Chapter 99 - The Former Master of the Zhao Family (2)



Chapter 99: The Former Master of the Zhao Family (2)

Zhao Youlin carefully sifted through her body’s memories of the past. Zhao Shuncheng was the one who had fully supported her marriage with Mu Tingfeng. Meanwhile, the former master of the house, the eldest uncle and eldest aunt of the Zhao family had not seemed as optimistic about her marriage.

Back then, everyone knew clearly just how Zhao Youlin got herself married to Mu Tingfeng.

Perhaps Zhao Shuncheng was the only one who thought that being married to the Mu family under such a premise was still honorable.

It was precisely because of this that the former master of the house, who had been good to Zhao Youlin, became completely disappointed with her. Ever since Zhao Youlin married into the Mu family, he had never asked anything about her in the Mu family.

The previous Zhao Youlin thought that the former master of the Zhao family was being unreasonable. However, when the current Zhao Youlin recalled the past, she knew that he had always meant well.

Those who did not listen to the old folks’ advice would only suffer the consequences. Perhaps, this saying was referring to the previous Zhao Youlin.

When Zhao Youlin understood it, her impression of her grandfather, who had appeared suddenly without greeting her, rose considerably.

Despite having a good impression about him, Zhao Youlin could not possibly let down her guard against him especially since they just met for the first time. One had to know that she was a widow left to fend for herself alone with Joy. Although everything seemed peaceful on the surface, various parties surrounding them had been harassing them.

A click was heard right after Zhao Youlin finished listening to the former master of the house’s words. She took out the switchblade that had been a weapon just now and started to manicure her nails as if no one was around.

The former master of the Zhao family froze. He recalled what Uncle Zhao had told him when he saw the blade in Zhao Youlin’s hand. Those ancient eyes — which had become that way because he had seen all sorts of people in his life — shone with a curious look.

“Do you carry the blade with you wherever you go?” The former master of the Zhao family sounded like he was glossing over the question when in fact, he was almost dying with curiosity.

Zhao Youlin smiled faintly and replied indifferently, “I have so many enemies that they come after me one after another. If I don’t get myself equipped with a small tool as self-defense, I can’t even tell if I’m dead.”

Since Zhao Youxi came to find fault with her last time, she had purposely armed herself with the switchblade. She had picked up some skills when she was in the police force. Later, she had learned to fight brutally under the execution of special missions.

However, as the saying goes, one could not fight so many people on one’s own. Moreover, she had offended a bunch of numbskulls. Those maniacs could come out of nowhere out of desperation and do anything to her. So, it would be better to be well-equipped.

But, Zhao Youlin had never expected that the small object she got for herself to be used in the fight against the former master of the Zhao family’s men instead of that family.

The former master of the Zhao family looked at Zhao Youlin. He felt that the woman before him was different from the eldest granddaughter he had in his mind.

No matter how gently he had treated the previous Zhao Youlin, she never once raised her head or looked into his eyes.

However, the current one… She also did not look at him even once since she entered through the door. Instead of fear, she actually did not seem to have a need to do so.

All his life, it was his first time being neglected like this. A strained smile was seen on his haggard face.

On second thought, the experience was quite refreshing. His oldest child had not been able to conceive a child even until today. Meanwhile, his second and third children, including the kids from their concubines as well as his great grandchildren were not close with him. They avoided him just like mices who saw a cat. None of them were like his eldest great grandchildren before him who was not afraid of the stranger.

The former master of the Zhao family’s heart melted whenever he thought of Joy’s silly, cute and obedient look. He faked a cough and tried hard to maintain his dignity and said, “Since you’re having a hard time outside, let’s just go home. I wonder who dares to lay a finger on the members of the Zhao family.”
