Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Don’t Hold Too Much Hope for Me

"Your mother already told me. The Fan family always believes in things that are true or false. If it weren’t for protecting Suizi, you wouldn’t have thought of recognizing these relations."

Although Yu Shuisheng hasn’t been back for long, he sees things through.

When Wang Cuihua dragged him out today and told him what had happened over these years, Yu Shuisheng quickly figured out the connections.

A father knows his son best, and he can accurately predict his son’s actions.

The Fan family brought too much uncertainty to Suizi.

If more people like Fan Hua and Fan Gao were to appear, given Yu Jingting’s current social status, he might not be able to handle them.

Forming an alliance with Fan Huang, regardless of whether he is Suizi’s biological father, given the relationship with Chen Lijun, he won’t put Suizi in danger again.

Fan Huang came during the New Year. Yu Jingting judged that he had enough sincerity and didn’t mind leading him on.

"I know what you’re going to say, and I won’t go." The smoke exhaled by Yu Jingting was quickly blown away by the wind.

"On my turf, regardless of how great the power of the Fan Family is, it won’t work. With your skills, it’s not difficult to make a comeback."

Although Yu ShuiSheng has returned, as long as he is willing to go back, it wouldn’t be difficult to regain his former territory.

The rumor that Yu Jingting was a freeloader also reached Yu Shuisheng’s ears. As a father, naturally, he was not pleased.

As for wealth, their family is not lacking either. If he hadn’t voluntarily given up the resources over there, would his son, Yu Shuisheng, be interested in working as this lowly factory director?

"I can also do just as well now, it’s all the same to me wherever I am." Yu Jingting patted his father. "Old man, you’d be better off worrying about me than replenishing yourself."

"Huh?"

"So you won’t collapse on my mother due to exhaustion, and miss how well your son will do in the future. My wife said, I could have a super expensive luxury car in the future."

"Damn." Yu Shuisheng stood up and kicked him.

That smart-mouthed brat, it was unnecessary to worry about him.

"By the way, dad, I want to ask you something. Do you remember when Fan Huang came to our village?"

"Are you trying to get your mother to kill me?"

"Oh, is our Fourth Master afraid of his wife? Never mind, I get it. If you’re afraid of your wife, then don’t say anything."

"Don’t try to provoke me. Do I look like a fool who can be tricked by your provocations?"

Yu Shuisheng took a deep breath and said in a seemingly unintentional tone:

"Anyway, just before your mother-in-law fell ill, we had just finished our harvest in the village. Hey, it was a busy year due to the bumper harvest, so many knowledgeable youths from other places came to help."

Yu Jingting instantly understood his father’s hint.

The educated youth from other places who came to help, must have included Fan Huang.

This meant that Fan Huang really could be Suizi’s biological father.

"Hey, dad, can you lend me some money? I will buy a gift for a meeting tomorrow. My wife definitely won’t spend money- hey hey hey, don’t leave! Come back, let’s discuss it! Dad, I won’t say you’re exhausted anymore! Dad, you’re always vigorous and energetic! In a good- ow!"

Yu Shuisheng came over and kicked him several times. Late at night, the shameless son’s shouts echoed in the courtyard!

He reluctantly took a few banknotes from his pocket and threw them on Yu Jingting’s face.

"Buy the most expensive gifts and don’t disgrace me...What car do you want to drive? If you dare, ask your wife for more pocket money. Stop boasting about what you can’t do."

Yu Jingting puffed on the banknotes and chuckled.

"My wife is studying accounting, so it’s safer for her to manage the money."

Yu Shuisheng disdainfully snorted.

If you’re afraid of your wife, just admit it; there’s no need to beat around the bush.

...

Suizi guessed that Fan Huang must be staying in the best guesthouse in the city, and thought it should be easy to find with a little inquiry.

But things were even easier than she thought; she didn’t even need to inquire, Meng Jun found her the next day.

"Our leader heard that you also like ancient books and was very happy. He felt that kindred spirits are rare, hence, he specially brought you two sets from Beijing."

Meng Jun handed over a bag, catering to her preferences.

Suizi initially wanted to express her high-minded spirit by declining in a polite manner, but when she took a look...

"You have these?!" Suizi’s eyes lit up.

She wasn’t even this excited when Fan Huang sent her gold bars before.

Although to others in the Yu family, these were just two worn-out books, the pages had turned yellow, and they were even bound with thread fearing that they might fall apart - even a scrap picker would only value them by their weight.

"These two sets of books were only lent to Director Chen to read. No one else was allowed to see them. Usually, our leader locks them in a cabinet. This is only because it’s you, it wouldn’t work with anyone else."

Seeing Suizi’s reaction, Meng Jun knew that he could report back successfully.

Seeing the ease with which his wife fell for books, Yu Jingting arched an eyebrow.

"Now that I’ve delivered the items, I have to go back. We have a train tonight."

"You’re leaving so soon?" Suizi lifted her gaze from the books.

"Yes, we accomplished our purpose for coming this time. There are also many things in Beijing. If we return late, Director Chen will definitely not be happy- Hey, why am I telling you this?"

Meng Jun purposefully let Suizi in on it then slapped his face, pretending it was a slip of the tongue.

Suizi couldn’t have misunderstood; they were trying to tell her indirectly that her mother and Fan Huang were not on bad terms. In fact, it seemed like they were going to spend the New Year’s together.

But Suizi was not easy to fool.

If Fan Huang was as deeply planted in her mother’s heart as Meng Jun claimed, why would he need to come all the way here to remind her of his existence?

Her fingers lightly brushed over the cover of the book. Despite being visibly attached to the book, she continued to keep her head down.

"I’ll accept the gift. Thank him for me."

Seeing her remain calm, Meng Jun couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious.

It was hard for Meng Jun to guess at Suizi’s thoughts. Her emotions were always well hidden. Every time he thought about her being just over twenty, Meng Jun would feel a shiver down his spine.

With such parents backing her up and given another ten years, she would make a name for herself.

But no matter how anxious Meng Jun was, he couldn’t let it show. He could only let Yu Jingting escort him out.

Yu Jingting noticed his anxiousness but didn’t offer a word.

Meng Jun took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, offered one to Yu Jingting, and lit it up for him.

"Director Yu, could you put in a few good words for Director Chen? Our leader came with great difficulty. If I just leave like this, it won’t be good."

Yu Jingting patted him on the shoulder:

"Such a valuable gift, it wouldn’t be right for us not to express our gratitude in person. So, I hope you can ask when Fan Huang would be available. This afternoon, I will take Suizi to pay a visit."

Meng Jun clapped his hands with joy.

"If you could make it happen, it would be a great favor- Can Miss Chen really go?"

"If she doesn’t go, should I counsel her? Of course, don’t hold too much hope for me. We can only do our best and leave the rest up to fate." Yu Jingting chuckled slyly.
