Chapter 238: The More Exciting, the Better
Qiao Jiusheng raised her chin; her arrogant gaze carried a hint of natural charm. She was high up in the air as she narrowed her eyes and looked at the slave under her. Raising her bow, she aimed the arrow at the slave’s handsome face.
Fang Yusheng looked at her, his green eyes blending with the forest vegetation beside him. His gaze was so deep that it was burning. On a closer look, a perverse possessiveness could be seen hidden in the depths of his eyes.
This group of photos looked very interesting. Fang Yusheng let Qiao Jiusheng play, and Qiao Jiusheng was almost going crazy.
After this photo session, Qiao Jiusheng changed into a pure white fairy G.o.ddess outfit. At this moment, Fang Yusheng also took off his slave outfit and changed into the Elf King’s robe. He then sat on the vine bench, crossed his legs, and placed one hand on the armrest. His other hand was raised, and his index finger was gently pressed against the edge of his eye.
Fang Yusheng narrowed his jade-like long eyes and sideways glanced at the beauty who was leaning over his legs. Her expression was arrogant and lazy like a little lion.
Wei Xin watched from the side, feeling more and more satisfied. She touched her chin and could not help but say, “Xiao Sheng, don’t marry Fang Yusheng. Marry me.”
Suddenly, a cold gaze shot down at her from above.
Wei Xin looked up and caught Fang Yusheng’s cold gaze. She shrugged and muttered, “You can’t even joke around.” She suddenly shut her mouth and could not help but look into Fang Yusheng’s eyes.
When she lowered her head again, a hint of thought appeared in her eyes.
Fang Yusheng’s eyes…
They really don’t look like those of a blind person.
His eyes have been cured?
Fang Yusheng looked at Wei Xin in disdain and hugged Qiao Jiusheng in his arms. “Don’t even dream about her!” Whenever he touched Qiao Jiusheng, Fang Yusheng would immediately be like a porcupine and enter combat mode.
Wei Xin pursed her lips and could not be bothered with him.
Qiao Jiusheng was a little helpless. “Can’t you take pictures properly?”
Hearing this, Fang Yusheng and Wei Xin became obedient.
After the photos were taken, Fang Yusheng naturally paid for Qiao Jiusheng to treat Wei Xin to a meal. Fang Yusheng, who had always been stingy, actually invited Wei Xin to a high-end Chinese restaurant. The meal cost nearly 30,000 yuan. During the meal, Fang Yusheng kept putting food into Qiao Jiusheng’s bowl. The thoughtfulness of his actions made Wei Xin nauseous.
“Your eyes—”
Before Wei Xin could finish, Fang Yusheng interrupted her. “Fang Yusheng is blind.”
Wei Xin was stunned. She narrowed her eyes and stopped talking.
It was not that she did not care about what was happening outside. The Fang family had not been calm recently, and she had been paying attention to it.
President Fang had been bitten by a snake, and his left leg had been amputated. He had yet to be discharged by the hospital.
It was said that the Fang Corporation had been very active recently. Many of President Fang’s old and trusted subordinates had resigned, and a portion of the newbies was promoted to their positions. Many people guessed that the CEO of the Fang Corporation would soon change his name to Fang Mu. Previously, Wei Xin had thought so too, but now…
She stared at the young master in front of her who looked like he was not serious at all. She had doubts in her heart. Is Fang Yusheng really willing to just be second place forever?
During the day, Qiao Jiusheng happily played with Fang Yusheng. When she returned home at night, it was Fang Yusheng’s turn to play with her. When she was pressed onto the bed by Fang Yusheng, Qiao Jiusheng was still a little shocked. “What are you doing?” She did not believe that Fang Yusheng would do anything to her.
She was pregnant now and had been grounded from getting intimate for the first three months.
Fang Yusheng chuckled and asked her, “Do you really think that I can’t do anything to you?” Today, he did not know how many times Qiao Jiusheng had stepped on him and slapped his face. He would remember every single stroke for her.
