Chapter 75: We’ve Got News (2)
Li Hongyu screamed in shock. She walked forward, pulled Zhao Youxi over, and nervously asked, “What did you say? She nearly killed you?”
Zhao Youxi firmly nodded. She reached out to point at the wound that was scratched by the sharp edge of the hairpin on her neck and showed it to Li Hongyu. She loudly complained, “She even threatened to scratch my face and make me unable to appear in front of anyone.”
“Oh my goodness!” Li Hongyu was shocked by the wound on Zhao Youxi’s neck.
She usually pampered her children very much, and she would not let them get injured at all. When she saw that Zhao Youxi was injured at this time, her usual elegance had completely faded away.
“Where’s the first-aid box? Where is it? I remember there’s a first-aid box in your room.”
Li Hongyu turned around and walked toward the book cabinet in Zhao Youxi’s room. She took out a first-aid box from the drawer and personally dressed Zhao Youxi’s wounds. She did that while she cursed in a low voice, “How dare that w*nch do this… How dare she do this to you…”
When Zhao Youxi saw Li Hongyu looking so angry, she became slightly quiet. She reached out to hold Li Hongyu’s hand, which was occupied with the dressing, and acted cute as she said, “Mom, we can’t just spare her like this. She stayed in the Mu family for some time, but she dares to do this to us now that she’s left them. Who would have known that she would come back to the Zhao family and compete with us to exact revenge on us.”
Li Hongyu’s expression changed a little. Clearly, Zhao Youxi’s description was what she had been worried about.
Li Hongyu gently sighed before she patted Zhao Youxi’s hand and comforted, “I’ll help you to regain your honor. I’ll tell your father about this later. If your father asks you about it, just say that you coincidentally met the witch. You kindly advised her to come home, but she was so ungrateful. She didn’t want to come back but wanted to injure you. Do you understand?”
Zhao Youxi was also not silly. She naturally knew what she should say to make her actions look reasonable. She nodded and said, “I understand.”
“I’ll just say it one more time. Don’t go looking for that w*nch again. She was kicked out of the family, so she has nothing except her son now. She doesn’t have the status and reputation like us. People always say that rich people don’t compete with the poor.”
Li Hongyu sincerely said, “She’s mad, but we can’t go crazy along with her. If not because of her little share, I wouldn’t want to see her face ever again.”
Zhao Youxi arrogantly snorted before she nodded. “I got it.”
When Li Hongyu saw that Zhao Youxi was listening to her, she sighed in relief. She gradually wore a gentle and indifferent smile on her face, and she started to tell Zhao Youxi about something serious.
“Don’t bother with the witch for now. There’s something more important that requires your attention first.”
Zhao Youxi suddenly raised her head, and she felt puzzled as she asked, “What is it?”
“Have you forgotten?” There was a glint in Li Hongyu’s eyes, and she said, “Your grandfather’s seventieth birthday is coming up.”
Zhao Youxi’s pupils instantly shrank. Her grandfather’s seventieth birthday was coming up? Did it mean that her grandfather, who was the real person in-charge of the Zhao family, also known as the dignified old man, was coming back?
Compared with the chaotic situation in the Zhao family, there was no action on Zhao Youlin’s side. The interlude caused by Zhao Youxi did not affect them at all.
Zhao Youlin fed Joy some food before they sat together and watched the television for a while. As soon as she coaxed Joy to sleep, she received a call that she had been waiting for a long time.
“Are you Ms. Zhao?” A polite male voice came from the other end of the line.
“Yes, I am.”
“We’ve got news on the thing you asked us to look into last time.”
Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows, and her black eyes shone.
