Fang Yu’an asked Fang Pingjun again, and he said that he had never seen him before.
“Since Eldest Uncle is so powerful, his son is definitely not bad either. Even if he’s not a dragon among men, he’s still considered outstanding. Otherwise, it would be a waste of Eldest Uncle’s high IQ.” Fang Pingjun and Liu Yu’s son, Fang Yukang, said this.
Fang Yusheng sat in the crowd and did not say a word.
Fang Yukang’s sister, Fang Yupei, snorted and said, “We’ll know if he’s a mule or a horse later.”
At this moment, Qiao Jiusheng, who had been maintaining silence the entire time, spoke. “What are you talking about? That’s your brother. Is he a mule or a horse? Is this something a sister like you can say?” She could not stand anyone comparing Fang Yusheng to a mule or horse.
Fang Yupei was stunned when Qiao Jiusheng suddenly attacked.
The others looked at her in surprise. Qiao Jiusheng had not spoken since she sat down, so it was quite surprising that she hit the nail on the head. Fang Yupei was at the age of youthful vigor, so she was naturally unconvinced by Qiao Jiusheng’s public lecture.
She stood up impulsively and said to Qiao Jiusheng, “I just said that randomly. Do you have to be so angry? Why? Eldest Uncle has just returned, and you’re so anxious to curry favor with him?”
Qiao Jiusheng chuckled and stood up as well. She said, “My family has few siblings, just my brother and me. My monthly pocket money can buy more than ten necklaces like yours. Who do I have to fawn over him?” When she said this, Qiao Jiusheng looked arrogant and her tone was very aggressive.
She had the right to say that.
The jewelry brand Crown for Love was an old brand that had been pa.s.sed down for a hundred years. It was a world-famous luxury brand. The Qiao family’s a.s.sets were all over the world, and they were truly wealthy. The jewelry brand Crown for Love was just an industrial chain under their name.
Compared to the Qiao family, Long Xiao Entertainment and the Fang Corporation could not compare.
There were very few children in the Qiao family, and there were only Qiao Sen and Qiao Jiusheng now. Although Qiao Jiusheng married Fang Yusheng, she also held shares in the Qiao Corporation International Corporation. Her annual dividend was quite impressive. Back then, Fang Mu had also found out about this when he realized that Qiao Jiuyin was not Qiao Jiusheng.
Fang Yusheng was now the largest shareholder of the Fang Corporation. He could earn a lot of money sitting at home. Fang Yusheng was also a wife slave. Every time he had money, he would take the initiative to hand it over to her. Fang Yusheng had his own business too. They were diversified across many industries like half an acre of flower fields.
Fang Yusheng earned a lot from his side businesses every year, not to mention the astronomical prices of the weapons he designed.
In comparison, Qiao Jiusheng’s jade shop called “One Day of Joy” seemed insignificant.
Compared to Qiao Jiusheng, Fang Yupei looked much more pitiful.
Long Xiao Entertainment, which was under her father’s name, was actually very profitable. The entertainment and media industries were profiteering industries but Fang Ping did not pursue extravagance and raised his children with the same values. Therefore, the two children did not have a lot of pocket money. Compared to those rich second-generation heirs who easily spent hundreds of thousands or millions, Fang Yupei and Fang Yukang looked pitiful.
Fang Yupei was already 22 years old, and she was at the age to fall in love and find a boyfriend. A few days ago, her boyfriend gave her a diamond necklace from the K Family. It was said that the price was more than a million yuan, and it was so beautiful. She wore it all day long.
However, when Qiao Jiusheng said that her monthly pocket money could buy ten necklaces like Yu Pei’s necklace, she completely trampled on Fang Yupei’s arrogance.
Fang Yupei felt wronged and could not help but tear up.
Qiao Jiusheng had actually disliked this girl for a long time. A few years ago, the Fang family had closed the door to discuss the ugly matter of Fang Yuqing’s pregnancy and abortion. However, rumors spread in school because of Fang Yupei’s big mouth. Hence, the entire world knew that Fang Yuqing was indecent.
Seeing that Fang Yupei’s eyes were red and she was still glaring at her, Qiao Jiusheng glared back at her and scolded her. “Hey! Don’t cry. People who don’t know the truth will definitely think that I bullied you. Everyone saw it. I didn’t bully you today. You were the one who didn’t know how to say the right thing first.”
Qiao Jiusheng was the first to call out Fang Yupei.
Fang Yupei subconsciously looked at the others.
Everyone looked down and did not speak for her. Even her mother remained silent.
In fact, Fang Yupei’s words were indeed a little inappropriate. Everyone had long been against her, and only Qiao Jiusheng had made it clear today. Behind her back, they had been discussing secretly. Liu Yu’s thoughts were the same as the others, and she felt that her daughter should be put in her place.
Qiao Jiusheng would not really lower herself to her level during a family meeting. If she said something wrong to her family, it would leave a bad impression. If she said it to the public or outsiders, she would be in trouble.
Trouble came from the mouth. She did not want to regret it only when something big happened.
Fang Yupei felt extremely wronged, but she was too embarra.s.sed to cry anymore. She sniffled and tried to hold back her tears before sitting down.
Fang Yusheng had been watching Qiao Jiusheng who was like an old hen protecting her chicks. He felt a warmth in his heart.
“Ah Sheng, are you tired? Come, have some tea.” Fang Yusheng could not even bear to put on an act to scold Qiao Jiusheng. He was afraid that she would be tired, so he handed her a cup of warm tea.
Qiao Jiusheng took the tea and drank it.
The couple gathered together and muttered to each other. The way they were so close to each other showed Fang Yusheng’s favoritism for his wife.
Everyone watched silently and had their own thoughts.
The outside world thought that Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng were a useless couple but they were ignorant.
As members of the Fang family, they knew better than anyone that these two fellows who had nothing to do all day were the true new masters of the Fang family.
After Fang Yupei and Qiao Jiusheng’s drama just now, everyone stopped discussing Chi Baoguang and his child. They casually chatted about other new things, but their eyes kept glancing at the door. It was already past seven o’clock, but the two of them were still not here.
Fang Ping had no choice but to call Chi Baoguang and ask him how long it would be before he arrived. Chi Baoguang replied that he was on his way and hung up.
Finally, at 7: 20 pm, the sound of a car approached.
Fang Ping immediately stood up, put down his wine gla.s.s, and quickly walked out to welcome the guests. Liu Yu followed behind him. As the children of the host, Fang Yupei and Fang Yukang had to stand up to welcome them. Once they left, the others in the courtyard stood up and looked at the front of the house.
The lawn was on the left side of the villa. When the guests arrived, they could just walk around the path outside the villa.
Without knowing what happened, everyone heard Fang Pingjun gasp in surprise—
“How could it be you!”
This cry shocked everyone.
Everyone was stunned.. They put aside their so-called etiquette and face and all ran to the front yard.
