Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful Chapter 785

Chapter 786 - Minor Accident (2)

As if she could read Sirius’ thoughts, Zhao Youlin smiled faintly and took a sip of water. She said in a low voice, “Don’t be impatient. Zhao Youming will soon pay the price for what he has done. What we need to do is to watch how he pays the price.”

Sirius’ eyes lit up. He was 100% convinced by Zhao Youlin’s words, especially after seeing Zhao Youlin’s undisguised confidence, Zhao Youlin must be holding a card in her hand that had yet to be released, and this card was very likely to bring Zhao Youming to eternal damnation.

Reality proved that the sixth sense was not only available to women, but also to men.

However, both Zhao Youlin and Sirius had expected that Zhao Youming would not be complacent for too long, but they did not expect this so-called “retribution” to come so quickly.

The former master would also be speaking at the Zhao family’s anniversary celebration, in addition to Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong hosting the gathering. However, this segment was to be held at the end of the entire banquet, so almost no one from the upper echelons of the Zhao family dared to leave the venue without permission.

After the initial exchange of blows with Zhao Youming that was neither awkward nor awkward, Zhao Youlin basically had nothing to do. She just quietly hid in a corner, talking to Ye Yan and Siris and drinking water.

She was four months into pregnancy. She had basically stopped touching those drinks that had been laced with an unknown amount of preservatives. She did not dare to eat anything at the banquet, so she could only drink water.

The side effects of drinking too much water were obvious. In addition, Zhao Youlin could not stay in the same place for too long. Zhao Youlin, who was not feeling too comfortable, looked at the time and found that it was still early before the old master spoke, so she decided to get up and walk around for a while before going to the washroom.

“You two, sit here for a while. I’m going to the washroom. I’ll be back soon.”

Ye Yan glanced at Zhao Youlin’s stomach and was a little worried. “Can you do it by yourself? Do you need help?”

Zhao Youlin could not help but laugh. “No need. I can do it by myself. It’s just a trip to the washroom. I’m not that fragile. You two, sit here for a while. I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Youlin walked slowly through the corridor. Just as she was about to turn to the bathroom, a person suddenly rushed toward her in a hurry.

Zhao Youlin was caught off guard by the collision and lost her balance. Seeing that she was about to hit a wall, the person who hit her finally reacted. She exclaimed and reached out to steady Zhao Youlin.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Are you okay?”

Zhao Youlin looked at the wall that was so close to her and let out a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that the person who hit her was a girl wearing a white baseball cap. The girl was wearing a neutral outfit, and she was holding a tray in her hand. However, because of the collision just now, all the drinks in the tray had spilled on the girl, making her wet and miserable.

“I’m fine.”

The girl looked Zhao Youlin up and down for a while to make sure that Zhao Youlin was really fine. Only then did she heave a big sigh of relief. “It’s good that you’re fine. I’m sorry. I just walked over from over there and was too anxious. I didn’t notice another person here. I’m really sorry for bumping into you.”

Zhao Youlin did not intend to dwell on this matter. When she heard the girl’s sincere apology, the smile on her face became even more profound, she said in a low voice, “It’s okay. I’m fine. On the contrary, it’s you. You’ve spilled your drink. I don’t think you can wear your clothes in this state. You should go back and change first.”

Only then did the girl realize that fruit juice had splashed all over her body. She said a little awkwardly, “Okay… okay. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. I’m really sorry for what happened just now.”

Zhao Youlin could tell that the girl seemed to have something urgent to do, so she did not stay any longer. She nodded and watched the girl leave.

Looking at the girl’s back, Zhao Youlin felt that something was strange, but she could not pinpoint it at the moment.

The former master had already walked into the hall by the time Zhao Youlin returned to the banquet after settling her internal emergency. After exchanging a few pleasantries with a few of her more important partners, he planned to go to the podium.

The first thing Ye Yan said when he saw Zhao Youlin coming back was, “Why were you gone for so long? I thought something happened to you. I was just about to inform your brother to go to the washroom to look for you.”

Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes at Ye Yan. She had a feeling that Ye Yan seemed to have learned something bad from Ling Ran after he got married. He was becoming more and more eloquent at throwing out such hurtful words at the critical moment.

“I ran into a little accident on the way here, and it took me some time. I didn’t miss anything important, did I?”

“No, you came back just in time. The former master was just about to go up on stage to give a speech. Speaking of which, is your former master planning to say something?” Ye Yan glanced at the former master on stage and felt that the atmosphere was a little unusual.

Zhao Youlin frowned. She said uncertainly, “It should only be about the past year’s performance, future plans, encouraging employees, and thanking the partners. I’m not very sure either. Last year, the company did not hold an anniversary celebration because of a little accident.”

The accident that Zhao Youlin mentioned concerned Li Hongyu and Zhao Shuncheng. At that time, Li Hongyu had committed suicide in prison after being taken in for attempted murder, and Zhao Shuncheng was kicked out of the company because he was found to have embezzled public funds. The former master had always been in a bad mood. Duan Yarong and the others had said that since next year was going to be a few full years anyway, they might as well save it for the next year to have a good celebration. Therefore, last year’s anniversary celebration was simply put aside.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time that Zhao Youlin had participated in such an anniversary celebration.

Ye Yan and Sirius did not know this. After hearing Zhao Youlin’s words, they believed it and nodded in tacit understanding.

Unfortunately, what happened next proved that the two of them and Zhao Youlin were still too naïve.

The former master stood in front of the stage and scanned the entire hall in high spirits. After making sure that everyone was present, he cleared his throat. His voice was loud and clear as he said, “First of all, thank you all for coming to our Zhao family today to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the founding of the Zhao family.”

The former master had just finished speaking when the crowd erupted into thunderous applause. The former master smiled and waved his hand. He let the crowd quieten down first. “35 years ago, I single-handedly founded the Zhao Corporation with a team of fewer than 20 people under me. In those 35 years, there was dawn and dusk, some people left, while others stayed behind. People kept leaving and others kept joining in. Today’s Zhao group could not have had such brilliant achievements without every member of the Zhao group and those who never abandoned us in times of crisis. They have always helped us, supported each other, and cooperated with us.”

Zhou Youlin, a famous ice queen of the special forces. During an accident in her mission, she was betrayed by her squad mates and was shot twice. She died on the spot. When she woke up again, she became the useless madam of a rice family and was a resentful wife who was neglected by her husband. Her son, too, was neglected. “If I’m not mistaken, we’re already divorced. You’re currently invading my home, my dear ex.” Zhao Youlin raised her chin and sat at the end of the couch with her legs folded. She looked prideful. Mu Tingfeng was expressionless. “We can get married again.” Zhou Youlin quirked her eyebrows. Then, she swung her hand, and a large number of handsome men’s pictures were spread on the table. “Baby, be a good boy and choose someone you like to be your stepdaddy, okay?” Mu Tingfeng’s expression… turned dark.
