I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 783: Chapter 783: There is Only One Reason

"Hmm, I was just about to say that, you keep interrupting...."

"It’s a good thing that your memory is back— hold on, you remembered the idiot after recovering your memory. So, when did you meet the idiot? You even remember his handwriting; this isn’t just an ordinary relationship."

Yu Jingting’s jealousy, which he had just managed to suppress, surged back up.

"To be honest, this isn’t an ordinary relationship. Without him, I might have died long ago."

Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Yu Jingting’s anger surged. When he heard the second half, his eyebrows knitted together tightly.

"What happened?"

Suizi then mentioned her past struggle with depression.

Depression was not often talked about during that era, so it took her a little time to explain the disease.

"Dayu was basically my superior at that time. I met him at a dinner once when a group of fox-like people were pestering me, he helped me out, and that’s how we got acquainted."

Suizi also faced struggles while running her business in her previous life.

With no backers, she was often obstructed. She had to attend various dinners and often was the butt of dirty jokes for being a good-looking female entrepreneur. Getting plied with alcohol was a common occurrence.

Que Wuyu was already a small leader then, always having a crowd tailing him. He got to know Suizi at one of those dinners, and because both of them shared the same literary interests, they hit it off and became good friends.

With him giving her a hand, Suizi no longer had to deal with the persistent issues from the upper echelons, and things started to smooth over.

When she fell ill, he, being a good friend, wrote her letters every week to encourage her to keep living. As such, even when Suizi lost her memory, seeing his familiar handwriting would remind her of him.

"Taking everything into account, he is my savior in a way. Although I don’t know why he would write that letter to me a few days ago, I believe his intentions were not malevolent. Can we not dwell on the car accident?"

Suizi was transparent about the situation. Being husband and wife, she saw no need to hide anything from Yu Jingting.

"To not mind—" Yu Jingting drew out his words.

His mind had already gone through several rounds of thought during these brief seconds.

In the "dream" that Suizi mentioned, she regarded Mr. Que as her friend. However, using his nearly 25 years of experience as a man, Yu Jingting knew that guy could not possibly see his wife as just a friend.

A man being unconditionally good to a woman only means one thing—he’s got his eyes on her.

However, the fact that Suizi casually mentioned it proves that she hadn’t considered that angle. Yu Jingting, being a quick thinker, naturally wouldn’t remind her of it.

"Since he’s your savior, he’s mine as well. I’ll go visit him with a bottle of wine tomorrow and make friends."

"Wouldn’t that be too abrupt? I think we should let things be for now. Let’s first find out why Dayu wrote that letter to me. His letter appeared during my amnesia phase, and perhaps someone wanted to use him to cause discord between us."

Suizi, having an overview of the whole situation, made a reasonable inference. Looking at Yu Jingting, his laughter seemed rather...forced?

"Why do you have a forced smile?"

"Ah, I’m just stunned by my wife’s intelligence. What do you mean forced smile? I do whatever you ask, I am obedient, and so is my younger brother."

"...What younger brother are you talking about?"

"How can there be none? You’ve turned into a 17-year-old girl these days, not even willing to kiss. Poor him... I can only express his feelings with a song."

"???"

Yu Jingting cleared his throat, ready to sing at the flip of a switch.

Without some talent, how could he dare to marry such a pretty lady?

"When I think of you, my heart trembles, when I think of you, tears quietly fall~"

The song is good, and so are the lyrics.

However, the way he used his claw to indicate his ’brother’ during the song was a bit...unusual?

While he sang, Yu Jingting caught her little hand, strongly hinting.

"!!! Yu Tiegen, do you have no shame?!"

"Hey, you’re calling me Tiegen again? Seems like you’ve lost your memory again, I can only give you mouth-to-mouth to help you regain your memory.... Hey, wife, I see a small grove up ahead. People rarely go there during the day. It won’t be bad to go there to find some beautiful memories."

"..."

That night, Chen Lijun and her spouse came to visit Suizi. They were happy to hear that Suizi had regained her memory.

Only Wang Cuihua was dumbfounded.

"Suizi lost her memory? When did this happen?"

Yu Shuisheng merely looked at his old partner with amusement, apparently impressed by her ’swift’ reaction.

"I’ve made the elders worry." Suizi felt that her father’s expression was a bit lost, so she joked, "Dad, you don’t seem happy about my memory recovery?"

Fan Huang cleared his throat. That was not exactly the case.

But he was somewhat disappointed.

"I thought I could take advantage of your memory loss to experience what it’s like to raise a daughter. But that stinker, Yu Tiegen, is overly protective of you, leaving me no chance to spend time with you."

"Dad, based on what you say, if I dared to bully your daughter, you would have come slashing at me with a knife long ago. Could you leave me be?"

Yu Jingting expressed his grievances—he found it hard to get in his father-in-law’s good books.

When he treated his daughter well, he would complain about there not being any opportunities to spend time with Suizi. When he didn’t treat her well, he would be ready to flip tables. His wife’s family lived a minute’s distance from his house. If Suizi shouted from the courtyard, her parents would show up ready to fight. Who would dare to bully Suizi, who has such strong backup?

"That won’t do, not while I’m around," said Wang Cuihua.

Yu Jingting nodded. Yes, his mother is there to protect him in crucial moments.

"If he really bullies Suizi, I don’t need to wait for our son-in-law to come. I would kick him out."

"...You, old lady, have been waiting for a chance to kick me out. Just say it directly, don’t use my wife as an excuse, right, wife?"

Suizi just lowered her head and laughed without joining in the chaos.

Chen Lijun, with a keen eye, noticed that there were mosquito bites all over Suizi’s arm and neck too.

"Suizi, how did you get all these bites?"

"..." Suizi’s face turned red.

She kicked Yu Jingting hard under the table. As the root of all trouble, it’s time for you to say something!

"Ah, those are mosquito bites when we went to collect mushrooms in the grove."

"Where are these mushrooms?" Wang Cuihua asked.

"Err..." Suizi’s face reddened. She wasn’t good at telling lies. She wasn’t good at 17, and still isn’t at 25.

"We went there for the mushrooms, but there weren’t any at the base of the tree." There were no mushrooms but a mushroom-collecting Suizi~

"I suppose you’ve been away from the village too long and have forgotten basic common sense. Where do mushrooms grow when it hasn’t rained?" Wang Cuihua clearly underestimated her son-in-law’s thick-skinnedness.

Suizi’s face became even redder.

There genuinely weren’t any actual mushrooms, but those that were...ugh!

Inside the house, it was all laughter and joy, but the people outside the house didn’t feel good hearing it.
