âHm?â
âSecond Brother is not Dadâs biological son. He was originally the child of Dadâs close friend, but after that friend died, Dad adopted him. His surname is not Fang either. His surname is Chi, and his name is Chi Baoguang.â Fang Ping inevitably thought of that person and said, âAmong us siblings, Second Brotherâs skin is the best, and heâs the smartest.â
âEver since he was young, his science results have been top-notch, but he lacks in the socializing aspect. His IQ is very high, but his EQâ¦â Fang Ping smiled and joked,â God is indeed fair. He gave him good looks and a high IQ, but low emotional intelligence.â
Although Fang Pingjun was smiling, Fang Yusheng could sense nostalgia and regret in his smile.
Fang Yusheng remained silent and listened to Fang Pingjun reminisce about the past.
âThe second son is only a few months older than the third son. His results are really outstanding. When he was in his first year of high school, he was accepted by the Biomedical Institute of Technology at the University of Cambridge.â Fang Pingjun thought of the glorious scene at that time and felt honored. âSpeaking of which, your mother, Lisa, was also a student at that university, but she studied at the Institute of Physics.â
Fang Pingjun shrugged and said, âIâm just lacking a little. I went to a business school in the country. Your father is quite good. He went to the London Business School.â
Fang Yusheng then asked, âThen⦠how did that uncle die?â
âSigh, itâs a pity. He was in research and development at that time. After he was done, he planned to take some time to go to Australia to play. In the endâ¦â Fang Pingâs eyes darkened. He smacked his lips and said,â He took a cruise to sea to play, but he stayed in the sea forever.â
Fang Yusheng felt upset too.
A proud son of heaven actually had this outcomeâ¦
âNo wonder Grandpa and the rest never mentioned this uncle.â
âYes, he was Dadâs greatest pride. The treasure he held in his hand fell just like that. Dad spent the past two years in a daze. Thatâs why your grandfather liked you so much. Thereâs something similar to your uncle in you. Youâre both smart and filial.â
Fang Yusheng shook his head and laughed.
He was only filial to his grandfather.
âYour father was so devoted to your mother back then. It could be said that it was like he was afraid of something melting when it was in his mouth or afraid of dropping something when he held it in his hand. Your father proposed to your mother, and your mother agreed. Your father even shed tears of excitement. At that time, we all thought that they would grow old together. Who knew that after they got married, they insteadâ¦â
He looked regretful and could not say anything.
âI know. My father has always suspected that you and my mother gave birth to me. Uncle, at that time, you and my motherâ¦â Before Fang Yusheng could finish speaking, he saw Fang Pingjun stand up excitedly.
âAm I that kind of person?â His tone was extremely anxious. He said loudly, âThatâs right, I do admire Sister-in-law Lisa as a goddess, but what is a goddess? She can only be seen from afar and not played with! In my opinion, your father is crazy and petty! I have no objections if he suspects me, but how can he suspect Sister-in-law Lisa!â
âHe deserves Sister-in-law not wanting him anymore! Heâs causing trouble for himself. He deserves to be divorced!â
Fang Yusheng wisely shut his mouth.
After Fang Pingjun finished scolding him angrily and shut up, Fang Yusheng raised the question in his heart. âSince you didnât⦠have an ambiguous relationship with my mother, why did he suspect that you and my mother gave birth to me?â Something must have happened.
Fang Ping was also puzzled. âI was still puzzled, so of course, when I found out that your father actually suspected that Lisa and I were having an affair, I was more confused than anyone.â
Fang Yusheng knew that this was the best Fang Pingjun could answer his question, he could only give up.
After Fang Yusheng left, Fang Pingjun fell into deep thought.
Since he had already cheated on her and divorced her, why did Fang Pingjue still keep Lisaâs photos?
Fang Yusheng left the Fang Corporation and drove the car into the city. On a bustling commercial street, he parked the car in front of an antique jade shop called âOne Day of Joyâ. The entrance to the jade shop was very small. After entering the shop, he made many turns before entering the shop.
