I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 921 is just a tool man

Chapter 921: Chapter 921 is just a tool man

Senior Sister didn’t wait for Jingting to speak and took the initiative to break the silence.

"You know, my uncle is with the City Bureau, and what you guys are doing is already harassment. Are you sure you want to continue like this?"

The rough couple lost half their bluster upon hearing that.

Yu Jingting tugged at the corner of his mouth; his wife indeed had a keen eye and had picked a woman well-suited for Su Zhe.

He opened the car door and briskly dragged the couple out.

With the car door closed, he isolated Senior Sister and Su Zhe inside the vehicle.

Su Zhe tried to leave the car, but Yu Jingting, without turning his head, pointed to the road, "Just sit tight, and don’t bother talking sense to beasts; they don’t understand it."

Against these kinds of people, the methods of civilized folk just don’t work.

You have to let your fists do the talking.

Senior Sister was witnessing this side of Yu Jingting for the first time; she couldn’t close her mouth in shock even through the glass, oh my....

"Jingting’s temper can be a bit explosive, but he’s actually very good to get along with and is extremely loyal to his friends," said Su Zhe, thinking she was scared by what she saw.

He rattled on about Yu Jingting’s good qualities.

Outside the car window, Yu Jingting’s "friendly encounter" with the peculiar couple continued.

Senior Sister’s ears were filled with the low voice of Su Zhe.

"He’s also very good to his family and incredibly patient when it comes to educating children. Even though he can be somewhat harsh with his words at times, he never speaks ill of the people around him."

"Professor Su...."

"Hm?" Su Zhe stopped and looked at her, puzzled.

"You’re not thinking of marrying Yu Jingting, are you?"

"!!!!" Su Zhe’s face registered shock.

Senior Sister laughed at his expression, finding that Professor Su was quite interesting off the clock.

Worried she might dislike his friend, he was desperately saying good things, but the compliments he paid Yu Jingting were amusing to listen to.

"You two must be really close in everyday life, huh? I’ve never heard you talk about anyone like that."

"Close—just not in the way you think!" Su Zhe felt a chill from her absurd assumption and stammered as he tried to explain, his tongue suddenly tying itself in knots.

Watching his reaction, Senior Sister thought he was a lot like the lion dog she had raised as a child: aloof on the surface, but making cute, pigeon-like cooing sounds when seeking affection, appearing proud but secretly clumsy and adorable.

"I’m just teasing you, don’t be nervous."

Su Zhe turned his head away, his earlobes tinged with red, thinking to himself that her joke was not at all funny, even a bit horrifying.

Her playful tease touched his heart, and Senior Sister found herself quite fond of men who could blush.

Yu Jingting, having dealt with those impudent clowns, wanted to open the car door and tell the two inside that it was over.

However, through the glass, he saw Senior Sister looking expectantly at Su Zhe, who was staring outside, but his restless hand was already holding Senior Sister’s.

Or perhaps it was she who had grabbed his.

No matter who initiated it, it was clear they were getting cozy.

Yu Jingting rubbed his fist, which he had just used for punching, and turned away, laughing and cursing to himself.

"I’m out there fighting for you guys, and you two are getting all sticky?"

The romance of an old bachelor is like a fire in an old building; Yu Jingting felt bad about being the one to put it out, so he walked into the Tea House to see how his wife handled things there.

There were no doors in the private rooms of the Tea House, just curtains for separation. Following the sounds, Yu Jingting lifted the curtain and saw the Principal’s wife crying buckets of tears.

His wife, who was sensitive to crying, was wiping away her own tears while passing tissues to the Principal’s wife.

"Auntie, please stop crying. There’s a saying that ’even the toughest rope has its weak point,’ and Su Zhe’s life has been nothing but hardship..." Suizi was trying to console the other woman, but she herself was crying more miserably than anyone else.

In the private room, it was just Suizi with her teacher’s parents. The principal, seeing that the situation wasn’t great, left on his own.

