Chapter 398: Brother-in-law and Eldest Uncle (2)
Upon hearing Nie Yunfan’s introduction, Mu Tingfeng was stunned. Why had he not been informed that this person was acquainted with Zhao Youlin? Could he also be one of Zhao Youlin’s friends before she became the eldest lady of the Zhao family?
Thinking of this, the way Mu Tingfeng looked at Han Yichen carried a hint of inquiry. The longer he stared at him, the more he found that the person before him looked very familiar.
After some time, Mu Tingfeng finally remembered that the person in front of him was one of the staff whom he had previously met in Zhao Youlin’s outlet!
Judging from Han Yichen’s looks and his aura honed over the years in the business arena, even though he was dressed in the simple uniform and being tossed in the middle of the crowd, it was still very difficult for one to ignore his presence.
Mu Tingfeng had been to Zhao Youlin’s dessert outlet several times in order to meet her. At that time, Mu Tingfeng had already found that this man was different from the rest.
However, at that time, Mu Tingfeng had been in a rush. Therefore, he had not paid much attention to Han Yichen.
Now, he finally learned of Han Yichen’s true identity. Mu Tingfeng immediately understood everything.
Why would the president of Sheng Huang Group, a mysterious, wealthy and talented young man in Shalnork work as a staff in Zhao Youlin’s outlet all of a sudden?
Mu Tingfeng strongly believed there must be a purpose for him doing so. Or, could this person be doing this for the sake of… Zhao Youlin?
President Mu’s expression immediately darkened. Ever since he learned from the previous lesson related to Ye Yan, Mu Tingfeng perceived that anyone in this world could be his romantic rival.
With such a paranoid thought in his mind, he had to always stay cautious so that his wife, whom he had taken great pains to court back, would not be taken away by others!
“So, you’re Ms. Zhao’s ex-husband. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you too, President Han. I never thought you would know my girlfriend, Youlin.”
Mu Tingfeng had deliberately emphasized the word “my girlfriend”. Han Yichen’s expression immediately turned dark.
While the two men were talking to each other in a flattering and respectful manner, the bone-chilling and murderous aura released from them was so strong that Nie Yunfan shivered.
‘W-What… is happening? Did I say something wrong just now? Instead of easing the atmosphere, why has the atmosphere between the two grown more intense than before?’
They had been engaging in an if-looks-could-kill war by staring into each other’s eyes for a long time. Suddenly, Mu Tingfeng let out a bark of laughter and took the initiative to launch the attack, “President Han, no wonder I find you looking very familiar. It seems like we’ve met each other several times in… Youlin’s outlet.”
A sharp look appeared in Han Yichen’s eyes. He stared at Mu Tingfeng and said calmly, “President Mu, you have a good memory. Indeed, we have met each other before.”
Han Yichen answered in a straightforward manner. Mu Tingfeng’s eyes, which carried a hint of coldness, sunk, the ball of fire in his heart agitated him and he blurted out without giving it a second thought.
“It seems like Sheng Huang Group’s business has not been doing good recently.”
Han Yichen cocked one of his eyebrows. “President Mu, why do you say so?”
“If Sheng Huang Group is making profits, why would the president end up working as a staff in a small dessert outlet?”
“Feng…” Nie Yunfan stared at Mu Tingfeng, looking dumbfounded as if this was his first time getting to know the person in front of him.
When did this guy become so aggressive? What he heard just now must be an illusion. Yes, his mind must have been playing tricks on him!
Han Yichen soon received the hint of hostility from Mu Tingfeng. He found this to be hilarious.
As Zhao Youlin’s older brother, he had yet to settle an account with Mu Tingfeng for all that he had done to her, yet Mu Tingfeng had, in turn, come seeking trouble with him on his own?!
A mocking smile arched across Han Yichen’s lips. He faced Mu Tingfeng’s probing and teasing gaze as he said, “It looks like the prosperity of Sheng Huang’s business is none of your business, President Mu. Just like Ms. Zhao and you. You are her ex-husband, which means that you two have divorced and Ms. Zhao no longer has anything to do with you. Likewise, regardless of whether I am acquainted with Ms. Zhao or have worked in her outlet, it has nothing to do with you either, President Mu.”
Right after Han Yichen spoke, Nie Yunfan’s jaw dropped to the floor. He had known Han Yichen for many years and this was his first time to hear him speak so much at a single time. This was simply magical!
Han Yichen did not know the intensity of shock he had brought to his old friend as a result of his rare outburst. At that time, he only had a thought in his mind.
What right did this man have to behave so aggressively before him for one who had failed to appreciate his own wife and son?! What the heck?!
One had to say, even though Han Yichen was not raised in the Zhao family from young, the personality of protecting his close ones came from within his bones and he had completely inherited the trait from the Zhao family.
He had not taken Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group as his own family members just yet. However, if the opposite parties were truly his own blood relatives, they were undeniably his flesh and blood.
President Han was used to standing on his own ever since young and he hated to see his people getting bullied by others!
Indeed, this guy had an ulterior motive toward Zhao Youlin! Mu Tingfeng did not burst out in anger upon hearing Han Yichen’s words. Instead, he had discreetly labeled the person in front of him as someone who was ill-intentioned as well as his romantic rival.
Mu Tingfeng was dissatisfied with the fact that so many people had their eyes on Zhao Youlin. But, he would not be so silly as to start a conflict with a certain one in his territory.
President Mu had totally gotten the wrong idea and he decided to figure it out later. He stared at Han Yichen emotionlessly for some time before he said coldly, “I still have something to handle in my company.”
Han Yichen did not say anything further. He nodded his head. “President Mu, since you have things to handle, we won’t make you stay here any longer.”
Mu Tingfeng cast a profound glance at Han Yichen, as if he wanted to etch his face in his heart so that he could conduct an investigation on him later.
When Mu Tingfeng was about to leave, he deliberately passed a glance at Nie Yunfan.
His cursory glance was akin to saying he would spare him today but their business was not over yet.
Nie Yunfan hunched his shoulders. He touched his nose awkwardly. He still felt it a bit unbelievable as he watched Mu Tingfeng’s fading silhouette.
That’s all? He looked like he had a deep hatred for Han Yichen just now and they might end up fighting each other anytime. Why did everything change in just a moment? Mu Tingfeng was not behaving like himself!
Even though Nie Yunfan felt puzzled, he certainly would not torture and cause trouble for himself. Instead of dwelling on this incident, he might as well switch to another topic. He took the initiative and asked Han Yichen, “Chen, how is everything in Zhao Enterprise today? Have you signed the contract?”
Han Yichen had been annoyed and frustrated over the derailed incident since this morning. He never thought he would bump into an annoying presence like Mu Tingfeng once he returned to his company.
He immediately put on a long face at the main culprit of all this. His expression darkened as he cast a glance at Nie Yunfan. “Hmph!”
Nie Yunfan fell speechless.
