I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: This is Possible?

"You want me to be buddies with that pauper scholar?!!" Yu Jingting exploded after hearing Suizi’s request.

"No way, I get annoyed just by seeing them prattle on all day, carrying that self-righteous air. Speaking to them could kill me."

"If you call him a pauper scholar, then what am I? You can’t just write off all scholars."

Yu Jingting shook his head like a rattle drum.

"No matter what you say, I won’t agree to it."

"Alright, I won’t force you. I guess I’ll just keep visiting his place. I don’t care if people gossip about me and him."

Yu Jingting narrowed his eyes.

"Trying to provoke me, huh?"

"Jingting, let me explain. He’s really a talent. Objectively speaking, I also bear some responsibility for his marriage with Lun Lamei."

Seeing that he was a bit angry, Suizi softened her tone. Yu Jingting was the kind of person who couldn’t stand a tough approach, so she couldn’t confront him directly.

"He willingly chose to marry that lump of stinky meat, Lun Lamei. Who’s to blame?"

Yu Jingting thought that any man with a slightly decent IQ wouldn’t marry Lun Lamei.

For this reason, he had reason to suspect that Suizi’s evaluation of Su Zhe was too high.

"There are some objective factors involved, but let’s look at the long term. Making friends like him would benefit our family, or even the nation, if we think further."

Talent should shine where it’s valued most, not be trapped in an awful marriage, lost amid all the mess.

Besides cherishing talent, Suizi also wanted to accumulate some connections for her family. It would be too late to curry favor with Su Zhe once he becomes famous, so now is the best time.

"There’s no discussion over this." Yu Jingting didn’t want to continue this topic.

Suizi steeled herself.

No pain, no gain.

Suizi gritted her teeth, putting on a brave face: (*￣︿￣)V

Yu Jingting squinted his eyes, clearly, a classic beauty trap was laid before him.

Having been in Yang Village for so long and being an invincible warrior all over the city, would Yu Jingting be easily fooled by a mere beauty trap?

With that thought, Yu Jingting decisively raised his hand and made a gesture of five.

"Five times, that’s when I’ll compromise."

"..." Suizi despised him for his lustful soul.

Fat Babe, held by her father, seized the opportunity of her parents bargaining and made a grab at the ice cream in Suizi’s hand.

With a big bite, the little one’s eyes squinted in delight.

While the parents were discussing topics inappropriate for children, they noticed their toddler secretly eating the ice cream. By the time they caught her, LuoLuo had already swallowed it and was happily waving her arms in celebration of her successful sneak attack.

"Ah! It’s all your fault!" Suizi turns her anger towards Yu Jingting, "What if our daughter gets diarrhea?"

"She’s not that delicate. It’s just a bit of ice cream." Yu Jingting spoke defensively, "Fine, let’s make it four times then."

Seeing the discount, he really was a good husband.

He immediately pointed at their son who was watching the commotion and scolded, "What’s your deal? You were closer to the scoop than your sister, how come you didn’t manage to snatch it?"

"Three times." Suizi coolly bartered, "You’ve been a bad influence on our son."

"!!!" Yu Jingting wanted nothing more than to slap himself. It felt great to indulge in verbal sparring, but having privileges cut by his wife was a bitter pill to swallow.

How many times they finally agreed upon could be seen from how Suizi was yawning and sporting dark circles under her eyes at work the next day.

Zhang Yue’e and others anxiously asked Suizi what was wrong, noticing her exhausted appearance.

Suizi thought for a moment and let out a faint sigh.

"I also made an outstanding contribution to national development and science."

She nearly broke her back convincing Yu Jingting to intervene, and she wasn’t sure if he could win over Su Zhe.

Given their personalities and educational backgrounds, it would be difficult for the two to find common ground. And with the awkward relationship between the two families and Lun Lamei, the stinking meat, as a medium, it would be nice not to be enemies, let alone friends. It was definitely not an easy task.

But Suizi had unexplained confidence in Yu Jingting, the super sociable man.

She had a strange feeling that as long as Yu Jingting tried his best, there was no one he couldn’t win over.

Based on her understanding of Jingting, in at most a week, he could progress the relationship with the Su family.

But Suizi never expected that Yu Jingting would strike up a conversation with Su Zhe after just one visit.

Such progress was beyond Suizi’s imagination. Given Su Zhe’s aloof personality, how could he chat with Yu Jingting on the first day?

"Tell me, how did you do it?" Suizi asked.

Yu Jingting stroked his chin, just about to make his signature "two times" gesture, Suizi anticipated his action and held down one of his fingers, leaving only one up.

She was already practiced in this bargaining game.

Although Yu Jingting was not very satisfied with her price reduction, he was still in a good mood as he told Suizi about it.

"I thought, since I want to be friends with him, I will show sincerity, so I brought over—"

"Some food and wine as gifts to win him over?" Suizi asked.

No, I brought over a suona. When they wouldn’t let me in, I just sat at the gate of their house and played."

"..." Suizi thought it was a miracle that this guy had made it this far in life without being beaten to death.

Not only did he sit at their gate and play the suona, but he also played off-key notes every time. To describe it as unbearable was an understatement.

Each note was heartbreaking and disturbing.

The neighbors were so annoyed that they could only call it torturous to the ears.

Due to the pressure from neighbors, Su’s mother had no choice but to carefully ask what his intentions were. Yu Jingting only said he wanted to befriend Su Zhe.

People who knew him acknowledged he was here to make friends. Those who didn’t know him thought the Su family had borrowed money at a high interest rate outside and the creditor hired a street guy to collect the debt in a novel way.

It’s not hard to imagine how annoying it must have been for the Su family to approach them in such a vexing way.

Lun Lamei, who was already scared to death of seeing Suizi, now saw Yu Jingting at her door, was so frightened she jumped over the wall and ran straight into the toilet, hiding inside and refusing to come out.

After blowing the suona for a while, Yu Jingting had the nerve to ask Su’s mother for a drink. Of course, he received a pair of rolling eyes as a response.

"So, did you then hit the old lady?" Suizi asked.

"Do you think I’m the scum who hits old women? If I hit her and she fell, wouldn’t we have to pay her medical bills? Even though we have money now, we can’t just spend it recklessly."

"So, what did you do?"

"I just leaned in and asked her, ’That nice old man you hang out with, can I call him over?’"

Then, Su’s mother gave in.

She obediently gave him a cup of tea, falling short of only going down on her knees and kowtowing to him.

With a sorrowful expression, she explained to Yu Jingting that it wasn’t her refusing him at the door, but Su Zhe’s strange temper. Plus, she and that old man really had nothing going on.

"Pfft, you’re such a bully." Suizi tried to imagine the scenario and found it amusing. But she was still very curious.

How did he manage to touch Su Zhe’s heart?

Yu Jingting slowly pulled out an item from his pocket. Suizi gasped: Really?!