Teacher’s mother was crying as if she were about to pass out, and with equally red eyes, Teacher’s father was patting his wife while asking Suizi,

"What happened after that?"

"After that, Su Zhe divorced Lun Lamei. His parents were so heartless. Their son had been scammed so miserably, but they didn’t care about whether he lived or died. They only blamed Su Zhe for bringing shame to the family and told him to die outside rather than come home."

That part was entirely fabricated by Suizi.

Although a bit exaggerated, Su Zhe’s many years drifting in the capital were indeed marked by his parents’ neglect. They cared, but not much.

Yu Jingting raised his eyebrows. Suizi saw him coming in and gave him a warning glance, signaling not to speak recklessly.

The artsy young man speaks of the tragic history of the scientist, with a little bit of artistic embellishment. So what, so what!

Yu Jingting shrugged, as if to say "You’re gorgeous, do as you please."

"Xiaosu is really pitiful. So young, drifting outside without anyone to love him... From now on, my home is his home. As for that kind of family, he might as well not go back!"

Teacher’s mother’s maternal love overflowed, deeply moved by the "tragic history of the scientist" as told by Suizi, her tears flowing freely.

While Yu Jingting was out fighting, Suizi hadn’t been idle.

She described Su Zhe’s past with exaggerated grief.

She emphasized how he was tricked by his own parents, forced to marry Lun Lamei, how he really wanted to have a good life, but Lun Lamei, a flirt, despised him for his disability and constantly troubled and bullied him.

It was bad enough that her behavior before the marriage was questionable, but after the marriage, she even attempted to frame Su Zhe. Luckily, Su Zhe was clever and used his knowledge to prove that he couldn’t possibly be the culprit.

At this point, Teacher’s father became intrigued and insisted on Suizi recreating the process. Suizi felt a headache coming on. Of all the stuff Su Zhe had talked about, she didn’t understand a thing and quickly shifted the burden back to Su Zhe.

Teacher’s mother was originally somewhat annoyed, blaming Su Zhe’s ex-wife’s relatives for causing trouble.

After hearing what Suizi said, not only did she stop being angry, but she also felt great sympathy for Su Zhe.

Such a talented man, yet so unlucky. His parents were unreliable, and even the wife he married was like that.

"You see, Su Zhe might be on his second marriage now, but don’t laugh—I swear, he hasn’t had any kind of relationship with that woman. She’s my stepsister, and I know her best. She’s charmed almost every young man in our village; she’s very wicked. What she did to me back then—"

Suizi cried as she told the story of how she almost miscarried because of Lun Lamei, and upon hearing this, Teacher’s mother also began to cry. How tragic.

Yu Jingting stood there, unable to get a word in edgewise, thinking that his wife’s knack for sentimental writing for the newspapers had diminished over the years, yet her ability to tug at heartstrings had increased.

All this talent, if not used for scriptwriting and making middle-aged women like his mother cry, is really wasted.

"Jingting, you’re back, huh? Where’s Xiaosu?" Teacher’s father asked.

"He’s outside chatting with Teacher’s sister. They seemed to be getting along well, so I didn’t want to interrupt them."

Just as Yu Jingting finished speaking, a server came with a message.

They said that Teacher’s sister and Su Zhe had gone to watch a movie and that they shouldn’t wait for them.

"What on earth is going on with that family?" Teacher’s father asked.

Yu Jingting gave a brief introduction.

Lun Lamei’s aunt and uncle borrowed a large sum of high-interest loans. Unable to stay in the village and having no way out,

they heard that Su Zhe was doing well in the capital, read about him in the newspapers, and managed to scrape together the travel expenses to come over, thinking that Su Zhe was alone in the city and hoping to extort some money from him.

Unfortunately, they ran straight into Yu Jingting.

Not only did they not gain any benefits, but Suizi also seized the opportunity to vigorously publicize Su Zhe’s tragic history and successfully won the sympathy of Teacher’s parents.

Confirmed as a useful tool.
