“Youlin!” Duan Yarong was caught by surprise upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s remark. Therefore, she shouted at her without giving a second thought.

However, Zhao Youlin smiled at her to comfort her. She signaled to Duan Yarong not to interfere and let her handle it on her own.

Duan Yarong was worried. However, upon watching Zhao Youlin’s response, she kept quiet and did not say anything.

When Zhao Youlin saw this, she heaved a sigh of relief. The next moment, she shifted her gaze to Zhao Shunrong.

Zhao Shunrong stared at Zhao Youlin coolly and lightly nodded. His two small gestures had given Zhao Youlin tremendous trust and encouragement.

Zhao Youlin smiled. She moved her gaze away from them and paid attention to handling the person in front of her.

Zhao Shuncheng had thought that Zhao Youlin would not show respect for him and that his plan to get her engagement gifts was about to fail.

Just when he was in the middle of anger, he heard Zhao Youlin’s words. He was stunned for some time before he snapped out of his daze.

After seeing that Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong did not object to her after she finished the words, Zhao Shuncheng became hopeful once again. He gulped with some difficulty before he asked warily, “Is it true?”

“Of course it’s true.” Zhao Youlin looked at Zhao Shuncheng coldly, as if looking at an ugly, trembling dog that could not hide its greed. “But…”

“But what?” The look of happiness on Zhao Shuncheng’s face faded and turned grave. This was his first time to find transitive words so annoying.

Zhao Youlin’s eyes flashed. She took the initiative and walked forward to Zhao Shuncheng. She stood still and said, “However, Uncle, if you want the engagement gifts from the Mu family, it should be a two-way street. Don’t you think you should pay for my engagement gifts as well?”

“Engagement gifts?” Zhao Shuncheng was stunned. His eyes were wide open as he stared incredulously at Zhao Youlin. His eyes were filled with panic and avoidance.

How could he forget that besides receiving engagement gifts from the bridegroom, the bride also had to come out with a significant amount of engagement gifts as well?!

When Zhao Youlin saw Zhao Shuncheng’s contorted expression, she immediately came to understand that this man had not thought of this before.

Thinking of this, the hint of mockery in Zhao Youlin’s eyes intensified. How could there be such a free lunch on Earth?

“That’s right. Uncle, you have to come out with my engagement gifts. You just said that you are sorry for me and want to make up for me and treat me well. If so, how could you forget such an important matter? How could I marry without engagement gifts? After I tie the knot, how would they treat me? Haven’t you thought about all this, huh?”

Upon facing Zhao Youlin’s aggressive remark, Zhao Shuncheng gulped. It took him some time before he said dryly, “Your engagement gifts… Of course… I’ll prepare for you.”

“Oh, really?” Zhao Youlin raised one of her eyebrows nonchalantly before she said with a smile, “Uncle, my parents have prepared ten percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares as my engagement gifts. Since you want to mend ties with me, I suppose you wouldn’t prepare less than that, right? Are you able to come up with that amount?”

“Ten percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares?!” Zhao Shuncheng cried out in shock. He looked shocked as he stared at Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong. He had never thought that the couple was willing to fork out so much for Zhao Youlin.

He only had five percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares on hand. However, Zhao Youlin’s engagement gifts were double that!

Little did Zhao Shunrong know that five out of ten percent of the shares were given to Zhao Youlin by her mother. She had taken the five percent shares with her when she was married to the Mu family. After she was divorced from Mu Tingfeng, she returned the shares to the Zhao family.

The remaining five percent was added on from Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong.

This time, the Mu family had given a handsome sum of engagement gifts to the Zhao family. Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong thought that Zhao Youlin’s engagement gifts should not be too little as well. Otherwise, this would leave a poor impression on the Mu family once she was married to Mu Tingfeng. She might even have to suffer in their hands again by then. Therefore, they strove to add various gifts to the foundation and five percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares were one of them.

Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong had the same thought on this matter. Now they have a son and a daughter. Their son was capable of marrying his wife on his own and there was no need for their help. Therefore, the couple was left with Zhao Youlin. If they did not plan well for her, they might not have the chance to do so again in the future.

Zhao Shuncheng was shocked upon receiving the piece of news from Zhao Youlin. Seeing this, Zhao Youlin knew that she had achieved her purpose. She added fuel to fire by saying, “That’s right. Ten percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares. Besides, there are many other expensive gifts as well. However, I don’t want to mention them since those are too complicated for you. Let’s just focus on ten percent of the shares. Uncle, I don’t intend to put you in a difficult position. However, my parents have been with me only a year and yet they are willing to fork out so many engagement gifts for me. Like what you mentioned earlier, we were father-daughter for many years in the past, since my parents are able to come out with ten percent of shares, I suppose you should at least come out with five percent of the shares, right? If you are able to fork out five percent of shares, I could give you the Mu family’s engagement gifts. However, if you couldn’t come out with that amount, I’m afraid I can’t do anything as well.”

Zhao Shuncheng was rendered speechless, and he nearly wanted to faint upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s remark which she had put so simply. Five percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares had sounded like peanuts to her, as if Zhao Shuncheng could easily come up with them.

In truth, Zhao Shuncheng really could not come out with such an amount!

When the family had divided its properties, Zhao Shuncheng had received five percent of the shares. However, he was only working as a small-time department head in the company even after so many years. His monthly wages were insufficient to accommodate the expenses that he spent in the high-end places where he enjoyed his promiscuous life. This was also the main reason why Zhao Shuncheng had colluded with the company’s accountant to steal the company’s money in the beginning.

After many years of income-deprivation, he had almost finished spending his five percent of shares. Later, his situation only worsened when he was kicked out of Zhao Enterprise.

Zhao Shuncheng was used to living a comfortable life. He did not know how to live a frugal life. As such, he lost his pillar of strength when he was driven out of Zhao Enterprise. Moreover, he still had to raise a pregnant mistress. There was not much money left for him to spend.

At first, Zhao Shuncheng could still gain some money from Zhao Youming.

However, without knowing why, recently, there were many times when he asked for money from Zhao Youming, he was told that Zhao Youming was not around not only when he sought him out at home, but at the company as well.

After several attempts, Zhao Shuncheng became very angry. This time, he had come to ask for money from Zhao Youming at the company once again, only to end up in vain.. Just when he was about to depart, he accidentally heard the staff gossip about Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s wedding!
