I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 588: This Suizi Cannot Tolerate

Chapter 588: Chapter 588: This Suizi Cannot Tolerate

"Oh goodness, I’m dying of anger." Wang Cuihua exclaimed, clutching her chest while watching television.

Yu Jingting, who was being kept at home to study by Suizi, was trying to catch a glimpse of the TV show when he was abruptly pulled back by her.

"If you don’t finish writing and score less than 90 on this test, you’ll be sleeping with the kids tonight."

"Ah no, no, no!" Bobo, who was eating his snacks obediently by their side, started shaking his head wildly at his mother’s words.

"Damn it, are you both teaming up against me? You just wait, I’ll score a perfect hundred and dress up in ten different costumes to make you cry!"

Yu Jingting started writing furiously. As the head of the family, he had to regain his dignity, and there was no other way but to score a hundred.

Teacher Xiaochen was strict about rewards and punishments. If one scored above her requirements, she’d be highly cooperative. Otherwise, let’s just say one would have to sleep with the kids.

"You have an exam in a month, you’d better not read those comics of yours anymore."

"Did Shen Liangyin sneak off to tattle on me again? My dear, you can’t listen to the enemy’s whispers. She’s trying to sow discord between us. She’s still after me, I’m telling you."

Hearing that his secret habit of reading comics had been exposed, Yu Jingting’s teeth itched with anger towards Shen Liangyin.

"You’re becoming more shameless. She doesn’t even look at you now."

Recently, Suizi had been subtly influencing Shen Liangyin with her ideas, including some about seizing power and getting back at Shen’s father.

A woman’s IQ would increase noticeably when she’s not obsessed with love.

Currently, Shen Liangyin’s short-term goal was to make money and her long-term one was to replace her father. If she couldn’t gain his approval, she would just have to defeat him.

"Speaking of Shen Liangyin, did you say something bad about me to her? Why does she look at me that way?"

Yu Jingting narrowed his eyes. He had a strong suspicion that Suizi had been gossiping about him.

"Of course not, she figured it out all by herself...." Suizi averted her gaze to the side.

This confirmed Yu Jingting’s suspicions.

Not only did Suizi speak ill of Yu Jingting, but she also exaggerated his flaws, depicting him as the type no woman would ever like.

It was enough if only she knew about Yu Jingting’s good sides, there was no need to let others in on it.

A smart woman would never praise her man in front of her friends or close confidantes.

Thanks to Suizi’s manipulations, Shen Liangyin was now completely disinterested in Yu Jingting.

"Oh my goodness, what the heck is this about, it’s irritating me — Suizi, come here quickly, our comrade got killed by the people of Yueben Country on the show!"

Wang Cuihua called from the living room.

She was so absorbed in the TV show and feeling restless. She needed to rant to someone about it.

"Coming~" Suizi stood up, pointing at Yu Jingting, "You should finish your writing by the time I come back."

"Go ahead, your mother has been calling your name for a while." Yu Jingting sent her off enthusiastically.

As soon as Suizi left, he revealed a self-satisfied sinister expression, "Just wait, I’ll answer all the questions correctly and then tonight, you’ll be crying out and calling me daddy!"

Thinking about it made him even more motivated to study.

"Daddy?" Luoluo was curious.

"Ahem, it’s not what you’re thinking." Yu Jingting touched his daughter’s chubby cheeks. What he meant by ’daddy’ was different, it was a deep art only practiced in the dark, not suitable for kids to know.

"Ah..." Seeing his dad being routinely tricked by mom, Bobo sighed. He was used to his father’s dumb moments, but having such an apparently unintelligent dad could be quite stressful sometimes.

In the living room, Wang Cuihua was furious.

On seeing Suizi, she eagerly gestured for her to sit down and started telling her about the plot.

"Our dear comrade was just killed. It’s infuriating."

It’s just a TV show, Suizi thought. But she kept her thoughts to herself; no need to provoke her mother-in-law.

Her father-in-law had once said the acting was terrible and he was kicked out by her mother-in-law. Now he’s outside with Jiaojiao, jumping rope. And he’s not even allowed inside the house. It’s really too harsh.

"Exactly! No mercy at all!" At times like these, it was always safest to agree with her mother-in-law.

"Right? Look at this boy, so innocent-looking, you can tell he’s a good person."

The actor Wang Cuihua was talking about was Gong Xin.

He played a righteous comrade in the show and was very popular among female viewers.

"Mom, this actor actually visited our company today."

"What! Why didn’t you call for me! I wanted to see him too! Oh, if I had a son like him, he’d definitely be better than Tiegen." Wang Cuihua was excited.

"I think... maybe you’d better not see him..." Suizi initially didn’t want to comment on Gong Xin, but hearing her mother-in-law comparing him to Tiegen, she couldn’t help but speak up.

"Why not!"

"He just... doesn’t feel the same as his character in the drama. How do I put it ——"

Yu Jingting, who was writing his answers in the next room, suddenly pricked up his ears.

He was openly eavesdropping.

"To me, he doesn’t seem honest. He always flits his gaze around, unable to hold eye contact. If he occasionally meets your gaze, he’ll immediately shift it away."

"Maybe he is just shy?" Wang Cuihua, still fixated on Gong Xin’s noble character on the show, tried to defend him.

"No, it’s not shyness. He just doesn’t seem honest to me." Suizi’s ability to judge people was usually quite accurate. Despite Gong Xin’s polite behavior towards her, she always felt that he wasn’t somebody to be close with.

It was just a feeling, but she couldn’t put her finger on why.

"But you certainly didn’t say that in front of him. ’Mr. Gong, your characters are vivid and full of life, you shape your characters with richness and depth...’ blah blah blah~" Yu Jingting walked over and pointed at Suizi, mimicking her with his voice raised and his fingers posed delicately.

"When did I ever act as disgustingly as you just did?!" Suizi was infuriated.

"Well, you certainly complimented him." Yu Jingting sounded quite acid.

"Yeah indeed, he was invited by Uncle Fan. I had to be polite and give him a few compliments. Do you want me to say to his face, ’I don’t like the rat-like look in your shifty eyes, you remind me of the second-rate punk who hangs around our village’s entrance’?!"

Yu Jingting felt extremely satisfied by this and nodded in agreement.

"My wife truly has a knack for picking out people’s true nature."

He decided that starting from now until tomorrow morning, he would temporarily change his name to "Big Thing". Heh.

Wang Cuihua sighed, "I didn’t expect the actor to be so different from his character in the TV show."

"A show is a show, the actors are the actors. We just have to get used to it."

"Ordinary people like us are better, honest and straightforward. Look at our Tiegen, clearly a bad egg, so honestly wicked. What is he thinking about with that cheeky smile on his face?"

"He’s thinking about his wife dealing with big things." Heh, heh~

"Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with his brain — and are you sure he can pass the test?" Wang Cuihua asked Suizi doubtfully.

Suizi took the test paper from Yu Jingting and quickly scanned through it.

"He’ll definitely pass. It’s just a matter of which university he’s going to get into."

It was all correct! Suizi was shocked. When did this comic-reading lad actually study?

"Hurry up, grade it. I’m still waiting to change my name."

"Change to what?" Of course, Suizi didn’t get his dirty thoughts.

"You’ll see in a bit. Actually, right now, I’m enjoying studying more and more."
