Chapter 294: The Person I Love Is Fang Mu
The man who had made him blind and almost gotten him killed was now living happily ever after. He and his wife were loving and happy, and they were about to become parents. But what about him, Fang Yusheng? He was still blind. Without Qi Bufan and the cane, Fang Yusheng was a blind man who could not even walk out of a small building.
Fang Mu!
Fang Yusheng wanted to kill him!
Soon after, he heard that the Second Young Madam was pregnant with twins.
Twins…
This news made Fang Yusheng even gloomier.
He threw a rare tantrum at home.
When Fang Yusheng was quiet, he looked harmless. When he was ruthless, no one dared to approach him. Qi Bufan and Aunt Jin watched him smash things from afar, not daring to make a sound.
The days seemed to be getting harder.
Fang Yusheng realized that other than revenge, he had no other goal in life.
He only lived for revenge. How sad was that?
These days had finally changed.
The change was on the day of Thanksgiving.
That day, the people from the Qiao family from Junyang City visited the Fang family. The Qiao family had a big jewelry business. Fang Pingjue attached great importance to their arrival. At night, all the members of the Fang family were present at the building, including Fang Yusheng. During the meal, the old master of the Qiao family was in a daze. He kept calling out the name of the Qiao family’s eldest daughter when addressing the Second Young Mistress.
Everyone thought that the old man was muddle-headed, even Fang Yusheng.
The food prepared by the chef of the main building was exquisite, but Fang Yusheng was not used to it. Everyone in the Fang family knew that his stomach had been injured in his early years; a portion of it was removed. He could not eat anything overly greasy. However, the food in the main building was always expensive, and delicious…
Qi Bufan picked up two chopsticks of vegetables for Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng slowly and expressionlessly chewed on them. Suddenly, he heard Old Master Qiao shout, “Third Girl, come to me with your man. I have something for you.”
Fang Yusheng raised his brows.
Third Dog?
That’s the nickname of the second daughter of the Qiao family?
The Second Young Mistress sweetly said to her grandfather, “Grandfather, don’t always call me Third Dog. I’m already so old.”
“Hey, Third Dog knows how to be shy!” Old Master Qiao tilted his head and smiled. Then he thought of something and said, “You’re not Third Dog. My Third Dog has never been shy!” He got confused again and asked, “Are you Third Dog or Second Black?”
The Second Young Mistress persuaded the Old Master. “Grandpa, I’m Xiao Sheng. Sister has already left…”
The old man seemed to have accepted this fact. After a moment, he said, “Jingren always called you Third Girl but I think Third Dog is better. It sounds familiar. Your mother didn’t know anything else, but the nicknames she gave you three siblings sounded nice.”
Upon hearing this, everyone softly sighed. Some people said that the old man’s dementia was getting worse and worse. He couldn’t even tell his own granddaughters apart.
Fang Yusheng’s expression froze.
Third Girl…
During the banquet, Old Master Qiao gave the Second Young Mistress and Fang Mu a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants. It seemed that the jade pendants were exquisite.
When the Old Master passed the jade pendant to the Second Young Mistress and Fang Mu, he got confused again. He said, “There were originally two Dragon Phoenix Jade Pendants. One for you and one for your sister, Xiao Sheng. It’s a pity that she’s not around anymore…”
After that, Fang Yusheng was no longer in the mood to eat.
When he left the main building, his expression was not calm. Qi Bufan had followed him for a long time and had learned how to read people’s expressions. When he saw that Fang Yusheng seemed to be thinking about something, he asked, “Sir, what are you thinking about?”
Fang Yusheng suddenly said, “Go and check if Second Young Mistress went to Meng Hai when she was 13 years old.”
“Meng Hai from Taiwan?”
“Yeah.”
Qi Bufan suddenly thought of something and said, “It’s not surprising that she has been to Meng Hai. Second Young Mistress’s mother was the ambassador of that country. However, she passed away.”
Fang Yusheng stopped breathing.
“You’re saying that Second Young Madam’s mother was the ambassador of that nation?”
Qi Bufan nodded.
Fang Yusheng’s expression became filled with shock and complicated emotions.
