Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Don’t Mind Being A True Boiler (Monthly Ticket 100+ Update)

Yu Jingting and his wife are tall and striking, and they were definitely the first people to grab your attention.

"I’m here to visit the injured on behalf of my mom."

"Why didn’t Chen Lijun come herself?" Mr. Chen made a point to show that he was a respected elder.

The more he behaved in this manner, the more uneasy everyone became.

"My mom was busy at work, so she sent me and Suizi instead, it’s practically the same thing."

"Lijun is so disrespectful. How dare you two represent her?"

A representative from those feeling uneasy mustered up the courage to ask:

"Why are these two representing Lijun?"

"This is Lijun’s daughter and son-in-law, have you all been chatting for so long and not realized it?" Mr. Chen had already heard Yu Jingting’s voice in the hallway.

It’s him! That’s him!

The last time Yu Jingting confronted Mr. Chen at the station, he left him half-dead. The old man would get frustrated every time he thought about it, sometimes he even dreamed about Yu Jingting. He would wake up in the middle of the night, cursing the annoying boy until he was too tired to continue.

To Mr. Chen, Yu Jingting’s voice was an unforgettable nightmare. How could he not recognize it?

"What, he’s Lijun’s son-in-law?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Perhaps my mom felt sorry for me tending to the boiler in the heat, and for my wife whose hands tremble as she serves others, so she let us have a day off. Luckily, we made it, otherwise, we would have missed all these heartfelt words."

Yu Jingting laughed as he glanced around, slowly, his gaze sending a chill down the spine of the beholders.

"Let me formally introduce myself. I am Yu Jingting. This is my wife Chen Hansui. My mother-in-law is none other than Chen Lijun who you’ve been ’warmly’ discussing."

The room fell into a deafening silence. The situation now was as awkward as it was satisfying when they were harshly criticizing Chen Lijun earlier.

Yu Jingting took a red envelope from his pocket. It contained the money Chen Lijun was giving to the patient. He waved it in the air for everyone to see.

"You lot are really like birds pecking away at a bull, making a big deal about nothing. You dare to backbite others in broad daylight, aren’t you afraid of your overly long tongues getting wind chapped? You are so keen on poking your noses into others’ business that even a hanging ghost doesn’t have a tongue as long as yours."

Yu Jingting placed the red envelope next to the patient’s pillow. His entrapment had ended, and he began to fiercely express his opinions.

"What’s with your attitude?! How dare you speak like this to your relatives? Many people here are elders, you’re acting unruly..." Mr. Chen tried to take control again, but Yu Jingting extended his arm, twice to be exact, in plain sight of everyone.

Mr. Chen’s hair, which was neatly sprayed in place with hair gel, was now completely messed up.

Older people tend to have less hair and, on ordinary days, they would leave their hair a bit longer, comb it backwards to cover the balding spots on top of their heads. At first glance, it appears as if they still have plenty of hair left – this was the final act of defiance from the intellectuals.

However, this final act of defiance was no match for Yu Jingting.

Yu Jingting had tousled Mr. Chen’s hair the last time they met and this time was no different. He deliberately ruffled the areas with less hair.

"Grandfather, your hair is even thinner than last time we met. Looks like your crooked mouth and squint from the stroke haven’t healed, and you’ve added hair loss to your list of ailments. You have the time to pick on my wife and me, wouldn’t it be better if you stayed home and took care of your own host of health issues instead?"

"You uncouth country bumpkin! I will never acknowledge you, never!" Mr. Chen went livid with embarrassment after being publicly humiliated.

That was exactly what Yu Jingting was waiting to hear.

"It’s not like I need your approval. And as for the rest of you, if you look down on my mother-in-law so much, then don’t bother visiting us and making things difficult. If you’re two-faced hypocrites, are you expecting me to play along?"

"You, why would you say that? We’re all family here, do we really need..." Somebody tried to smooth things over.

"Yes, we do! Although I’m not the boiler operator you all say I am, I am a street hooligan. I have a short temper and hold grudges, and I remember all of you bad-mouthing my mother-in-law. If you have the courage to say something, then you should bear the consequences. Those of you who are self-aware better scram! Don’t wait for me to knock on your doors to settle the debts one by one. As for me? I wouldn’t mind being a real boiler operator for once."

Yu Jingting had been in Beijing for a while now, and he had learned some local slang. It sounded pretty good when combined with his native dialect from Dongbei.

The friendly intonation of his words, contrasted with their harsh content, left everyone in the room speechless from fear.

Where had the amicable Yu Jingting, who was just playing his trap cards, gone to?

"Where are you planning to operate the boiler?" Suizi was the only one in the room who wasn’t intimidated by Yu Jingting.

"The crematorium!" With that, Yu Jingting led Suizi away with their heads held high.

It was only after they had left that everyone started to realize.

Was this ruthless man threatening that anybody who dared to provoke him would be tossed into the crematorium?

After Yu Jingting left, it took a while for the room to recover. They all thought he was too fierce, but no one dared to speak.

Everyone was genuinely scared by Yu Jingting’s threat of the crematorium.

"This is all your fault! Why did you have to speak ill of Lijun? Now her son-in-law has heard it. How are we supposed to keep a relationship now?"

Keeping a relationship = taking advantage of benefits and opportunities.

"You’re blaming me, but didn’t you speak ill of her too?"

Everyone started blaming one another, resulting in nothing but chaos.

After witnessing today’s catastrophe, who would have the nerve to ask for Chen Lijun’s help in the future?

Even if someone did dare, they would have to get through her street-raised son-in-law first.

"Didn’t Chen He recognize them from the beginning? He didn’t say anything earlier and just went along with it. Now it makes us look horrible, but he’s ended up with a good reputation." Someone finally made sense of it all.

So everyone had been humiliated, but it had all benefited Chen He?

Everyone reviewed the incident. Some were regretful, others angry, and some were even pondering the credibility of Yu Jingting’s crematorium threat.

Only Mr. Chen was using his hands to desperately fix his hair that Yu Jingting had messed up, trying his best to maintain his final act of defiance.

"Did you get angry?" Yu Jingting asked Suizi after they left the hospital.

She had been unusually quiet today, perhaps because she was busy remembering names and didn’t have time to speak.

"I bet they’re all baffled. They’re used to playing underhanded games and never expected someone like you who doesn’t play by the rules and puts everything out in the open. They probably won’t dare to face our mother for a while."

Suizi anticipated that these people would stay quiet for a while, but there were bound to be other tricks up their sleeves in the future. When that happens, they’ll just deal with it as it comes. After all, they’ve accepted a motorcycle from her father, and they need to ensure the "after-sales service" is done well.

As Suizi was wearing a tight skirt today, riding a bike was inconvenient. The couple came by rickshaw, and they were waiting for it outside the hospital when a truck pulled up in front of Suizi.

The window rolled down, and Chen He’s face appeared.

"Where are you two going? I can give you a ride."

Suizi remembered that this man had defended her mother earlier.

"We’re fine, we’ll just take the rickshaw."

"No worries, I insist. Come on, get in." Chen He gestured invitingly, his enthusiasm, at least in Suizi’s view, seemed excessive.
