Chapter 917: Chapter 917 Tiegen Refuses to Act Human Live (Thanks to Shuyue’er + More Updates)
Suizi watched as her father-in-law dragged away her mother-in-law and prepared herself for the unpleasant scene that was about to unfold with Tiegen.
But Suizi, still young, had not anticipated the new low to which Yu Tiegen could stoop!
"I left a blue piece of clothing in his bag in the dressing room."
"???" Suizi’s first reaction was to check her own wardrobe.
Yu Jingting hurriedly waved his hands.
"How could I use yours?" He would have to be brain dead to do that; he couldn’t possibly do such a thing.
"I bought a new one, removed the tag, and told Su Zhe it belonged to our senior sister."
"???" What kind of bizarre tactic was this?
Suizi was already speechless.
"Then I leaned into his ear and recited a passage—you know, from those novels you love, a selection."
Suizi’s eyes widened, this?!
Yu Jingting spread his hands, and then, Su Zhe got ideas.
In a place like a bathhouse, you just can’t hide it.
Yu Jingting seized the opportunity, blackmailed Su Zhe, and settled the arranged marriage.
"A man’s instincts reveal everything; he couldn’t deny it even if he wanted to."
Yu Jingting finished, smugly placing his hands on his hips.
"My dear wife, how about my problem-solving skills?"
Suizi still maintained her look of utter shock; she was too stunned for words.
"Are you despicable or not?" How on earth had he come up with such a thing?
Such a devious idea was beyond Suizi’s imagination; Yu Jingting’s mind simply didn’t work like a normal person’s.
"Without a special approach, would a stubborn mule like Su Zhe listen? In that situation, with someone’s clothing in his hand, he would definitely be thinking of that person! If his first reaction is dislike, even if I recited the entire text, he wouldn’t be interested. But since he was, it means he likes her."
Yu Jingting didn’t want to resort to such "despicable tactics" to begin with.
But Su Zhe was no ordinary person; dealing with him required unorthodox measures, or the answer would surely be negative.
Therefore, a bathhouse, a place where true colors are revealed with nowhere to hide, was the perfect setting.
Suizi patted her chest; her father-in-law was a genius!
It was a good thing he had taken her mother-in-law away. If she had heard this, how would she ever face Su Zhe again?
"I’m more worried about you now. What if Su Zhe concocts something and blows up our house?"
Suizi was genuinely concerned. Putting herself in his shoes, she certainly wouldn’t let Yu Jingting off the hook.
That guy was a rare breed of troublemaker; Su Zhe had really chosen his friends unwisely!
"Blow up what? We’ve introduced him to such a wonderful match; he should be thanking us for his happy future family life," Yu Jingting said nonchalantly, confident in the friendship between men.
However, his words came back to haunt him.
One day in the future, Yu Jingting got a face full of stinky liquid when he opened his car door. The smell was uniquely foul and impossible to wash off.
Disgusted, Suizi banished Yu Jingting to the guest room, allowing him back into the house only after the stench had dissipated.
A chemist seeking revenge certainly has many methods at his disposal, but this little affair of a public recitation in exchange for a stink bomb did not affect the lifelong friendship between the two men.
As the next day dawned, Yu Jingting went early to pick up Su Zhe, who remained sullen and unresponsive throughout the journey.
"Buddy, when you meet the girl, you’ve got to put on a smile. Don’t act like we’re kidnapping the bride or something," Yu Jingting said cheerfully as he drove.
"Yu Tiegen, are you being decent or not?" Su Zhe was so angry that he hadn’t slept all night.
Other than scientific research, it was Yu Tiegen who could occupy his sleep.
"I’m not only decent, but I’m also immensely virtuous. Buddy, let’s speak frankly. If you’re a real man, don’t beat around the bush. You like the girl and she doesn’t dislike you, so it’s not a blind marriage. Isn’t that a great thing? You’d starve with an apple at your lips?"
It took a while for Su Zhe to respond, "I don’t want to hold her back."
The traffic light turned red just then, and Yu Jingting stopped the car and turned to look at him.
"By marrying her and letting her live a comfortable life, well-fed and well-dressed, with dignity and happiness, how is that holding her back? If you marry her and don’t treat her well, that’s the real waste."
"You know what I mean," Su Zhe turned his head to look out the window, aware that his undesirable conditions were a problem he couldn’t ignore.
Suizi was a fine girl, young, pretty, and from a prestigious university, with a family of scholars. By all accounts, she shouldn’t be with a twice-married disabled man like him.
"It’s just a leg, you think that’s worth fussing over?"
"..." Su Zhe fell silent, knowing that to others, it wasn’t a trivial matter.
"I speak bluntly, but my rough words have sensible meaning. A man’s worth can be shown in many ways. You know about what happened with me and my wife. The whole world thought I wasn’t good enough for her, but I wanted to marry her, no one else. I would rather stay single than settle."
Su Zhe turned his head back around.
Very few people knew the beginnings of Yu Jingting and his wife’s story.
By the time Yu Jingting appeared in Beijing, he had already been admitted to a prestigious school. Only a handful knew he had come from the streets, penniless, and married Suizi. Together, they fought their way up from a humble village to where they were now.
"Why did you dare to ask for her hand in the first place?" Su Zhe asked.
A street kid daring to court a community college graduate from the village seemed mismatched to anyone.
"Because I liked her. When I looked at her, I was happy. When she smiled, I wanted to give her every beautiful thing."
"...Because she’s beautiful?"
"She is beautiful, for sure. I’d gladly die for her."
Su Zhe turned his head away, his ears tinged red. Yu Tiegen could be candid to the point of saying anything.
"But that’s not the only reason I like her."
The light turned green, and Yu Jingting drove on.
He rarely bared his soul to anyone. Su Zhe was his brother, and that was why he was willing to speak his mind.
"Marriage is a serious matter. If there’s a woman who makes you envision decades of a blissful life with just one look, then you must marry her. If looking at her makes you think your future might be chaos, then you shouldn’t."
For Yu Jingting, Suizi was someone who reassured him that his future would be wonderful just by being there.
Before marrying her, Yu Jingting felt that her beauty made him happy, her gentleness could resolve family conflicts, her intelligence could give him excellent children, and her scholarly background could add an intellectual luster to his street-born heritage.
After marrying her, he realized that none of what he had thought before was important.
Even when she did nothing but sit quietly and read, he felt a sense of profound peace and fulfillment that made his life worthwhile.
When he was a nobody from the streets, she was the embodiment of all that was beautiful in his heart.
It was only after he broadened his horizons through education that he came to understand all this indescribable sweetness bathed in honey could be summed up with one word.
Love.