He recalled that ten years ago, when he had asked that little girl for her name, she had looked around and refused to tell him. She only said that her nickname was “Third Girl” and that her parents had warned her not to casually reveal her name outside.
If…
If “Third Girl” was really the second daughter of the Qiao family, then it would explain why she had refused to tell him her name. As the daughter of that country’s ambassador, if she casually revealed her name to a stranger and met a bad person, then she would be used as blackmail!
When Fang Yusheng thought of this, his heart started beating uncontrollably.
“Bufan, go investigate!”
Seeing Fang Yusheng’s serious expression, Qi Bufan did not dare to underestimate this matter and immediately went to investigate.
The next day, Qi Bufan brought news.
He said, “When Second Young Mistress was 13 years old, she did go to Meng Hai. However, after she came back, she lost her mind for an unknown reason. For the next two years, Second Young Mistress saw doctors until she was 15 years old.”
Fang Yusheng broke the teacup in his hand.
I finally found her!
As promised, she had come to Binjiang City to study at the university. However, she did not marry him but his second brother!
The boiling hot tea drenched Fang Yusheng’s pants and the exposed back of his slippers, but Fang Yusheng acted as if he didn’t feel anything.
The person he loved had become someone else’s wife. This was truly…
Fang Yusheng locked himself in the collection room for three whole days. During those three days, he didn’t eat or drink, which scared Aunt Jin and Qi Bufan.
Three days later, Fang Yusheng finally opened the door and walked out. The green stubble on his chin made him look sloppy. His long brown hair was also messy. Aunt Jin and Qi Bufan stared at him as if they had seen a devil.
Fang Yusheng said, “Aunt Jin, please help me get some hot water.”
“I… okay.”
He then said to Qi Bufan, “Bufan, shave my hair and beard.”
Qi Bufan’s first thought was…
Young Master is going to become a monk!
Qi Bufan did as he was told and shaved Fang Yusheng’s hair and beard. Fang Yusheng changed into a clean set of clothes and had lunch. Then, he asked Qi Bufan to drive him to Fang Mu’s house. Qi Bufan was shocked. “To Second Young Master’s house?”
“Yeah.”
“To do what?”
“Something.”
Fang Yusheng did not want to go into the details, so Qi Bufan did not ask further.
As he drove, he prayed that Sir would not fight Second Master.
Fang Mu was at work during the day.
Only the Second Young Mistress was at home. She was pregnant, and her morning sickness had been quite severe recently. Fang Yusheng entered the Fang family under Qi Bufan’s lead.
Qiao Jiuyin was very surprised to hear that the First Young Master of the Fang family was here. She got up and went downstairs to welcome him. As soon as she came down, she heard Fang Yusheng say, “Everyone, get out.” His words were directed at the servants of the Fang family.
The servants looked at Qiao Jiuyin, who had come downstairs, and hesitated whether they should go out or not.
Qiao Jiuyin’s eyes flashed. She called him Big Brother and asked him, “Why do you want to chase them away?”
Fang Yusheng said, “I have something to ask you.”
When Qiao Jiuyin saw his solemn expression, she thought that he had found something to use against her. Feeling guilty, she let the servants go out. Qi Bufan stood behind Fang Yusheng and heard him say, “Bufan, you go out too.”
Although Qi Bufan was surprised, he still went out obediently.
Only Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiuyin were left in the room.
Qiao Jiuyin looked at Fang Yusheng. Even if this person was not as tall as Fang Mu and did not look scary, Qiao Jiuyin was still afraid of him.
Qiao Jiuyin tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart and asked him, “Big Brother, what do you want to ask me?”
Fang Yusheng pursed his lips and said, “You called me Big Brother?”
Qiao Jiuyin was stunned.
If I shouldn’t call him big brother, then what should I?
Fang Yusheng continued, “You used to call me Brother Yusheng.”
Qiao Jiuyin’s expression changed.
In the past?
I’m using Qiao Jiusheng’s identity now. Does that mean that Qiao Jiusheng used to know the eldest son of the Fang family?
Qiao Jiuyin could not answer as she could not figure out the exact situation.
Fang Yusheng saw that she was silent and thought that she was running away from the question. He could not help but feel angry and growled at her, “You told me to wait for you in Binjiang City. I waited for you to come and find me. I waited for you to marry me! How could you forget!”
