Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 274 - Chapter 274 Chapter 274 Disgraceful Sight_1

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Disgraceful Sight_1 Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Disgraceful Sight_1 “Let me put it this way. I’ve known what kind of person Jinlan is since we were kids. She’s rather possessive and persistent, the type who won’t stop until she accomplishes what she set out to do. I’ve seen plenty of people like her, so it’s not surprising to see her turn out this way.”

However, he didn’t expect Jinlan to be so audacious. She was smart as a child, but as she grew up, she became rashly foolish. To even dare to scheme against her grandmother and violate the major taboo of the Huo Family.

She probably will never understand how precious her grandmother’s life is. If something unexpected happens, the entire He Family won’t be enough to make up for it.

“And yet, you guys still treat her kindly despite everything?”

“Well, our Huo Family is known for being kind and righteous! Since we’ve adopted her, we treat her like a real daughter. We’ve been good to her, no doubt about that! We haven’t neglected her in the slightest.”

Nan Fei seemed to understand what he was saying.

“So don’t worry about it. Since she’s been taken away now, and has changed her surname. From now on, she has no connection with our Huo Family. If we cut ties, we make sure to do it completely.”

“What about your mother?” She knew well how doted Yuan Xueshan was on He Jinlan. She had always been so indulgent and protective of her.

“Not anymore.” Huo Beijiang flicked the ash off his cigarette, smiling a naughty smile. “Right now, she can hardly stand her.”

Recalling her previous life, Nan Fei thought about Jing Tong’s crush on Huo Linong. Her eyes suddenly widened. Could it be as she suspected? If it were true, then Yuan Xueshan would not only stop protecting He Jinlan, but she would hate her to death.

Nan Fei couldn’t help but want to laugh when she thought about Yuan Xueshan’s reaction.

“Little fox, what are you giggling about?”

“Nothing! I didn’t laugh.” Nan Fei hurriedly put on a straight face, shaking her head emphatically.

Huo Beijiang chuckled, “Women! Such hypocritical creatures. Clearly, you’re fond of me but you refuse to admit it.”

Nan Fei: “…..”

How did the topic shift so quickly?

Grinning mischievously at the corner of his mouth, Huo Beijiang tossed the half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stepped on it. After getting into the car and starting it up, they continued their journey towards Xiao Wang Village. When they were about to reach the village, Nan Fei, not caring about her anger with him anymore, urgently said, “Stop the car…stop the car quickly.”

“What for?”

“I’ll get off here. It’s best if the villagers don’t see me.”

The handsome man’s face immediately darkened, he discontentedly said, “What? Am I that disgraceful?”

“Hehe…” Nan Fei asked him to stop the car just out of instinct. Seeing him like this now, her mischievous side couldn’t help but emerge. She sneered, “You’re just realizing that now?”

“Girl, don’t look for trouble.” The man dangerous narrowed his eyes, his deep gaze focusing on her intensely.

Nan Fei, undeterred, retorted, “Are you threatening me?”

“Then you’re too naive! I’m not one to make empty threats. I don’t waste my time on meaningless words.”

Before Nan Fei could argue further, Huo Beijiang, with one sweeping motion, lifted her onto his lap. Their car was still moving slowly while there were occasional people working in the fields outside.

The car’s window was lightly tinted and one could clearly see inside from the outside.

Nan Fei was so terrified that she felt like her soul was going to fly out, “Stop…stop…Huo Beijiang, are you mad? Quick, let me down. No, stop the car.”

She had always been an obedient person, never engaging in any reckless or daring activities. Now, she was so scared that her face turned pale. How is she going to face people if they see her like this?

How would she be able to face others ever again.

And what if he got distracted while driving and an accident happened? What if the car hit someone or drove into a ditch on the roadside? What then?

Nan Fei struggled, twisting her body to get out of his embrace.

“Apologize to me and take back what you just said.”

“What?” This guy is completely unreasonable.

“You said I am not your man. You said I am disgraceful. Since I am angry now, aren’t you going to do something about it? If you don’t plan to do anything, then I can do something instead.”

Nan Fei certainly didn’t want to see what he would do. She knew that whatever he does won’t be good. To be wise is to know when to back down–she’ll swallow her pride for now. Let’s wait and see!

Once she gets home, she’ll make sure never to see this ruffian again.

“I’m sorry! I was wrong. I take back what I said.” Nan Fei forced a smile, “I just misspoke earlier! I didn’t mean that you’re disgraceful.”

Huo Beijiang glanced at her, a rather loathsome smile on his face.

“Really?”

“Really! Absolutely.” Nan Fei explained to herself, a woman must learn to show weakness occasionally. She should not turn out like she was in her previous life–never yielding until hitting a brick wall.

A stubborn woman is the worst, only landing herself in trouble.

Right!

Absolutely right!

Good job, Jiang Nanfei! Keep it up.

Having pep-talked herself, Nan Fei looked sincerely apologetic. Resting her hand on Huo Beijiang’s chest, she tried to ignore the sensation under her fingertips, furrowing her brows as she spoke, “My head is aching!”
