Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 909 - Chapter 909 Chapter 908 Invitation

Chapter 909: Chapter 908: Invitation Chapter 909: Chapter 908: Invitation “What’s the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I…” Tu Lou hesitated for a moment before saying, “You also have today!”

Tu Cheng couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, and Huo Beijiang turned around to see, “Why are you here too? I remember I didn’t invite you.” He had only sent Tu Lou a notice, asking him to come to the funeral the day after tomorrow and help out with a small favor.

“Can’t I come?” Tu Cheng said condescendingly, “If I don’t come, my little brother won’t either.”

“Is your brother three years old? Does he need you to watch over him every single moment?”

The term “brother complex” wasn’t popular yet, but if it were used to describe anyone, Tu Cheng would be the perfect fit.

Tu Cheng was so choked up by Huo Beijiang’s words that he couldn’t speak for a while, until Tu Lou, unable to bear it any longer, hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

After confirming that Huo Beijiang was alright, Xi Liqun greeted him and left with his people. The military exercise had just ended, and there was a slew of follow-up work and various meeting summaries that needed to be attended to. Before leaving, he also took Yu Xiaoxiao with him, to represent the 36th Division.

After Xi Liqun left, Tu Cheng finally put away the repulsion and disgust on his face, and the three walked side by side towards the exit. Their respective guards followed behind, almost filling the entire corridor as they walked.

All along the way, they received numerous strange glances, but Huo Beijiang acted as if he hadn’t seen them, completely indifferent.

Tu Cheng had a cold expression on his face, as if he was keeping others at bay.

Tu Lou didn’t have skin as thick as theirs, so he took a step back and followed behind the two. Once they left the hospital, the three stopped by the roadside to start talking.

“What exactly happened?” Tu Lou asked anxiously, “How could Auntie die? Wasn’t she fine before?”

As soon as they received the news, they found a way to leave their study group and return to Imperial City. They didn’t even tell their old man; lately, as Tu Cheng grew older, Tu Zheng had become anxious. He had recently made arrangements with several outstanding young women from the State Security Department.

Wanting his son to come back and settle his lifelong affairs. When making arrangements, he thought about his younger son, who wasn’t young either. If one is to be settled, both can be settled.

It was better to handle both at the same time.

Thus, Tu Lou unfortunately had to suffer along with his brother, to the point where they both dared not return home for the New Year or take any holidays.

This time coming back to Imperial City was also done in secret.

Huo Beijiang lit a cigarette and stood under the roadside tree, puffing clouds of smoke, while recounting what happened to the dumfounded brothers, who had very similar expressions.

True siblings indeed, although their personalities differed, their faces were quite similar.

Tu Cheng took a cigarette from Huo Beijiang’s pack and pulled out a lighter to light it. He took a deep drag before saying, “Are you now… going to kill your own mother?”

Has this guy gone mad?

“Just repaying murder with murder,” Huo Beijiang flicked the ash off his cigarette and tried to lean against the tree trunk, but forgetting the wound on his back, he winced in piercing pain as he touched it. His handsome brows and eyes were tinged with a trace of ferocity because of the pain.

He pursed his lips but didn’t move. Still leaning against the tree, he let the pain at his back spread.

The brothers exchanged a look, confirming in their hearts that this guy had indeed gone mad.

“Leng Peixi is no simple figure! In the years she’s been missing, her experiences abroad are a mystery, and her background must be deep,” Huo Beijiang said calmly, “Moreover, in my brother’s death, there are hints of her involvement to be found.”

“You’re saying it’s her?” Tu Cheng’s eyes darkened, a turmoil of emotions gathering at their depths.
