Chapter 543: Chapter 543 Suizi Turns the Tables

Yu Jingting had cigarettes in his pocket. Hearing his mother-in-law speaking this way, he knew she had some private words to say and she wanted him to leave.

He excused himself tactfully, as his Fourth Auntie also sat in front of the machine to make Kesi, the rhythmic sound of the machine perfectly shielded the conversation between mother and daughter.

Chen Lijun revealed her true intentions for dressing up Suizi.

"The woman who provoked you was supposed to leave after the New Year."

"Oh." Suizi knew that her mother was referring to Shen Liangyin, that annoying woman. It didn’t matter to her if that woman left.

"I used some tricks to keep her in this city. She would have received the notice by now, I suppose she’s overjoyed. I forgot to tell you that I transferred her to the brewery, to be Jingting’s deputy director."

"You’re not my real mother?" Suizi’s eyes widened.

Keeping that annoying woman near her man was not something a mother would do, right?!

"Fourth Auntie, look at this girl. Doesn’t she look like a little pufferfish when she’s angry? Look, her face has puffed up!" Chen Lijun, raising her voice slightly, poked Suizi’s face with her finger.

The Fourth Auntie glanced at Suizi sympathetically, feeling that Suizi was about to explode with anger because of Chen Lijun.

"Mom, what on earth are you trying to do? You know how much I hate her, don’t you? You know how she feels about Jingting——"

"I know, so what? If one Shen Liangyin leaves, there will be another Zhang Liangyin, Li Liangyin, or any other Liangyin... The higher a man’s status, the more women are around him. And you’ve got this one who is still young and not too experienced."

"What does her status have to do with me? She’s gone now, and you brought her to Jingting?!" Chen Lijun had just built up some goodwill with Suizi, but now she had completely extinguished it.

Sometimes, Suizi really couldn’t figure out what her mother was thinking. Her good temper always disappeared around her mother.

Chen Lijun knew how to hit people where it hurt, always stomping on other people’s sore spots. Even Fan Huang, a man with high status, would still be irritated by her, let alone Suizi herself.

"Who’s around him isn’t important, what’s important is that you must know who you are." Chen Lijun casually pointed at those new clothes.

"After New Year, you should wear these and strut around Shen Liangyin’s turf. If the condition allows, go there, if not, make the condition. If Yu Jingting can’t handle this kind of test, then find a new boyfriend. There are plenty of good young men at my disposal. You could have a blind date every day of the year and still not run out."

"I only want him! What young men, pah!" Suizi was so angry she turned to leave.

"Chen Hansui, is that all you can handle? You can’t even stand a few words. I told you last time I came, smart people don’t fall in love. Look at you now, risking your life for a man."

"I’m not!" Suizi snapped, she didn’t want to die, she wanted to live well!

"Emotion, is something smart people shouldn’t have. The more you invest, the more passive you will be."

"Just now you were calling him your good son, and now you’re telling me not to invest too much? Haha, how cold you are as a smart person." Suizi responded sarcastically.

"I would also teach Jingting this way, so he doesn’t focus all his attention on you but puts more effort into his career. In fact, I believe successful men shouldn’t be in a relationship before they’re thirty."

"Lijun, your way of educating your child is too radical. The environment nowadays is not like when you were young, it is much better, and there is no need to consider the issue of status——" Even the Fourth Auntie couldn’t stand it anymore.

Chen Lijun glanced at the scissors, and then at the Kesi she was making.

Resigned, the Fourth Auntie lowered her head, deciding to maintain her silence.

"I’m not you! Jingting is not Fan Hui, the times we live in are completely different. I can balance career and family in either hand and be a happy woman who is successful in both. Why do you insist on making me into a bitter, celibate nun?"

The Fourth Auntie who was listening secretly nodding like she was pounding garlic, agreed with the child’s words~

"Haha, managing a family? With what? You can’t even defeat Shen Liangyin, and you’re still dreaming of success in both career and love?"

"I’ve expelled her, isn’t that enough? If you hadn’t transferred her here, Jingting and I would be living peacefully now!"

"Oh, so expelling her is winning? How naive."

Chen Lijun held Suizi’s chin, forcing her to look into her eyes.

"She may have left, but has her heart? The distance between you and her is just a train ticket’s ride away. As long as she isn’t over Jingting, you’ll have to exhaust yourself. Even if she doesn’t come back, she can stir up trouble using others."

With every word Chen Lijun said, Suizi clenched her teeth a bit harder.

She was extremely angry, but at the same time, she also felt a sense of powerlessness because every word her mother uttered hit her where it hurt.

"Mercy cannot command an army, and righteousness cannot control wealth. Leaving an escape for the enemy is just asking for trouble. If this kind of trouble remains, forget about applying to Q University and B University, you’ll be busy cleaning up your backyard."

Suizi pursed her lips as Chen Lijun gave a slight smile.

"You’re not going to say that since Jingting’s heart is with you, you’re not afraid of these women, are you? Yes, he’s madly in love with you, but so what? A man’s love is the least reliable thing in the world. If you surrender initiative to him, you’d be putting your fate in someone else’s hands."

"Too biased, too biased~" The Fourth Auntie didn’t dare to look up at Chen Lijun and mumbled at her Kesi work, "I’m saying I’ve woven the flowers too haphazardly, don’t take this personally."

Chen Lijun patted Suizi’s face.

"I won’t tell you what to do, but if you’re my, Chen Lijun’s, child, you’d prove it to me. Don’t let a man hold the initiative, even if it’s Yu Jingting. I admire him a lot, but no matter how admirable the guy is, my daughter should still hold the cards. Do you understand?"

Chen Lijun’s pat was not light. It wasn’t exactly a slap, but it still made a sound, just painful enough to hurt.

Suizi’s furious emotions gradually calmed down after a few deep breaths, and her eyes soon became serene.

Chen Lijun’s eyes showed approval. She could feel that Suizi was much more mature than the last time they met.

She believed that Suizi now understood her intentions and knew what to do next.

Chen Lijun thought, according to Suizi’s character, she would probably speak to her in a sappy manner, maybe even with watery eyes, spouting sweet nothings.

However, after musing over it for a bit, Suizi looked up at her, her eyes filled with determination.

"Mom, the Fan Family is in trouble..... I guess, Master Fan, is he in critical condition?"

"How did you know?"

In Suizi’s beautiful eyes, Chen Lijun saw her own surprised expression.

Suizi’s lips curved up slightly, wasn’t the initiative now in her hands?

"Mom, I understand your point. I will completely deal with Shen Liangyin, and I will prove to you that Jingting and I are capable of facing future challenges. You don’t have to worry about me, the Fan family is insignificant to Jingting and me."

Chen Lijun was taken aback, this little rascal, she had grown wise! She understood her real intention so quickly, could she read minds now?!
