Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 813 - Chapter 813 Chapter 812 Not So Fragile

Chapter 813: Chapter 812 Not So Fragile Chapter 813: Chapter 812 Not So Fragile He wasn’t that fragile, but when it came to Yuan Xueshan’s final wish, he was definitely going to fulfill it.

“Moreover, I won’t personally kill Leng Peixi. But tell her to wash her neck and wait for me, I’ll settle this account, I want her to pay back everything with interest.”

Having said that, he left with large strides without turning his head.

Huo Linong watched his retreating figure, eventually his shoulders slumped as if he were dead.

Actually, when it comes down to it, Bei Jiang’s personality is most like Leng Peixi’s.

His temperament is gentle, and he is easily softhearted. Yuan Xueshan is impulsive and easily exploited.

Neither of these traits did Bei Jiang possess.

It was only after the footsteps had faded away that Ying Jiuming came out of the washroom. His expression was complex and difficult to decipher; he was just afraid Bei Jiang, in his impulsiveness, might get beaten up by his own father.

So he had hidden away when he heard he was coming, but he ended up overhearing the conversation between father and son.

Quite awkward!

“Little Ying, thank you,” Huo Linong pulled himself together and thanked him.

Since there was no way to stop Bei Jiang’s decision, all he could do was support it. Once back in Imperial City, Leng Peixi would surely become even more unhinged.

“Little Ying, I hope you can catch the murderer soon.”

If they could just lock Leng Peixi up in prison, it would be better than her harming people everywhere.

“We will, definitely will.”

Ying Jiuming hurriedly said his farewells and left, but as soon as he stepped out of the hospital room, someone grabbed him by the neck from behind.

He reacted quickly, trying to subdue his attacker in turn, but the other person had anticipated his move and struck him in the lower back with a knee, causing him to grimace in pain.

“Let go, let go now.”

Such a familiar move; he didn’t even need to say it to know who it was. “Let go now or I’m reporting you for assaulting an officer.”

“Getting cocky, huh!” Huo Beijiang held onto Ying Jiuming’s neck without letting go, dragging him from the corridor all the way to the hospital entrance.

“I was wrong, big brother, I was wrong.” Damn, there went the lifetime reputation of Captain Ying.

“Did you really make a mistake? You think I’m a fool, don’t you?”

Huo Beijiang let go, crossed his arms, and looked down at him, “Impressive! Hiding in the restroom thinking I wouldn’t find out? Who taught you all those undercover skills back then, have you forgotten?”

“No, definitely not.”

Ying Jiuming quickly straightened his clothes, inwardly relieved that he hadn’t worn his uniform today; otherwise, he’d be too embarrassed to face the people of Jiangdong.

Now he just had to pretend like nothing had happened.

Right! Like nothing had happened.

“How’s your wife? I could have personally taken her to see you last night.”

Ying Jiuming mentally patted himself on the back for his cleverness. At times like these, only Jiang Nanfei could calm Huo Beijiang down!

In the past, whenever Huo Beijiang forced him to call her sister-in-law, he had never been as willing as he was today.

Mentioning Nan Fei softened Huo Beijiang’s expression a lot, hearing that it was he who had sent Nan Fei to find him; it really wasn’t appropriate to settle the score with Ying Jiuming this time.

Overall, this kid still had his redeeming features.

“Brother, your wife really treats you well.” Ying Jiuming was incredibly obsequious.

“For us men, finding a wife like this in our lifetime is truly worth it.”

Huo Beijiang gave him a look, “That’s my wife.”

“…” A man must not covet his brother’s wife; was he, Ying Jiuming, such a lowly person?

“You can insult my intelligence, but you can’t insult my character.”

Huo Beijiang slapped him irritably; it had only been a year since he went to the provincial city, how had he turned out like this?
