Chapter 264: Chapter 264: That Kind of Person_1 Chapter 264: Chapter 264: That Kind of Person_1 In her previous life, Huo Jinlan took advantage of their last names, reaping all the benefits from both the Huo and He families. It was only later when she discovered Huo Jinlan’s true identity and in the worst of their disputes, she had to suffer all the losses because of the same last name.
Such a feeling was like that of Yuan Xueshan who had given all that she had to raise a daughter, only to find out in the end that the child was actually that of her rival.
Her best friend and most intimate sister-in-law turned out to be a woman coveting her husband, and many things that happened behind her back were plots set by her.
So, Huo Jinlan must revert to her original name, He Jinlan.
It was rare for his wife to actively please him, and he could not wait to float up to the sky. He leaned his sculptured-like face towards hers, and whispered, “Of course, but I have a request.”
Nan Fei took a deep breath, “Go ahead!” She knew beforehand that this thick-skinned man wouldn’t miss a chance to make a hard bargain.
“When things are settled, give me a kiss.”
Nan Fei gritted her teeth, “All right! Deal.”
“I’ll leave this to you. Do as you wish, I’m going out for a smoke.” He, a big man, really didn’t want to quarrel with others if he could help it.
He preferred a direct approach to problems.
Nan Fei was stunned for a moment, then gave him a smile.
The thing Huo Beijiang hated most was her saying thanks. It indicated that she still didn’t see him as her own, as a man who could shield her from the wind and rain, and back her up.
This made him involuntarily furrow his brows, which quickly smoothed over.
Then he stood up to leave, giving Ying Jiuming a meaningful look before he left. The latter, looking confused, followed him out the door. Once outside, he couldn’t help but blow up.
“Why did you come out? With your venomous tongue and bravery, none of them combined can match you.”
Huo Beijiang lit a cigarette on his own, listening to Ying Jiuming’s words, he almost wanted to slap him.
“Get lost! Am I that kind of person? Quarreling with a bunch of old, frail women and children for no reason? Aren’t you ashamed to say it out loud?!”
But weren’t you just recklessly causing a ruckus in there?
Huo Beijiang gave him a kick, “Look at the mess you made. If we had released He Rongxi early this morning, would we be in this trouble now?”
Ying Jiuming knew that he had been dragging his feet. If he had released He Rongxi early this morning, that annoying Lawyer Chen wouldn’t possibly have found Jiang Nanfei.
He would have taken He Rongxi straight back to the provincial capital.
“I’ve been too busy! I forgot when I got busy.”
Since things had already happened, Huo Beijiang didn’t say anything. He skillfully took a puff of his cigarette and then answered Jing Jiuming’s earlier question.
“If I quietly sort everything out behind her back without her knowing, it won’t matter. But after everything has been laid at her doorstep, of course, I should hand over the autonomy to her. She has the right to decide everything.”
He can’t restrict his wife’s freedom and development in the name of over-protectiveness. It wouldn’t be good for her, but rather harmful.
“So, are you feeling better now?” Jing Jiuming dares to ask.
Huo Beijiang’s sharp gaze swept over him, and he spoke grumpily, “What else? If I felt better, would I be out here smoking?” If he stayed inside any longer, he might have torn that entire family apart in minutes.
“Did you come out because you realized that your wife is quite powerful and that she could hold her own even if she were alone?”
