Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1372 - 1391: Missing

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1391: Missing

How can one hold their head high when there’s a murderer in the family, forever to be scorned wherever they go?

"Is it you? Did you harm Zhuanzhuan, didn’t you?" Jiang Dechun pointed at Nan Fei’s nose and cursed, "You cursed child, why don’t you just go die? How did your sister ever offend you that you wanted to put her to death?"

Nan Fei sneered, her body that had just been hit and twisted slowly straightened up, standing up straight to face Jiang Dechun.

"Yes!" She said directly, "But I didn’t harm her, I exposed her."

As soon as Jiang Dechun heard her defending herself, looking for excuses, his face contorted with rage, and pointing at his nose, he cursed, "You still dare to argue, it’s plain to see you couldn’t bear to see Zhuanzhuan better off than you, it’s jealousy that made you want to harm her. You home-wrecker, do you even consider me your father in your eyes?"

Nan Fei’s gaze remained fixed on him, her bright eyes lacking hatred, and even more so, devoid of tears. She just calmly asked, "Do you have a daughter in your eyes?"

"I..." Jiang Dechun faltered, thinking of everything Nan Fei had done for the family and suddenly felt a twinge of guilt. But it was quickly replaced by the memory of Zhuanzhuan suffering in Jiang Meili’s home as a child, and any small guilt vanished, he straightened his back and scolded, "How dare you ask me that? Where do you get the gall? If I had known you were so malicious, it would have been better to strangle you at birth."

Nan Fei’s lips trembling slightly, bloodless and pale, she tried to force a smile as she always did, but her facial muscles were as if set in stone, refusing to move. She just silently watched Jiang Dechun, trying to see clearly the father she had respected and loved for two lifetimes. What she truly meant to him, what had blinded her in her previous life that she was deceived over and over?

Deceived by He Jinlan, by Qiao Jingxuan, by Zhuanzhuan, and now she must add her most respected father.

How ironic!

Should she really not exist in this world? Was even her rebirth a mistake?

Nan Fei blinked, tears sliding from her eyes, their scalding heat dissolving all pretenses of courage and strength she’d mustered. Oh, how she yearned for Bei Jiang! Yearning so deeply, longing for him to be by her side, to lend his broad shoulder for her to lean on when she cried.

To hold her tight in moments of weakness, to tease her with words that annoyed her into laughter. She adored his stubborn antics, loved his smile even more, so enchanting and warm.

If he were here, he would undoubtedly rush to her defense in anger, reassuring her not to be saddened, right?

Nan Fei felt a chill, her vision blurred and double. She couldn’t tell if it was an issue with her eyes or because of the tears.

In her previous life, Bei Jiang had taken good care of her, creating a sanctuary against the storm. She thought she was strong enough, powerful enough this life, yet she still felt sorrow. Surely Bei Jiang would ache for her if he knew, right?

He hated to see her cry; he would surely loathe it if he found out.

She mustn’t cry, nor show any weakness.

Nan Fei wiped away her tears, armoring herself tightly from her soul to her emotions, leaving no gap, sparing no chance for others to hurt her.

Those in the interrogation room couldn’t bear to listen anymore, especially the policewoman, who looked at Nan Fei with reddening eyes before glaring angrily at Jiang Dechun.
