My Life with Narration-Chapter 311 - 308: The Showdown Between the Uncle and Su’s Dad
See, this is the power of a proper establishment. Even though Su Qing is a kept man at the moment, others still make excuses for him because he works at the police station.
Look, doesn’t a cop paired with a female company owner match quite well?
At least that’s what Wen Jingqi thinks.
Although he has the ability to check Su Qing’s background, considering his sister and Shen Yi’s relationship, the Wen Family actually doesn’t know Su Qing’s specific job or identity.
If he investigates and gets caught, how awkward would that be?
So Wen Jingqi praised him as young and promising, and moved on from that topic.
"Papa Su, Papa Su, Big Yellow... is ignoring me!" The little girl’s face was streaked with tears as she sat on the living room’s cushion, reaching out her chubby hands in a sob.
"It’s okay, uncle’s here!"
"Uncle, go away!"
Wen Jingqi: ...
"No worries, I’ll talk to him, Big Yellow, can you have some patience? Little Yun even gave you her cake, why don’t you play with her? Where’s your conscience? Your sense of right and wrong? You even trick a child’s cake, get up now!" Su Qing spoke to Big Yellow in front of the little girl, while nudging the dog with his foot to make him get up quickly.
Upon hearing this, Big Yellow opened his eyes and whimpered, "Woo~ Woof!" [Why don’t you just kill me, please don’t angrily say that to me, just look at her, she’s even more energetic than I am, maybe I should join the police force instead!]
Su Qing: ...
"Stop fussing, staying at home is great, get up now, or..." He then leaned down and whispered in Big Yellow’s ear, "You won’t see black stockings for the rest of your life!"
Big Yellow: "Woof woof!" [You jerk—you’re as ridiculous as a celestial fairy skipping rope, I really have nothing against you, it’s like I’m caught between King Yama and a dog, you’re really a dog, fine, I’ll take it as doing a good deed, sigh~~~]
With that, Big Yellow got up, came to the little girl, stretched out his paw, showed the iconic golden retriever smile, and patted the little girl’s head.
The meaning was roughly, stop crying, I’ll play with you.
Seeing this, Wen Yun naturally broke into a smile, holding onto Big Yellow’s neck and refusing to let go.
Such actions left the other three dumbfounded, even Wen Jingqi understood why his sister is so at ease letting her daughter play with the dog, how human-like!
But only Su Qing knew how filthy the dog cursed just now, it was quite the rant.
"Thank you, Papa Su!" the little girl turned her head and called out crisply, Su Qing nodded with a smile.
At this, Wen Jingqi’s anger flared up, bearing his teeth, looking like he wanted to eat someone as he glared at him.
Yet, Big Yellow clearly noticed, barking once, "Woof?" [This person seems more like a dog than you, look, he’s baring his teeth, he won’t bite, will he? Be careful.]
With that said, he nudged the little girl’s head to move a little farther from here.
Wen Jingqi pondered for a while, feeling he had lost completely, why did he feel defeated?
Clearly, the other’s family background, wealth, and job offer no contest!
"Little Su, I never got a chance to thank you for my sister’s matter. Here you are quietly handling such a big thing, don’t be humble, though the actions were ours, the plan was yours, how did you know Xu Feng’s company had issues, became an empty shell? Even my sister’s affair, how did you know? Do tell?" Wen Jingqi finally voiced his curiosity. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
The state of Xu Feng’s company he knew only through investigation, not to mention the company’s confidential tax issues, such matters can’t be managed without some skill.
"Lucky hit?" Su Qing smiled.
Through narration, he naturally knew Wen Jingqi’s intention, seemingly probing his thoughts for his sister, actually testing his essence, assessing if this young man has any deep schemes or potential intentions toward his sister.
For their family, Wen Nanqing, the youngest, is bound to find another partner after divorce, they don’t mind if someone pursues her, wealth isn’t essential, nor is family background, but it can’t be for ulterior motives.
