Suri shook her head, confused, “I don’t understand, honey. Are there a few days every month for you too?”
Her serious look almost made Yigol laugh out loud, but he managed to hold it back, “What do you think?”
“I’m just waiting for you to tell me,” Suri replied.
“So it seems you have no idea what you did wrong. Fine, let’s see who can outlast the other today. We should not even have dinner.” Yigol said angrily.
“Let’s do it then. No dinner, not hungry anyway,” Suri stubbornly replied.
Yigol sighed, his hands starting to get restless: “Do you really not understand what you did wrong?”
Suri nodded seriously, “Right, I don’t understand. Either you say it or forget it.” Yigol continued his actions: “Really don’t understand?”
Suri’s stubbornness rose: “I don’t understand.”
Suri’s face turned red from Yigol’s teasing, but she refused to give in, determined to hold her ground with Yigol.
Left with no choice, Yigol increased the intensity of his questioning. Suri was already breathing unevenly, just short of surrendering but still not giving in.
“Suri Drew, do you really not understand why I’m unhappy?
Suri shook her head, unable to speak.
Yigol sighed helplessly in the end – he was the one who lost.
“Haven’t I told you that if something happens, you should tell your husband, and I’ll take care of it for you?”
“But you, when something happens, you deal with it by yourself. There were problems with the tenants in those buildings I own, but you never mentioned it to me. Do you not trust my ability to solve it? Don’t you think I’m capable of shielding you from trouble?”
“You’re going too far, Suri. You already have a husband, so you can stop being so independent and strong, okay? Your husband’s shoulders are there for you to lean on. Do you understand?”
Suri finally understood — so he was angry about that?
“Well, honey, excuse me for a moment. I do have a husband, but it’s just in name.”
Yigol’s unfinished sentence got stuck in his throat.
Apparently, his wife’s focus wasn’t on what he was saying, but rather the fact that they were a married couple only in name?
Yigol felt that his wife was hinting at something.
Afterward, Yigol fiercely said, “Fine, I’ll make us a real couple tonight.”
Suri gave him a provocative look, “Not tonight, my relative is still here. Are you really sure you want to… while my relative is still here?”
Yigol suddenly felt a sense of defeat.
No wonder she dared to provoke him so much today – she had nothing to fear.
He lost to her again.
Yigol thought about it and, unable to bear the frustration, said,
“It’s okay. You can let your hand practice for now, so when your relative leaves, you can get to work.” Yigol said meaningfully.
Suri looked at Yigol in surprise and quickly turned her gaze away: “I’m still hungry. No mood, my hand is weak.”
“This doesn’t require strength, huh? Sweetie, what do you mean by this? So you’re saying…” Yigol’s face lit up, his eyes filled with affection looking at Suri.
“Don’t be so creepy, just start cooking.” Suri pushed him and urged, “You were suddenly getting angry today for no reason, like going crazy. People who don’t know might think that men also have a few days every month.”
“Women have a few days every month but none of them are as twisted as you.” “You!” Yigol angrily grabbed Suri again, “I was almost led astray by you!”
“Now tell me, why didn’t you mention the issue with the property? What do you plan to do?”
“I don’t know anything about the property now. There are so many clients in one building, with all kinds of people inside. I’m not sure who the tenant company has hired as the administrator. How do you want to handle it?”
“It doesn’t matter if the issue is not resolved well, but if something happens to you, what am I supposed to do?”
“The previous tenant company’s behavior was like robbing money. Many tenants were already struggling and now they’re being messed with. Under impulsive circumstances, they might do something irrational.”
“Indeed, you are a kick-boxing master and have the ability to handle things.
But what if you couldn’t? What would you do?”
“Due to the previous tenant company, these tenants are hostile towards tenant companies. They might transfer their hostility towards you. What would you
do then?”
“You actually put yourself in such a dangerous situation. I don’t think you consider me as your husband.”
Yigol now understood that the previous tenant company had taken advantage of the prime location of those buildings. Because it was school district housing, many families who didn’t have the money to buy a house or weren’t in the school district had to rent in order for their children to have an easier time attending school.
The tenant company exploited their desperation and raised the rent and other miscellaneous fees drastically.
Although it was a lot, it was still within the tenants’ means. They thought they’d endure it until their children finished school and then move out as soon as possible.
When Yigol exposed the tenant company’s money-grabbing activities, tenants became unwilling to pay anymore.
In the tenants’ eyes, the one who was cheating them couldn’t be the tenant company, but Yigol, the owner of the properties.
Money doesn’t grow on trees, and those tenants knew how to count. For each tenant, several hundred is a lot to lose; several hundred tenants meant an astronomical amount of money.
People tend to bond during such times. They united to confront Yigol and get their money back, which was understandable.
The scary part was that among the tenants were impatient, hot-headed, and hard-to-appease people.
Imagine the chaos if things got out of hand.
Even though Suri knew about this issue, she didn’t tell Yigol but planned to resolve it by herself..
