Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 302: I’m Narrow Minded and Rarely Forgive People

When Dai Chukong protected her father, she was like a little tiger, young and fearless.

Now, when she betrayed him, she was like a little rabbit, cute and harmless.

Fang Yusheng glanced at Qi Bufan, who was in a daze. He crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, saying, “You really raised a good daughter.”

Qi Bufan heard the sarcasm in Fang Yusheng’s words.

He felt awkward. He hadn’t expected his daughter to betray him.

Qi Bufan had realized his mistake. He scratched his buzz cut and sincerely said to Fang Yusheng, “Sir, I’m the one who said the wrong thing. Please be magnanimous and forgive me.”

“Oh, is that so?” Fang Yusheng’s lips curled into a devilish smile.

He suddenly snorted and continued, “I’m sorry! I’m narrow-minded and rarely forgive people!” With that said, he casually closed the door.

Clang!

Qi Bufan and his daughter were left outside the door.

Qi Bufan had almost gotten hit in the nose by the door. He rubbed his nose, turned around, and smiled at Dai Chukong. “This…” He suggested, “Why don’t we come back another day to apologize?”

When Dai Chukong thought about how she had scolded Fang Yusheng because of her father, she could not help but snort. “That’s none of my business. I still have lessons to attend!”

To take care of Qi Bufan, Dai Chukong had taken half a day off. According to her schedule, she only had forty minutes till her lessons in the afternoon would begin, so she had to rush to school. Dai Chukong turned around and left, not caring about Qi Bufan’s life.

Qi Bufan chased after her and said, “I’ll send you there.”

Dai Chukong pretended not to hear him.

The two of them bickered as they went downstairs. When Fang Yusheng heard that they had left, he returned to the living room.

Qiao Jiusheng smiled at him. “Are you still angry?”

Fang Yusheng felt wronged.

Pretending to be aloof, he sat on the sofa and reached out to poke Qiao Jiusheng’s stomach. He then said to the two boys in his stomach, “No wonder they say that daughters warm their fathers’ hearts. I finally understand what they mean.” Fang Yusheng was envious of Dai Chukong protecting Qi Bufan like that.

Although Dai Chukong had impure thoughts about Qi Bufan, she was genuinely protective of him.

Fang Yusheng felt depressed when he thought that both his children were sons. “Our sons are here to collect debts…”

Qiao Jiusheng rolled her eyes.

“What are you trying to say?”

Fang Yusheng looked at Qiao Jiusheng and solemnly suggested, “Ah Sheng, I think we should have a daughter.”

Qiao Jiusheng chuckled.

She did not agree with Fang Yusheng’s suggestion.

“No!”

“Why?” Fang Yusheng pondered. Is a daughter not cute?

Qiao Jiusheng replied, “I’m afraid of pain.”

When she said that, Fang Yusheng recalled the hardships Qiao Jiusheng had suffered in her previous life. He suddenly felt that he was not human. “Then you don’t have to give birth.”

Seeing that he had given up so easily, Qiao Jiusheng felt that he was quite pitiful. She said again, “What if I give birth to another boy?”

Fang Yusheng didn’t dare to imagine that possibility.

“There are some people who desperately wish for a son but they may not be able to give birth to a son. There are also some who wish for a daughter, but they may not be able to give birth to a girl. I have a feeling that if we want another child, it will most likely be a boy.”

Fang Yusheng shrugged and said, “I think two sons are quite good. Really.” If another son came, he would break down.

Qiao Jiusheng found it funny.

“If you really like daughters, you can adopt one.”

Fang Yusheng considered this possibility and shook his head.

“Forget it.”

Two children were troublesome enough. If they were to adopt another child, how noisy would it be?

***

The next day, the sun was quite bright.

Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng returned to the house together and took out the baby clothes they had bought previously.

The two of them stood under the roof of the house behind the house. Qiao Jiusheng sat down and held a pair of scissors in her hand. She cut the tags on the children’s clothes. Fang Yusheng placed the clothes in the basin and stepped on them. As he did so, he said, “When are we going to visit Brother Wei’s place for fun?”

After recalling the memories of his previous life, Fang Yusheng no longer had any hostility toward Wei Shuyi.

Wei Shuyi had taken care of Qiao Jiusheng for twelve years. Fang Yusheng was sincerely grateful to him.