Now Su Qing and Shen Yi both admitted they’re dating, he just needs to ascertain if this guy has no harmful intentions.
Though Su Qing has helped twice, precaution is still warranted, most importantly, Su Qing himself is secretive, not only advising but also well-informed, how could the family be at ease?
Hearing this, Wen Jingqi chuckled and shook his head: "Once is coincidence, twice is certainty, plus your speculation is a bit too precise, it feels like you knew in advance how Xu Feng and Lu Yang would react, striking their lifeline without leaving a chance to resist."
During the incident when Wen Nanqing’s ex-husband returned, he participated fully, but Su Qing’s involvement was limited, merely disrupting Lu Yang’s plan on the spot, the rest was plotted by the family’s elder and Wen Jingqi.
But this time was different, the plan was clearly driven by Su Qing, though he exerted great effort, he came in passively, he had excuses, the company counts as his sister’s, but Wang Zheng was definitely because of Su Qing, that’s certain.
Involved throughout, Wen Jingqi saw clearly that this counterattack was indeed propelled by this young man before him, despite him having hardly any direct involvement.
"Hey, it’s nothing, for such big players like you running companies, how many of them withstand investigation, just like some leaders nowadays, everyone sees through it but doesn’t break it, whether it works isn’t my plan, but whether you have the capability to investigate, otherwise even knowing is useless?" Su Qing suddenly turned serious.
The abrupt change in expression startled Wen Jingqi, but the next moment, he felt an overwhelming pressure.
The young man’s gaze was steady, seemingly able to see through the heart, making him swallow back his intended rebuttal, and after a while, he laughed: "That’s indeed logical, so what’s your next plan, Little Su?"
Su Qing shook his head: "What does it have to do with me, I’ve done what I can, the rest depends on how far you want to take it.
Also, I’m friends with Wen Nanqing, visiting between friends I find quite normal, helping out when a friend has trouble, I find nothing wrong with it, don’t you think?"
These words were telling Wen Jingqi that he and the landlady were merely friends, no intentions, nor ulterior motives, not seeking anything through her, stop guessing.
Wen Jingqi naturally understood the meaning behind his words, his pupils slightly trembled, feeling truly shocked.
He was certain his own thoughts were never shared, the most who know about this would be the old man, but chatting for a few moments, his thoughts were guessed by the other and subtly pointed out.
At this moment, he realized how correct Wang Zheng’s words were, this child before him is indeed remarkable, the pressure isn’t something ordinary people can inflict.
"Brother, what are you two chatting about? Little Su is a cop, interacting daily with corpses and criminals, how can you chat with him? Come, dumplings are ready, eat hastily, finish then be off to do your stuff." Right then, Wen Nanqing and Shen Yi came out of the kitchen, each carrying a dish of dumplings, and called.
The dumplings were frozen, impatience was real, clearly, Wen Jingqi’s status wasn’t high with Wen Nanqing here.
"Hey sis, I rarely visit, why are you chasing me away?"
"What use are you? When you come, I still have to cook, you won’t even lend a hand, what can you do?"
"I can help you take care of Xiao Yun?"
"Xiao Yun needs your care? She has Big Yellow, even if Su isn’t working today, he’s much more capable than you!"
Wen Jingqi heard this, glanced at Su Qing in disbelief, saying: "I’m the uncle!"
"Brother Wen, hurry up and eat!" Shen Yi, unable to bear, quickly urged.
"Exactly, what are you competing with him for, he’s Papa Su, you came empty-handed, what’s that good for?"
Well, one sentence left Wen Jingqi speechless, he glanced at Su Qing momentarily, then spoke solemnly: "Little Su, you... are very good!"
[Little sneak, you better not have any ideas about my sister, or I’ll turn from uncle to brother-in-law, I’ll crush you!]
Su Qing: "... I also think I’m quite decent, hehe!"
Wen Jingqi: ...
