Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 652 - Chapter 652 Chapter 652 For the Younger Brother-in-Law_1

Chapter 652: Chapter 652: For the Younger Brother-in-Law_1 Chapter 652: Chapter 652: For the Younger Brother-in-Law_1 The main reason was that it was too draining, and she planned to keep doing this in the future, so she naturally didn’t want to devote her energy to it. Besides, she had been preoccupied with preparing for the university entrance examination, and Chen Cuihua and Wu Huai wouldn’t have forced her either.

Once these three high-end custom designs were completed, they were immediately sent to Jin Lifu’s house by a specialist from Xin Yuan.

******

Jin Lifu’s house was in the academy district of the Imperial City, in a private garden-style area called Yanlan Qijin. It did not possess the extravagant wealth of the villas on the hillside where the rich lived, but the private garden-style design in the academy district, full of top talent, was still elegant without being ostentatious.

After all, those living here were either professors, expert scholars, or artists.

They wouldn’t trade their homes for a hillside villa.

At this time, the Jin family had relatives over. Jin Lifu’s brother-in-law, Wei Fangyi, brought his entire family to celebrate the birthday of Jin Lifu’s wife, Tang Lan. Jin Lifu disliked extravagance, and they usually only had a small gathering for her birthday.

At the dinner table, the two families were eating and chatting without much formality.

“Lifu, I heard that you wouldn’t be back for another six months. How come you’re back early?” Wei Fangyi asked, puzzled.

“Don’t even mention it?” Mentioning this got Jin Lifu all worked up, “It’s all because of my old classmate. He’s usually so mild-mannered, yet his son is outrageously arrogant. If his son hadn’t gone abroad and dragged me back, my research wouldn’t have been interrupted halfway.”

Wei Fangyi, a tall, imposing middle-aged man, laughed, perhaps reminded of something by his words.

“You’re laughing?” Jin Lifu asked, annoyed.

“Was it Huo Beijiang who dragged you back?”

“Absolutely! It was Huo Beijiang.”

“Only that boy could pull off something like this! I’ve always said he’s a promising young man. It’s a waste to have him in the Southeast Military Region. Thankfully, he’s been transferred back now.”

His wife, Tang Qian, glared at him reproachfully, “And you’re praising him! Our Dongxin has been bullied to death by him. It’s been a month, and she’s still so heartbroken that she can’t eat. She’s become much thinner than before.”

Wei Fangyi disagreed, “How could this be considered bullying? If he doesn’t like her and wants to call off the marriage, let him! Dongxin is such an excellent girl, is she afraid she can’t find a good husband? In my opinion, she can choose anyone she likes from the Northern Military District.”

He had only two sons, and treated his sister’s daughter with utmost care, just like his own daughter.

“How can this not be considered bullying? Dongxin disagreed with the divorce, and he personally attacked her.”

Wei Fangyi tentatively said, “Maybe…he was just speaking his mind?”

Tang Qian looked at him in disbelief, then stuttered after a while, “You…you’re Dongxin’s uncle, right?” Perhaps he also had mental issues, and it would be a good opportunity to let her brother-in-law take a look.

Wei Fangyi wiped his sweat, he just admired Huo Beijiang, was that wrong?

“By the way! What exactly did Huo Beijiang drag you back for?” Wei Fangyi smartly changed the topic by directing the question to Jin Lifu.

“He said it was for his younger brother-in-law, a teenager who has been autistic since childhood and wanted my help.”

Therapy for psychological issues is a long-term process. He had agreed to help but wanted to finish his current tasks first. As a result, he got caught up in his work and the situation dragged on for almost a year.

No wonder they were agitated by the delay.
