Chapter 214: Do You Think You’re Worthy of This? (2)
A crease appeared between Zhao Shuncheng’s eyebrows. He wondered what else could it be if not for Zhao Youxi offending Zhao Youlin, as well as being found displeasing in Zhao Youlin’s sight and so, got her kicked out of Zhao Enterprise.
Looking at Zhao Shuncheng’s expression, Zhao Youlin knew that Zhao Youxi and Li Hongyu certainly had not told him the entire story. As she recalled what Zhao Shuncheng had said previously, the smile of mockery grew increasingly prominent.
“From the look of it, you didn’t have the slightest bit of idea about the nasty thing Zhao Youxi did. So, today you came to me because you think that I’ve misused my authority for personal gain and wronged your precious daughter, right?”
Zhao Youlin sucked in a deep breath, “Great. That’s wonderful! Since Zhao Youxi is still thinking of working on things in her way, I no longer have to keep covering up for her. Mr. Zhao, I have something with me, it’s a recording and this is the reason why Zhao Youxi has been kicked out of Zhao Enterprise. You better listen to it carefully and tell me afterward if I should bring her back to Zhao Enterprise.”
Upon listening to Zhao Youlin’s words, Zhao Shuncheng could not help but frown. He instinctively felt that what he was about to hear was not going to be something good. Yet, his curiosity got the better of him and he wanted to know the entire story.
Zhao Youlin gave him no options. She immediately took out the portable mobile phone and pressed the play button.
Originally, Zhao Shuncheng was a little puzzled. But, when he heard the two familiar voices coming out of the mobile phone, the hint of puzzlement dissipated without a trace.
The office fell silent except the occasional noises of arguments came out from the mobile phone.
While the dialogues between the two were playing, Zhao Shuncheng’s expression changed from puzzlement to utter horror. Then his complexion turned pale and finally, he was filled with shock and panic.
His daughter… his daughter almost… murdered someone! On top of that, she nearly killed his daughter!
Zhao Youlin had been observing Zhao Shuncheng’s reaction ever since she pressed the play button. After some time, she paused the recording and added fuel to the fire by saying, “Mr. Zhao, I suppose now you know the reason why I insisted on driving your daughter out of Zhao Enterprise, right?”
The impact was so great that Zhao Shuncheng had difficulty recovering his senses. His face turned white. He pointed at Zhao Youlin’s mobile phone and said with difficulty, “This… this…”
Zhao Youlin smiled faintly, “Do you still remember the accident of the falling elevator that happened in the company not long ago? It’s not an accident. It was an intentional homicide! Moreover, the culprit who devised the homicide is precisely your so-called innocent daughter — Ms. Zhao, Mr. Zhao!”
“How can this… How is this possible…” Zhao Shuncheng felt like he had been struck by thunder. The feeling was so unbearable that he took a few steps back.
Zhao Youlin inexplicitly gloated when she saw his expression.
The reason why she had not lodged a police report and let them arrest Zhao Youxi immediately after gathering sufficient evidence was because she wanted to seize the opportunity to cut ties with Zhao Shuncheng.
If she did not spare Zhao Youxi from the beginning, Li Hongyu would not spare her, and even though Zhao Shuncheng would not say anything to her on the surface, he would certainly resent her from the bottom of his heart.
The couple was of the same kind, and not forgetting Zhao Youming who was currently overseas. These people might come together and cause big trouble for her.
However, the situation had changed. Zhao Youlin had Zhao Youxi’s crime evidence in her hands and yet, she spared Zhao Youxi. With that, Zhao Shuncheng would think that she was generous and forgiving, while had scruples about Zhao Youxi who intended to kill her elder sister.
Zhao Youlin also spent some effort in driving a wedge between Zhao Shuncheng and the mother-daughter pair so that he held grudges against them.
Li Hongyu had a good life in the Zhao family all because Zhao Shuncheng doted on her. In addition, she also gave birth to a son who was rather successful compared to others.
Once she loses her support from Zhao Shuncheng, Zhao Youxi and her life in the Zhao family would be very different from now.
As Zhao Youlin thought of this, the corners of her lips unwittingly curled upward. She said mockingly, “The entire dialogue has been recorded. What else is impossible? Why? Didn’t Ms. Zhao tell you about this? Well, she’s right. How can she simply tell others about things like this? She could be sent to jail if she did. Luckily, Ms. Zhao is already eighteen years old now. Otherwise, for a juvenile committing such a deed at this age, I’m afraid her guardian has to be blamed for this, right, Mr. Zhao?”
The moment Zhao Shuncheng heard the word “jail”, his face turned white. A hint of fear was caught in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Youlin.
Zhao Youlin, on the other hand, still had not had enough of it. She added, “When I first learned about the truth, I was just as shocked as you, Mr. Zhao. As such, I have to make the hard decision to kick Ms. Zhao out of Zhao Enterprise so that she could reflect on herself. When I drove her out, I’d already told her that I could spare her, but I won’t let an enemy who is after my life at all times to stay by my side. I hope she can manage herself well. Little did I think that not only had she not reflected on herself, she had also asked you to look for me and above all, she never told you the truth. As a result, you and I have misunderstandings against each other.”
Zhao Youlin’s first half sounded like she was comforting Zhao Shuncheng. In fact, she was hinting to him that Zhao Youxi had concealed such an important matter from him and had even asked him to plead on her behalf. If not for Zhao Youlin having a clear mind and sensing that something was not right, she might have thought Zhao Shuncheng was the mastermind behind who had instructed his daughter to do so.
In fact, the reason why Zhao Youxi had not informed Zhao Shuncheng about this was because she was scared and at the same time, she felt guilty. However, after Zhao Youlin had mentioned this, the situation changed entirely. Zhao Youxi was thought to have wanted to get away with her crime and so, she asked Zhao Shuncheng to plead on her behalf and put all the blame on him. He had been taken advantage of by his daughter.
What kind of person Zhao Shuncheng was? He was used to drinking alcohol, flirting and living a comfortable life. He hated being caught up in trouble the most.
Otherwise, Li Hongyu did not have to put in so much effort to persuade him to stand up for Zhao Youxi back then.
Yet, Zhao Youxi had caused him tremendous trouble this time. He got increasingly annoyed with Zhao Youxi even though he did not appear to look so on the surface.
Of course, this was partly because he had already formed a certain impression about his daughter.
All the while, Zhao Shuncheng had thought that his precious daughter was just behaving mischievously. After all, young girls are normally spoiled and like to be pampered.
However, today, he realized that his daughter was no longer just being mischievous, she actually intended to murder someone! What else could she not dare to do?!
