I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 503: The Ruthless Trio

Chapter 503: Chapter 503: The Ruthless Trio

Suizi and Yu Jingting stepped in, and Mr. Shen stood up from his chair.

"Director Xiaochen, I’ve been looking forward to your arrival. It’s been a while, I’ve missed you."

His greaseball attitude made Suizi feel uncomfortable all over.

"Yes, it’s been some days. Just yesterday, while talking with my husband, I said I hoped for happiness for your entire family, for fatherly benevolence, filial piety, and good health." Suizi responded with equal sarcasm.

Both sides shook hands, their laughter fostering an atmosphere of friendliness.

But what they were jabbering at each other internally after ending the handshake was anyone’s guess.

Mr. Shen played the part of a warm host, babbling a whole lot of irrelevant nonsense before getting to the point.

"My daughter is still young and naive, lacks tact, and has caused you trouble. I plan to transfer her, let her gain some more seasoning in another environment. We should not let this sour the relationship between our two families."

These words would sound like a sincere apology to anyone ignorant of the feud between the two families.

Suizi knew, Mr. Shen was wary of Fan Huang, fearful of offending people. He’d thrown this curveball to avoid addressing it directly. Instead, she asked a question for which she already knew the answer.

"Other things aside, Your daughter and her aunt have taken in a child named Jin Wa, who presently lives in my house. What do you think of this?"

"I had no knowledge of this. It was all her aunt’s idea, and my daughter was deceived by her. Her aunt is now out of town and we have no way to contact her. Why don’t you send the child to the orphanage?"

Mr. Shen’s comment didn’t surprise Suizi.

He’d used the same excuse with Liao Yong’s group.

He had dressed up Shen Liangyin as if she was innocent and then cleaned up his own house.

After running to Suizi and declaring Shen Liangyin’s transfer, it was clear he was protecting her. Once this storm passed, Shen Liangyin would be brought back, probably with a promotion, not a demotion.

The twists and turns within were all too clear to Suizi.

"Whenever there’s a problem, you conveniently know nothing. Yet when those two shameless women made a ruckus in my house, you knew all about it," grumbled Yu Jingting, just loudly enough for Mr. Shen to hear.

Here’s mutual nausea for you.

Mr. Shen’s eyes darkened at the comment, but considering Suizi’s backup, he didn’t dare to flare up.

"I should not disturb you any longer, we’ll find time to meet again in the future."

Mr. Shen didn’t visit to placate Suizi and her husband. He was putting on a show for Fan Huang, so as to prevent Fan Huang from giving him any more trouble in the future.

Wang Mengmeng, having dried her tears, saw Mr.Shen leaving and hastened to see him off. Suizi saw in Chang Ling’s eyes an urge to stab Wang Mengmeng.

Suizi and Yu Jingting followed him outside, and as they reached the door, "accidentally," Wang Mengmeng slipped and "happened" to fall into Mr. Shen’s arms.

Mr. Shen promptly held her.

Yu Jingting and Suizi simultaneously raised an eyebrow.

Yu Jingting even shot a glance at Suizi, his expression conveying a scolding: look at her, how good she is at vying for favor! Why don’t you learn from her?

Suizi silently rolled her eyes; she, who was the legit wife, saw no need to resort to such lower-class tactics.

Nevermind being held, even if she wanted, she could have Mr. Shen at any time. Why should she bother with such techniques?

From the side, Chang Ling watched as Mr. Shen and Wang Mengmeng embraced, her eyes darkened again, and Suizi could see within them the urge to stab someone..

Suizi couldn’t look away from this wordless drama: it was quite interesting.

Just as Mr. Shen held Wang Mengmeng for more than five seconds without letting go, their eyes locked in a daze, Chang Ling suddenly clutched her mouth and dry-heaved twice.

Mr. Shen immediately let go of Wang Mengmeng and turned to Chang Ling with concern.

"Xiaochang, what’s wrong?"

"I’m fine..." Just a second ago Chang Ling was wielding an imaginary knife with her gaze, and the next she was as weak as a thread. If one didn’t know better, they would think she was in the middle of a Lin Daiyu possession.

Suizi’s eyes widened in surprise, well, well, this sudden turn, very well played.

Yu Jingting narrowed his eyes at the sidelines, chuckling, "boring."

Two equally cheap women were openly and secretly competing for an old, bald man. Pathetic, and also vulgar.

He preferred seeing these two shameless women going at each other than watching his wife. Yu Jingting looked at Suizi and discovered her eyes sparkled when she watched drama.

Yu Jingting unexpectedly felt a little proud. It was only after she married him that Suizi gradually took interest in watching plays. Hmm, as the saying goes: "Those who accompany red will become red." His good Yu family tradition was indeed passed onto Suizi.

In less than five minutes, Wang Mengmeng and Chang Ling exchanged no words, but every action suggested a rich context. Suizi was dazzled, mentally inserting dozens of dialogues into these few minutes of "silent drama."

Only when Shen’s father and Chang Ling got into the car did Wang Mengmeng turn around, put her hand on her waist, and spat vehemently on the ground.

"Filthy vixen!"

"Uh..." Suizi was momentarily speechless.

What is this, a soon-to-be mistress despising the current mistress?

Wang Mengmeng has grossly overacted. With nothing confirmed, what right does she have to despise Chang Ling?

"The crow landed on the dog, not seeing its own blackness," Yu Jingting said.

"Isn’t it the crow lands on the pig?" Suizi asked.

"I have different feelings for pigs, and I can’t bear to associate them with such filth."

Even though small wild boars and domestic pigs are two completely different species, Yu Jingting felt the need to defend the character "pig." He couldn’t allow the likes of Wang Mengmeng to tarnish his sacred little wild pig spirit.

Unable to bear it anymore, Suizi gritted her teeth and heavily punched his belly with her elbow.

The young couple finished cleaning the office then officially started their afternoon off.

The elders at home had already prepared all the supplies for the new year, Suizi didn’t need to worry about anything. With nothing to do in the afternoon, she found herself in an elegant mood.

Grinding ink to practice calligraphy, the room was filled with an aroma of ink.

The two children were placed on chairs, watching their mother’s talents on display.

Yu Jingting brewed tea and stood next to her with the teapot, pretending to be cultured, giving comments from time to time.

"Hmm, this caterpillar crawls really well, hey, doesn’t this look like a willow leaf?"

Disturbed by him, Suizi almost wrote crookedly.

"Factory Director Yu, don’t you have to handle thousands of over-grown vines in your factory? Could you stop causing chaos at home?"

"Everything in the factory is in order, I don’t need to go there anymore. I think it’s more important that I supervise you to study hard—— add another stroke here, yes, then it’ll be symmetrical."

"...There is no such character!"

Finally, Suizi was deeply enlightened about how torturous it was for "an outsider to instruct a professional."

Comrade Yu Jingting is perfectly capable of running the factory, but when it comes to writing, he should just keep quiet.

Unsatisfied, Yu Jingting still wanted to give a few more pointers. Suizi wielded the brush and quickly drew a line on his right cheek.

Taking advantage of his astonishment, she drew again on his left cheek. Perfect, now it was symmetrical.

"You really need—" Yu Jingting tried to wipe the ink with his hand, only to smudge half of his face black when he saw the two little radishes beside him.

"Ha ha ha!"

Suizi and the children mercilessly laughed.

The little radishes didn’t understand what their mother wrote, but everyone understood the painted face of their father.

"Two!" Luoluo pointed at his father, Bobo thought for a moment, and also said, "Stupid!"

Suizi nodded in satisfaction. Yes, that’s a total idiot.
