I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 267: The Spike Does Not Fail

Chapter 267: Chapter 267: The Spike Does Not Fail

After Yu Shuilian finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

Almost a minute later, Suizi finally broke the silence.

"Are you sure, you want me to do this?"

Her words didn’t come out of her mouth in fear, rather, they seemed more like sympathy.

She even looked at Yu Shuilian with sorrowful eyes.

It made Yu Shuilian’s skin crawl.

"If not you, should I go and ask Yu Tiegen?"

Yu Shuilian assumed Suizi was as naive as the relatives she had once sold, underestimating Suizi’s ability to grasp her intentions.

In Yu Shuilian’s eyes, Suizi was nothing more than an ordinary woman. The only difference was that she was educated and had a job in the city.

Like a frog in a well only seeing a small piece of the sky, Yu Shuilian had never had a chance to deal with intelligent people in her life.

Therefore, she had no idea that the seemingly gentle and somewhat timid Suizi in front of her was actually a formidable character.

"I gave you a chance..." Suizi touched her belly and stopped speaking.

This was the last chance she was giving to Yu Shuilian.

"Stop dragging your feet! Do you want Tiegen to kill you? Distract Tiegen tomorrow, bring Wang Cuihua to the warehouse on West Street, if no one is there before two o’clock, I’ll tell Tiegen about your deeds!"

Yu Shuilian stood up and walked towards Suizi.

Suizi skillfully opened the door to leave, always maintaining distance from Yu Shuilian.

Seeing Zhang Yue’e and Xiaoli standing outside, Yu Shuilian could no longer say anything else, she could only leave Suizi with a final ultimatum.

"Remember what I’ve said, if no one arrives on time, you will regret it!"

"Director?"

Zhang Yue’e and Xiaoli did not know what had happened. Both of them were loyal fans of Suizi, so they had been waiting outside early, fearing that Suizi would be at a disadvantage.

Suizi raised her hand to stop them and let Yu Shuilian swagger away.

Having resolved her pressing issue, Yu Shuilian’s step became lighter, but after only a few steps, she felt something hit her hard in the back of her head.

With a scream, her knee gave way and she knelt down on one leg.

"Ah!"

"Are you okay?" Zhang Yue’e intended to help her up but quickly kicked away the metal ball on the ground.

Xiaoli gave a big thumbs up toward the roof. The director’s husband had really good slingshot skills, so accurate!

Yu Shuilian turned around, Suizi and Xiaoli were standing far away, and there were no stones on the ground. How could she have suddenly fallen?

"Auntie, your forehead is darkened, bad luck is coming to you." Zhang Yue’e recited the words taught by Yu Jingting with a stutter, like a robot.

This girl was too honest, she had never done anything wrong in her life, and her face turned red when she told a lie.

If Suizi, who had a high IQ, heard this, she would definitely notice something was off. But Yu Shuilian was far from grasping the situation.

"Pah! Don’t scare people!" Yu Shuilian scolded as she got up. Her pale face told everyone present that she believed Zhang Yue’e’s words.

"Doing good deeds can avert disaster. If you don’t believe it, you will suffer great misfortune." Zhang Yue’e recited in an emotionless manner.

Yu Shuilian did not dare to stay any longer and limped away.

Only after she was far away, did Yu Jingting jump down from the roof.

Suizi was smiling, waving to him. She knew she could always count on him.

When Yu Shuilian asked her to come into the room alone, Suizi quietly told Zhang Yue’e to avoid Yu Jingting if he came back and to hide where Yu Shuilian couldn’t see him but where he would be able to hear her conversation with Suizi.

Yu Jingting chose the rooftop and kicked it several times to let Suizi know his location. It made her feel much more secure.

Entering the office, Yu Jingting took out a warm fried cake from his pocket and gave it to Suizi.

Suizi shook her head, losing her appetite after seeing the hateful Yu Shuilian.

"Were you scared?" Yu Jingting gently touched Suizi’s belly.

"No." Suizi didn’t feel scared, but she was a bit nauseated.

Even though she always kept her distance from Yu Shuilian, the overwhelming amount of malicious intentions and hostility radiating from Yu Shuilian still made Suizi uncomfortable.

Yu Shuilian had no idea that Liao Yong was also there when Suizi met with him. She only saw a fragment of the situation and thought she could blackmail Suizi.

"I was too lenient. I should’ve broken both of her legs, so she’d have to crawl back home." Yu Jingting said ferociously.

"It’s also good that she delivered herself to our doorstep, saving us the trouble of setting a trap for her."

The couple had already planned to investigate Yu Shuilian with Liao Yong, so it saved them a lot of trouble when she came on her own.

"Jingting, if you weren’t there today and someone told you I was with another man, would you believe it?" Suizi asked.

"Do you think I’m you? You stupidly believe whatever others say. I’m still holding a grudge over the incident with Wang Jialan."

Suizi originally wanted to probe him, but the cunning street urchin turned the tables on her, leaving her speechless.

"That’s... that’s because I cared about you..."

If she did not care about him, why would she care about who he was with?

Suizi now thought about how embarrassed she had been during her "affair-catching" operation.

She searched high and low, but found no affair. Instead, she found her own mother.

Who would have thought that the gap between her and her mother, which spanned over two generations, would be broken by this small episode?

"Come to think of it, I should thank you."

Scared that he would use this to tease her, Suizi took the initiative. She hugged his waist instantly, throwing herself into his arms.

"Being cutesy won’t help. I’m still upset that you, this little woman, don’t trust me."

Yu Jingting wanted to take advantage of the situation. His greatest joy was to tease Suizi. Seeing how shy she became when coaxed, it made him feel as sweet as if he had eaten several pounds of Sophora flower honey.

"Little woman, I’ve found your mother for you. What are you going to thank me with?"

In actuality, he was thinking that now there was nothing to worry about, he could pull the curtain closed, and get physical with his wife. Even if they didn’t go all the way, a few snuggles would be good too.

Suizi, who was acting like a little bunny in his arms, pushed him away upon hearing this and walked to the office desk.

Yu Jingting was full of question marks.

What was this woman up to?

Suizi took out the abacus and began calculating.

She calculated for a while and shook her head.

"It’s not enough. The travelling cost is covered, but just going for a stroll would simply not suffice."

Just now Yu Jingting had been mentioning about finding her mother and how she should repay him, Suizi immediately thought, she should get him a father in return.

Currently, only Suizi knew within the old Yu family that Jingting’s real father was not dead.

He was likely at the border now.

Previously, Suizi had planned to save enough money to go with Jingting to take a look and figure out why his father hadn’t returned home.

Now there were no more debts in the family and they started to make a profit.

The roundtrip train fare would be enough, but Suizi remembered that the place was famous for its jadeite raw stones, and the prices right now were at their lowest in history.

If they made the trip, regardless of whether they could bring back their father-in-law, they wouldn’t return empty-handed.

"What are you mumbling about?"

"Once the child is born, and he’s old enough to leave at home, after we’ve saved up enough money, I’ll give you a big surprise that will definitely match your achievement in helping me find my mom."

Yu Jingting gasped, automatically interpreting her words as an activity more exciting than their dressing up game – he was definitely up for that.

Suizi initially thought that this big surprise would have to wait until the baby was born before she could reveal it.

But this time, Suizi miscalculated.
