Chapter 953: Chapter 953: The person isn’t dead at all

Wang Cuihua was growing anxious waiting inside the house.

She was still waiting for Yu Jingting to talk about the accountant from the Jade Factory who had jumped into the river.

The conversation had cut off halfway, what was the difference between this and a TV drama freezing at a critical moment?

Frantically worried and unable to wait for Yu Jingting, she simply decided to make a round in the kitchen to see if Suizi needed any help.

As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw those two hugging and nibbling at each other.

"Heavens and Lord almighty!" Wang Cuihua cried out in agony, "Your dad and I are waiting for you, and you’re busy snuggling with this shameless wretch?!"

"What’s shameless about a husband kissing his own wife?" Yu Jingting hinted furiously to Suizi with his eyes that they would battle again at night!

He still hadn’t vented the burning jealousy inside him.

This kiss was just a trifle.

Suizi quickly squirmed out of his embrace, embarrassed to death!!!

"Hurry up and bring your bowl inside, let’s eat and talk, you’re killing me with the anticipation."

Wang Cuihua was in and out like the wind.

Suizi felt that it would be extremely awkward not to say anything.

"What about Chen Tong?"

"Don’t mention that little bastard’s name to me; I’m still pissed off."

"What’s wrong, did he offend you?"

"Not him, it’s you."

"Me???"

Looking at her small face, Yu Jingting felt a surge of anger once again.

He really wanted to drag her into the room right now and release all this pent-up frustration...

"I haven’t annoyed anyone," Suizi was really puzzled. It was only now that she sensed he was angry, and the kind that’s not easy to soothe—if changing positions three times wouldn’t make him happy.

But how had this fire started?

"We’ll talk about it later," Yu Jingting grew more incensed the more he thought about it, and pulled her in again, fiercely sucking on her enticing lips.

Inside the room, a low table had been set up, and Yu Jingting sat on a small stool, eating the luxurious sea cucumber noodles his wife had made for him, slurping loudly.

Around the table, a group had gathered; Wang Cuihua and her husband were there to hear the important news.

The boy and girl twins had come to see their dad, missing him after several days apart.

Suizi sat nearby with a dazed expression, and upon closer inspection, her lips were still a little swollen.

"Did you go to that woman’s house? What exactly happened?" Wang Cuihua couldn’t wait to ask.

Yu Jingting slurped a big mouthful of soup; the chicken broth was delicious.

"I did. When I got there, my dad’s money still hadn’t arrived."

Back then, remittance was very slow; it wasn’t instantaneous and could take several days.

"Wife, you really prepped this sea cucumber well, it tastes amazing," Yu Jingting heaped praise on the sea cucumbers his wife prepared, intentionally dragging his feet to tell more.

Seeing him stuffing his face without touching on the matter at hand, Wang Cuihua, pointing at Yu Jingting’s father, said in frustration:

"Snatch away his bowl; he’s eaten all the good stuff like eggs, prawns, sea cucumbers, and abalone, just leave him some noodles! This unfilial son doesn’t deserve the good food!"

Yu Jingting stuffed the food into his mouth with the fastest speed possible, guarding his meal.

"Eat slowly, don’t choke..." Suizi was speechless, this whole family was truly childish.

Once full, Yu Jingting finally stopped beating around the bush before his mother completely lost her temper.

When he’d rushed over, Zhao Si was still defiant and disgruntled, seeing Yu Jingting as merely a junior, someone who had no place to interfere with his business.

He boasted about having shed blood and earned merits for Boss, but Yu Jingting could tell from his arrogant demeanor that the guy had zero remorse.

After stirring up such a fatal incident, Zhao Si was still banking on his past glorifications, oblivious to the magnitude of the issue.

Acting decisively, Yu Jingting fired him on the spot, his wife was right.

Having such a person around would inevitably spell disaster sooner or later.

His father seldom focused on the Jade Factory and rarely visited; Zhao Si almost had free rein there, with all his misdeeds piling on his father’s shoulders.

"So, you took him to the station?" Uncle Si hadn’t received a call from Zhao Si in the past couple of days. Apparently, there had been two calls, but he wasn’t at home; the nanny answered them.

The dialects were different, and it was all gibberish, not understanding what was said.

"Yes, but he was released on the same day he was taken in."

"Why?" Suizi was puzzled.

He was already suspected of threatening and intimidating someone to the point of losing their life—how could he not take any responsibility?

"The victim showed up, denied ever being threatened, and the police were helpless with both sides denying it."

"The victim... Xu Achun? Was she the older or younger sister of the deceased?" Suizi remembered that the family member of the deceased who received the money transfer from her father-in-law had this name.

"Xu Achun came with Xu Amei."

"Good heavens! Appeared holding the urn?!" Wang Cuihua was shocked, pale from morning till night, terrifying indeed.

"Came out with the person."

"???"

Suizi caught on.

"You mean, Xu Amei, isn’t dead?!"

Yu Jingting nodded, that was indeed the case.

Now everyone was confused about what was going on—what kind of plot was this? It sounded quite messy.

When Yu Jingting first heard Xu Amei wasn’t dead, his reaction was just like that of his family now, finding the world too fantastical.

Xu Amei was the accountant at the Jade Factory, and due to cooking the books, she was threatened by Zhao Si, and they also had an improper relationship.

In a fit of rage, she jumped into the river.

Since her body wasn’t found, her family thought she was dead.

Because the river was particularly treacherous, it often claimed lives.

Boss wanted to settle the matter quickly and therefore sent money to her family.

When Yu Jingting went to investigate, Xu Amei had just returned home.

As it turned out, she didn’t die after jumping into the river but was saved by someone. Due to shame, she didn’t want to go home and wandered around until she had no other choice but to return.

If she had returned home a day later, she would have been declared dead.

Her family couldn’t keep it a secret any longer and could only bring her to Yu Jingting, hoping for a settlement.

"The demand from the Xu family is to cover the money that Xu Amei embezzled, and they will refund the money my father sent, all they hope is that we don’t press charges."

"If the money’s recovered, we don’t need to file a lawsuit," Boss quickly decided.

Suizi looked down; she had guessed her father-in-law would react like this, still protecting Zhao Si.

Insisting on filing a lawsuit would inevitably lead the investigation to Zhao Si. Boss was clearly not interested in pursuing the matter.

Zhao Si had chosen the right master; indeed, Boss was known for his loyalty.

Yu Jingting looked at his father, who was protecting his own, with a slightly wicked grin.

"But, the Xu family has one more condition."

"What is it?"

"They want you to find a way to facilitate a divorce between Zhao Si and his wife, and have him marry Xu Amei because she is pregnant with Zhao Si’s child. That is also the reason she came back."

"...Damn!" Boss was stunned.

Wang Cuihua was even more vocal, cursing directly, reaching out to twist Boss’s ear.

"Poor management of your subordinates—this is your karmic retribution! You wanted to protect this kind of person with immoral behavior, well, protect him and see how you’ll clean up this mess! Ah, I feel so sorry for Zhao Si’s wife to be tied to such a man."

Yu Jingting wore an expression of watching a drama, enjoying the sight of his father being disciplined by his mother, feeling that it was well deserved.

Suizi let out a long sigh of relief.

This was good.

She thought, not very kindly, that this would be a lesson for her father-in-law. He would definitely pay attention to this aspect of his subordinates’ management in the future.

Yu Jingting probably thought the same, which was why, despite having the capability to deal with the situation, he still left it to his father to clean up.

But there was one thing that Suizi really couldn’t understand.
