Chapter 248: Chapter 248: The Brownnoser Hits the Horseshoe

Suizi’s coat pocket had "bled"!

The thick, pink liquid drop by drop, fell onto the smooth ground, startling to behold.

Suizi herself was taken aback, initially thinking it was a supernatural occurrence.

She put her hand into her pocket and rummaged.

Melted ice-cream was fished out.

"How did you put this stuff into your pocket, especially near the heater?" Wang Hui always thought that Suizi was a neat and smart girl; such action did not seem like something she would do.

Suizi’s nerves began to twitch.

It must have been Yu Jingting who had sneakily put it in her pocket!

When she entered the room, she had taken off her coat and hung it on the rack. The rack was near the heater, and this kind of ice cream, with high butter content, melts quickly when exposed to high temperatures.

It was even strawberry flavored ...

Suizi looked at the half-melted Egg Roll in her hand, heartbroken, as she didn’t have a chance to taste it all winter.

"Quickly get a bowl to save it, it can still be eaten if refrozen." Wang Hui suggested.

Yu Jingting strolled into the room, whistling. He guessed his wife had already found the surprise he left for her.

Maybe, she would even cheer up and not be so upset.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of strawberry ice cream; see how rich the flavor was~

When he entered the room, he immediately understood why the smell was so strong. There was a large puddle on the floor, and Wang Hui was helping Suizi clean it up. Due to her pregnancy, Suizi was having trouble bending over.

"Wife, did you make a mess while eating?" he asked.

"You... are so smart." Suizi wanted to say, you have a leaking brain. If not, you would not have done such a foolish thing.

But seeing Wang Hui there, she clenched her teeth to suppress her anger, and managed to squeeze out a dazzling smile.

Yu Jingting felt a chill on his back, and took two steps back. When he saw his wife’s wet pocket and evaluated the situation, he understood.

He had shot himself in the foot!

This is it?!

"Sister Wang, leave it to me to clean up! Wife, sit down and don’t move. It’s just ice cream, I can buy a few more."

While Sister Wang wasn’t looking, Suizi pinched him hard on his waist. What a fool! When the guest left, he would pay for this!

Sister Wang had too many worries right now to take notice of the cute flirting between the couple; she was still hoping Suizi could help her figure things out.

"Suizi, what do you think I should do about this? Give me some advice."

Yu Jingting sat down to clean the floor, and perked his ears to listen to the sisters’ chat unabashedly.

"This problem is actually quite simple. If you insist on paying, I’m willing to help, it’s not a big amount of money. But are you sure, if we pay, they will let the kid go?"

Suizi broke it down for her.

"Although we mostly want to believe that a child’s grandmother is a good person, which good-hearted person of normal families will open her mouth for money during this time?"

The child’s father committed suicide out of guilt, this poor child.

Any decent grandmother should understand the tough life the child has, and if not willing to lend a hand to raise the child, at the very least she should not add such burden to his mother.

Five hundred taels, even if someone doesn’t eat or spend a penny, it would take them over a year, and this person needs to be relatively well-paid like Suizi.

The fear is, after giving this five hundred taels, they will keep conning more money out of you endlessly after that.

"You are right, but if I don’t pay, I won’t be able to see my child."

Sister Wang had wanted to take her daughter back long before, but they had threatened her with the child in the past.

"We should analyze the mentality of that family. Now that the child’s father is gone, and thus the child’s source of child support is also gone, would the other members of the family be willing to pay to raise the child? I doubt it."

Let alone the fact that the father of the child died in such a disgraceful way, which brought enormous troubles upon other family members.

Even in Yu Jingting’s family, where the father-in-law died "naturally," didn’t the relatives become indifferent as soon as the father was gone?

Not everyone has a conscience.

"If you can be resolute, pretend you don’t care about the child, make it known to your mother-in-law that you have a new partner now, plan to remarry, and do not want the child anymore."

"I want her! She is my daughter; I must take care of her. No matter how difficult it is, I must raise her!"

Suizi was taken aback by her urgent tone.

A very long time ago, her mother had said similar words to her uncle when they thought Suizi was sleeping.

In fact, Suizi had heard everything.

Because she loved her mother so much, Suizi couldn’t accept her mother’s abandonment.

Something flashed across Suizi’s mind, making her gaze blank and she forgot to respond to Sister Wang’s question.

"The more you want something, the more you have to act that you don’t care." The man who was eavesdropping on the sisters’ conversation stood up and spoke.

It was perfect timing for Sister Wang’s visit; for Jingting, it was like a timely rain, solving his current mess.

"Make it appear to your mother-in-law’s family that you don’t care about the child so they will not dare to threaten you with the child in the future."

This idea was clearly thought of by Suizi, but when it came out of Yu Jingting’s mouth, it suddenly made Suizi feel enlightened.

Yu Jingting saw her pondering and felt that he was one step further from being punished by washing clothes on a washboard, so he went on:

"Their hold over you now is the child. Once you show you don’t care, they will be the ones worried. As long as you can keep your cool, it will be them who actively approach you, begging you to take in the child."

"But what if they take it out on my daughter after what I say? What if they sell my daughter?"

Suizi glanced at Yu Jingting, wasn’t it her scumbag father who had sold her cheaply to Yu Jingting?

"You openly show you don’t care, but secretly keep an eye on them. If they dare to sell the child, wouldn’t you have the upper hand then?"

Sister Wang had an epiphany and realized that there could be such a solution.

"But if my daughter finds out, will she hate me?"

"Since when do mothers and daughters bear grudges? If you explain it properly, the child will understand your difficulties, right, wife?"

Suizi somehow felt that his words were meant for her, so she narrowed her eyes.

Sister Wang left in a hurry, having received Suizi’s advice. Her arrival, as if, was solely to save Yu Jingting’s shaky status in the family.

Suizi sat in the chair, replaying the words Yu Jingting just said to Sister Wang in her mind repeatedly, trying to find a breakthrough.

She sensed that the truth was just within reach.

Yu Jingting took off her coat and pretended to research how to wash it, but actually, he was sneakily observing Suizi out of the corner of his eye.

"Do you know something?" Suizi asked straightforwardly.

"It depends on whether you will let me sleep in bed."

Suizi slammed her hand on the table.

"You, a sinner, dare to bargain? Giving you a chance to redeem yourself, admit your wrongdoings seriously, refusal means double punishment!"

"Seems like I’m afraid of you." Though he said so, he honestly moved his foot towards the door.

"If you run before explaining, don’t bother coming back ever." Suizi saw the coat in his hand and pouted. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Contacting her behind my back by sneaking around, eating hotpot in secret, ruining my favorite clothes, even daring to intimidate me..."

A woman’s best skill in arguing is grudge-recalling. Suizi made up her mind that if he didn’t confess the truth to her today, she would bring up all the old scores since they got married.

If he was still reluctant to confess, she would even bring up the days when he bullied her!

"Fine, I bow to you!"
