Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng calmed themselves down after being frightened by the former master of the family. Just when they were about to leave and return home, Zhao Youlin’s mobile phone rang once again.
This time, Zhao Youlin quickly picked up the call because it was from Duan Yarong.
“Hi, Mother. Yes. We’re outside now. What is the result of Yue Yue’s check-up? Really? Congratulations to Yichen and Yue Yue. Okay. Tomorrow I’ll take Joy and come over. Okay. Alright. That’s all.”
Although Mu Tingfeng had roughly speculated certain things from Zhao Youlin’s conversation, Mu Tingfeng still asked to confirm, “What’s the matter?”
After Zhao Youlin hung up, she turned her head around and looked at Mu Tingfeng. She gave a smile as she said, “It’s from my mother. The results of Yue Yue’s medical test have been released. She’s truly pregnant. She has been pregnant for about two months. If I count the days, it should happen on the day when my elder brother proposed to her.”
Mu Tingfeng was not surprised with the results. He gave a nod and said quietly, “When you go over tomorrow, please congratulate Yichen and An Yue on my behalf.”
Zhao Youlin stared at Mu Tingfeng’s face but did not say anything.
Mu Tingfeng felt goosebumps under her stare. He creased his eyebrows and asked, “Are you not feeling well? Or… do you have something else?”
“No. Nothing. Let’s go home.” Zhao Youlin discreetly looked away and faced the front.
Mu Tingfeng noticed that Zhao Youlin did not plan to say anything more. Despite having queries in his heart, he did not want to force her. As such, he quietly started the car engine and returned to the Mu family’s villa.
After the entire day of hard work, Zhao Youlin was exhausted. When she reached home, she had her dinner and took a rest with Joy.
By the time Mu Tingfeng entered the bedroom, Zhao Youlin had already fallen asleep with Joy. Under the reflection of the soft moonlight, an indescribable heartwarming image of Zhao Youlin and Joy came to his sight.
Mu Tingfeng sat by the bedside and watched his wife and son, who were in deep slumber. He was aware that Zhao Youlin had something hidden from him. He also knew that Zhao Youlin had hidden certain things from him ever since they came back from the Su family’s residence.
However, he was fine with it. After all, they were officially husband and wife. He did not mind if Zhao Youlin had hidden something from him. But, he still hoped that she could be truthful to him soon.
“Goodnight.” As usual, Mu Tingfeng bent over and planted a kiss on Zhao Youlin’s forehead. The next moment, he turned around and slept on the other side of the bed.
Little did Mu Tingfeng know that as he was sleeping on the other side of the bed, Zhao Youlin, who was supposed to be in deep sleep, opened her eyes all of a sudden. She did not look sleepy at all. She stared blankly at the empty darkness. After some time, there was a trace of absolute determination in his eyes.
The Zhao family was over the moon when they learned of An Yue’s pregnancy. However, several people in unison had decided to keep this joyous news a secret.
One, Duan Yarong and the rest of her group preferred to keep a low profile. They hated to make a splash in this kind of thing. Two, they naturally understood that making a big deal out of something would only draw the others’ attention to it. Many people targeted great families like theirs in order to have a hold on them so that they could use it to do something against them. As a result, it was not a wise decision to enjoy temporary vanity at the expense of their loved ones’ safety.
As such, apart from Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group, as well as the trustable people in the Zhao family, the outsiders had no knowledge of An Yue’s pregnancy.
The next Monday, which was also the third day after learning that An Yue was pregnant, Zhao Youlin sensed the company’s atmosphere was very unusual as soon as she arrived at the company. Her keen sense, which she had inculcated over the years, told her that something unusual was going on.
Reality showed that she was correct. When she reached the counter, she saw a group of receptionists gathered around and mumbling among themselves.
“Sigh, do you know that we have a new chief of the human resources department?”
“Yes, I’m aware of it. We’re told that the previous chief took leave to deliver her baby. At the same time, the position of the chief of the human resource department couldn’t stay vacant for too long. As such, the company found someone to take over her position temporarily.”
“Then, do you know who is the new chief of the human resource department?”
“Who is that person?”
“Is it Young Master Zhao who was previously from the development department?”
“Young Master Zhao from the development department? Do you mean the one who had been kicked by the general manager and was admitted to the hospital…”
“Right! It’s him!”
“How could it possibly be him? I thought…”
“What? Do you think that he won’t come back anymore? Well, no matter what, he is still the young master of the Zhao family. How can he possibly be kicked out of the company? However…”
“However what?”
“However, I was told that the moment he came back, he ran to the development department and beat up its chief.”
“What? Was he so ruthless? I heard that the chief of the development department is… the general manager’s cousin, isn’t he?”
“That’s right…”
“Young Master Zhao is also the general manager’s cousin. Speaking of which, both the chiefs of the human resource department and development department are kith and kin. Why do they still…”
“We don’t know. But haven’t you watched the cliche setting from the dramas? Most of the siblings from the great families usually fought among themselves and got each other killed. As his cousin, the General Manager had kicked Young Master Zhao and caused him to be admitted to the hospital. Therefore, it was no surprise that the young master Zhao would beat up the chief of the development department and cause him to be admitted to the hospital as well.”
“Makes sense…”
The group was engaged in a heated discussion. None of them noticed when Zhao Youlin approached them and had roughly learned the entire story from their conversations.
Zhao Youlin had never thought that Zhao Yifei would throw her a surprise the moment he returned to the company. The first thing the new chief did was to seek revenge on Zhao Youming, something that was within her expectation and justifiable.
It was a sensational start. Zhao Youlin believed the future would be more exciting. Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips curled upward. She walked past the receptionists and greeted them in a good mood, “Good morning.”
The receptionists, who were in the middle of a heated discussion, reflexively responded to Zhao Youlin, “Good morning.”
By the time they realized the person who had greeted them, the receptionists were… struck dumb.
Zhao Youlin ignored their reactions and went to her office, located on the forty-sixth floor as usual. She handled stacks of documents while waiting for Zhao Yifei to fall into the trap.
As she had expected, Li’s scream rose from outside not long after Zhao Youlin sat down in her own office. “Chief Zhao, Chief Zhao, General Manager hasn’t arrived yet. Please look for her later, if anything.”
“It’s already so late. If Youlin still hasn’t come to work, I must say, the position of a general manager is so relaxing!”
“Sigh! Chief Zhao, what are you doing? Chief Zhao…”
A loud bang was heard. Zhao Youlin’s office main entrance was harshly slammed open from the outside, and Zhao Yifei’s haughty appearance had once again shown up in front of her. Li, who was standing behind him, appeared nervous and guilt-stricken.
Zhao Youlin nearly burst into laughter when she noticed Li’s familiar, bitter expression. She thought to herself. ‘Now that Su He is pregnant.. She most likely wouldn’t return to the company after delivering the baby. Isn’t it best to start looking for a skillful secretary again?
