Chapter 82: Exposed (6)
Fang Mu naturally did not mind their rudeness.
Qiao Jiuyin quickly took out the gift she had prepared beforehand.
For Jiang Wei, the Fang couple had prepared a limited edition Audemars Piguet watch, and for Jiang Jie, a jewelry watch from Crown of Love. The siblings took the gift and smiled more sincerely. Holding the gift, they said to Qiao Jiuyin, “Thank you, Sister-in-law!”
Qiao Jiuyin said, “Your words are so sweet.”
After thanking Qiao Jiuyin, Jiang Jie suddenly turned to Fang Mu. “Brother Fang Mu, why isn’t Brother Yusheng here?” Jiang Jie was on good terms with Fang Yuqing. Thus, three years ago, she had the honor of meeting Fang Yusheng a few times. When the young girl had seen Fang Yusheng for the first time, she was smitten by his stunning looks.
Three years had pa.s.sed, and she had never forgotten Brother Yusheng’s face.
This could be considered a long-term relations.h.i.+p.
It couldn’t be helped. Beautiful dogs were just that pathetic.
Fang Mu coldly, “He went overseas.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yuqing’s voice rang behind Fang Mu and the rest. “Brother Yusheng has gone to America, but he has prepared a gift for you.”
Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin turned around at the same time and saw the youthful and beautiful Fang Yuqing. They also saw the Fang family’s eldest young mistress who attended the banquet with her sister-in-law, arm in arm. Tonight, Qiao Jiusheng was again dressed brightly. She had worn a long purple gown made of hibiscus. White petals were embroidered on the skirt that reached the ground. A white cat was in front of Qiao Jiusheng, and it looked down on everyone with a cold expression.
Qiao Jiusheng’s long hair was dyed honey brown and styled into curls that draped over her head. Warm winter makeup covered her entire face. Although she did not look very dazzling, she had an outstanding aura.
She had a special kind of beauty.
She was so beautiful that she could capture everyone’s eyes. As long as they snuck a peak, they could not bear to look away.
This charm attracted many people, including Fang Mu.
Fang Mu once again felt a sense of familiarity with Qiao Jiusheng.
He shook his head and told himself not to pay too much attention to Fang Yusheng’s woman.
“For you guys. Happy birthday!”
Qiao Jiusheng took out two small items wrapped in red paper from her dinner bag and handed them to Jiang Wei and Jiang Jie.
Jiang Wei blushed and politely thanked her.
Jiang Jie took the gift as well, but she could not help asking, “You… you are?”
Fang Yuqing answered instead. “My sister-in-law.”
Jiang Jie almost burst into tears.
Her idol was married, and his wife looked amazing!
When Jiang Wei heard that this beautiful lady was married and was Fang Yusheng’s wife, his mind immediately cleared. Jiang Jie opened the red paper and saw a small rabbit carved from green jade inside the box. Her eyes immediately lit up. “Wow, it’s so beautiful.”
Qiao Jiuyin was attracted by her cry of surprise. She looked at the jade and immediately said, “This is an ordinary jade.” In other words, she was insinuating that Fang Yusheng’s gift was unpresentable.
However, Jiang Jie rolled her eyes and replied, “Brother Yusheng gave it to me. The wild flowers by the roadside are all fragrant.”
Qiao Jiuyin was speechless.
Qiao Jiusheng burst out laughing.
She glanced at Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie had just valiantly gone against Qiao Jiuyin, but when she saw Qiao Jiusheng looking at her, she was instantly embarra.s.sed. Qiao Jiusheng saw her embarra.s.sed look and said, “Your Brother Yusheng dared to pick wild flowers by the roadside. He will have to kneel on a durian when he gets home.”
Jiang Jie immediately blushed.
Qiao Jiusheng continued, “Gifts are valued by the heart, not the price. If the heart is there, even a paper flower folded by the hand is worth a thousand gold coins.” After saying that, she suddenly looked at Qiao Jiuyin and asked, “Sister-in-law, don’t you think so?”
Most of the time, Qi Yunsheng addressed the wife of the second branch as Xiao Sheng. Now that she was suddenly calling her ‘sister-in-law,’ it seemed as if she was unhappy.
Being called out, Qiao Jiuyin could only reply, “You’re right, Sister-in-law. I was the one who said something wrong.”
Being sandwiched between the two of them, Fang Yuqing did not dare to make a single sound.
Jiang Bo, who had been silently standing at the side, suddenly laughed and said, “Hehe, Yusheng brat got a good wife.”
Qiao Jiusheng faintly smiled and replied, “I’m lucky to have met Yusheng.”
Without Fang Yusheng around, Qiao Jiusheng could hold up the show of love alone.
