Zhao Shunchang was stunned. Apparently, he still could not find his senses and failed to recover in a timely manner upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s response. “W-W-What?”
Zhao Youlin smiled gently. She repeated herself patiently, “My younger cousin has always been a member of the staff in this company. It is understandable that his absence for a period of time was due to his hospitalization. Since he has regained his health and he intends to return to the company, I naturally welcome him back.”
Upon hearing Zho Youlin’s words, Zhao Shunchang was overjoyed. He truly found his eldest niece a very forgiving person. Even though his son had offended her, she had not been calculative with them and had instead returned them with kindness.
“Youlin, I would like to offer my apologies on behalf of Yifei. He has been spoiled by his mother and me since he was young. I am very sorry that he had treated you so rudely previously. I’ll teach him a lesson when I go back later. I’ll ask him to listen to you in the future. Regarding the company’s matter, I’m counting on you to take care of the company. When Yifei comes back, please watch over him as well.”
“That’s very polite of you, Uncle. In fact, it’s only a given that I should be doing all these. Uncle, don’t worry. Once my younger cousin returns to the company, I’ll certainly take care of him.”
Zhao Shunchang did not pay attention when Zhao Youlin had emphasized her last few words. After he received Zhao Youlin’s confirmation, he did not stay on for long. Soon, he found himself an excuse and departed from her office.
While Zhao Shunchang was going back in a joyful mood to report this to Sun Fengzhi, unbeknownst to him, the moment he turned around, the fake smile on Zhao Youlin’s face immediately faded and was replaced by a thought-provoking expression.
Regardless of Zhao Yifei’s return, after all, he would not have much impact on Zhao Youlin. She had long known about Zhao Yifei’s ability.
Even if the pie fell down from the sky, or he was given the position of chief director, he still could not achieve anything out of it, much less when his position was just an idle job.
If Zhao Yifei did not come back, Zhao Youlin naturally had no qualms about it. But, if he did, he would still be beneficial to her.
At least, she could use him to get a certain one, who failed to accept reality, into trouble.
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips unwittingly curled upward. She could not wait to see Zhao Youming’s reaction the moment he saw the appearance of Zhao Yifei in the company.
However, little did Zhao Youlin know that she did not have to wait long for this to happen at all. Right after Zhao Shunchang left her office, he bumped into Zhao Youming who was holding a stack of documents and walking out.
Zhao Youming was obviously struck dumb the moment he saw Zhao Shunchang. He was snapped out of his daze after some time. He grinned as he shouted, “Uncle.”
Zhao Shunchang had not noticed Zhao Youming. When he heard his shout, he paused mid-stride, turned his head around and sized Zhao Youming up. He was enlightened and said, “You are Youming.”
“Uncle, finally, you remember me, huh?” Zhao Youming smiled as he went up to Zhao Shunchang. “Uncle, when did you come back?”
Zhao Youming had long learned that Zhao Shunchang and his family had gone abroad the moment he returned to his home country. Therefore, he was stunned when he saw Zhao Shunchang just now.
“I just came back. How about you, Youming? When did you return? How about your overseas studies?”
Unlike Sun Fengzhi, Zhao Shunchang was rather pleased with his second older brother’s illegitimate son. In fact, he had a good impression of Zhao Youming.
This was because he found that Zhao Youming was very intelligent and excelled in his studies. As the only two guys in the Zhao family, Zhao Shunchang inevitably compared Zhao Yifei with Zhao Youming. However, the more he compared the two, the more disappointed he was.
Zhao Youming worked hard on his own to study overseas from a young age. As for his own son, he just lazed around doing nothing all the time and had promiscuous relationships with women!
“I came back a few months ago. I’ve finished my courses overseas before the schedule. After thinking it over, I decided to come back to my home country to train up myself.”
“Finished your courses before the schedule?” Zhao Shunchang was a little shocked. “You went overseas two years ago and have already finished all your courses so soon?”
Zhao Youming smiled as he nodded his head. The next moment, he asked, “Uncle, since you’ve come home now. How about my aunt and younger cousin…? I heard someone mention that Yifei was suffering from a major sickness and has been sent for overseas treatment. I wonder now…”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shunchang was a little embarrassed. He felt ashamed whenever he recalled his son’s unspeakable illness. He replied perfunctorily, “He’s getting much better. He’s recuperating overseas now. However, he should be returning to his home country soon. By the way, Youming, are you interning in this company?”
“Yes, I am. Uncle, do you have any instructions for me?”
“Actually, there’s nothing much. It’s just that Yifei might return to the company soon. He is not as intelligent as you, so I hope you could take care of him.”
Zhao Youming’s expression changed slightly. He said in bewilderment, “My younger cousin is returning to the company?”
“Yes. I’ve informed Youlin about this and gotten her approval.”
“Oh, that’s how it is. Uncle, don’t worry. I’ll certainly take good care of my younger cousin.”
After they chatted for a while longer, Zhao Shunchang left with a smile on his face.
As Zhao Youming watched his fading silhouette, his expression darkened. A hint of appalling gloom appeared in his eyes. ‘Zhao Yifei huh?! Hmph!’
On the other hand, Zhao Youlin had no idea that her efforts of getting the certain one into trouble had been realized much earlier than she thought. After she finished her work on hand and found that it was still early, she decided to make an appointment with Duan Yarong to pick up Joy.
When Zhao Youlin called Duan Yarong, Zhao Shunrong also happened to be at her side. In the end, the mother-daughter trip turned into a threesome.
Against their expectations, the moment they walked out of the company main entrance, they bumped into someone who was not supposed to be there. As a result, the plan to pick up Joy was destined to be canceled because of the person’s presence.
“He…” Duan Yarong immediately spotted the man who had been standing at the side of his car at a single glance. She was so excited that her entire body shuddered.
When Han Yichen saw her in her current state, the emotions in his eyes grew increasingly complicated. He hesitated for a while before he said in a low voice, “I have something to talk about with you all.”
Zhao Shunrong and Zhao Youlin locked gazes. He then turned his head around and looked at his son whom they had found not long ago and said, “There are a few restaurants nearby. We could find a place to chat.”
Han Yichen nodded his head. He made way for them so that they could get into his car.
While they were on their way, Zhao Youlin took the opportunity to call Mu Tingfeng and asked him to pick up Joy once again.
After that, the three found a restaurant. They booked a small room and walked in together.
Once they were seated, Han Yichen went straight to the point, “Regarding the matter that you guys mentioned last time…”
Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong grew nervous. They stared at Han Yichen intently.
“I went back and thought about it. You guys were right. We can’t change the past, but what matters most is the future. So…” While Han Yichen was speaking, he looked up and stared at them.. He looked like he had made up his mind and he spoke solemnly, “Father, Mother.”
