Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 915 - Chapter 915 Chapter 914 A Narrow Encounter

Chapter 915: Chapter 914: A Narrow Encounter Chapter 915: Chapter 914: A Narrow Encounter “Oh! Really?” Fu Yiming asked casually, “When was that?”

“During university.”

She was still young when she met Fu Yiming, just sixteen years old. Coming from a poor family background, Fu Yiming had no plans to marry her and later gave her some money to break it off. It was with this money that she managed to attend university, where she always pretended to be a rich girl from a well-off family.

“I never expected Huo Linong to be such a vindictive person, although he always acted like a refined gentleman during university. In reality, he was a selfish and petty man, who stopped giving you face just because I had rejected him.”

“Hmph!” Fu Yiming scoffed coldly, saying nothing.

Jing Tong knew that Fu Yiming was very petty. He didn’t say anything on the surface, but he always kept a silent tally in his heart! Even if he didn’t act out now, she couldn’t believe he would be able to hold it in for long.

Both harboring their thoughts, they walked outside, but coincidentally bumped straight into Huo Beijiang and his group coming in.

Huo Beijiang was accompanied by around a dozen people, all young but with an impressive demeanor, clearly not ordinary. Among them was Ying Jiuming, who had just been transferred to Imperial City not long ago.

The two groups met on the narrow concrete road, and Fu Yiming, upon seeing Huo Beijiang, involuntarily revealed a friendly smile.

“Bei Jiang is back!” He knew in his heart that although Huo Beijiang was young, he was now the real head of the Huo Family.

He dared to call off the engagement arranged by the old master on his deathbed and still come out unscathed, showing that no one could suppress him anymore. His own father-in-law, although highly respected, had also voluntarily relinquished his power.

Thus, facing this young brother-in-law, his heart disliked his youth yet feared his power. The Huo Family was an indispensable support for him, as his wife had passed away many years ago, and the only remaining link was his daughter.

Thinking of this, Fu Yiming was even more determined to bring Xin Wu back for a good talk.

This was a major issue and couldn’t be taken lightly.

“What’s this, brother-in-law…” Huo Beijiang’s sharp gaze casually swept over Jing Tong, his thin lips curling into a smile that was neither warm nor genuine.

“Oh! Look at me, I forgot to introduce her,” Fu Yiming smacked his forehead and pointed at Jing Tong, saying, “This is Jing Tong. Xin Wu has been without a mother for so many years and lacks maternal love. And I don’t want it this way, but luckily, I know Jing Tong, who is gentle and kind.”

The rest wasn’t stated in detail, but everyone understood.

However, those following Huo Beijiang all displayed disdain. This man was really pretending to be righteous; if he wanted a woman, he should just say so outright. Why bring up Fu Xinwu? The girl was about to graduate and start working, and only now he remembered she lacked motherly love–didn’t he find that ridiculous?

“Hello!” Jing Tong trembled all over.

Today’s shock was too great; she never imagined that the man she had once been madly in love with and coveted was the ruthless, cunning, and inscrutable new head of the Huo Family described by Fu Yiming.

Before coming, Fu Yiming had specifically warned her. She needn’t worry about other members of the Huo Family, but she should be most cautious of this young brother-in-law.

Now, seeing Huo Beijiang’s imposingly handsome face, Jing Tong felt guilty and dared not meet his eyes. Her gaze shifted around, briefly skimming over Huo Beijiang’s tall, lean, and upright figure, which his olive-green military uniform only accentuated, revealing his perfectly proportioned physique.
