Chapter 868: My World Is Alive Because of You
Fang Yuqing had been very busy until Jiang Wei received a call and had no choice but to leave halfway. Only then did Fang Yuqing finish her work.
Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng planned to leave too.
Fang Yuqing sent them off. When they reached the elevator, Qiao Jiusheng suddenly called out to her.
“Qingqing.”
Fang Yuqing stopped and turned around to look at her.
Qiao Jiusheng’s expression became very serious. From the moment Jiang Wei came to the moment he left, Qiao Jiusheng had been observing the reactions of the two of them. She saw the awkward expressions of the two young people. Qiao Jiusheng, this smart person, had already understood everything.
They were both interested in each other, but for some reason, they did not say it out loud. Instead, they made their relations.h.i.+p very awkward.
She did not want to see the two of them miss each other because of their various actions. As someone who had been through this before, Qiao Jiusheng still decided to say a few considerate words to Fang Yuqing. She walked to Fang Yuqing’s side and asked seriously, “Qingqing, you like Jiang Wei, right?”
At that time, Fang Yuqing had admitted her mistake on Weibo and resolved everyone’s misunderstanding of Jiang Wei. At that time, Qiao Jiusheng thought that Fang Yuqing really did not have any feelings for Jiang Wei. But now, it seemed like that was not the case. They seemed to like each other, but for some reason, they did not reveal their feelings.
Fang Yuqing did not expect Qiao Jiusheng’s gaze to be so sharp. She could actually tell.
She thought that she had hidden her thoughts well.
Fang Yuqing’s silence told Qiao Jiusheng the answer.
“Since you like him, why didn’t you tell him?” Qiao Jiusheng could not figure it out. Did she have to hide it if she liked someone?
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuqing looked at Qiao Jiusheng for a moment before saying, “Sister-in-law Ah Sheng, I’m not you. You have the right to pursue the person you like at will. I don’t.”
How could Qiao Jiusheng not understand Fang Yuqing’s words?
.....
“What era is this!” Qiao Jiusheng was a little angry and angry that Fang Yuqing was disappointing. “Who doesn’t make mistakes? You made a mistake when you were young, so you’re inferior to others for the rest of your life?” Qiao Jiusheng pressed Fang Yuqing’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Qingqing, you’re very good. A man who understands you is a real good man.”
“I think that Jiang Wei is quite good. Back then, he could even wrong himself for you, which means that he has a good impression of you.” Qiao Jiusheng suggested boldly, “Why don’t you try to pursue him?”
Fang Yuqing smiled bitterly and shook her head.
“It’s too late.”
“What do you mean?”
The scene of Jiang Wei and Hua Wushuang holding hands flashed across Fang Yuqing’s mind. She laughed at herself and said, “He has a girlfriend.”
Qiao Jiusheng was a little surprised.
“In that case, forget it.”
He already had a lover. If she disturbed him again, it would not be called true love. It would be called shameless.
After bidding farewell to Fang Yuqing, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng went downstairs.
Sitting in his car, Fang Yusheng looked at the time. It was almost three o’clock. He said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Let’s go pick the children up from school. We won’t go to the shop this afternoon.”
“…Okay.”
Ever since she got pregnant, Qiao Jiusheng had been sitting in the back seat of the car.
Fang Yusheng habitually placed something on the pa.s.senger seat. Occasionally, it was a small doll, and occasionally, it was a key, as if Qiao Jiusheng was sitting with him. Qiao Jiusheng suddenly said, “Qingqing likes Jiang Wei.”
“I know.”
Qiao Jiusheng was a little surprised. “How did you know?”
“I heard from Yu’an that the last time Jiang Wei carried roses to see Qingqing, Qingqing ran to France. He must like her.”
Qiao Jiusheng did not know about this.
She was puzzled. “But Qingqing said that Jiang Wei has a girlfriend.”
“Really?” Fang Yusheng thought about it and said, “Then he might have a change of heart.” Although he said that, he did not think so in his heart. The last time he met Jiang Wei in the hotel toilet, Jiang Wei was still beating around the bush to ask him about Fang Yuqing.
He had fallen in love with someone else so quickly?
Fang Yusheng could not help but shake his head and praise himself. “Your husband is still the best. He’s handsome and loving. Where can you find such a good husband?”
Qiao Jiusheng burst out laughing.
“Can you not be narcissistic?”
Fang Yusheng joked and said, “Just as it’s natural for me to love you, it’s also natural for me to be narcissistic.” He was smiling as he said this joke, but his tone was very serious when he said the first half of the sentence. Qiao Jiusheng stared at Fang Yusheng’s side profile as he drove and suddenly sighed. She said, “Back then, when I found you, you whipped me without a word. At that time, in my eyes, you were a demon.”
Fang Yusheng fell silent. “You never told me about this.” Fang Yusheng naturally still remembered the scene that night.
He remembered that Qiao Jiusheng’s thigh was red and swollen from his whips.
“Do you hate me?”
“Not really.” Qiao Jiusheng frowned. Recalling her feelings at that time, she said, “But I hate you a little and am afraid of you.”
Fang Yusheng could understand why Qiao Jiusheng hated him, but where did her fear come from? “Why are you afraid of me?” Since she was afraid of him, why did she come to find him?
Qiao Jiusheng said, “Because I had memories of my previous life at that time. I know what you did in your previous life. You killed so many people without batting an eyelid. In my eyes, you’re a poisonous snake. In order to bite a pa.s.serby to death, you hid in the gra.s.s for decades just to wait for someone to pa.s.s by and take a bite.”
Fang Yusheng was a little surprised.
“I never thought that I would be so scary in your eyes.”
“Yes, at that time, I felt that you were even more scary than Qiao Jiuyin. She’s ruthless, but she’s not patient. At least, she’s not as patient as you. Unlike you, you actually endured humiliation for the rest of your life in order to kill those who harmed you. So the first time I saw you, I saw you eating vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures. I thought…”
Halfway through her sentence, Qiao Jiusheng hesitated for a moment before saying, “Someone like you actually believes in Buddhism…” She muttered to herself,” I really think you’ve tainted Buddhism. ”
Fang Yusheng was not angry when he heard Qiao Jiusheng’s words.
“I told you, when I believed in Buddha, I just didn’t have any thoughts. I didn’t have any faith. I felt disgusted just living.” He didn’t turn around. He just looked ahead of the car, as if talking to himself. He murmured, “So you appeared. You became my faith. You made me feel that the world was still beautiful.”
The car stopped in front of the children’s school.
Fang Yusheng did not unbuckle his seatbelt. He turned around and stared at Qiao Jiusheng with a burning gaze. He said, “My world was alive because of you.”
They were already an old couple and had been together for a few years. Hearing such raw words, Qiao Jiusheng still felt embarra.s.sed.
She looked away awkwardly and did not answer.
After a while, the children walked out of the school.
From afar, Qiao Jiusheng saw her little fatty following behind a girl. The little fatty was carrying a school bag for the girl and serving her like a lackey.
Upon seeing this scene, Fang Yusheng asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Is that little fatty really from our family?” Fang Yusheng felt that he could not look at him directly.
