Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Probably Mentally Unstable

Behind Suizi stood a young man wearing a shirt with a blue base and a plethora of flowers, with red lips and white teeth, casually pocketing one hand and spunkily confronting the store clerk.

Suizi was startled to see him.

Wasn’t this guy the very Zhang Zheng who had caused Yu Jingting to be jealous and torment her all night long?!

At this moment, he was standing right behind Suizi, less than forty centimeters away from her; this distance had well crossed the 1.2-meter safety buffer commonly maintained between people, and Suizi found it extremely uncomfortable given they were not well acquainted.

She could even smell the scent of the cologne on Zhang Zheng.

Since returning, Suizi had seldom smelled men’s cologne; there were no such dapper gentlemen around her.

On the other hand, Jinnan, being the boss, chose specifically to spray men’s cologne.

Suizi even believed that Zhang Zheng’s cologne was probably the same brand as Jinnan’s; the scent was almost identical.

The top note was citrus, followed by the base note of amber; it possessed a distinctive masculine allure— the key point was that it didn’t seem out of place even when Jinnan wore it.

Last time Jinnan came to see her, Suizi was literally sniffing all over her, very fond of that fragrance.

Yu Jingting almost had his nose bent out of shape from irritation, insisting on squaring off with Jinnan to restore his mental equilibrium.

Luckily Jinnan was a woman; if she had been a man, Yu Jingting would have probably blown the roof off the house.

Because Zhang Zheng and Jinnan had the same cologne, Suizi stood dumbfounded for a few seconds. In that brief time, Zhang Zheng moved even closer.

Suizi, feeling that something was amiss, instinctively took a big step towards her older sister.

The store clerk, verbally jostled by Zhang Zheng, wanted to retort, but hesitated upon seeing his flamboyant clothes, the words dying on her lips.

Dressed so flashily—they must be some punk, right?

Decent people don’t wear flowery shirts!

If they were to start a fight over a disagreement, what would she do? Concerned about this, the clerk dared not be as aggressive, though her words were still sharp.

"Are you together? You can only try it after you buy it, or else if you break it, you can’t afford it."

"Heh, treating a shabby mattress like a treasure; if it would break just by sitting on it, why even bother selling it?" After saying this, Zhang Zheng kicked out.

His boots left clear marks on the plastic.

The senior was dumbfounded by the side, wondering where this rage came from.

Just as she was about to ask Suizi if she knew him, she saw Suizi silently retreating and secretly waving at her.

The senior got the hint, carefully moving towards the exit with Suizi.

Seeing Zhang Zheng becoming physical, the store clerk hurriedly called for others, and several salespeople surrounded them.

Zhang Zheng, who had meant to show off in front of Suizi and demonstrate his manly valor, turned around only to see the backs of Suizi and her senior.

Zhang Zheng: ...?

He stood up for her, and she had just left without even saying thanks?

No, hers was not merely walking away.

She was jogging.

And she was dragging her companion along, as if afraid of getting caught up in the trouble if they ran too slowly?

The Yu Family’s top "military adviser" was such a disloyal person?

At this point, Zhang Zheng was full of question marks.

Once outside the mall, Suizi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw no one was behind them.

The senior had run out of breath being pulled by her.

Bent over and gasping, she said, "It wasn’t us that damaged their stuff, why are you running?"

"Don’t you think he’s a psychopath?" Suizi asked.

"That’s weird coming from you—I heard from old Su that your man might have gotten into scuffles before, and there wasn’t anyone he didn’t beat up."

So, why does Suizi worship her man so much that every time she mentions Yu Jingting, Suizi could endlessly praise him for two hours straight, pure adoration!

Suizi is puzzled, this question seems very strange to her.

"My Jingting does have a sense of chivalry, but he would never lift a hand for a woman outside our family."

Yu Jingting values fairness above all.

He can’t stand to hear Suizi speak highly of other men, and he makes sure never to praise other women himself.

That’s why Suizi has never been genuinely angry about his baseless jealousy and attempts to take advantage.

Marriage, after all, is built upon a contract established on mutual recognition, with boundaries set from the start. If no one crosses the line, where’s the conflict?

Therefore, Suizi didn’t feel the slightest bit moved by Zhang Zheng’s act of defending an unknown woman, even resorting to physical confrontation.

In fact, she was even a bit scared—wasn’t this a sign of mental instability?

"But wasn’t he trying to help us?" her sister-in-law hadn’t thought it through yet.

"Think about it, if today your husband old Su saw another girl in trouble and he got into a fight for her, wouldn’t you find that strange?"

Talking things out is fine, but getting physical is going too far.

It’s normal to say a few words if you witness injustice, but getting physical, doesn’t that seem too aggressive?

And Suizi also feels that she could have handled the situation herself and didn’t need him to interfere, especially since he only made things messier.

Should she have stayed there to thank him, or not?

Either option feels awkward, better to make a quick exit.

"Now that you mention it, it really does seem..."

"We don’t even know him, and he just came out of nowhere like that, it’s so weird. Let’s shop at a different mall, this place isn’t safe."

Suizi felt a bit regretful; she had been thinking about introducing Yu Jingting to Zhang Zheng earlier since the business circle wasn’t that big, and they were bound to run into each other sooner or later.

To think that Zhang Zheng had such a bad temper, maybe even a case of mania? Such a person was not worth cooperating with.

Thinking it all through, Suizi came to one conclusion: her Jingting was indeed a divine figure; he had discerned in a single encounter that the other party was unfit for cooperation. How could she help falling for him even more?

Zhang Zheng left the mall, blending into the bustling crowd, Suizi’s figure long gone.

"Zheng, why did you come out alone?" A man with a camera hanging around his neck stood up from a stone block.

"Did you see Chen Hansui? Which direction did she go?" Zhang Zheng asked.

The original plan was to casually run into Suizi inside the mall, and after the two came out, a friend would take pictures to fabricate the illusion of them frequenting the place together.

Instead, his carefully planned encounter fell apart when Suizi ran... ran away...

Zhang Zheng had never felt such a blow to his self-esteem.

"Nope, I thought you two might chat for a while inside so I went to eat fried liver nearby." Xiao Wu licked the corner of his mouth; the fried liver at this place was truly delicious.

Zhang Zheng was so furious he kicked him, causing him to stumble.

"Go eat shit! Can’t even get a simple job done!"

Suizi had been shopping all afternoon and still hadn’t managed to buy a mattress.

She didn’t encounter the same disdainful treatment in other malls, but after trying two mattresses, she thought they were too noisy.

When she got back, she was moaning and groaning with back pain, lying on the bed, feeling more and more aggrieved.

"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?" Jiaojiao saw Suizi looking dejected and came over to ask.

"Don’t mention it. Today was a case of ’trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice.’" Suizi buried her head in the pillow, utterly frustrated.

She had intended to buy a good mattress to improve their life but ended up without a mattress after all the hassle, her legs ached from all the walking, and on top of that, she encountered a psychopath!

"Should I give you a massage?" Jiaojiao remembered her mother had brewed plenty of medicinal liquor, which would be perfect for this.

"Okay—no!" Suizi sat up abruptly.
