Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 63: Still Feeling Sorry for His Wife

"I'll open the door."

Mrs. Fu walked over but didn't open the door immediately. She simply asked, "Who is it?"

She felt like a frightened bird, fearing that the people who came were there to harm her daughter.

After all, it was her daughter who called the police.

Who knows how many of those human traffickers have escaped being caught?

If they found out it was her daughter who called the police, wouldn't they kill her?

Yesterday, she even went to the police station in secret, asking the officers not to bring up her daughter's police report.

Even if the police officer said there would be a reward.

She didn't want it either.

She only has one daughter and no grand ambitions—she just wants her daughter to be safe and sound.

Now, she gets a little scared when someone knocks on the door.

I was terrified that some bad guy had come.

The knocking stopped. "—Mom, it's me, Qin Wenhuo."

Upon hearing her son-in-law's voice, Qin's mother immediately opened the door with a joyful expression.

When she saw her son-in-law in military uniform, her face lit up with a huge smile.

"Qin Wenhuo, what brings you here? No, you've come at the perfect time! Come in quickly."

Qin Wenhuo's gaze fell on his mother-in-law's face, and he felt that she seemed to be overly enthusiastic this time.

I stepped into the courtyard.

"Son-in-law, how did you get here so quickly?"

She thought she would come in a few more days! At the earliest, it would be closer to the end of the year.

In fact, Qin Wenhuo originally planned to come closer to the end of the year.

However—he was a little worried, so he came ahead of time.

"Is everything alright at home?" His gaze fell on the person who came out of the main room, and his eyes paused for a moment—the girl's face was simply too dazzling.

She's only been gone a few days, but she looks even more beautiful now.
Her eyebrows and eyes were exceptionally delicate, and her skin was so white it seemed to glow. Just standing there, she looked like a ball of light.

He didn't even notice—in the past, no matter how beautiful a girl was, he had never paid attention to her appearance.

Not to mention staring at that girl like that.

No, this doesn't belong to anyone else; it belongs to his family.

The three words "his family" popped into Qin Wenhuo's mind.

Fu Mingxue: ...?
Why are you staring at her like that?
Where is your manners?

“Son-in-law, you know what, something bad almost happened—” As soon as Fu’s mother said this, Qin Wenhuo’s attention was instantly drawn back from Fu Mingxue.

His tone held a tension he himself didn't realize, "What's wrong?"

Qin's mother then revealed what Bai Siqi and her daughter had done—
He could hear the cold air emanating from Qin Wenhuo.

His thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes were as cold as ice—the air pressure was frighteningly low.

Even Madam Fu sensed it.

Thinking he was angry and worried, she quickly said, "Luckily, our Mingxue is blessed and managed to escape danger. Everything is alright now—"

But Qin Wenhuo's brows did not relax at all; on the contrary, they became even tighter.

Until he lost all patience, he spoke coldly, "She knew that man had impure intentions, yet she still dared to go with him? What if those people discovered her? Would she still be able to escape?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Fu immediately shut up, her eyes widening – that's right! What if they found out?

Those who traffic people are not the kind of people who are soft-hearted.

Isn't this just the right product delivered to our door?
"You brat, you can't be so reckless in the future, you know?"

Fu Mingxue was taken aback—how come she was being scolded again even though the matter was over?
Qin Wenhuo glanced at her and spoke again: "Mom is right, this was indeed reckless, but she was still very clever and didn't continue to follow, but called the police early on."

Fu Mingxue: ...?
You've said both the good and the bad.

Anyway, she received every single scolding she was given.
