Chapter 931: Chapter 931 The Cost of Being Sensible is Happiness (Extra Chapter for 250+ monthly passes)

Li Tieguang came back to find his 2+1 home surrounded by layers of onlookers, inside and out.

Li Tieguang’s heart skipped a beat, not understanding how his secret had been exposed.

They had moved to 2+1 over half a year ago and everything had been peaceful; his wife was so dull that she didn’t even realize he was having an affair right under her nose.

At that moment, the war inside the house had reached a fever pitch.

The mother-in-law was pulling the mistress’s hair, tearing at her clothes.

Li Tieguang turned, thinking to sneak away while no one was paying attention to him.

"Boss Li is back, oh ho~" Someone from the crowd shouted, and unkindly whistled.

Li Tieguang cursed the shouter in his heart, realizing he couldn’t escape now.

He turned around angrily, wanting to see who was being so mean-spirited.

Yu Jingting whistled and looked up at the sky, indeed, he did good deeds without leaving his name.

When Li Tieguang saw Yu Jingting, his expression instantly turned to one of horror.

Yu Jingting strode over majestically, reached out his hand, and shook hands with him warmly.

"Boss Li! Meeting for the first time, I have been missing you greatly!"

Hearing these words, Li Tieguang broke out in a cold sweat, immediately guessing that Yu Jingting knew everything.

Meeting for the first time, how could it possibly be "missing you greatly"?

This was clearly telling Li Tieguang that Yu Jingting knew about all his despicable deeds.

Thinking about it, his mother-in-law bringing over a gaggle of relatives to make a scene may very well have been at the instigation of Yu Jingting.

Li Tieguang’s legs were shaking, but he could only maintain a rigid smile and shake hands, as Yu Jingting’s face beamed with a smile, as though the two were long-lost brothers reuniting with great affection.

He leaned forward, whispering in his ear with a voice only they could hear:

"Why the shakes? Save your strength, you’ll have more shaking to do later."

Speaking such chilling words with a laughing tone, Li Tieguang truly experienced the prowess of the young Boss Yu.

Their meeting and handshake lasted no more than a minute.

The rowdy women inside the house saw Li Tieguang coming back and rushed at him all at once.

Yu Jingting patted Li Tieguang on the shoulder twice with a beaming smile, "Boss Li, what great fortune you have."

Li Tieguang felt his shoulder being pushed, and the next moment he fell into the crowd of women, dragged into the fray.

Wang Cuihua stood next to her son, her eyes glued to the chaotically fighting group in front of her, occasionally clicking her tongue and discussing with Yu Jingting.

"Your father really should come and see what becomes of a faithless man."

This comment garnered strong agreement from the surrounding women, who all nodded in unison. In this era of simple values, a man who sought an affair deserved to be spit on by everyone until he drowned.

"No need, my father wouldn’t bother watching this sort of thing. You still don’t know him? The only females who get close to him are female mosquitoes. They assigned him a female driver, and he managed to drive her away with his scolding."

Yu Jingting thought his father was the most virtuous man—coincidentally, his father also privately disparaged his son this way. Father and son dissed each other without letting the other know.

Wang Cuihua showed a very satisfied but restrained expression, nodding to the envious looks sent by the other women, keeping it low-key, low-key.

Yu Jingting, along with his mother, watched the entire drama unfold from beginning to end.

Those women ripped into the mistress and scolded Li Tieguang. Li Tieguang tried several times to close the door but was scolded back each time by his wife, who wanted the neighbors to weigh in on the matter. Wang Cuihua shook her head as she watched.

"Let’s go, there’s nothing worth watching here. It’s not any more interesting than those trysts we used to catch on the kang back in our village."

If a woman in the village had been caught cheating, her husband would drag her onto the street and beat her, parading her around the village.

Even after moving to the city, it was the same old story and Wang Cuihua found it lacked creativity.

"You ask for some excitement, but when it’s served up, you find it boring? How are you so hard to please?"

