Chapter 285: A Part of the Truth (2)
After the divorce, Zhao Youxi had gone to trouble Zhao Youlin, but Zhao Youlin easily retaliated and had told her off arrogantly.
“Zhao Youxi, you’re right. I’m not Zhao Youlin. The previous Zhao Youlin has died. She has died the moment she stepped out of Zhao family’s house and Mu family’s house. Now, I’m no longer the eldest lady of the Zhao family who can be bullied by you guys.”
‘I’m no longer the previous Zhao Youlin.’ Zhao Youlin had repeated this sentence in front of almost everyone. But at that time, none of them had thought about it in this manner.
Perhaps since long ago, this person was no longer the original Zhao Youlin. She was… another person.
For the first time, Mu Tingfeng felt that he was really going crazy. He would even believe in such an of unscientific phenomenon.
But as soon as this thought appeared, it quickly encroached on every corner of Mu Tingfeng’s mind, forcing him to admit the authenticity of this thought.
There was always a voice in his mind reminding him…
If she was the previous Zhao Youlin, would he really be attracted to her? If Zhao Youlin had not had a completely different temperament than before, would he still like her?
He hated her so much previously and tried every means to divorce her so that she would disappear in front of him forever. Why was he suddenly attracted to her? In the process of being attracted, he fell in love with her even more deeply.
If it was the previous Zhao Youlin, why could she not make him fall in love with her after four years of getting along? However, she completely monopolized his attention during the period of less than a year after they divorced.
All of this revealed an obvious fact.
Mu Tingfeng held the information tightly. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The moment he opened his eyes again, his eyes had returned to a calm state. He turned his head and shouted to the outside of the ward, “Secretary Xia!”
Xia Zhetao, who had been staying outside all the time, did not dare to neglect it when he heard Mu Tingfeng called him. He immediately opened the door of the ward and walked in.
“President, how may I help you?”
“Tell them to continue the investigation.”
“Investigate what?”
Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, “Investigate whether the Young Master Luo, who danced with Youlin at the birthday party of Master Zhao, and this Officer Zhao know each other, and what is the relationship between them. Besides, investigate whether Youlin has had contact with this Young Master Luo before.”
Luo Weibing was a person who suddenly appeared when Zhao Youlin divorced Mu Tingfeng. He was sure that before that, Zhao Youlin had either stayed at the Mu family’s house or Zhao family’s house. She rarely went out of the house throughout the year, and it was absolutely impossible for her to know him.
The most important was that through the way the two got along, they seemed to be very familiar with each other. It felt as if they had known each other for many years.
After all the signs were combined together, there was only one possibility. Luo Weibing did know Zhao Youlin, but this Zhao Youlin…
If it was like what he thought, then…
When Zhao Youlin came back with the meal, Xia Zhetao had already left with the task. Only Mu Tingfeng was left lying on the hospital bed in the ward. His eyes closed tightly, and his pale face made him look particularly fragile when matched with the snow-white duvet.
Zhao Youlin was stunned, and she subconsciously walked quietly. But she still inevitably disturbed someone who closed his eyes to rest.
When Zhao Youlin saw Mu Tingfeng open his eyes, she sighed and asked softly, “Where is Secretary Xia?”
“He has something to do, so he left first.”
“Was he in a hurry?” Zhao Youlin frowned, and she looked troubled. She had even bought his share of the meal, but now, no one was going to eat it. What a waste.
Mu Tingfeng seemed to have seen Zhao Youlin’s troubles. His eyes flickered, and he changed the topic cleverly. “I’m hungry.”
He had already left, so it was no use to think about it anymore. Zhao Youlin accepted her fate and threw the extra share she bought aside. Then, she stepped forward and skillfully helped Mu Tingfeng up. After that, she picked up the rice she bought for Mu Tingfeng and prepared to feed him.
Zhao Youlin’s actions were extremely natural. These were what she learned when she took care of Mu Tingfeng these days. How quickly things settled in to become habits were really scary sometimes.
Zhao Youlin did not think much about it, but Mu Tingfeng’s eyes were filled with warmth that only appeared when he was facing the person in front of him.
The consequence of staring too attentively at the person in front of him was that when Zhao Youlin handed the porridge to Mu Tingfeng’s mouth, his mouth was tightly closed and did not open at all.
“Huh? It is not to your appetite?” Zhao Youlin glanced at the bowl of porridge she was holding and said patiently, “You just lost so much blood, so you can’t eat too greasy things. Let’s just eat some of it. Besides, you have to blame yourself for this incident. If you didn’t go out when your wound is not healed yet and caused it to open up again, you don’t have to suffer now. Quickly eat it.”
Mu Tingfeng was stunned by Zhao Youlin’s nagging. When he saw someone who was obviously worried and sorry but had to pretend to be uninterested, his heart beat even strongly.
How could there be such a contradictory person? She was clearly dazzling in front of people, but in private, her details showed that she was an extremely considerate person. It made people unwilling to look away from her.
Mu Tingfeng opened his mouth and ate the porridge handed over by Zhao Youlin and filled his stomach. After seeing Zhao Youlin breathe a sigh of relief to herself, the agitation he felt almost made him lose control.
The other hand hidden in the duvet held the duvet underneath him tightly. Under that hand was the file Xia Zhetao had given him just now.
Mu Tingfeng’s fingertips slowly swiped across the bulge on the file. He looked at the person in front of him quietly and secretly thought that even if it was as he expected in the end, he would never let this person go as well.
Zhao Youlin’s blind date was interrupted, and she was even directly spirited away by Mu Tingfeng to be his nanny. The god of destiny was really making a fool of them. On the other hand, Xiao Jingyao’s expression instantly changed after he received the information Xia Zhetao asked people to send over. He directly turned around and ran to Zhao Shunrong’s office.
“President, this is the information that President Mu had asked to send over.” Xiao Jingyao handed the file to Zhao Shunrong with a serious face.
Zhao Shunrong took a cursory glance, and his face instantly became gloomy. “You just said that President Mu asked someone to send this information over?”
“Yes.” Xiao Jingyao’s expression was a little complicated. He lowered his head in shame and said, “I’m useless. I have only found a few clues after investigating for so long. I didn’t expect President Mu…”
Zhao Shunrong shook his head. He looked at this competent subordinate, who had been with him for many years. Then, he sighed and said, “It’s not that you’re useless, but the forces behind the Mu family are too powerful. Aside from the strength of the Mu family, the strength of the family of the Mu family’s madam is not comparable to that of the Zhao family.”
