Chapter 270 – He Has a Daughter!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Fang Yusheng, did you like someone when you were young?”
Qiao Jiusheng’s question shocked Fang Yusheng a little, and he blurted out, “You know?”
What he meant was: You know you’re that person?
Unfortunately, their thoughts were not on the same path, and they misunderstood each other.
Qiao Jiusheng’s heart was cold as if she had just taken it out of the fridge.
Yeah, I know that.
Her heart ached.
Although she had already told herself not to be calculative with the so-called white moonlight in Fang Yusheng’s heart, it was one thing to understand rationally and another to be jealous deep down. At this moment, Qiao Jiusheng more or less understood how Fang Yusheng felt on the day Fang Mu was killed when she had turned away from him to look at Fang Mu.
He was really unhappy!
Qiao Jiusheng forced a smile and could not help but mock Fang Yusheng. “Then you’re destined to not be able to find that person.” Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin have already killed her. Let’s see where you can find her.
“I’m afraid you’ll have to go to heaven.”
After Qiao Jiusheng said that, Fang Yusheng finally realized something was wrong.
He had found her already.
“Do you know who that person is?” he asked lazily, without any nervousness or anxiety.
His indifferent tone made Qiao Jiusheng feel better.
Perhaps, his white moonlight is no longer an important person to him.
Shaking her head, Qiao Jiusheng said in a lighter tone, “I don’t know.”
Fang Yusheng frowned and asked, “Then how do you know that I can’t find that person?” Who does she think I liked when I was young?
He remembered that when Qiao Jiusheng had taken the initiative to look for him, she had said that she knew that there was someone hidden in his heart.
How did she know?
Fang Yusheng looked at Qiao Jiusheng suspiciously.
Qiao Jiusheng misunderstood his gaze again and thought that Fang Yusheng was suspecting her. She quickly proved her innocence and said, “It has nothing to do with me.” She cleared her name and continued, “I can only tell you that the person you’re looking for might be dead.” After a pause, she added, “Her death might have something to do with Qiao Jiuyin and Fang Mu.”
That was all Qiao Jiusheng knew.
She had told Fang Yusheng everything she knew. Qiao Jiusheng could not control what he thought.
Fang Yusheng’s expression was complicated.
If Qiao Jiusheng had not come to him for help, she might have died in Qiao Jiuyin’s hands.
But she also said that it was just a hypothesis.
The truth was, he’d found his San Gouzi.
However, after analyzing what Qiao Jiusheng had just said, Fang Yusheng suddenly realized that Qiao Jiusheng was definitely hiding something from him. “Ah Sheng, are you hiding something from me and not telling me?” He carefully probed her.
Qiao Jiusheng naturally shook her head. “No.”
She had led a good life in this life, so she would not mention her past life again.
When Qiao Jiusheng saw that Fang Yusheng seemed to be thinking about something, she thought that he was still thinking about his white moonlight. Her face immediately turned cold as she expressionlessly threatened him, “Fang Yusheng, don’t think about other women in front of me! You have to remember that you’re my man. If you dare to cheat on me, I won’t let you off easily.”
Her slender and fair fingers were pressed against Fang Yusheng’s chest. Qiao Jiusheng pressed them down and told him, sternly and domineeringly, “In the past, I could let bygones be bygones, but now, and even in the future, you can only think about me and love me alone. If I find out that you are half-hearted and have someone else in your heart…” Qiao Jiusheng’s gaze fell between Fang Yusheng’s legs.
Fang Yusheng subconsciously closed his legs when he heard Qiao Jiusheng say, “Be careful. If I kick you, you have to use a catheter when you pee.”
Fang Yusheng was speechless.
It was painful just thinking about it!
In the past, Fang Yusheng was so happy that Qiao Jiusheng wanted to kill Fang Mu’s third leg. Now, he was so worried for his own.
As a boss, he naturally didn’t need to pay to eat.
Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng had lunch in the garden and left together. On the way home, Fang Yusheng could not help but login into the OK app. He entered the group chat and immediately sent the photo of his newly collected marriage certificate.
Everyone was congratulating him, but he didn’t see Yan Nuo and Ji Yinbing.
Fang Yusheng found it strange and asked. [Where’s Ah Nuo and Yinbing?]
The group fell silent.
What happened?
Did something happen to those two?
Just then, Suzanne messaged him privately.
Suzanne: [The two of them seem to have broken up.]
