Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law

Chapter 86: Chapter 086: Finding a Real Mother_1

“Mum, don’t be upset anymore! The more upset you are, the happier she’ll be.”

“You’re right! I shouldn’t be upset, I can’t be upset with someone so ill-mannered.” saying this she inhales deeply a few times, trying to calm her frustration, but it didn’t seem to work.

“Mom! Where has dad gone?” Huo Jinlan blinking rapidly, with her head down and hands nervously clutching at her sides, is trying to hide her anxious demeanor.

Yuan Xueshan noticed this and tried to console her, “Don’t worry, your dad has gone to visit some friends!”

“Oh!”

“Don’t be scared, Jinlan!” The more Yuan Xueshan saw her daughter like this, the more it hurt her heart. Unable to bear it, she pulled her into a comforting embrace. “Don’t worry, Jiang Nanfei’s ugly side will one day be exposed to your Brother and Grandmother. We’ll wait for that day.”

Huo Jinlan buried her face into Yuan Xueshan’s shoulder, hiding a sinister smile that tugged at the corner of her mouth. In a worried tone, she said, “But currently Grandma and Brother are being deceived by her! We should call Brother and explain everything beforehand. Otherwise, when Brother comes back, he might again be misled.”

“You’re right!” Yuan Xueshan swiftly slapped her thigh, “I’ll call your Brother right away.”

“I, too, want to talk to Brother.” Huo Jinlan’s face turned red with excitement.

“You!” Yuan Xueshan lightly tapped her forehead, doting on her, “I don’t know what to say about you! It hurts me to think about it. It’s not easy!”

“Mama.” With her lips quivering and a pitiful look in her eyes, Huo Jinlan said, “It’s okay! I’m doing all of this willingly, I… I can’t help myself.”

“I know, Mama has been young once too.”

In a major port, super tankers, giant cargo ships, luxurious cruiseships are all readying for a long voyage. Hundreds of employees dressed in uniforms embroidered with ‘Transocean’ badge. These four words alone are enough to attracts attention. Anyone in cargo, maritime, or ship affairs industry would know about the Transocean Company.

Since the economic reforms in the 80s, Transocean Shipping Group was the first to take the plunge. In just over a decade, it had developed into an industrial tycoon, with its boss, Tu Cheng, being the undisputed Shipping King.

Particularly in the mid-90s, with the rapidly growing domestic economy and more people doing business overseas, Transocean Shipping Group had also made its mark internationally. It has multiple ventures like cruiseships, cargo ships, high sea fishing vessels, etc.

This World Shipping Kings meeting is anything but ordinary. Anyone who thought it’s just for shipping kings to meet and exchange boasting about their capabilities, would be wrong.

The World Shipping King meeting is deeply significant.

“Captain, don’t look so cold! It is really frightening.” Lu Jin walked from the back of the team to the front, displaying his handsome face and laughing heartily.

The other eight people were looking straight ahead, and if carefully observed, one could see their lips twitch slightly.

There has been a long-standing joke among the Snow Eagles, claiming Lu Jin was Huo Beijiang’s real son, why else would he be given such special treatment?

With Huo Beijiang’s personality, which doesn’t discriminate against anyone, why was Lu Jin the exception?

Tu Lou once remarked that this was a case of favoring one palace maid over the rest of the six, with Lu Jin being the favored one.

But the boss Tu Cheng, said it’s not about favorites, the kind treatment Lu Jin received is only given to a Crown Prince.

Since then, rumors of him being the real son started circulating.

“Little Deer, what do you think we should do when we get back?” Huo Bei Jiang called out Lu Jin’s nickname, his deep, dark eyes half-closed, gazing far towards the endless sea.

“Go back?” Lu Jin was startled, “Boss, you’re not feeling feverish, are you? There are so many people who would give anything for the chance to attend this World Shipping Kings meeting, and you want to go back?” Even if the boss was the founder of Transocean, he couldn’t be this capricious, could he? Tu Lou missed this opportunity and was said to be in quite a mood!

“Hmmm!” An irritated expression flashed on Huo Bei Jiang’s handsome face. His chiseled features now conveyed a roguish and somewhat wicked air.

“It’s time to board.”