Furthermore, Qiao Jiusheng’s attitude towards Jiaren Wu was really strange. Fang Yusheng guessed that this Jiaren Wu was most likely related to Wei Shuyi. When he saw Qiao Jiusheng looking up at him, he explained, “I want to see him. The things he did for you are worth thanking him personally.”

When Qiao Jiusheng heard this, her heart warmed.

“Sure! He’ll probably rest this Saturday. I’ll call him later and make an early appointment.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Jiusheng threw another piece of clothing into the basin and heard Fang Yusheng ask. “Were Wei Shuyi and Jiaren Wu a couple in her previous life?”

Qiao Jiusheng acknowledged him.

Since Qiao Jiusheng knew Jiaren Wu, it meant that Wei Shuyi and Jiaren Wu loved each other deeply. However, Fang Yusheng remembered that in his previous life, when he had asked Qi Bufan to check the information about that nursing home, Qi Bufan had also checked Wei Shuyi’s information.

As far as Fang Yusheng knew, Wei Shuyi had never married.

Then, what’s going on between him and Jiaren Wu?

Fang Yusheng asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Was he not together with Jiaren Wu?”

Qiao Jiusheng suddenly put down the scissors and clothes. She looked up at the few cabbages in the yard and sighed with emotion. Seeing her reaction, Fang Sheng also slowed down his pace. After a moment of silence, Qiao Jiusheng said, “Brother Wei and Jiaren Wu were indeed a couple.”

Fang Yusheng knew that she had something else to say, so he did not disturb her.

Indeed, she had more to say. She added, “From what I know, Jiaren Wu was Brother Wei’s lover when he was young. However, they did not get together.”

For the sake of Jiaren Wu, Wei Shuyi had never gotten married. It was obvious that he loved her. In that case, there was probably no cheating involved. Thus, Fang Yusheng asked, “Why?” There weren’t many factors that could stop a couple who truly loved each other from being together. At most, they would be separated by life and death.

Qiao Jiusheng sighed before saying, “That’s because Jiaren Wu died.”

Fang Yusheng narrowed his eyes.

As that gorgeous face flashed across his mind, Fang Yusheng couldn’t help but feel sorry for Jiaren Wu.

A beauty with a short life was the most heartbreaking.

“How did she die?” Fang Yusheng couldn’t help but ask.

Qiao Jiusheng said in an uncertain tone, “It seems like she jumped to her death.”

“Jumped off a building?” Fang Yusheng was stunned. “Miss Wu seems very talkative and doesn’t seem like someone who’s depressed. She should be a cheerful and straightforward woman. Why would someone with such a personality jump off a building?”

“I’m not sure either.” Qiao Jiusheng frowned and said in a low voice, “Brother Wei did not tell me in detail about Jiaren Wu. He only chatted with me occasionally. What I know is very limited. I only know that Jiaren Wu’s death made Brother Wei feel very guilty. There seemed to be some misunderstanding between them. Brother Wei probably thought that Jiaren Wu had betrayed him, but after the incident, he realized that she had always loved him.

“As for why she jumped off the building and what the reason was, Big Brother Wei did not tell me.” Qiao Jiusheng looked at Fang Yusheng and continued, “Talking about Jiaren Wu’s death was basically stabbing a knife into Big Brother Wei’s heart.”

Qiao Jiusheng could not bear to ask such a question.

The pain of rubbing salt into a wound was something that people would not understand if they had never experienced it.

“If I had known earlier that I could be reborn, I would have asked him clearly.” That way, in this life, she could tell Big Brother Wei in advance before all the mistakes happened. This way, the couple might be able to have a complete life.

Fang Yusheng did not agree with her.

He was only thinking that he should help the two of them. Before everything happened, he had to take precautions beforehand. If Jiaren Wu could avoid death in this lifetime, it could be considered as returning Wei Shuyi’s favor to Ah Sheng in the previous lifetime.

Fang Yusheng returned to his senses and asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Are you done? Call your Brother Wei after you’re done.”

“Two more.”

After cutting the tags, Qiao Jiusheng held her stomach and slowly made a call.

Wei Shuyi was surprised when he heard that Qiao Jiusheng was going to visit his house this weekend. He asked her, “Did your jealous lover allow you to come?”

“He will come with me.”

Wei Shuyi was even more surprised. “Did he take the wrong medicine?”

Wei Shuyi wasn’t stupid. He had sensed Fang Yusheng’s hostility toward him.

Qiao Jiusheng was a little embarrassed. “Just take it that he took the wrong medicine.”

“Fine.”

