Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 853 - Chapter 853 Chapter 852 The Look of a Love Rival

Chapter 853: Chapter 852: The Look of a Love Rival Chapter 853: Chapter 852: The Look of a Love Rival Fu Xinwu felt a gaze filled with hostility staring at her, making her feel as if she were being targeted by a cold-blooded animal. Her spine stiffened involuntarily, and her entire body was on high alert, ready to spring into action.

She slowly turned her head and saw her little uncle looking at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Fu Xinwu shivered and struggled to squeeze out a flattering smile, “Little Uncle, why are you looking at me with those eyes?”

“What kind of look?” He was determined not to admit it.

“It’s… it’s like you’re looking at a love rival…” Fu Xinwu faltered towards the end, feeling utterly out of character, as she thought that her current timid appearance did not do justice to her reputation as the number one debauchee of the Imperial City.

That’s right!

She was the female scion notorious alongside Huo Kewei as one of the two greatest prodigals of the Imperial City.

But even the fiercest of prodigals had to admit defeat in front of the Great Devil. Her little uncle could make both her and Huo Kewei cry for their parents with just one hand.

Alas!

But a good fighter does not boast about his past deeds, she had already reformed herself, thoroughly renewing her heart from scratch. Didn’t you see her hair was cut short? She had resolved to become a noble person, someone with refined tastes, a person of value to the nation.

She wanted to follow in Wei Qin’s footsteps, firmly becoming someone worthy of him.

Although Fu Xinwu spoke softly, Nan Fei, who was close by, heard everything clearly. She first looked at Huo Beijiang, but when he returned her gaze earnestly, Nan Fei felt guilty and looked away.

Only after she looked away did she realize, why was she feeling guilty?

Shouldn’t Beijiang be the one feeling guilty?

She had to admit that she was thoroughly impressed by his thick-skinned nature, no wonder his nephew and niece were scared of him.

“Let’s go! Don’t block the way here.” Huo Beijiang easily picked up Fu Xinwu and put her into the car, “You really think I don’t know why you’re here? I see you’re just asking for a lesson, at such a young age, not focusing on your studies and instead learning to have an early romance.”

Speaking thus, Huo Beijiang beckoned Nan Fei and Jiang Yang to get into the car, and the group headed towards the villa.

Fu Xinwu was overwhelmed with guilt during the whole ride because her secret had been exposed, despite her meticulous cover-up. How could little uncle know about it? Didn’t little uncle feel conscience-stricken when saying this?

His wife, little aunt, was even younger than her; he had tricked her into marriage just the same. And he still had the nerve to criticize her, truly a case of unprecedented shamelessness.

Nan Fei felt that Fu Xinwu kept giving her strange looks all the way, and even Jiang Yang perceived the eerie atmosphere inside the vehicle.

Jiang Yang sitting in the back, looked at Fu Xinwu expressionlessly and calmly asked, “Were you going to see Brother Wei Qin?”

Fu Xinwu was familiar with this little boy and had even felt quite jealous of him. Not only was he her little uncle’s brother-in-law, but he also had the privilege of staying close to Wei Qin. She really wanted to nod, but remembering her father’s attitude, she could only pout so much that she could nearly hang an oil bottle from her mouth.

She couldn’t admit it; if she did, her father would break her legs, and she wouldn’t be allowed to stay at the Huo Family home anymore.

Wei Qin was such a good person, why did everyone treat him this way? So many people enjoyed the contributions he made to the national defense, verbally praising him, yet not a single person was willing to marry their children to him.

Even the younger members of the family were not allowed to play with him. They spoke nicely, saying not to disturb his rest, but in reality, weren’t they just afraid that Wei Qin might have an episode and they wouldn’t be able to take responsibility?
