Chapter 803: Hypocrisy (1)
After Zhao Youxi left the house, she didn’t go to see Zhao Youming immediately. Instead, she looked for a place to clean the cloth in her hands first. After making sure that she wasn’t stained with any blood, she stopped her car and walked to the place that they had agreed on.
When Zhao Youxi arrived at the agreed place, Zhao Youming had been waiting there for a while. When he saw Zhao Youxi walking over, his eyes lit up slightly. He got up and went to greet her.
“Sis, when did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I just only arrived. Who knew I would hear about you the moment I came back? What happened to you? Why did you kill someone all of a sudden?” Zhao Youxi said as if she was still in utter disbelief. She exclaimed, “Youming, what happened to your face? Who hit you? You’re all bruised up!”
Zhao Youming’s expression immediately became a little awkward. “Sis, calm down. Sit down first. We’ll talk after we sit down.”
“But your lip is split open. Do you really not need to go to the hospital to have a look?” Zhao Youxi still stared at the wound on the corner of Zhao Youming’s mouth, looking extremely concerned.
Zhao Youming’s heart warmed up, and he quickly said, “No, no. It’s just a small wound. I just had a small argument with someone.”
“You’ve always been calm, and you rarely ever argued with others. Tell me honestly, did someone deliberately make things difficult for you when you were having a bad day?”
Zhao Youxi’s words struck Zhao Youming’s sore spot. However, Zhao Youming knew that she was doing this for his own good, so he could only swallow the anger in his heart. He patiently comforted her, “Sister, you’re overthinking it. No one is making things difficult for me. It’s just that I’ve been in a bad mood recently, and I wanted to find something to vent on. I wasn’t careful and ended up like this. I’m really fine.”
Zhao Youming patiently coaxed her a few more times before Zhao Youxi nodded and sat down with him.
As soon as Zhao Youxi sat down... she immediately sighed and said, “After all that has happened, it’s no wonder you’re in a bad mood. Youming, tell me what happened. Why are you involved in a murder case all of a sudden?”
Zhao Youming sighed. His usually gentle face suddenly became a little twisted. “It’s all because of those two b*tches, Zhao Youlin and Zhao Yifei. Sister, Zhao Yifei is not a child of our Zhao family. He’s a b*stard born from someone else’s mother. Grandfather just kicked him out of the house not long ago.”
“Oh?” Zhao Youxi raised her eyebrows and pretended to be surprised. “Really?”
“Absolutely!” Zhao Youming had been holding it in for so long that this experience was almost cathartic. Naturally, he couldn’t help but want to say everything.
“Zhao Yifei is a bastard. After he left the Zhao Group, he was unwilling to accept it. I never got along with him, so he had long held a grudge against me. As for Zhao Youlin, after Zhao Yifei left, of course, she wanted to deal with me. Without me, no one can compete with her for the company.”
“Oh?” Zhao Youxi picked up the cup of coffee that Zhao Youming had ordered for her in advance and took a sip. She said lightly, “So, the rumors outside are all fake? You didn’t kill anyone?”
Zhao Youming’s expression froze for a moment. “Of... Of course. Sister, how can you doubt me like those people? Don’t you know what kind of person I am? How could I do such a crazy thing as killing someone?”
Zhao Youxi lowered her head and hid the chill that flashed in her eyes. Her fingertips subconsciously entangled for a moment, trying to restrain herself from revealing any flaws at that moment.
What kind of person? Heh, she just knew precisely what kind of person this youth in front of her was!
“Of course, I’m your biological sister. If I don’t believe you, would Zhao Youlin and the other outsiders do?”
Zhao Youming was overjoyed, and his eyes could not help but show some gratitude. “Sister, I knew it. You still love me the most.”
Zhao Youxi resisted the discomfort in her heart and said with a smile, “Silly, you’re my biological brother. What do you plan to do about this?”
Zhao Youming’s face darkened, and a rare look of dejection appeared on his face. “What else can I do? “I’ve already been kicked out of the Zhao family. Grandfather and the others have always favored that b*tch Zhao Youlin. Now that they’re all on her side, I have no chance of winning at all.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youxi reached out to hold Zhao Youming’s hand. As expected, she found that Zhao Youming’s hand was unusually cold. “Don’t be too anxious. Since those things aren’t true and someone wants to slander and frame you, then the truth will come out one day.”
Zhao Youming was not comforted at all because he knew that those things weren’t slanderous at all.
Although he thought so, Zhao Youming could not really say that to Zhao Youxi, he just silently lowered his head and pretended to be sad and pitiful, “Why would I get anxious? But sister, all my trump cards have been taken away by them. Now everyone is waiting to see me become a joke, waiting to beat up a drowning dog like me. No one is willing to help me. That b*tch Zhao Youlin has her grandfather and the Mu family backing her up. Even if I’m innocent, I’m afraid that she will plant false evidence on me. If that happens, I won’t be able to clear my name even if I run to the monastery.”
Zhao Youxi sneered in her heart, but her face showed a melancholic look. She sighed and said, “We’re really in a difficult situation. In the end, it’s all that b*tch Zhao Youlin’s fault. If it weren’t for her, our family wouldn’t have...”
“Yeah...” Zhao Youming looked at Zhao Youxi’s expression and his eyes turned. He deliberately mentioned Li Hongyu, “If it weren’t for her, mom wouldn’t have...”
It was fine if Zhao Youming didn’t mention it, but the moment he mentioned Li Hongyu, Zhao Youxi’s face changed.
Zhao Youming only thought that Zhao Youxi was thinking about Li Hongyu’s death, and the hatred in her heart for Zhao Youlin gushed out in an instant. He didn’t expect that the person Zhao Youxi hated the most in her heart wasn’t Zhao Youlin at all.
Zhao Youxi subconsciously tightened her grip on the bag on her thigh. Only in this way could she restrain herself and not get into a conflict with Zhao Youming at this moment.
“That’s right. That b*tch Zhao Youlin is really too much. I must make her pay.” When Zhao Youxi said this, she gritted her teeth, and the hatred in her eyes almost gushed out.
Zhao Youming saw this. Although he maintained a gloomy expression on his face, he could not help but feel a little happy in his heart, and his eyes were contorted with some proud joy and resentment.
