Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 809 - Chapter 809 Chapter 808 Of Course You Can

Chapter 809: Chapter 808: Of Course You Can Chapter 809: Chapter 808: Of Course You Can The current third branch of the Huo Family was no longer the poor household of the past, which couldn’t even afford to send children to school.

“Of course you can.”

As the two sat in the courtyard talking, Nan Fei, with her back to the main gate, suddenly felt a sharp gaze from behind. She turned alertly, only to see Zhuanzhuan standing prettily behind her in a beautiful dress.

Seeing her turn around, Zhuanzhuan revealed a shy and well-behaved smile.

“Sis!” Zhuanzhuan called out joyfully, “How come you’re back?”

“Just came to check on the house and thought I’d pick you up to go to school in the Imperial City together!” Nan Fei replied without thinking much of it.

But while Nan Fei spoke casually, Zhuanzhuan paid attention. In her downcast eyes, a hint of blood red surged, and she bit her lip tightly, her eyelashes wet with crystalline tears.

Her sister had actually started to lie to her.

From childhood, her sister had never lied to her.

Why?

Was it because she had fallen in love with Huo Beijiang, that everyone else became unimportant?

“What’s wrong?” Nan Fei asked confusedly, “Is someone bullying you at school? Or what’s the matter?” Zhuanzhuan rarely cried since she was little, she had always been the strongest child in the family in her previous life.

Out of the three siblings, she was considered the most outstanding and diligent.

“No!” Zhuanzhuan sniffed, her voice nasal as she spoke, “Sis, thank you for coming back from the Imperial City especially to fetch me.” She emphasized the word “especially,” her eyes fixed intently on Nan Fei.

Nan Fei heard the implication in her words. In both her lives combined, she was not good at speaking, and whenever she told a lie, she would feel incredibly guilty. Now that Zhuanzhuan emphasized it so deliberately, it made Nan Fei too embarrassed to admit the truth.

“Actually…” Nan Fei hesitated, a bit ashamed to look into Zhuanzhuan’s eyes, and thus naturally missed the chill within them. “Actually, I came back this time because I heard that Bei Jiang’s mother had an accident. I came to see her, and then thought of bringing you back to the Imperial City with me.”

“Is that so?” Zhuanzhuan breathed a sigh of relief, but only she knew the lack of comfort that came with it.

Because she was merely an afterthought, not the first priority.

This realization hurt her even more than her sister lying to her.

Last year when she and Jiang Yang both fell into the river, her sister had saved her first. In just a short year, so much had changed. She watched helplessly as Huo Beijiang slowly took everything that belonged to her.

Huo Beijiang.

Zhuanzhuan silently repeated this name in her heart, looking up at her sister’s gentle smile. She couldn’t understand why a wave of agitation made her want to tear everything apart. To break free from all restraints and pretense, allowing her to act wildly and recklessly.

“By the way, Zhuanzhuan, I actually have something I want to ask you.”

“Go ahead,” Zhuanzhuan said with a smile, casually picking up the edamame pods Granny had left by the door, popping them open one by one.

Nan Fei changed her sitting posture, and finally asked the question that weighed on her mind. She didn’t want her suspicions to hurt Zhuanzhuan.

“I saw your bicycle in the alley of the Huo Family’s house. Can you tell me what happened? Why was your bike there?”

Zhuanzhuan glanced subconsciously at Guan Rufang, stood up, led Nan Fei outside, and then whispered: “Sis, this is a secret, you must not tell anyone.”

Nan Fei looked straight at her, unsure whether she felt more nervous or excited.
