Chapter 460: You Have to Call Me Grandfather
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Fang Yusheng was still blind, he was especially vain. His aesthetic sense was very strange, and this could be seen from the way he kept messing with his hair. He had tried many hairstyles. Long hair, short hair, buzz cut, Buddhist-style pigtails, and current slicked-back hair… They were actually all signs of his love for beauty.
He inherited this from his mother.
What kind of person was Lisa?
She was actually a hot-tempered person, but she was very good at pretending. When she was still teaching in school, she would always dress fas.h.i.+onably and beautifully. She had even been selected by the entire school as the most fas.h.i.+onable teacher. When she went out to buy groceries, she had to dress beautifully.
Even when she was extremely angry at Fang Yusheng and chased him around with a frying pan, she had watched helplessly as he hid in the neighbor’s house because she was still wearing his home clothes and was not beautiful enough to be seen in public. As for her, she resigned herself to fate and carried the frying pan home. After changing her clothes, she went to the neighbor’s house to bring Fang Yusheng back.
In this world, Fang Yusheng rarely submitted to others. However, if his mother called him second, he would not dare to call himself first.
Hence, how could Lisa, who was so vain and mindful of her image, wear slippers to see her son and daughter-in-law?!
“No, I can’t go see my son and daughter-in-law like this. Who wears slippers to see their family?” Lisa quickly pushed open the car door and ran back to her room elegantly and anxiously under the stunned gaze of Chi Baoguang.
A moment later, she came downstairs.
She had taken off her dress and was wearing a black suit with a dark green double-breasted coat. Her hair was tied up and she looked otherworldly. As she got closer, her eyebrows became clearer under the light and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could be seen.
Time was not a butcher’s knife on her. It was a carving knife, meticulously carving charming traces on her face.
Chi Baoguang was a little mesmerized.
Lisa got into the pa.s.senger seat and said to Chi Baoguang, “Look, what else is wrong with me?”
Chi Baoguang shook his head. “Perfect.”
Upon hearing this, Lisa relaxed a little.
When they got on the plane, Chi Baoguang saw that Lisa was still very nervous. His eyes became colder.
Was she really lying that the child was not his?
Chi Baoguang was thinking about it when he heard Lisa say, “Actually, I should be a ‘dead person’ now.”
“What do you mean?” Chi Baoguang did not understand what she meant.
Lisa said, “I don’t know why, but a few years ago, there were always people who kept coming to look for me. They said that you left something for me. That thing should be very important. They even threatened to kill the child if I didn’t give it to them. I…”
Lisa gritted her teeth and said apologetically, “In order to protect Yusheng, I could only pretend to be dead.” This death lasted for 18 years.
Upon hearing this, Chi Baoguang narrowed his eyes. “Oh, then did you give it to them?”
Lisa shook her head. “I don’t even know what they’re looking for.” She tilted her head at the late light, her eyes puzzled. “What are they looking for? Is the thing really with me?”
“Yeah.”
Lisa was stunned. “Where?”
Chi Baoguang shook his head and did not elaborate.
After getting off the plane, Chi Baoguang was actually a little nervous.
He actually had a child!
He rented a car and went to a hotel and put his things away. Thinking that he was about to see the child, Chi Baoguang called a clothing shop and asked them to send him a set of formal clothes to change into. Before he left to see Fang Yusheng, Chi Baoguang suddenly asked Lisa, “I gave you a necklace back then. Is it still there?”
Lisa thought about it before saying, “You gave me a dozen.”
“The green one.”
“That emerald necklace?” Lisa said. “It’s probably still there. When I faked my death, I didn’t leave anything behind. Everything was taken away by Yusheng. He’s a little money-grubber. He must still have kept such a precious thing.”
“Oh.”
Lisa was not stupid. With his reminder, she guessed the problem. “They want the emerald necklace?”
“No, it’s something inside.”
After Chi Baoguang answered her question, he turned to look out of the window.
She did not even know about the existence of that thing. In that case, the letter back then might not have been written by her. She didn’t even know about that thing. How could she betray him? Those who knew about his research and development project were all people he trusted the most.
One was Lisa, and the other was… Pingjue!
At the thought of what Lisa had said previously, Chi Baoguang’s heart wavered.
Would that sensible brother who had grown up with him really betray him?
Upon hearing this, Lisa wondered what was in the emerald necklace.
As they were deep in thought, they could vaguely see the words ‘Dragon Harbor’ in front of them…
—
The Fang family.
Qiao Jiusheng went to the shop to work, and Fang Yusheng was busy in his studio.
There was only Aunt Jin and the two little fellows in the front yard.
Auntie Jin was preparing lunch. Fang Zikai said that he wanted to eat celery stir-fried sausages, and Auntie Jin was was.h.i.+ng the sausages. This was a rather gruesome job, but Fang Zikai was very keen to learn. He squatted beside Auntie Jin and asked her innocently, “Grandma Jin, why did you poke the sausages with a chopstick?”
“Because my fingers are short.”
“Then why don’t you use a needle to knit clothes?”
“The tip is too sharp. It will tear.”
“…Oh.”
Fang Zikai looked at it for a while and smelled a pungent smell. He asked again, “Why are the pig’s intestines the color of pink?”
“Because… pigs are kind.”
Fang Zikai accepted this explanation. After a while, he asked again, “Why did the sun disappear?”
“Because the other side of the Earth also needs the sun.”
“Then, why does Daddy always hug and kiss Mommy?”
Auntie Jin explained with a dark expression, “Because… only people who love each other sincerely can’t help but want to kiss each other.”
“Oh, no wonder my brother refused to give me a goodnight kiss. So he doesn’t love me.” Fang Zikai was a little disappointed.
He sat on the small stool and thought of something. He asked again, “Then why does the seawater tide rise and fall? Anyway, it has to fall. It’s better not to rise.”
Aunt Jin did not know how to explain.
This question was too difficult.
At that moment, a deep, masculine voice sounded behind them. The man said, “That was so we could learn to say ‘again.’”
Upon hearing the voice, Aunt Jin and Fang Zikai turned around at the same time.
In the house, Fang Zicheng was also alarmed. He jumped off the sofa and jogged out of the house. He leaned against the door and looked at the strangers in the courtyard.
Fang Zikai looked up at the person behind him.
He was not young anymore, but he was good-looking.
Fang Zikai thought: This person must have been very good-looking when he was young.
“h.e.l.lo.” Fang Zikai nodded at him.
Chi Baoguang was stunned by the child’s actions. He came back to his senses and nodded at him. “h.e.l.lo.”
Fang Zikai straightened up, his face cold. He looked at Chi Baoguang warily and pretended to be fierce. “Uncle, did you climb over the wall and enter?” They did not hear the doorbell.
Chi Baoguang, who had climbed over the wall and entered, said, “You have to call me Grandpa.”
