Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1038 - Chapter 1038 Chapter 1037 Refusing to Back Down

Chapter 1038: Chapter 1037: Refusing to Back Down Chapter 1038: Chapter 1037: Refusing to Back Down “Jing Tong, we can’t just let this go, you are my wife. She is Xin Wu’s mother, and as long as she acknowledges me as her father, she must respect you,” Fu Yiming said to Jing Tong, showing a trace of sympathy.

But when he turned to look at Fu Xinwu, his expression immediately turned to sternness and reproach.

“Apologize right now,” he urged impatiently.

Fu Xinwu was no pushover. He had intended to give his father some respect and talk to him alone, to share his own views. But unexpectedly, he was challenged the moment he entered the room.

This Jing Tong was indeed very crafty.

Did she think her little tricks and acting weak could defeat him? That was pure wishful thinking.

“I think you’ve been blinded by a woman,” Fu Xinwu bluntly pointed at his own father and scolded, “You want me to apologize to her for a woman’s sake? Does she deserve it? Does she deserve an apology from me, Fu Xinwu?”

Fu Yiming’s face turned an iron blue with anger, “I think I’ve spoiled you since you were a child; you actually dare to talk to me like this?”

Jing Tong was already aggravating the situation, fanning the flames while Fu Yiming was already fuming.

“Forget it, Yi Ming. Xin Wu is still young; she can learn slowly. She’ll be obedient in the future and will surely be filial to you,” Jing Tong said. Quarrel all you want! It’d be best if you severed the father-daughter relationship.

“Enough, don’t try to talk me down now. This girl has gone too far; today, she must apologize to you.”

Fu Yiming was already humiliated by his daughter pointing at him and scolding, and now the woman was trying to persuade him to continue bearing it.

Impossible!

Jing Tong lowered her head in feigned weakness, a glimmer of triumph flashing in her eyes. When she felt someone looking at her, she raised her head to meet Nan Fei’s mocking gaze. A sense of foreboding made her watch Nan Fei guardedly.

Resentment surged in her heart.

Once she got Fu Yiming and Fu Xinwu to turn against each other and stabilized her position securely, it would be Jiang Nanfei’s turn to die.

This time, she would show no mercy.

“Expecting me to apologize? Not happening!” Fu Xinwu declared proudly, “You should go out and ask around, see who Fu Xinwu has ever apologized to.” After saying this, she stubbornly met Fu Yiming’s gaze, showing no sign of backing down.

“You unfilial daughter.”

Fu Yiming was so angry that he raised his hand to hit her, but Fu Xinwu refused to yield stubbornly, even refusing to move. As his palm was about to smack her face, Nan Fei swiftly pulled her aside, causing Fu Yiming’s slap to miss.

From the force he used, if not for the avoidance, Fu Xinwu’s cheek would have certainly swelled up.

“You… you dare to hit me?” Fu Xinwu was fuming with anger, “You’ve never laid a hand on me ever since I was young, and now you actually hit me?”

A trace of guilt flickered in Fu Yiming’s heart, but it quickly vanished under Jing Tong’s dependent gaze.

“I hit because I hit. What, I can’t hit you now? The older you get, the less sense you make. Apologize to me.”

“Hahaha…” Fu Xinwu laughed coldly, but her heart felt an unprecedented ache. She murmured in despair, “My mother once told me when she was alive that I’m her daughter and in this lifetime, I should never bow my head to anyone or suffer any injustice.”

Fu Yiming paused, his late wife coming to mind. He couldn’t quite articulate the mix of feelings in his heart.

“My mother said that in this life, I should do whatever I want, whether I become a profligate or a good-for-nothing, I can follow my heart’s desire. If I live repressed and unhappy, then what was the point of her working so hard?”
