Chapter 461: You’re Worrying Me to Death
"Actually, I didn’t know that from the beginning."
Suizi, of course, couldn’t have possibly known beforehand. She derived it step by step based on the situation.
Yu Jingting was often drunk during the day, likely gathering those underlings of Ma Guocai before his imprisonment. He could only meet with Ma Guocai’s wife with a crowd, and give her money in private.
This assumption stems from Suizi’s understanding and trust in Jingting.
With Ma Guocai behind bars, if Yu Jingting were to meet his wife alone, it could breed suspicion. Plus, Jingting wouldn’t fully trust Ma Guocai’s wife either.
In such circumstances, the best approach is to find a bunch of witnesses. This is also an unwritten rule in the circle.
Jingting, having grown up as a street kid, is adept at navigating complicated social rules, even after moving from a rural area to the city.
He probably doesn’t discuss this stuff at home because he’s tired of Wang Cuihua’s nagging. He probably didn’t think it was a big deal, and that he could handle things himself.
But the fact he ’confessed’ to Suizi when he came home at night indicates a change in circumstances - something must have happened unexpectedly, prompting this decision.
The unexpected situation could only be that Ma Guocai’s wife became interested in him.
Once Suizi had sorted through these issues, her initial frustration vanished. Seeing Jingting’s confused face made her find him quite adorable, and she playfully squished his handsome face.