Qiao Jiuyin was a little dazed as she listened to his painful and sorrowful roar.
Did Xiao Sheng make such a promise to Fang Yusheng?
Qiao Jiuyin’s continuous silence made Fang Yusheng’s anger rise to the highest point. He questioned her all at once, “Are you lying to me! You’ve been lying to me from the start, right? You made me wait for you. Fine, I waited for you obediently. I waited for ten years!
“Ten years! I’ve never touched a woman in these ten years because of you! I’ve often wondered why you didn’t come to find me. Did you forget me or did something happen to you?
“I thought you were dead! Qiao Jiusheng, I thought you died in that war!
“I was just short of setting up a spirit tablet for you!”
Fang Yusheng got so emotional that his entire body trembled. He opened his eyes, which were devoid of any light. They were red, and he could even feel hot tears flowing down his cheeks.
Fang Yusheng had not cried in many years.
How laughable! My ten years of waiting was actually a joke!
She did not take me seriously at all.
She knew how to flirt at such a young age. Why didn’t I think that she was a little liar?
Fang Yusheng’s loss of control, his temper, and his questioning, Qiao Jiuyin saw all of it.
Ten years…
In that case, Xiao Sheng and Fang Yusheng had known each other since ten years ago?
Qiao Jiuyin knew that Fang Yusheng could not see, so there was no need for her to suppress her emotions. She sneered. When she opened her mouth to speak, her tone was filled with grievance and hurt. “Big Brother, what are you saying? Is there a misunderstanding between us?”
She called him Big Brother because she wanted to mess with his heart!
Fang Yusheng held onto his cane and stood at the intersection between the living room and the entrance. He was on the verge of collapsing.
Qiao Jiuyin’s smile widened, and her tone became even more pitiful. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t remember some things from ten years ago.” In any case, she had imprisoned Qiao Jiusheng, so she could fabricate whatever she wanted. Thus, she continued, “For two years, I was sick and kept seeing a psychiatrist. There were many things that I forgot.”
Fang Yusheng was confused.
“Forgotten?” He felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. Perhaps, she did not come to look for me but had forgotten about me because she got sick and lost her memory!
This possibility made Fang Yusheng feel like he had risen from the ashes.
He quickly asked, “What happened?”
Qiao Jiuyin said, “When I came back from Meng Hai, I would always scream in the middle of the night. My mental state was also abnormal. To treat me, Big Brother sent me to a psychiatrist. After that, I recovered, but I don’t remember many things.” Qiao Jiuyin was simply spouting nonsense. She knew that Xiao Sheng had indeed lost her mind in those two years and had even stopped going to school.
Big Brother said that Xiao Sheng had been under too much pressure, which made her lose her mind.
Qiao Jiuyin was unafraid that Fang Yusheng would not believe her. Even if he wanted to investigate, he would be able to find out about it.
The doubt in Fang Yusheng’s heart was dispelled. He somewhat accepted this fact.
“Does that mean you didn’t mean to forget me?”
Qiao Jiuyin continued, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Even if we used to know each other, I don’t remember you now.” Qiao Jiuyin walked up to Fang Yusheng, smiled, and said coldly, “No matter what happened in the past, the person I love now is Fang Mu.”
Just then, Fang Mu came home.
He happened to hear Qiao Jiuyin say that the person she loved was Fang Mu.
He stood in the doorway, not entering.
Fang Yusheng’s face turned pale. He was originally pale, but now, he was paper-white. He was like a porcelain doll that could be shattered with a light touch. At that moment, Qiao Jiuyin also thought that Fang Yusheng was a porcelain doll that could be easily broken by others.
It was because she had underestimated her opponent at this moment that she had died a miserable death later on.
“You said that the person you love is Fang Mu?” Fang Yusheng muttered to himself.
When Qiao Jiuyin heard that, she nodded and said, “Yes, I love him.”
Seeing that Fang Yusheng’s face had become as pale as a dead person’s, Qiao Jiuyin felt a sense of joy. Fang Mu had always hated this brother of his, because he had always looked down on him. Qiao Jiuyin felt very happy to be able to make Fang Yusheng feel uncomfortable, and she felt a sense of satisfaction from standing up for Fang Mu.
