His voice was so gentle, it seemed as if he had just asked an inconsequential question.
Suizi’s intuition spelled trouble, and she was now on high alert.
"Just a woman, when you’re the Boss, what kind of woman can’t you play with? Even celebrities are at your beck and call, and I can get you a Miss Hong Kong later, which one wouldn’t serve you better than this green little girl?"
Yu Youchan said, talking to himself.
"Trade a woman for a lifetime of glory and wealth, how many people want it yet can’t have it?
At your current age, to achieve this on your own, you’d need at least twenty years, and that’s assuming you have both luck and strength!
Trading a woman for twenty years of struggle, it’s a good deal any way you look at it, isn’t it?"
After Yu Youchan finished speaking, Suizi and Yu Jingting both took action at the same time.
Yu Jingting swung a fist, while Suizi wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, but she was still a step too late.
Yu Jingting’s fist hammered down hard on Yu Youchan’s eye socket, sending him staggering two steps back, nearly falling to the ground.
This was thanks to Suizi holding him back; otherwise, Jingting could have sent the old man flying.
It showed just how much force he put into the punch.
"Quit spouting bullcrap! Don’t fucking say you share the same surname as me when you go out there, trading your own woman for resources, you’re worse than a pig or dog! Chen Hansui, let go of me!"
Right now, he wanted to pound this old man until a pear tree blossomed!
Just knock him all the way to the Western Paradise to confess to Buddha!
Suizi dared not let go, holding on even tighter.
"He’s too old, one more punch and there’ll be trouble, it’s not worth it for him!"
They were on the mainland, and that side hadn’t been handed back yet; causing trouble would definitely be a big hassle, and Suizi absolutely couldn’t let him stir up a storm right under her watch.
"Let go!"
If Yu Jingting wasn’t worried about hurting his wife, he would have tossed her aside by now and beaten up that old bastard who coveted his wife.
That being the case, he didn’t forget to glare viciously at Yu Youchan, tearing the old scoundrel apart with his gaze.
Suizi raised her voice, "Get out now! Although I don’t know why you deliberately provoked him, if you don’t leave now I won’t be able to hold him back, get out if you don’t want to die!"
At her words, Yu Youchan didn’t get angry but instead laughed. The smile tugged at the pain on his face, and, covering his eye, he said:
"Not bad, you’ve passed the first test, you indeed have the pride of our old Yu family, I wasn’t wrong about you. If you had agreed, I would have looked down on you, and you too, little girl, how did you realize I was deliberately provoking him?"
Yu Youchan asked Hansui.
"I always thought you were just a pretty vase."
"Damn it, you’re the vase! Your whole family is a vase, no, you’re not a vase, you’re a defective piss-pot with a couplet in clerical script written on it, with ’never dies’ on the first line, ’shamelessly stinky’ on the second, and ’disrespectful with age’ as the horizontal scroll!"
Yu Jingting unleashed a torrent of insults.
Hansui didn’t let go, so he kicked out instead, striking the table in front of Yu Youchan, nearly tipping it over.
"Hurry up and go!" Hansui felt Jingting was beyond persuasion and could only shout at Yu Youchan.
Yu Youchan, seemingly with a masochistic trait, seemed to appreciate Jingting more the angrier he got.
He didn’t take Hansui’s advice to heart, and even crossed his arms looking Hansui up and down.
"You, girl, have some sense of propriety. Although it’s a bit of a stretch to be part of the Yu family, you’d still make a decent second wife."
"Second, second sister-in-law?" Suizi was puzzled.
"Oh, he will inherit my position in the future, so he’s definitely going to marry Zhaodi. You won’t be the big wife anymore, but considering your decent behavior, you can still be a concubine."
"Concubine... a little wife?" Suizi gasped. So, she had been downgraded?
Just after a few casual words, the legitimate wife became a "concubine"?!
Shocked, Suizi realized Yu Jingting had already started gritting his back teeth, while Yu Youchan obliviously continued speaking.
"Although Zhaodi is very capable, a woman is still a woman, no match for a man, so we must find a capable man. Yu Jingting is the most suitable candidate— but rest assured, Zhaodi is generous and doesn’t like men. As long as she bears Jingting a son, she won’t mind if Jingting resumes staying with you afterward."
"....???" Suizi’s brain was still crashing.
"Let’s settle it like this; you two come back with me, and let this girl serve Zhaodi tea to show respect to the concubine. From now on, we’ll all be one family, and we can live happily together."
Having made the arrangements, Yu Youchan couldn’t resist adding smugly, "You should feel lucky that I’m an easy person to talk to."
"You decide on your own to demote me from the primary wife to a consort, and you want me to thank you?" Suizi laughed out of anger.
"Of course! Although polygamy was abolished more than ten years ago, at our level, which one of us doesn’t have three or four wives? Making you a concubine is already giving you a lot of face."
Yu Youchan stood with hands on his hips, speaking to Suizi in an elder’s tone, "From now on, you will take good care of Jingting and listen to Zhaodi. As long as you stay in your place, the Tianlong Society will also provide for you."
Then he muttered to himself.
"Originally, I wanted to send you to the Governor’s nephew; he likes your type the most. But since Jingting likes you, and you’ve acted reasonably, we won’t make you serve in his bed."
"..." Suizi’s world view, no, her entire face, was shattered.
So this old man had planned it all from the moment he entered.
To make her a high-class social butterfly accompanying others, dragging her husband to become the boss of an underworld society!
"Jingting, don’t beat him to death," Suizi said quietly as she let go of her grip.
Some people really had it coming.
Once Yu Jingting was free, he dashed forward and kicked the old man flying.
He snatched the dragon head cane from the old man’s hand and, taking a swift stride over, started to beat him.
Suizi directed from the side.
"Control your strength! Avoid vital spots! The elderly don’t recover easily from fractures; just land him in the hospital for half a month, don’t kill him, okay!"
Yu Youchan was powerless against Yu Jingting’s beating, barely managing to stand and exchange a few blows, no match for the youthful vigor of Jingting!
"Damn! I respected you as my grandfather’s brother, held back when I spoke and used my hands. You’re not speaking human language! Speaking animal language to me, are you?"
Yu Jingting grabbed the old man’s throat, eyes full of ferocity: "To deal with beasts, you can’t communicate like humans!"
Yu Youchan was almost choking.
Worried Yu Jingting might accidentally kill him, Suizi hurried over to intervene.
Only then did Yu Jingting let go, spitting on the ground in disdain.
"Get lost, quick!"
"You, you scoundrel!" Yu Youchan coughed several times, feeling as if he had just taken a walk in front of the Ghost Gate.
He glared at Yu Jingting with frustration and rage.
"Do you know what you’re giving up?"
