Right after they walked out of the main entrance, Zhao Youlin looked up at the sky before she gave another glance at the person next to her with a dark expression. The corners of her lips curved upward. “It’s still early, shall we…”
Mu Tingfeng paused mid-stride. His eyes lit up when he looked at Zhao Youlin. After a brief moment, he faked a cough and said solemnly, “Since you are looking forward to dating, let’s watch a movie at a nearby theater before we go back.”
Zhao Youlin let out a bark of laughter. Apparently, Mu Tingfeng was the one who anticipated their dating so much. Yet, he refused to admit it and had instead claimed that she was the one who was looking forward to it. In addition, he also gave off a good husband look who submitted to his wife’s will. As such, Zhao Youlin shook her head helplessly.
“Yes, yes, yes. I am very much looking forward to it. In fact, I would do anything for it. Are you satisfied now? Shall we…”
Before Zhao Youlin finished speaking, the two figures that had left early had once again appeared in front of them.
“Uncle, Granduncle…” Mu Tingfeng’s smile faded as he politely greeted the two elders.
The former master of the family rested his gaze on Zhao Youlin for a while before he said strictly, “You two, come with me.”
After the former master finished speaking, he walked away with the help of his stalk without waiting for their responses. Su Liqiang was left behind and shot glances at Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng, telling them to follow suit.
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng exchanged glances. They unwittingly heaved a sigh, knowing that they might not be able to make it for their date today.
As expected, Mu Tingfeng’s face turned dark upon hearing the former master’s words. However, he dared not go against the former master with an imposing aura. As a result, he reluctantly followed behind the former master and Su Liqiang as he entered through the backyard of the Su family with Zhao Youlin.
The former master of the family took them to the second floor. However, they did not enter the guest room. Instead, he led them straight into his private study room.
The study room was not as opulent as what was expected from a nouveau riche as Zhao Youlin had imagined. The room was very spacious. Apart from a closet filled with a lot of books, there was a simple tea table.
A stick of incense was lit inside the room. The faint aroma was refreshing and pleasant.
The entire study room was ancient and humble. It was hard to imagine that this was the usual workplace of a former family head of the Su family.
When Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng entered through the door, the former master and Su Liqiang had already sat down in front of the tea desk. Meanwhile, the former master was… preparing tea!
When Su Liqiang saw Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng coming in, he showed them a silent gesture. The next moment, he pointed at the seats opposite them, signaling them to sit down.
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng exchanged glances. They looked puzzled. However, they still obeyed Su Liqiang and sat in the seats he had pointed to them.
The former master of the family was very skillful in brewing tea. At just a single glance, one knew that he was someone who excelled in the tea ceremony.
His movement was so natural from warming the tea set, placing the tea set, brewing tea, smelling the fragrance of tea to serving tea that even Zhao Youlin, who was not proficient in tea ceremony, could not help but praise him!
After he brewed the tea, he poured it into a turquoise porcelain patterned cup. He then pushed the cup to them in a solemn manner.

The former master stared at them passionately while pointing at the two cups and said faintly, “Please enjoy.”
Zhao Youlin reflexively cast a glance at the person next to her. When she met his comforting gaze, she slowly lifted up the cup and took a sip.
Right after she placed down the cup, the former master quickly asked, “How is it?”
Zhao Youlin was taken aback. It was only then that she remembered that the former master was asking her a question.
However, Zhao Youlin was not so naïve as to really think that the reason the former master had specially invited them over was only to taste the tea. In addition, she was not so stupid as to really think that the former master was seeking her opinion regarding the tea ceremony.
After she hesitated for a brief moment, Zhao Youlin said, “I seldom drink tea. As such, I don’t know much about tea ceremonies. Since you asked me this question, I couldn’t act like an expert to provide a professional opinion. To put it in layman’s terms, your tea tastes very good.”
Zhao Youlin sounded neither proud nor humble. The former master stared at her face for a long time without giving any responses.
The atmosphere inside the study room turned silent. For a moment, Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group felt their hearts all clenching up.
After a long while, the former master suddenly let out a bark of laughter. There was a hint of coldness and solemness in his bright and cunning eyes. “That’s very honest of you. If that’s the case, could you tell me who… you really are?”
Right after the former master spoke, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s hearts let out a thump.
Zhao Youlin reacted to this very soon. She was aware that her series of actions when she snatched the gun from him had attracted the former master’s attention. Most ladies who came from great families would at most learn a little bit of self-defense skills unless they were in Su He’s situation.
People like them usually had bodyguards to protect them the moment they stepped out of their house. Instead of learning self-defense skills, they might as well learn some musical instruments to inculcate music talent.
Undoubtedly, not even Su He would have been able to react so agilely like what Zhao Youlin did.
Zhao Youlin regretted her action. Just then, a hand stretched out to her and held her cold hand tight. Her fingers trembled slightly, and her restless heart gradually became calm.
Zhao Youlin drew in a deep breath before she looked up at the person in front of her, “Granduncle, I am the eldest lady of the Zhao family, Mu Tingfeng’s wife, daughter-in-law of the Mu family, as well as your grandniece-in-law. On top of that, I’m also considered your granddaughter’s good friend. I wonder which one are you referring to?”
Upon hearing her words, the former master of the family narrowed his eyes and said sharply, “You know that I wasn’t asking about this.”
“Not asking about this?” Zhao Youlin was not afraid of the former master’s terrifying and threatening aura. She gave a smile. “The past is the past. Granduncle, I don’t know exactly what you are asking about. For now, I am the eldest lady of the Zhao family, my husband’s wife, a mother to my child, and that is all.”
Zhao Youlin spoke her words loudly and clearly. Su Liqiang could not help but draw in a cold breath. He had been with the former master for many years. It had been a long time since someone dared to speak like this to the former master of the family.
If he remembered correctly, the last time an individual who dared to speak so outrageously to the former master had appeared was when he first took over the family business and learned to whitewash his business. The person who had dared to mess with him had suffered his consequences. The former master had someone toss that individual into the river to feed the fishes. From then on, no one had the guts to simply challenge the former master until now…
Su Liqiang lamented Zhao Youlin’s bravery while praying for her, hoping that the former master still remembered that this lady was the Mu family’s daughter-in-law, whom they had gone through hardships to get back. Su Liqiang prayed that the former master would not toss this lady into the river out of rage.
The Mu family’s daughter-in-law had a significant status in the Mu family. If that happened, they would have a hard time explaining to them!
The former master of the family stared at Zhao Youlin for a long time before he let out a bark of laughter. “After all these years, you are the first one who had dared to speak this manner to me and had also grabbed the gun from my hand. I have to admit that you are a very brave person and also very skillful. You are a talented person..”