An: [!]
Suzanne: [Apparently, Ah Nuo’s little first love ran back.]
An: [Didn’t you say she was dead?]
Suzanne: [I’m not sure. Apparently, after she came back, Ah Nuo didn’t let her go. He let her work with him. When Yinbing returned and found out, they broke up.]
An: [What’s Ah Nuo’s reaction?]
Suzanne: [I’m not sure. You know how hard Yinbing worked to be worthy of Ah Nuo. For so many years, that first love has always been a pain in his heart. Yinbing perhaps fulfilled their wish.]
An: [If she likes him, then she should snatch him back. Fulfilling their wish is just an excuse used because she doesn’t like him enough.]
Just like how he liked Qiao Jiusheng. No matter who she had in her heart, he would snatch her away first and pamper her until she could not leave him. Wouldn’t that be the end of that happiness?
Those who used the excuse of fulfilling others’ wishes were cowards who did not love a person deeply enough.
Suzanne looked at Fang Yusheng’s message and replied: [That’s in India. Yinbing was born in a slum. Ah Nuo’s first love was a daughter of an aristocrat. Even though her family has declined, she is still a golden phoenix. No matter how powerful Yinbing is now, she will always be a chicken that flew out of a chicken coop.]
Suzanne: [Yinbing already felt that her status was not good enough for Ah Nuo. Now that Ah Nuo’s first love, who is a match for him, has returned, she must be feeling upset.]
Suzanne: [If Ah Nuo does Yinbing wrong, I will go and snatch her. Anyway, I am alone. I can find a girlfriend to live with.]
An: [Awesome, my Suzanne! If you’re looking to live with Yinbing, why don’t you come to China and wipe out that scourge Wei Xin?] Fang Yusheng found Qiao Jiusheng and Wei Xin’s daily banter an eyesore.
Suzanne: [Ha ha…]
Suzanne chuckled and stopped replying. Fang Yusheng didn’t know what he had said wrong.
Qiao Jiusheng’s voice suddenly rang in Fang Yusheng’s ears. “How is Wei Xin a scourge?”
Fang Yusheng quickly switched off his phone and looked at Qiao Jiusheng. He kept quiet.
Qiao Jiusheng scoffed lightly, feeling that Fang Yusheng had too many bad ideas.
“I have a question for you. Answer me honestly.” Fang Yusheng became serious.
Qiao Jiusheng sat upright. “Tell me.”
“How did you meet Wei Xin?” He had always been curious. Most of Wei Xin’s friends were models in the fashion industry. Qiao Jiusheng had only been a student when she met her. So how did the two come to know each other.
Qiao Jiusheng was stunned. Her expression was a little strange and guilty.
When he saw this, Fang Yusheng’s face turned cold. “Why? Is it hard to say?”
“It’s not that I can’t tell you.” Qiao Jiusheng glanced at Fang Yusheng and carefully said, “I’m just afraid that you’ll be angry if I tell you.”
Fang Yusheng had a bad feeling about this, but he still insisted that Qiao Jiusheng tell him.
Helpless, Qiao Jiusheng could only say, “I once opened a shop.”
“What store?”
“An adult store.”
Fang Yusheng was surprised. “You ran that kind of store?” No wonder she’s a veteran.
Qiao Jiusheng understood Fang Yusheng’s gaze and felt a little awkward. She explained, “Well, our family did not give us much pocket money when we were young. When I grew up and turned 18, I had to rely on my abilities to earn pocket money.”
Fang Yusheng knew that when Qiao Jiusheng was 13 years old, her monthly pocket money was only 500 yuan. When she had saved him in Meng Hai, it had been the end of the month. Qiao Jiusheng only had about 10 yuan left in her pocket money. Otherwise, she would not have bought him a bunch of street clothes that were sold for three at the price of 200 yuan.
“When I went to university, my allowance was only 800 yuan a month. I love to eat, and I have to spend money when I eat. I love beauty, and buying clothes, bags, and cosmetics costs money! Eight hundred yuan is naturally not enough. I heard that adult products are very profitable, so I borrowed money from Big Brother and opened an adult products shop in Binjiang City.”
“Mm.” Fang Yusheng did not interrupt her.
“There were many kinds of items and tools in my adult store. They included gay, lesbian, husband and wife, twin flying, S&M, and various other types of tools.” Qiao Jiusheng’s face was not red, and her heart did not skip a beat when she talked about these topics. She looked calm and experienced.
