Chapter 653: Must Go On Despite the Difficulties
Suizi caught a whiff of danger from Yu Jingting’s reactions. Her nostrils twitched slightly, carrying a scent of ripe fruit which was reminiscent of her mother.
While Suizi was still slowly turning it over in her mind, Yu Jingting reacted first. He set down the box he was holding, pulled her into his embrace, and caught the slap that Chen Lijun aimed for Suizi’s shoulder on his own back.
"How dare you, Chen Hansui, talk about me and your father behind our backs?"
Suizi shrank into Yu Jingting’s hold, who hugged her tighter, offering her his full protection.
"The child was being playful, and here you are taking it seriously?" Fan Huang’s voice came from behind, causing Suizi to shudder.
Is this some sort of summoning? She just managed to gather her parents.
"Dad, you’re supposed to be resting at home. Why did you come out?" Suizi peeked out, shrunk back in upon receiving a glare from Chen Lijun.
"Hmm, just wanted a walk outside. Can’t get any sun at home and been idle for so long that I’m afraid of growing sweet potato leaves on my head." Fan Huang said in a gentle voice.
Suizi felt like crying, knowing that the cunning old man was still holding a grudge. Oh, what a poor thing she was.
One moment of enjoyment from speaking out, and the next of getting burnt by the crematorium.
The in-laws took the kids out for a stroll and hadn’t returned home yet. Meanwhile, Suizi changed into her home clothes, apron included, and headed straight for Fan Huang’s house with some vegetables in her arms.
