Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 232 - Chapter 232 Chapter 232 Introduction to Object_1

Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Introduction to Object_1 Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Introduction to Object_1 As the old saying goes, a smile can disarm anyone who’s ready to cast a stone. Now that he had apologised, it was hard to chastise him further.

“Hmm!”

“A lawyer like you should have better standards! How can you lack even basic manners?”

“You’re not as good as us illiterate farmers. All that studying was such a waste.”

Lawyer Chen pulled a face. He felt utterly hopeless. He had handled many tricky cases before, dealing with these ignorant and uncultured villagers was supposed to be the easiest task.

It should’ve been a simple matter of throwing around some money. But this time, he strangely found himself dealing with this difficult bunch.

Especially this old lady, it was as if she had grown cleverer with age.

“You tell us! How are we supposed to solve this problem?” Guan Rufang signaled her neighbors, the old men and women and the middle-aged women, to calm down and reason with civility. At the same time, she posed a question, demanding a satisfactory answer.

“May I consult with my client first? I need to discuss the matter with them.”

Guan Rufang didn’t understand. She pulled on Ying Jiuming’s sleeve and asked him in a whisper, “What does ‘client’ mean?”

“Granny, ‘client’ means his master,” Ying Jiuming pondered and then used the description that the old lady could understand. He couldn’t help but praise his own wit.

“His master is He Rongxi, Jing Tong’s husband, Huo Jinlan’s biological father.”

“Ah, so that’s what it means! The city folk sure love using words that we don’t understand,” Guan Rufang complained, as she sized up Ying Jiuming again. She realized that the young man was not only handsome with a straight posture but also had manners to match.

He was a good and reliable young man.

“Son, do you already have a partner?”

Ying Jiuming’s eyes brightened up, “Granny, I’m still single! Are you offering to introduce me to someone?”

Seeing his enthusiasm, Guan Rufang was a bit skeptical. “Are you really without a partner? With looks like yours, it’s impossible not to have one yet!”

Recalling those days, it was unbearable.

“Granny, I attended the police university. At school, I was so involved in fighting and wrestling that everyone seemed like a psychopathic killer. With very few girls in school to begin with…”

He was too embarrassed to continue. Of course, when it came to being out of sync, he and his best friend, Huo Beijiang, were in the same boat. Back in college, there wasn’t one girl who he had not fought with.

In boxing class, other boys would take it easy if their opponent was a girl.

But Huo Beijiang’s influence was so strong that he wouldn’t spare anyone, male or female, he would wrestle them all. Thus, he spent his entire four years of college without a partner. After graduation, he was assigned here.

When he wasn’t catching gamblers or thieves, there was no time to think about love.

Guan Rufang showed understanding, “I know, you and my grandson-in-law are both good men.”

Ying Jiuming thought to himself, Is there anyone who could compare to him?

“How about I introduce you to someone?” Ever since he had brought Jiang Yang back from the brink the day before, Guan Rufang had taken a special interest in him. When she looked at him today, she was even more pleased.

“My granddaughter… She’s smart, obedient, hard-working, and kind. Most importantly, she gets excellent grades. I’m not bragging, but she could easily get into top schools like Tsinghua University or Peking University in the future.”

Ying Jiuming was embarrassed, “She hasn’t gone to college yet? Isn’t she a bit too young?” He couldn’t be a cougar!

“How old are you this year?”
