However, he, who was used to adding insult to injury, said to Fang Zikai, âYour arm is like a pearl.â The smile on Fang Zikaiâs face immediately disappeared.
On the day of the one-month banquet, Dongli Ao came.
Dongli Ao was considered Beauty Wuâs only relative. He did not come empty-handed. He had prepared a gift for the small pearl. It was a pure gold bracelet. Dongli Ao personally put it on Wu Baozhu and sized her up carefully before saying, âIt looks quite good.â
Beauty Wu looked at Dongli Ao with mixed feelings.
She was both Dongli Aoâs cousin and the person who exposed Dongli Shenghuaâs crimes. To Dongli Ao, she was considered his enemy who had killed his father. When Dongli Shenghua had just been shot to death, Dongli Ao especially disliked Beauty Wu. Time and growth had taught Dongli Ao what justice was and what wrong was.
The current him had already forgiven Beauty Wu, but he did not treat her well either. Dongli Ao glanced at Beauty Wu and snorted. He said, âDidnât they say that you would gain weight after giving birth?â The childâs cold eyes swept across Beauty Wuâs thin face. âLook at you. Youâre so ugly after losing weight.â
Beauty Wu could sense the awkward concern in the childâs fierce words.
Clearly, Dongli Ao had also heard that Beauty Wu had given birth prematurely and bled profusely, narrowly escaping death. He missed her, but he could not bring himself to visit her. Today, he even deliberately said such harsh words of concern. He was so arrogant. It was unknown who he took after.
Beauty Wu had gone to the gates of hell and bled half her body. Although she had eaten a lot during her confinement, she was still a little thin.
Dongli Aoâs words were true. Beauty Wu smiled and said, âItâs tiring to take care of a child. Itâs normal to lose weight.â Seeing that Dongli Ao was staring at his sister in his arms, she smiled and asked him, âDo you want to hug your little niece?â
Dongli Ao said, âWho would want to?â
...
Although he said that he did not want a hug, Dongli Aoâs body was very honest. He had already stretched out his hands. Beauty Wu carefully handed her daughter to Dongli Ao. Dongli Ao hugged the child and did not dare to change his actions. His actions were very stiff, especially like a eunuch holding an imperial edict.
Fang Zikai and Fang Zicheng were secretly learning from each other. In a few months, they would have a sister to hug.
Under Qiao Jiushengâs brainwashing mode, the Fang family tacitly agreed that the baby in Qiao Jiushengâs stomach was a sister.
Seeing that Dongli Ao was carrying the child so stiffly, Fang Zikai and Fang Zicheng looked at each other and saw some heaviness in each otherâs eyes. Fang Zikai said, âI might not carry the child.â
Nodding, Fang Zicheng said, âI donât know either.â
The hotel Wei Shuyi chose for his daughterâs one-month celebration was a restaurant with a good reputation in Binjiang City. Business was usually very good, and they had to make an appointment a month in advance. The price was also a little expensive. The Empire Hotelâs expenses were too high, and it was not something ordinary people could afford. Therefore, many families with good family conditions would book seats here.
After Fang Yusheng finished his meal, he went to the toilet and bumped into a familiar person.
At that time, Fang Yusheng was washing his hands.
When he washed his hands, his actions were also very beautiful. Jiang Wei walked out of the toilet and stared at Fang Yushengâs back. He felt that this person was a little familiar. He called out uncertainly, âBrother Yusheng?â Jiang Wei was here to attend his friendâs brotherâs school promotion banquet.
The person in front of him turned around. Who else could it be but Fang Yusheng?
Jiang Wei was a man. Every time he saw Fang Yusheng, he would think, âDamn, this person is really damn good-looking.â
He could not help but think of Fang Yuqing.
She remembered that last time, Fang Yusheng had said that her Brother Yusheng was the best-looking person. Other than that, Fang Yuâan was the second best-looking person, and Jiang Wei could only be ranked third. In Fang Yuqingâs heart, Jiang Wei was unwilling to accept that Fang Yuâan could be ranked second. However, Fang Yusheng being ranked first was a fact that Jiang Wei agreed with.
Fang Yusheng was quite surprised.
âXiao Wei, what a coincidence.â He walked to the dryer to dry his hands. It would take a few minutes. Jiang Wei went to wash his hands, and Fang Yusheng blew on his hands as he spoke to him. He stared at Jiang Weiâs side profile that had matured a lot and asked curiously, âWhat are you doing here?â
âMy brotherâs brother has been accepted by Cambridge University. Theyâre holding a school promotion banquet today.â
Every July and August, there would be a big school promotion banquet.
Fang Yusheng nodded.
Jiang Wei washed his hands and wiped them with a few pieces of paper. Before he was done, he seemed to have unintentionally remembered and said, âYuqing has graduated too, right?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fang Yusheng nodded.
âI graduated. Iâll be back the day after tomorrow.â
Jiang Wei stopped wiping his hands.
âIs that so?â
âWhy are you asking her?â Fang Yusheng had already seen through Jiang Weiâs thoughts. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Weiyi. He said to her in an experienced tone, âIf you like her, go after her. Donât beat around the bush with me. Itâs useless.â
Jiang Wei was embarrassed.
He gritted his teeth and said, âWho likes her!â
âOh, so I misunderstood.â Fang Yusheng pretended to leave. Before he walked out of the washroom, he turned around and looked at Jiang Wei. He said, âDo you know that grandson of the Lu family?â
âWhich Lu family?â There were many people with the surname Lu in Binjiang City, but there was only one family with a big business. Jiang Wei thought of something and said someoneâs name calmly, âLu Lingyu?â
âYeah.â
âWhat happened to him?â
Fang Yusheng said, âYou must have heard about what happened a while ago. This Lu Lingyuâs reputation is ruined because he slept with a gay. Our Qingqing doesnât have a good reputation in Binjiang City either. I think Aunt Xu and Lu Lingyuâs mother have been interacting a lot recently.â
Fang Yusheng stared at Jiang Wei and said calmly, âPerhaps Lu Lingyu will become my brother-in-law soon.â
Jiang Weiâs expression darkened and he did not speak.
âBack then, you almost became my brother-in-law. Unfortunately, you guys were actually playing around.â Fang Yusheng patted Jiang Weiâs shoulder and said in a regretful tone, âActually, youâre not bad either. What a pity.â Shaking his head, Fang Yusheng turned around and left.
Fang Yusheng turned around and could not help but smile.
Damn tsundere!
â¦
On the other end, when Jiang Wei returned to the banquet hall, his friends realized that his expression was a little ugly.
âWhatâs wrong?â A familiar brother walked over and leaned close to Jiang Wei. He asked him, âWhy do you look like you met the enemy who killed your father after going to the toilet? Tell me, who did you meet in the toilet?â
Jiang Wei did not explain.
After lunch, Jiang Wei drove away. When he passed by Binjiang No.1 Middle School, Jiang Wei slowed down the car. He stared at the school gate of No.1 Middle School and narrowed his eyes. His gaze was a little fierce. Clearly, he was the one who accompanied her when she was at her lowest point. He was the one who endured the storm with her. Why was it that he was not the one who benefited from it now!
Lu Lingyuâ¦
What was that dog trying to do!
