Yan Nuo, who could not give Fang Yusheng a child, strode away with a stomach full of anger.
Qiao Jiusheng bumped Fang Yusheng. “You have a sharp tongue. How dare you ask him for the seal after tricking him?”
Fang Yusheng played with the seal and touched the words “Fang Yusheng.” His lips curled up without him knowing it.
“Thank you. I love it.”
Fang Yusheng turned to Qiao Jiusheng and said those words.
Qiao Jiusheng stood on the spot, stiff. She looked up at her blind husband and asked in confusion, “How did you know it was me?”
“I figured it was you.”
“How did you guess?”
“You’ve been good at carving since you were young. The thing you want to do the most when you grow up is to become a jade carving master.” This was not hard to guess. People invited to this auction were people with status. And currently, Qiao Jiusheng was no longer the Second Miss of the Qiao family. She was only Fang Yusheng’s wife.
Just that status did not make one qualified to receive an invitation.
The fact that she could attend this exhibition only meant that she had another identity.
A Designer.
And when Fang Yusheng had asked her which piece was the best, she said that it was number 28. When Qi Bufan introduced item number 28, Qiao Jiusheng said that number 28 was a jade carving carved from black jade.
Hence, Fang Yusheng guessed that she was the owner of the 28th jade sculpture.
Qiao Jiusheng was even more confused. “How did you know?” She wanted to be a jade carving master, not a jewelry designer. Only her family knew this. Even Fang Mu did not know. Qiao Jiusheng suspiciously looked at Fang Yusheng, and a scary thought appeared in her mind.
“Fang Yusheng, do you know how to read minds?” Other than that, she could not think of any possibility.
Fang Yusheng shook his head, seemingly mysterious. He said with a sad sigh, “Ah Sheng, there’s no one in the world with a worse memory than you.”
This was not the first time Fang Yusheng had said that she had a bad memory.
Qiao Jiusheng thought about it. She could not remember ever knowing Fang Yusheng.
“Fang Yusheng, did we know each other in the past?”
Fang Yusheng was very hurt.
Not only that! You even promised to marry me!
Hearing Qiao Jiusheng’s question, Fang Yusheng felt very hurt. She has really forgotten about me.
“Who knows!”
Fang Yusheng’s answer was very vague, and Qiao Jiusheng could not hear the deeper meaning in it.
She held Fang Yusheng’s hand and walked out. Thinking of something, she said, “You carved the pair of jade statues that you gave to the Jiang siblings last time, right?”
Fang Yusheng nodded and explained, “I was depressed for a period and had nothing to do, so I carved some things to play with. But I was not born with that talent, and the things I carved were ugly.” He could not see, and his carving skills were terrible. Most of the things he carved could not be recognized from the original material. “The jade carvings I had you gift Jiang Wei and Jiang Jie were the two most successful pieces I carved.”
Qiao Jiusheng nodded. “I told you that it did not look like it was bought.” It was not that ugly.
She was too embarrassed to tell Fang Yusheng the rest.
It was late at night when they returned to the hotel.
When Fang Yusheng thought that Qiao Jiusheng would be returning to the country the next day, he felt quite reluctant. He refused to let her sleep and even handed her a book printed on A4 paper.
“Read it to me.”
Qiao Jiusheng took the paper and glanced at the cover. It was blank and without any words.
She opened it and looked at the content. A troubled expression immediately appeared on her face. “Can… can I read it to you silently?”
Fang Yusheng: “How can I hear you then?”
Fang Yusheng’s head rested on her legs. He said, “Read it. Every page you recite will reduce your loan by 10,000 yuan.” Qiao Jiusheng had a huge debt. She still owed Fang Yusheng 100,000 yuan.
