Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 833 - Chapter 833 Chapter 832 I Am Here

Chapter 833: Chapter 832: I Am Here Chapter 833: Chapter 832: I Am Here Ever since her rebirth, her memories from the previous life had gradually been waning. Trying to force those recollections today had nearly shattered her fragile nerves, on top of an intense mental disturbance that she was barely able to withstand.

Lu Jin, who had been secretly following Nan Fei, discovered her collapsed by the roadside and hurriedly ran over to support her.

“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, how are you?” He was about to lift Nan Fei when he saw a familiar car speeding towards them, screeching to a halt right in front of them.

Huo Beijiang jumped out of the car, his handsome face frighteningly grim.

“What happened?” he demanded sternly.

“I don’t know, she was fine and then suddenly fainted.” Lu Jin was full of self-reproach.

The boss had tasked him with secretly protecting sister-in-law, and yet he had failed to guard her properly; he had lost the face of the special forces and, even more, had let his boss down.

Huo Beijiang held Nan Fei in his arms, finding her so featherlight that it pained his heart.

“Nan Fei!” he called gently, and then with horror, he saw the tears still fresh on his wife’s face, “Wife, wife?” He noticed Nan Fei’s hands were clenched into fists, faintly straining, knuckles showing an abnormal shade of pale blue.

This wasn’t a simple fainting spell but a reaction to a sudden, unbearable shock.

He dangerously narrowed his eyes and glanced at the words “Fengshan Women’s Prison.”

Nan Fei, in a daze, seemed to hear Bei Jiang’s voice and slowly opened her eyes to his enlarged, handsome face.

“Bei Jiang?”

“Yes! I’m here.” Huo Beijiang, scared after the fact, held her tightly in his embrace, his voice trembling, “You just scared me to death, do you know that?”

The pain in her head gradually subsided, Nan Fei smiled faintly, her body weakly leaning against his chest, she softly spoke, “I didn’t know. Aren’t you the fearsome Great Devil who terrifies everyone? Can you also be scared to death?”

She didn’t believe it for a second!

Huo Beijiang tightened his arms around her, wishing he could meld her into his very being. He resolved that he must keep her by his side at all times from now on; otherwise, he was sure he wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep.

In her presence, what Great Devil was he? In front of her, he was just a man timid and afraid of trouble.

Afraid of seeing her sad, even more afraid of her getting hurt.

He had already lost so many important family members, he absolutely could not lose the woman he loved most.

“I’m certainly not the Great Devil; who’s been spouting nonsense about me?” Huo Beijiang suppressed the gloom and worry in his heart, deliberately using a lighthearted tone, “Is it Little Deer taking the opportunity to besmirch me again?”

Lu Jin stood aside with his eyes widened in indignation. He was wronged! He was even more wronged than Dou E.

Why is it should it snow in June? Perhaps he should just go and buy some water to curry favor with sister-in-law! His boss’s heart had already turned to stone.

“It’s not Little Deer; don’t wrong people indiscriminately,” Nan Fei casually tugged on his clothing. This man just liked to make others carry the blame.

“I’ll take you to the hospital!” Huo Beijiang said, placing her in the back seat of the car.

“No need! No need to go to the hospital.” The pain from earlier had passed, and she was feeling much better now. Nan Fei knew what was happening to her; there was no need for a hospital, and even if she went, it wouldn’t resolve the confusion in her heart.

The thoughts she had earlier, she dared not speak of them to anyone.

“You look very pale; what exactly happened?” With the car door ajar, Huo Beijiang stood at the entrance, casually taking the water Lu Jin had bought, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Nan Fei.

“Drink some water first.”
