Chapter 781: This Unintentional Mistake
When Father Chen returned from seeing off the guests, he seemed very restrained in front of Yu Jingting and his wife.
Yu Jingting went ahead with the original plan, berating the old man mercilessly.
From the conversation between Yu Jingting and Father Chen, Suizi could piece together Father Chen’s romantic history.
He first got involved in a false pregnancy scandal with a female lead in the Beijing Opera, and was later nearly drugged and taken advantage of by a nanny.
Suizi could hardly believe such an unsavoury past, it was unlike anything she had previously understood about him.
This man, who was seemingly devoid of moral integrity, had a study filled with famous paintings and calligraphy and a showcase displaying awards and trophies from his academic achievements, it was profoundly ironic.
Yu Jingting, troubled by Que Wuyu’s appearance, didn’t have much interest in jesting with the old man, something he usually enjoyed. He casually berated the old man for a moment, then led Suizi away.
As they left, Suizi saw both Father Chen and Mother Chen sigh with relief. It was clear that Yu Tiegen frequently irritated the old couple in normal times.
"Why do you harbour such a strong hostility towards them?" Suizi asked him on the way back.
"That old man originally called you a wild child, then a country bumpkin. He called you these names 38 times, and I have been keeping count. Compared to how much he belittled you, I’ve let him off lightly."
As for Old man Chen creating a scene during Chen Lijun’s wedding ceremony, that was something Yu Jingting merely dealt with in passing. His primary grievance was the old man looking down on his wife.
