Zhao Youlin stopped feigning ignorance since the truth had come out, anyway. She truthfully explained to the two of them what happened in the shop that day and what Mu Tingfeng had said to her after that.

Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong looked at each other a few more times. In the end, they could not hold back and asked softly, "Youlin, in your opinion, what is President Mu trying to do? He made a fuss to divorce you back then, but now, why would he…?"

Someone was pursuing his single daughter, and this person was a rich bachelor. If it happened to a normal family, they would only be happy.

However, this was happening to Zhao Youlin, so Duan Yarong only wanted to avoid it. This showed how serious Mu Tingfeng's previous actions were.

Zhao Youlin touched her forehead impatiently. "Who knows what is in his mind? He keeps changing, and it's annoying. Anyway, I don't plan to play along with him anymore. As long as he doesn't simply cross my boundaries, he can do whatever he wants."

After returning home with Joy that day, Zhao Youlin stopped thinking about Mu Tingfeng's unusual behavior.

After thinking about it, she felt that Mu Tingfeng could not have done it because of her. She was not so narcissistic to believe that her charm had suddenly increased, and the man who had abandoned her before was attracted to her again. The only possible reason was that it was because of Joy.

Just like what she had said that day, Mu Tingfeng suddenly realized the importance of an heir and wanted to take Joy back again.

But Zhao Youlin clearly remembered that Mu Tingfeng's mistress was pregnant as well back then. If that was the case, why would he bother to snatch Joy away from her?

Zhao Youlin recalled the scene when she saw Su Qing in the hospital back then. At that time, Su Qing seemed to be three or four months pregnant. She should be five or six months pregnant now, so she was going to give birth in a few months.

If Mu Tingfeng gave up Joy, an heir, this easily, because Su Qing was already pregnant with his child, then the only reason why he would came back to snatch Joy away from her at this time…

Was it possible that something happened to Su Qing's child? Mu Tingfeng had no other choice, so he could only go for the second option and came back to snatch her only child from her.

Such a good thing did not exist! Back then, he had promised to give up Joy's custody on his own, and they signed the agreement. It was impossible for him to get Joy back just because he wanted to do so.

Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong seemed to have the same thoughts as Zhao Youlin. Zhao Shunrong thought for a moment, and he finally said, "Since you don't want to, you should reject him then. Love can't be forced. You guys already had a failed marriage, so don't repeat the same mistake."

Zhao Youlin knew that Zhao Shunrong was indirectly telling her that he was giving her the right to reject Mu Tingfeng.

Even if the Zhao family was not as powerful as the Mu family now, they had not fallen to the point where they would make his daughter compromise on matters such as marriage.

Zhao Youlin smiled. "Well, I get it. Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'm no longer the hopelessly naive silly girl from back then. I won't let myself be bullied."

Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong nodded and let the topic rest.

In this way, after the poor President Mu was disliked by his son, he was disliked by his future father-in-law and mother-in-law as well. This made him face a nigh insurmountable wall when he tried to peck at Zhao Youlin in the future.

The hardest thing was that he still did not know anything. He was happily doing an extremely strange thing in his office.

"P-President…" A girl's sobbing voice was quivering. It echoed in the spacious office, giving a hint of a seductive feeling.

The department chief of Mu Feng Group's planning department was about to cry. After she handed over the proposal to the president, he raised his head.

He was expressionless, and he stared at her motionlessly for ten minutes. Ten minutes… It had been ten minutes, okay?

When the president first stared at her with his extremely handsome face, the department chief could not help but feel attracted for a while.

But after a long time, that was not the case at all. The cold eyes looked as if they would pierce a person. It was extremely scary.

In the ten minutes of being stared at by Mu Tingfeng, the department chief felt as if a century had passed. She was just being tortured.

After being stared at by Mu Tingfeng's cold gaze for ten minutes, the department chief finally accepted her defeat. She called him with a quivering voice.

"P-President…" 'I know that my proposal is not good enough. I'm sorry to the country, people, company, and most importantly, you.

'My existence itself is unpardonable, so please tell me straight. Do I need to do it again or change the majority of it? Please tell me what I should do. Don't give me mental pressure. I can't handle it. Sob…'

The department chief was already crying in her mind. She secretly made up her mind that she should not offend the president no matter what. She was already scared to hell when he stared at her quietly with those eyes.

However, Mu Tingfeng did not know what was in her mind. He frowned as he was obviously not satisfied with the reaction of the department chief. His cold face instantly darkened. He threw the proposal to the front and said coldly, "The proposal is excellent. Tell the subordinates follow it by the letter. You can leave now."

The poor department chief trembled after she was treated coldly by Mu Tingfeng.

She was speechless, especially when she heard Mu Tingfeng's words. 'If I did a good job, why did you bully me? Did I accidentally offend you recently?'

Anyway, Mu Tingfeng finally let the department chief go, so she let out a sigh of relief. She quickly picked the proposal up and gave him a bow. Then, she rushed out.

After leaving the office, the department chief was finally relieved. She felt that she almost died, and she was finally alive again.

"Yan Wen, why did it take you so long to come out? Were you scolded?" Xia Zhetao heard some sounds. He raised his head and saw her relaxed and relieved face, so he asked with concern.

"No, it was more terrifying than being scolded." Yan Wen, the department chief who had just survived a catastrophe, quickly walked to Xia Zhetao.

She looked around and made sure that there were no other people. Then, she crouched down and complained, "I don't know what happened to the president today. After he read the proposal, he kept staring at me without saying anything. It was terrifying, and I was scared."