Qiao Jiusheng also knew that she had gone overboard today.
She looked like she were facing death and said, “At most, I’ll let you step on me.” Qiao Jiusheng raised her head again and said, “Come, you can hit my face too.”
She looked fearless.
She bet that Fang Yusheng would not bear to.
Fang Yusheng really could not bear to.
After Qiao Jiusheng fell asleep, Fang Yusheng covered her with the blanket and sent the cup downstairs.
Qi Bufan had not been back for the past two days; he was probably feeling guilty. Fang Yusheng sat on the sofa with his phone and drank some warm water while texting Qi Bufan.
Fang Yusheng: “I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself.”
Qi Bufan immediately replied with a message. [Say it, Sir.]
[Release Cheng Ke’s news, the more exciting the better.]
Qi Bufan: [If I let it out, can I come back?]
Fang Yusheng: [It depends on your performance.]
Qi Bufan did not reply. He looked at the thin man curled up on the bed and nervously sleeping. His eyes flashed.
***
Fang Mu was looking around for Cheng Ke.
However, the person who took Cheng Ke away was really clean and didn’t leave any clues.
Fang Mu suspected that Fang Pingjue’s men had taken Cheng Ke away, so Fang Mu had installed a monitoring device in Fang Pingjue’s ward and also let the hackers eavesdrop on his phone. However, up until now, Fang Mu had not heard Fang Pingjue mention Cheng Ke on the phone.
He could not help but wonder if he had suspected the wrong person or if Fang Yusheng had lied to him.
During this period, Fang Mu used all sorts of reasons to persuade Fang Pingjue’s trusted aides to leave and transferred their positions. Now, almost all of the higher-ups in the Fang Corporation were his trusted aides. His mind had been tense in this period, and he did not dare to slack off at all. Finally, he chased away all the obstacles, and Fang Mu also felt a little tired.
These few days, he slept very late. Fang Mu had not had the time to go to the appointment with his friends.
Tonight, he finally got off work early. When he received Liang Qiwen’s call inviting him, Fang Mu hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
He changed out of his work clothes and wore a light summer outfit. After playing with Fang Shan for a while, he drove to the club.
Liang Qiwen was married to his true love who he had been in a relations.h.i.+p with for three years. Although the place he chose was an entertainment venue, it was not a bar or a dance hall, but a card room. If he had chosen a bar or a dance hall, his beloved wife would’ve probably fought with him.
The card room was quite big, and the dealer girl who dealt the cards was skimpily dressed. Her wine-red hair made her skin look snow-white.
When Fang Mu arrived, one of the seats was still empty.
As soon as he sat down, a young man named w.a.n.g Kai came over to him and softly asked Fang Mu with a flattering expression, “I heard that Uncle Fang was bitten by a venomous snake and is still in the hospital. Brother Mu, is this true?” Such an excuse was too…
It was hard to explain.
Fang Mu said softly, “Yes.”
“Sigh, then the rumors outside are saying that Uncle Fang’s left leg—”
Before w.a.n.g Kai could finish his sentence, Fang Mu interrupted him. “It was amputated.” Fang Mu’s tone and his expression were calm. He looked indifferent.
Fang Mu seemed a little cold and unreasonable.
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Kai was stunned. His stomach full of flattery instantly disappeared. He was silent for a moment before dryly saying, “That’s a pity.”
Fang Mu snorted and did not agree.
“Ah Mu, are you following?” At this moment, Liang Qiwen interrupted Fang Mu and w.a.n.g Kai’s conversation.
Fang Mu looked at the card in front of him. It was a nine. He threw out his chips and said, “Follow.”
“I’ll follow too.” Liang Qiwen followed.
Seeing that the two of them were following, w.a.n.g Kai increased the stakes.
After two more rounds of bets, w.a.n.g Kai gradually became timid. In the end, only Fang Mu, Liang Qiwen, and Wu Wen, who was not on good terms with Fang Mu, were left at the card table.
