Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 238 - Chapter 238 Chapter 238 Cuicui and Huahua_1

Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Cuicui and Huahua_1 Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Cuicui and Huahua_1 “It serves him right! He remarried a new woman immediately after Sasha’s mother passed away. And he had the audacity to claim it was in order to look after Sasha well. Take a look at her, how well has she been taken care of? She gets into fights and skips school every other day, a true delinquent.”

“I heard that he and Jing Tong had something going on even before Sasha’s mother passed away.”

“You’re saying they were an item long before? He Rongxi cheated on his wife?” rage filled Chen Cuihua’s voice as she declared, “I’ve said long before that Jing Tong isn’t up to any good – a fox amongst us. Considering she likes hanging around with high society women, it’s no wonder they all look down on her.”

“Ahem…my son is here! Please be mindful of what you’re saying.”

Chen Cuihua dismissed the caution, saying, “No big deal! Better he knows about this early on, rather than being fooled by such women in future.”

Gongxi Yunqi felt like he couldn’t sit there any longer.

“Her arrest must had something to do with offending the wrong people in the countryside,” Gongxi Heng mused and added, “It reminds us that we cannot look down on anyone no matter their status. The saying that there is always someone better, richer, or more powerful, rings so true.”

“Absolutely!” Chen Cuihua agreed, “Even I, as the wife of the wealthiest man, keep a low profile, but Jing Tong is always showing off and aiming for the stars.”

“…Didn’t I mention keeping a low profile? How do you follow that up by announcing yourself as the wife of the richest man? By that measure, aren’t you implying that I’m the richest man?”

“Exactly! So you ought to work doubly hard. If we lose our status as the wealthiest, I’ll get rid of you on the spot.”

“Okay, okay…I can’t win against you.”

“Serves him right!”

Gongxi Yunqi stood up coldly from the sofa and motioned the butler to come over.

“Young Master, what can I assist you with?”

“Arrange a driver for me. I want to return to Qi Li Town while there’s still daylight.” He realized he could no longer stay in this home. He decided to run away, vowing not to return until the holiday break.

“I thought you said you’re leaving tomorrow? Why the sudden change of mind?”

Gongxi Yunqi met his mother’s eye with a cold, detached smirk, then exited the room without looking back. The items that took him an entire afternoon to pack, filled almost the entire truck.

He had left home many times before, but never with such an entourage. He thought his mother had finally come to her senses.

But evidently…

Her ‘change of heart’ turned out to be nothing more than an empty gesture.

If it hadn’t been intended for Jiang Nanfei, he would’ve thrown it all away, truck and all.

Chen Cuihua attempted to follow him, but Gongxi Heng held her back.

“Don’t bother chasing after him. He’s in good hands; I have arranged a reliable driver for him. Let him go,” said Gongxi Heng, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at his son boarding the vehicle in the yard. “I suspect the haste of his departure means he’s eager to meet someone.”

“Who could he possibly want to meet? He’s just a wooden-headed fool,” Chen Cuihua could not hide the disdain for her son, “There’s such a pretty girl in his class, but he fails to seize the opportunity. Isn’t that foolish?”

Gongxi Heng remained silent.

“When he returns this Sunday, you should take him to the hospital for a checkup to see if there’s anything wrong with him. He’s seventeen now, in the prime of youth, how can he show no interest in girls!”

“Cuihua…”

“Can you stop referring to me by that name?”

“Huahua?”

“Yes!”

“Huahua, you can’t force our son to share your obsession with beauty. I believe he takes after me, valuing people’s character, temperament, and inner beauty.”
