Chapter 296: Best Friend Becomes a Mistress (3)

After a muffled bang, the door was closed tightly. Zhao Youxi knelt on the floor and pounded on the door with all her strength. It created noises, and she hoped that the people inside would open the door.

Unfortunately, even after she pounded on the door until her hands were red and shouted until her voice became hoarse, she could not make the people in the room come out to meet her again.

Zhao Youxi fell to the floor feebly. The marble floor under her was icy cold, but it was not as cold as the disappointment in her heart at this moment.

Her face was extremely numb. After a long time, she staggered to get up from the floor. She held onto the wall and walked out step by step.

The pounding just now seemed to have drawn out all of Zhao Youxi’s strength. After walking a few steps and bypassing a corridor, she sat on the floor again when she made sure that she would not see the door that took away her last hope.

The tears that Zhao Youxi had been holding back for a long time finally spilled out at this moment. She covered her mouth and sat in the corner silently. She cried for a long time, and it lasted until her phone rang…

The sudden ringing of the phone made Zhao Youxi’s whole body stiffen. After seeing the caller on her phone’s screen, she hurriedly stopped crying and simply wiped away her tears. Then, she answered the call.

“Youxi, where are you now? Did you see Dad?” Zhao Youming’s voice came from the phone with just the right degree of anxiety and worry.

“Youming…” When Zhao Youxi heard her brother’s voice, the tears that she tried her best to hold back were about to fall down again.

Zhao Youming, who was on the other end of the phone, paused for a moment, as if he had discovered something. “Youxi, your voice… Did something happen?”

Zhao Youxi sniffed, and she reached out her hand to cover her mouth. She tried her best to sound calm and said, “N-Nothing, I didn’t manage to find Dad. He may be out to do something, so he is not in the company. I want to go home first. If there’s something, let’s talk when Dad is back at home.”

Zhao Youming remained silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds again. Just when Zhao Youxi thought that she had accidentally given it away, she suddenly heard Zhao Youming replied, “Okay, then you come back first, Youxi. I’ll wait for you at home.”

Zhao Youxi heaved a sigh of relief. “Okay.”

After crying and speaking with Zhao Youming, Zhao Youxi’s mood got better. After hanging up the phone, she climbed to her feet and walked out step by step while holding on to the wall.

She did not want to come to this place again in her whole life. As for the two people in the house, one day, she would make them pay for what they did today.

On the other side, Zhao Youming breathed out after he hung up the phone. His face was extremely calm. The anxiousness and worry he had when he was talking on the phone with Zhao Youxi just now could not be seen at all.

“It seems like she did not succeed when she called for help,” Zhao Youming muttered. The expression on his face remained the same, but his words had a hint of sadness and realization.

He seemed to have predicted that Zhao Youxi would not get a good result when she went to ask Zhao Shuncheng for help.

The young man had just returned from abroad, and he had yet to get rid of all the luxurious items on his person. He sat in front of the French window alone. He could not help but think of the things he had learned from the butler not long ago. His almond eyes, which he had inherited from Li Hongyu, narrowed slightly, making people unable to see what he was thinking at the moment.

Right after Li Hongyu was taken away, Xiao Jingyao received the news. However, there was another news that was even more shocking that came along with this news.

When Xiao Jingyao rushed into Zhao Shunrong’s office, Zhao Youlin had just finished reporting to Zhao Shunrong the report of the previous quarter, and he happened to run into Duan Yarong in Zhao Shunrong’s office.

The family of three naturally sat down together to have afternoon tea.

Xiao Jingyao’s sudden intrusion broke the tranquility and leisure among the group, and the attention of the three of them was instantly focused on him.

“Uncle Xiao, what’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?” Zhao Youlin was still holding a teacup when she saw Xiao Jingyao rushing in so anxiously, so she frowned and asked while feeling a little worried.

Xiao Jingyao did not expect that Zhao Youlin and Duan Yarong were present as well. He opened his mouth, but he was a little hesitant.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to his gaze on Zhao Shunrong for help.

When Zhao Shunrong saw his reaction, he knew that what he was going to talk about was related to recent affairs. He glanced at the two people sitting opposite him and said, “You guys just finished eating. Do you want to go out for a walk?”

How could Duan Yarong not understand the meaning of Zhao Shunrong’s words? She frowned slightly and disagreed with his suggestion. “Is there anything you guys can’t say in front of us? Do you even have to do it behind our backs? Could it be that you did something shameful without us knowing it?”

“Mom…” As soon as Duan Yarong said this, the two men did not speak, but Zhao Youlin did not know whether she should cry or smile. “Do you think Uncle Xiao and Dad are the sort of people who do things behind our backs? Since they don’t want us to know about it, they must have their own reasons. Why don’t we…”

Duan Yarong did not let Zhao Youlin talk her into it. She raised her head and stared at Zhao Shunrong.

Zhao Shunrong looked at Duan Yarong’s eyes and was quickly defeated by her. He raised his head and beckoned Xiao Jingyao over. Then, he said, “It’s okay, they would have to be exposed to this sooner or later. You can say it.”

Xiao Jingyao nodded. He walked up to them and said meticulously, “Just now, there was news that the police had arrested Ms. Li Hongyu at the villa for hiring people to kill someone.”

The short sentence stunned the two women in the office at the same time.

Zhao Youlin was shocked for a moment. A hint of realization slowly appeared in her eyes. It was really her!

Duan Yarong was a little surprised. “The police have arrested Li Hongyu? Why did they arrest her? Did she hire someone to kill people? Kill who…?”

As Duan Yarong was speaking, she suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something. She turned her head and asked Xiao Jingyao, “Could it be…?”

Xiao Jingyao pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He did not deny it.

Duan Yarong immediately stood up from the couch. “It’s her. It’s actually her! How can this woman be so vicious? Youlin was bullied by her in various ways when she was still in their home. Now, she has moved out of their home and cut off ties with them. How can she be like this?”

When Zhao Youlin saw Duan Yarong’s reaction, she hurriedly got up and held Duan Yarong’s arm to soothe her. She said, “Mom, don’t get angry. It is not worth being angry because of that kind of person. I’m well right now. Come, let’s sit down.”

After Zhao Youlin comforted her for a long time, Duan Yarong finally sat down angrily. When she calmed down, she directed her anger at the two men on the opposite side. “You two, how could you not tell us such an important thing? If I didn’t insist on staying here just now, you even wanted to hide it from us.”