The shop was completely different inside.
Every jade artifact was hung on a jade rack made of red acid branches.
Every finished product was extremely exquisite. Under the faint light, it emitted a lustrous and charming glow.
This jade shop had a total of three floors. On the first floor, there were small jade pieces, on the second floor, there were large jade carvings, and on the third floor, there was a special jade carving exhibition area. The jade carvings on the third floor were not sold. Whether they were given to a fated person or exchanged for items depended on the ownerâs mood.
Fang Yusheng went to the third floor and saw Qiao Jiusheng, who was lying on a bamboo chair beside a fake mountain and taking a nap.
She was wearing a red Han Chinese gown with a plum blossom embroidered on it. Her hair was draped casually, and her small face was exquisite. She really looked like a beautiful woman who had walked out of an ancient painting. Fang Yusheng was a little surprised. This was the first time he saw Qiao Jiusheng in a Han Chinese gown.
Fang Yusheng lowered his head and was about to kiss her when his tightly shut brown eyes suddenly opened.
âWhat are you doing?â
Qiao Jiusheng looked at Fang Yusheng expressionlessly. Her amber eyes were clear, and she did not look like someone who was sleeping.
Fang Yushengâs face was reflected in her beautiful eyes, looking a little funny.
He touched his nose and said awkwardly, âI was just looking. There seems to be a blackhead on your noseâ¦â
âBullsh*t!â Qiao Jiusheng said. âAre ten thousand yuan skincare products just for fun?â Qiao Jiusheng did not believe his nonsense. Just as Fang Yusheng was about to stand up and retreat, Qiao Jiusheng suddenly grabbed the back of his head, raised her upper body, and took the initiative to kiss him.
Fang Yusheng was stunned for a moment before hugging her waist and deepening the kiss.
Later on, the consultant in the shop came upstairs to ask questions. Only then did the two shameless people separate.
When Qiao Jiusheng finished talking to the consultant and returned, Fang Yusheng said to her, âYou look pretty good in this.â
Qiao Jiusheng stood in front of Fang Yusheng and spun around to show him before saying, âI found a shopkeeper to customize the shop Sister Beauty introduced to me. Heh, I think itâs especially suitable to wear Chinese clothes in a jade shop. Those who came to buy goods might have bought them when they saw such a beautiful me.â
Fang Yusheng loved her shamelessness.
His gaze lingered on Qiao Jiushengâs slender waist.
He imagined the scene of him peeling her clothes off and his imagination ran wild. He was a little tempted.
Fang Yusheng quickly stopped his fantasy and said, âGuess what I saw today?â
Qiao Jiusheng fiddled with the jade parts as she spoke to him.
âWhat?â
Fang Yusheng told Qiao Jiusheng what he had seen at Fang Pingjueâs house and what he had heard from Fang Pingjun. After Qiao Jiusheng heard this, she only noticed one thing. âYou said that you have an uncle who is especially good-looking and smart. He studied in the same school as your mother?â
âYes.â
Qiao Jiushengâs gaze shifted.
There was an idea in her mind, but she did not dare to say it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She was afraid that she would be beaten up by Fang Yusheng and her mother-in-law would come out of Hell to scare her in the middle of the night.
However, just because she did not say it did not mean that Fang Yusheng could not detect something amiss. âWhatâs with that gaze of yours?â Fang Yushengâs expression was a little gloomy. He didnât really like someone making guesses about his mother like that, even if it was Qiao Jiusheng.
Qiao Jiusheng quickly shook her head and held the jade piece in her hand, pretending to admire it.
At night, they went to pick up the two children and were asked to stay for dinner by Xu Pingfei.
After the meal, the two of them returned home and surprisingly found that Qi Bufan had brought Dai Chukong home. Qi Bufan was no longer Fang Yushengâs assistant.. Now, he was a guestat the Fang family.
