I am chasing a rough man in the 80s-Chapter 993: Only Spirited Youngsters Can Understand Psychopaths

Chapter 993: Chapter 993: Only Spirited Youngsters Can Understand Psychopaths

"Approaching me? For what purpose?" Suizi repeated Yu Jingting’s words. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"I just ran into him on the street, and he was with the man you drew."

There was a slight discrepancy between Suizi’s sketch and the actual person, but the main features were accurately captured, especially the clothes, which still evoked the image of the man.

"Ah?! Why would he want to hit me? I haven’t offended anyone."

Suizi was utterly puzzled.

Recently, her life had revolved around school and home, a simple back-and-forth with no notable social interactions.

In her circle of acquaintances, there was no connection whatsoever to Zhang Zheng, a well-known figure of the future—someone she would definitely remember if she had encountered him.

"Has our family recently offended anyone? Could it be related to Li Tieguang?"

The only one at odds with the Yu Family was Li Tieguang.

Li Tieguang had once tried to bribe Chen Tong to add poison to the feed at the breeding farm, but Chen Tong did not comply.

Seeing that the pigs didn’t die and knowing his plot was exposed, he had gone into hiding lately.

Yu Jingting had intended to undermine Li Tieguang’s business, but it never even came to him having to lift a finger.

In recent times, Li Tieguang had been so preoccupied with stirring up trouble that he neglected his business. His subordinates took advantage of the situation, absconded with the company’s cash, and fled.

It was said he was pursued by creditors to the point where he had nowhere to hide. His wife was causing a commotion, demanding a divorce, and even the house had to be sold. The mistress, to whom he was once more devoted than to gold, had also left him—it was like a tree falling and scattering the monkeys.

"Li Tieguang is so busy running away now, how could he still have the time to send people to mess with us?" Yu Jingting said.

These days, he was busy with company affairs and hadn’t found the time to kick a man when he was down, but looking at Li Tieguang, now in dire straits and having to sell his house, Yu Jingting felt the guy was such a loser that he couldn’t be bothered to make a move against him.

"Then it’s weird... Why would he pay someone to hit me? Could it be that because I ran away last time at the mall without thanking him, he’s holding a grudge against me?"

Suizi found her own logic faulty even as she voiced it—how could anyone be so petty?

"He has taken a fancy to you."

"Huh?!" Suizi froze, feeling as if he was talking about a fairy tale.

"That time at the mall, he was trying to get your attention, but you’re already spoiled by such an outstanding man like me, how could you fancy someone so reckless?"

Yu Jingting never missed a chance to belittle others while praising himself.

"He likes me, so he finds someone to beat me up?" What kind of bizarre logic was that?

"He didn’t really want to hit you. If those kids didn’t show up, he was planning to swoop in and play the hero."

Suizi couldn’t close her mouth, the world of psychopaths was beyond her comprehension!

"What’s with that expression? Don’t believe me?"

Suizi swallowed hard; she truly didn’t remember ever provoking Zhang Zheng, and Yu Jingting’s theory seemed far-fetched.

"Well, while I appreciate you acknowledging my charm as a woman, don’t you think it’s a bit over the top to be so full of oneself? Even if I’m not ugly, it’s not like someone would become enchanted with me after a few glances, right?"

"Let’s make a bet. I bet he’ll have someone block your way again within three days, and this time, there will definitely be more than one person," Yu Jingting proposed with a twinkle in his eye.

"A bet, huh? I refuse to believe that in this vast world, there could be so many psychopaths out to get me," Suizi heatedly contested.

"Then we’ll bet on it—one encounter in the bathroom, one on the floor, one in the garden, one on the rooftop, and one in the school’s little woods," he declared.

Suizi gasped, what in the world?

"It’s not too late to back out now," Yu Jingting dug a hole, "No worries, it’s not a mistake for a woman to be timid."

Suizi was annoyed by his smug expression.

Even if just to stand up for all womankind, she couldn’t back down now!

"What if within three days, he hasn’t sent anyone to block me? Then you, for a month—"

She had intended to say, no climbing into the kang bed.

But as the words reached her lips, she felt they weren’t right.

This was like harming the enemy by a thousand, but damaging oneself by eight hundred, she pondered. It wouldn’t suit her either... ahem.

Adhering to the principle of never letting herself suffer, Suizi switched her approach under Yu Jingting’s teasing gaze.

"For one month... you’ll have to queue up for a month to buy me delicious treats!"

"Deal." He agreed promptly, the curve of his lips indicating he saw through the little ruse of a woman, as he looked down and laughed at her, "Wife, how satisfied are you with me? You couldn’t bear to give it up for a month, could you?"

"Nonsense!" Suizi swung her fist to punch him.

"Sister-in-law, I’m coming in," Jiaojiao knocked on the door.

Suizi collected herself in a second, sitting up straight. In front of the children, she always maintained a certain image.

With a warning look at Yu Jingting not to talk nonsense, she cleared her throat softly.

"Why are you back? Didn’t you say you were staying at school to paint the bulletin board?"

"I shouldn’t have returned, but something happened. Sister-in-law, I met a weird person today."

"Hmm?" Suizi became serious. Could it be her little sister-in-law had encountered a bad person?

Jiaojiao described everything in detail.

Jiaojiao was supposed to return with Chen Tong and the others, but today she received a task from her teacher to help paint a bulletin board for the school’s announcement column.

Jiaojiao, not only skilled at playing the piano but also trained in art by Suizi, and with her beautiful chalk handwriting, was assigned by her teacher to create a bulletin board for the school gate’s blackboard.

Jiaojiao had requested permission from home a day earlier and stayed back at school over lunch to complete the task.

Suizi had specifically given her two yuan, enough for the young girl to have a nice lunch near the school, and the rest could be kept as her pocket money.

The announcement blackboard was located outside the school gates, and as Jiaojiao was writing, someone suddenly struck up a conversation with her.

"It was an older lady who came over and said she had seen me on TV. I just assumed she was a supporter of Little Fatty, so I answered her, not taking it too seriously."

Although Little Fatty had won the competition, it was Jiaojiao who got the attention, because Little Fatty had looked at her after the competition, and that moment was caught on the live broadcast.

The fair-faced young beauty, wearing the same checkerboard pattern as Little Fatty, was memorable at first glance, and some even inquired about which family’s maiden she was, remarking on how pretty she was.

"At first, she was talking about the competition, but then she started to drift off-topic. She asked who was sitting next to me, and I said it was my sister-in-law."

At this point, Jiaojiao had already become cautious.

She wasn’t an ignorant sweet girl; Suizi had been teaching her how to prevent scams and abductions since elementary school. Such overly familiar behavior was suspicious to Jiaojiao, so she remained vigilant.

"I wanted to see what she was up to, so I responded casually without much engagement."

Jiaojiao dared to do this because the gatekeeper’s room was just next door. If that woman had bad intentions, Jiaojiao could just shout, and the gatekeeper would come out.

The woman thought Jiaojiao, being a young girl, would be easy to deceive. Little did she know, Jiaojiao was full of tricks and, with a counter-intelligence strategy, managed to ensnare the woman.
