Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Clear Division of Labor between the Little Couple

"Where is the person now?" Fan Huang asked.

"My people have him in the kitchen, no one else was disturbed," said Yu Jingting.

He and Suizi were hiding in the backyard touching up their makeup when someone came over.

Their faces were stained from their playful bantering, and they could only hide behind a flower bed in their embarrassingly disheveled state.

The half-person-high plants perfectly hid the pair.

They thought it was just an embarrassing encounter, and those two people would walk past and leave quickly.

But those two turned out to be here for a chat, and what’s more, they were talking about something very serious.

One of them asked if the drug had been administered, the other reassured it was put in the last fruit platter.

They also mentioned that Chen Lijun came from an art background, and she was full of foreign ideas. She designed the wedding menu in such a sophisticated style, using salads in the fruit platters, so they put the drugs in the salad dressing.

What these two didn’t know was that Suizi set the menu for the wedding banquet. Every dish was tasted and approved by Suizi and Yu Jingting.

To provide the guests with the best experience, the ingredients were scrutinized and organized by Yu Jingting, only accepting the freshest ones.

But the couple never expected for someone to have the nerve to cause havoc at their wedding banquet.

Although they didn’t exactly know what drug was used, they had a strong sense that it was no good.

Yu Jingting instantly detained the man and handed him over to his friends who were helping out. He and Suizi quickly relayed the situation to Chen Lijun and Fan Huang.

"I’ve got the drug, they admitted that it’s a large dose of laxative."

Even though most of these relatives weren’t the best people, if they got food poisoning from Chen Lijun’s wedding dinner, the responsibility would inevitably fall upon the host.

"However, even if we didn’t overhear them, they wouldn’t have had an opportunity to tamper with the food. I had people watching the kitchens in both restaurants."

Once again, Suizi demonstrated her detail-oriented approach and hardworking spirit.

She put a lot of thought into her parents’ wedding, especially when it came to security. She not only called on Yu Jingting’s friends for help, but also borrowed a few people from Meng Jun, who were all extremely capable.

"You two did well," Fan Huang nodded. "Did you find out who hired them?"

"Um..." Suizi’s expression became very subtle, and she looked at her mother hesitantly.

Chen Lijun could guess from Suizi’s expression.

"Your grandfather?!"

Chen’s father didn’t attend the wedding today because he was upset.

Two days ago, Suizi personally went to the Chen family to send him an invitation. To avoid escalating the conflict, she didn’t let Jingting accompany her, fearing he would lose his temper when he saw the old man.

Chen’s father initially claimed that he had a headache, then said he was feeling ill all over. After sufficient posturing, he finally revealed his true intentions.

He felt that Suizi, as a young girl, was not worthy.

He wanted Fan Huang to invite him to the wedding.

Although Chen’s father didn’t think highly of his daughter, he was very satisfied with the marriage she was about to enter into. However, his arrogant and lowly attitude resurfaced, and he felt that as the father-in-law, he shouldn’t be too proactive.

Wouldn’t people think he was trying to climb up the social ladder if he was easily invited over by a maid?

Though his mindset was absurdly lofty, Suizi nearly believed him. She even seriously considered whether or not she should ask her dad to call the old man. After all, a phone call was no trouble, and it could satisfy the old man’s vain illusions.

But Chen’s father revealed his true colors.

He wanted Fan Huang to help his star pupil land a job. The job location had been chosen, and he just needed to work as Fan Huang’s secretary.

The moment Suizi heard this, she realized this old man was beyond help.

She made her stance clear on the spot, if he was willing to come, their whole family would be welcoming and reserve a VIP seat for him. If he didn’t want to come, then don’t bother, she would have food packaged and delivered to him.

As for her dad, sorry, he was too busy and had no time.

Chen’s father felt insulted by a young girl, his fire of anger flared up, and he started to scold Suizi. Just after a few sentences, Jingting entered the courtyard.

Even though Jin Ting hadn’t entered yet, his ears were already alert. If someone talked about his wife, he would certainly come to have a look.

Chen’s father tried to leave as soon as he saw him, but with his old limbs, where could he escape from Jingting?

He was pinned against the wall by Jingting’s powerful arm, trapped in the corner in a compromising position. Then came a love-filled flurry of hair ruffling.

After he had messed up the old man’s hair to his satisfaction, Jingting even nodded approvingly, saying, "Now that looks better."

Better, how so?

After Yu Jingting, the unrivaled annoying figure in the universe, left, Chen’s father almost fainted as he exited the courtyard.

His pet dog, a long-haired Pekingese tied up outside the courtyard, had a bald spot shaved onto its head, making it look strikingly similar to Chen’s father.

While Yu Jingting was waiting outside for Suizi, he saw the little dog acting in a fierce manner, just like its owner. Yu Jingting felt competitive and decided to give the dog a new look.

Chen’s father became angrier the more he thought about it. His original intention was to put on airs and pretend to be a big shot. But after being humiliated by Jingting like this, he was filled with resentment.

Regardless of how much Chen’s mother tried to persuade or beg him, he adamantly refused to attend the wedding banquet.

Not only did he not come, he even sent his pupil to cause a commotion.

Although Chen Lijun didn’t know what Yu Jingting did to the old man, her mood soured when she thought about how the most important event of her life was almost ruined by her own father.

Fan Huang frowned when he heard that it was his father-in-law.

"Let’s forget it, since it’s over, we will keep the person for now and I’ll visit my father-in-law after the banquet," he said.

The implication was that he didn’t plan to report it to the police.

After all, it was his wife’s family, it wouldn’t look right if word got out.

Jingting thought the same and was about to say something when his friends arrived.

"Jingting..." his friend whispered something in Jingting’s ear, causing a flash of sharpness in his eyes. He glanced at his in-laws, then at Suizi.

The wedding banquet was half over, and their family had been talking for a while, so people were already looking their way.

"Wife, I need to go out for a bit. You stay with your parents and help fend off the alcohol, I’ll be back soon," Jingting said with a smile.

"What’s going on? Your dad is still waiting for you to help him fend off the alcohol," Chen Lijun asked.

"I have to go with my wife, she prepared a bottle of fake Moutai, I’ll be right back."

People saw Yu Jingting looking happy and lively, they thought he was going to handle something insignificant. But Suizi, who had been in sync with him for so long, understood from his reaction that something serious must have happened.

She was certainly curious, but the division of tasks between the husband and wife had always been clear. She needed to stay with her parents, and she trusted that Jingting could handle all problems well on his own. She suppressed her curiosity, picked up the bottle of Moutai filled with plain water, and went with Chen Lijun to toast each table.

Many people in the Chen family had seen Suizi before. During a hospital visit, Suizi and her husband had left a deep impression, or rather a psychological shadow, on many people.

As she followed Fan Huang, Suizi would smile but say little. She was a stark contrast to her sociable mother, causing those of the Chen family who hadn’t met her before to mistake her for a gentle and easy-going person.

Therefore, someone stood out, taking advantage of the alcohol, and asked in a joking tone:

"This must be Lijun’s girl, you’ve grown so much. My, you don’t look anything like Lijun, you take after your father, right?"
