Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 2015 - 2033: The Most Scheming Dad (Part 3)

"Mom, I’m done washing."

"Come here, I’ll help you dry your hair."

"Thank you, Mom."

Huo Beijiang was downstairs washing dishes dutifully. After he was done, he went upstairs only to be chased out of the bedroom by his wife. Now, he was standing in front of the door, knocking with a grievance. "Wife, open the door, please." He wanted to knock harder but couldn’t bring himself to do it, mainly because he was afraid of disturbing his wife.

"I’m not going to open it. You can sleep in the guest room!"

"Wifey, don’t be mad. I was wrong, isn’t that enough? I promise I’ll change."

"That’s still not enough."

Huo Beijiang knew Nan Fei’s personality inside and out. He knew that once she got to this point, it wasn’t easy to calm her down. Feeling frustrated, he went out to visit friends. He met up with Yu Fengji and Zuo Xinyao for a secret smoke session.

The three married men were quite pitiful; they always had to smoke in secret. Not only did they have to do it in secret, but they also had to blame each other if they got caught.

All three were similarly shameless. Huo Beijiang routinely mocked Yu Fengji as the most shameless and best at pretending.

No one would believe it if they heard: one’s a rising star in the military, another is a police elite, and the other a business mogul. Each one more impressive than the last—and yet, each spoils their wife more. To the extent that they have no standing at home. Compared to them, Huo Kewei seemed much more carefree, being the most famous playboy in the Imperial City, a super-rich man, and the dream lover of countless women.

In recent years, with rapid economic development, many fashion magazines have appeared domestically. News about Huo Kewei could practically support several magazines. With continuous news in both finance and gossip, whether at friend gatherings or during family dinners on holidays, Huo Kewei was always the target of everyone’s teasing.

Now, the little baby still can’t tease anyone, but... in a couple of years, his uncle should be able to teach him how.

And don’t be fooled by how Huo Beijiang bullies his son—it seems quite gleeful—but in reality, he’s completely under Nan Fei’s control.

Huo Beijiang’s life motto is that whatever his wife says is a decree.

As for his son?

A rival in love from his past life!

Mentioning his son, Huo Beijiang had mixed feelings. In his imagination, the father and son should be at odds with each other—he bullies his son, and his son hates him. But as it turned out, no matter how he bullied him, the brat was always obedient and well-behaved.

He’s seen so many stories of fathers and sons becoming enemies or simply not getting along, always bickering and having family conflicts. So why was it different for him? Worried that his son might have an intelligence problem, which is why he didn’t get angry with his dad, Huo Beijiang, after outsmarting and outmaneuvering Nan Fei, secretly took his clueless little baby to the hospital for an examination.

After the check-up, the doctor scolded him mercilessly.

The doctor, hearing the dumb dad say he suspected his son didn’t argue because of an intelligence problem, pulled such a scary face that it was frightening. After a good while, the doctor loudly said, "I think you have the intelligence problem, and a big one at that."

Somehow, this story got around to the military district, and every time Huo Beijiang went to a meeting at military headquarters, he had to endure the old commander’s teasing. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Later, the doctor told Huo Beijiang that not only did the little baby not have an intelligence problem, but he was quite smart. The reason he never got mad at him... maybe... possibly because he felt sorry for him. Felt sorry for silly dad with a supposed intelligence problem, already so clumsy, how could he, as a son, not comply with his dad’s wishes!

Great!

That reason was so strong, it nearly made Huo Beijiang want to beat up the kid right there. But then he thought, oh well, the little baby is still young! There wouldn’t be much satisfaction in hitting him now. If he were to do it, it should wait until the baby grows up. Besides, once the baby grows up, Huo won’t even need to lift a finger.

All he has to do is bring in Emil, and the baby will be miserable.

Hahaha... he must be the most cunning dad.
