I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 1004: Chapter 1004: Isn’t this that guy?

"Just the two of us, you want this much; can you even finish it?"

"When you were pretending to be sick, did your conscience hurt as much as your wallet does now?"

Yu Jingting regained the feeling of being in charge of the home, and with a single sentence, shut Suizi up.

Yu Jingting looked at her pitiful little demeanor and felt extremely delighted in his heart. Serve her right! Let this wench scare people by pretending to be ill!

He raised his hand to call the waiter, and added a large pork knuckle to the order.

If they couldn’t finish it, he could take it home and continue to eat it in the evening.

Suizi pouted, looking at his smug expression!

The couple was eating when they heard a commotion behind them, accompanied by a crashing sound, like someone had flipped a table.

By this time, Yu Jingting was about 80% full. Hearing the disturbance, he immediately stood up.

Suizi also stretched her neck curiously to look.

Several waiters ran towards the source of the noise, and the shouts grew closer.

"Help!" A woman’s cry for help grew nearer, as a woman with a bruised face desperately ran.

Behind her, two strong men were chasing her; one of them kicked over a table, causing glasses and dishes to clatter to the ground.

A group of waiters tried to break up the fight behind them, possibly worried the troublemakers would run away, leaving the restaurant to cover the losses.

Yu Jingting saw two men chasing a woman and thought about stepping in, but when he saw the woman’s face, uh...

"Isn’t that Director Qu?" Suizi recognized her.

The woman with the swollen, bruised face was indeed Director Qu, who had repeatedly attempted to manipulate Yu Jingting with underhanded tactics.

At this moment, her face was so swollen she looked like a pig’s head, utterly disheveled.

Seeing the menacing look of the two strong men chasing her, Suizi’s first reaction was to look at Yu Jingting.

Yu Jingting gestured dismissively; he was a good citizen, how could he be involved in such violent acts?

Even Chen Tong, that kid, had been charged with a crime; he definitely didn’t trouble himself with such matters.

Suizi almost believed his displayed indifference, as if it were none of his business.

But, it was only "almost."

Just as Director Qu was about to run out, Yu Jingting suddenly grabbed a bowl from the table and smashed it forcefully onto the ground.

With a loud bang, all eyes turned to look.

Yu Jingting stood with one hand in his pocket, a toothpick dangling from his mouth.

"Help me, Boss Yu!" Director Qu saw him as though she had seen a family member, desperately running towards him.

Suizi was still trying to decipher his actions when Yu Jingting had already pulled her back a few steps. As Director Qu ran towards them, followed by the two strong men, a crowd gathered, making the area impassable.

"You want to stick your nose in other people’s business?!" One of the strong men glared menacingly at Yu Jingting.

In the hopeful gaze of Director Qu, Yu Jingting slowly lifted his hand, and then, he leisurely removed the toothpick.

"Slip of the hand~"

The strong man cursed and continued to chase after Director Qu.

When Director Qu realized she couldn’t count on Yu Jingting for help, she tried to hide behind him, seeking protection, but Yu Jingting stepped aside, and she crashed into a table. The two strong men came over to pull her away, and the three of them struggled.

The dishes Suizi’s family had already half-eaten fell to the ground with a crash, and the plates shattered.

Suizi’s eyes widened. Huh?

If she wasn’t mistaken, that bad man beside her had tripped someone, right?

No matter how much the three struggled, they wouldn’t have knocked over the table. Suizi saw with her own eyes Yu Jingting kick the table leg. He kicked it!

Yu Jingting narrowed his eyes at her: "What did you see?"

"Fighting and brawling... ruined our lunch?" Suizi loudly asked the waiter, "We don’t have to pay for this meal, right? We didn’t finish eating."

The waiters were also confused; they had never encountered such a situation before.

"Yu Jingting! You’re leaving me for dead!" Director Qu was being dragged away by two burly men, wailing like a chicken, but still remembered to curse at Yu Jingting.

Yu Jingting whistled, "Ah, friend, goodbye~"

The waiter ran out to ask for the bill, and one of the burly men stopped, pulling out a stack of cash from his pocket impatiently.

Yu Jingting’s table got their meal for free too.

Five minutes later, Yu Jingting and Suizi each held a roasted sweet potato, sitting on the curb and munching away.

"After all the delicacies of mountains and seas, the most delicious thing is still roasted sweet potato." Suizi blew on the hot sweet potato and took a satisfying bite.

"Hmm, who would disagree?" Yu Jingting gestured with his lunch box, and the couple simultaneously showed content smiles.

They left the restaurant eighty percent full and finished it off with the roasted sweet potatoes.

"Eating a free feast makes one a bit embarrassed, especially since we’re taking food away as well."

Suizi admired her husband’s cleverness as she looked at the lunch box he was carrying, admiring for a while before starting to fret.

"Why didn’t we take more with us just now?"

The packed items were all extras Yu Jingting had asked for that hadn’t even been served yet.

"Aren’t you regretting it now?" Yu Jingting sneered, "Money-grubber!"

Suizi pouted; she didn’t know someone was going to treat them for free. If she had known earlier, she would have taken a few more large pork knuckles.

Making a profit out of Director Qu’s trouble, indeed.

"Did you know she was getting beaten there, so you brought me on purpose?" Suizi was curious.

Yu Jingting shook his head; he had no idea about that.

All he wanted was to spend some quality time with his wife and enjoy a good meal—who knew there’d be an unexpected treat?

"Those two burly men who hit her, you sure you didn’t arrange that?" Suizi was skeptical.

"I’ve already told you, no. Don’t you believe your man?" Yu Jingting said solemnly, "If I wanted to lay hands on her myself, I would have done it without hiring others. It saves money, and I don’t have that much spare change."

Suizi decided to try a different approach.

"So it has nothing to do with you?"

Yu Jingting stopped talking and just kept eating his roasted sweet potato, murmuring that it was really delicious.

This confirmed that it indeed had something to do with him.

"If she hadn’t come to you, how long were you planning to have me go to that massage shop?" Suizi asked out of the blue.

"I would’ve kept going. Massage is a cultural essence, you deserve to experience it," Suizi replied artfully.

Seeing Yu Jingting hum in response, she hurriedly tried to appease him by pushing her uneaten sweet potato towards his mouth, groveling:

"Her ’godfather’ knows our dad, we can’t just confront her head-on. I care so much for you, how could I bear to let you be entangled by her continuously? See how much I care for you!"

This roundabout speech whitewashed her actions.

"I think you just love watching the drama unfold, making matters bigger. That old guy frequents many places other than just the massage shop, right? Did you have to let her gaze upon my pecs?"

Suizi blinked, this was just a stroke of luck.

When Director Qu started pestering Yu Jingting, Suizi remained calm, but had already arranged for someone to investigate her.

By the time Director Qu had eyes only for Yu Jingting’s sturdy body, Suizi had already found out who her backer was.

She knew Director Qu had a godfather who suffered from back issues and visited a blind masseur twice a week.

Suizi seized the opportunity, sending Yu Jingting there, hoping he could extract some information from the masseur’s chatter.

She didn’t expect Director Qu to be so cooperative, actually approaching Suizi to provoke her.

Suizi played her cards accordingly, leading her to seek out Yu Jingting, culminating in the memorable scene at the massage shop.

The massage table, the indifferent Tiegen.

If it weren’t for the supplementary information provided by Chen He this morning, Suizi would probably be quite happy now, feeling triumphant for her family’s victory.

But precisely because of the supplementary information Chen He provided this morning, after Suizi penned Director Qu’s autobiography, she came to a conclusion.