“Continue?” Liang Qiwen asked, but his eyes were fixed on Wu Wen.
Wu Wen was a 35-year-old entrepreneur born from an unorthodox background. He had single-handedly founded the purple high-tech company. Two years ago, he was rated as one of the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs in China. However, Fang Mu looked down on Wu Wen. This person had walked all the way and knelt to beg for mercy to reach his place. Fang Mu felt that he was very spineless.
However, Liang Qiwen valued him very much and felt that he was a person who could tolerate what ordinary people could not.
No matter what, Fang Mu had to address Wu Wen as President Wu when they met.
They were playing Soho. In the last round, Wu Wen had the largest number of cards. Wu Wen looked at the cards in front of him, tapped his fingers on the cards, and took out 80,000 yuan from the chips.
Seeing this, w.a.n.g Zhang opened his mouth wide.
The chips on this table already exceeded 1.5 million.
The dealer gave Liang Qiwen the cards.
Liang Qiwen smiled and looked at the eight in front of him. He shook his head and said, “I won’t follow. If I lose this round, I won’t have the money to buy a bag for my wife.”
Fang Mu received a K.
Without much hesitation, he followed 80,000 yuan.
The dealer gave Fang Mu cards. This time, it was a J.
Fang Mu pushed out a hundred thousand chips.
The dealer sent another message to Wu Wen. It was a Q.
Wu Wen smiled and pushed out another hundred thousand chips. “There are no more cards. Open the cards.” Wu Wen’s tone was very calm. He had seen many storms and he did not care about the money on the table.
Fang Mu was not used to Wu Wen’s pretentious look. A sense of pretentiousness came over him, making him think of Fang Yusheng at home.
The dealer opened his cards.
Wu Wen revealed his trump card, and Fang Mu also revealed his trump card. In the end, Wu Wen’s cards were bigger than Fang Mu’s.
Fang Mu raised his eyebrows and coldly said to Wu Wen, “You’re lucky.”
Wu Wen took the chips into his arms. “I hope I still have such good luck in the next round.”
Another round of bets began.
This time, the atmosphere was a little silent. Anyone with eyes could tell that Fang Mu and Wu Wen seemed to have gotten into a fight in the last round of the bet.
Everyone spoke very softly.
Liang Qiwen laughed and took the initiative to talk. “Did you hear? Second Young Master Lin has broken up with his celebrity girlfriend. The female celebrity has broken up with him and is now with the eldest son of the Li family.”
“Ha, Second Brother Lin didn’t die of anger?” w.a.n.g Kai knew Second Brother Lin. Last year, Second Brother Lin had found a beauty in the entertainment industry and brought her with him wherever he went. Now, he had been cuckolded and probably didn’t have the face to show off his face anywhere.
“No wonder Second Brother Lin didn’t go to Su Wen’s party the day before yesterday.”
“He got his leg cut off and lost face. Where would he go?”
Speaking of this, everyone smiled. After laughing, Wu Wen suddenly sighed. “That circle is very messy. Although there are many beauties, there are also many dirty things.”
Liang Qiwen nodded. “That’s true.”
“Speaking of this, I recall someone.” Wu Wen casually glanced at the cards given by the dealer, threw away his chips, and slowly said, “More than ten years ago, there was a rather famous entertainment company called Cheng… Cheng something.” His slender index finger tapped lightly on his temple. After thinking for a moment, Wu Wen said, “Cheng He Entertainment Film and Television.”
Fang Mu suddenly looked up at Wu Wen without moving.
When Liang Qiwen heard about Cheng He Entertainment’s film and television company, he frowned and thought about it. He asked Wu Wen, “The film company that was famous in the entertainment industry back then? Whose CEO was Cheng Ke?”
Wu Wen smacked his lips and said, “Yes, its boss was called Cheng Ke.”
“What happened to him?” Fang Mu casually asked.
