Chapter 525: Chapter 525 Large-scale Social Death (Thanks to Rifle Bullet+ More Updates)

"You sure do call your mother quite affectionately," Fan Huang said.

"Of course I do."

Yu Jingting’s thick skin left Suizi in awe, even with a touch of envy – wasn’t he feeling pressured by Fan Huang at all?

"Did your mother tell you..." Fan Huang opened the box, saw the familiar object inside, and let out a slight smile.

"Didn’t she tell you that this was a gift from me?"

"..." Suizi was stunned.

So, she just picked the cheapest-looking one, and it turned out to be a gift from him?

She was witnessing her social death in full swing...she suddenly regretted coming here.

"At that time, I gave her three. This one should be the smallest," Fan Huang said.

He was only a step away from saying outright that it was the "least valuable".

Unexpectedly finding herself in this situation, Suiz’s words stuck in her throat as she didn’t know what to say.

"Well, isn’t this a coincidence?"

At such a crucial moment, Yu Jingting’s quick reaction was key.

"There’s a saying, four words something about a calf?" Yu Jingting looked at Suizi.

Fan Huang raised his eyebrows. Wasn’t that slang used for cursing?!

"Is it ’Return the jade intact to Zhao’?" Suizi asked.

Both Yu Jingting and Fan Huang nodded, these two little rascals, were they there to flaunt their affection in front of him?!

Without a doubt, Fan Huang has been completely outdone.

Yu Jingting’s nonsensical words, Suizi could actually interpret them!

This was something that could not be done without a deep understanding.

"What goes around comes around. What’s meant to be yours will be, no amount of force can change that," Yu Jingting said in a seemingly double entendre way, prompting Fan Huang to overthink.

Fan Huang couldn’t help but think that Yu Jingting was insinuating that currying favor with Chen Lijun by getting close to Suizi was going to be futile.

But, in fact, this was just Yu Jingting’s diversion tactic. He had no idea that the inkstone left by his mother-in-law for Suizi was actually a gift from Fan Huang.

While Fan Huang was brooding over Yu Jingting’s words, Yu Jingting started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I just realized how much you and my wife have in common. She also likes to have a slow pace of speech and a tendency to ponder before speaking."

A bang was heard at the door. Everyone turned to look, roughing it out, Meng Jun had a bunch of helmets full of food, looking scared out of his mind.

The sound was from one of the helmets he was carrying dropping on the floor.

Luckily, the food was still intact.

Meng Jun was frightened by Yu Jingting’s slow-paced speech comment.

Talking to the leader like this, isn’t it disrespectful? Meng Jun was shocked.

But what surprised him was Fan Huang’s reaction.

"Really?" Fan Huang laughed.

It wasn’t a polite laugh, nor was it a scornful one; it was a genuine laugh, from the bottom of his heart.

Meng Jun couldn’t remember the last time he saw the leader laugh like this — he rarely laughed when he was with Chen, as Chen always had a way of getting on the leader’s nerves.

"Yeah, look at her face — isn’t it just like yours?" Yu Jingting gestured towards the pondering Suizi.

Ever since she entered the room, Suizi had been thinking non-stop. When conversing with people at this level, every word needed to be carefully selected.

She and Fan Huang were essentially the same kind of person. Both were overly cautious.

But then they were thrown off guard by Yu Jingting’s meddling.

Suizi made a rare expression of surprise, Fan Huang paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Meng Jun was once again dumbstruck by the laughter.

Is this really a leader?!

The leader can actually laugh out loud?!

"I kind of understand now why Lijun admires you."

"Yes, mainly because I have a thick skin."

With Yu Jingting’s meddling, Suizi was no longer tense and laughed along with Fan Huang.

Fan Huang has seen a lot of those who’ll kowtow to authority, it’s rare to see someone like Yu Jingting, who without trying to please, manages to put him in a good mood.

Meng Jun set the dishes on the table and made an excuse to leave. Even if he had the courage, he wouldn’t dare to partake in the leader’s family feast.

With Yu Jingting present, the atmosphere wasn’t as tense. Fan Huang asked about Suizi’s work, and Suizi answered one by one.

The two earnestly inquired and answered, both being careful and not eating much.

Yu Jingting ate as if he was at home. After finishing most of his meal and hearing the two still discussing work, he couldn’t help but interrupt.

"Are you two holding a work meeting here? Do you have to discuss work at home?"

The awkward conversation between the two fell silent again because of his words.

After eating and drinking his fill, Yu Jingting began to take control.

"Is my mom doing well over there?"

"Not bad."

"She always shares the good news and keeps the bad to herself. Every time my wife calls her, as soon as she expresses concern, my mom rambles on and on. My wife is stubborn. She hangs up when she gets impatient, then regrets it afterwards."

"Oh?" Fan Huang perked up.

This topic is much better than discussing work.

"Don’t talk nonsense." Suizi’s face warmed slightly and she twisted his arm under the table.

"Have you experienced how my mom infuriates people?" Yu Jingting asked.

Fan Huang took a sip of his wine, his face unchanging, but he couldn’t help but complain inwardly. Yes, he had experienced it, she managed to infuriate him three times a day.

Seeing this, Yu Jingting secretly derived pleasure from it. As astute as he was, how could he not guess that the big boss in front of him, was so frustrated by his mother-in-law that he ran to find Suizi?

"My mom is fine in all aspects except that she has a knack for teasing others. One thing about her, the more she likes someone, the more she likes to tease them. If she dislikes someone, she can’t bother to speak to them."

For a detailed reference, one could look to Chen Kaide, who was treated as a tool by Chen Lijun. She treated him like air for many years, forcing him into the same roof with Lun Lamei. Otherwise, why would Kaide be so desperate to get close to a woman like Lun Lamei’s mother?

Fan Huang sat up straight. This topic, he liked.

"My wife is also quite special. She’s calm with everyone, but with her mother, she just can’t keep her cool. Mom saying a few words gets her angry, and she forgets the real issues. Then when she gets back home, she regrets getting mad, not saying what’s important."

Fan Huang almost slapped his thigh — isn’t this exactly like him?

"Actually, if you want to get along well with my mother-in-law, it’s very simple. Just — hey, Uncle, why aren’t you eating? Here, try this Sweet and Sour Pork, it’s a famous dish from Dongbei."

Yu Jingting enthusiastically handed Fan Huang some dishes, while Fan Huang anxiously waited for him to finish his sentence. But, he just stopped speaking.

This time it was Suizi’s turn to laugh.

Whetting one’s appetite, this street urchin is such a tease, but it’s charming to her.

"Try the chicken stewed with mushrooms. It’s a great dish. What’s that saying? ’When the son-in-law enters the house, the old hens lose their souls.’ Do you know why?"

Fan Huang didn’t want to know!

He only wanted to know how to get along with Lijun now, but this rascal just wouldn’t say it.

"I’m going to use the restroom." Fan Huang excused himself, needing to calm down.

Once Fan Huang left, Suizi burst out laughing.

Her rascal, how could he be so adorable?

However, Yu Jingting shook his head and sighed.

"What’s wrong?" Suizi was still thinking about Fan Huang’s expression before he left. She felt that coming here was worth it.

Seeing the big man deflated was such a joy.

"You can still laugh? Can’t you see it?"

"What?" Suizi was confused; what was he trying to say?
