Chapter 468: Chapter 468: You Need a Ruthless Heart (100+ Monthly Tickets)

Yu Jingting was sleeping heavily.

He was in a drowsy state when he started to hear a buzzing sound near his ear, which gradually furrowed his brow.

Wang Cuihua sneaked into her son’s bedroom without turning on the lights. Quiet as a mouse, she leaned close to Yu Jingting and asked in a low voice:

"Has Jin Qu contacted you?"

"No..." Yu Jingting responded vaguely.

Wang Cuihua nodded in satisfaction.

She often used this trick when Yu Jingting was a kid, and it always worked well.

"In the future, you stay away from Jin Qu, understood? If I see you fooling around with her, I’ll break your legs!"

Yu Jingting in his sleep was probably annoyed by the buzzing noise. Just as he opened his eyes and was about to retort, Wang Cuihua had already swiftly switched on her flashlight.

In the dark room, a glowing face suddenly appeared—it seemed like a floating head at first glance.

Even the bold Yu Jingting was taken aback.

"Ah!!!"

After realizing it was Wang Cuihua, Yu Jingting was furious.

"Even as an old woman, do you have nothing better to do?!"

"Ha ha ha!" Wang Cuihua, successful in her prank, switched off the flashlight and put her hands on her hips in delight.

"This is to reinforce your memory so you won’t mess around outside!"

"..." If it weren’t for her being his mother, he would’ve kicked her right now.

When Suizi got off work, Yu Jingting grumpily complained to her.

Suizi covered her mouth.

Yu Jingting squinted his eyes.

"If you want to laugh, then laugh. Do you think I won’t see you laughing if you cover your mouth?"

Suizi’s shoulders shook twice before she dropped her hand.

"Sorry, I just couldn’t...ha."

She couldn’t help but laugh. His mother-in-law was simply hilarious.

"Chen Hansui, whose side are you on?! Even with her going too far, you’re laughing at my expense?! If I weren’t brave, her actions would’ve caused anyone else to have a seizure!"

"Well...but you’re not just anyone. Mom bothers you like this because she knows you too well. After all, you did eavesdrop on her, didn’t you deserve retaliation?"

In Suizi’s opinion, it was Yu Jingting who was initially unscrupulous by eavesdropping, therefore it was reasonable for his mother to retaliate.

Just last night, Yu Jingting got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and noticed a faint light seeping through the curtain of the eastern room when he returned.

Assuming his loathsome father was enjoying a post-coital cigarette, he decided to saunter over to the window.

Yu Shuisheng inside the room was smoking and humming a tune, while Yu Jingting joined in from outside, forming a father-son duet.

This led to a large scale father-son argument.

"I think the old lady is being bias. She appears to be worried about me making mistakes, but in reality, she’s just seeking revenge!"

Suizi nodded in agreement. Yes, it was indeed revenge.

"So——" A ruthless glimmer appeared in Yu Jingting’s eyes. He lowered his voice and said to Suizi, "How about we eavesdrop on them tonight and give them a surprise duet?"

"...If you dare to do that, our parents will retaliate jointly. When will the cycle of revenge ever end?"

Actually, even without Wang Cuihua’s scare, Yu Jingting was already avoiding Jin Qu.

Not just Jin Qu, but also Shen Liangyin, the passionate Factory Director of the Ice Cream Factory; he would avoid her whenever possible and act as if she didn’t exist when they met.

Suizi knew that Yu Jingting wasn’t the type to behave just because his mother-in-law scared him, so she became curious and asked why.

"I find them all quite dirty."

This response took Suizi by surprise.

"Shen Liangyin is so pretty." She has a nice taste in clothes too! Suizi had thought about it for a long time, even secretly buying books to study how to match clothes--of course, she would never admit it.

"I don’t find her attractive. No matter how nicely she’s dressed, she’s still dirty."

The "dirty" Yu Jingting referred to wasn’t about her physical appearance.

Suizi deduced from his comments that he must have the same emotional cleanliness as his mother-in-law, having an extremely poor impression of women who knowingly throw themselves at married men.

She was grateful for the values that his mother had instilled in him from a young age...

Considering this, she felt that her mother-in-law’s habit of waving a flashlight to scare Jingting wasn’t so terrible after all.

After all, without such an extreme upbringing, he wouldn’t have turned out to be the paradoxical character he was.

He appeared rebellious, but he was more conservative at heart than anyone else.

When Yu Shuisheng was presumed dead, all the ruthless men in the village wanted to bully Wang Cuihua. This was hard for the young Jingting to bear, and it directly influenced his later views on choosing a partner.

Suizi was the cleanest girl in his eyes.

Once she realized this, Suizi felt she should treat her mother-in-law even better.

Poor Jingting ended up not only failing in getting his wife to join him in playing tricks on his parents, but actually pushed her closer to his mother.

The next day, Jingting was surprised to see his wife out shopping with his mom.

Just an hour ago, he had called Suizi, hoping to invite her to try the new product from his factory, but Suizi said she didn’t have time.

Now, he was witnessing this gut-wrenching scene.

He never thought that his "rival" would be his own mother!

It seemed the two women had been on a shopping spree. They were strolling around, laughing and chatting, clearly not in a rush to return to their child.

Jingting could easily guess that his father had been cruelly abandoned and was probably moping at home while caring for the baby.

Thinking of his grumpy father forced to play the doting caregiver gave Jingting some perverse satisfaction.

He even felt slightly glad--

Even if his wife had abandoned him, at least she hadn’t dumped the baby on him!

Happiness, it seems, is always relative.

Jingting had initially planned to go up and greet them, but seeing all the bags in their hands, he changed his mind.

He knew he would only be summoned to carry their bags if he approached them.

Not wanting to join their game, he decided against carrying Suizi’s bags – a decision befitting his stubborn pride.

Real men have to be tough, especially in their hearts!

Pivoting on his heel, he sauntered into the grocery store, planning to buy some pork head meat and go home to drink with his poor father.

"Factory Director, Director Yu is over there, shouldn’t you go over and greet him?"

Across the street, two women stood watching as Jingting and Suizi’s mother-daughter outing unfolded.

It was Shen Liangyin.

She had witnessed all of the interactions in the Yu family.

She spotted Suizi shopping with her mother-in-law and also noticed that Jingting wasn’t looking for Suizi.

"There’s no need. Since he’s avoiding me, it’s best not to approach him too actively." Shen Liangyin was out with her secretary for a social engagement and happened to pass by.

"Isn’t that Director Yu’s wife? I saw her at night school. What’s going on with them? They didn’t even greet each other across the street. I thought everyone said Director Yu had a great relationship with her? Heh, I’m not so sure."

The secretary knew about Shen Liangyin’s small crush on Jingting, hence always tried to say things she would like to hear.

Shen Liangyin smiled gently, relaxing her eyebrows. She liked what she was hearing.

"Even the best relationships can get stale after a while."

Shen Liangyin was sure that Jingting didn’t want to see Suizi, and the resentment she had been holding onto for days seemed to disappear.

Suddenly, she noticed something ahead. What was that?!
