President, Please Be Careful
308

Zhao Youming's words had completely shattered the last bit of hope in Li Hongyu's heart. He looked away and let out a skin of laughter.

At first, his laughter sounded depressed. However, then, his laughter grew louder, unless his strengthened laughter was filled with heartache and self-mockery, as if mocking himself for having planned and planned, as if, thinking that he had always been her favorite person all along.

Li Hongyu's tears unwittingly flowed down her cheeks as she laughed.

"Mother ..." Seeing Li Hongyu crying and laughing looks, they did not feel good about it. This was especially the case for Zhao Youxi.

He was different from Zhao Youming. Zhao Youming had been sent to various boarding schools and barely lived with Li Hongyu. He only met Zhao Youming a few times a year. Zhao Youxi, on the other hand, had been living by Li Hongyu's side ever since she was young. He was stuck with Li Hongyu like a superglue. Naturally, Zhao Youxi and Li Hongyu had formed a much closer bond compared to Zhao Youming. When Zhao Youxi saw Li Hongyu's heart breaking, she didn't feel good either. His hatred for Zhao Shuncheng and Zhao Youlin grew stronger.

After Li Hongyu had laughed enough, she casually used her hands to wipe away the tears that ran all over her face. He snorted, "I've been planning and abetting all my life. I conspired for men, finances, and status. Originally, I thought I had won the moment I became one of the Zhao family members, rose to the position of hostess, and kicked Zhao Youlin out of the Zhao family. I never thought .. in the end .. I lost .. I ended up losing everything ... Hahaha.!”

"Mom, mom, stop laughing. I'm gonna be mad to see you like this. You still have us. You got us." Tear marks were all over Zhao Youxi's face. He pursed his lips as he looked at Li Hongyu. He couldn't help but cry.

Li Hongyu looked numb, as if she was immersing herself in her own world, and could not hear any sounds from outside.

When Zhao Youming saw her in her current state, he couldn't help but sigh. He turned his head and said to Zhao Youxi, "Sister, please come out for a while. You and I are not emotionally stable. If the two of you were close together, the situation would only get worse. You can go out for a breath of fresh air first, while I'll talk to him alone. He should also be calm.”

Zhao Youxi was stunned. Looking at the dazed Li Hongyu, he tried his best to hold back the tears that welled his eyes. He nodded reluctantly.

"Talk to him properly. Don't bother him anymore.”

"OK, I know.”

Zhao Youxi glanced at Li Hongyu before she got up and left. At that moment, little did he know that this would be his last meeting with Li Hongyu.

Right after Zhao Youxi left, Zhao Youming's eyes sparkled. His expression changed a little.

Zhao Youming called Li Hongyu and whispered to her, "I heard that the police officer has enough evidence about you hiring a hitman to attempt a murder. They are now hesitant on how to give you the sentence.”

Right after Zhao Youming spoke, Li Hongyu's lifeless eyes were still lit up once more. He looked at the young man opposite him, bright with interest.

"Hiring a hitman to try murder is a serious charge. Although no one was injured or killed in the end, it had caused irreversible damage. You can at least be sentenced to two or three years in prison, and moreover, this case also involves the Mu family and the Su family..."

Seeing Li Hongyu's expressionless face, Zhao Youming sighed and continued, "I've done some research on the matter. It was a member of the Su family who had handed over the evidence of your crime to the eldest Uncle in turn, handing the evidence to the police officer. In that case, as long as there are people from this family who have a hand in it, there is a high chance that you will be sentenced to eight to ten years in prison, Mother.”

Zhao Youming glanced at Li Hongyu indifferently before he exclaimed, "Mother, Father has cut ties with you and my older sister, but not me.”

Li Hongyu's entire body shuddered. He looked at Zhao Youming in confusion.

Zhao Youming met Li Hongyu's gaze. He instinctively touched the earrings on his right ear. She smiled faintly as she said, "Mother, you said you have failed miserably. Actually, you still have me. How can you be defeated?”

Looking at his son in front of him, who looked completely like a stranger to him, he could not hold back any of his eyebrows. "So?”

"Mother, you've been fighting for years. You don't want to admit that you've been defeated so miserably, and become a laughing stock for the rest of your life, do you?" Zhao Youming looked at Li Hongyu deeply. His expression remained the same, but the words that came out of his mouth were shocking. "You could spend ten years of your life in prison, by the time you're released from prison, you'll be wasting ten years of your life. In fact, your ten-year gap is all empty but a criminal record. What else could you do at that time? Instead of living in a borrowed time where you cannot get back up, and will be looked down upon by everyone, rather than having to suffer like that, why not you…"

"Truly vanished from this world?!" Zhao Youming narrowed his eyes, his almond-shaped eyes looked more cunning than foxes, and a glimpse of bone-chilling light flashed across them.

"Youming, you want to win, and be a top dog, huh?" Li Hongyu grinned, her gaze becoming complicated as she looked at her son, whom she expected to be tall.

The corner of Zhao Youming's eyes wrinkled. "If possible, who wouldn't want to win in this world? Who wouldn't want to appear as the top dog in the world? Mother, don't you want to be one too? If it wasn't for this purpose, why would you have to go through so much trouble? Why did you send me to a famous university abroad and now, ask me to come home from abroad anxiously? You do all this just because you don't want me to lose to anyone, and so I can always stand on top of where everyone should look up to, right? If so, you should know very well that there is something that needs to be given so that I can go higher.”

After resting for so many years, Zhao Youming knew that he was not inferior to anyone. However, he had been abroad for many years and had no solid foundation in his home country.

If he wanted to rise steadily, he needed something or someone who could afford it with leverage. He needs capital rather than being forced to carry stains or marks that can be criticized by others anytime and anywhere.

Li Hongyu looked at Zhao Youming for a very long time. He suddenly let out a skin of laughter. His laughter was filled with self-deprecation and sadness. The one who heard her laughter could not help but feel hurt for her.

"Good, good. You're fantastic!”

Zhao Youming's eyes were drowning. Looking at Li Hongyu's almost crazy appearance, the corner of her lips curved upwards, as she said, "Mother, you're the one who has taught me well. What I do now, I learn from you, mother.”

Li Hongyu suddenly stopped laughing. His gaze turned grim as he looked at Zhao Youming, he said coldly, "I can help resolve your worries, but I have a request.”

"What's your request?”

"Send your sister abroad. Send him out of this country that could cause trouble as soon as possible". Li Hongyu looked at the person opposite her as she gritted her teeth and said those words.

Zhao Youming's hand was still resting on his right earlobe, he jerked his hand movements. She met Li Hongyu's reddened eyes before she smiled and said mockingly, "Mother, at the end of the day, you still love my sister.”
