Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 718 - Chapter 718 Chapter 717 Pride_1

Chapter 718: Chapter 717: Pride_1 Chapter 718: Chapter 717: Pride_1 “I’ve said that I left, I never made an appearance throughout.”

“So you gave yourself away in front of Tang Qian.” Wei Shufen knew what kind of person her daughter was and immediately drew a conclusion, “It’s going to be troublesome this time. Even though you drove him away, your reputation will definitely be affected. It’s a pity that the real victim is now seen as narrow-minded.”

The expression on Lu Dongxin’s face fluctuated between dark and clear.

“You really disappoint me, even less than your younger brother.”

Lu Dongxin, who was already in a bad mood, felt even more down because of that remark.

“Mother, I don’t understand why you’re so good to Wei An, who is only my cousin. You always indulge him more than me, your own child.”

“I…” Wei Shufen wanted to speak, but her words got stuck in her throat.

Tears welled up in Lu Dongxin’s eyes, and she said aggrievedly, “When you and father forced me into a marriage alliance with the Huo family, to marry Huo Beijiang. Initially, I disagreed, but you insisted on how outstanding he was, so I agreed. Just as I had accepted him, he showed his true colors and ruthlessly broke up with me. Now you even blame me for being foolish.”

Wei Shufen couldn’t stand to see her daughter cry, and her heart immediately softened. She tried to comfort her daughter, but Lu Dongxin pushed her away.

“Dongxin, why are you still thinking about Huo Beijiang? With your family background, can’t you find any man you want?” Wei Shufen tried to advise, “Besides, his relations with Jiang Nanfei are so complicated, he’s not worthy of you.”

“Mom, stop deluding yourself.” Lu Dongxin rubbed her eyes, making them even redder, and she looked weak and fragile.

“It’s clear that he didn’t appreciate me. Once the elderly leader died, he ruthlessly broke up with me.”

“Nonsense!” Wei Shufen’s face became stern.

The truth was, she knew perfectly well that her daughter had been pampered by everyone since she was a child. Her parents, uncles, aunts all loved her. She had everything she wanted, but because Huo Beijiang didn’t like her, she couldn’t forget him.

How infuriating!

With a glint in her eyes, Wei Shufen thought of the previous humiliation of being turned away from the Huo family. She couldn’t swallow this grudge, and even wondered why Huo Beijiang would choose Jiang Nanfei over the stunning and well-born Dongxin. Once she saw Jiang Nanfei, whom was driven out, she understood why.

She should know – having been in love before, who can understand men better than her?

Looking at Jiang Nanfei’s pretty face and figure, no man could resist her allure.

When she looked at her beloved daughter, her feelings of disgust intensified.

“Dongxin, no matter who Jiang Nanfei is, she will never get approval from the Huo family. She’s merely the woman rejected by Huo Beijiang, not you. You will always be the daughter-in-law handpicked by Elder Leader Huo. No one can compare with you.”

“Really?” Lu Dongxin asked in surprise.

“Exactly!” Wei Shufen chuckled, “Don’t forget, Jiang Nanfei was only Huo Beijiang’s childhood love in the countryside. They had even broken their engagement before he returned to the Imperial City. Moreover, it was Huo Beijiang’s biological mother who personally went to terminate the engagement. I heard that the scene was quite unpleasant. Huo Beijiang’s mother hates Jiang Nanfei a lot.”

“Mom, you’re not lying to me, are you?”

“How could I lie to you? Elder Leader Huo personally gave me this information.”

A glimmer of contemplation flickered in Lu Dongxin’s eyes, “If that’s the case, we just need to bring Huo Beijiang’s biological mother here, then we can use her to deal with Jiang Nanfei.”
