Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

106-110

Chapter 106: Before the Banquet Starts (1)
Duan Yarong drew in a deep breath and tried to control her emotions. Then, she continued, “Youxi has been ignorant as well. She has been led astray by her mother. As a lady, she should have known how to restrain herself. Even though both of you are stepsisters, she should not rule over you given the fact that you’re her elder sister. How can she be so disrespectful? She’s truly a…”

Duan Yarong and Li Hongyu were different. Duan Yarong came from a prestigious background. She was an educated fine lady from a great family. She spoke modestly even though she was in a fit of rage.

Even so, Zhao Youlin unwittingly felt touched.

Zhao Youlin did not have any blood relationship with Duan Yarong. Yet, Duan Yarong knew that she would have sided with Zhao Youlin after her divorce especially since Zhao Youlin had not done anything wrong at all.

On the other hand, all Zhao Youlin’s so-called father did was to try staying out of trouble. How funny that he even brought along his wife and did not raise a single finger to stop his daughter from exploiting Zhao Youlin.

“Eldest aunt, don’t be angry. It’s not worth straining yourself because of them. I’m doing fine now. I live better with Joy after staying far away from them.”

Duan Yarong calmed down. She nodded and said, “You’re a single mother now. So, you have to be more vigilant when staying outside.”

Zhao Youlin’s heart clenched when she heard this. She asked tentatively, “Actually, Grandpa wanted Joy and me to return to the main residence.”

“Return to the main residence?’ Duan Yarong was a little startled when she heard Zhao Youlin’s words.

The Zhao family had many members. The former master had three sons. His eldest son was childless and stayed with him in the main residence while his second son, Zhao Shuncheng, and his third son, Zhao Shunchang had long moved out.

No matter how much the former master had adored his grandchildren, they were never allowed to stay overnight in the main residence, much less moved in the house for a permanent stay.

Duan Yarong thought about it for a long time and still did not know why the former master had said so. She raised her head and cast a glance at Zhao Youlin. She asked questionably, “What do you mean?”

“Grandpa asked me to think about it for a few days. So, I would like to seek your opinion.” Zhao Youlin looked at Duan Yarong without exposing the hint of wariness in her eyes.

Duan Yarong was deep in thought for a brief moment before she said, “In the end, it all comes back to you. You’ll enjoy more freedom if you stay outside. But, there are only the two of you out there without a man to take charge of the house. You’ll face some challenges in case you fall sick. If you move over here, there are more people around and I could also help you to take care of Joy.”

Duan Yarong paused for a moment before she continued, “However, chances are more people means more gossip. If you find no peace staying in the main residence, I don’t mind coming over to your side to help you out.”

Zhao Youlin smiled faintly and nodded after hearing her words. She was happy that Duan Yarong was actually so thoughtful of her and took her thoughts into consideration. She showed a more sincere smile.

As they were chatting, suddenly, they heard the sound of a click. The tightly closed door was opened and came in a sturdy man.

The man froze right after he opened the door and was greeted by the sight of Zhao Youlin and her son. The man’s expression was as cold as Mu Tingfeng’s. The only difference was that he did not seem as surprised.
