Chapter 866: Chapter 866 Come On Let’s Make Some Trouble

"Which hotel did you see him at? It was the Second Factory’s Guest House, wasn’t it?" Suizi asked.

Que Wuyu reeked of alcohol, probably having drunk quite a bit to muster his courage.

He had mulled over his words for so long before saying them, imagining Suizi would be angry, sad, but he never expected her to react this way.

"How did you know?"

Que Wuyu’s question made Suizi even more composed, further confirming her earlier guess was correct.

Yu Jingting must be safe now.

Because the Second Factory’s Guest House is the closest place to the skating rink, Suizi intended to block Que Wuyu’s retreat by testing him in this way.

Suizi bet right.

"Because the woman with him, I arranged for it, she’s a distant relative of my father-in-law. When she came over, I had him take care of her," she said.

Que Wuyu opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

"Director Que, I don’t know if I’ve done anything before that might have caused a misunderstanding. If so, please tell me directly, and I’ll change," she said.

An intellectual rebukes with elegance and courtesy.

Which translates to one thing: leave me alone, stay as far away as possible in the future.

If Suizi had previously expressed her distant stance subtly through her close relationship with Yu Jingting, this time it was an overt expression of her attitude.

"Don’t misunderstand, I just thought... since we know each other, it would be inappropriate if I saw something and didn’t tell you, so I—" Que Wuyu’s face turned beet red.

Whether out of shame or the alcohol’s effect, it wasn’t clear.

If Suizi still wanted to save his face, she would go along with what Que Wuyu was saying.

But Suizi didn’t want to.

"Director Que, we were complete strangers to begin with, let alone being strangers, even if we were friends, what you did today has already affected my normal life. I hope there won’t be a next time," she said.

Her words turned Que Wuyu’s red face pale. He was at the age when pride was paramount, having been dealt such a direct blow by Suizi without sparing any feelings.

"I got it, I won’t bother you again. It was my meddlesomeness," Que Wuyu said weakly, managing a mirthless smile as he turned to leave, looking dejected.

Seeing him like this, Suizi also felt uncomfortable.

But she knew that she absolutely couldn’t play nice now.

If she offered consolation, she would give him false hope. If you can’t give someone a promise, you shouldn’t give them any chance to hope.

She would rather have Que Wuyu treat her like a stranger for life than hold him back.

Yu Jingting’s voice seemed to ring in her ears: "A man and a woman and you’re talking to me about friendship?

Once she had cut off Que Wuyu’s hopes, Suizi was sure that Yu Jingting would not be in any danger.

Who could the woman with him be?

Suizi straightened her hair by the temples, she remembered every word he had said.

If he was convinced that there’s no such thing as pure friendship between men and women, then the woman with him was either an enemy or a lover.

Human or ghost, she would find out soon enough.

"Mom, Dad, I’m heading out," Suizi said, seeing that it was about time, and left after saying goodbye.

Wang Cuihua hesitated, wanting to say something.

She put the children to bed before asking her husband.

"What’s really going on with the man looking for Suizi?"

When one man comes calling and the daughter-in-law goes out late at night, as a mother-in-law she ought to ask a few questions; it just wouldn’t seem right not to. But she was afraid to ask Suizi directly, for fear of jeopardizing the hard-earned relationship between mother and daughter-in-law.

The old man studied the blueprint in his hands intently. After a few days of woodworking, the toy he was making for the two treasures was just missing the final assembly.

"It’s not that I don’t trust Suizi, you know, I’m just worried about her safety going out alone—hey, I’m talking to you, why are you still looking at that thing? Is the daughter-in-law more important, or is the wood more important?"

Seeing that her husband was ignoring her, Wang Cuihua snatched the blueprint out of his hands.

"Huahua, you’re worrying needlessly; you think Suizi is an ordinary girl? Instead of fussing over her, you might as well think about what we’re going to eat tomorrow. How about I take you out for some lamb hotpot?"

"The backyard is on fire, and you’re still worried about wood and hot pot?"

In his frustration, he wanted to tear up the blueprint, but Siye was quick to stop him. With a wife who had such a fiery temper, trying to appear deep and thoughtful was impossible for him.

"I must finish the toy for Little Luobo today, for tomorrow, I’m afraid, it will take a few days of fussing."

"Huh?"

"Based on my understanding of the old man, he wouldn’t give in so easily. It’s highly likely he’ll pull some stunt, I even have a feeling..."

Siye did not continue, his premonition being that if his son was not home on time, it was probably the old man’s doing.

Suizi drove all the way to the roller rink. At night, the rink turned into a ballroom, and she could hear the music from a distance.

Fortunately, there weren’t many residential areas nearby, or it would have been a public nuisance.

The minute she drove in, something felt off.

On a usual day, this place would be full of bicycles by now, but the area was eerily empty, with only a few bikes, probably belonging to the staff.

Suizi checked the time and entered at nine o’clock on the dot.

The two who were watching the door stood up when they saw the big sister-in-law coming, but their expressions seemed a bit strange.

"Is Jingting here?" Suizi asked.

The two watchers answered simultaneously:

"Yes!"

"No!"

After saying this, they exchanged glances; the one who said ’yes’ seemed to realize his mistake and hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands.

"No!"

"Jingting is the boss, but I handle the finances, the salaries are paid by me. Let me ask again, is he in or not?"

The two were silent, and after a couple of seconds, managed to squeeze out through gritted teeth:

"Not in!"

Suizi smiled.

"Alright, very loyal."

With that, she walked straight inside.

The two watchers were scared stiff.

One blamed the other.

"It’s all your fault! Why don’t you think before you speak? With what’s going on inside, is that a scene for big sister-in-law to witness?"

Their whispered conversation was masked by the music, and though Suizi couldn’t hear them, their reactions said it all.

There was something fishy inside.

The ballroom was aglow with streaming lights, and at that moment, the live band was playing "Sweet Honey".

The dance floor, which should have been bustling and noisy, was now deserted. In the vast space, only a man and a woman were dancing the Rumba.

Their slow steps and swaying figures gave the romantic tune a sweet, soft charm.

If the man had not looked just like her husband, Suizi might even have thought the dance was quite nice.

The woman dancing with him—Suizi needed just one glance to feel a tightness in her chest.

She was truly beautiful.

Previously, Suizi had been wondering what Yu Youchan meant by "a woman who knows how to please a man".

Now, looking at the woman who was dancing, the image automatically popped into her mind: perfect figure, a face brimming with tenderness.

At a glance, she seemed the type to be very coquettish and good at acting spoilt.

Suizi could only see the side of Yu Jingting’s face, unable to discern his expression at the moment.

The band’s keyboardist was the first to spot Suizi; his fingers halted abruptly on the keys, and the rest of the musicians stopped as well.

Yang Lao’er, in charge of the lighting, seemed intent on causing a scene, focusing the spotlight on Suizi. Hidden in darkness, Yu Jingting contrasted sharply with Suizi standing under the light—one obscured, the other illuminated.
