Chapter 402: Different from Usual (2)

Su He got a shock. Her face turned ghastly pale as she said, “How can it be? General Manager, I don’t even have a boyfriend, how can I possibly…”

Zhao Youlin sized Su He up profoundly for some time. Su He felt a chill sent down her spine under her stare. Just when she thought Zhao Youlin had seen through her, Zhao Youlin smiled and said, “I am just joking around. Xiao He, look at you, you are so nervous. You can’t be feeling guilty, can you?”

“General Manager, why am I even feeling guilty. This joke isn’t funny at all, okay?!” Su He acted like she was annoyed. However, in her heart, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

“Fine. I don’t want to tease you anymore. Xiao He, I couldn’t believe that even though you look mature, you actually feel annoyed whenever you talk about this topic. Indeed, you are still an inexperienced young girl.”

Although Su He was baby-faced, after getting together for a long time, Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group learned that an incredibly mature and level-headed soul hid beneath her young and cute appearance.

Today, Zhao Youlin finally had a chance to tease this experienced and mature but child-like person. Seeing that Su He was losing her composure before her, how could Zhao Youlin possibly miss such an opportunity that came once in a blue moon?

Soon, Su He read Zhao Youlin’s mind. She shook her head in resignation and did not say anything more.

Seeing that Su He had resumed her cool, Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh. She did not say anything. She helped Su He out of the washroom.

Unbeknownst to Zhao Youlin, at that moment, Su He’s inner feelings were certainly not as calm and composed as they were being shown through her expression.

Zhao Youlin’s previous words were like a huge rock that had set off a wave of shock in her heart.

‘Pregnant? How could it be?’ She only had sex with… that night… Could it be so coincidental that it happened within a night…

Thinking of this, Su He grew increasingly restless. She touched her flat belly discreetly and subconsciously clenched her hands. An obvious trace of uneasiness flashed across her eyes.

Su He’s sudden departure had not only shocked Zhao Youlin but also Li and Ling Ran. By the time Su He returned, the two showed their concerns for her.

Su He thanked them for their concerns. Meanwhile, in her heart, she decided to do a medical check-up in the hospital. She wanted to find out what was the actual cause of her unusualness during this period of time.

After the brief interlude, Zhao Youlin went back to her busy schedule once again. However, little did she know that, at this moment, an unexpected guest appeared in her office.

“Uncle?” Looking at the man who followed behind Li as they entered through the office door, Zhao Youlin cried out in puzzlement.

The person who came was Zhao Youlin’s third uncle, Zhao Shunchang, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Ever since Zhao Yifei’s incident, Sun Fengzhi had taken Zhao Shunchang along and caused a commotion at Zhao Youlin’s place. In the end, not only had they failed to blow off the steam, but they were also kicked out by both Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng.

Since then, Zhao Youlin had never seen the presence of the family of three in the company again.

Later, she heard that Zhao Yifei had become impotent because of her flying kick that time.

The moment Zhao Yifei, who had been a promiscuous young master and flirted with many women, learned about this, he had thrown a huge tantrum. As his mother, Sun Fengzhi naturally could not put up with the fact that her son became crap throughout the remainder of his life.

Sun Fengzhi had wanted to settle the account with the main culprit, Zhao Youlin. However, Zhao Youlin not only had the backings of the former master and Zhao Shunrong, but she also had the ardent pursuer, Mu Tingfeng, protecting her.

Therefore, no matter how furious Sun Fengzhi was, she could only settle for less and took her son overseas. She hoped that foreign advanced medical technology would cure her son.

His wife and son had gone abroad. After the conflicts between her wife and son with Zhao Youlin, as the “head of the family”, Zhao Shunchang naturally felt shameful to stay on to face Zhao Youlin and Zhao Shunrong. Therefore, he had applied to study abroad from the company and went overseas together with his wife and son.

And now, Zhao Shunchang had come back. This also meant that Sun Fengzhi and Zhao Yifei…

A glimpse of complexity was caught in Zhao Youlin’s eyes. Even so, not the slightest bit of this showed up on her expression.

Zhao Shunchang also felt a bit embarrassed as he faced Zhao Youlin.

In private, the person in front of him had caused her son to become impotent. She was the main culprit that had caused him to lose his descendants.

In public, the person in front of him had been harmed by his son. Out of desperate moments, this young, innocent lady had to fight back in order to protect herself. Therefore, he could not really put all the blame on her.

This was especially so when the person before him was his own niece. Regardless, as a father, he was truly put to shame because his own son had laid a hand on his own cousin.

Zhao Youlin sensed Zhao Shunchang’s awkwardness. She shot a glance at Li discreetly and said, “Li, I have something to talk to my uncle about. You may go out first.”

Li received her hint and nodded her head. She turned around and left the office.

The moment the office door was closed tightly, Zhao Youlin turned her head around and smiled faintly at Zhao Shunchang, “Uncle, when did you return to your home country? Why didn’t you tell us?”

Zhao Youlin did not find her uncle a bad guy. In fact, she found him to be a very hardworking and friendly man. He did not behave snobbishly like a wealthy young master.

Unfortunately, he was very soft-hearted and also a coward. Therefore, he was easily manipulated by Sun Fengzhi.

Zhao Shunchang had never thought that Zhao Youlin would talk to him so calmly. When he came with Sun Fengzhi last time, Zhao Shunchang still vividly remembered that Zhao Youlin had treated them with cold, frigid hostility.

Before Zhao Shunchang came to look for Zhao Youlin, he had imagined that he would be treated coldly by Zhao Youlin. Little did he know that this time, the way she treated him was much gentler than before.

“I-I… just got off the plane. I have some urgent issues to handle, so I decided to return first. That’s why I didn’t tell you guys beforehand. H-How… have you guys been doing lately? How are my older brother, sister-in-law and father?”

“All of them are doing well.” They had found their grandchild and son. Perhaps, no one would be happier than them during this period of time.

Zhao Youlin smiled and asked back, “How about you, Uncle? How have you been over the past few months overseas?”

Zhao Shunchang’s expression instantly looked strange. He forced a smile as he said, “Fine… We’re doing fine…”

With a single glance of Zhao Shunchang in his current look, Zhao Youlin knew that Zhao Yifei’s treatment overseas had not been going smoothly. A glimpse of light was caught in her eyes. She pretended she had not noticed anything and replied faintly, “Oh, that’s great.”

Right after Zhao Youlin spoke, the office fell into a dead silence.

Zhao Shunchang was not very eloquent in his speech. Upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s words, he did not know how to start a new topic to break the quiet atmosphere. As he thought of his purpose of looking for Zhao Youlin today, he unwittingly felt anxious.
