Chapter 960: Chapter 960 Answers Are All Told to You

Suizi turned around to see Chen Tong frowning while eating a chicken tail, his eyes wide with discomfort. Oh...

This kid never used to eat this stuff before.

"It’s not good for kids to be picky eaters," Yu Jingting put on the air of a righteous and noble father.

Although Suizi didn’t think there was any nutritional value in that thing, she was quite impressed with his way of controlling Chen Tong and even had a momentary delusion—could it be that these two got along well?

Chen Tong quickly drank water, trying to get rid of the greasy sensation.

"How could you eat the fat gland inside too, it really ruins the taste—huh, you don’t know about it, do you? It’s clear you lack experience. I declare, from now on, you’ll be in charge of all the chicken tails in my house. Whenever you come over, all the tails of the chickens, ducks, and geese will belong to you alone!"

"Ugh..." Chen Tong covered his mouth, struggling to suppress the nauseating feeling.

It was psychological revulsion, going beyond his physical reaction to the food itself.

"Still need to train you, too young~"

Yu Jingting patted him with profound implications, you little rascal, the future’s still long, and the days of you getting disciplined are yet to come.

"You haven’t said yet..." Chen Tong asked through gritted teeth, enduring Yu Jingting’s torment solely for the sake of the answer in his heart.

"Take my advice, whether you’re a man or a woman, you need to think big. Don’t focus all your attention on the trivial matters of love and romance. Look at me and Suizi—do we look like we have nothing in our eyes but dating each other, like those with love-struck brains?"

Yu Jingting’s words weren’t whispered, not only were the kids at his table listening, but several elders at the next table heard them too.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Fan Huang, quick to react, hurriedly served his wife some juice while muttering, "Must be disgusted again, aren’t we?

Wang Cuihua also blamed her son, "You’re like a crow perched on a pig, unaware of your own darkness. The two of you are always stuck to each other every day, how can you say such a thing?"

But Suizi felt that what Yu Jingting said made a lot of sense and explained earnestly:

"Jingting and I just happen to have a good relationship, but it’s not like we’re neglecting our responsibilities because of love all day long."

"That’s right, maybe I spend a bit too much time being sticky with my wife—okay, more than a bit," Yu Jingting conceded amidst the disdainful looks of everyone.

"But has my career suffered? Has my wife’s studies been delayed? When we say love-struck brain, we’re talking about being obsessed with lust, making a drama out of life or death over it. Are we like that?"

Despite his thick skin, everyone had to admit that Yu Jingting’s talent for making money was unrivaled among the younger generation, and his success brought a lot of face to the elders among their peers.

"..." Chen Tong felt choked by the massive load of dog food being shoved at him, almost forgetting all about the serious issue at hand.

"You still haven’t answered!" The hint he was given in exchange for eating that thing!

"A hint? I gave you one, don’t waste your precious life on sentiment alone, that’s your hint."

"So you’re saying only officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people aren’t allowed to light lamps?" Chen Tong retorted, unwilling to accept this.

If his unrequited love for Suizi was a waste of a precious life, what was the deal with Yu Jingting and Suizi?

"Me? You think you can compare to me? Mutual affection, doing meaningful things, raising such excellent kids—it’s all contributing to the nation. You’re wasting your life by investing energy in the wrong affection and losing yourself," Yu Jingting said, seemingly jokingly, but there was a hint of sincerity behind his words.

He genuinely didn’t understand why Chen Tong had such a love-struck brain.

He could have become a great scientist, focusing on contributing to improving the quality of human life, but instead, he fixated on his own mother, which was just absurd, wasn’t it?

"What’s this, the kid’s got someone he likes?" Suizi asked, voicing the thoughts of the elders.

Chen Lijun murmured softly, "Which girl’s had such bad luck?"

They all disliked Chen Tong, this child, too shadowy for their taste.

"You’re not yet of age to be dating. You need to focus on the right things," Suizi chose her words carefully.

She knew Chen Tong’s psychological age, but given the current situation, it was clear that he was too young to pursue a romantic interest—it would only disrupt the girl’s studies.

"Enough!" Chen Tong stood up, his face flushed with anger, and turned to leave.

Suizi was worried about Chen Tong, but Yu Jingting held her hand, stopping her from moving.

"Don’t mind him; you have to let him figure it out for himself."

The two hints he gave Chen Tong had fully explained why Suizi could never reciprocate his feelings, but at this moment, Chen Tong still wasn’t taking it in.

It would take some time. They just had to see when he would come to his senses.

Chen Tong ran out and didn’t return.

In the evening, Chen Tong’s mother called to say he had gone home and thanked the couple for looking after him these past few days.

After that, Chen Tong never appeared at the Yu Family’s place again.

The words of Yu Jingting seemed to have struck a nerve with him.

He thought Yu Jingting was deliberately making fun of him, treating him like a joke, even forgetting the bet they had made about working for two months; he felt Yu Jingting would never tell him the truth, and he didn’t want to speak to Yu Jingting anymore.

Suizi was still very worried about Chen Tong, but Yu Jingting said that the kid was more resilient than a cockroach. Anyone could contemplate suicide, just not him. He urged Suizi to leave him be for the moment, as he had taken it upon himself to handle the young man’s education.

Trusting Yu Jingting’s judgment, "Do not suspect those you employ, do not employ those you suspect," Suizi decided to stay out of it and trust in his ability to handle the difficult task.

Primarily because she had been genuinely busy lately and didn’t have the time to intervene.

Ma Dong had gone back to his grandmother’s place in Dongbei, and ten days later, his grandmother passed away.

Yu Jingting and Suizi went to help with the funeral arrangements. The Ma family members shamelessly fought over Ma Dong’s property; if not for the highly capable couple stepping in, the kid would have been stripped of everything and left destitute on the streets.

The house was rented out to a local friend of Yu Jingting, a ruffian well-known in the streets, ensuring no one dared to cause trouble. The reason for not selling was to preserve the memories of Ma Dong and his grandmother, leaving a memento for the child.

After finalizing the transfer and adoption paperwork, Suizi brought the child back with her.

Ma Dong was depressed for a long time after the loss of his relative; Suizi’s whole family looked after him. These things take time to heal, and they didn’t force him.

Suizi had previously prepared him psychologically. Although Ma Dong was in pain, it was not unbearable.

Just as they had gotten Ma Dong’s affairs in order, Little Fatty’s competition had begun.

He had been in closed training before the competition and hadn’t contacted anyone.

On the day of the competition, the Yu Family only managed to glimpse him from a distance as he took to the stage.

"Shouldn’t training be tough? How come the kid’s face seems even chubbier?" Wang Cuihua voiced everyone’s thoughts.

What everyone imagined Little Fatty would look like after training: wan and thin.

What everyone actually saw: a spirited young fella, a tad pale, and even a bit chubbier.

"That’s a true master for you, with a relaxed heart, not taking winning or losing to heart," Suizi said aloud, but inwardly she thought that the training center must really serve good food.

"Mom, can you come out for a sec?" Ma Dong, who had officially changed his name to Ma Zisheng, ran in looking very anxious.
