Chapter 37: The Storm Begins (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Hongyu was shocked by her husband’s rarely seen outburst of anger. She locked gazes with her daughter. Then, she voiced out, “Divorce? Who’s divorced?”
“Who else can it be? It’s Youlin, that brat! She a-actually sneakily divorced Young Master Mu. They are divorced!” After Zhao Shuncheng finished roaring, he still had much pent up rage to vent. So, he grabbed a wine glass next to him and threw it a short distance away.
A clattering sound was heard. That wine glass was completely shattered under the feet of Li Hongyu. This frightened the mother and daughter into retreating two steps back. Their expressions looked troubled. However, soon they recovered to their usual selves. In fact, compared to Zhao Shuncheng’s frustration, there was an obvious hint of relief across their eyes.
“Divorce? Youlin that brat has divorced? When did it happen?” Li Hongyu had been staying in the Zhao family for many years. Naturally, she would not show that gleefulness on her face. Very quickly, she changed her face and asked in surprise.
“When else could it be? It’s this morning!” Zhao Shuncheng’s face turned dark. He was boiling with fury. “Didn’t that brat used to fall head over heels with Young Master Mu? They even had a child of their own. How could she break it off just like that?! Moreover, she didn’t bother to discuss it with us. She must have thought she’s already full-fledged and simply ignore her own family!”
Zhao Shuncheng had his own reason for getting that angry. Despite being a member of the Zhao family, he had been placed in an awkward position in the family. He had an extraordinary outstanding brother overpowering him who constantly made him look incompetent and incapable. He also had a younger brother with a pleasing character who easily won the hearts of the elders.

On the contrary, he was the second child in the family. Therefore, his position was rather awkward and he was regarded as a useless man in the eyes of the elders. He merely existed in name for the position in his own company. He received the paycheck but did nothing, nor had any authority in his hand. Despite being carefree and idle, he was completely an outsider to his company’s most private and confidential information.
As such, Zhao Shuncheng earned some dignity when Zhao Youlin married into the Mu family. As long as her daughter remained Madam Mu in the Mu family, he did not mind it despite the fact that her daughter claiming the position in a disgraceful manner while being laughed at by others behind his back. What did they matter when all he cared about was the benefits gained as a result of it?
It was not the first time Mu Tingfeng had wanted to divorce Zhao Youlin over the years. Initially, he got nervous about it. However, he was relieved when her daughter had sworn to never give her words about their divorce. As long as Zhao Youlin was not divorced, he could maintain his position and even progress gradually in the Zhao family.
Therefore, he did not really pay much attention even when he heard that her daughter had fought with his son-in-law again, and this time to the point of slitting her wrist. He thought both of them would weather the storm as always. Her daughter would still bear her so-called title and status in the Mu family.

But, he had never expected Zhao Youlin to abruptly agree to Mu Tingfeng’s divorce. There had been no warning signs. She discussed nothing with him beforehand and simply divorced Mu Tingfeng quietly. He was caught off guard and thus, he did not even have a chance to salvage the situation.

“Shuncheng, don’t be mad. What happens if you hurt yourself? Youlin has been a good girl all the while. She must have her own reasons and plans for doing this.” Li Hongyu seized the chance and walked close to Zhao Shuncheng. She patted his back to ease his anger and pretentiously sided her so-called eldest daughter.
“Plans? What could she have planned? I think she simply plans to push me over the edge!” Zhao Shuncheng got angrier as he thought of this. Then, he simply smashed more stuff and roared, “Do you know what she has done?! If she insists on a divorce, she could have divorced in peace. Things would not have gone far worse than this had she not offended Young Master Mu. How dare she actually humiliate him in public! Is she… Is she deliberately doing this so that the Mu family will be resentful of our family?”
The moment Zhao Shuncheng spoke this, apart from himself, even Li Hongyu and her daughter’s expressions unwittingly changed.
