I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 604: Hard-mouthed, Soft-hearted

Chapter 604: Chapter 604: Hard-mouthed, Soft-hearted

"If a cellar is filled with fine wine, the scent will travel a thousand miles. How would anyone know about this exquisite wine if the cellar is never opened?"

"The saying ’even when buried with no use, it can still rise to the heavens every night’ perfectly describes Jingting. And I... I am willing to be the one that opens the cellar and let people discover his brilliance."

The Chief Editor is stunned.

He shouldn’t have asked that question. Wasn’t he just giving them an opportunity to flaunt their love for each other?

The glow in Suizi’s eyes is not just for show.

She genuinely believes in what she’s saying and shows this through her actions.

Wang Cuihua, who was next to her, was already used to Suizi’s limitless praise for Yu Jingting. What’s astonishing is that Suizi never repeats her compliments.

If we compiled all the praises Suizi has for Jingting, it could probably be as thick as a textbook.

In the past, Wang Cuihua could still tease Suizi a couple of times, holding her cheek.

But now, facing Jingting’s dazzling college entrance exam grades, Wang Cuihua found herself speechless.

For the first time, she started to ponder. Maybe her son truly was, as Suizi had always said, not a rough diamond...

Wang Cuihua’s eyes welled up, a tear of being touched was forming.

Snap Snap.

At such an emotional moment, an untimely noise caught everyone’s attention. Gazing towards it, they saw Yu Jingting, the man Suizi had praised so much, biting into a large onion while leaning against the door, dressed in a tank top and big shorts.

Two little ones followed him, dressed just like their dad, each holding an onion.

Wang Cuihua’s teardrop of emotion retreated instantly, transforming into a roar.

"Yu Tiegen, you good-for-nothing, what were you thinking feeding the kids such raw onions, aren’t you afraid it might be too spicy for them?"

The moment she finished speaking, Bobo’s loud cry filled the air. He shed onion-induced tears at his grandma, pointing at the instigator, Yu Tiegen. After much struggle, he managed to force out:

"Too spicy!"

Both Suizi and Wang Cuihua, who were just praising Jingting to the Chief Editor, froze. Jingting stopped eating his onion and sensing danger, tried to run.

But he couldn’t outrun the slipper Wang Cuihua threw at him.

"I told you not to swear in front of the children! Now the children have learned it, didn’t they?! Stand right there!"

"Uh... let’s cut this part... don’t write it down..." Suizi used her eyes to back the punishment of her mother-in-law and didn’t forget to manage public relations with the Chief Editor.

Emphasize the positive. These small incidents that affect her husband’s image will be rounded down to nothing.

The Chief Editor couldn’t help laughing.

She wasn’t sure if China’s top universities had such casual students before, but they definitely have one now.

The news of the couple’s achievements was relayed to Beijing by Chen Lijun’s younger brother, Chen Ziyao. Upon hearing the news, Lijun’s antique teacup dropped from her hand, shattering into pieces.

"Sister, our Suizi has really brought honor to your family. She only fell short of two points from a perfect score, which caused quite the sensation. I also have to commend Jingting for his ability to achieve top 20 in the province after only a little over a year of studying. I made sure to share a toast with him before I arrived."

Chen Ziyao had long been on friendly terms with Jingting, not fussing about propriety.

"Heh, a village idler, how could he score so high? Did he cheat? Did you get Fan Huang to acquire the examination paper for them?" Chen’s father joked, crossing his legs and reading the newspaper on the sofa.

"You can’t just say things like that. Fan Huang isn’t in charge of education. Besides, not even the top leaders can get ahold of the exam papers," said Chen’s mother, full of joy. "It seems that Suizi does have some talent. If she can study in Beijing, I will get to see her. I’m never satisfied just looking at her photos."

"Huh, a country girl, what’s there to see? I’m telling you both, don’t bring that rural kid into our house. This is a Cultural Holy Land for learned men, not the likes of commoners! Who knows if she carries lice... Ah!"

Before Chen father’s words were finished, he found the newspaper soaked through.

Chen Lijun poked two holes in the newspaper with two fingers. With a yank, the two holes on the paper grew infinitely larger, making her father’s angry old face behind it look amusing.

"You think my daughter would be keen on this rundown place of yours?"

"You disobedient girl!" Her father dropped the newspaper and slapped the sofa forcefully.

"The stench is so strong, I’m genuinely afraid it will affect my maiden. However, my son-in-law might find you very fascinating."

"Oh? Would our dear brother Jingting actually like our old-fashioned father?" Chen Ziyao was puzzled.

"Of course, he will. Haven’t you noticed? My son-in-law is tireless in hammering wherever there’s a nail." Chen Lijun sneered, looking at the out-of-touch, old man who was forsaken by all.

He’d better keep his disgruntled personality. After Jingting arrives in Beijing, he can insult Suizi in front of him.

This cranky old geezer, Jingting could easily toy with him.

"He’s gone too far. Even that Fan boy calls me ’uncle’ with respect when he sees me, and a man who a country bumpkin bastard found dares to provoke me?" Each mention of a’ bastard’ without naming Suizi came from dad’s mouth contemptuously.

"Oh no....." Ziyao frowned, feeling a killing intent behind him, and swiftly moved away.

Chen Lijun scanned around, her gaze landed on the cup in her father’s hand.

Her father tightened his grip on the cup, fearing that she would grab it and shatter it again. Chen Lijun walked past him, went straight to the porcelain vase in the corner, lifted her leg, and - crash.

"Ahh!!!!!" her father clutched his chest, gasping for breath.

"My...my...Jun ware...ahh..."

"Why did you need to insult Suizi? Don’t you know my sister can’t tolerate anyone talking bad about Suizi?" Chen Ziyao looked gleefully at the old man who was about to have a heart attack, he was getting what he deserved.

"Stop!" Her father, his face deathly white with rage shouted at Chen Lijun who was about to leave.

"Chen Lijun, feeling pretty strong with those wings of yours now? Have Fan Huang as a backer, and you think I can’t do anything about you?"

Chen Lijun slowly turned around, a smirk playing on her lips, looking at the infuriated old man.

"I have a backer...you’re jealous, aren’t you?"

"Ah!" her father was so furious he could hardly breathe.

Ziyao jumped past the dying old man, going after Lijun.

"Sis, Suizi will be moving here in a month, have you arranged a place for her to stay?"

Chen Lijun was not pleased.

"She’s so competent, why should I arrange anything?"

"Suizi got into a great school, aren’t you happy? Oh, I get it, it’s because Suizi didn’t go along with your plan with my big brother Jingting, that’s why you’re upset, right?"

Chen Ziyao saw through Chen Lijun’s inner thoughts.

According to Chen Lijun’s plan, Suizi certainly wouldn’t have gotten into Qingbei, and even if she did, Jingting wouldn’t, so one of this couple would have to follow Fan Huang.

The fact, however, is that Suizi not only got in herself, but also brought her man along to progress. Chen Lijun’s plan has failed.

"The brat has grown wings, I can’t be bothered to find her a house, let them stay in the dormitory, let her man stay in the dormitory, let her in-laws stay in the dormitory, and my two grandsons—"

"They stay in the dormitory too?" Ziyao cut her off. He had met two adorable kids during his visit, they were incredibly cute and just starting to talk, it was so fun.

"I’ll bring my two grandsons over, I’ll take care of them- why are you laughing?"

"Sis, you just have a stubborn mouth, but a soft heart, alright, leave the house hunting to me, I’ll find a good place for them to stay."

Ziyao’s home visit this time was for this purpose.
