Yu Jingting’s words piqued Suizi’s interest.

"What? Give me a hint so I can guess too."

"You guess, which branch of the Fan Family does this Fan Hui belong to?"

"Let me think..."

Suizi began calculating on her fingers.

To her knowledge, the Fan Family had four branches.

Among the Fan Family members she had met, the most disappointing was Fan Gao, the youngest of the fourth branch, a marginal figure with no hope.

Fan Hua, whom Yu Jingting had met when he was working at the tobacco company, was from the third branch and was also not doing very well.

The notorious Fan Huang, who had an unclear relationship with her mother, was the eldest son of the main branch and was generally seen as the fierce successor of the family.

Even though she had heard a lot of stories about Fan Huang from others and knew he was a really influential figure,

Considering the details of how he was hounded by her mother to seek Suizi’s help, Suizi held reservations about Fan Huang’s actual capabilities—at least this great figure was not as wise as rumored in matters of the heart.

Moreover, recalling how Fan Huang’s glasses were smashed by one punch from Yu Tieshan, Suizi was even more convinced that the rumors were not that reliable.

Regardless, the main patriarchal line of the Fan Family was the strongest.

"I guess, Fan Hui is either from the second or the third branch. I’d hazard he’s more likely from the third branch. Just look at how superstitious Fan Hua from the third branch is—this stuff is hereditary."

Given that this Fan Hui once had a romantic history with her mother and might even be Suizi’s biological father, Suizi’s guess seemed extra cautious.

Yu Jingting smirked triumphantly.

"Heh, my initial thought was similar to yours, but alas, it’s not quite that. Fan Hui is Fan Huang’s younger brother, his actual, blood brother!"

Briefs!

Thunderstrike on a sunny day!

Like being struck by lightning, Suizi was left speechless with her mouth agape.

Yu Jingting burst into laughter at her expression.

Indeed, the shock couldn’t be his alone.

His little wild pig was also stunned.

"This?!" Suizi didn’t even know what to say. She claimed to be intelligent, but this matter was so dramatically shocking, it surpassed her expectations!

"I had almost the same reaction as you when I first heard it from the director. I couldn’t show it, but I was truly shocked inside. It unintentionally brought back thoughts of the makeshift field dramas performed in the village years ago."

"What was the content?"

Field dramas were dominated by duet comedies, full of humor and unique charm.

But Chen Lijun didn’t let Suizi listen. As a woman with a high standard, Chen Lijun looked down on these things. She’d rather sing Beijing opera at home for Suizi than let her join the crowd at the field dramas.

"’What Happened Between My Step Brother and Me!’ Ah, you should’ve seen it, mate. I still remember it now. Shall I sing you a few lines?"

"Please, spare me!"

Suizi made a stop sign with her hand. Just hearing the name, she knew there wouldn’t be any decent lines.

Her mind was full of her parents’ past. Although she didn’t know the specifics, just from hearing the shocking title that Yu Jingting mentioned—"What Happened Between My Step Brother and Me"—she could already piece together a complete plot in her mind!

"So, initially my mother was dating their younger step-brother. Then, because the step-brother, who was a jerk, bragged to others about making out with other female students while sitting on a haystack, my mother got so mad she burnt the haystack. After that, she married Chen Kaide. After returning to the city, she took down the elder step-brother?!"

Suizi inhaled sharply, she seriously doubted that her mother’s life was a drama-filled script!

If this were a novel, wouldn’t it read, "If I can’t have you, I’ll become your sister-in-law?!"

"It’s probably something like that, but it’s also possible that our mom had an affair with Fan Huang back then."

"Watch your mouth. Although my mother might be a bit liberal when it comes to relationships... She’s definitely not the kind of woman who juggles relationships!"

"Wife, do you realize you have a habit? When you’re nervous, you blink rapidly, and you stutter!"

"I-I don’t!" Suizi responded, blushing. She couldn’t control the stuttering.

She didn’t hold much confidence.

Chen Lijun was a very rational woman, and a woman with a distinct personality. Once offended, there was no telling how she might retaliate.

If Fan Hui truly wronged her first, it was possible she might have made a pass at Fan Huang.

"It’s easy to resolve the mystery in your heart, just ask the old man and old woman of our family when Fan Huang came to Wangji Weizi. If he came after your mom had a falling out with Fan Hui, then it’s highly possible..."

Yu Jingting didn’t finish his sentence, but Suizi knew what he meant.

It’s highly possible that her mother really did hint at Fan Huang back then. So, who her real father was, is hard to say.

"The Director also revealed to me that this Fan Hui is currently a professor of fine arts at a certain university, quite accomplished in his field, but his personality is questionable. He has a bad reputation in the circle."

"In what way does he have a bad reputation?"

"His wife died of cancer last year, but everyone in the circle knows that it was his temperament that contributed to her death. Two months after his wife died, he got involved with his own female student, and a year later married another one of his students. It’s also rumored that he currently maintains a complex emotional relationship with other faculty members."

It took a moment for Suizi to process all this complex person-to-person relationship, almost muddling her mind.

Just how many women has this man messed with?

"How could my mother have possibly liked such a shameless scumbag who can’t keep his pants up?"

Yu Jingting shrugged.

"Who doesn’t have a foolish youth? Don’t go by Fan Hui’s character, but he is good looking. It’s rumored that many women liked him back in the day. Even at such age, he can marry a female student younger by a generation, he certainly has some charm."

After finishing, he self-admiringly stroked his hair and smugly said, "Like me, a faithful and good man who is infatuated with one single little wild pig and combines both good looks and capability in one, is really rare. Wife, in your choice of men, your vision is much better than your mom’s."

"Thanks but no thanks, you tricked me into coming home. I passively ended up liking you."

Yu Jingting gripped her waist and tightened his hold. His eyes became dangerous, as if he was ready to bite her any moment out of anger.

Overwhelmed by fear of being bitten all over by this man, Suizi quickly changed her tune.

"But, even if I had a lot of choices, after seeing the world, the one who suits me best would still be you."

Hmm, this phrase sounded pleasing. Yu Jingting nodded, but soon realized something wasn’t quite right.

"You still want to see the world?! Is your gallbladder getting fatter?!"

Busy serving him food, Suizi flattered and praised him, primarily applauding his heroic charms. Yu Jingting barely pacified, yet secretly took note of her previous words.

Oh, just wait until tonight...when the kids are asleep...hahaha!

"Although my mom firmly said that Fan Huang is not my dad, given my understanding of her, she would not have children for a seedy man."

Suizi, who was completely oblivious of being "remembered" by Yu Jingting, was still seriously analyzing the situation.

Now knowing that Fan Hui was a complete scumbag through and through, how could her mother possibly have his child?

"However, regardless of what the truth is, one thing is certain," Yu Jingting said.