"Isn’t it just like watching a soap opera? You feel like you’re missing out if you don’t watch it, but once you do, it’s just the same old thing. Let’s hurry to the train station to pick up someone, Ma Dong must have arrived by now?"

Ma Dong’s train arrived on time. Yu Jingting, there to meet him, saw a thin little boy looking around everywhere.

"Dad!" Ma Dong was very happy to see him.

Yu Jingting picked him up and felt his weight, frowning dissatisfiedly.

"It’s been half a year, how come you haven’t grown taller? Have you been picky with your food?"

Ma Dong was ten years old this year, but he appeared to be more like seven or eight. Yu Jingting was especially worried that the child would grow up to be short.

"Where’s Mom?" Ma Dong looked around.

"She’s probably just gotten off work and is at home making you something delicious. Come on, get in the car." Yu Jingting took Ma Dong’s luggage and Wang Cuihua supported Grandma Ma.

The luggage was a bit heavy, and Yu Jingting weighed it, frowning at the person who had brought Ma Dong.

"Yang Qier, why did you let my son carry such a heavy bag?"

"Brother Jing, the kid is just too sensible. He insisted on carrying it himself. He even insisted on buying me instant noodles on the train. I..." Yang Qier was frantically wringing his hands. It wasn’t that he neglected the child.

It was just that Ma Dong didn’t want to trouble him, and he had insisted on treating him to something. Eating the noodles had made Yang Qier’s conscience twist in pain; he couldn’t bear it but didn’t want to disappoint the child either.

"Well done, my son is a man." Yu Jingting knew it at a glance; Ma Dong was just too understanding.

Comparing Ma Dong with Chen Tong, who were about the same age, their personalities couldn’t be more different. One was overly cunning, while the other, despite his young age, already showed a sense of responsibility. It’s no wonder Suizi had him call them mom and dad directly; she truly liked Ma Dong.

Suizi had prepared a whole table of food. When she saw Ma Dong walk in with a yellowish complexion, her eyes reddened.

The child obviously hadn’t slept well for several nights. The dark circles under his eyes were frightening.

While Grandma Ma rested, Suizi took Ma Dong into the room to show concern and comfort him. The child had a lot on his mind and after only a few words, he took out a passbook and a piece of paper from his bag and handed them to Suizi.

"Mom, this is our land certificate and a bit of money Grandma saved. I’m not sure if it’s enough for the medical expenses. I wanted to write you an IOU."

"We have money; we don’t need yours. Plus, medical care in the city isn’t that expensive. Your grandpa’s company covers it all," Suizi lied on purpose. She knew from the phone call that the child was worried about the medical expenses, and she had agreed on this story with Yu Jingting.

"Won’t it cause trouble for Grandpa?" Ma Dong didn’t immediately believe it and kept confirming with Suizi.

"Your grandpa is a consultant at the minefield. He earns a lot of money for the country every year. The higher-ups look after him, and we hardly spend anything on medical care for the whole family. You can rest assured and let your grandma get her treatment without worrying about anything."

Ma Dong finally felt relieved. The boy and girl twins ran in looking for him, and Luoluo threw herself at him as soon as she saw him, insisting that Ma Dong hold her.

Ma Dong had saved her when she was just a baby, without any memories of it, but somehow, the two children got along very well. Every time Ma Dong came to visit and had to leave, Luoluo would throw a big fuss.

Suizi told the three children to go and play. When she checked her pocket, she found that a passbook and the land certificate had mysteriously appeared inside—it was Ma Dong who had secretly slipped them in.

"This child, how can he be so sensible at such a young age?" Suizi safely tucked away the passbook, planning to secretly slip it back to the child when he left.

"His family consists only of him and his grandma; he had to grow up early," Yu Jingting said, seeing himself in Ma Dong from the years his own father was absent—he had come through in the same way.

Premature maturity and sensibility, these seemingly positive qualities, are often accompanied by a past full of scars.
