Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1039 - Chapter 1039 Chapter 1038 Not Falling for the Trick

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1038: Not Falling for the Trick Chapter 1039: Chapter 1038: Not Falling for the Trick Fu Xinwu stretched out his hand and pointed at Jing Tong, his pale and slender fingertips almost touching Jing Tong’s nose. He accused her in anguish, “Fu Yiming, I’m asking you, you want me to apologize to her now. Then what was the point of my mother’s sacrifice? Did all the promises you made to her just go to the dogs?”

The last sentence was a retort using Fu Yiming’s own words against him.

Fu Yiming was taken aback, feeling a surge of guilt in his heart. He had only wanted to win his daughter’s blessing, how had it come to this?

“Xin Wu…”

He was about to make amends with his daughter when Jing Tong stepped forward, and her cheek collided with Fu Xinwu’s finger, she cried out in pain and collapsed into Fu Yiming’s arms, weakly.

“Jing Tong, what’s wrong with you? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine!” Jing Tong, holding her cheek with one hand, her eyes red, shook her head pleadingly with tears streaming down, continuously admitting her faults.

“Xin Wu, I’m so sorry, please, stop arguing with your dad. He has had it hard enough, and he’s not had it easy. He’s said so many good things about you in front of me. I’m begging you, if you’re angry, take it out on me. Hit me, yell at me, I’ll take it. All I ask is that you don’t be angry with your dad, because it hurts me to see him upset.”

The word “hurts” was uttered with such deep emotion, it moved Fu Yiming immensely.

Fu Xinwu listened, both furious and anxious, and cursed directly, “Shameless tramp, take a look at yourself. You dare to think about entering the Fu Family’s door, what do you take this place for? A brothel?”

The cursing was utterly merciless.

The nanny, who had been pretending to be non-existent, wished she could clap and cheer. Jing Tong hadn’t been around long, but her behavior was hardly that of a decent woman. She just knew how to seduce men and would frequently start things in the living room without considering the occasion.

The old boss would never have allowed this.

This woman was too provocative.

“How… how can you speak to me like that?” Jing Tong cried heartbrokenly in Fu Yiming’s arms, still speaking in a wronged tone, “Just say whatever, as long as it makes you feel better. However you want to talk about me is fine. I definitely won’t say a word against you.”

“Fu Xinwu!” Fu Yiming shouted angrily, “You’ve gone too far. I don’t have a daughter as unreasonable as you. Get out, just get out.”

“Fine, I’m leaving! Who needs this.” Fu Xinwu turned to leave.

Jing Tong, lying in Fu Yiming’s arms, curled the corner of her mouth up in a victorious smile. Hahaha… finally, she was leaving. As long as Fu Xinwu walked out that door today, she could ensure she would never be able to return.

“Wait!” Nan Fei grabbed Xin Wu, whispering, “Don’t be impulsive, or you’ll fall into their trap.”

Fu Xinwu, gasping for breath with anger, stopped in her tracks.

She understood deep down that Jing Tong was intentionally trying to drive a wedge between her and her father. But even with clarity, seeing her father, who dearly loved her since she was a child, now chastising her for a woman of dubious origin, she could not swallow her pride.

Especially since she never wanted to move back in the first place; today was merely to save her father’s face.

And it turned out to be a banquet trap waiting for her.

“Mr. Fu, you need to calm down as well. Xin Wu is your only daughter. She respects and loves you. She was telling me the whole way here about how much you adored her as a child. She also said that she used to be a brat, and later, for your sake, she quit her old reckless and playful ways.”
