile, Zhao Shuncheng still didn't seem to feel enough. He snorted and cursed, "You failed to educate my children. I wonder why I even looked at you at first!"

This is human nature. When they value someone, regardless of what that person does, everything is perfect. However, once they did not like that person, everything that person did was flawed. At that moment, that was how Zhao Shuncheng looked at Li Hongyu and Zhao Youxi.

In the past, she had thrown Zhao Youlin and her mother aside without hesitation after she was fed up with them and made Li Hongyu and Zhao Youxi her official wives and daughters. Likewise now, she was fed up with the mother and child's partner, so she threw it away.

Li Hongyu's expression stiffened, and he looked at Zhao Shuncheng in astonishment to the point that he forgot to shed a tear.

Zhao Shuncheng frowned. He found them obnoxious, and yelled at them, "From now on, we are no longer family! Out now! I don't want to see you anymore." Right after he spoke, he turned around and left.

He sounded extremely resolute, as if he had decided to sever ties with Zhao Youxi.

After hearing Zhao Shuncheng's words, only then did Zhao Youxi realize how serious the matter was. She's panicking. She sobbed and called Li Hongyu, "Mother ..."

Li Hongyu gasped from her daze. Looking at the silhouette of Zhao Shuncheng, who left them alone without hesitation, he became anxious. Without caring much less about others, he staggered and lunged at Zhao Shuncheng. He wrapped himself in his thigh.

Before Zhao Shuncheng kicked him away angrily, he howled miserably, "Schencheng, I know Youxi has let you down. But, he's still your own flesh and blood. I failed to educate her, and I do not deserve your mercy. However, even if you don't want to give your respect to me, you should at least consider things for Youming. You can't let him fight on his own!"

Indeed, right after Zhao Shuncheng heard the name of his son, he did not struggle much.

Li Hongyu knew this in his heart. He worked even harder by adding, "Shuncheng, Youming is his only son. He's very successful. He should not be the target of criticism for such things. He'll be back in a few days. How sad would it be if she found out that her sister had been kicked out of the house after she returned?"

Right after he spoke, he pulled his hand from Li Hongyu's grip and left without turning around.

Zhao Shuncheng retracted his words, and did not immediately expel Zhao Youxi, therefore, the mother-daughter heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhao Youxi crawled towards Li Hongyu with a prolonged fear, she looked even more confused.

After all, Zhao Youxi was his own flesh and blood, no matter how angry he was, he was reluctant to criticize her harshly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Don'tbeafraid. I'm right here. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Seeing her crying daughter, this was the first time Li Hongyu felt so tired.

She had spent years teaching him all the etiquette and manners expected of the women of the extended family. He did this because he did not want his daughter to follow in his footsteps. In the end, Zhao Youxi still let him down.

Happily... He still had a successful son, his son was not inferior to anyone.

Thinking of this, a glimmer of light was caught in Li Hongyu's deadly gaze.

Unbeknownst to the mother-daughter couple, a family dispute soon reaches the ears of someone who has been watching them closely.

While Zhao Youxi's gossip spread like wildfire in Shalnork, Zhao Youulin added activity to his list, that is, gathering various news about Zhao Youxi, to, as well as asking someone to watch over Zhao Shuncheng's reaction and his family and inform him in a timely manner.

Zhao Shuncheng's reaction right after he discovered the news was already in line with Zhao Youlin's expectations. He is selfish, arrogant, and arrogant. Frankly, he would not give in to his stubborn pride even if it cost him his life.

It would be a miracle if he ever tolerated Zhao Youxi after severely tainting her reputation.

Therefore, the moment Li Hongyu used their son to change Zhao Shuncheng's mind so that he did not drive Zhao Youxi out of their house, the brother called, the, Zhao Youlin did not have much of an impression tickling her interest.

"General Manager, this is today's newspaper." Zhao Youlin had finished her work and there was nothing to do at that moment. Just then, Li pushed open the door and entered while holding the various latest newspapers of the day in his hands.

Zhao Youlin's eyes twinkled. He smiled faintly and took over the newspaper from Li. He flipped through the newspapers and saw photos of the irresistible scandal, a stark contrast when compared to the recent photos of Zhao Youxi's streets as well as its contents.

"The illegitimate daughter of the head of the development department of Zhao Group is suspected of misusing public funds ..." A surprised expression flashed in Zhao Youlin's eyes. He grabbed the bottom of the newspaper and studied it closely. After he verified its validity. From the evidence provided by the magazine publisher, the corner of his lips slowly curved upwards.

He wondered if Zhao Shuncheng could cover Zhao Youxi, or rather, if he was still able to cover it!
