I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 327 Where does the storm vortex go

Chapter 327: Chapter 327 Where does the storm vortex go

Chen Lijun’s landline is unreachable.

Suizi guessed she must be out searching for Yu Jingting, and therefore not in her office.

"Aunt, have you heard about Fan Gao?" Suizi asked.

"Fan Gao? Someone from the Fan family, I think? I remember him. A few people from the Fan family came to our countryside together a while back, I think he was one of them."

Several members of the Fan family came to the countryside together, so it is unknown who the man who provided the tadpole was.

But what is certain is that it is absolutely not the man who claims to be Fan Gao.

Coming out of her aunt’s house, Suizi chose to walk where there were many people, alarmed by the appearance of this man.

Suizi asked her aunt to stay in touch at all times and inform her promptly if Chen Lijun responded.

Yu Jingting’s disappearance, the sudden appearance of the man, one mystery after another entwined her.

With her confinement imminent, Suizi always felt uneasy.

When she returned home and found the principal and his wife had both come.

"Oh, Suizi, we’ve heard about what’s happening in your family, accept our condolences."

"Who told you?" Suizi frowned.

She hadn’t shared this news with anyone else yet, so how could the whole school know?

The principal took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Suizi.

Upon reading it, Suizi was startled to learn that they were instructing her to study out of town - in other words, she was to be promoted.

"Oh, Suzi, we’ve just discovered that you are actually related to the Fan family. When you’re riding high in future, don’t forget to promote us as well."

The principal’s words made Suizi’s eyebrows furrow even more deeply.

"Something the Fan family arranged?"

This slot is for the second half of the year. Considering the timing, it allows her to give birth and to finish her confinement. Whoever was able to secure this slot must have strong backing.

"Your uncle helped you get this, your uncle is really good to you--don’t forget to put in a few good words for me in front of him."

The principal was trying his best to ingratiate himself with Suizi, just about etching the word "sycophant" onto his face.

Zhang Dashan nudged the principal, and he finally closed his mouth.

"We regret what happened to Jingting, you should take care of the elderly, and if you need any help from us, just say so."

In contrast to the principal, who only cared about promotion and wealth, Zhang Dashan spoke more reasonably. After consoling Suizi for a while, they departed.

"What is happening? The tobacco factory is saying they will give us a house, and your unit is going to promote you..."

Wang Cuihua started to feel overwhelmed.

If her son was at home, the family could have gotten together to celebrate all these good fortunes.

But now, with her son gone, all this wealth seemed like smoke and mirrors.

"By the way, who is the uncle mentioned by the principal?"

"A man with ill intentions. Mother, I suspect he’s after the child in my belly." Suizi briefly shared her suspicions, causing Wang Cuihua’s hair to stand on end.

The whereabouts of her son were unknown, and the child in Suizi’s belly was the only continuation of the Yu family’s bloodline - they would not allow outside intrigue!

"Then you better not go anywhere for the next few days. We’ll barricade ourselves. We can release the geese to bite anyone who dares to enter - but what will we do about Tiegen’s funeral..."

At the mention of the word ’funeral’, tears began to fall again.

It had been almost a day since they received the news, and Wang Cuihua still couldn’t accept this devastating blow. She spent the day in a daze, always feeling that if she opened her eyes, her son might come back.

"Unless they show me his body, I won’t believe he’s gone, and I won’t hold any funeral." Suizi’s tone was firm.

The family decided to stay at home, fearing that Fan Gao might stir up some mischief.

However, things didn’t unfold as expected.

Fan Gao did not resort to force against Suizi. Instead, he sent gifts to her house.

At first, it was boxes of fruits and meat.

Then he sent fabric and clothes.

Eventually, he even sent a washing machine.

Having a washing machine was a big deal in those days. Having one in the house would attract a crowd of neighbors, much like owning a television.

Unfortunately, with the gloomy atmosphere in the Yu family, nobody was in the mood to be cheerful.

If Suizi hadn’t led him on, she might have really thought this guy could be her own father.

She could feel that Fan Gao really wanted to win her over.

"Suizi, what do you think of this?" Seeing the workers carrying the washing machine into their house, Wang Cuihua felt puzzled.

Jiaojiao even opened the lid of the washing machine to see if any weird stuff had been hidden inside.

Now, protecting Suizi’s belly is the family’s top priority - they regard everyone with suspicion.

But the opponent was not playing by the rules. Instead of resorting to brute force, he was trying to win Suizi over with sweet words and gifts. What was he up to?

"Just accept what they’re giving us." Suizi said to Wang Cuihua.

A man who seemed to be a minor leader, supervising the workers carrying in the washing machine, respectfully asked Suizi:

"Sister Chen, is there anything else you need at home?"

"We need nothing. Don’t come again—" Wang Cuihua said.

"We need a piano." Suizi opened her mouth.

Both Wang Cuihua and Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in surprise. A piano?

"A piano... that’s a little difficult..."

"If you can’t get it, stop sending stuff and take all these things back," Suizi bargained hard.

"Yes, yes, we’ll get right to it."

"Don’t settle for an old one. Choose the best one." Suizi didn’t hold back.

After the man left, Wang Cuihua was left bewildered.

"Suizi, is this appropriate? He’s not your father, why do you demand so much from him?"

"If you want to fish, you need bait. But, Mother, are you aware that fishing carries the risk of the fish taking the bait?"

Currently, Suizi could only blindly guess the man meant her harm. But she had no evidence.

But, regardless, she would accept everything the Fan family sent her. If they were giving her benefits, she would take them, for she wouldn’t be a fool to reject them.

Sure enough, a piano was delivered in the evening.

It was even better than the one in Teacher Jiaojiao’s house.

"Sister Chen, are you satisfied now?" It was that minor leader again, grinning as he asked Suizi.

"It’s okay."

Suizi actually wanted a refrigerator too, but considering the limited use in the north, and its high power consumption, she decided against it.

"When it’s convenient for you, our factory director would like to have a private chat with you."

"Tomorrow. Let him come to my house."

"But the director has already booked a banquet at the restaurant."

"Well, he can choose to come or not."

The minor leader was at his wits’ end. Seeing Suizi acting like a spoiled young lady, he didn’t dare to refuse her, and left dispiritedly.

"Suizi, what is he scheming? And why haven’t we heard from your mother yet?" Wang Cuihua asked.

Half the day had passed and there was still no information from Chen Lijun, leaving Suizi unable to confirm Fan Gao’s identity.

"Mom probably ran into some difficulty and got entangled in it. Now we’ve become an information isolated island, so everything only depends on our own judgement."

Suizi felt things were getting complicated, she even started to worry about her mother’s safety in Beijing.

Without Yu Jingting, her family had lost their fighter. Additionally, they lost contact with her mother, leaving them unable to receive useful information.

You could say she was being attacked from all sides. One misstep might bring huge risks to the entire family.

Suizi realized that she was already in the midst of a storm. If she continued to muddle through things, she might fall into a trap.

"Mother, please call Teacher Wang from next door over. I have something to discuss with him."
