Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 914 - Chapter 914 Chapter 913 Instigate

Chapter 914: Chapter 913: Instigate Chapter 914: Chapter 913: Instigate Jing Tong was profoundly shocked. She could never have imagined that the poor student she had once looked down upon at school was actually a member of the Huo family from Imperial City.

Moreover, his status was quite high, as he was the biological uncle of Fu Yiming’s late wife.

Back then… had she known about Huo Linong’s identity, she would never have chosen He Rongxi.

It was Huo Linong who had truly moved her heart, and had she not thought he was just a poor boy without power or influence, she would definitely have chosen him without hesitation.

Because she knew that this man was truly gentle and truly responsible.

He would absolutely not be like He Rongxi who could turn face ruthlessly and be sinister and evil. Nor would he be like Fu Yiming, who seemed magnanimous but was in reality a self-serving person.

Jing Tong felt both hatred and annoyance, yet she dared not show it. She had been so miserably treated by He Rongxi, she no longer dared to be as arrogant as before, believing that all men would fall for her charm.

“What do you mean by that?” Fu Yiming’s temper was also ignited, “Please explain yourself. Jing Tong may not have a background, but she is still my woman. To insult her is essentially to insult me.”

“It means exactly what it says.” Huo Linong did not give an inch.

“Hmph! Since you insult people like this, it seems I came here mistakenly today.” Fu Yiming had already wanted to leave, being a man who commanded the wind and rain outside, how could he tolerate such treatment? He turned around, pulling Jing Tong, and prepared to leave.

After taking a few steps, he turned back and called out to Fu Xinwu, “Xin Wu, come, let’s go home.”

“I am not going back.” Fu Xinwu coldly laughed.

Only then did Fu Yiming realize his daughter was not on the same page as him. After all, she was his own flesh and blood, and it wouldn’t be right for Xin Wu to leave with him at this moment. He would just have to find an opportunity to bring Xin Wu back home later.

Having come to terms with it, Fu Yiming left directly with Jing Tong, and only when they had exited the large courtyard did his face truly darken.

Jing Tong guiltily said, “I’m sorry, I am too weak, dragging you down. If it weren’t for me, they wouldn’t have disrespected you like this.”

“They not only slapped my face but also tried to drive a wedge between you and me. I didn’t expect the Huo family would have such a disdainful attitude.”

Fu Yiming’s expression was unstable, and upon hearing Jing Tong’s words, he turned and looked at her menacingly.

Jing Tong was scared out of her wits, yet she did not let it show on her face. Instead, she felt even more guilty, fragile, and helpless.

“Yi Ming, maybe we should just let it be! Leave me to fend for myself! I didn’t drag you down when I was young, and I certainly can’t do it now that I’m older,” Jing Tong said considerately.

Fu Yiming finally withdrew his probing gaze, comforting her, “It’s not about you, the Huo family has gone too far.”

Jing Tong breathed a sigh of relief internally, her lips curling into a barely noticeable smile.

“Do you know Huo Linong?” Fu Yiming abruptly asked.

But Jing Tong was prepared, knowing Fu Yiming was a trickier old fox to deal with than He Rongxi, she would not be careless this time.

“It seems slightly familiar, let me think!” Pretending to ponder, she suddenly exclaimed, “Is it him?”

“Who?”

“He was a classmate of mine back in school!” Jing Tong said, surprised and delighted, yet also ashamed. A complex emotion flickered across her heavily made-up face, “He pursued me during school, but at that time, my heart only had room for you, so I refused him.”