Fang Yusheng frowned.
“For eight consecutive days, Wei Xin came to my shop to buy… things.” Qiao Jiusheng was a little embarrassed to say their names in front of Fang Yusheng.
During that period, Wei Xin and Gu Jiayi got along very well. The two of them had a lot of fun. Wei Xin bought a lot of things from Qiao Jiusheng and spent a lot of money.
She was Qiao Jiusheng’s biggest client.
“Wei Xin saw that I was very tight-lipped, so she often visited my shop and even added me as a friend. As long as there were any interesting and exciting new products in my shop, I would inform her. After a while, we became familiar with each other. Later, she would help me design dresses, and I would help her collect all kinds of interesting… toys.”
Fang Yusheng’s frown deepened.
Qiao Jiusheng could write a book about the process of getting to know Wei Xin. She had already thought of a name for it. The names she considered were…
“A Casanova Customer and a Female Boss!
“That female customer sure knows how to have fun!
“Brawler’s Biography: When I was a collector!”
Fang Yusheng was speechless. “I think you’d better not open a jade shop. You might as well return to your old profession.”
Qiao Jiusheng could hear the sarcasm in his words. She smiled awkwardly and said obsequiously, “Don’t. I’ve already washed my hands clean. It’s better to open a jade shop.”
Fang Yusheng couldn’t help but ask, “Oh, to sell the ‘little toys’ you carve?”
Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.
“I’ve never carved those little toys before,” she said, her voice low and breathy.
Why didn’t she ever carve one? She was afraid that her deceased master would jump out of the coffin and beat her to death.
Qiao Jiusheng glanced at Fang Yusheng. Seeing that he was still angry, she asked, “Just say it. What do you want me to do so that you won’t be angry?”
“I won’t be angry if you carve a jade that looks like me and has the words ‘I love Fang Yusheng’ on its back.”
Qiao Jiusheng wanted to roll her eyes, but before she could start, she saw Fang Yusheng glaring at her. Thus, she quickly nodded. “Alright, alright.”
***
The next day, Fang Yusheng casually threw Qiao Jiusheng a raw white jade from Xinjiang. He looked casual and carefree and had the aura of a tycoon. “Carve it better. It’s ugly…” Fang Yusheng looked at Qiao Jiusheng, his eyes not smiling at all.
Qiao Jiusheng looked at the stone and said, “We have to cut this first.”
She asked Qi Bufan to send the raw stones to the factory to be cut. When Qi Bufan returned, he even brought back the corners of the jade.
Qiao Jiusheng picked up the processed piece. It was about fifteen centimeters tall, seven to eight centimeters wide, and five centimeters thick. Seeing that she had chosen the jade, Qi Bufan also picked up another complete and beautiful piece of white jade from the scraps. He tried hard to smile with his expressionless face.
Qiao Jiusheng was shocked to see him suddenly smile.
Some people were not suitable to smile. Their smile was uglier than their crying expression. Qi Bufan was one of those people.
“Bufan, you better stop smiling.” It was true. He scared her when he smiled, and she had a feeling he was smiling savagely.
Upon hearing this, Qi Bufan immediately returned to his serious and expressionless face.
This was much more normal.
“Tell me, what do you want to do?” Qiao Jiusheng stared at the jade piece in his hand.
Qi Bufan handed the jade to Qiao Jiusheng and said, “Can you make me a small pendant with this jade too?”
“Sure, what kind do you want?”
Qi Bufan said, “I want… something meaningful.”
Qiao Jiusheng sized up the corner of the material in her hand and thought for a while before saying, “This bit of material can be used to carve a jade ruyi, or a jade cicada, or a peace bean. It depends on which type you want.” She looked at the shape of the jade and said, “But I think a jade cicada will look better.
“The cicada is a symbol of rebirth and eternal spirit. Normally, when you give a cicada to someone, you want that person to be strong and optimistic about life. Also, the cicada has a noble character, which is as pure as ice and jade. You would hope that the other party will be a pure and honest girl who loves herself and is strong.”
Qiao Jiusheng then looked up at Qi Bufan and asked, “Do you want to give it to someone or use it yourself?”
“Give it.”
“Is it for someone you like or a friend?”
“My daughter.”
“Huh?” Qiao Jiusheng almost dropped the jade in her hand..
