Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 985 - Chapter 985 Chapter 984 Judgment

Chapter 985: Chapter 984 Judgment Chapter 985: Chapter 984 Judgment Nan Fei instinctively looked around. This habit lingered from her dream of a past life involving a fatal car accident. Whenever she walked on complicated roads, she would always look both ways.

“I should be asking you, why are you here?”

Nan Fei pulled her up and gently wiped the tears off her face with her sleeve. Yet, she deliberately spoke in a light tone, “I can hardly believe it–to think that one day you’d be sitting on the street crying. If He Shasha knew, she would definitely flip out.”

“I’m fine!” Leng Ran held back her tears, her emotions quickly settling as she reverted to her usual cold and proud self. “Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be at military training at this time?”

“I took a leave because of some urgent matters.”

It wasn’t appropriate for the two to catch up in the middle of the street. Seeing a teahouse right behind her, Nan Fei pulled Leng Ran inside. As they passed the second table by the window, her intuition made her glance at the mixed-race man sitting in the chair.

In the nineties in Imperial City, there were already quite a few foreigners on the streets, but mixed-race individuals were still rare.

The man, noticing her looking, gave Nan Fei a friendly smile.

For some reason, even though his smile was warm, she felt something was off. Nan Fei had already walked past but instinctively looked back only to find him still staring at her, unembarrassed even though she caught him in the act.

His smile grew even warmer.

For any ordinary young maiden, such enthusiastic attention from a handsome mixed-race man would likely cause blushing and heart-throbbing, or perhaps shy head-lowering to escape.

But Nan Fei did none of these. She pursed her red lips and gave him a subtle nod, then calmly sat down at the next table.

Her intuition told her that this man was no simple character. Only naive young girls led by springtime fantasies would think it was a romantic “love at first sight” encounter. In her past life, her family was ruined and she herself died tragically–if she were still that foolish in this life, she might as well kill herself outright.

Her keen intuition sensed danger and even detected the scent of a conspiracy.

Although she couldn’t yet pinpoint what it was, one thing was clear: avoiding it would be futile. Since someone was scheming against her from the shadows, she would absolutely not back down. This life, when facing enemies, she would never show mercy.

Nan Fei, who had calmed down, felt a surge of fighting spirit reignite within her.

“A pot of Pu’er tea, please, and some snacks.”

“Right away!”

Feng Sha’s eyes drooped, his mixed heritage giving him deep-set eyes and more pronounced facial features. His eyelids completely hid the complex emotions in his eyes. His pale fingers twitched nervously on the table, his heart uncontrollably excited at the thought that Huo Beijiang’s woman was sitting at the adjacent table.

But he had misjudged earlier, thinking Jiang Nanfei was just a commoner from the countryside, betrothed in childhood only because of her beauty. But for Huo Beijiang, what kind of woman couldn’t he have?

He wouldn’t care much about a childhood betrothal.

But they were wrong.

This fiancee was not simple; a stunningly beautiful yet complex woman could be lethally attractive to men.

The Mistress had made a smart move: having Jiang Nanfei was like gripping Huo Beijiang’s throat.
