Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

💜Chapter 241-250💜

Chapter 241 – A Close Call (1)

Mighty Secretary Xia who had been eavesdropping by the side could not bear to watch this anymore. He covered his face, and he thought to himself, 'President, you've caused a number of precedents which resulted in today's tragedy, do you know that? Although I knew your so-called mistress was somewhat deliberate, it looks like you could never escape from the former Mrs. President's gripe about this for the rest of your life. Amen!'

"The reason why I've been acting "cowardly" was because of my family's situation which I suppose you've by now known better than me, right, Mr. Qin? Living under such circumstances where my stepmother and stepsister are wicked women, while my biological father turned a blind eye to me, I have to pretend to look weak in order to survive. After I grew up, only then did I have the capability to fight back. Otherwise, I would have long died."

"But..." Qin Huai was about to speak, but Zhao Youlin did not give him a chance to do so.

"In fact, during the days I stayed in the Zhao family's house after my mother died, I had always looked forward to returning to that place to get back everything that belonged to me and avenge my mother. Therefore, I endured the humiliation. I pretended to look weak and pitiful on the surface in order to protect myself, while learning various self-defense skills from a great master discreetly, including the use of firearms and other weapons. I did these all because I wished to leave the Zhao family's home someday so that I no longer had to be at the mercy of anyone."

Zhao Youlin raised her chin smugly, trying her best to sound more credible, "In truth, it has been proven that my dormancy over the years is worthwhile. Now, I'm most likely the heir to take over my family's business among the descendants of the Zhao family. I'm the general manager of Zhao Enterprise, and am entitled to supreme power. I'm not under anyone's control nor threat. These are my answers to your question, Mr. Qin. Are you satisfied with them?"

Zhao Youlin's excuses were a little exaggerated. When she was in the Zhao family's home, it was already difficult for her to get out of that situation, let alone finding someone to teach her self-defense skills under Li Hongyu and her men's close watch.

However, things went like this in this world. Not everything you refused to believe was a lie, and not everything you believed in was the truth.

Qin Huai had demanded an explanation from her, and she did him the favor. Regardless of whether her explanation was real or fake, it was all up to him if he believed in her. After all, it had nothing to do with her.

"But, all this..." Qin Huai's eyes met with Zhao Youlin's eyes that were filled with resolution. A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"But what? Do you think I'm lying, or do you think none of these are true just because they don't exist in your findings?!"

Zhao Youlin was confronting him aggressively. Qin Huai could not help but retreat slightly even though he had been insistent on this, "I... I don't mean this."

"Oh?" Zhao Youlin cocked an eyebrow, "Mr. Qin, if that's not what you meant? What do you really mean, then? Mr. Qin, you keep relating me with the late Officer Zhao, is it because you think she resembles me, or do you think I am her?"

"I-I..."

"Mr. Qin...!" Zhao Youlin shouted, and she interrupted Qin Huai's explanation, "I don't care what's your relationship with Officer Zhao was, nor do I care about the reason that caused you to believe that I am related to her. I just want to let you know that, when a person dies, that's it. Stop having any unrealistic imaginations. I am who I am. I am not anyone else. Mr. Qin, I pray you will keep this in your mind. Since you want to be my friend, please don't repeat such stupid mistakes in the future. Otherwise, I don't mind losing a friend like you!"
