Chapter 156: Meeting An Old Friend At The Cemetery (2)

The moment Zhao Youlin said those words, Zhao Youxi’s expression changed on the spot. Ever since she objected to whatever Zhao Youlin had in the meeting room to cause trouble to her, she had been having a hard time in the office.

In the beginning, she was not bothered by it. After all, there were plenty of people who treated her and Zhao Shunrong as eyesores. Zhao Youxi always pretended that their hostility toward her was only because they were envious of her and Zhao Shunrong’s good background, and she never paid attention to their little tricks.

In any case, since she and Zhao Yifei were the young lady and young master of the family, even if these people thought that she was an eyesore, they would not dare to do anything to her.

But this time, she found that she was wrong. In the past, these people would not show their displeasure toward her on their faces and would just cause trouble to her in the dark. She could easily get through it and even teach a lesson to these people.

But now, these people had grown bolder. They actually dared to cause trouble to her outright, especially the ones who had higher positions than her. Last time, they were worried because of her status as a lady in the Zhao family and would not dare show their displeasure even if they were humiliated. They would continue being polite to her.

Now, they actually audaciously gave her all sorts of work and worked her to the point of exhaustion. When she showed the slightest displeasure, they would mock her, and even when she was angry, they were not afraid. Instead, they used their higher statuses to oppress her, and it made her so angry that she nearly destroyed the office.

When Zhao Youlin mentioned this at this moment, it made all the anger that had been accumulating in Zhao Youxi gush out. She growled at Zhao Youlin. “It’s you! You’re the one who told them to do this, right?1 Zhao Youlin, how could you be so vicious?”

Zhao Youlin laughed because of Zhao Youxi’s words. Who exactly was more vicious now?

Ever since she was reborn, she had never thought about forming any grudges with anyone. She just wanted to live a good life with Joy and find the culprit who shot her behind her back.

But these braindead people just kept appearing in front of her, and when she was annoyed, she decided to retaliate. How did she end up being a vicious woman who fought over the smallest things in this woman’s eyes? Besides…

“Do you think that there’s a need for me to do that?” When Zhao Youlin looked at Zhao Youxi, her eyes were full of derision.

It was just as Zhao Youlin said. She had actually not done anything, because there was no need to.

Zhao Youxi loved causing trouble to herself more than anyone else. That day, she had confronted Zhao Shunrong publicly in the meeting room, and after Zhao Shunrong mercilessly criticized her, the higher management in the company should have had a pretty good idea of Zhao Youxi’s position in the Zhao family.

Those who managed to become members of the higher management in a big company like Zhao Enterprise were definitely smart people. They were skilled in observing facial cues and reading between the lines. Figuring out the likes and dislikes of their superiors was also a necessary skill.

That day, after Zhao Youxi caused such a ruckus, aside from letting those of the higher management understand whose position was higher in the Zhao family between her and Zhao Youlin, it did nothing else.

With Zhao Youxi’s spoiled personality, she must have made a lot of enemies in the company. Last time, those people were wary because of her status as a member of the Zhao family. Even if they did not like her, they would still be polite to her because they respected the Zhao family.

But that day, Zhao Youxi had been too reckless and argued with Zhao Youlin in front of so many people. This in turn let the others see that she was not on good terms with Zhao Youlin.

Now, Zhao Youlin was Zhao Shunrong’s daughter and the general manager that the old master himself personally appointed for Zhao Enterprise. If Zhao Youxi and Zhao Youlin were on bad terms, then it meant that she was on bad terms with the president and chief director.

Now, there were plenty of people who always rubbed salt into someone else’s wounds in society and kicked the dog while it was down. Zhao Youxi had caused others to suffer in the past, and now, these people had a chance to take revenge, so they naturally thought of various ways to make her suffer. That was why it was not strange to see Zhao Youxi being bullied in the office.

Zhao Youlin had seen plenty of such schemes in the office in her previous life, so she understood what was going on. In fact, she did not even need to send anyone to investigate things and could guess that Zhao Youxi had not been having a good time recently.

Zhao Youxi saw the mocking lilt on Zhao Youlin’s lips, and her eyes turned bloodshot from rage. She became even more certain that all the trouble she suffered recently was because of Zhao Youlin, and she refused to believe that it had nothing to do with her.

She knew it. How could the people who had been so subservient to her become so bold suddenly and even dare step all over her? It was because Zhao Youlin was supporting them.

The grief she felt from being mocked and her envy for not being loved by her grandfather crept all over her heart like a venomous vine at that time. It roared in her heart and nearly caused her to be unable to hold herself back from attacking Zhao Youlin in front of the adults.

“It’s you… You… You’re the one…” Zhao Youxi’s eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Zhao Youlin’s face. Her body trembled faintly.

Why? Why… Why was this woman able to get so many things that she could not get?

The two masters of the Zhao family favored her, she had an enviable, glorious position, and she… was favored by that man!

She… had clearly been a clown stomped under her feet not long ago? Why did things suddenly change?

Those things should be hers! They were hers!

Zhao Youlin could tell that Zhao Youxi had lost her composure, and she discreetly moved to the side to block Joy and Duan Yarong, who were not far away behind her. She was not worried about Zhao Youxi, but she was worried that once Zhao Youxi went mad, she would be unable to tell who was who and injure Joy as well as Duan Yarong.

Fortunately, Zhao Youxi was not so hopelessly stupid as to physically attack Zhao Youlin in front of so many elders. In the end, she just bit her lip and glared at Zhao Youlin. Before she left, she parted with a vicious threat for Zhao Youlin.

Zhao Youlin was not bothered by it. After all, this was not the first time Zhao Youxi threatened her.

The small spat between the sisters did not attract too many people’s attention. Under the old master’s lead, all the people in the cemetery respectfully bowed to the old tomb a few times, regardless of whether they did it sincerely or were just putting up an act.

After visiting the old master’s wife, Zhao Youlin helped the old master back under the envious gazes of the other two families.

When they passed by a small fork, Zhao Youlin suddenly saw two familiar figures not far away. She shuddered and stopped moving.

“What’s wrong?” Since the old master was supported by Zhao Youlin, when Zhao Youlin stopped moving, he, too, stopped.

Zhao Youlin snapped out of her daze and smiled at the old master. “Grandfather, I suddenly remember that I seem to have left something at Grandmother’s tomb. Why don’t you go back first? I’ll go back to take it, and I’ll take a cab back later.”
