Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 411 - Chapter 411 Chapter 411 Unhappy_1

Chapter 411: Chapter 411 Unhappy_1 Chapter 411: Chapter 411 Unhappy_1 “I…” Yuan Xueshan wanted to say something more, but she was pulled back by He Jinlan and managed to calm down. She was angry, but this time, she had learned her lesson. After all, she was in control of herself, not anyone else.

She could go directly to Qiao Jingxuan tomorrow.

“Mom, stop talking! Maybe I misunderstood. This has nothing to do with Jiang Nanfei.”

He Jinlan said quietly, “Can you let me go home, mom? I want to go home. I can’t stand being in the He Family for another minute. I’ll die if I stay any longer. They don’t treat me like a human being. Jing Tong has… she has no feelings for me. I’m just a burden to her.”

“You should stay here for now and rest until you’re healthy again! And this Qiao Jingxuan, he’s too malicious. How could we let you marry such a man.”

With that, she gritted her teeth with animosity, as though she’d love to give Qiao Jingxuan a good beating.

“To them, I’m just a tool for their interests, an illegitimate daughter they want to keep hidden, a stain in their family. That I’m still allowed to study is already a great privilege.”

It had to be said, her words hit directly at Yuan Xueshan’s weak spot.

Even Huo Linong’s face turned gloomy, as he remained silent.

This was his own cherished daughter who he had nurtured with all his care. No mater how much he detested Jing Tong and resented He Jinlan, he still had feelings for her.

All those years spent together couldn’t disappear just like that!

“In the future, you shouldn’t return… cough, cough..” Yuan Xueshan’s words were cut off by a fierce glare from Zhou Yongxian, who had just walked out of the bedroom. Without thinking, she quickly corrected herself, “You should focus on your studies; pay more respect and kindness to them and they’ll see your worth.”

He Jinlan practically ground her teeth to dust in frustration. She desperately wanted to tear apart Zhou Yongxian – the woman who had repeatedly foiled her plans.

No, this won’t do!

She must find a way to remove this old woman from her life permanently.

And eliminate the opportunity for her plans to be disrupted again.

“That’s enough! Everybody go to sleep. Stop gathering here. There’s nothing to see!” Zhou Yongxian, still dressed in her favorite quilted silk pajamas, slowly made her way into the scene. Staring disdainfully at Yuan Xueshan, she stated bluntly, “Don’t other people’s parents have a heart too? And you, the rival in love, are showing concern in their place? How generous of you.”

Yuan Xueshan’s face flushed, she wished there was a mouse hole she could disappear into.

*****

Back in the room she had grown up in, He Jinlan stood by the bed and finally let out a silent laugh.

“Hahaha…” She supressed her voice, the laughter coming out in a sharp and eerie sting.

She was finally back home!

Wishing to send her away, absolutely not.

It was past two in the morning, and the world had quietened down. He Jinlan doused the lights, and barefooted, she emerged from her room.

The lay out of the Huo House had two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs. Huo Beijiang lived in the master bedroom upstairs, and it had an en-suite bathroom. He Jinlan’s childhood room was situated right across the hall.

In the dark, she looked at the closed-door across from her and her face reflected a hint of indulgence. But soon, the feeling dissipated, replaced by a look of fierce indignation, turning into resentment, and finally a sorrowful heartache.

Why?

She had loved her brother since childhood and would do anything for him. Why didn’t he love her?

Why did he favour that contemptible Jiang Nanfei instead?

She was his child bride. She was born for him and voluntarily became his woman since childhood.

Her arrival at the Huo’s was for her brother’s sake.

How could he not like her!
