Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 313 - Chapter 313 Chapter 313 Colluding in Desperation_1

Chapter 313: Chapter 313 Colluding in Desperation_1 Chapter 313: Chapter 313 Colluding in Desperation_1 Huo Beijiang had been in a foul mood ever since he drove into the provincial city. His stern expression terrified the attendants at the gas station who thought he was looking for trouble.

He sat in the driver’s seat, his left elbow resting on the window, his right hand on the steering wheel. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he scanned the gigantic posters flashing past. A chilling glint lingered in his eyes.

Although the young maiden in the posters was the same person, she exuded innumerable charms with each distinct pose.

At times coy, or seductive, free-spirited or haughty.

He had always known his wife was exceptionally beautiful, yet he had never seen so many facets of her. Each one was utterly captivating.

It’s just incredible…

What a grand display!

Some people obviously hadn’t heeded his warnings.

If he hadn’t come to the provincial city, he would have never known that her photos were being circulated far and wide!

Huo Beijiang, unknowingly, clenched his hand on the steering wheel, leaving deep impressions in the leather.

He drove along the all-embracing boulevard and stopped in front of the National Guesthouse Hotel. As he got out, he slammed the car door shut with a resounding bang.

Ever since the last incident, Huo Beijiang had become a key person of interest for the National Guesthouse Hotel. Even the new staff could recognize him immediately.

As soon as he got out, a receptionist hastened to welcome him.

“Welcome, Captain Huo, Young Master Huo is already waiting for you in the ‘National Beauty & Heavenly Fragrance’ Hall, right this way please.”

“Couldn’t he choose another place!” He was annoyed. Just seeing the National Guesthouse Hotel worsened his mood.

The receptionist could only offer an awkward smile. His intimidating presence nearly caused her smile to collapse.

Being tall and long-legged, Huo Beijiang left the greeter in her Chinese-style cheongsam trailing behind, as he strode hurriedly. As he passed by a table seating two old men across from each other toward the staircase, he caught wind of their conversation.

His sharp instincts honed over the years allowed him to accurately grasp the key points of their conversation.

“We’ve waited in the city square for so long but she never showed up. Why wouldn’t she come?”

“Yeah, I find the design of Xin Yuan’s clothing quite familiar. Do you think it’s the same person?”

Huo Beijiang focused his lightning-sharp gaze, subtly and incisively, on the person speaking.

Xin Yuan again!

Mr. Mi suddenly felt as if he were being watched by a savage beast, which sent shivers down his spine.

Looking around, he found nothing and attributed the feeling to old age and illusion.

“I think we should submit the sketches to the drawing and painting contest. Once the designer sees her work winning a prize, surely she would come to us.”

“Sounds logical, very logical.”

Huo Beijiang sneered inwardly, adding another pitfall for Xin Yuan in his mind.

He then solemnly began to ascend the stairs.

Inside the ‘National Beauty & Heavenly Fragrance’ Hall, Huo Kewei sprawled over an entire red velvet sofa. His flamboyant white suit contrasted the red sofa while his sly, peach blossom eyes added to his deceitful demeanor even when not smiling.

It was undeniable that he had ‘I am bad news’ written all over his face.

Opposite him sat another man with slightly long hair, profoundly elegant and charming.

The sight of these two men together amused Huo Beijiang as soon as he walked in.

“Uncle,” Huo Kewei leapt up upon spotting him.

“Uncle, I’ve run away from home. Please shelter me.”

“Get lost,” Huo Beijiang kicked him away dismissively, “As if Young Master Huo lacks shelter!”

While speaking, he walked over and seated himself on the sofa.

“What’s this? Has the sun risen from the west today? The fox spirit and the peach blossom spirit can play together? What is this? A case of birds of a feather flocking together?”

The peach blossom spirit obviously referred to Huo Kewei who wore his deceit on his face.

The fox spirit referred to the elegant and extraordinary man opposite him.

He had a pair of crystal clear eyes that would make any beautiful woman envious.

“Uncle, you’re saying we’re in cahoots, but what about you and Tu Lou?” Huo Kewei murmured.
