The gravesite the old master had chosen for his wife was surprisingly quiet and simple.

According to him, his wife was a woman who loved the quiet. When she conquered the business world with him, she had had her fill of the hustle and bustle of the world.

Now that his wife had already left the world, the old master did not want too many people coming here to bother her because of trivial matters.

It was also because of this that the old master would only bring the family to visit his wife on her death anniversary. No one else would readily come here to bother the old woman on other occasions.

The old master and his wife's union was different from the other political marriages of the other rich families, where both families were of equal status. The old master's wife had not been a rich young lady.

The wife's parents were just two normal university lecturers, and she was influenced by them since young, causing the wife to be someone who was gentle and considerate. Besides, she was born intelligent and had an elegant presence, causing the old master to fall in love with her practically at first sight when he just entered university, and that love had lasted his entire life.

At that time, due to various reasons, the Zhao family was in a mess. The old master was the eldest son of the second wife. His parents and his other uncles in the family had wanted him to marry a girl who was of equal status and could bring good benefits to the family.

But at that time, the old master's heart already belonged to someone else, and he refused to agree to his elders and marry an unfamiliar girl he barely knew.

For that reason, he fell out with his family and moved out.

Soon after, the Zhao family's brothers fought against each other to gain power, and the hundred-year foundation of the Zhao family was nearly destroyed.

The storm in the family caused the old master to turn from a wilful, good-for-nothing rich boy into a mature and sensible master of a family overnight. With his own strength, he supported the staggering Zhao family, held his own opinions, and moved the Zhao family to Shalnork. He also spent a few years rebuilding his own empire in Shalnork. Anyone could just imagine all the hardships he went through.

And during his darkest hours, the girl from the average family always stayed beside him and never once left him. She got through all the ups and downs with him and bore three sons for him.

Later on, due to the old master's diligence, the Zhao family regained its past glory, but the woman who stayed with him quietly for years went through an unexpected premature delivery when she gave birth to his third son.

The son was born weak, and the mother was also affected. Her health declined, and despite the old master thinking of all sorts of methods later to treat her and sought out all sorts of famous doctors to help her, they never managed to heal his wife's drained body.

Hence, his wife's health kept on declining over the years, and in the end, she could no longer stay. During one winter night, she died peacefully in her sleep and never woke up again.

After the wife passed away, the old master never had any other woman beside him. It was not as if there was no one else vying the spot beside him, but all those who dared to have such thoughts all ended up with tragic ends.

To the old master, there were certain people who could never be replaced in his life. The spot next to him would only ever belong to his wife. Even if she was no longer around, he would keep it for her forever until he left the world and went back to her side.

Zhao Youlin supported the old master until they arrived in front of her tombstone. When she saw the picture that never faded out of color on the tombstone, she felt slightly touched.

The woman in the picture appeared to be in her forties. She did not look outstanding to the people in the current era, and at most, she could only be considered to be elegant and pretty, but this elegance and beauty made this woman look more natural and authentic compared to the beauties who relied on all sorts of makeup and plastic surgeries to be beautiful.

At first glance, she was not striking, but she gave off a comfortable feeling, like she was a spring breeze, causing others to be unable to help but take another glance at her, and when they looked at her again, they would find themselves acknowledging this old saying: at first glance, their hearts did not stir, but at second glance, she was breathtaking.

There were plenty of celebrities on TV now who were gorgeous and were idolized for their looks.

But after looking at people like this for a long time, the shock their audience had at first glance would disappear, and they would feel sick of them.

This was the same as fire laced with gasoline. It was dazzling, but because it burned too brightly in the beginning, that dazzling quality only lasted for a short period of time. Once the gasoline was gone, it would not even leave behind a single spark, and it was far too easy for others to forget them.

The wife's beauty was different. Her beauty was not as brilliant as fire. Instead, it was as gentle as water, and her charm could not be seen. When someone finally realized it, they would find that she had already quietly snuck into their souls. Forget about forgetting her, they could not even be separated from her.

The woman in the picture was smiling gently, and for some reason, the person Zhao Youlin thought of when Duan Yarong mentioned this person overlapped with the woman in the picture.

At that moment, Zhao Youlin finally understood why the old master still cherished his wife even after so many years.

Both of them loved each other, true, but his wife's appearance and demeanor might also be an important factor.

Zhao Youlin stood and stared at the wife's picture while she let her mind wander. She did not notice that the old master had let go of her arm at some point of time and had walked in front of the tomb himself. He squatted down and touched the patterns on the tomb. She also did not notice that after the old master left her side, another person decided that she did not want to be alone and went up to cause trouble to Zhao Youlin.

"Zhao Youlin, don't you dare think that you can be free of worry just because Grandfather is currently supporting you. I'm telling you, we don't know who will have the last laugh. Just you wait." Zhao Youxi's resentful voice entered Zhao Youlin's ears and snapped her out of her daze.

Zhao Youlin did not react too much to Zhao Youxi's show of strength. To her, Zhao Youxi was doing this because she did not dare to act presumptuously in front of the old master, but just now, Zhao Youlin had stolen her limelight, and she was angry, so she decided to throw a tantrum.

Now, Zhao Youxi was the same as a dog with its claws and teeth pulled out. It was gasping for its last breath, but did not dare let anyone else know about it, because it was worried that the other predators would kill it. Aside from giving off an empty show of strength, she could do nothing else.

"Alright, I'll wait." Zhao Youlin gave Zhao Youxi, who stood behind her at some point of time, a smile. That relaxed look made it seem like Zhao Youxi had just talked about something unimportant.

Zhao Youxi's face turned red. Once again, she could sense the provocation from Zhao Youlin's smile, and she had a hard time controlling herself.

Zhao Youlin saw killing intent flash in Zhao Youxi's eyes, and she looked like she wanted to pounce on her to tear her apart. She cocked her eyebrows and chuckled before saying something that made Zhao Youxi's anger burn even stronger. "Ms. Zhao, have you been doing well in the office?"
