Chapter 483: A Little Incident In The Office (1)
The bitter Secretary Xia just unwittingly became the fall victim to their public display of affection. His complexion was pale and blue, which was so interesting to look at.
While Xia Zhetao was looking at the sky and thinking in desperation about what a poor and miserable life he was going to lead after he loses this job, how he was going to live on the streets, how he was going to beg on the streets bringing his pet with him and how people was going to look down on him, Zhao Youlin suddenly snorted with laughter.
“Alright now. Stop it.” Zhao Youlin smiled and gave Mu Tingfeng a look, mentioning suggestively, “I still have something I want to talk to you about.”
After Zhao Youlin said that, Mu Tingfeng immediately threw Xia Zetao a look.
His eyes were sending a clear and blatant message, ‘Be obedient and get out now. If you keep staying here and continue being the third wheel, I will fire you immediately when I go back later!’
Xia Zhetao shuddered violently in fear. He got up off the floor at lightning speed. Xia Zhetao bowed to them and rushed out of the office like the wind. Before he left, he even considerately closed the door for them.
After Zhao Youlin watched Xia Zhetao leave, she walked to the desk with a large bouquet of flowers in her arms. While inserting the flowers into the transparent glass vase, she opened her mouth and asked, “Have you told your family about our remarriage?”
Mu Tingfeng was so unbelievable. Not long after the announcement of their remarriage was made on Duan Yarong’s birthday banquet, Zhao Youlin found out that he did not tell his family about their remarriage at all.
When Zhao Youlin accused him, he still looked like he had not done anything wrong and said in a serious manner, “Remarriage is a matter between you and me. What does it have to do with them?”
Mu Tingfeng’s thought was actually very simple. When he and Zhao Youlin got a divorce back then, he had not told his family either. Now he and Zhao Yulin were ready to remarry, naturally, he would not inform them too.
Zhao Youlin sneered after she heard Mu Tingfeng’s self-assertive argument. She managed to hold back her impulse to slap him in the face and explained it to him for quite some time in a patient manner. She finally got Mu Tingfeng to agree that he should inform Su Ruixin and his father after he went home, before his parents were driven mad by him if they heard about the news from someone else.
But it turned out that Zhao Youlin had really underestimated the Mu family’s couple’s reaction when they heard the news. After Mu Tingfeng went back and nonchalantly mentioned in front of the couple that he and Zhao Youlin were preparing to remarry in the near future, Su Ruixin’s screams almost toppled the roof of the Mu family villa.
She was not bothered at all by Mu Tingfeng’s decision to remarry Zhao Youlin without telling her in advance. She excitedly broke the news to her sister, who was Su Qing’s mother, who later told Su Qing the news.
Two sisters and a niece had been talking about it for the entire night. In the end, they came to the conclusion that in spite of Mu Tingfeng’s low emotional intelligence, he actually had managed to convince Zhao Youlin to get back with him. Their son-slash-nephew-slash-cousin must have saved the universe in his previous life!
Compared to Su Ruixin’s dramatic reaction, Mu Xiaoyang was evidently much calmer. After listening to what Mu Tingfeng told him, he replied nonchalantly, “Okay, good job.”
So, Mu Tingfeng had completely inherited his parents’ unreliability. Zhao Youlin’s concerns earlier were completely unnecessary.
After informing the elders, the only change to the whole thing was that Su Ruixin had taken over all the wedding affairs, which was initially under Mu Tingfeng’s hand.
After Zhao Youlin learned about the development of the matter, she rolled her eyes in a resigned manner and felt a bit speechless about his family.
However, what Zhao Youlin was more concerned about was not the reaction of Mu Tingfeng’s parents.
In fact, when Zhao Youlin ran into Mu Tingfeng’s parents at the hospital last time, she had already sensed it, perhaps it was because of Mu Tingfeng’s change in attitude toward her.
Su Ruixin and Mu Xiaoyang did not reject her and even then respected Mu Ting Feng’s decision, hoping that Mu Tingfeng could get back together with her.
However, other than his parents, there was another important figure that was the real person in charge of the Mu family currently.
That was the head of the entire Mu family, Mu Tingfeng’s grandfather, Master Mu!
In Zhao Youlin’s impression, that old man had stayed abroad all year round, and he had been staying in Yorkshire because of his health in the early years.
Because of this, a large part of the Mu family’s business had also moved to Yorkshire. The Mu Feng Group, which was managed by Mu Tingfeng now, was just a drop in the bucket for the Mu family. However, this drop was enough to intimidate the entire Shalnork, which was enough to let people understand what a powerful and terrifying existence the Mu family was.
It was no wonder that even the very influential figures in Shalnork, be it in business or politics, were all respectful in front of such a junior as Mu Tingfeng, not daring to do anything that would offend him.
Master Mu seemed to be suffering from an old illness. He was the same age as Master Zhao, but his health was slightly worse than him. He stayed in Yorkshire all year round to recuperate. If not necessary, he simply would not come back to Zelford.
In Zhao Youlin’s memory, in her four-year marriage to Mu Tingfeng, she had only met this old man just three times.
The first time was when Master Mu personally brought Mu Tingfeng to the Zhao family to discuss the marriage of Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng with Master Zhao. The second time was at their wedding, and the last time was on the day of… Joy’s birth.
And on that very day, the old man had offered to take Joy away, but Zhao Youlin, who had just given birth to Joy, did not want to give him away, to which she even threatened to kill herself if he took him away.
After she made a big scene, Master Mu did not force her any further. He left Zelford with his men the next day, leaving behind only the old butler who had been close to him to take care of Mu Tingfeng.
Zhao Youlin had just met him three times, plus she could only focus on Mu Tingfeng back then, she did not remember much about this old man. It made it harder for Zhao Youlin to know more about the old man through the original owner of her body.
So much so that, no matter how hard Zhao Youlin tried to recall it, she could only remember Mu Tingfeng’s grandfather was a stern old man, who resembled Mu Xiaoyang, as for the rest… she got nothing.
As this was the conclusion she got, Zhao Youlin could not help but feel a little concerned.
Even though she knew that the reason why Mu Tingfeng had agreed to marry Zhao Youlin was entirely because the old man asked him to. It seemed that this old man was actually the first person in the entire Mu family to accept Zhao Youlin.
But this old man’s attitude toward the previous Zhao Youlin was just too inscrutable.
Seeming to see through what’s on Zhao Youlin’s mind, Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered slightly. He suddenly spoke in a deep voice, “My grandpa asked you to come to Mu Residence this week. He would like to speak to you alone.”
