Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 841 - Chapter 841 Chapter 840 Call Me Daddy

Chapter 841: Chapter 840: Call Me Daddy Chapter 841: Chapter 840: Call Me Daddy He gave up his most beloved military career, choosing to be discharged. He had lived these past years like a walking corpse, and everyone knew it had something to do with a woman named Yu Guoqiu. His father was both disappointed and heartbroken over him, and sometimes in frustration, he would complain about Yu Guoqiu.

Everyone thought he hated Yu Guoqiu because if it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have left the army. He wouldn’t have gone from the shining future star of the military to the gloomy and cold businessman he was now.

Everyone just assumed that she was the one who had ruined him. But only he knew clearly in his heart, that wasn’t so.

The reason he had lived like a walking corpse all these years was indeed because of Yu Guoqiu.

But it wasn’t because of hatred.

He had never hated Yu Guoqiu.

“Yao Yao, why are you just standing there looking silly? Come and look, this is your son; Yiji must be your son.”

Huo Kewei was happier than anyone else, someone unaware might even think it was his own son! Excitedly he said, “No wonder I thought Yiji was so cute, so pleasing at first glance. It turns out he’s your son, only your son could make me like him so much!”

Yu Yiji felt that everyone was looking at him strangely, as if they were looking at candies, as if about to devour him. A little scared, he didn’t dare to sit with Huo Kewei again and quietly went to hide beside Jiang Yang.

“Jiang Yang, has Uncle Ke Wei gone crazy? I heard from Mom that mental illness is contagious, should we stay away from him?”

Jiang Yang pursed his lips and sighed helplessly. He had just felt like he was getting better, but seeing all the adults acting this way, he felt it was more appropriate to feel not yet recovered.

“Jiang Yang, I want to go home. I haven’t been back in such a long time, Mom must be so worried,” Yu Yiji said, pulling on Jiang Yang’s sleeve like a little wife, looking pitiful, “Let’s go, okay?”

“I still need to wait for Brother Wei Qin to wake up.”

“Then… then I’ll go back by myself.” The little guy got his play-worn backpack, now dirty beyond recognition, onto his back, and was about to start his short-legged journey home, when Zuo Xinyao, who had been standing still, suddenly walked up to him, blocking his way.

Yu Yiji took a step back, saying pitifully, “Uncle… what do you want? There’s nothing tasty left in my backpack; you can’t steal anything from it.”

Zuo Xinyao: “…”

This is really his son? Not some glutton’s?

Huo Beijiang watched the drama unfold for a while, taking pleasure in others’ misfortune, he said, “Zuo Xinyao, your son is much cuter than you were as a child.”

Zuo Xinyao glared at Huo Beijiang but then thought that if it hadn’t been for him deliberately revealing it, he might have been kept in the dark forever. After coming to terms with it, his expression softened a bit, and he made a serious promise, “This time I owe you a favor, and I will repay it in the future.”

“Just one favor? There should be at least two favors for one adult and one child, right?” Someone shamelessly pushed their luck.

Zuo Xinyao simply pretended not to hear.

“Call me Daddy!” Xinyao tried to show a friendly smile, but he hadn’t smiled for such a long time that his stiff smile was more frightening than if he hadn’t smiled at all.

“Call me Daddy, and I’ll take you to eat something delicious; whatever you want, we’ll buy. We could even move the whole supermarket home if you like,” Zuo Xinyao boasted extravagantly.

The moment he heard he could move an entire supermarket home, the eyes of Yu Yiji, who had wanted to hide behind Jiang Yang, gleamed like black grapes, and he asked in surprise, “You’re not lying to me? Mom says that many adults are very bad nowadays, and they especially like to trick cute kids like me.”
