Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 1438 - 1457: Escape Together

The worst part is, Nan Fei didn’t even bring her along. And she forced her to promise not to follow.

He Shasha’s heart was filled with countless desires to go back on her words, but she had sworn never to deceive Nan Fei in this lifetime. Therefore, she could only watch helplessly as Nan Fei left, and felt jealous that Gu Qiu had the opportunity to help Nan Fei.

Despicable!

So despicable!

He Shasha clenched her fists, growing more jealous of Gu Qiu as she watched her.

Gu Qiu sat shivering in her seat. Why did everyone’s gazes seem so dangerous? It was terrifying.

"Really? You want to leave? I’m asking you, where do you think you’re going?" Chen Cuihua asked.

"Just finding some remote village to hide, that’s all," Gu Qiu had some experience in hiding, "Don’t worry, there’s no way Zuo Xinyao will find me."

"What about Yu Fengji?" Nan Fei remembered that Yu Fengji was quite good at tracking people down.

"My cousin?" Gu Qiu tilted her head to think for a moment, then shook her head, "He didn’t come looking for me the last time I left Imperial City, he definitely won’t this time either." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"I’m not so sure, the nature of your leaving Imperial City last time is different from this time. This time he’s been betrayed by you, and Huo Beijiang will come back to fight him because of it. He will come looking for you."

Gu Qiu became even more frightened, "Then... it should be fine, right? It’s not easy to find someone in such a big country."

He Shasha couldn’t listen anymore, slamming the table, "All of you, causing trouble and stirring up a mess just to turn around and run away, isn’t that too unscrupulous?"

The three of them simultaneously looked towards He Shasha, with looks of surprise and unfamiliarity, as if saying that such responsible words actually came from He Shasha was incredible.

Did they hear wrong?

"Cough cough..." He Shasha’s face reddened under their gazes. In fact, she not only didn’t find it unscrupulous, but she strongly agreed—those bastards were all in it together to deceive them and hide it from Nan Fei. All of them deserved it.

"Erm... I mean, you guys aren’t being low-key. Anyway, you’ve already offended everyone, used whatever you could, sending Nan Fei away alone or with another makes no difference. Take me with you!"

"Don’t even think about it." Nan Fei directly refused.

"Nan Fei, let me go with you! I have better skills than you, I can protect you."

"No, Shasha, don’t forget what you promised me." Nan Fei could compromise on anything but not this. She couldn’t drag Shasha down.

He Shasha desperately looked at Chen Cuihua for help.

Chen Cuihua hesitated and struggled, finally shaking her head decisively. She did care more about Nan Fei and truly wanted another person to protect her, but He Shasha was too young, it wasn’t suitable.

She shouldn’t be dragged down with this.

"Hm!" He Shasha coldly huffed in frustration.

"Alright then!" Chen Cuihua slammed the table, and once everyone turned to look at her, she spoke seriously, "Gu Qiu, since you want to lay low, why not go abroad! It’s a good opportunity for you to further your studies overseas and get exposed to international trends."

She had already planned for this, but hadn’t mentioned it before because Gu Qiu’s son was still very young, and she feared that Gu Qiu wouldn’t want to leave him. Now that it has come to this, she should go study for a year or half, and let things cool down before she returns.

Nan Fei was speechless.

Why does the idea of laying low sound a bit off?

The four exchanged glances and burst out laughing together. The atmosphere in the private room, which had been heavy and tense, became relaxed again.
