I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 715: Eating Alone Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Eating Alone Behind Closed Doors

Hearing Suizi suggest using the roller rink as bait, Yu Jingting initiated a lethargic smile.

"What are you scheming now, you cunning woman?"

"What scheme?..." I plan everything openly, you know.

The two of them whispered to each other, catching the attention of the twins playing in the sand.

Bobo sighed, turned away, and ignored his shameless parents who were flaunting their affection.

Luoluo, on the other hand, ran over and squatted in front of their parents, tilting her head and watching them with interest.

Suizi pushed away Yu Jingting’s head that was leaning in. She maintained her image in front of her kids.

When Luoluo didn’t see any continuation of the affection display, she let out a bored grunt and ran to play with her brother.

Chen He drove over.

"I went on a business trip to the neighboring city and brought back a box of live crabs for you to enjoy." Chen He unloaded several foam boxes from the trunk.

"We are only a small family, what do you need all this for?" said Yu Jingting, with one hand on Suizi’s shoulder, in a carefree tone.

His hair had grown a bit recently. Suizi took off a rubber band from her wrist, ruffled his hair, and tied it up into a mini ponytail, making him look raffishly charming.

Yu Jingting always dressed casually at home — a simple round-neck short-sleeved shirt, a pair of cheap big shorts, and a pair of flip-flops. A careless smile always hung on his face, a habit he picked up after moving in next to his father-in-law and becoming neighbors.

Only Suizi could tell whether his smile was genuine or fake.

Wang Cuihua once joked, saying that when he lived in the village, he used to strut around, but after moving to Beijing, he turned into a grinning tiger.

Suizi was very pleased with this subtle change.

The characteristics of being aggressive, domineering, and cool might work in books, but in reality, the more capable people are, the more polite and approachable they are, just like her dad. Of course, what they really think, only they themselves know.

Seeing how Yu Jingting, whom Suizi could touch and tease like a big cat, Chen He had a brief illusion of "he’s easy to get along with". However, he quickly remembered Yu Jingting’s famous exploits and nervously addressed him with a few more respectful phrases.

"If you can’t finish them, just share. Seafood is very cheap over there. I didn’t know what you guys liked, so I brought a bit of everything."

Suizi decided to steam a few crabs and eat them in front of her mother to tease her. She knew her mother, being in early pregnancy, couldn’t eat crabs and her dad would certainly stop her. Imagining Lady Chen Lijun salivating made Suizi very happy.

Chen He, adept at observing people’s reactions, saw that Suizi’s mood was good, so he brought out a paper bag from the car.

"This is a new product from my friend’s factory. It’s said to be very good for the face, and it’s not even on the market yet. You can try it."

Laughingly, Suizi took it over and looked at Chen He from top to bottom.

"So generous. What do you want?"

"Isn’t it my duty to show respect to you? And not always because I want something."

"Fine, I’ll accept your gift, thank you. Jingting, help move the stuff. You can go if there’s nothing else." Suizi purposefully said this, making Chen He feel awkward.

"Actually, it’s not that I don’t want anything..."

Chen He came this time, lured by the smell of money.

He wanted to invest some of his own money into Yu Jingting’s roller rink.

Although the roller rink hasn’t even opened yet, Chen He’s keen business sense already smelt a big opportunity. If it were someone else’s project, he might have adopted a wait-and-see attitude, but since it was Suizi and her husband’s idea, there was definitely something to it.

"Isn’t the paper mill enough for you to earn from?" Yu Jingting jokingly asked.

Chen He laughed and took out a cigarette from his pocket, but Yu Jingting waved him off, gesturing towards the two children nearby.

Chen He slapped his forehead.

"Look at my memory, I brought gifts for the children too. Hang on."

He jogged off and returned with a box of toys.

Suizi lowered her voice and said, "He really came prepared."

He had impressed the whole family – it was evident he had come prepared.

"That’s good, didn’t you just say you wanted to use the roller rink as bait? Chen He should be the first one to go and mingle with them." Yu Jingting put his arm around Suizi’s shoulder with one hand while gently nudging her chin with the other, "How come you have such a cute little face and yet you play your cards so hard?"

Suizi was planning to knock down Lady Fan’s family in one go, whether she let any survivors live depended entirely on her mood.

Other people’s household bickering was primarily engaging in verbal attacks, grabbing someone else’s man, or tricking a child and the like.

She directly went for their financial lifeline and kept squeezing until they couldn’t make trouble anymore.

"You think I’m too calculating? I’ll become a nun and chant the Buddha tomorrow." Suizi rolled her eyes at him and made a move to walk away.

Yu Jingting pulled her back and seized the moment to plant a kiss on her face.

"Don’t be like that, I like you just the way you are. If you become a nun, I’d have to become a monk and sneak over the wall to meet you in the middle of the night. Gosh, wifey, you really know how to play. Thinking about it now, I’m actually getting excited."

"You’re shameless..."

Chen He, who was carrying the box of toys, saw this scene and trembled, dropping the box on his foot. The pain made him wail.

"Uncle, are you alright?" Luoluo ran over to check on Chen He.

"I’m fine..." Chen He was about to praise Luoluo when she shook her head like a grown-up.

"You’ll get used to it." She and her brother had already grown used to it; dad always sneaked kisses on mom.

"..." What had these children been exposed to on a regular basis? Chen He was shouting in his heart.

"Hey buddy, come over here," Yu Jingting was done kissing his wife, he beckoned Chen He over and they walked to one side. Yu Jingting whispered a few words in his ear.

Listening to him, Chen He broke into a cold sweat. He felt relieved that it was not him who had offended Yu Jingting.

"Handle this well and you’ll also benefit." Yu Jingting patted Chen He on the shoulder. He had mastered Suizi’s "Painting the Big Picture".

Chen He perked up, hearing the undertone in Yu Jingting’s words.

"You mean ——?"

"What’s the point of buying shares? It’s better to open a rink ourselves. The old rule applies, you manage the rink and we take a share of the profits."

Chen He laughed bitterly inside. Weren’t they just using him as a worker?

But even though he was working for the couple, he was willing to do it. He would be able to live comfortably under the boss’s shelter, which was always better than offending the boss and being used as cannon fodder.

After seeing off Chen He, Suizi originally wanted to take the crabs to her mother’s house and wait for the pregnant woman’s return so she could tease her a bit.

But Yu Jingting was worried that if her mother didn’t get any crabs, she might eat people instead. If she got really angry and took it out on Suizi, they couldn’t count on her father-in-law, a wife’s slave, to step in to stop her.

So when Chen Lijun returned, she saw a table full of well-prepared meals. Chen Lijun thought her daughter was very caring.

After dinner, everyone went back to their own homes. Chen Lijun suddenly remembered that she had something else to do, and she picked up the box containing the house deed and went to find Suizi.

As soon as she pushed open the courtyard door, she was taken aback.

Suizi and her family of four were all squatting in the yard, feasting on crabs.

Chen Lijun was hit hard. She suddenly understands why her daughter didn’t eat much at dinner – as soon as the door was closed, she started eating by herself!

Holding the small box, she suddenly didn’t want to hand over the property. What should she do!
