When Qiao Jiusheng reached the clubhouse’s hall, her anxious heart finally relaxed.
She put on her jacket and walked to the elevator. The waiter helped her press the button for the stairs. Qiao Jiusheng waited for a while before the door finally opened. Then, she entered the elevator, and the door behind her slowly closed. Suddenly, the door that was about to close stopped and opened again.
Qiao Jiusheng was about to turn around when the person who had just entered the lift suddenly called her name.
“Xiao Sheng?” Fang Mu was drunk. He stared at the girl in front of him and could not help but recognize her as Qiao Jiusheng.
Fang Mu!
Qiao Jiusheng stopped moving.
Fang Mu looked at the figure in front of him in a daze. His eyes were filled with infatuation and confusion.
Isn’t Xiao Sheng dead?
Who is this?
Could it be that I’m so drunk that my eyes are blurry?
Forget it, forget it! Just treat it as being drunk.
“Xiao Sheng, turn around and look at me, okay?”
Despite his words, the woman in front of him remained motionless.
Even her illusion refuses to look at me?
She hates me.
Fang Mu felt terrible. “Xiao Sheng, you’re blaming me, right? You’re blaming me for saying that I loved you, but failed to recognize the difference between you and Qiao Jiuyin. You hate me for marrying her. You hate me for having a child with her… Xiao Sheng, do you hate me so much that you refuse to look at me?”
With her back facing Fang Mu, Qiao Jiusheng widened her eyes.
He knows.
Fang Mu took a step forward. He stretched out his arms and gently hugged Qiao Jiusheng from behind. Placing his head on Qiao Jiusheng’s shoulder, he muttered, “Xiao Sheng, I’m sorry. I’ve let you down. Don’t be so ruthless. Just look at me. Just look at me. Okay?”
He softly spoke in a subservient manner.
Qiao Jiusheng lowered her head. She stared at the hands tightly holding her waist. The ring on his left ring finger got on Qiao Jiusheng’s nerves.
You keep apologizing to me, but you still have your wedding ring with her.
Fang Mu, your apologies and love are unbearable.
In an instant, all those sweet scenes from before got crushed into powder.
Fang Mu suddenly heard the woman in his arms say, “Second Brother, you’ve got the wrong person.”
He suddenly opened his eyes, and his intoxicated eyes instantly became clear.
He let go, and the person in his arms slowly turned around. She raised her head and revealed a beautiful face that was not shocked but calm.
“Second Brother, you’re drunk, right?” Qiao Jiusheng took out a wet tissue from her bag and handed it to Fang Mu. She said, “Wipe your face. You’re drunk. You can’t even recognize people.”
A wet tissue was forced into his palm. Fang Mu grabbed the tissue and looked down at Qiao Jiusheng’s face. His expression turned ugly. “W-Why are you here?”
You what?! You’re so rude. You should call me sister-in-law!
Qiao Jiusheng maintained a perfect and calm smile as she replied, “I came to meet a friend.” Then, with a surprised expression and a smile, she asked, “The last time I saw you, I was with Sister-in-law. Why didn’t you bring her with you today?”
“She’s not suitable for such an occasion.” Fang Mu’s tone was cold.
Qiao Jiusheng faintly smiled and sincerely advised him. “Second Brother, you should avoid going to such places in the future. I heard that pregnant women are most prone to letting their thoughts run wild. Places like these have too many beauties. Be careful not to cause trouble in the backyard.”
Her words agitated Fang Mu again.
“Just here for business.”
When the elevator reached the first floor, Fang Mu turned around and walked out.
Qiao Jiusheng slowly walked back. The moment she walked out of the club, she saw a middle-aged man in a blue down jacket walking over. “Madam, get in the car. I’ll send you back.”
Qiao Jiusheng recognized that this was Fang Yusheng’s chauffeur. She was flattered as she entered the car.
Fang Mu opened his car’s door and suddenly looked over.
He stared at Qiao Jiusheng’s figure as she got into the car. His eyebrows raised, and confusion entered his eyes once again.
Why did I sense a familiar aura from her?
***
Qiao Jiusheng returned to the house, but she was not in a good mood.
Fang Mu’s words had more or less affected her.
It was not that she still had feelings for him. It was just that after knowing the truth, Fang Mu had not exposed Qiao Jiuyin’s true colors and sought justice for Qiao Jiusheng. She was completely disappointed in him.
A man should not act like Fang Mu.
After being depressed for two days, Qiao Jiusheng was relieved. This is good too. In the future, when Fang Yusheng deals with Fang Mu, I can also calmly watch the fire from the shore.
Time passed very quickly, and Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Qiao Jiusheng was eating breakfast when Aunt Jin brought Fang Yuqing in.
“Sister-in-law Yunsheng, am I too early?” Fang Yuqing had worn a pink cloak, a short shirt, black jeans, and a pair of flat snow boots. It was snowing today, so she looked good in this outfit.
“Not early at all. Have you eaten breakfast? If you haven’t, come and have some.”
Qiao Jiusheng quickly got Aunt Jin to add the dishes, but Fang Yuqing waved her hand. “No, I’ve already eaten.”
“Fine.”
Fang Yuqing sat opposite Qiao Jiusheng. She planned to talk to her about serious matters after the latter finished her breakfast. However, Qiao Jiusheng put down the porridge bowl, wiped her mouth, and suddenly asked, “Qingqing, have you been losing weight recently?”
“Hmm?” Fang Yuqing looked puzzled.
Qiao Jiusheng said, “You’ve lost a lot of weight.”
“Really?” Fang Yuqing looked troubled. Unlike other girls, she did not look happy on hearing that she had lost weight.
Her reaction made Qiao Jiusheng frown.
What’s going on? She felt that Qingqing’s reaction was a little strange.
