Chapter 721 Adding Insult To Injury (1)
Mu Xiaoyang and Su Ruixin were still staying in the country and had no intention of going back. They seemed to be very happy.
The former master of the Mu family had a hard time staying abroad alone. When he heard that Zhao Youlin was pregnant, he wanted to come back and see Zhao Youlin.
The former master would have flown back impatiently if Zhao Youlin had not stopped him and made a promise. They would bring Joy to him when it started snowing.
“Okay, we’ll leave after the full moon celebration of Xiao Qi’s child.”
Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered as he silently calculated how long the vacation quota he had accumulated over the years and the vacation he had saved from not going on his honeymoon would last.
As for the possibility of his departure causing problems with the company’s operations, Xia Zhetao was there anyway. What was the use of a secretary? It was to act as a scapegoat at such a critical moment!
Mighty Secretary Xia, who had no idea that he had been scammed by his superior again, suddenly felt a chill. He could not help but reach for his chest and rub off the goosebumps that had suddenly appeared on his body.
“As expected, winter is coming. Why do I suddenly feel so cold?” Xia Zhetao sniffed and silently looked at the sky, thinking about getting a new set of clothes for himself when he headed home.
Just as Zhao Youlin had said, the truth could not be kept secret. Zhao Yifei had been kicked out of the Zhao family, and Sun Fengzi had paid kidnappers and even plotted to kill the newly born young master of the Zhao family more than 20 years ago. It soon spread among the upper-class circles.
There was no shortage of gossipers in this world. With such big news, many people could only guess why Zhao Yifei had been kicked out of the Zhao family.
Some people guessed that Zhao Yifei was like Zhao Youxi back then. He had a mother who caused trouble, and even a few elders of the Zhao family disliked him. That was why he was kicked out of the Zhao family.
Some people said that Zhao Yifei was originally the only legitimate male in the Zhao family. Not only did another young master of the Zhao family suddenly appear, but he also got married first and was about to give birth to the firstborn grandson of the Zhao family.
Zhao Yifei was naturally unhappy that he was robbed of the opportunity, so he had urged his mother to do those shameful things. When the elders of the Zhao family found out about this, they were naturally outraged, so they chased him out as well. The Zhao family now had another male, and they would soon have their first grandson. There was no need for Zhao Yifei, in such a situation, it was a repeat of Zhao Youxi, wasn’t it?
Rumors spread rapidly, and there were all kinds of speculations, and they became more and more ridiculous. In the end, some people even guessed that Zhao Yifei was not a child of the Zhao family at all. The Zhao family could not afford to raise another family’s child, so they chased him out.
However, rumors were like clouds in the sky. People on dwelled on them for a moment, and many people just treated the changes in his family as a joke. Not many people truly believed it, therefore, many people had unknowingly missed the truth.
Regardless, Zhao Yifei was truly kicked out by the Zhao family this time. Not only was he kicked out of the Zhao family, but he was also kicked out of the Zhao family’s company. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Zhao family really intended to draw a clear line with him this time. They wanted to sever all ties with him!
When they found out about this matter, there were some who gloated over Zhao Yifei’s misfortune, some who often looked down up them from the sidelines, and of course, others were eager to find trouble, just like now.
Zhao Shunchang gave Zhao Yifei two days. Not only did he pack up the things at home, but he also packed up the things that he had left in the company. This meant that Zhao Yifei was not only kicked out of the Zhao family, he was also kicked out of the Zhao Corporation.
When Zhao Yifei went to the Zhao Corporation to pick up the things, the news about the mother and son pair had already spread. No matter where Zhao Yifei went, there would always be people pointing fingers at him.
Although it was done very discreetly, to Zhao Yifei, who was now in full-blown paranoia, those messy gazes and unbearable whispers were like knives stabbing into his heart. It was difficult for him to ignore it, but it was not the worst to come.
Zhao Yifei hastily packed up the more important things in his office. When he walked out of the office with the small paper box in his arms, he met one of the people he truly did not want to see.
Of course, Zhao Yifei did not know that a certain someone had been paying attention to him ever since he heard about him. He had been waiting for this moment.
“Hey, isn’t this Chief Zhao from the Human Resources Department? Why are you carrying so many things?” Zhao Youming had a bright smile on his face as he glanced at the paper box in Zhao Yifei’s hand.
When he saw Zhao Yifei’s face that was as black as the bottom of a pot, he pretended to come to a realization. “Aiya, look at my memory. I heard that you won’t be working in the Zhao group anymore. These items should be your treasures, right? Ah, that’s not right. Since you’re going to leave, I can’t call you Chief Zhao anymore. What should I call you, then? Cousin? It doesn’t seem good either. I heard that you were kicked out of the Zhao family. It doesn’t seem right to call you cousin. Then, how should I address you now? Mr. Zhao?”
Zhao Youming’s words stabbed at Zhao Yifei’s heart. Zhao Yifei’s face turned green and white. His bloodshot eyes glared at Zhao Youming without saying a word. He raised his foot and was about to pass Zhao Youming and walk out.
It was a rare opportunity for revenge. How could Zhao Youming let Zhao Yifei go just like that? He moved his foot and blocked Zhao Yifei again.
Zhao Yifei’s face turned completely gloomy. He stared at Zhao Yifei and said coldly, “Move aside!”
Zhao Youming smiled slightly. “Why should I move aside? Is this path yours? Since it’s not yours, I can go wherever I want. Why should I move aside when you tell me to?”
“Zhao Youming, don’t go too far!” Zhao Yifei’s face suddenly turned ferocious as he gnashed his teeth. “Who do you think you are? How dare you block my path! I repeat, move aside! Otherwise, I will…”
The smile on Zhao Youming’s face was much more restrained because of Zhao Yifei’s words. He smiled coldly, he said contemptuously, “Otherwise, what will you do? Zhao Yifei, do you really think that you are the precious young master of the Zhao family from the past? It seems that it’ll take some hammering home for you to realize your situation.”
As soon as Zhao Youming said this, Zhao Yifei’s expression became more and more unsightly. How could he not remember?
In the past two days, he had suddenly fallen from heaven to hell. From a young master of a wealthy family, he had become a street rat that everyone could step on!
