Fierce Ex-wife: Pres Chapter 267 - The Lies Beneath the Lies (1)

Chapter 267: The Lies Beneath the Lies (1)

As the days passed, Zhao Youlin had been going back and forth between the hospital, company, ho, and kindergarten every day. It could be said that she was working hard.

But luckily, Qin Huai never appeared in front of Zhao Youlin since the two parted in the hospital unhappily. This made Zhao Youlin heave a sigh of relief.

As Mu Tingfeng’s injury improved day by day, the police started to investigate the case of Zhao Youlin being hunted down as well.

The first step of the investigation was to find out what had happened through the victim, Zhao Youlin.

Mu Tingfeng was injured that day, and Zhao Youlin directly left a few people and took Mu Tingfeng away in a hurry. She only left Xiao Jingyao to deal with the police alone.

But Xiao Jingyao had rushed over together with the police in the end, after all. He knew nothing except for the scene where Mu Tingfeng blocked a bullet for Zhao Youlin. So, he could not provide much useful information at all.

When the police ca to find Zhao Youlin, she was having afternoon tea with Duan Yarong.

When Zhao Youlin heard Uncle Zhao’s notice, she raised her eyebrows. Then, she put down the black tea and asked, “How many people are here?”

“Only two young male police officers.”

“Two. Okay, I get it. Ask them to wait for

in the living room. I’ll be there soon.”

“Okay.”

“Mom, I’ll go over and take a look.”

“Okay, rember to tell

and your dad if there is sothing.” Duan Yarong frowned. What happened that day had been completely unproductive. It had beco a knot in her heart.

Duan Yarong could not be at ease if she did not catch those people who were hiding in the dark and ready to harm Zhao Youlin at any ti.

Zhao Youlin knew about this as well, so she nodded and said, “Okay, I get it. Don’t worry.”

As soon as Zhao Youlin walked into the living room, she saw two figures with their backs facing her.

It seed that they heard the footsteps behind them, so the two turned at the sa ti. Zhao Youlin was imdiately stunned when she saw them.

Mu Chen was also stunned when she saw Zhao Youlin. His eyes widened, and he exclaid, “It’s you!”

“Yes, you’re right, it’s . It’s been a long ti, Mu Chen.” Zhao Youlin had never expected to et Mu Chen in this situation.

But now that they had already t, there was no way to hide it now. She could only bite the bullet and greet them.

Li Yan, who was beside Mu Chen, was also stunned when he heard the conversation between the two. He looked back and forth between the two of them and asked tentatively, “You two know each other?”

The smile on Zhao Youlin’s face remained unchanged, and she answered truthfully, “We t once in the cetery.”

Hearing the word cetery, Li Yan’s expression instantly beca a little weird. When he thought about the na of the person in front of him, his gaze at Zhao Youlin suddenly beca complicated.

Mu Chen completely ignored Li Yan’s question, and he said to Zhao Youlin, “Speaking of which, why are you here, Ms. Zhao?”

“This is my ho. Where can I be if I’m not here?” Zhao Youlin smiled. She observed them without a trace, and her eyes moved slightly.

It seed like her cute little brother and this Officer Li were not on good terms. That being the case, she did not need to be too enthusiastic when she t this person in the future.

“Your ho?!” Mu Chen’s eyes widened. His dull expression, which showed he could not believe it, made it hard to believe that this person was married.

Zhao Youlin smiled slightly, “Why? You find it surprising to know that I’m from the Zhao family?”

Mu Chen realized his gaffe, so he quickly said, “No, no… But didn’t you say that you were not from this city last ti? Why now… Could it be that the things you said last ti were all lies?”

‘Oh no!’ Zhao Youlin thought to herself. She had bumped into Mu Chen in the cetery last ti as well, so she had simply lied and told him that she was not from Shalnork.

She thought that encounter was just an episode, and it would be difficult to et again in the future. Unexpectedly, the two t again after a few months, and it was even in this kind of embarrassing situation.

“Uh… of course… of course not! How could I lie to you? Although this is my ho? I didn’t live here previously, and I just moved back recently. So, it’s not surprising that you see

here.”

Zhao Youlin’s words were vague, but people could not find fault with it.

It was true that she had just moved back to Zhao family’s house recently. She had always lived in the Mu family’s house before. After moving out of Mu family’s house, she had also lived alone for a period of ti.

But whether she was living in Zhao family’s house or Mu family’s house, she was still living in Shalnork, so what she said before had been problematic.

If the person who asked her about it today was soone who knew the past between her and Mu Tingfeng, she would have been exposed long ago.

Unfortunately, the person who asked her was Mu Chen. How could Zhao Youlin, who had got along with Mu Chen for more than ten years, not know that this kid had a few buttons missing? Although he likes to watch entertainnt gossip, he never rembered it and would forget about it the next day.

Even if he read the rumors about her before, he would have forgotten about it long ago.

As she expected, Mu Chen’s face softened after he heard her explanation as he accepted this explanation easily. He nodded and said, “I see.”

However, just because Mu Chen believed it did not an that everyone believed it. At least Li Yan, who was standing beside Mu Chen, did not believe it completely. He looked at Zhao Youlin inquisitively.

Zhao Youlin saw Li Yan’s awkwardness, but she did not really care. To her, Li Yan was just a stranger who had nothing to do with her. His mood was not within her consideration, especially when this person was not on good terms with Mu Chen.

After greeting Zhao Youlin, Mu Chen finally rembered the main purpose of coming today. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Youlin. “Oh, by the way, since you’re from this family, you should know that there is soone in your family who has the sa na as Sister Lin, right? We’re here to find her. Can we trouble you to urge her again?”

“Urge her? Are you guys in a hurry?” Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows when she heard Mu Chen ntion her. She suddenly had the thought of teasing the person in front of her.

Mu Chen did not know that the person in front of him was the person he was looking for. He smiled awkwardly and said, “Yeah, I can go back to the police station earlier if I finish my task early.”

“Do you want to go back to the police station earlier because of work or because soone is waiting for Officer Jiang there?”

Mu Chen suddenly blushed when he heard the teasing in Zhao Youlin’s words. He was so embarrassed that he did not know what to say.

Li Yan was watching the interaction between the two at the side. He suddenly felt very uncomfortable sohow. He frowned and stepped forward to interrupt them. “Ms. Zhao Youlin, if there is nothing else, can we talk about the business first?”
