Yu Jingting was sitting on the sofa with a scowl on his face, legs crossed, hand slapping the armrest hard.
"Arbitrary! Autocratic! Overbearing!"
Fan Huang, who had come to mooch off their meal, was sitting at the other end of the sofa with a newspaper in his hands, pretending not to hear his son-in-law's complaints.
Only when Yu Jingting raised his voice did he lower his newspaper a bit to remind him:
"Buddy, you'll shout them in here if you keep yelling."
Buddy is a Beijing slang term indicating a close relationship, equivalent to "buddy" in Dongbei dialect.
Ever since Fan Huang handed over that little booklet, Yu Jingting had discovered that his father-in-law had a sneaky side too. Their relationship quickly warmed up and had reached the level of being buddies.
At this moment, Suizi was talking to Chen Lijun outside and seemed to hear the "wounded beast" roaring inside the house, so she glanced towards it.
