Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1094 - Chapter 1094 Chapter 1093 Decision

Chapter 1094: Chapter 1093: Decision Chapter 1094: Chapter 1093: Decision Leng Ran, who had been on edge the whole time, felt a sudden relief at the bottom of her heart when Huo Beijiang took the initiative to start a conversation. She couldn’t help but reveal a curious look, staring at Huo Beijiang.

She had always known that Jiang Nanfei’s fiance was Huo Beijiang, but she had never imagined that the Huo Beijiang from Qi Li Town was actually the Third Master Huo from Imperial City.

He was also Aunt Leng Peixi’s biological son.

Leng Ran was still vividly reminded of Leng Peixi’s disheveled return from Qi Li Town. As she looked closely at Huo Beijiang, the more she watched, the more her sense of dread grew. This man, who remained composed, posed a greater danger to her than her aunt.

Leng Ran couldn’t believe that if Huo Beijiang discovered her use of Jiang Nanfei’s situation, the consequences would be extremely serious.

Her inner balance wavered back and forth. Formerly, due to her conscience, she didn’t want to be a heartless, baseline-less madwoman. But now, the situation had become so tense that she no longer had the luxury of hesitation.

On one side was Aunt Leng Peixi, and on the other was Huo Beijiang.

She was just a pawn caught in the middle. What made her even more sorrowful was that it wasn’t just her.

Nan Fei was also a pawn.

Huo Beijiang let Leng Ran size him up, lounging comfortably on the armchair, exchanging glances with Yu Fengji and Ying Jiuming sitting opposite him. The tacit understanding among the three men was such that they could read each other’s thoughts with a single glance.

Even the thick-skinned He Shasha felt that the atmosphere in the living room was somewhat strange. She coughed uncomfortably, “Ahem! Leng Ran, this is Nan Fei’s fiancee, Huo Beijiang. You must have heard of her.”

“Hello!” Leng Ran stood up and greeted politely, “I’ve heard Nan Fei mention you before.”

“Leng Ran is here to see Nan Fei. Where is she? Why hasn’t she come down yet?” He Shasha really didn’t want to stay any longer, feeling oppressive under the stare of three domineering men.

Especially since two of them were police officers who specialized in matching wits with criminals. This made her, a little tomboy accustomed to fighting, feel somewhat uneasy.

“Forget it! Forget it! Let’s go upstairs and find her.” He Shasha didn’t wait for Huo Beijiang to speak, pulling Leng Ran with her and running upstairs.

It was only after the two women disappeared from view that Ying Jiuming asked, “What’s wrong? Something off?” Ying Jiuming was acquainted with Leng Ran, having seen her once before on the playground at Qi Li Middle School.

“She’s from the Leng Family,” Yu Fengji’s eyes gleamed with an unusual light, known only to a few senior detectives and top ranks in the Imperial City Police Department, that the Leng Family was always under close watch.

“So?” Ying Jiuming was still unclear.

Yu Fengji didn’t bother to explain.

“You’re an idiot,” Huo Beijiang couldn’t stand it, pointing out and hitting the nail on the head, “She’s here for the watch that belongs to Jing Tong.”

“Ah?” Even Ying Jiuming, who was unclear on the situation, understood the gravity of the matter. “Doesn’t that mean my sister-in-law is in danger?”

“Don’t worry! She won’t be,” Huo Beijiang said, but his fingers began to tremble uncontrollably.

*******

In the upstairs room, Nan Fei was happy to see the suddenly appearing Leng Ran.

“Do you have time today?”

“I’m free every day, but I didn’t expect to be so lucky today, to find both you and Silly here.” Leng Ran still maintained a restrained and composed demeanor, but her eyes could not help but fall to the watch on the bedside table.

Then she looked back at the radiant Nan Fei, with an uncontrollable sympathy and pity showing on her face.
