Chapter 675: Chapter 675: One Wedding Feast Isn’t Enough for Him to Show His Skills

Chen Lijun found it strange that, under normal circumstances, the old woman would have thrown a tantrum by now, especially as her son-in-law’s hand was resting on the back of her chair.

At a glance, it seemed like he had already won the favor as the most cherished grandson-in-law.

In ordinary households, it’s normal for a grandson to be slightly closer to his grandmother, even if he forgets his manners.

But everyone knew that Fan’s mother didn’t think highly of Chen Lijun and her daughter, let alone Yu Jingting who came from a rural village.

However, the current situation was quite bizarre, with Yu Jingting resting his hand on the old woman’s chair while Suizi served her food.

For an act that was supposed to be respectful, the old woman certainly didn’t look pleased; she seemed as if she was being held hostage, feeling angry but dare not voice it.

Suizi usually acted with restraint and knew her social boundaries well, so her sudden friendliness with Fan’s mother was indeed strange.

"Dear sister-in-law, you are really fortunate to have such a great granddaughter out of nowhere," the old woman sitting to the left of Fan’s mother started.

Her words carried a hint of provocation, making Fan’s mother glare at her. Her aggrieved eyes seemed to say -- do you want this fortune? This infuriating granddaughter is yours, let’s see if she will help you live a long life.

"Are you my third grandmother or fourth grandmother?" Suizi asked.

"I am Fan Zhenbang’s wife, but I definitely don’t have the good fortune of being your third grandmother. As for you and your mother, well, it’s true that meeting you is not as good as hearing about you. Today, we truly have our eyes opened."

Ah, it was the wife of the third son of the Fan family -- the sister-in-law of Fan’s mother. No wonder she was being so sarcastic. This person had previous grudges with her.

While Suizi was still sorting out the relationships, Yu Jingting, whose mind was always active, had already started his attack.

He slapped his forehead, pointing at Fan’s third grandmother.

"You are Fan Hua’s mother, aren’t you? Actually, he was my boss back then. Has he finally been laid to rest - has his ashes been returned yet?"

Like striking a snake’s weakest point, Yu Jingting had hit right at the pain in Fan’s third grandmother’s heart. His words stirred up painful memories, flooding her. She had originally taken joy in witnessing the drama in the main family but didn’t expect Yu Jingting would be so aggressive, hitting her where it hurt incredibly.

Fan Hua was once the director of the Tobacco Company and was Yu Jingting’s immediate superior when he first entered the workforce.

This man was cunning. He made several attempts to scheme against Suizi and even got himself involved in a murder case in an attempt to prolong his own life.

In the end, Suizi and her husband collectively sent him to prison. However, he died of late-stage cancer before his case could be investigated.

This incident was a disgrace to the entire family, and few dared to speak of it.

Therefore, out of everyone, Fan’s third grandmother hated Suizi and her husband the most. She’d been using sarcasm to provoke Fan’s mother, wanting her to make things difficult for the couple, only to be shut down by Yu Jingting’s words.

Suizi looked at Fan’s third grandmother with slight sympathy, why did the old woman provoke Yu Jingting?

After coming to the city, under Suizi’s influence, Jingting had been made to put on the disguise of an excellent student, blending into the crowd at Tsinghua University.

Those of the Fan family who didn’t know him well thought of him as a soft scholar, a defenseless intellectual. They had no idea that he had been the boss of the Wang family’s gang back in the day, and had considerable audaciousness and aggressiveness at his core.

"It’s clear that growing up in the countryside has made you disrespectful. Today is a day of celebration for your mother-in-law, yet you bring up such things. Aren’t you afraid of ruining the mood? It seems the rumors are true that you are reluctant to be the son-in-law who married into the family. You eat well and say bad things about your mother-in-law, creating discord behind her back?" Fan’s third grandmother didn’t bother to hide her anger anymore. She spouted a string of words without pause, ignoring the advice from those beside her, determined to embarrass Yu Jingting.

In her mind, although her son already had cancer, didn’t he die so quickly because of Suizi and her husband’s meddling?

"I think you’re mistaken, I am the one who married into the Yu family through a proper marriage, where do you get the idea that I’m the son-in-law who married into the wife’s family?" Suizi still spoke slowly and calmly, but her voice had a slight hint of murderousness. Yu Jingting gently squeezed her hand, signaling her not to be led by the nose.

"You’ve indeed learned all of your mother’s tricks." When Fan’s third grandmother couldn’t win against Suizi, she began to hint indirectly that Chen Lijun was incompetent.

"My mother is from a highly educated family, which is why she made sure that my wife studied at the best universities. I also learned a lot thanks to her — Hey, what did your ancestors do for a living that they raised such a son? What is your maiden name? I need to check the post-founding bandit list to see if it’s a result of strong genetics."

Yu Jingting turned the tables, making a complete shift in the dynamics. He spoke with a smile all the way, making people half dead with rage. When arguing, you don’t need reason, all you need is to step on the sensitive spots.

"Sister-in-law, aren’t you going to say something?" Fan’s third grandmother was repeatedly hit where it hurt by Suizi and her husband, unable to put up a fight, she had no choice but to ask for help from Fan’s mother.

"My dear, it seems that our grandmother might have had too much to drink and is a little dizzy. Why don’t you take her to rest? I’ll chat with these people and show them our family’s hospitality."

"I didn’t drink!" Fan’s mother’s face turned from red to white. She’d been tolerating for so long, and now it was the end. She hit the table hard with her hand. She was tired of this domineering couple. She decided to make a scene, to teach Chen Lijun and her vile offspring a lesson in front of everyone!

Suizi just whispered one word in her ear, and Fan’s mother’s face turned pale instantly. She slumped in her chair, looking at Suizi in horror, her old eyes filled with fear.

The word Suizi said was: dog.

Fan’s mother immediately thought of the dead dog that was delivered to their house the night before.

That was also why she dared not confront Suizi and her husband, for they had her weakness in their grasp.

"Let’s escort you downstairs," Suizi helped Fan’s mother up, and amidst the curious stares of those around, they casually walked away. Judging by their departure, you’d think they were a harmonious family.

At the table, only Yu Jingting was left as the sole representative of the women’s party. He crossed his legs, one hand resting on the back of the chair, with the other rhythmically tapping on the table.

It was just like when he was the village chief, perched on the wall mocking his neighbors. His identity might have changed and he couldn’t use dirty language anymore, but that didn’t damper his talent for infuriating people.

"Our grandmother is getting on in years so you know, old women and young children are alike. My father-in-law is willing to indulge her, and us younger ones have to as well. After all, behind closed doors we are all a family and shouldn’t harm the family’s harmony. But if anyone tries to goad our grandmother, us youngsters will have something to say."

"Impudence! Everyone here is an elder, is it your place to be so reckless?!" Fan’s third grandmother was angered by Yu Jingting’s arrogance. She slammed her hand on the table, raising her voice significantly.

The few nearby tables all quieted, with everyone turning to look in this direction.

"Oh no, Jingting isn’t going to start a fight, is he?" Chen Lijun was anxious and wanted to go over there.

There were not only members of the Fan family here but also many of Fan Huang’s colleagues and Fan Huang couldn’t afford to lose face.

But she felt a hand grip her arm - Fan Huang was holding her back.

"Have a little faith in Jingting, he is not a person who acts without consideration."

There must be a reasoned for the couple to choose this timing to initiate their move.

Chen Lijun was almost anxious to death, the situation was on the brink of spiralling out of control, and this old man wasn’t worried at all. If her son-in-law messed around, this wedding banquet alone wouldn’t be enough for him to show off!
