Chapter 295: Chapter 295 Real or Fake (700+ Monthly Tickets Updated)

Deep in the night, the train station.

Principal’s wife, Zhang Dashan, carried her luggage as she got off the train, looking exhausted.

"Sister Zhang."

Zhang Dashan turned around, taking a step back in surprise.

A figure stood behind her, wrapped in a silk scarf, donned sunglasses, and wore loose clothing. This late-night getup was quite intimidating.

"It’s me." Suizi took off her sunglasses.

Zhang Dashan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chenchen, what’s the deal with this late-night disguise? Did your man make you angry forcing you to run away from home in the middle of the night?"

"He’s fine, but I think you might have some trouble."

Zhang Dashan furrowed her brows as Suizi looked around the now scant station platform, and led Zhang Dashan behind a pillar.

The station wasn’t strictly managed at this hour. Anyone could enter with a platform ticket, and few were getting off this late train. Here was likely the safest place to talk.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Dashan left the station, her face pale, stomping stiffly.

Suizi’s voice echoed in her head: What’s more important? Your face or your life?

Zhang Dashan wished her husband, the principal, would drop dead right now. After all these years of marriage, he had never once picked her up from work.

He was fooling around outside, no shame despite his age.

Yet, a woman’s heart, after all, isn’t that ruthless.

Thinking about the years they’ve spent together, she couldn’t bear to wish for his death, not really.

Zhang Dashan cried as she walked, her tears masked by the inky darkness.

The lonely street didn’t offer any comfort to a woman’s strength and heartbreak; her tears went unnoticed just as they fell.

From a distance, Suizi watched Zhang Dashan’s retreating figure, feeling a surge of sadness for her.

Even though Zhang Dashan had a manly name, there must have been a particularly soft spot in her heart.

No matter how tough a woman appears, there will be moments when she yearns for a touch of warmth.

Like coming home late at night and hoping someone is there to pick her up, to help her with her luggage.

There are not many women naturally born strong. Many are like Suizi in her past life.

Unable to find someone to lean on, they force themselves to be strong, even as they cry.

Suizi waited on the station platform a bit longer, until a pair of hands silently fell on her shoulders.

"Why did you come in here? Were you not supposed to wait outside? Such a waste of money."

She turned around, not at all surprised to see Yu Jingting standing behind her.

"I climbed over the wall to get in. I didn’t buy a platform ticket."

Picking up his wife isn’t limited by the location.

If the circumstances allow, he’d pick her up. If not, he’d make them.

While touched by Yu Jingting’s actions, Suizi felt increasingly sorry for Zhang Dashan.

"What are you thinking about? Why do you seem sad?" asked Yu Jingting.

"I was thinking...you’re really great."

Yu Jingting’s kindness only highlighted just how terrible the principal was.

As her husband, the principal always brought trouble and left Zhang Dashan to clean up his messes all his life.

She didn’t understand why Zhang Dashan had chosen not to divorce him and insisted on tidying up his messes.

But it is what it is.

People’s joys and sorrows are often incomprehensible. It’s not her place to make judgments about someone else’s choices.

...

"Suizi! Something terrible has happened!!!"

The next morning, Zhang Yue’e and Xiaoli rushed over to the Yu family house in search of Suizi.

"What happened?"

"The principal’s missing. Zhang Dashan’s reported it to the police, and the school’s in chaos!"

"Oh? What happened?" Suizi asked.

"They say Zhang Dashan came back from a business trip last night and found the door wide open, blood on the ground, and the principal is nowhere to be found. The shock even made her faint."

"Even our superior has been alerted, saying you should return to the school and take over the principal’s duties. But can you handle it in your condition?"

Suizi held her waist and stood, saying.

"I’m only just 7 months pregnant, I think I’ll be okay. What did the police say?"

"They questioned everyone from our unit one by one. Nobody heard anything last night. Suizi, what do you think happened to the principal?"

Did the Principal run away from home himself, or was he taken, or even already killed?

A living person vanished without a trace, and no one can explain what exactly happened.

The superiors had to call Suizi, who was on maternity leave, back to keep the situation under control.

Suizi had already taken control of the situation at school even before her leave. So, to Suizi, whether the principal was there or not didn’t make much of a difference.

In a meeting, Suizi asked all teaching staff to give same response when questioned by the students.

"All updates will be as per the police notifications, the school has nothing else to declare."

And with the principal’s disappearance, Zhang Dashan also moved out of the school dormitory, claiming she was too heartbroken and took leave to return to her parent’s home.

With no parties involved available to inquire, and Suizi not allowing anyone to discuss the case at school,

all the chaotic events at the night school gradually settled down, and order was restored at school.

The superiors were very satisfied with Suizi’s performance in the face of adversity.

At a meeting held at the police station, Suizi represented the school. The department head, Mr. Zhen, expressly commended her performance.

Equally satisfied was Fan Hua, lying on his sickbed.

"Jingting, you handled this matter swiftly and efficiently, very well done."

"I’ve done what you asked, what about the promotion you promised?" Yu Jingting took out a cigarette and lit it in front of Fan Hua.

"I’ve prepared the paperwork long ago, the stamp is in the drawer." Fan Hua directed Yu Jingting to take the stamp and the ink pad from the drawer.

Just as Yu Jingting was about to stamp the documents, Fan Hua held them back.

"What do you mean?" asked Yu Jingting.

"Where did you bury the body?" Fan Hua asked.

"On the outskirts of the city, near the river bend. Don’t worry, no one saw me."

"Did you take photographs?"

In order to confirm if Yu Jingting really had done what needed to be done, Fan Hua had given him a camera in advance.

Yu Jingting passed him a roll of film.

"Check it yourself, there’s no way to develop this."

"And the camera?"

"I kept it. I helped you get rid of the nuisance; it’s only fair I get to keep a camera, no?"

Fan Hua gritted his teeth.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have given him such an expensive camera.

This was an imported camera from Yueben country. Even if you had money, you couldn’t buy it.

Fan Hua gripped the film roll tightly. It contained evidence of Yu Jingting’s crime.

He had asked Yu Jingting to eliminate the Principal and take photographs.

He would exchange the pictures for the promotion papers. Once the red seal was affixed, Yu Jingting would instantly become the youngest department head in the history of the factory.

"Don’t let me down, young man. Work hard." Fan Hua handed the file to Yu Jingting, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

The Yu Family

Suizi was fiddling with the camera. She was not quite familiar with this old-fashioned camera, especially the ones imported from Yueben country were slightly complex to operate.

"Sister-in-law, are you ready?"

Jiaojiao and Wang Cuihua had been posing for a while now, eagerly waiting for their picture to be taken.

Jiaojiao’s face was made up with rosy cheeks by Wang Cuihua, who had also painted her eyebrows for the photo.

"Mom, do you really have to be this flamboyant?" Suizi felt somewhat helpless.

It was one thing for her mother-in-law to show off their family’s wealth by posing on Yu Jingting’s tractor—

But why on earth did they have to place a bicycle, borrowed from their neighbor, Wang the teacher, in the tractor’s bucket?!
