Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful-Chapter 297 - The Inside Story Back Then (1)

Chapter 297: The Inside Story Back Then (1)

Duan Yarong seldom showed off her prestige, but when she did so, it was often quite overwhelming.

The two men were overwhelmed when they were stared at by her like this. They looked up and down with guilty consciences.

Zhao Youlin could not help but laugh when she looked at the two’s cowardly reactions. She hurried to support them at the side, and she said, “Mom, don’t blame dad and Uncle Xiao for this matter. They did it for your own good as they are worried that you will be worried if you know about it.”

“But won’t I be more worried if I didn’t know about it?”

Zhao Youlin choked. She lowered her head and cast a helpless look at Zhao Shunrong.

Zhao Shunrong coughed lightly and said awkwardly, “Since the real culprit has been arrested, this matter will end here. You don’t have to worry until you are unable to sleep every night as you keep thinking about it.”

Zhao Shunrong’s words did not make Duan Yarong’s anger dissipate. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Jingyao quickly changed the subject. He mentioned another big matter.

“Actually, I came to the president at this time because I have one more thing to report.”

As soon as Xiao Jingyao said this, the attention of the people was attracted to him again.

They looked at Xiao Jingyao’s slightly solemn expression and felt a little uneasy. They said in unison, “What’s the matter?”

Xiao Jingyao did not answer directly. He just turned his gaze to Zhao Youlin.

“This matter is related to the general manager.”

“Is it related to Youlin?” Duan Yarong immediately became nervous when she heard this.

“This time, while tracking down the incident of Ms. Li hiring other people to hunt down the general manager, we managed to find information about another incident. It is about the death of the general manager’s mother.”

“What?”

“We found out that the death of the general manager’s mother has a lot to do with Ms. Li.”

Xiao Jingyao’s words were like thunder which blasted among the three of them. After a short silence, Duan Yarong came back to her senses first. She stood up from the sofa again, and her emotions were a hundred times more excited than before.

“What did you say just now? Say it again. Who is related to Suxin’s death?”

Suxin was the name of Zhao Shuncheng’s ex-wife, who had died of illness. It was also the name of Zhao Youlin’s biological mother.

Zhao Shunrong was also stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. When he saw Duan Yarong’s reactions, he hurriedly stood up and walked to her side. Then, he held her in his arms and comforted him in a low voice.

Zhao Youlin looked at Duan Yarong’s appearance, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

For this “birth mother” who only existed in her memory, Zhao Youlin did not have much personal feelings toward her. She only knew from the memory of the original owner that she was a very gentle woman.

But the person in front of her was different. Aside from other things, she loved her, adored her, and treated her like her own daughter without reservation because of Suxin. This showed that her biological mother had occupied an important position in Duan Yarong’s heart.

“Uncle Xiao, what is going on? What did you mean by my mother’s death has a lot to do with Li Hongyu? Wasn’t my mother dying of illness back then? Can you say it in specifics?” Duan Yarong had lost control of her emotions, and Zhao Shunrong was busy comforting her. In the end, the person who asked the questions turned out to be Zhao Youlin.

Xiao Jingyao was taken aback when he looked at Zhao Youlin’s extremely calm expression. At first, he thought that after knowing the news, Zhao Youlin should have lost her composure the most.

“The truth that we have investigated is like so,” Xiao Jingyao pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said.

“The reason why the general manager’s mother got sick at that time was entirely because she accidentally ran into Ms. Li and her husband at the hotel acting intimately when she went out of the house. After she ran over, she witnessed the two… with her own eyes. Later, she unintentionally knew that the two of them had already had a child without her knowing. She was so angry that she got sick for a long time.”

“If I’m not mistaken, my mother seldom went out since she married into the Zhao family, especially after she gave birth to me. She stayed at home almost every day to take care of me when I was still young. The number of times she went out in a year could be counted using fingers. How could she have come across the two of them committing adultery and get so angry that she fell sick for a long time?”

Although the memory had been blurred because of her young age, the memory of her mother’s companionship with the original owner had never completely disappeared. It was probably because the death of the mother had caused too much psychological shock to the original owner.

In the memory of the original owner, her mother seldom got out. But even with such a small probability, she still bumped into those two people. There were only two possibilities. One was that Li Hongyu was together with Zhao Shuncheng every day, and they were inseparable. The scene her mother saw was a scene that happened every day. The second possibility…

Xiao Jingyao took a deep look at Zhao Youlin. He handed the documents he was holding to Zhao Youlin. Then, he sighed and said, “General Manager, your doubts also my doubts. So, I asked someone to investigate the specific process of the general manager’s mother when she went out long ago. Since it happened long ago, it was really troublesome to investigate it. However, we managed to know about the situation at that time through an old helper who had already retired from the Zhou family. According to him, the general manager’s mother left the house because she had received a text message at that time.”

“A text message?” Duan Yarong’s emotions calmed down a little under Zhao Shunrong’s comfort, and she immediately noticed the sign when she heard Xiao Jingyao’s words.

Xiao Jingyao nodded. Zhao Youlin’s eyes slightly narrowed. Right after Duan Yarong finished speaking, she asked, “What about the content of the message?”

“It is too long ago, so no one knows.”

The office suddenly became silent. Although the evidence left at that time could not be found because it happened too long ago, such a strange coincidence had actually caused everyone to start thinking about it.

“Uncle Xiao, just now you said that my mother’s death was related to Li Hongyu. Is it just because of this?” Zhao Youlin asked in a low voice with a solemn face.

Zhou Suxin got sick because she was angered. Her condition deteriorated repeatedly because she could not let go of it, and she eventually passed away because of a serious illness. It was still far-fetched to blame her death on Li Hongyu because of this. Zhao Youlin’s intuition told her that this was by no means so simple.

“This is what I’m going to talk about next,” Xiao Jingyao pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly, “If it was just because of this, the mother of the general manager would not lose her life even though she was seriously ill. The bad thing was that Ms. Li Hongyu had an improper thought after the mother of the general manager got ill. She thought that this was a great opportunity to get rid of the general manager’s mother.”

Duan Yarong’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Xiao Jingyao’s words. She asked in horror, “W-What did she do?”

“Ms. Li bribed the servant of the Zhao family and did something to the medicine of the general manager’s mother.”
