I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 367: What’s Going On

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: What’s Going On

"My father-in-law saved me, I recognize him! He looks exactly like he does in the portrait!" Suizi responded with conviction.

Wang Cuihua kept her mouth agape, immobilised.

Suizi looked at Yu Jingting, her eyes seeming to ask, what’s going on?

Yu Jingting waved his hand in front of Wang Cuihua’s eyes, and she fell straight backward, fainting.

Yu Jingting quickly caught his mother, gently laying her on the bed.

"Did I say something too bluntly?" Suizi felt somewhat guilty. She blamed herself for shocking her mother-in-law into fainting.

Wang Hui listened on the side, dumbfounded.

"Suizi, are you sure you didn’t see wrong?"

This roller coaster development had stunned even Wang Hui, an onlooker.

Not to mention the small likelihood of incidents such as abduction and rescue happening to ordinary people.

But for her father-in-law, who had been dead for ten years, to suddenly come back to life and save his daughter-in-law—Wang Hui remembered the last time she saw such an exciting story, it was in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.

"I couldn’t have seen wrong. My mother-in-law looks at my father-in-law’s drawing every few days, how could I have seen wrong?"

Wang Cuihua groaned as she woke up, just in time to hear Suizi’s words.

"Suizi, the ghost you saw, was he wearing a black robe? Was his hair as short as Tiegen’s?"

Suizi nodded. How did her mother-in-law know?

"It’s him! I knew it was him! I didn’t see wrong!" Wang Cuihua cried tears of joy.

Before, she had seen a figure resembling him standing under the parasol tree through the glass, and even called out.

But unfortunately, they had just missed each other.

She didn’t expect that after leaving the hospital, Shuisheng had gone to the guest house and saved his own daughter-in-law!

Wang Cuihua was overcome with laughter and tears.

Repeatedly murmuring:

"I knew he wasn’t dead, he wasn’t dead..."

"I’m sorry mom, I didn’t keep dad with me, but I did shout our family’s situation and where I work to him, but..."

The more excited her mother-in-law became, the guiltier Suizi felt in her heart.

She was bound at the time, unable to chase after him, and missed her father-in-law.

"Mom, I think dad has memory problems. He doesn’t remember he’s Yu Shuisheng, and he doesn’t remember you guys either."

"Perhaps he fell off the mountain and hurt his head." Yu Jingting interjected, casually taking his son over to burp, swapping the baby to Jiaojiao’s side.

He gently patted his son. The little fat boy looked content after eating and burped, falling blissfully asleep.

"It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t remember, as long as he’s alive." Right now, Wang Cuihua had no other wishes. She just wanted to see him up close.

As an outsider, Wang Hui also found Suizi’s story moving. But she suddenly thought of a particularly realistic problem.

"If he doesn’t remember who he is and has been apart from you for so many years, what if he has another family outside..."

The room fell instantly silent.

Wang Cuihua’s hand, which was wiping away tears, stiffened.

This problem had been mentioned by Suizi and Yu Jingting before.

But at that time, Wang Cuihua hadn’t seen Shuisheng with her own eyes and only hoped he was alive, deciding to think about the rest later.

Now having seen him herself and knowing that he truly wasn’t dead, reconsidering the problem, she didn’t feel as easygoing.

Seeing this, Wang Hui regretted her words and slapped herself in the mouth.

"Why did I open my big mouth and say that!"

"As long as he’s alive..." Wang Cuihua said dejectedly.

"No matter if he has another family or not, when he comes back, he needs to give my mother an explanation. If he dares to mess around with other women outside, no matter if he remembers or not, we’ll beat him up first."

Yu Jingting always stood up for friends, not for justice.

On this issue, he unequivocally sided with his mother.

"Let’s not be so pessimistic. We’ll find my father-in-law first and take it from there." Suizi tried to mediate.

Everyone’s speculations were self-concocted so far. They needed to find Shuisheng first and then discuss the future.

Wang Cuihua turned her gaze to the other bed.

Jiaojiao was lying there, sleeping deeply.

This girl had been worried about Suizi, staying up half the night. Only after seeing Suizi return safe did she relax and fall asleep. The tear stains on her little face hadn’t even dried yet.

Seeing that her daughter was born and never got a chance to see what her father looks like, deep sorrow rose in Wang Cuihua’s heart.

"Suizi is right. We need to find him first. Regardless of whether he remembers us or not, he needs to see Jiaojiao, and Jiaojiao needs to see him..."

She, Wang Cuihua, had to make Shuisheng know that she had done right by him, that she had raised his two children, and they had grown into respectable youngsters.

No one slept well that night. Yu Jingting held Suizi, who had been frightened, and tenderly patted her. Wang Cuihua suffered from insomnia until daybreak.

After daybreak, Liao Yong came over to take Suizi’s statement.

Fan Gao was sober now, and making a scene in the local police station, claiming he didn’t remember anything from last night. He even tried to excuse his actions by saying he was just drunk.

But this kind of excuse had absolutely no use.

Whether drunk or not, he had to take responsibility for his actions.

The police didn’t buy this, and Fan Gao switched tactics, claiming Suizi was his biological daughter, arguing that it’s not illegal to tie up his own daughter, is it?

He even brought up the fact that he had given Suizi appliances and a piano before, alleging that Suizi accepted him as her father, otherwise why would she accept those gifts?

When Liao Yong came to investigate, Suizi boldly denied it.

"My father’s name on my household register is not his, his last name is Fan, and mine is Chen; how could we be relatives? As for accepting his expensive gifts—that’s because he owed my mom money."

Suizi and Yu Jingting had thought ahead about Fan Gao’s shameless tactics.

"Do you have any evidence?" Liao Yong asked.

"You can call my Mom to confirm. Think about it, if he didn’t owe money, why would he send me these things? If anyone could just come over and claim to be my dad, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?"

Although Suizi’s words sounded a bit far-fetched, compared to Fan Gao’s claims, she was still more reliable.

For the sake of clarity, the police also contacted Chen Lijun in Beijing by phone. Chen Lijun’s statement matched Suizi’s.

Fan Gao still tried to argue that he was the biological father, but Suizi came out with decisive evidence.

Suizi’s blood type is B, but both Chen Lijun and Fan Gao’s are A.

According to the laws of genetics, two people with blood type A can’t have a child with blood type B.

In the face of strong scientific evidence, all excuses became pale.

Fan Gao’s words were no longer of any use. He had no choice but to confess his act of revenge by kidnapping Suizi.

Wang Cuihua was discharged from the hospital. Yu Jingting drove the tractor to pick her up and bring her home.

The house allocated to him had not been decorated yet, so the family still lived in the old house.

Normally, discharge from the hospital was a happy event. But because Wang Cuihua was worried about Shuisheng, she lacked energy and was listless.

Yu Jingting tried his best to cheer up his mother during the journey. As they neared home, they saw Suizi pushing a cart leading Jiaojiao standing at the door with a bitter face.

Yu Jingting found Suizi’s expression amusing. This girl always had a smiling and amiable face. What’s with her look today?

"Mom, look at my wife, doesn’t she look like a big bitter melon? Huh?!"

Yu Jingting’s gaze fell behind Suizi. His eyes widened suddenly, and his voice rose sharply:

"What the hell? What’s going on?!"
