Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful - Chapter 856

Chapter 856: The Undercurrent Of The Lu Family (2)

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng did not know that their anxious expressions had been misunderstood. The moment the door was closed, the atmosphere in the room changed.

Zhao Youlin sighed. She knew that if she did not clarify the matter today, it would very likely become a thorn between the two of them. She then told Mu Tingfeng everything that had happened after she was taken away by Lu Sizheng.

Mu Tingfeng was quite angry at first, but the more he listened, the more serious his expression became. It was no longer the kind of solemnity that came from jealousy, but the solemnity that stemmed from pure concern about Zhao Youlin.

“You mean… he asked you if you believe that a person can rise from the dead and return to life through a corpse?”

Zhao Youlin nodded with a solemn expression. Her eyes were filled with worry that had been suppressed for a long time.

“You suspect…” Mu Tingfeng muttered, “That he knows about you besides me?”

“Other than you, it should be that kid, Luo Weibing. Although that kid seems a little off-key, he won’t blabber about my secrets.” Zhao Youlin’s expression was also unusually solemn. The fact that she was reborn was only known to Luo Weibing, other than Mu Tingfeng. The former master of the Mu family only had a vague guess, at most.

The anger in Mu Tingfeng’s heart had all faded away, and his usual calm gradually returned to him.

“Don’t be anxious. That guy, Lu Sizheng, looks simple, but he’s actually treacherous. This matter might just be a bluff. After all, you are indeed different from the previous Zhao Youlin. Maybe he is only grasping at feathers, so he deliberately tested you.”

Zhao Youlin nodded helplessly. “I think so too, but I’m afraid that he really knows something.”

…

“So what if he really does?” Mu Tingfeng’s face darkened, and he quickly grasped the key point and said coldly, “So what if he really found out that you’re not Zhao Youlin? Everything is just his guess. He has no evidence at all. This is the supernatural. No amount of hard evidence will ever give it traction. Even if he said it out loud, how many people would believe it? Moreover, even if a person’s temperament really changed suddenly, there are many life-changing events and phenomena in this world. When you were reborn, that woman was in the middle of a divorce from me. It’s stressful and it’s a trigger-event. Your own relatives have yet to discover what happened to you. How could an outsider be so sure that you really came back from the dead?”

Zhao Youlin was moved by Mu Tingfeng’s words. The situation between her and Lu Sizheng was not like the situation between her and Mu Tingfeng. Mu Tingfeng knew the eldest lady of the Zhao family very well, so he could see the difference between them at a glance, but even so, he only realized that something was wrong after interacting with her a few times. He had people investigate her and secretly observe her.

But what about Lu Sizheng? They had definitely not met more than five times. Moreover, he had never come into contact with Zhao Youlin before. Even if he discovered something, it was probably just hearsay. He was really just trying to trick her.

Zhao Youlin took a deep breath. Her uneasy heart slightly calmed down. “Yes, I understand. Whether he really knows or whether he simply wants to trick me, it doesn’t matter. I’ll be more careful in the future. I won’t give myself away in front of him.”

Mu Tingfeng looked into Zhao Youlin’s eyes and couldn’t help but reach out to touch her face. He pressed his forehead against hers with a hint of helplessness and heartache. “If it’s possible, I hope you won’t see him again.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned. She slowly reached out and wrapped her arms around Mu Tingfeng’s waist. “I don’t want to see him either, but he doesn’t seem to want to let me go.”

Mu Tingfeng was stunned. Then he sighed helplessly and hugged Zhao Youlin even tighter.

Zhao Youlin buried her head into Mu Tingfeng’s arms and rubbed against him. However, there was a rare look of panic on her face. “I don’t know why, but I always feel flustered. It’s as if something is going to happen, but I can’t predict what it is, and I can’t stop it. I have a terrible feeling.”

Mu Tingfeng was stunned. He comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t think too much. Maybe you’ve been too tired recently. You’ve just had a baby and you have to take care of the company. It’s inevitable that you’ll be a little busy. It’ll be fine after a while. When everything is on track, we’ll go around the world and finish what we agreed on.”

Zhao Youlin was a little tempted by Mu Tingfeng’s words, and her eyes couldn’t help but look forward to it.

The two of them hugged each other tightly, trying to draw some warmth from each other’s arms.

However, the uneasiness in Zhao Youlin’s heart didn’t disappear because of this. She only temporarily put it away, and it would gradually grow stronger and spread in the near future.

On the other side, Lu Sizheng also came down from the mountain and went straight back to the Lu family after Mu Tingfeng brought Zhao Youlin back. Speaking of which, it was too coincidental that Lu Sizheng had just returned to the Lu family when he ran into Lu Shu, however, Lu Shu was not in a good mood at the moment, and after seeing Lu Sizheng, her mood became even worse.

Lu Sizheng saw Lu Shu’s expression and his eyes flashed, but he already had a rough guess in his mind.

He raised his eyebrows, and the smile on Lu Sizheng’s face became even more profound. He stared thoughtfully behind Lu Shu, and after making sure that Li Yan had not come back with her… he smiled and said, “Sis, why do you have time to visit me and Dad at this time? Where’s brother-in-law? Why didn’t he come back with you?”

After Lu Shu and Li Yan got married, they moved out of the house and bought another house with Li Yan. Lu Xiangtian was actually disgruntled at the time. After all, Lu Shu was the daughter that he had finally found. If possible, he still wanted her to stay by his side for a few more years.

Unfortunately, after Li Yan found out about Lu Xiangtian’s identity, he refused to live under the same roof with him, no matter what. Lu Shu was afraid that she would push him too hard and he would run away again. Moreover, she also wanted to spend some time alone with him. In the end, she moved out of the Lu family. So what if she did?

The world that Lu Shu yearned for, for the two of them had become a cage where they treated each other as if they were guests. Although Li Yan still kept to himself and never flirted with other women, he never grew too close to her. There were even times when Li Yan would rather stay in the office all night than go home!

Lu Sizheng did not mention Li Yan, but the mention of Lu Shu made his face even uglier.
