Chapter 38  : The Storm Begins (3)

Who was Mu Tingfeng? He was the current president of Mu Feng Group, the largest multinational company in Country Z. He was the only heir in the bloodline of the Mu family, one of the greatest four families in Country Z. It was said that his grandfather was a jewelry tycoon in a foreign country. Therefore, his network of contacts spread around the world. He even knew a handful of well-known figures who dabbled in both legal and illegal business. He was a man who carried a lot of weight, be it in City S or Country Z.

If they offended a big shot like him, they would have a hard time in the Zhao family, as well as in City S in the future.

“Youlin insulted Young Master Mu before the crowd?” Li Hongyu said incredulously, “How could she humiliate the young master Mu in public?! Has she gone mad?!”

“I’ve no clue if she’s gone mad or not. The only thing I know is that she’s driving me mad!”

Li Hongyu’s expression stiffened. She continued to add fuel to the fire and pretentiously persuaded him, “Shuncheng, don’t be mad. Perhaps, Youlin had lost herself in the heat of the moment. After all, I heard that Young Master Mu was the one who proposed to divorce. Moreover, it was said that he has a mistress outside of the family. She got angry because…”

Before Li Hongyu finished speaking, Zhao Shuncheng interrupted her impatiently. He became increasingly annoyed as he said, “How could she simply offend a big shot like Young Master Mu?! Even if she’s angry, so what?! All the more she shouldn’t agree to divorce Mu Tingfeng. He has a mistress, so what?! In today’s century, are there even men without mistresses outside the family?! As long as she strengthened her position as Madam Mu, what does it matter to her even if he had several mistresses outside the family?! She… She’s just like her mother, as dumb as a rock!”

After Zhao Shuncheng finished speaking, Li Hongyu’s expression instantly changed. Others might not have known better than herself. Back in those days, she took down Zhao Youlin’s mother to earn the position she had today. Therefore, Zhao Suncheng’s words had somehow put her to shame.

On the other hand, Zhao Shuncheng did not seem to notice this. He continued to grumble, “The moment she divorced Mu Tingfeng, she’s no longer the madam Mu. It’s all her loss! She’s become a nobody. The Mu family could get rid of her like a slice of cake. Her inability to think carefully has caused trouble for us!”

“Alright. Don’t be mad. It’s better to find a solution to solve this matter.” Li Hongyu heaved a sigh, and said with a look of exasperation that implied a certain one had failed to live up to his expectation. “How could Youlin be that ignorant?! She keeps getting people to worry about her. Unlike Youxi, although the Yun family is not as powerful and wealthy as the Mu family, she and Yun Fan have fallen in actual love. They would certainly be an admirable couple after getting married.”

Zhao Youxi was Zhao Youlin’s half-sister. It was because of this reason Zhao Youxi had often competed with her sister, bullied her or took her things. She had been warned by her mother that she had to beat Zhao Youlin in everything. In fact, she did. The only time she lost to her was in terms of marriage partners. Back in those days, Zhao Youxi used to have an eye on Mu Tingfeng. However, before she could make a move, Zhao Youlin was already one step ahead of her. Although the way she got her hands on Mu Tingfeng was rather disgraceful, she had beaten her overwhelmingly. Now that Zhao Youlin finally divorced Mu Tingfeng, how could the mother and daughter miss the chance to add insult to injury?

Just as she expected, the moment Zhao Shuncheng heard Li Hongyu’s words, he lifted his gaze and looked at his second daughter. He said with his eyes glowing with admiration, “‘Oh, what else can be done? Tomorrow I’ll assign someone to look for that rascal and ask her to offer her apology to the Mu family.”

“This is the only way. I’ll come with you tomorrow. We can advise her properly.” Li Hongyu’s eyes sparkled. A scheming look appeared in her eyes.

The couple discussed of ways to persuade Zhao Youlin to give in and pleaded for her guilt. Little did they know that Zhao Youxi who had not spoken was rolling her eyes and thinking of a scheme to herself. ‘Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng have finally divorced. Does that mean I still stand a chance?”
