Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 861 - Chapter 861 Chapter 860 Your Choice

Chapter 861: Chapter 860 Your Choice Chapter 861: Chapter 860 Your Choice Nan Fei pointed at Huo Beijiang, who was playing with blocks with Jiang Yang.

“It’s him,” she said.

Gu Qiu wanted to glare fiercely at the prime culprit, but the oppressively strong aura emanating from him indicated that he was not someone she could afford to provoke. Just now, amidst all those people, any one of whom could shake the Imperial City with a stomp, he had dismissed them like shooing away flies.

She didn’t have the guts for that.

So Gu Qiu only silently cursed Huo Beijiang’s ancestors to the eighteenth generation in her mind, without a trace of it showing on her face.

Yu Yiji, who was lying on his mom’s body, whispered, “Mom, are you secretly cursing someone in your heart?”

“No!” Gu Qiu firmly denied it. She was merely expressing her greetings, which was a basic social courtesy.

Yu Yiji pouted, expressing his doubt.

Although Nan Fei still didn’t know about Gu Qiu’s past identity, she could more or less guess it. She had known Zuo Xinyao and Wei Qin since her teens, and she must have grown up in a large compound as well. In terms of age, she was a few years younger than Huo Beijiang and the others.

It made sense that Gu Qiu didn’t recognize Bei Jiang, who had moved to Qi Li Town with Granny Huo when he was a child.

So, pointing to the tall figure of Huo Beijiang, she introduced him, “His name is Huo Beijiang, the younger uncle of Ke Wei–do you know him?”

Gu Qiu’s face changed as she thought of something. Her fingers trembling, she secretly pointed at Huo Beijiang’s back and whispered to Nan Fei, “He… is he The Great Devil Huo Beijiang?” Tsk, tsk, tsk… indeed a fine “bird”.

No wonder back in the compound, everyone spoke of this man with a look of painful recollections.

She had even speculated in her heart about what kind of person could elicit such strange and unbearable expressions from her friends when his name came up.

Nan Fei covered her mouth to keep from laughing out loud. Her eyes shimmered like autumn waters, and when they held laughter, they became even more enchanting. Like a tranquil, profound pool of autumn water, they left Gu Qiu utterly dumbfounded.

Huo Beijiang, who was playing blocks with Jiang Yang, touched his resolute chin, his eyes fathomless.

Lu Jin had not left, and he watched his boss with an anxious gaze, desperately wishing he could jump around. There were many people waiting for him to return! He was supposed to return to the military unit right after the flight, but the boss had first gone to the park, then to the hospital.

Now, it seemed he planned to stay for dinner before leaving.

Lu Jin finally understood what it meant to be more worried than the emperor as an eunuch, and how ancient kings would neglect their early court sessions for the sake of beauty.

It’s a good thing the boss wasn’t born in ancient times, otherwise, he would definitely have been a neglectful emperor.

“Mom, is that man named Yao Yao really my dad?” Yu Yiji asked expectantly.

Gu Qiu saw the hope in her son’s eyes and understood how pitiful it was for a boy to grow up without a father, lacking a father’s love. Despite Yu Yiji being mischievous and hyperactive as a child, he was a well-behaved and sensible kid.

He could also empathize with her hardships.

Such a good child–she absolutely refused to send him back to his father. But for her own selfishness, to deprive him of a father, she also couldn’t bear that thought.

Eventually, Gu Qiu didn’t answer, but instead asked, “Yiji, if you had to choose between dad and mom, who would you choose?”

“Can I only choose one?” Yu Yiji asked worriedly.

“Yes, only one.”

“Then, if my dad is as handsome as Yao Yao, I’ll choose dad.”

Gu Qiu: “…”

She felt like coughing up blood. Asking her to die once, was this son raised in vain?
