Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1017 - Chapter 1017 Chapter 1016 Stepmother

Chapter 1017: Chapter 1016: Stepmother Chapter 1017: Chapter 1016: Stepmother “Wait!” Nan Fei abruptly grabbed Fu Xinwu’s arm, urgently interrupting, “What did you say that woman’s last name is?”

“Jing, Jing Tong!”

“Shit…” Nan Fei couldn’t help but let out a curse.

It was actually Jing Tong, she couldn’t believe she was still hopping around! But, did she have an addiction to being someone’s stepmother?

She had been a stepmother to He Shasha before, and now she was here to act as a stepmother for Fu Xinwu. Thinking about Jing Tong’s grand achievements in her previous life, Nan Fei still felt a sense of dread in her heart. Initially, she hadn’t taken it seriously, but now that it was Jing Tong, it was a different story.

This woman was capable of anything.

“What’s the matter?” Fu Xinwu looked at Nan Fei in surprise, “Do you know this person?”

“More than just know.” Nan Fei’s expression was very strange, causing the previously indifferent Fu Xinwu to frown. “Is there a problem? I heard that Jing Tong is my father’s first love. They were separated for many years, and now they’ve met again, so my father fell head over heels.”

After saying that, she sighed again, clearly not devoid of feelings for Fu Yiming. Fu Yiming had not married all these years, and had been dedicated and diligent in his care for her as a daughter. But since Jing Tong had come into the picture, she felt her father had clearly changed.

In reality, she wasn’t opposed to her father remarrying; after all, life is long, and she couldn’t stop him from finding his own happiness. She had even previously urged her father to seek his happiness. But now that he had found it, she deeply rejected it.

It was all because Jing Tong’s first impression on her was very bad, and a woman’s intuition is quite accurate. From the first meeting, she felt that Jing Tong harbored ill intentions.

Indeed, her father had never forced her before, but now that Jing Tong was in the picture, it was as if he had become a completely different person.

Completely different from before.

Her father used to be very astute and decisive. But now he was so submissive to Jing Tong’s advice, which would be fine if they just lived their life. After all, she was an adult now and seldom returned.

When she did have time, she would go to the courtyard and avoid meeting them. But unexpectedly, Jing Tong was a person with insatiable greed, relentlessly urging her father to call her back, perhaps wanting her to play out a drama in front of her, pretending to be very kind?

Although Fu Xinwu still couldn’t fathom what exactly Jing Tong was pressuring her to come back for, she intuitively felt it wasn’t anything good, so she had been resisting the idea of returning.

But after refusing a few times, her father really did get angry. Not wanting to upset him further, she had decided to go back and have dinner tonight.

“Come on, let’s not stand at the door. Let’s go in and talk while we eat,” Nan Fei led the way.

Neither of them had eaten lunch, so they were hungry at this time. After entering the Imperial Palace Restaurant, they found that there were still quite a few customers inside. The hostess was a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam, who at first glance had the demeanor of a star from Hong Kong or Taiwan, and even her facial features and temperament seemed better.

Nan Fei couldn’t help but become more curious about the Imperial Palace Restaurant.

“Welcome,” the hostess greeted them as she saw the two coming in, with an elegant smile, “How many are you? Do you have a reservation?”

Nan Fei shook her head, “Sorry, there are just two of us. We decided to come spontaneously, so we haven’t made one.”

The hostess’s fine, willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes, seemingly puzzled as to how someone would know to come without a reservation.

They were either country bumpkins who had just come from out of town or local nouveaux riches; otherwise, they would certainly know the rules of the Imperial Palace Restaurant.
