I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Overestimated Oneself and Underestimated Others

Yu Jingting looked sharply toward the neighboring wall while Suizi attentively straightened his clothes for him.

Though her movements were gentle, she accidentally caught his hair.

Yu Jingting hissed, his eyes wide with shock.

"Little lady, did you do that on purpose?"

Suizi stuck out her tongue and made a shushing gesture, signaling him to keep listening.

Yu Jingting mouthed the words "wait for it", as soon as the serious business was dealt with, he would take care of this little troublemaker!

Next door, Zhang Zheng, unaware that the very Suizi he was discussing was in earshot, was "loudly conspiring" with his subordinates.

"Coming here, I thought taking down Chen Hansui would crumble the Yu Family from within, but now it seems, this woman’s ability to orchestrate everything on her own makes sense. She’s even resisted my personal charm."

Suizi: ???

Her face full of question marks.

Personal charm... Does he have any?

The hair on Yu Jingting’s head felt like it was about to stand up in anger.

Those next door, they can’t just be described as shameless anymore; his self-delusion is simply too great.

Feeling Yu Jingting’s fury, Suizi quickly smoothed her hand over his chest to calm him down.

"I think the main problem isn’t Boss’s personal charm, but rather this woman’s overly high moral sense. It’s only because of her married status that she’s not accepting your advances."

Suizi: ???

Even if she weren’t married, she wouldn’t just indiscriminately take up with men, right?

Would she want every man she meets?

If that were the case, why didn’t she find someone else in all those years in her previous life? That man’s words deeply insulted her!

Yu Jingting had been angry, pondering whether to go next door and punch someone, but when he caught sight of Suizi’s puffed-up little face, his anger dissipated.

Now it was his turn to soothe Suizi, comforting her with mouthed words, "We don’t get mad at fools, okay?"

Suizi was touched by his warmth, and had he not taken advantage of the moment to cop a feel, she thought she’d be even more moved.

"These so-called decent women, they just have too high a moral bottom line. They get married but can still divorce. How am I not better than her husband? So he’s taller than me and looks similar, but didn’t I come from a far better background? That guy comes from a mud-leg background, what charm does he have?"

Suizi almost shouted out, "When did you become blind?"

If you’re blind, you should get that checked out instead of coming out here and annoying people!

Which of his eyes saw him as handsomer than Yu Jingting?

Standing side by side, anyone could see it’s her man who’s the handsomer one! Her man’s ruffian charm is unbeatable!

As if to spite him, Suizi wrapped her arms around Yu Jingting’s neck, pressed him against the partition, and kissed him fiercely.

How good her man was, she’d prove with her own strength!

No outsider gets to chirp about it!

Yu Jingting played hard to get, acting like the proper family man.

"Oh no, that’s not appropriate~~~"

Next door, the man who had been labeled "fool" by Suizi was still "loudly conspiring."

"Boss, since that woman just won’t bite, what do we do now? We were counting on taking her down to help you rise to power and claim the inheritance. Even if she doesn’t become your military adviser, offering her up to the old master, breaking the Hu Family’s combat power, the old master would be happy and might acknowledge your existence."

"Nonsense! Do you think I care about being a bastard? I just want to prove myself! Whatever the eldest son can do, I can do just the same."

Suizi, busy nibbling on Yu Jingting’s, paused and Yu Jingting saw her roll her eyes massively.

"Keep going," he whispered against her forehead, he wasn’t done playing yet.

"I’m seriously frustrated. The times create heroes, huh? Any old monster or demon can make a fortune, so what the hell does this idiot have to start from scratch like you and succeed? Does he deserve it?"

It took quite something to make Suizi swear, which showed she genuinely had a fire burning inside.

From the snippets of conversation next door, she had already pieced together what had happened.

Zhang Zheng was the illegitimate child of the Zhang Family and, to gain the family’s recognition, had circled around and found Fourth Master, and then realized that Suizi was the Yu Family’s military adviser, seeking to use her as a breakthrough point.

That was why he kept approaching Suizi.

Suizi was on a roll with her anger, not stopping to think deeper, and her judgment of Zhang Zheng was entirely subjective distaste.

If she could have calmed down and thought about it, she would have found that Zhang Zheng, apart from being a bit of a dramatic narcissist, was actually an impressive opponent, several cuts above the rest.

Suizi was only annoyed that her man was underestimated and childishly devalued her opponent to nothing in her heart.

However, while Yu Jingting was busy teasing his wife and taking advantage, he hadn’t forgotten to think. What Suizi didn’t consider, he did.

The fact that Fourth Master and Old Master Hu had reconciled was something the outside world didn’t know about.

Not to mention that Fourth Master had such a sharp military adviser like Suizi. Suizi’s true status and power within the old Yu family were hidden from the outside world.

She herself preferred to keep a low profile, only claiming to be a student outside.

That Zhang Zheng managed to track down Suizi and accurately assess her capabilities put him ahead of ninety-nine percent of the competition.

His only miscalculation was overestimating his charm, thinking he could use his allure to drive a wedge between Suizi and Yu Jingting.

Little did he know, in Suizi’s heart, Yu Jingting was irreplaceable, and even if Zhang Zheng had a certain resemblance to Yu Jingting, Suizi would never entertain any romantic thoughts.

"Being a fool himself, he sees everyone as fools, huh," Yu Jingting snorted. Zhang Zheng’s downfall was in his messy relationships with women.

He had never met any woman with principles and naively thought Suizi was like the women he had encountered before, with too narrow a view!

Right then, Yu Jingting felt a surge of pride, realizing for the first time how much of a gap existed between himself, a man of integrity, and those rotten cabbages out there!

Did Zhang Zheng lose because of overconfidence? No! He clearly lost because his narrow worldview was shaped by chaotic relationships with women.

Yu Jingting, while turning the tables and taking advantage of Suizi, secretly gloated in his heart; he was going to compliment himself to his wife later.

Would he miss such a perfect opportunity to inflate his own worth by stepping on that rotten cabbage? Of course not!

The loud conspiring next door continued, but in this room, it was a perfect night with mutual affection.

Zhang Zheng hadn’t stopped talking the whole journey.

Spend the entire trip cursing the Yu Jingting couple.

Out of the whole rant, ninety percent was dedicated to cursing Yu Jingting.

Only ten percent of the time was spent on criticizing Suizi for not recognizing his worth as a good man.

Yu Jingting, who had always had a short temper, didn’t get angry when cursed at; instead, he almost wished the people next door would keep it coming.

Because every time they cursed, Suizi would become uncommonly proactive, as if she were in a fight with someone.

Yu Jingting certainly wouldn’t miss the chance to take advantage of this wife, and it had kept him busy all along the way.

Finally, the neighbors stopped cursing.

Not because Zhang Zheng was tired of cursing, but because the train reached the station.

Content, Yu Jingting watched Zhang Zheng’s retreating figure energetically and cracked his knuckles with a cacophony of pops.

After a full belly and plenty to drink, it was about time to settle the score with Zhang Zheng, who was good only at running his mouth.
