Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 741: So-called Elders (1)

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment when she saw Joy like this. Her heart melted slightly, but she didn’t say anything. She reached out and touched Joy’s head, silently comforting him.

The atmosphere in the kitchen was extremely awkward, but the few women outside were still making a racket.

“Oh my god, suicide? That little girl attempted suicide?”

“I heard it from the others, too. I heard that she committed suicide once before the divorce, but Tingfeng didn’t change his mind in the end. He even moved out of the house for a period of time. I guess he was tired of that woman’s crying, bawling, and hanging herself. In the end, that woman had no choice but to let the divorce happen.”

“Heh, even her suicide didn’t make Tingfeng look at her. What kind of feelings could there be between the two of them? However, speaking of which, if that woman is already so unlikable to Tingfeng, why did the two of them remarry and now have a second child...”

“Who knows? The former master was probably worried that Tingfeng would cause the Mu family to lose an heir because of that woman, so he tricked the two of them into getting back together. After all, an heir is an heir. With Tingfeng’s temperament, it’s unlikely that he will fall in love with another woman. It’s better to let that woman give birth to a few more children for him.” That woman’s words were extremely sarcastic, Xhao Youlin could hear a hint of gnashing of teeth from her arrogance, and her eyes flickered.

Everyone in the kitchen unconsciously frowned when they heard this. This woman’s words were too harsh. After hearing her words, the young madam had become a sow for giving birth. It was really unpleasant to hear.

“I think so too. But based on the girl’s and Tingfeng’s past, let’s just wait and see. The two of them probably won’t last long. When that girl gives birth to the child, the two of them will probably split up again.”

“Hahaha, I think so too.”

The laughter of the few women entered the kitchen. Before Zhao Youlin could get angry, someone had already rushed out of the kitchen.

“I say, you gossipy women, can’t you keep your mouths shut? Aren’t you afraid of retribution for gossiping behind people’s backs?”

The women outside did not expect that their words would be heard by others. Furthermore, they were being called out, and their expressions turned ugly.

After being stunned for a moment, they realized that the girl who rushed out was just a maid in the house. The women let out a big sigh of relief. They were so embarrassed that they flew into a rage. “Where did this girl come from? She doesn’t know any manners at all. Do you think that a servant like you can eavesdrop on us? How dare she come out and criticize us like this? One look and you can tell that she’s a country bumpkin who hasn’t seen the world. It’s fine if she’s rude, but her mouth isn’t reliable. She doesn’t even look at who she is before she dares to scold us. In a moment, I’ll get the butler to kick you out of the Mu family.”

“Oh, I didn’t know that other than grandfather, Tingfeng, and myself, there was someone else in this family who had the ability to order the butler to kick anyone out of the Mu family.”

A strange female voice came from behind them, causing the few women to be stunned. Alice, who had rushed out to criticize the few women on impulse, was also stunned.

The women instinctively looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl they had never seen before walking out of the kitchen.

“Who are you? Why are you in the Mu Family? What does it have to do with you teaching our servants a lesson? If you know what’s good for you, get out of the way. Otherwise...”

“Otherwise, what?” Zhao Youlin’s face was filled with mockery. “Servants in your own family? How come I didn’t know that there were so many other masters in this family? Alice, did you know?”

Alice was stunned for a long while before she finally understood that Zhao Youlin was helping her out and backing her up. Her heart warmed slightly, and she turned to look at the old women. She said with a chuckle, “I don’t know when I have a few masters who like to gossip so much.”

The faces of the women suddenly changed when they heard that. They pointed at Zhao Youlin and Alice in anger. “You... you...”

“What about it?” Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows as if she had suddenly discovered something extraordinary. She let out a low cry and said in distress, “Speaking of which, none of you know who I am, right? I’m sorry, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself. Hello, I’m Zhao Youlin, the main character of the hot topic that you were discussing just now.”

When the women heard Zhao Youlin’s words, their expressions changed. Only then did they notice that Zhao Youlin was holding a little boy by her side. The little boy hid behind Zhao Youlin in fear, but his big eyes were staring at them intently. There was a rare hint of anger and annoyance in his usually clear eyes.

Joy was young and innocent, but because of this, he could clearly sense who was on his side, and who harbored malicious intentions towards him.

The words these women had just said had already made Joy turn hostile toward these women. Those who said bad things about him and his mom were all bad people!

As if she could see the awkwardness of these women, the curve of Zhao Youlin’s lips became more and more profound. She said sarcastically, “You actually don’t recognize me. The way you spoke just now sounded like you knew me. I didn’t expect you to not even recognize my face. How disappointing.”

Upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s words, their faces became more and more unsightly. They felt as if they had been slapped hard.

“You... is this the attitude you have when talking to your elders?”

“Elders?” Zhao Youlin raised the corners of her eyes slightly. She easily recognized that this person’s voice was the one who had started the conversation in the beginning. It was also the one who later ridiculed her for playing hard to get.

That person took a step back when she received Zhao Youlin’s slightly cold gaze. She tried his best to make her tone sound more confident. “That’s right. If you really want to talk about it, you’re the daughter-in-law of our Mu family. I’m your aunt. These people here are your aunts, aunts, aunts, all of us... We’re all your elders. You’d better speak with a little more respect. Otherwise...”

“What else can we do?” Before the woman who called herself aunt could finish her sentence, Zhao Youlin interrupted her, “Aunt? Aunt? Aunt? What next?”

“What kind of attitude is that? You really came from a small family that hasn’t seen the world. You have no manners at all. Since you are the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, how can you not acknowledge us elders?”

“That’s right! Why are you being so stubborn? It’s your honor that we elders are willing to talk about you. Don’t be so shameless!”
