Chapter 17
Initially, the old butler had thought that Zhao Youlin would throw a tantrum once again after she received the divorce agreement. However, he had underestimated her.
After receiving the divorce agreement, she did not show any emotions at all, save for the single raise of an eyebrow.
She flipped through the agreement nonchalantly until the last page. As she had expected, Mu Tingfengās signature was there. āIt looks like Young Master Mu canāt wait any longer. In other words, weāll be divorced once I sign this?ā
Zhao Youlin sneered internally, and she flipped the pages backward. Since he wanted a divorce, she would take all the time in the world to comply.
Although she was trapped in another personās body and living that personās life in this world, she would still fight for the rights that she deserved. She would not simply let this young master whom she had never seen in her life have it easy.

As Zhao Youlin thought about it, the way she looked at the agreement grew more and more intense.
Joy seemed to notice that something was off in the atmosphere. He lay obediently in Zhao Youlinās arms and remained quiet.
Zhao Youlin flipped through the pages and softly said, āDid Mu Tingfeng say anything else apart from asking you to give this to me?ā
The old butler froze. He hesitated for a while before he opened his mouth and said, āThe young master mentioned that as long as you agree to the divorce, he will grant any of your requests.ā
āAny requests?ā Zhao Youlin lifted her gaze from the agreement and looked at the old butler with a scoff.
Her stare sent a shiver down the old butlerās spine, but he fought to compose himself and replied, āCorrect, any requests, be it in terms of money, shares, or property. He can give you any of them.ā
Zhao Youlin snorted. She threw the divorce agreement onto the table before she carried Joy and nonchalantly said, āWhat happens if I say that I desire everything from the Mu family? Can he really provide me with that?ā
The countenance of the surrounding people changed upon hearing Zhao Youlinās nonchalant remarks. The old butlerās face turned ghastly pale, but there was also slight indignation on his calm face, which was a rare sight. āMadam, youā¦ā
āWhatās wrong with me?ā A hint of mockery was apparent on Zhao Youlinās face. āDo you think that Iām insatiable? Hasnāt he said that as long as Iām willing to divorce him, heāll agree to all my requests? If thatās true, then Iāve stated my terms. Yet, you are acting as if Iām asking too much. What shall I do? He should know that he has to pay a price for everything in this world. Iāll be paying my price, thus, Iāll naturally seek my own reward. It will all depend on your dear young master whether itās worth the price.ā
The old butler was speechless. Although he knew that it was obviously an unprofitable exchange to trade in all of the Mu familyās property for a divorce agreement, he found himself unable to refute Zhao Youlin.
Zhao Youlin scooped Joy up and teased him for a while. After that, she snorted again with a trace of derision in her eyes. āFine, I know that even if Mu Tingfeng agrees to it, heās incapable of doing it. Go back and make it known to him that if he lacks the capability, he should stop making such promises. Heās simply disgracing himself.ā

The old butler was stunned for a moment. He immediately realized that Zhao Youlinās remarks were actually a veiled insult toward Mu Tingfeng. He seemed to look increasingly troubled.
Zhao Youlin carried Joy and raised her legs to climb up the stairs. However, the old butler called out to her once again, āMadamāā
Zhao Youlin did not give the old butler a chance to continue. She snapped, āActuallyā¦ Itās not impossible for Mu Tingfeng to insist on the divorce.ā
āThenā¦ā The old butler was startled. Obviously, he did not believe that Zhao Youlin would relent so easily.
āI want Joy.ā Zhao Youlin carried Joy and turned away. Standing in a domineering position, she looked down at the crowd from above. Her lips curled upward as she continued, āIn addition to the grounds stated in the agreement, I want to add an additional clause. Joy stays with me after the divorce. If Mu Tingfeng agrees to it, we will have our divorce!ā
