I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 526: I’ve Been Wanting to Deal With You

Chapter 526: Chapter 526: I’ve Been Wanting to Deal With You

"The old house is on fire, it can’t be saved."

Yu Jingting had said this to Suizi before.

Burning love in middle-aged people is like an old house on fire; if it doesn’t get ignited it’s fine, but once it does, it’s basically impossible to put out.

"I know." Suizi thought he was speaking about Fan Huang’s affection for Chen Lijun.

Based on Fan Huang’s behavior just now, he did seem to have deep feelings for her mother.

For such a restrained man, the only time she saw his emotions fluctuate was when Yu Jingting tricked him with the question "how to get along with Chen Lijun".

Suizi could feel that Fan Huang really wanted to hear the answer, he genuinely wanted to get along with her mother.

"In all probability, you’re going to have a father soon."

"???" Suizi’s eyes were filled with question marks.

Where did he get this idea from? Why couldn’t she feel it at all?

"My mother hasn’t agreed yet?" Suizi said. Isn’t this Fan Huang courtship one-sided?

Yu Jingting whispered in her ear:

"If she didn’t agree, how could she have let Fan Huang come to see you? I even think our mother intentionally tingled your hopes, letting you meet."

Suizi’s expression went from dazed to incredulous.

She stood up abruptly, slamming the table.

"Yu Tiegen, you saw this coming ages ago and are only telling me now?!"

"Don’t transform external conflicts into internal struggles, okay? I was just observing, and trying to guard for you, wasn’t I?"

Yu Jingting spoke righteously.

Upon comprehending this, Suizi seemed to acknowledge his logic.

Despite this, she was still furious.

It felt like everyone knew what was going on, but she had been kept in the dark.

"I’m not eating anymore, let’s go!" Suizi stood up. She admitted that she was feeling a wave of unexplained anger and wanted to go home and rest.

"Aren’t you going to say goodbye?"

Yu Jingting had almost forgotten the last time his wife was this angry.

"No need."

Suizi just wanted to leave quickly now. She felt like a fool.

"There’s a guy in our factory whose situation is quite similar to yours. His mum died a few years ago, and his dad wants to remarry. Every day he would roll around in front of his father’s office."

"Rolling around?! Like me?!" Fire was now directed at Yu Jingting.

"Yes, well, that kid is 6 years old."

Great, not only does he compare her to a brat, but he also implies she might as well be just 6 years old!

"Yu Tiegen, you’ve offended me. I don’t want to talk to you right now!"

Suizi stood up and started to walk away, bumping into Fan Huang as he was returning.

"What happened? You haven’t finished eating yet." Fan Huang had just managed to calm himself when Suizi, who seemed ready to explode, returned.

"I’m feeling a little unwell, so I won’t be keeping you company. I won’t interfere with the matters of my elders, but I retain my right to my own opinions."

After saying this, Suizi left without taking notice of Fan Huang’s expression.

"Retain one’s opinion" in this context, quite bluntly put, means: I’m not fond of you at all, yet I’m not going to voice it out directly.

Yu Jingting followed behind Suizi, helplessly shrugged his shoulders at Fan Huang.

"Sorry, women have a few days each month when they can’t control their temper."

"Yu Jingting! What are you waiting around for?!" Suizi shouted at him through gritted teeth.

Yu Jingting hurriedly followed her.

Fan Huang saw Meng Jun stationed at the door. He shook his head.

He didn’t hear anything. The two inside were whispering to each other.

They just..... Began quarreling for no reason.

Seeing this, Fan Huang could only watch helplessly as Suizi and Yu Jingting left. He felt as if he had come in vain this time.

He gained absolutely no recognition from Suizi, and even managed to infuriate her for no reason.

He thought he would leave empty-handed, but unexpectedly, he bumped into Suizi again on his way to the train station later that night.

"Stop the car." Fan Huang saw a man and a woman up ahead fighting. The woman seemed to be Suizi.

"Boss, we’ll miss our train soon." Meng Jun reminded.

He also noticed the fight up ahead, but he didn’t think it was Suizi.

This place is completely in the opposite direction from Suizi’s house and it was time for night school students to leave. Suizi couldn’t possibly be out alone at this time of night, so far from home. It was probably just someone who looked similar.

After Suizi and her husband left, Fan Huang drank to drown his sorrows and was still feeling the alcohol. Meng Jun was concerned his boss might come off worse in the altercation.

"Stop the car." Fan Huang repeated again. The chill in his eyes made Meng Jun not dare to argue.

The driver stopped, and Fan Huang ran toward where the man and woman were fighting.

Meng Jun laughed even as he broke into a run to follow. He thought his boss had the heart of a knight, but not the physique to back it up.

Ordinary people shout in outrage and do nothing, but his boss, after shouting, gets beaten up... What’s the point!

Fan Huang, still feeling the effects of the alcohol, saw a man and woman struggling in the alley.

The woman was indeed Suizi!

The man who was grabbing her was around fifty, dressed in shabby clothes, of medium height, average-looking - he blended into the crowd to the point of being invisible. He looked like an ordinary farmer.

The two were locked in a struggle. The older man was forcefully pulling Suizi’s hair, seemingly trying to knock her out.

Although Suizi usually appeared gentle and reserved, she fought hard in the face of danger. She relentlessly kicked at the old man’s vital parts, making him scream and release her.

"Let her go!" Fan Huang yelled.

The old man was startled as he didn’t realize anyone else was there.

Suizi, too, was panicked. When she looked up to see an angry Fan Huang, she immediately felt a wave of immense gratitude.

Having someone extend a helping hand in times of crisis brought them closer.

"Mind your own business. I’m dealing with my own daughter!" Chen Kaide paused upon seeing another man, evidence of his timid nature.

He was always hostile toward Suizi, had even covertly hit her years ago, but faced with another man, he lost his confidence.

"He’s not my father! I don’t recognize him!" Suizi quickly ran to Fan Huang’s side. Even if she knew that Fan Huang was not physically strong, having someone to help her in a time of crisis was a great comfort.

"You are... Chen Kaide?" Fan Huang squinted, trying to recognize him.

The two were of the same age, but Chen Kaide seemed a generation older. When Fan Huang thought of this decrepit man living under the same roof as Lijun for so long, he grew irate.

"You recognize me?" Chen Kaide sensed the regality of the man before him and realized he’s not ordinary, but he couldn’t recall ever meeting such a man.

"I’ve wanted to punch you for a long time." Fan Huang started to unbutton his coat. He was getting ready to fight this scoundrel!

Seeing this, Suizi reached out to stop him.

"Are you siding with him?!" Even in his slightly intoxicated state of mind, Fan Huang confused Suizi for Chen Lijun, and shouted at her in heartbreak.

This scene had probably played out in his mind many times - if he and Chen Kaide were drowning, who would Lijun save?

"I’m afraid you’ll lose!"

Suizi had witnessed Fan Huang’s fighting capabilities first hand before. A scholar that could be knocked out with one punch, how could she dare to imagine him fighting with Chen Kaide? Why wouldn’t they flee, rather than waiting around to be beaten up?
