Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 941 - Chapter 941 Chapter 940 Settling Accounts

Chapter 941: Chapter 940: Settling Accounts Chapter 941: Chapter 940: Settling Accounts “In a few days, I’ll go pick someone up.”

“That’s great! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the young miss.” the nanny said happily.

“Go pour me two cups of tea.”

“Yes!”

The nanny turned to pour the tea, and Fu Yiming beckoned his secretary to sit down on the couch.

Fu Yiming’s secretary was a woman named Yan Lirong. Probably in her thirties, she was serious yet not rigid. With a strong ability to work, she had been with the company for nearly ten years and her performance had always been very outstanding. She also had Fu Yiming’s trust.

“Little Yan, please sit down! Make yourself at home.” After Fu Yiming seated himself, he leaned tiredly against the couch, unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

After sitting down, Yan Lirong looked at Fu Yiming and said, “Boss, did you offend someone?”

She had attended the gathering today. The scene she witnessed was something she had never seen in her ten years with the company. She had never imagined that someone would dare to make fun of her boss.

“Boss, if you have offended someone, we need to think of a way to resolve it as soon as possible.”

Although the Fu Family was considered a first-class noble family in Imperial City, the real power brokers weren’t the businessmen but those in the military and political spheres.

These were absolutely the big shots one must not offend.

“I did offend someone.” Fu Yiming remembered the humiliation he had suffered in the courtyard and clenched his teeth in anger.

Indeed, the successor personally chosen by the old Huo Family head had methods that were both ruthless and quick.

“I’ve offended my little brother-in-law who recently returned to the Huo Family.”

“Major General Huo?” Yan Lirong, who had been with Fu Yiming for a long time, was also familiar with the big figures in military and political circles. Her eyes widened in disbelief when she heard his words. “Boss, how could you offend your brother-in-law?”

Because the situation was more serious than expected, Yan Lirong spoke bluntly, “Boss, how could you have offended Major General Huo? Your relationship with the Huo Family has always been good, and there’s also the young miss in the middle. In the future, everything you have will belong to the young miss, and if for no one else, the Huo Family has to consider the young miss’s face.”

“If it were someone else, certainly not. But you don’t understand Huo Beijiang. When he turns against you, it doesn’t matter whose face it is–not even Xin Wu’s, and he wouldn’t have spared my wife had she been alive.” Fu Yiming wasn’t completely foolish; he did have some discernment when it came to people.

“Then you definitely shouldn’t have offended Major General Huo.” Although Major General Huo had not been back for long, Yan Lirong had heard quite a bit about the fame of Third Master Huo.

“What was the reason? Can you tell me? We need to find a way to make amends. Otherwise, the kind of situation you faced tonight will happen more often, and it’ll only get worse.”

“I know!” Fu Yiming rubbed his hand through his hair as the nanny came with the tea and asked, “Where is Jing Tong?”

“In her room.”

“Call her down for me.”

“Alright.”

The nanny went upstairs, and in less than three minutes, a cheerful sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Yan Lirong looked up to see a woman who was past her prime yet well maintained, with pale, delicate skin, but the vulgar, worldly air about her was intolerable even for Yan Lirong, a woman herself.

She had long heard that the boss found new love and had imagined it to be a young girl fresh out of university. Never did she expect the boss to have such unique taste, picking a woman past her prime and completely lacking in elegance.

Yan Lirong quickly guessed why the boss had offended Major General Huo. It was truly unworthy for him to offend the Huo Family now, after so many years of bachelorhood, for a woman like this.
