Chapter 55 - The Enemy is always in the Way (3)
The female attendant was naturally the first to be shaken up by Mu Tingfeng’s chilly aura.
Zhao Youlin sympathized with the female attendant who shivered after his imposing aura. At the same time, she gloated over his embarrassment. As such, she felt sorry for her. After all, she was the one who had goaded him into a fight first.
As she thought of this, Zhao Youlin faked a cough and attracted Mu Tingfeng’s attention. She said, “President Mu, you’ve heard her. This is on a first come first served basis. My son eyed the dog first, and he likes it very much. President Mu, you’re an adult, I suppose you wouldn’t be calculative with a child, right?”

In other words, Zhao Youlin was hinting that it was a shame for an adult in his twenties like him to fight a child over a pet.
Meanwhile, Xia Zhetao was truly caught by surprise. ‘This woman is more than just tough. She actually dares to provoke President Mu when he’s at his breaking point. She’s really digging her own grave!
‘However, what surprises me even more is that President Mu doesn’t burst out in anger on the spot. I wonder if pigs have started flying?!’
Mu Tingfeng turned his head and stared at Zhao Youlin for a brief moment. He was convinced that she was not joking with him. She truly did not have the intention to surrender the dog to him.
Mu Tingfeng furrowed his eyebrows. He found it complicated. After some time, he said, “It’s for my niece’s birthday present. State a price and sell it to me.”

It took Mu Tingfeng a while to come up with this offer. He thought that Zhao Youlin would definitely give in to him the moment she heard that he actually wanted to buy that dog for his niece.
However, the truth was, he was most ignorant.
Not only was Zhao Youlin not shaken by his words at all, but on the contrary, her anger intensified.
‘As a birthday present for your niece, huh?! Hehe! How thoughtful of you to personally select a birthday gift for your niece?!
‘How about Joy? No matter how, half of him still carries the Mu family’s bloodline, and he’s your own flesh and blood!
‘Joy is already three years old. Ever since his birth, you may not even remember his birthday, much less a birthday present for him!
‘Now, you actually want your son to watch with his own eyes how his father gives a pet, who he has laid his eyes on, as a birthday present to your niece?! Darn it! He must have thought both of us were weak!’
“President Mu, you must have a very poor hearing sense. It’s time to visit a doctor. Like I said, my son is very fond of this Husky, and he doesn’t have the slightest bit of intention to give up on it. Please do not make things difficult for us. There are certain things that cannot be bought with money. All my life, I’ve hated nouveau riches or upstarts who like to spend money to humiliate others!”
‘A nouveau riche? An upstart?’ The corner of Xia Zhetao’s lips twitched. He silently drew in a cold breath to himself.
If a person in the past were to tell him that there was actually someone on earth who dared to call the president of the Mu Feng Group a nouveau riche or an upstart, he would have called that person an idiot. Now, he felt like he was the idiot.
Zhao Youlin cast a fierce glance at Mu Tingfeng. Then, she turned her head and said to the female attendant, “We’re taking the dog. Please help us load it up.”
The female attendant stole a glance at Mu Tingfeng. She gulped nervously and said, “Alright, alright…”
Zhao Youlin took Joy’s hand from the female attendant. She shot another fierce glance at Mu Tingfeng again. She was about to leave as she hated to see his irritating face.
Mu Tingfeng was confused by Zhao Youlin’s sudden annoyance. The moment he returned to his senses, she was already about to depart.
Without giving it a second thought, Mu Tingfeng reached out for Zhao Youlin’s arm. However, he did not exert much force on it, and accidentally pulled off a large portion of Zhao Youlin’s loosely worn cardigan, revealing a significant part of her shoulder that was as white as snow.
Everyone fell speechless.
