Chapter 871: Chapter 871 This is the Power of Love (Thanks to Shuyue’er for the update)

Old Master Hu’s eyes filled with moisture before he realized it.

Seeing Suizi present the two documents, his resentments towards Fourth Master dissipated.

Initially, he indeed wanted to use Fourth Master and took him in as his foster son.

But after so many years together, how could there be no feelings?

He resented Yu Shuisheng for abandoning everything and for disregarding the father-son bond over a woman.

But in the end, he had shown mercy, otherwise, how could the old master have let him go with Suizi’s three secret plans back then?

Suizi, seeing the old man’s reaction, knew things were settled and shot Yu Jingting a look.

Her preliminary work was all done; the rest was up to him.

Yu Jingting took out his cigarette, offered one to the old master, and lit it.

The old master took a deep drag and looked at Yu Jingting with a complex expression, "You have no complaints about what your dad has done?"

"Hey, what’s there to complain about? If he’s happy, my wife and I have no objections. As for Jiaojiao, she probably thinks the same way."

"But now, your dad’s business is not small, the shares—" The old master thought of the twenty percent Fourth Master left for him and lost any ill feelings he had.

It wasn’t that he needed the money; it was the feeling of being valued.

"Both my sister and I weren’t planning on living off the old man’s wealth. My sister is still young, but the education she received since childhood is the same as mine. My wife has been guiding her these years, and I believe she won’t grow up to be a child without prospects."

"My wife and I are also starting a business. We may not beat you veterans for now, but it’s just a matter of time."

Yu Jingting briefly described his company, while Suizi, on the other hand, was taking out invoices, all of the company’s cash flow.

"How can this small bag hold so much?" the old master asked Suizi.

"I’m not very eloquent, but I do get the logistical preparation right," Suizi said modestly.

She knew she would face this ordeal and had prepared for it.

Nothing proves one’s worth better than genuine profit in silver and gold.

She and Yu Jingting were past the age of proving themselves by cursing in the streets; now, they had better ways to confidently show their wealth.

"Your eloquence isn’t good?" Old Master Hu laughed heartily, his stomach rumbling along.

He didn’t realize at the moment, while Suizi guiltily grabbed her teacup to cover up, *cough cough*, it didn’t matter whether she was articulate or not, what mattered was, she truly held grudges.

"Girl, you just said, I won’t die of illness six years from now, then what’s the cause?" Old Master Hu’s tone had softened a lot, revealing a hint of a friendly overture.

Suizi thought to herself, had she known it would be so easy to convince him, she would have used less laxatives...

"It wasn’t me who said it, but a divination showed it. I can only try to predict for you, whether it turns out to be true or not, just take it as a bit of fun," she said.

Old Master Hu thought to himself, to hell with accurate death predictions, if he could still enjoy them.

Suizi pointed at the turtle shell and said, "The third yin line from the bottom suggests not to grab another’s woman on seeing a Wu Fu, for it will lead to death, no benefits. Is it possible that in the future, you might get involved with a married woman, and her husband might be powerless and insignificance, but precisely because he has nothing to lose, he dares to stake it all?"

"My wife’s terminology might be too scholarly, let me translate it for you, it means if you see someone’s poor, and you take his wife, you might get retaliated against. The barefoot are not afraid of the shod, that’s what it means; you can’t expect me to bully the poor now, I just can’t do that."

Back in the village, he was a tyrant because he never had anything to lose.

Now that his career is stable and his family is happy, he wouldn’t touch anything illegal or disorderly. The price is simply too high, not worth the risk.

At first, Old Master Hu was puzzled and confused upon hearing this, but after a moment of thought, his expression gradually turned ugly.

Lately, he had taken a fancy to a young wife, but she was not willing.

He had even planned to handle his affairs here then go back and bring her home by force, to treasure her for a few years before discarding her.

Upon hearing Suizi’s divination, he began to ponder this possibility.

Six years, the timing could match...

"Divination is merely for reference, after all, knowing the future requires you to make a certain decision first, and then destiny moves in that direction. But if you don’t, destiny changes."

Hearing this, the old man was completely taken in by her persuasion, yet there was still reluctance in his heart.

"Then I might as well not touch that woman, and I could avoid this disaster, right? There’s no need to back out now. The situation outside is so tense, once I step back, all my brothers will be unable to withdraw, isn’t that just handing over the territory I’ve fought for over the years?"

"That’s the business proposition we wanted to discuss with you, Grandfather. Jingting and I have a plan that will not only keep you comfortable but also allow you to save face. You just need to enjoy your retirement, and money will keep flowing in your direction. Are you interested?"

Suizi pulled a crafty merchant’s face, offering an irresistible condition, even addressing him as grandfather.

Old Master Hu was tempted, and he inquired about the plan, but Yu Jingting craftily played the emotional card.

"We’ll talk about that after dinner. Business is business, but righteousness is more important. You are my father’s father, which makes you our grandfather too. How could we let our grandfather go hungry?"

No one could outdo Yu Jingting in business, and this tactic of retreating to advance worked extremely well. The old man’s wrinkles smoothed out, though the rumbling of his stomach grew louder.

"That’s the thing, we haven’t even told my father you’re here. He’s probably at home right now worried about you, unable to eat or sleep, pining away..."

Suizi and Yu Jingting were double-teaming to bamboozle the old man. No sooner had she finished this sentence than Yu Shuisheng arrived with Wang Cuihua, their youngest of three in tow.

Old Master Hu’s eyes immediately narrowed. Wasn’t this his disobedient son?

Suizi was also embarrassed.

The boast she had made ah, it was exposed a bit too early.

Yu Shuisheng was taken aback too.

Unable to wait at home for Suizi and her husband to return, and with Huahua nagging by his side, concerned about their son and daughter-in-law.

Yu Shuisheng reasoned it out and decided to take the whole family out for a late-night meal, to get the hotpot out of the way before facing his father with a clear conscience the next day.

All three parties were at an impasse, and Suizi was incredibly anxious.

Her bluff had been called out on the spot, and she truly couldn’t recover from this one. So, she started kicking Yu Jingting under the table. Quick, save the situation!

Yu Jingting sprang to his feet, clapping Old Master Hu on the shoulder, speaking with heartfelt earnestness:

"Look! My father couldn’t even wait until tomorrow to see you; he’s come today! What is this? This is the power of love, the greatness of family, this is—"

"Pfft!" A fart sounded.

The bitter tea with a twist that Suizi had prepared took effect, and Old Master Hu clutched his stomach, bending slightly as he stood up.

"I’ll be back to discuss this in a bit!"
