Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

“A surprise?” The former master cocked one of his eyebrows. Zhao Youlin’s words seemed to have piqued his interest.

However, at that time, Zhao Youlin did not intend to explain so much to him. Regardless of whether there was a surprise for them, they naturally would know by the time Han Yichen returned. Now, she was only making the speculation on her own.

The former master clearly had thought of this. As such, he did not explain much on that issue. He repeatedly instructed Zhao Youlin, “Youlin, when my eldest grandson comes back, you must inform me first.”

“I got it, I got it.” Zhao Youlin also knew how desperate the former master wanted to see Han Yichen now. She responded to him patiently, “But, don’t let my parents know about him first. It’s not too late to inform them about him when he comes back so that they don’t have to worry about him during this period of time.”

The former master nodded his head. He also knew that he was already getting too excited for his old heart. If the two were to learn about him at this moment, they would be worrying about this matter for the remaining half of the month and be suffering for nothing.

The former master was relieved after he was given assurance that his newly found grandson would appear after half of a month. By then, he would meet up with him. Just then, he began to wonder about his granddaughter-in-law whom Zhao Youlin had mentioned.

“Youlin, regarding the girl that you mentioned just now, what does she look like? How is her family’s background? Are there any other relatives in her family? Urm… Fine, all these are the least important. What matters most is, how is her character?”

The former master’s series of questions were too much for Zhao Youlin. She shouted at him, “Grandpa, enough! Are you conducting a survey about her family members? You’ve even asking about the girl’s character! Do you think I would pick someone with a poor character and let her work in my outlet? Don’t get so worried about this. Or, do you plan to sneak over and take a look at your so-called granddaughter-in-law to be, and if she’s not to your liking, are you going to kick her out and find another one who is of similar status to my elder brother?”

Upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s words, the former master denied her. “My dear eldest granddaughter, how could you say that? Do I look so rigid in your heart?”

“Maybe.”

The former master was choked and rendered speechless. He was instantly pissed off. How could this child be so disrespectful of him?! Did she plan to piss him off to death?!

Zhao Youlin simply did not bother to acknowledge the former master’s glare. She crossed her arms and snorted smugly, “Grandpa, let me tell you this first, even though Xiao Yue is an orphan without any dependent, is not from a privileged background nor is filthy rich herself, you have to count your eldest son, whom you have not been able to get back yet, on her. If you go there and scare her off, by the time my elder brother gets back and can’t find his loved one, out of rage, he might not even want to take you all up as his family members, much less target a new wife for him.”

The former master’s face turned ghastly pale. He widened his eyes, gritted his teeth and stared at Zhao Youlin. After some time, he said in an aggrieved manner like an inflated balloon, “I was just worried that my eldest grandson, whom I have not been able to get back yet, would be reeled in by some ill-intentioned people.”

Upon hearing the former master’s words, Zhao Youlin quirked one of her eyebrows. “Ill-intentioned people?”

When Zhao Youlin cast a glance at him, he looked even more discouraged. “Fine, I feel a little resigned about the fact that my eldest grandson, whom I have not been getting close with, would belong to another family very soon.”

“Belong to another family?” The corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips unwittingly twitched. “What do you mean by belonging to another family? Even if Elder Brother were to be together with An Yue, she would be married into our family and be your granddaughter-in-law, why would he become someone else’s instead?”

The former master’s expression turned stiff. He was enlightened and said, “That seems to be the case.”

‘Grandpa, were you thinking of marrying your granddaughter off?!’

Zhao Youlin felt an incredible headache and held her forehead. She said in resignation, “No matter how, if you want to get back your grandson soon, you should not be so nosey and butt in their business.”

The former master was stunned. The next moment, he grinned as he said, “Youlin, how about you take those girls from your outlet to our home and be our guests one day? I’ve always heard from Joy mentioning the good skills of the girls in your outlet. I have long wanted to see what the girls that Joy talked about would look like. So, this would be a good opportunity to take a look at them. Of course, it would be good if they could bring along some things they make with them.”

Zhao Youlin raised one of her eyebrows and smirked, “Grandpa, I’m afraid that seeing the girls whom Joy has talked about are all lies. In fact, you only want to see your future granddaughter-in-law, right?”

Since the former master’s plan was exposed, he might as well reveal his true intentions, “I’m just curious. If you are so reluctant to bring her to me, I’ll go to your outlet and take a look by myself.”

“No way!” Before the former master finished speaking, Zhao Youlin had already denied his intention with unparalleled determination.

The former master’s eyes were wide open. “Why not?”

“You would scare them.” Zhao Youlin said the words with absolute certainty.

Zhao Youlin had never told the staff in her outlet about her true identity. Even today, the staff had always thought she was only an ordinary citizen in the city.

If the former master were to go there, he would definitely put on a show and make a scene. By that time, would her identity not be exposed?

Even though the Zhao family was not as well-known as the four greatest families and the Mu family in Shalnork, they were at least ranked as one of the great families in the business arena in Shalnork as well as Zelford.

Although such glory was enviable by most people, it served as a superfluous burden to An Yue and her elder sister, especially to An Yue.

Zhao Youlin was truly worried that the former master would scare the young lady off. After all, An Yue was not only timid, but she also had a… low self-esteem.

“No matter how, I wouldn’t allow you to simply look for her in my outlet, Grandpa. Otherwise, I would find ways to hide them so that you couldn’t find them. I would not only hide your granddaughter-in-law, but also your incoming eldest grandson!”

Zhao Youlin’s words were no different from threatening remarks. The former master’s expression immediately darkened. He glared at her. Those ancient eyes — which had become that way because he had gained rich experience in his life were filled with unhappiness and sulkiness.

If the others saw him in his current state, they would have been so intimidated that they dared not look up at him. However, Zhao Youlin returned his glare fearlessly. She did not intend to compromise herself in this matter.

The atmosphere was filled with hostility as the grandfather and grandchild fought with each other by locking gazes. None of them was willing to back down.

After some time, in the end, the former master was the first one who shifted his gaze. He sneered.

The corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips slightly curled upward. She comforted a certain elder, who started to get upset, calmly, “Grandpa, why do you have to be like this? You haven’t even got back your grandson, why do you have to be so anxious to meet your future granddaughter-in-law? If you want to see her, you should let Elder Brother personally bring her back to you all in the future. If you go and meet your future granddaughter-in-law all of a sudden and in such a hurry, the outsiders would certainly burst into laughter, thinking that you are worried about your grandson not getting a wife!”
