“How can one reserve the hospital whenever they like?! Regardless, I’m going in to see who’s staying inside!”
“Sigh, Miss. Why do you have to do this? If you insist on barging in, don’t blame us for using force, then.”
“Using force on me? Fine, I shall see how rude you guys are going to treat me! Let me tell you, if you dare to lay a finger on me, I’ll scream about being molested!”
“You!”
Zhao Youlin’s expression darkened when she heard the woman’s unreasonable words. She more or less could figure out her identity.
Indeed, after the sounds of struggle, a familiar figure appeared at the ward entrance. The black-clad bodyguards were behind the figure, and their expressions were dark.
“President Mu, this woman…” The black-clad bodyguard looked at the expressionless Mu Tingfeng, who was lying on the bed, looking absolutely terrified. A drop of sweat dripped from his forehead.
Zhao Youxi had never thought the person staying inside the ward was the person she wanted to look for. She immediately burst with glee and dashed over to him. However, when she saw the person standing next to him, her expression instantly changed. She shouted in a high-pitched voice, “Why are you here?!”
Right after hearing Zhao Youxi’s shout, Zhao Youlin found it hilarious. She smirked, “Why can’t I be here?”
Looking at Zhao Youlin’s smug look, Zhao Youxi was so angry that she nearly suffered from a stroke.
She had purposely woke up early in the morning, and went straight to the hospital with the tonic soup that had been stewed for several hours by the chef at home. Never did she think she would be given a cold shoulder the moment she stepped in the hospital entrance — President Mu had given strict instructions that he would not be seeing anyone.
Zhao Youxi was not the type of person who would retreat when things got tough. She kept pestering the nurses working on shifts for a long time so that they told her Mu Tingfeng’s exact ward room.
However, the nurses were tight-lipped. Zhao Youxi could not dig any information from them after some time. Out of rage, she decided to look one by one while carrying her stuff.
She had taken great pains to come to this floor, but was informed that she could not enter. At least, Zhao Youxi was still somewhat intelligent. She immediately noticed something unusual about it. Therefore, she insisted on barging in to take a look at the person inside.
It was blind luck for her to have barged into Mu Tingfeng’s ward.
The moment she saw Mu Tingfeng, she was very delighted, as if a pie from the sky had fallen upon her.
Unfortunately, before her joyful expression was shown on her face, she was struck dumb by the person who was not supposed to be here — Zhao Youlin.
Zhao Youxi hated Zhao Youlin to the marrow of her bones.
Ever since Zhao Shuncheng threw a huge tantrum on her after coming back looking for Zhao Youlin, her father no longer fulfilled all her requests like he used to. Now, he seldom stayed at home, and even if they saw each other, he treated her coldly and did not care much about her.
Zhao Youlin’s bold and confident reply further intensified Zhao Youxi’s anger and jealousy. She was so angry that she lost her rationality. She could not care much less about others, and simply shouted at her, “You disgraceful wench! President Mu has divorced you, yet you still offer yourself to him shamelessly! What a disgrace! Do you think President Mu will thank you just because you stay here, pretending to look pitiful and showing concern to seduce him?! Stop having that wishful thinking!
Right after Zhao Youxi spoke, everyone on the spot, including Mu Tingfeng was dumbfounded.
The bodyguards, who had been given a firm order to treat Zhao Youlin respectfully and politely, like how they treated President Mu, widened their eyes. They looked at Zhao Youxi as if looking at a fool who simply spewed nonsense.
They wondered why was there such a stupid woman in this world. Pretending to look pitiful and show concern to seduce their president? Anyone could see that it was their president who kept using ways to draw Ms. Zhao close, okay?!
After Zhao Youxi finished speaking, Mu Tingfeng’s face was so black that it was darker than night.
What was wrong with this woman?! How could she scold Zhao Youlin like this in front of him? One could imagine how terrible she could be when she scolded her behind public curtains.
Mu Tingfeng had known that Zhao Youlin was not valued by the Zhao family back then. This was especially so when his father married her stepmother and took in his illegitimate children.
With such a family background, Zhao Youlin certainly did not have a good life when she was in the Zhao family.
When Mu Tingfeng investigated the Zhao family’s details, he had already known that Zhao Youlin’s stepmother and step-siblings, who had joined the family via back-door, had not treated her well.
However, he never thought that Zhao Youxi treated Zhao Youlin so poorly to this extent.
Such a disgrace for an illegitimate child to accuse her own sister of offering herself to a man before the public! Had gods given her the guts to do so?!
She clearly had the guts to act so arrogantly even when Zhao Youlin had given respect to her, much less imagine how she treated her discreetly.
The moment Mu Tingfeng thought about how many grievances Zhao Youlin had suffered in the Zhao family without him knowing everything, he inevitably felt heartache.
People were like this. When they did not care about you, no matter how well they knew about your pathetic situation, they would not even bother to cock their eyebrows. But, when they care about you, even if you scraped a tiny part of your skin, they would feel so much heartache, as if a piece of their own flesh had been sliced off.
Unbeknownst to Zhao Youlin, Zhao Youxi’s cussing at her had intensified a certain one’s sympathy for her. Looking at the mad woman’s reddened eyes, who had been consumed by jealousy, and could no longer discern anything except revenge, the corner of Zhao Youlin’s lips unwittingly curled upward, showing the hint of a mocking smile.
This woman was very stupid. She always spoke without thinking. If not for a scheming mother, she had no chance to survive until now.
Thinking of this, Zhao Youlin quirked one of her eyebrows. She turned around and looked at Mu Tingfeng. She spoke smugly, “President Mu, I shamelessly offer myself to you, and pretending to look pitiful and show concern for you to seduce you…”
Zhao Youlin was truly annoyed by a numbskull like her. So, she decided to use Mu Tingfeng to shoo her off. After all, this was his territory now.
Little did she realize that Mu Tingfeng did not perceive the entire situation the same as she did.
Although the woman was young and looking youthful, she exuded an uncharacteristic aura.
She raised her chin and widened her almond-shaped eyes, exuding an aura of laziness that inevitably drew others to her, especially to the person she was looking at.
Looking at the woman who was asking him coquettishly to back her up like a Persian cat asking for food from its master, Mu Tingfeng felt a hammer raining down on his heart. He had the urge to pull her into his arms, and claimed her as his so that her charm solely belonged to him.
