Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015: No More Pretending, Laying My Cards on the Table

Coming out of the hospital, Suizi took a long breath of relief.

This matter could finally be considered closed.

The deputy director, under her and Yu Jingting’s "loving" education, wrote a request for early retirement, and Suizi personally escorted her to the director’s office, listening as she handed over the application.

From then on, there was one less corrupt doctor in the world.

"I always felt that when I first came back, I was too lenient towards that doctor who tried to cheat me. We should make all those doctors who accept bribes and do unethical things go home. Now it’s like a cycle has completed. Having dealt with this matter, I feel much more at peace,"

Suizi voiced her thoughts.

Yu Jingting burst into laughter.

"Why do you sound like our maiden, Luoluo? When she doesn’t fight well, she feels upset when she gets back home."

The little girl would act coquettishly with her father when upset, and Yu Jingting taught her many cunning tricks. When they let the girl out, normal kids really couldn’t beat her.

"That’s so true," Suizi laughed, amused by his comment.

"Back then we were young and had no capital. If we got bullied, we could only fight and curse. It’s different now," Yu Jingting patted her shoulder. "I’m confident that I can take care of this family with you and won’t let outsiders bully us."

He now had more means to deal with those bastards who bullied his family members. He’d beat them and then clean up without any delay.

Suizi nodded vigorously, warmed by the sentiment. She believed.

Over the years, the two never stopped moving forward, enriching themselves in every way possible, both spiritually and financially, all so that their family could live a better life.

"Although we haven’t figured out the other party’s motive yet, it probably has something to do with Dad’s job. By causing Mum to give birth prematurely, they could threaten Dad and divide his attention. We have handled the doctor part; the rest is up to Dad. I believe that by the time we return from the border, Dad will have taken care of it."

Suizi and Yu Jingting could only help Fan Huang clear the external forces. As for the higher-ups, those were currently beyond their reach.

But she believed that in another decade or so, she and Jingting would grow into towering trees like her father, spreading sturdy branches to shelter the rest of the family.

Suizi looked towards the horizon. This was, in essence, what legacy was all about.

After relaying the news to Fan Huang and seeing his confident demeanor, Suizi knew she had guessed correctly. Her father was sure of himself.

Fan Huang’s mood greatly improved knowing his wife’s pregnancy had stabilized.

No conspiracy could dampen his spirits. In his words, having a safe family was the greatest blessing.

He gave Suizi a sum of money as a "bonus" from Dad, allowing her and Yu Jingting to go to the border with no distractions, without even having to bring the children, as if it were an extended vacation for the young couple.

The good news about Chen Lijun brightened Suizi’s spirits too, and she hummed a little tune as she packed.

Yu Jingting, with a green onion in his mouth, came over and pointed at the pile of sock balls in her suitcase.

"Why are you bringing so many socks?"

Suizi, with a smug smile on her lips, unraveled the socks to show him.

Yu Jingting was so shocked that he didn’t even chew the green onion.

Wrapped inside the socks was a bundle of paper, and unfolded, it revealed jewelry!

"I figured that with the old man’s birthday celebration, there will be no shortage of socializing. Since our family deals in jade, it wouldn’t be good to be too plain."

So, in addition to the bracelet and earrings given by her uncle, she had brought a few pieces of jewelry, planning to wear different ones there.

In recent years, Yu Jingting had provided Suizi with quite a few valuables, some of which were not inferior to the bracelet her uncle gave.

Although the aesthetic was somewhat tainted with Yu Jingting’s bad taste... at least when worn, one glance would tell that they were expensive and would be enough to make an impression.

"Why use socks for jewelry? And why wrap it in so much paper? Anyone who doesn’t know might think you’re up to some shady business," Yu Jingting complained.

"It’s called not exposing wealth," Suizi replied. "When traveling, the lower profile the better. Look."

Suizi rolled up her sleeves to show him.

"What’s this thing—a hair tie? Why are you taking a maiden’s hair tie?"

Yu Jingting saw on his wife’s delicate wrist a fluorescent green scrunchie, which was no other than his daughter’s. It was from her head, wasn’t it?

"Dang dang dang dang~" Suizi pulled his hand to touch it, it was hard.

"I’ve disguised the bracelet!" Suizi was simply too proud of herself.

She had sewn the bracelet into the scrunchie and wore it on her wrist; anyone looking would think it was just an ordinary hair tie. Who could imagine that a priceless bracelet was hidden inside?

"What’s with that expression! We don’t have athlete’s foot, and besides, I used new socks!"

Suizi saw Yu Jingting pinching his nose and slapped him with her little hand.

Yu Jingting took out a pile of socks and closed the suitcase.

"A trip isn’t enough for your antics."

"Isn’t this because I’m scared we might be in danger? We’re not yet at the point of having our own chartered cars and planes, and our family happens to be in the jade business..."

Suizi, timid as she was, just loved watching legal system TV shows.

The public security had improved a lot over the years, but compared to the years when she had come back, it was still a bit worse.

"People die for wealth like birds die for food; it’s not just our valuable jewels at stake, there have been news stories of people killing over ten bucks, so being careful is never wrong. Look, what is this!"

Suizi pulled out two sets of clothes from the wardrobe, which made Yu Jingting frown.

"Where did you strip these off a beggar?"

"I borrowed them from our little auntie. When she went down to the fields to pick corn, she dressed like this. I also borrowed a set for you, we can change into these when the time comes."

She not only disguised all the valuable jewelry, but she also deliberately borrowed two sets of farmers’ clothes.

Hers was a faded plaid shirt paired with red cloth stitched shoes, topped with a washed, pilled pink triangle scarf that wrapped around her head.

The set she got for him featured green liberation shoes with a gaping hole where the big toe is, and a blue cloth jacket with patches on it!

With these outfits, nobody would give them a second glance. They had disguised themselves before when going to the countryside to collect antiques, but never to such an outlandish extent as now.

"When our dad took our mom out, did he ever go to such lengths?"

"When did dad ever go out without a crowd around him? With a whole bunch of people from the mine accompanying him, who would dare lay a finger on him? The two of us are on our own, and we’re young; if we dress too lavishly and attract attention, what do we do then?"

Yu Jingting wasn’t convinced—he had fought his way up from the village, so why couldn’t he protect his wife?

This little woman was underestimating him!

"Actually, I have another plan," Suizi whispered in his ear.

Having already made the trip, how could they not go down and gamble on a few stones?

If she hit the jackpot, she’d find a deserted spot to change her disguise so that no one could recognize her; just thinking about it was thrilling.

Yu Jingting thought his wife had been dumbfounded by money. They owned a mine; why should she gamble on stones?

Once they reached the director’s territory, would they need such an elaborate disguise? Wouldn’t it be more effective to have the director call a few people to follow them rather than dress in these shabby clothes?

Moreover—Yu Jingting glanced at the clothes Suizi had prepared. Dressing in one place was already different from the other; why did she insist on looking like a desperate beggar fleeing disaster, as if she wanted to draw extra attention to herself?

Feeling the full extent of Yu Jingting’s skepticism, Suizi chuckled mischievously and threw away the pretense; she was laying her cards on the table!

"Actually, there’s an even more important reason for me doing this."

This mysterious expression piqued Yu Jingting’s interest. What the heck was this little woman scheming?