Wei Shuyi could not help but warn Qiao Jiusheng. “The next time you see me, if he talks to me in that tone again, he can forget about coming to my house again.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Jiusheng told Fang Yusheng Wei Shuyi’s exact words.

When Fang Yusheng heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. “I thought he had ill intentions toward you.”

Qiao Jiusheng rolled her eyes.

“He wouldn’t be interested in a fool like me.”

Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

Her words were a trap.

In the blink of an eye, Friday arrived. Fang Yusheng was very concerned about visiting Wei Shuyi’s house the next day. Due to this, he especially went to the mall and bought a lot of things. As he held a pile of branded goods, Fang Yusheng’s heart bled. These items had cost him all his hard-earned money!

Even so, he still went to buy two more bottles of wine.

***

The next day, Fang Yusheng drove Qiao Jiusheng to Wei Shuyi’s house.

Wei Shuyi had been waiting at the entrance of the district for a long time. When he saw them, he greeted the security guards and entered the district together in their car. The car stopped at the open-air parking lot below the district. Wei Shuyi then led them upstairs. At this moment, he saw Fang Yusheng opening the trunk from the corner of his eye and was quite surprised.

It was fine as long as he came. Why did he bring gifts?

When did Fang Yusheng become so polite?

When he saw Fang Yusheng taking out bags with branded logos from the trunk, Wei Shuyi seemed to have fallen into a trance.

Fang Yusheng then handed those things to him and smiled with extreme gratitude and sincerity. He even said, “Brother Wei, the last time I visited you, I didn’t have time to buy gifts. This time, I just bought some. They are all practical. Don’t think it’s too little.”

Wei Shuyi was dumbfounded.

His monthly salary was only about 8,000 yuan. With the money he earned from investing, he could earn 700,000 to 800,000 yuan a year. He had a car, a house, and savings. His life was also considered small. He did not pursue branded goods. He just bought one or two luxurious items a month. However, he had never bought so many expensive items at once!

Wei Shuyi had long heard Qiao Jiusheng complain that Fang Yusheng was a miser, but now…

Wei Shuyi looked at the pile of branded gifts in front of him and felt that it was going to rain soon.

“No.” Wei Shuyi’s expression turned serious. He carefully asked Fang Yusheng, “Mr. Fang, is there a misunderstanding between us?” Could this be hush money?

Fang Yusheng’s expression froze. He gritted his teeth and said, “Just take it that I have too much money and nowhere to spend it…”

Wei Shuyi suspiciously looked at him before his gaze landed on Qiao Jiusheng’s face.

Qiao Jiusheng chuckled. After a while, she regained her composure and said to Wei Shuyi, “Yusheng wants to thank you for your help. Brother Wei, please accept it.”

Hearing that, Wei Shuyi temporarily dispelled his doubts.

Initially, he had only planned to cook a simple meal. However, with Fang Yusheng’s actions, Wei Shuyi felt embarrassed to not add a few more dishes.

When Fang Yusheng saw the table full of delicious delicacies but that most of them were bland, he felt a sense of unease for the first time.

He felt embarrassed and said to Wei Shuyi, “Brother Wei, you’re too kind. There’s so much. How can we finish it?”

Wei Shuyi replied, “I made it casually. I heard from Ah Sheng that your stomach is not good. These are all lightly flavored, and you should be able to eat them.”

Fang Yusheng thought: Brother Wei is such a good person!

After dinner, Fang Yusheng asked Wei Shuyi, “Do you usually stay at home during weekends?”

Wei Shuyi said, “No, I go out and have a party with my friends on Saturday nights.” Then he thought of something and said, “There’s a party tonight. A friend of mine is getting married. It’s a bachelor party. I haven’t been to a bachelor party before. Since I have nothing to do today, I agreed to go there.”

Qiao Jiusheng suddenly said, “Bachelor parties nowadays are very messy.”

Wei Shuyi was puzzled. “How messy can they be?”

Fang Yusheng also looked at Qiao Jiusheng in confusion. “How messy are they? Do you know? Have you participated in one before?”

Qiao Jiusheng’s heart skipped a beat when she saw their reactions.

Afraid that she would scare them, Qiao Jiusheng did not explain in detail. She only said, “Anyway, it’s foul. It’s a bar…” She had attended a few of her friends’ bachelorette parties before, and she was really bold and unrestrained.

Hearing that, Wei Shuyi felt relieved and stopped thinking.

He had thought that it would be chaotic. If that were the case, he would have called and rejected his friend’s invitation.
