Chapter 200: Chapter 200: We’re not at a loss with this deal

The telephone made a thud.

Chen Lijun didn’t hold on to the receiver, and it heavily hit the wooden table.

"Lijun?" Professor Sun called out a few times.

"I’m fine, tell me the details." Chen Lijun steadied herself and picked up the phone to ask.

Professor Sun told Chen Lijun about Suizi inquiring about Fan Hua, including Fan Hua asking Suizi to be his household cook.

"Ha, he’s just a useless scion of the Fan Family, and he dares to have Suizi serve him?" Chen Lijun scoffed.

Fan Hua, that big fool, looking so ugly, yet having such flattering thoughts.

"Our Suizi has the spirit of a scholar and directly rejected him, right, should I tell Suizi that I’m her biological great aunt?"

Professor Sun is Chen Lijun’s biological third aunt, Suizi needs to call her great aunt.

"No need to mention it, if word gets out, we will never taste her cooking again. However, you can mention this in private with my nephew."

"Err, your nephew... " Professor Sun had a mental image of Yu Jingting’s ferocious appearance and his bandaged, bloody hand.

"Haven’t you met my nephew before?"

"I encounter him often. Your maiden always comes to see me with him, but Lijun, your nephew... is he really reliable?"

Yu Jingting looked like a fierce character.

Professor Sun felt that Yu Jingting’s temperament would fit any villain’s role in any novel, whether ancient or modern, domestic or foreign.

Only one question was left unsaid to Chen Lijun, doesn’t he really beat his wife?

"If he’s not reliable, then nobody is. Tell him that I told him to stop Suizi from investigating the Fan Family and also to keep Fan Hua away from Suizi. No matter the means, he will naturally understand what to do."

Professor Sun understood.

Chen Lijun seemed quite content with that street rat, not even addressing him by his name, just "my nephew".

Having hung up the phone, Professor Sun was puzzled.

"What’s so good about that man? Why do Suizi and her mother appreciate him so much?"

Suizi and Yu Jingting were quiet the whole way.

Seeing Suizi’s tense face, Yu Jingting dared not speak. He does cast a glance at Jiaojiao, hinting for the little girl to be a mediator.

But, Jiaojiao left.

Without looking back...

Yu Jingting gritted his teeth in frustration. Little rascal!

That fool had already swindled so much money from him, and yet she had failed him at this critical moment!

Seeing Jiaojiao run back into the house like a whirlwind, Wang Cuihua grabbed her collar.

"What’s the matter? Why are you running?"

"If I don’t run now, I’ll have to copy books as punishment later. Mother, I advise you to hurry back to your room too, don’t let my brother bring you down."

"What?" Wang Cuihua looked at her in confusion.

"My brother made my sister-in-law mad. I don’t know why, but mom, you should go back to your room with me. If my sister-in-law gets angry, she might take it out on you! Do you understand the book?"

The intimidated Wang Cuihua shrank back, dragging Jiaojiao into the room.

Suizi stood at the entrance of the courtyard, Yu Jingting pulled at her but she stood fixed, just looking at him with red eyes.

"Are you trying to play gatekeeper?"

"Your hand, what happened to it?"

"Let’s go inside and talk, aren’t you cold?"

"If you don’t tell me, I’ll just stand here."

Suizi knows him a little bit. Without some pressure, he could easily play it down and gloss over the matter with jokes.

"You’re really rising against me, huh? You think I won’t carry you in if you won’t go?" He said and attempted to lift her.

"I’ll run out in the middle of the night, I’ll run out without a cotton-padded jacket!"

Yu Jingting froze.

He cursed under his breath.

Her stubbornness would have been nice to use elsewhere, but here it was enough to drive him crazy.

"Don’t tell me you got scraped, I’m not stupid."

"I had a brief scuffle with someone, they were just a weakling. When they couldn’t win, they pulled out a knife. I was careless and got grazed, but it’s nothing but a scratch."

"Why did you have to fight?!"

"It’s a minor issue, don’t worry about it. Come, let’s go inside and see what surprise big brother has for you."

Yu Jingting held Suizi’s hand and led her into the room, covering her eyes with his hand.

"Look!"

Suizi blinked, adjusting to the light and saw a brand-new tape recorder on the table.

"Ah!" Suizi covered her mouth.

Such an expensive purchase, where did he get the money from?

"I took on a big project for the past few days, after a lot of effort, I finally managed to save up enough money. Isn’t it you who said that listening to music is good for the child?"

Suizi was at a loss for words.

She couldn’t quite tell whether she was more delighted or distressed, as she covered her mouth and shed tears.

"Why are you crying?" Yu Jingting had hoped that this gift would cheer her up. But instead of making her happy, he just seemed to make her cry more.

"Did you block someone else’s path of earnings for this, which caused them to seek revenge?!"

Suizi’s intelligence enabled her to easily understand the cause and effect.

Making over three hundred in just half a month, that’s not a small sum.

Enough to incur someone else’s revenge.

"It’s all in the past, I got the better of him."

With this, he tacitly agreed.

In recent days, Yu Jingting had persuaded a group of people to take odd jobs at the construction site.

He owned a tractor and was good at rallying people, which made them work faster than the original local team.

By blocking someone else’s path of earnings, he provoked them to seek revenge and ended up getting slightly injured in the resulting altercation.

He spoke dismissively, but Suizi was fully aware of the adversity he had faced behind the scenes.

Yu Jingting carefully observed her, trying to gauge her emotions from her expression, and was prepared for her to nag him incessantly.

But Suizi’s tears didn’t stop flowing and she was silent, turning and walking out of the room.

Yu Jingting heard the sound of water outside, guessing she had gone to wash her hands. He thought he had successfully dodged a bullet and started humming a small tune while examining the new household appliance.

"Come here." Suizi came back with a clean hand, holding gauze and antiseptic solution, "Let me see if it’s been treated properly."

Yu Jingting extended his hand, and Suizi carefully unfolded the bandage.

The wound was not deep and didn’t need stitches, but it was quite long and had penetrated the back of his hand.

Suizi gently blew on the wound, her tears falling freely, imagining how much it must hurt.

"Did you report to the police?"

"Mmhmm."

"You’re lying, you didn’t report it at all." Suizi squeezed his hand a little tighter and Yu Jingting cried out in pain.

"Are you planning to murder your husband?!"

"Don’t change the subject! When the other party used unjust means, you should have used legal steps to protect yourself, how could you let it go like this?!"

"It wasn’t for nothing, I used him to negotiate next month’s work and exchanged it for a tape recorder, I didn’t lose anything."

The person who came to attack him didn’t expect Yu Jingting to fight back either. After being beaten by Yu Jingting, he wasn’t foolish and chose to settle it privately.

"What do you mean by not losing anything?! Look at your condition, and you’re telling me you didn’t lose anything?! Even if we are in need of money, we can’t trade your wellbeing for it!" Suizi was so angry she could grind her teeth, but her hands treated his wound with exceptional gentleness.

"Alright, don’t interfere in the outside matters, I know what I’m doing."

Yu Jingting spoke firmly, but his hand lovingly wrapped around her waist, patting the twins in her belly.

"I’m about to become a father, how could I do anything reckless? Stop worrying, be a good girl, come, let’s listen to some music for baby education."

Fearing his wife would keep nagging about his injury, Yu Jingting inserted the cassette into the tape recorder.

"The piano music is not available, the cassette seller recommended this one which he said is a good thing, you listen and see."

The overly cheerful tune that followed made Suizi feel something wasn’t right. This, this is?!
