Chapter 779: Chapter 779: Always Obsessed with Wealth

"Chen’s great talent, come on, take a sniff, what does this smell like?" Yu Jingting waved his arm under her nose.

Suizi actually sniffed.

"The scent of green tea soap."

Yu Tiegen had told her that the soap at home was all handmade by her. Green tea was used in summer, and magnolia flowers in spring. It was natural and pollution-free and even smelled good.

"No, this is the smell of a scholar-artist." Yu Jingting said sourly.

He "accidentally" heard it when she was chatting with Liu Yanan.

This little woman even likes literary people, heh heh.

She also seemed to have had a scandal with Shen Jun, heh heh.

This misplaced jar of vinegar made Yu Jingting feel all sour now, he even suspected that the mysterious love letter Suizi had received was written by Shen Jun.

Only after he tricked Shen Jun into writing a few words and found the handwriting completely different did he give up the idea of beating Shen Jun up.

"...Scholar-artist, you only qualify for the third word."

Suizi didn’t even know how she chose her spouse.

Her least favourite type of person during her school days was people like Yu Jingting. Even her spouse selection criteria were devised by going against Yu Jingting’s standpoints.

Yet after all these years, she still ended up marrying him.

He clearly didn’t fit the image of her ideal knight in shining armour, but life with him was surprisingly full of flavour.

She never realised it until after Liu Yanan and her husband didn’t come, but after seeing Liu Yanan’s representative but unfortunate marriage, she started to introspect.

If she and Yanan were to swap places, would she be living a better life than Yanan now?

The answer was negative, she wasn’t as cheerful as Yanan. If she came across a selfish man like Shen Jun, who cared only about his own feelings and was a rotten fruit in the midst of gold and jade, she would probably keep her complaints to herself.

She might even fall sick from anger, something like breast hyperplasia perhaps.

On the other hand, being with a straightforward man like Yu Tiegen, his shortcomings were all verbal, but he was never behind in doing chores, knew how to be caring, and most importantly, when eating braised meat, he didn’t just pick lean meat to eat...

Thinking about this, Suizi felt that Yu Jingting’s off-colour remarks and lack of boarding weren’t really flaws.

Yu Jingting became more and more emotionally imbalanced the more he thought.

He, such a manly man, was actually not her first choice for a spouse.

He prided himself as having no room for improvement, after all, he was so perfect - this was all Yu Tiegen’s own pondering.

Since he had no room for improvement, he would let Suizi see the limits of scholars.

Speaking of scholars, the Chen family had a classic example.

Wasn’t this Chen’s father?

"Wife, I suddenly remembered, we haven’t visited your grandfather’s house yet since you woke up, let me take you there today?"

"Grandfather?" Suizi thought for a moment, her mind holding no memories of this character, but when he mentioned this name, she instinctively rejected it.

"He isn’t a good person then?" This kind of distaste was a first for her after losing her memory.

"Whether he is good or bad, you’ll have to figure it out yourself - mum, where did you put those boxes of our nearly-expired pastries? And those crappy, cheap canned goods that the children despise, get them all ready for me!"

Hearing what he prepared as gifts, Suizi braced herself — that person was indeed not a good guy!

These days, Chen’s father has been in seclusion to recover from his sickness.

After being drugged last time, he completely stopped causing trouble.

He claimed to be ashamed, didn’t even go to the school.

Only waiting for his health to recover so he could move to his elder son’s place to retire.

Yu Jingting was determined to show Suizi the frugality and stupidity of scholars to let Chen’s father serve as a negative example.

Leading Suizi to visit the Chen family, Yu Jingting asked Suizi at the entrance of the alley.

"Being here, do you feel anything? Can you recall anything?"

Suizi shook her head.

Only when she came across something extraordinarily memorable, some fragments would emerge. She had no fluctuations being at her grandfather’s house.

But looking at Chen’s father’s courtyard, images immediately popped up in Suizi’s mind.

"This courtyard isn’t bad, it has a good foundation, the decoration is quite elegant, I really like it."

"Tsk." Yu Jingting chuckled.

Once they entered the courtyard, lots of fragments appeared in Suizi’s mind.

"I remembered a few house transformation ideas — why would I think this way? This house isn’t even ours."

Yu Jingting laughed out loud.

Even after her amnesia, she was still thinking about this house.

Before, Chen Lijun had said she wanted to buy this place and give it to Suizi.

Even if Chen Lijun hadn’t said it, Yu Jingting would’ve still found a way to buy it because Suizi had more than once expressed her liking for this house.

When he asked her, she stubbornly denied it. But now that she had amnesia, her true intentions were revealed.

Suizi had no memory of her grandfather at all, but when it came to her grandfather’s house, she remembered it even after losing her memory.

"Why are you laughing?" Suizi asked, baffled by his laughter.

"Laughing at you, my little money grubber."

Yu Jingting saw a Santana parked in front of the courtyard. This car had just become available in the last two years and was priced very high, starting at 180,000, usually sold to enterprises and public institutions. Ordinary households almost did not have the purchasing power to buy this type of car.

Looking at the license plate, it was a government vehicle. The alley was very narrow, barely enough space to park a car, the driver had great skills, almost sticking the car to the wall as he parked.

When Chen’s mother heard people talking outside the courtyard, she came out to see, and upon seeing Suizi and her husband, her expression immediately turned unnatural.

"How come you’re here?" From Chen’s mother’s tone to her expression, it all showed her unwelcome attitude to Suizi and her husband.

Yu Jingting’s thick skin could defend any malice, and he didn’t care about Chen’s mother’s unwelcome attitude in the slightest.

"My wife said she missed your elders, so we came to visit. These are the gifts we brought for you, we hope you both stay harmonious and live to be a hundred."

When he said this, it seemed sarcastically odd.

Chen’s mother’s face turned even darker, barely able to maintain her composure.

"Where did this driver come from to visit the old man?" Yu Jingting asked Chen’s mother, patting the Santana.

"He’s Chen Professor’s former student, he just returned from studying abroad, he came especially to meet his mentor." Chen’s mother referred to her own husband as Chen Professor, which Suizi found strange.

She glanced at Yu Jingting for an answer, and he shrugged, unfeeling people can’t even call each other darling, they can only use formal appellations to remind each other that we can’t divorce.

"Chen Professor is entertaining guests now, why don’t you two —" Chen’s mother was afraid that Yu Jingting would speak without thinking and say something that would damage the family image in front of guests.

The implication was, please go back.

"A guest who returned from studying abroad? Then we must take a closer look. After all, we are children from the same village, haven’t seen what someone who drinks foreign ink looks like. We must share experiences, right, wife?"

"Uh, you’re right." Seeing that Chen’s mother’s expression had completely collapsed, Suizi felt a silent pity for the old lady.

Facing Yu Tiegen’s attitude, it wasn’t hard to guess that the grandparents must have offended Yu Tiegen, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so prickly everywhere.

Why would these two old people provoke Yu Tiegen? Wasn’t this adding irritation to their good days?

Suizi wanted to follow Yu Tiegen in, to be a silent onlooker, but she didn’t expect the crux would soon fall upon her.
