Those words were truly displeasing to the ears. Even though Ye Yan had always greeted people with a smile and was a wolf in sheep’s clothing who never wore his emotions on his sleeves, he could not help but frown. His gaze turned cold.
Zhao Youlin’s eyes fluttered upon hearing the voice. She turned her head around to look in the direction where the voice came from, only to be greeted by a young lady who was a year younger than her, approaching them from not too far away.
The young lady had a light pink gorgeous mini dress on. She looked quite lovely and innocent.
However, no matter how she dressed up, her appearance failed to cover up her overbearing aura as well as the rude and harsh words from her lips. It was truly difficult for someone to develop a good impression of her. This was especially after noticing the big-sized and tall bodyguards following behind her.
Zhao Youlin was deep in thought for a moment. Soon, she recalled that the young lady was actually her stepmother’s eldest daughter, and she was only one year younger than her. She was notoriously known for being a promiscuous lady. She was Zhao Youxi.

The moment Zhao Youlin identified her, a sense of mockery instantly gushed out of her heart. ‘The old man could not handle the matter himself, so he asks the young one to make up the number, huh?!
‘How headstrong this family is. They don’t plan to spare me easily…
‘Anyway, this is great. I haven’t reached the level to settle the accounts with them on my own, but they already can’t wait to offer themselves to me. Isn’t it unforgivable if I don’t return some favor to them?’
“Mister Ye…”
“Mhm?” Zhao Youlin’s abrupt call out shocked Ye Yan. He gave a questioning glance at her.
Zhao Youlin smiled faintly. She shoved Joy to Ye Yan’s side and said, “Help me to take care of Joy. It’ll only take a while.”
Ye Yan froze. Then, he returned to his senses very soon. He smiled gently and said, “Alright, don’t worry. Leave Joy to me.”
Zhao Youlin’s eyes darkened. She did not delve into the ambiguity of her words considering that Zhao Youxi was still behind them.
Zhao Youxi noticed that Zhao Youlin was not behaving like she usually did. Back then, Zhao Youlin was submissive and obsequiously greeted her whenever she saw her. Instead, now, she just turned her body around and whispered and flirted with another good-looking man. Zhao Youxi immediately burst in anger the moment she saw Zhao Youlin ignoring her.
She was especially furious and nearly twisted her face the moment she saw Joy who looked identical to Mu Tingfeng. She sounded increasingly sarcastic with malicious intentions laced in nice words, “I heard that you’ve played various types of tricks and even become a laughing stock over the years just to capture President Mu’s attention. I thought you must have fallen head over heels with him. Never did I expect that as soon as you two were divorced, you immediately found a stepfather for this rascal.”
Right after she spoke, she targeted Joy not far away from her. Joy retreated to Ye Yan’s side.
“I wonder what’s going on with men nowadays. They actually don’t mind hooking up with single mothers. I wonder if they’ve been spellbound, blinded, or simply lack taste.”
The moment Zhao Youxi spat out the words, the aura surrounding Ye Yan instantly turned chill. The glance shot at Zhao Youxi changed from initial displeasure to disgust and contempt.
It looked like the daughter of the second wife of the Zhao family was truly poorly educated. She actually dared to speak like that to her sister on the street with many people around. Imagine how overbearing the second lady usually was.
As Ye Yan thought about it, he could not help but turn his head around and shot a glance at Zhao Youlin. He sighed to him and wondered why the difference between the two was so huge, even though they shared the same father.
Zhao Youlin crossed her arms, stood silently, and watched Zhao Youxi cussing like a madwoman. After Zhao Youxi had her fun yelling at her, Zhao Youlin blurted out, “I might be at fault for looking up to another man after getting divorced. But, I’m at least way better than someone who hooks up with several men at the same time. She appears to be well-regarded, pure and innocent on the surface but sleeps with numerous men behind closed doors. She has long become a wench regarded with scorn by others.”
