Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1026 - Chapter 1026 Chapter 1025 Setback

Chapter 1026: Chapter 1025: Setback Chapter 1026: Chapter 1025: Setback Coupled with a clever and agile personality, her mind worked quickly as well.

Thus, no one had ever spoken ill of her before, nor had she faced the setbacks she encountered today.

Now, suddenly faced with one, her previous cleverness vanished completely. She was only focused on getting even, never considering what repercussions might follow once she offended someone, realizing only that losing face was a grave matter.

Huo Beijiang’s thin lips curled into a cold arc, and he couldn’t help but clap his hands.

“Good, very good… This is just great. Today I met someone daring, not bad, you’ve not disgraced your Zhou Family,” he said under the ashen face of Zhou Xiang’s cousin, then snorted coldly before adding, “You’re used to this, aren’t you?”

He still remembered this youngster’s name, having found it quite interesting at the time.

“Yes, Third Master.” At this point, Zhou Xiang was so angry he could kill, not understanding how Zhou Xiang, who was personally raised by his grandfather, could be so foolish. Since Huo Beijiang had been transferred back from the Southeast Military Region, elders within the Imperial City circle had specifically warned their families.

They repeatedly instructed to steer clear of The Great Devil, and if they couldn’t make friends, to avoid offending him at all costs.

The Great Devil held a higher status by birth, and if a conflict arose, regardless of who was right or wrong, misfortune was sure to follow. Moreover, today’s incident was Zhou Xiang’s fault for instigating trouble, which resulted in him being embarrassingly countered.

In such a situation, he stubbornly clung to his pride. Now, it wasn’t just he who would suffer; the entire Zhou Family was likely to face misfortune.

“Heh…” Huo Beijiang’s gaze carried a hint of sinister intent, instilling a sense of danger in anyone he looked upon.

“Take him away! Go back and tell your grandfather that I’ll remember today’s incident.”

At that moment, Zhou Xiang shuddered, no longer apologizing to Huo Beijiang. Instead, he walked up to Nan Fei and Fu Xinwu to apologize before dragging the disheveled Zhou Xiang away.

Fu Xinwu’s eyes sparkled, his face full of admiration as he whispered to Nan Fei, “Wow! My uncle is so manly! With him being so awesome, how can other men even compete?”

After saying this, he saw Lei Hao approaching with a dark expression and muttered unhappily, “My uncle’s enemy is here.”

Don’t think she didn’t know; even though her uncle and Lei Hao had graduated years ago, their rivalry was still a legend in the military academy!

Lei Hao twitched the corner of his mouth, pretending not to see Huo Beijiang’s niece. Instead, his intense gaze fell on Nan Fei, feeling the girl looked somewhat familiar.

He was a man who typically showed little interest in women, paying attention to female soldiers only if there was a collaboration; otherwise, he wouldn’t bother to glance at them.

So, finding her familiar was strange.

Lei Hao couldn’t help but take another look.

However, the vigilant husband-to-be was not pleased and shot Lei Hao a cold look, threatening mercilessly, “Lei Hao, if you dare to steal another glance, believe me, I will gouge out your eyes?”

Nan Fei finally realized who this man was, the team leader of the Owl Dragon Team, Lei Hao.

Oh my! What was he doing here? Should she salute him? She had requested leave for an urgent matter, but now she was caught dining in a restaurant. Could this lead to some minor problems?

“Why so petty?” Lei Hao said nonchalantly, “Beijiang, won’t you introduce us?”

“What’s there to introduce? Who do you think you are?” Huo Beijiang walked over, possessively wrapping his arms around his wife’s slender waist, and said apologetically, “Wife, I’m sorry you had to go through this.”
