Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Outsiders are tigers (Updated with 350+ monthly tickets)

Upon hearing Shen Liangyin’s insinuating remarks, Suizi underwent a mental struggle.

She was torn between confronting her directly or pretending not to understand.

Rationality told her she should take the latter approach, engaging with Shen Liangyin gradually.

But emotional disgust made Suizi unwilling to drag it out, preferring a swift confrontation.

Shen Liangyin did not expect that the seemingly mild Suizi could speak such powerful words, striking right at the heart of the matter.

"About work, I would appreciate it if you could persuade Director Yu more. Opportunities are rare; there’s no need to ruin important matters over romance."

"Not all romantic involvement affects one’s career. A good relationship can serve as motivation for both participants. But I suppose that’s a bit obscure for you, Shen, who is neither married nor in love. That’s okay, take your time looking, you’ll find the right person."

Shen Liangyin’s eyes cooled, her gaze filled with undisguised hostility as she turned and left.

Suizi chuckled softly.

"Young woman, you don’t even want to say goodbye to me."

Yu Jingting kept on sewing absentmindedly, his eyes never leaving the glass.

He didn’t know what the two women were saying, but he could tell from their subtle expressions that his wife wasn’t at a disadvantage.

Suizi was filled with frustration. Shen Liangyin had one face for her and another for Yu Jingting.

Her intentions were so obvious that even a fool could see through them.

Previously, Lun Lamei had mentioned that the director of the Ice Cream Factory, Shen Liangyin, had publicly expressed interest in Yu Jingting.

Suizi was skeptical at the time because Lun Lamei was not trustworthy.

Today Shen Liangyin exposed her true intentions very clearly. She launched a series of blows at Suizi, and Suizi might have been led by the nose if she wasn’t experienced.

This anger was reaching Suizi’s throat and could explode at any moment.

"What were you two talking about? She looked unhappy, haha." Yu Jingting asked for gossip as soon as Suizi entered the room.

Suizi was originally frustrated with Shen Liangyin, but hearing his uninhibited laughter somehow steadied her heart.

The current situation was of unrequited love, and her husband didn’t seem to notice Shen Liangyin’s affection for him.

Suizi quickly regained her composure. Since he didn’t notice, she couldn’t remind him.

"She insinuated insults at you."

Yu Jingting stopped sewing. "I had a feeling she’s no good."

Suizi almost laughed at his misinterpretation but she held it back for the sake of realism.

"What exactly did she insult me with?"

"She first questioned your management skills, then tried to provoke me by saying that I didn’t willingly marry you. There’s a good chance that.."

"Damn it! Is she trying to steal you away?!" Yu Jingting jumped to conclusions.

Considered his wife a gem, she would be a great asset to anyone in any position. He had known that the Shen Family weren’t trustworthy, but he didn’t expect them to be so malicious!

"Just to pry you away, they’re willing to sabotage our life?!"

Suizi nodded, barely suppressing her laughter.

"Yes, I can’t understand why she’s so nasty. She even investigated us. Where else could this information come from?"

"The audacity." Yu Jingting started to curse.

Suizi’s heart was completely at ease.

Her guess was correct. Yu Jingting would never tell anyone about their relationship.

Shen Liangyin deliberately made those remarks to cause a fight between Suizi and Yu Jingting. Once Suizi started a fight, Shen Liangyin would have the chance to comfort him and pretend to be gentle.

This trick, which Yang Jinhuan wanted to use on Yu Shuisheng, was thwarted by Suizi.

Now with a different strategy, they were attempting to win Suizi over. The wording might vary, but the core technique was the same.

"Maybe they think we don’t have common ground due to our different education levels. She also said - never mind, I better not tell you, it’ll make you angry."

"Tell me!" Yu Jingting was fuming.

"She mentioned that her father’s work unit has many excellent young men."

"Damn!"

Yu Jingting threw down his needle, ready to leap up.

Shen Liangyin probably hadn’t left the village yet. He was ready to go over there and kick her into a pigpen!

His hard-won wife hadn’t even warmed up to him, and there were already people trying to steal her away?!

"So that’s why she hypocritically came over from the city, she’s trying to impress you?"

Suizi nodded, wondering to herself, was she being too manipulative?

These tricks were originally used by Shen Liangyin and Yang Jinhuan, and Suizi was using them to her advantage.

Since the prospective mistress aimed to sow discord, she would do the opposite.

Take the high road and leave the foes with nowhere to go!

"Don’t go, a grown man fighting a woman doesn’t look good. We’ll beat her fair and square in business."

The tactic of a first wife fighting a mistress doesn’t hinge on laying a hand on men. Getting physical and causing a scene would be handing a gift to the enemy. Suizi’s first step was to erode Yu Jingting’s trust in Shen Liangyin.

Once this groundwork was laid, whatever Shen Liangyin said afterwards, Yu Jingting wouldn’t listen. Once a solid impression was formed, it was hard to change.

"See what she got you?" Yu Jingting grudgingly picked up the bottle, annoyed at the attention his wife was drawing.

Suizi unraveled the package Shen Liangyin had left behind to reveal an exquisite bottle of perfume.

Not many people used perfume during those times, and it wasn’t cheap, so typical households wouldn’t buy it.

Giving Suizi perfume was a double insult.

It not only insinuated that Suizi was a country bumpkin but also disgusted her.

If Suizi kept the perfume and used it daily, Yu Jingting would be reminded that it was a gift from Shen Liangyin every time she used it.

If Suizi threw away the perfume, disregarding such an expensive item would give her husband the impression that she was jealous and unreasonable.

One gift brought with it so many implications, presenting an apparent unsolvable dilemma.

Unfortunately for Shen Liangyin, she was dealing with Suizi, rendering this tactic entirely useless.

After Suizi manipulated Yu Jingting’s feelings, his attitude towards the perfume bottle changed drastically.

"Damn it! Are they considering me dead?! Making you doll up for other men to see?!"

He was about to throw the bottle of perfume when Suizi quickly grabbed it. Yu Jingting’s eyes flared up in anger.

"Chen Hansui, you want to keep it?!"

"It’s quite expensive, why don’t you sell it? Perhaps we can exchange it for some money to buy eggs for you to eat. That would give you a good protein boost..."

The last sentence was laden with insinuation and it instantly appeased Yu Jingting.

He felt that the women outside were ne’er-do-wells while his own wife was gentle and virtuous.
