The fierce battle took place not more than ten minutes. Li Hongyu and Zhao Shuncheng stood aside and watched the fight. The bangs and thumps of the physical combat rang out loud. By the time they returned to their senses, the bodyguards were all on the ground. Meanwhile, the person whom they had boasted shamelessly to take her back, Zhao Youlin, gradually rose up right after swinging a fist at the bodyguard. She patted the dust off her hands.
“W-When did you…”
“When did I become so good at fighting, right?” Zhao Youlin quirked her eyebrow and confronted the stupefied couple with a smirk, “Shouldn’t you be asking yourself why don’t you even have any knowledge of your daughter fighting so well? How shameless of you to have even asked.”
“I-I…”
“What are you stuttering about?!” Zhao Shuncheng was interrupted by Zhao Youlin once again the moment he was about to defend himself, “Word of advice, if you never cared about me before this, don’t think of doing so now. It’s my business to divorce Mu Tingfeng, and you two are in no position to have any say in it!”
Zhao Shuncheng’s anger was about to burst out. However, when he saw the bodyguards lying on the ground, his expression changed and he was forced to hold back himself. His face turned white. He gritted his teeth and blurted out, “I’m your father.”
Zhao Youlin grinned as if she just heard the most hilarious joke on earth. She turned her head and faced Zhao Shuncheng. She said coldly, “I would rather not have a father who works with others to pick on his own daughter. I’m already a grown-up now. I was a married woman once, as well as a mother of a child. I’m no longer the innocent young lady you two could manipulate and toy with. Remember, stop oppressing me in the name of parenthood. Don’t take yourself over seriously. You two mean nothing to me. I’ll spare you this time round. But, should history repeat itself in the future, you won’t stand a chance at all.”
Right after Zhao Youlin spat out those harsh words, she turned around without any regrets and walked toward Joy who had been waiting for her. She scooped Joy up and headed toward the entrance of the neighborhood without even turning her head.
“Shuncheng, what should we do now?” Finally, there was a hint of anxiety shown on Li Hongyu’s expression as she watched Zhao Youlin enter the neighborhood.
She lived in a high-end neighborhood where only the residents were given special permission for entrance. The moment Zhao Youlin stepped into the area, they could not lay a finger on her anymore.
Zhao Shuncheng’s face was black. All his life, he had never been put to shame like today. His own daughter had insulted him before the public in front of the neighborhood entrance. More so, he had even been told that he would be given no mercy should he appear before her sight again in the future. Those words were truly a slap in his face.
Zhao Shuncheng was in low spirits. Even Li Hongyu was displeased at his sight. The moment he heard her words, he growled, “What else could be done?! Let’s go home now. Haven’t we had enough shame?!”
Li Hongyu’s face turned white as soon as he barked at her. By the time she returned to her senses, Zhao Shuncheng was already inside the car. She could not care less about others, so she hurriedly got in the car.
Everyone left in a haste, including Zhao Youlin whose mood had been ruined and had turned into frustration. She carried Joy and returned home in a hurry. Unbeknownst to all of them, a young man on a certain floor who stayed in the same building as Zhao Youlin had been watching them from some distance away. He was standing by the window, swirling a glass of red wine and watching the good show in glee. After that, he sipped a mouthful of red wine and stared at Zhao Youlin and her son as they approached closer. He mumbled to himself, “The former Madam Mu from the Mu family, huh? Interesting…”
