Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1024 - Chapter 1024 Chapter 1023 Unfamiliar

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1023: Unfamiliar Chapter 1024: Chapter 1023: Unfamiliar Lu Jin revealed an expression as if he had known this would happen and immediately said, “It’s because Sister-in-law was bullied! She’s still downstairs right now! Just now, Fu Xinwu told Sister-in-law to get you to bring people over and smash the Royal Prince’s Mansion!”

Before Lu Jin could finish speaking, Lei Hao’s cousin, Lei Ming, couldn’t sit still anymore.

“Could there be some misunderstanding? If Sister-in-law visits, she must be the most honored guest…”

“Shut up!” Huo Beijiang’s murderous gaze swept over, successfully silencing the private room.

With a mournful face, Lei Ming wanted to defend himself, but he didn’t dare to speak a word. However, what Lu Jin had just said about demolishing the restaurant truly scared him. If Third Master Huo really demolished it, what face would the Royal Prince’s Mansion have to continue operating?

“Cousin!” Lei Ming clung to Lei Hao, “This meal’s on me, say a few good words for me later.”

Lei Hao sneered, “Just for this meal?”

“Two meals!”

“Just two?”

“Three meals! That’s the most I can do, you know how stingy grandpa is, right? I may sound like the owner of the Royal Prince’s Mansion, but I never have enough money to spend each month…” Who else has such a miserly boss?

“Deal!”

The cousins finally reached an agreement, while on the other hand, Huo Beijiang had already risen from his seat and was leaving the private room.

Although he hadn’t been back in Imperial City for very long, Third Master Huo’s reputation was already well-known in the circles, and despite Huo Beijiang’s youth, the ones he associated with were all big shots. All from the military region-division commanders, corps commanders, and even higher-ups.

Thus, many people knew of Huo Beijiang, and attention shifted his way as soon as he left the private room. As he descended the stairs, the dining guests in the hall simply needed to look up to see him.

The man who had trounced the Twenty-ninth Division in the recent military exercises was now seen here, and all eyes turned towards him.

Some familiar faces wanted to come up and greet him, but noticing Third Master Huo’s dark and handsome face, they all backed off.

Nan Fei, who was just about to leave after losing her interest in staying with Fu Xinwu, suddenly noticed that many people were looking upstairs. Following their gazes, her eyes suddenly captured the figure of the man standing at the staircase entrance, his posture tall and straight, his features handsome.

His eyes were like cold abysses, carrying an aura of dominance.

The Huo Beijiang in front of her seemed different from the Bei Jiang she knew-though they shared the same appearance and aura, the eyes were completely different.

Nan Fei stared at him in a daze, momentarily unable to gather her wits.

Standing on the staircase, Huo Beijiang also noticed his little wife and raised his eyebrows, suddenly realizing he had been careless. Could having his true self exposed scare her away again?

Thinking back to their first meeting after growing up, the rejection and resistance in his little wife’s eyes, Huo Beijiang felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

He never wanted to see that look in her eyes ever again in his life.

He had gone to great lengths, layering himself in disguise after disguise, and it was with much difficulty that he had finally won his little wife over.

Seeing the unfamiliar look in his little wife’s eyes, Huo Beijiang suddenly found himself without the courage to walk any further. The rage and heartache that had filled him seemed to have been doused by a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguished.

His fingers resting on the stair railing even trembled slightly.

The two of them stood there, one above and one below, their gazes locked across the distance.

Those who had followed behind and come out with him also noticed that something was off.

Lu Jin looked perplexed as he glanced at his boss and then at the sister-in-law downstairs. He felt that the atmosphere seemed somewhat strange!
