Chapter 951: Chapter 951 Heed advice and have a full meal

Suizi had been listening to Yu Jingting’s intense outburst all along the way.

Chen Tong managed to retort aggravatedly at first, but later on, whether he fell asleep out of exhaustion, or passed out due to anger, there was no more noise from him.

When the car arrived home, Yu Jingting skillfully pulled out a hemp rope from under the seat—don’t ask why he had this on the car, just know that there was a hemp sack in the trunk as well.

He tied Chen Tong up securely and, like carrying a small pig, hoisted him onto his shoulder.

He carried him in head down.

"Why are you tying him up?" Suizi asked.

"This kid, Huahua, has too many slippery tricks up his sleeve. I’m binding him to interrogate him," he responded.

"Won’t this be a blow to him?"

Suizi was worried that Chen Tong couldn’t handle it. He had just witnessed a family member die right before his eyes, and now Yu Jingting was handling him like this. Wouldn’t this lead to depression?

"A blow to him? Ai Ma, wife, you are giving him too much credit. Only those with a kind heart can be hurt by such things. Is he kind? A viper’s teeth, a hornet’s sting, combined together are not even one-tenth as poisonous as he is. If he doesn’t go around harming others, it would be a great fortune for this world, and you still expect him to be hurt by my little gestures?"

"Uh—" Suizi initially wanted to defend him with a few words, but she was at a loss for words because everything Yu Jingting said was true.

"I also can’t understand it. He has always been very obedient and filial in front of me, so how could he have been so bad when he was young?"

Because the foster son had always been filial, it was precisely why Suizi felt so heartbroken when she mistook him for a traitor.

After her rebirth, when she observed Chen Tong’s youth again, she realized that this child, whom she had thought was very gentle, had been cruel and ruthless from a young age.

The inherent badness that Chen Tong had as a child made Suizi logically conclude that him becoming a traitor was an inevitable outcome, but he came back claiming that he had not turned traitor.

This caused a profound sense of cognitive dissonance in Suizi, uncertain which Chen Tong was the real one.

"You are caught in the thick of it. Let me, as an outsider, say a few words—though they might be a bit blunt and not so pleasant to hear," Yu Jingting said.

Suizi nodded.

"Wife, you are good in many ways, but when it comes to judging people, you can occasionally be off the mark... Do you admit that?"

Suizi nodded.

In her previous life, she hadn’t seen through Li Youcai and had been killed. It was her shortcoming and she had to admit it.

"Why is that? Because you are kind-hearted. You don’t want to suspect others with the worst possible intentions. This is the quality that attracts me to you, but it is also your fatal weakness. Unless someone strikes you first, you will not strike back. But if you wait until you are hit before retaliating, wouldn’t it be too late?"

Yu Jingting had a personality completely opposite of Suizi’s. He could compensate for her fatal weakness, and similarly, Suizi could compensate for his.

Their respective values when they were separate were far less than when they came together.

"But aside from feeling upset about him being a traitor, he’s always been devoted to me. Now that I know being a traitor was a misunderstanding, I don’t have any reason to reject my devoted child. You want me to target him for no reason; I can’t do that."

"I won’t rule out the possibility that this kid treats you differently than he does others. But you can’t say he is a good person just because he is only good to you, right? If he continues doing unspeakable things behind your back, your sense of responsibility will still upset you."

As an intimate couple, they spoke harshly to each other, but every word was to the point, and Suizi took every sentence to heart.

"Your business is my business. If you can’t be ruthless, I can. Leave this brat to me. It takes a villain to grind down another villain."

"...Why do you call yourself a villain?"

"I never claim to be a good person. Therefore, I tend to suspect the worst of people I don’t know. This brat is not for you to handle; leave him to me."

"Every time, because of him, you have to worry for me—" Suizi felt she was causing him trouble.

"Spouting nonsense again? If you could handle everything by yourself, what would you need me for?"

Yu Jingting was fully confident he could take care of Chen Tong, with one goal in mind: to prevent his wife from getting upset.

Twelve-year-old Chen Tong was no match for him, and neither was the thirty-something Chen Tong.

"Hmm, you’re the best," Suizi said with curved eyes, suddenly feeling cheerful.

"It’s my wife who’s the best. There aren’t many people in the world who can take advice from others, most feel like they will never do anything wrong in their entire lives, but everyone’s living in a muddle, so my wife is a wise person," after Yu Jingting said something sharp, he started showering her with colorful praise again.

He made Suizi smile from ear to ear, he was the best man in the world, bar none.

Chen Tong woke up on Yu Jingting’s shoulder and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Had he come back just to see how well she was doing? This crap was really worse than dying.

When Wang Cuihua saw her son come back, with Chen Tong on his shoulder, she didn’t even know what to ask first, she was dumbfounded.

"Well—there’s some leftover noodles, shall I reheat them for you?"

"I’ll roll out a new bowl for Jingting," Suizi couldn’t bear to let him eat leftovers, he had just come back from a flight, he definitely hadn’t had a proper meal on the road, her heart ached.

Yu Jingting raised his chin, arrogantly speaking to his mother, "Old lady, you must be my stepmother, right? Your son has been tormented over the issue with your partner up till now, and you want me to eat leftovers?"

He air-kissed towards Suizi.

"It’s my wife who really cares for me, she’s the true wife."

Chen Tong felt provoked again. Is this still the conservative 1980s? Wasn’t it said that holding hands was considered indecent? These two were always being sweet with each other, and nobody cared to manage them?

"Scram, kiddo. You didn’t call home yesterday, your mother was so worried she couldn’t sleep," Fourth Master came out of the house, gallantly defending his wife.

Having her concerns exposed, Wang Cuihua was a bit embarrassed and pretended to be busy in the kitchen, still rambling on to save face:

"I’m not worried about this ungrateful kid at all; I simply couldn’t sleep."

"Is the matter settled?" Fourth Master asked.

"Everything’s been taken care of; I’ll handle this guy later and talk about it at dinner—Wife, add two more eggs for me, I need to recuperate."

"Mhm, I’ll cook two eggs for you, and add a sea cucumber."

"Just make one for me, don’t give it to this kid; he’s still growing, consuming too many tonics is bad for his health."

Yu Jingting poked Chen Tong on the shoulder.

"Shouldn’t we nourish even more during a growth spurt?" Wang Cuihua was puzzled.

"Other people nourish themselves to grow taller; he nourishes his slyness, mainly bad intentions. In order not to let him grow too cunning, next time he comes over, just give him cabbage and tofu."

Suizi hesitated to speak, while Chen Tong was screaming inside, hoping Suizi would speak up for him.

Yu Jingting was way too arrogant.

"Overindulgent mothers create spoiled children," Yu Jingting said while looking at Suizi.

"Alright, then I’ll leave him to you," Suizi quickly backed off.

Yu Jingting carried Chen Tong into the Study Room, and once the door was closed, no sound could be heard from outside.

"Suizi, what’s going on here? Didn’t that kid say he wouldn’t let him come over to our house in the future?" Wang Cuihua remembered, her daughter-in-law used to really dislike Chen Tong

"It’s a long story, in short, I trust Jingting on this one."

Yu Jingting was right, so she listened with an open mind.

Listening to advice fills the belly.
