Chapter 919: Chapter 919 How Embarrassing to Come

This meal did not turn out to be as awkward as I had imagined.

Although both the men and women started off a bit uneasy, where Yu Jingting was, the awkwardness simply couldn’t settle in.

A few words were all it took to liven up the atmosphere, and Suizi was happy to play second fiddle.

Her mother-in-law loves to set people up when she has nothing to do, and Suizi, through constant exposure, had learned the tricks of the matchmaking trade quite thoroughly.

After praising the lady, she would turn to praise the gentleman, singing the praises of each in turn.

"My senior sister may not show off on regular days, but when it comes to our professional courses, even our tutor is full of nothing but praise for her. This year, she even published three papers in authoritative journals."

"Only two... and one of them was co-authored with a senior brother." The senior sister was a down-to-earth person, and Suizi’s wild boasting made her little face turn red, adding even more charm.

"Such a genuine person, you can tell she’s cut out for a simple life. Actually, our Su Zhe is also very straightforward. When you’re with him, you don’t have to worry about him being duplicitous, he’s an open book," Yu Jingting quickly picked up the conversation.

Abiding by the principle that a blind date is like a mutual business endorsement, he teamed up with Suizi.

Yu Jingting was calm on the surface, but inside, he was getting anxious for Su Zhe.

They were halfway through their meal, and Su Zhe had barely said a few words, sitting there like a bump on a log. How can this work?

If it weren’t for his eyes wandering over to the senior sister every now and then, Yu Jingting would have thought Su Zhe wasn’t interested in the lady.

But it wasn’t enough for only him to know; Su Zhe had to show it himself.

Yu Jingting kicked Su Zhe under the table, signaling it was his turn to speak.

"Why did you kick me?" Su Zhe asked as he put down his chopsticks and looked at Yu Jingting.

"Oh my god." Yu Jingting groaned, holding his forehead in distress.

He told him to be genuine, not this genuine!

The senior sister couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this.

She actively picked up some food with her chopsticks and offered them to Su Zhe.

"This is tasty, try it."

Su Zhe paused, then gave the girl a smile. He wanted to say something, but not knowing where to start, he simply took the food and ate it.

"It’s delicious, you should have some more," he said.

Suizi and her husband exchanged smiles. It was a done deal.

Every couple has their own way of being together, you can’t expect Su Zhe to be as eloquent as Yu Jingting. As long as the two of them get along without any issues, that’s what’s best.

It was clear that the senior sister was truly satisfied with Su Zhe, especially after that jar of liquid supplement salts before, which made Su Zhe’s status in her heart soar.

Suizi later reflected on the senior sister’s thought process.

Coming from a family where her parents were affectionate for many years, a child from such a family would compare prospective partners against her own father’s standard.

And from any angle, Su Zhe was the "upgraded version" of her father; that jar of inadequately proportioned liquid supplement salts simply maxed out his appeal.

What Suizi deemed as dull and obtuse turned out to be a perfect strike, winning the fair lady’s heart.

During the rest of the meal, the senior sister asked a lot about Su Zhe’s work, to which he replied methodically.

Listening by the side, Yu Jingting felt as if he were listening to a work report to a superior, meticulous but lacking warmth.

However, the senior sister listened attentively, nodding all the while, obviously content.

Two straightforward people coming together, hoping they express sweet nothings like the artistic Suizi, would be impossible. But for them, this way of interaction was perfect, it was fate.

After the meal, while Su Zhe was paying the bill, Suizi sneaked two movie tickets out of Yu Jingting’s pocket and handed them to the senior sister.

"You’ve got nothing else planned for tonight, ask him out to a movie."

"Isn’t his laboratory busy?" The Tutor’s sister really wanted to see it, there’s a ghost movie that recently came out that’s said to be quite good.

"It’s precisely because he’s busy that I need to drag him out. It’s after work hours now, he needs to have some personal life. You can’t be working all the time. A balance between work and leisure can make you twice as effective. Focusing solely on work can easily wear someone out."

Upon reflection, the Tutor’s sister agreed.

She happily took the movie tickets and reached into her pocket to give Suizi money.

Yu Jingting, standing nearby, saw this gesture and firmly believed she was suitable for Su Zhe.

She’s not secretive or reluctant to take advantage of others’ small kindnesses—her values align perfectly with Su Zhe’s.

"Keep it. Su Zhe says he’s our kid’s godfather, but he’s also a business partner of my family. You’ll understand all this later on."

Suizi didn’t disclose Su Zhe’s financial status directly, wanting to let Su Zhe reveal it to the Tutor’s sister over time.

Outsiders think Su Zhe only has a fixed salary, believing that doing research isn’t as profitable as doing business, but in reality, Su Zhe gets a substantial dividend every year.

Suizi’s family doesn’t have any real business at the moment but, after accumulating capital, having their own business is inevitable. And someone as talented as Su Zhe is definitely a person they would want to attract. Su Zhe himself isn’t focused on money; his dividends just sit in the bank untouched.

Scientists often have little pursuit of material life, living in dorms, eating in the Cafeteria, and sometimes even suffering from malnutrition due to being overly focused on work.

But that doesn’t mean they are destitute.

Suizi had already started calculating in her mind. Once Su Zhe and the Tutor’s sister were married, she would persuade the Tutor’s sister no matter what to use Su Zhe’s little gold mine to buy a house within the second ring road of Beijing. For a couple both pursuing academic careers, real estate was the best financial choice.

Since Su Zhe was taking a bit longer than expected, Suizi and her husband felt something was off and went downstairs with the Tutor’s sister to check.

Downstairs, a fight had broken out.

The main characters of the commotion were none other than Su Zhe.

A middle-aged couple was grabbing onto Su Zhe in the lobby, refusing to let go, rapidly spouting their hometown dialect, surrounded by onlookers.

"They look familiar—Who are they again?" Suizi gazed at the middle-aged couple, feeling that she had seen them before but couldn’t quite recall.

"Lun Lamei’s aunt and uncle," Yu Jingting disclosed their identities.

Suizi’s mind went blank.

This...?

These people, who had virtually no connection to the current situation, how did they suddenly show up?

Since the divorce, Lun Lamei had completely severed all contact with Su Zhe.

Lun Lamei had gone to extremes in the past, falsely accusing Su Zhe of being a murderer and ended up landing herself in jail.

That Su Zhe had not retaliated or kicked her while she was down already showed his great decency.

How could Lun Lamei’s relatives have the audacity to travel all the way from Dongbei to Beijing to bother Su Zhe?

What made it even harder for Suizi to comprehend was that today was Su Zhe’s big day, and these two showing up at this time was incredibly aggravating.

"Dad? Mom? What are you doing here?" The Tutor’s sister’s gaze fell to the side, where she spotted her parents.

Upon hearing this, Suizi’s head started spinning even more.

Now it really turned into a major fracas, one trouble following another. She nudged Yu Jingting anxiously.

Hurry up and think of something!

Yu Jingting strode forward, grabbed Lun Lamei’s uncle by the collar, and told him to stop holding onto Su Zhe’s arm.

"Go back to where you came from. I haven’t come knocking on your door, and you dare to show up here?"

Yu Jingting had undergone quite a transformation in the past two years, losing the arrogance he had when he was the ’lawless thug’ back in the village after receiving an education. But to those who knew him from the Wang Family compound, his deterrence was still palpable.

Upon seeing Yu Jingting, the couple noticeably restrained themselves, no longer daring to point and yell at Su Zhe as before. Clearly reluctant to let the ’easy prey’ they nearly had slip away from their grasp, especially now that Su Zhe was making a name for himself.
