Chapter 403: Chapter 403 Tiegen is a Big Deceiver

Suizi’s face changed from light pink to bright red in less than a minute.

Compared to her, Yu Jingting stayed silent for only five seconds before he started laughing.

He casually draped his arm over Adam’s shoulder, patting it firmly a couple of times.

"Buddy, your Chinese is pretty good."

His friendly demeanor could make anyone think he and Adam were long-lost brothers.

At this, Du Zhong had to admit to himself that he admired Yu Jingting’s unabashed bravado.

"My grandmother was born and raised in Beijing, and I grew up with her, so, you know, simple conversation, I can do."

Suizi’s face flushed even redder.

Sister Li looked on sympathetically at Suizi.

Although she and the others in the room didn’t know what Suizi had translated, the approving looks the other foreigners were giving her suggested she had said something very appropriate.

Sister Li felt Suizi, who was highly educated and an extraordinary translator, was the most pitiful child, having run afoul of Adam, who played the fool to catch the wise.

As everyone was worrying about how Suizi could save face, the social star Yu Jingting, had already offered up the best answer.

"Wifey, what did I say again?"

"Eh, you said so much... which part do you mean?"

The staged shots at the Newspaper Agency?

Calling Du Zhong a foolish groundhog?

Addressing Adam as a roasted sweet potato and commenting on his weight?

All Suizi wanted now was to forget the past, as life had already thrown many storms her way...

"You forgot, huh? I told you before, Mr. Adam seemed like a foreign body with a Chinese spirit. Look at him, what do you see?"

Yu Jingting’s hand moved up and down from Adam’s head to his chin, presenting Adam’s head like a showpiece.

"This is the manifestation of wisdom, a symbol of talent, and let me tell you—"

With that, he started making fingers gestures in the air, nodding as he played along.

"Exactly, yes, that’s it."

In this surreal moment, he managed to totally baffle Adam.

No one knew what Yu Jingting was up to, but Suizi felt a gradual sense of relief and her face wasn’t as hot as before.

Suizi’s attention was wholly on Yu Jingting and she didn’t notice her daughter Luoluo, in her arms, secretly imitating her father’s antics. Even Bobo, who had been watching the commotion from the stroller, was all eyes.

The offspring of the Yu Family, when it came to skills of trickery, were clearly ahead of the game.

"What are you saying?" Adam was stumped by Yu Jingting’s calculations.

"I had calculated earlier that your appearance was of someone who could speak Chinese, but my wife didn’t believe it. So I bet with her that if she translated my words more artfully and tested you, see, you do speak Chinese!"

If the sudden outburst of Bejing dialect by Adam had rendered everyone speechless just a moment ago.

Now, they were speechless again, but this time due to the impudence of Yu Jingting.

Adam had a nagging feeling that Yu Jingting was tricking him.

The other foreigners who didn’t understand Chinese saw their gesturing and talking, especially Yu Jingting’s body language, and grew curious. Unable to understand, they asked Suizi what the two meant.

Suizi gave up trying to keep up with this charade and said, "My husband is discussing mysterious Eastern mystic theories with Adam."

The foreigners showed their respect.

Though they didn’t understand, the professional finger gesture calculations made them believe that Yu Jingting was indeed a pro!

Getting a firsthand experience of this mystical Eastern power, they couldn’t take their eyes off him. The language barrier made Yu Jingting appear all the more formidable.

With a glance, Suizi knew her husband had successfully fooled everyone.

Only Adam was left suspicious.

"You really calculated that I could speak Chinese?"

"Of course. Ever heard the saying ’Destiny converges, calamity is imminent’?"

"What?" Adam was utterly bewildered.

He didn’t understand a word of these obscure and hard-to-understand phrases.

Suizi looked down, not letting anyone see her expression.

In her arms, Luoluo clearly saw her mother’s lips twitching suspiciously and her shoulders shaking slightly.

Suizi was trying to suppress her laughter.

Yu Jingting was rattling off fortune-telling terminology.

Forget about Adam who grew up overseas, even locals wouldn’t understand most of it.

Sister Li and others were completely clueless, unable to make out what was being said.

Suizi only knew these terms because she had lived with Wang Cuihua who would often blabber such phrases.

Seeing that Adam didn’t understand, Yu Jingting’s mischievous heart was now at ease.

Now he would just free-style it.

After his long fortune-telling spiel – never mind whether it made sense – his priority was to hold Adam’s attention.

Besides Suizi, who knew he was up to no good, everyone was taken in by his bluff.

"You’re thirty-eight this year, not so good, it’s a hurdle, but there’s a benefactor in your life. Think about it. Isn’t it so?"

Adam was completely taken in by Yu Jingting and kept nodding his head in agreement. It was so accurate!

The heart attack he had suffered yesterday, wasn’t that the hurdle?

Wasn’t Yu Jingting, who had saved him, his benefactor?

"They say inland China is full of talented and wise men. Now I truly believe it. You not only calculated that I can speak Chinese, but also predicted a crisis in my life!"

Adam, overwhelmed by emotion, held Yu Jingting’s hand.

The other foreigners gave a glance at Suizi, waiting for her translation.

"They are discussing the eternity of friendship."

Suizi sighed quietly, looking down.

What has a decent engineer been deceived into by Yu Jingting?

"Brother Jingting! If you could deduce so much, can you calculate my future fortune?" Adam looked at Yu Jingting with admiration.

"The future holds risks and fortune. In short, there are minor obstacles, but the overall trend is upward. To keep your good fortune, you need to accumulate virtue and do good deeds."

Such as check the machines at the beer factory and medicine factory for free?

Yu Jingting, with his fortune-telling knowledge, had not only averted danger, but also scored some free technical work.

Adam left the Yu Family clutching the "Symbol of Friendship" - a bottle of Erguotou liquor and slimming medicinal herbs. His mind was filled with thoughts of the ageless East and its mystical power. Truly a sight to behold!

The likes of Sister Li had also been quite flummoxed. If they had not come with a task, they too might have wanted Yu Jingting to do a fortune-telling reading for them.

Yu Jingting’s fame had been sealed.

Everyone had left, except for Du Zhong who was still there for a free meal.

Seeing Yu Jingting with his eyes closed again, as if calculating something, Du Zhong respectfully asked,

"Jingting, what is it that you’re calculating?"

Could it be some sort of divine secret?

"I’m figuring out how you plan to repay me for the favor you owe me." Yu Jingting revealed a smile, like a cat after a fat canary.

Du Zhong was stumped. Suizi chuckled.

However, after just a few seconds, Suizi’s laughter died out.

Yu Jingting was triumphant: (￣▽￣)V

Helping his wife out of a tricky situation just cost him two poetry and literature discussions in the dark. He felt like he had more than a fair deal.
