Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 355: Obscenely Luxurious

Jiaren Wu really liked this person.

She liked him a lot more than she thought.

She thought: Wait a little longer. If I can complete the mission and survive, I’ll propose to him.

“Why are you staring at me?”

Wei Shuyi had long noticed her little actions. He had been holding it in and pretending not to know.

However, her eyes grew brighter and brighter until he couldn’t ignore her anymore. He couldn’t pretend anymore.

Jiaren Wu said seriously, “I just wanted to see you.” She held his hand and said, “I can’t get enough of you.”

Wei Shuyi wanted to laugh.

He tilted his head and did not see the dazzling smile of Jiaren Wu that he had imagined.

It looked like she was going to cry.

Her eyes were moist. She was smiling, but Wei Shuyi only noticed her tears.

“You, what’s wrong?”

Wei Shuyi loosened his grip, and the hair in his hand fell to her shoulders.

Her hair covered her forehead and the side of her face, revealing a pair of teary, hazy eyes. No matter how one looked at them, they would make one emotional.

Shaking her head, Jiaren Wu said nothing.

However, Wei Shuyi felt uneasy. No matter how many times he asked, she refused to answer him.

“I suddenly thought of my younger brother.” Jiaren Wu rubbed her eyes and looked a little lonely. She said, “If only my younger brother were still alive and could see the person his sister loves. How great would that have been?”

Wei Shuyi believed her words.

“Then let’s pay our respects to him tomorrow before going to Xiao Sheng’s house, okay?”

Ever since Wu Jiacheng had been buried, Jiaren Wu hadn’t dared to pay respects to him.

She was afraid and wanted to say forget it.

At this moment, Wei Shuyi grabbed her right hand and led her home.

Warmth spread through her entire body from their intertwined hands.

The fear and guilt in her heart faded a little.

“Sure.” She mustered her courage.

Wei Shuyi nodded and brought her home.

The next day, they woke up early in the morning. After breakfast, they went to a wedding and funeral store to buy some paper money and candles. Then, they drove to the place where Wu Jiacheng was buried. Wu Jiacheng wasn’t buried in Binjiang City. Jiaren Wu had sent him back to his grandfather’s hometown in the countryside.

Jiaren Wu’s grandfather had passed away the second year after Wu Jiacheng’s death. She no longer had any relatives in the countryside.

Wu Jiacheng’s grave was very close to his grandpa’s grave. Binjiang City’s terrain consisted of flat plains and hills. In the countryside where Jiaren Wu’s grandpa lived were two or three small hills. Wu Jiacheng and his grandpa were both buried on the hill behind their hometown.

In the summer, wild grass grew on the slopes.

Both Wei Shuyi and Jiaren Wu had worn sneakers and long pants. They held small wooden sticks in their hands, and Wei Shuyi walked in front. As he walked, he used the wooden sticks to chase away the poisonous snakes and insects in the grass.

Finally, they arrived at the place where Wu Jiacheng was buried.

Wu Jiacheng, who had been cremated, was buried under a small pile of dirt in front of them. The grave was very small, and weeds had grown around the cement tombstone. Wei Shuyi turned his head to look at Jiaren Wu. When he saw that she was staring at the tombstone in a daze, he squeezed her hand before letting go.

Wei Shuyi took out a small shovel from his bag. He squatted on the ground and plucked all the weeds around Wu Jiacheng’s tombstone.

There was actually a wild lily growing on Wu Jiacheng’s grave.

Wei Shuyi looked at the flower and raised his head to ask Jiaren Wu, “Should I pluck this flower?”

As she stared at the lily, Jiaren Wu’s eyes became moist. “Take it back and nurture it.”

“Your house or mine?”

Jiaren Wu said, “Yours.”

“Okay.”

After removing the weeds, Wei Shuyi took out a lighter and knelt in front of the tombstone with Jiaren Wu. He lit a candle and burned some paper money.

Jiaren Wu, who had always been sharp-tongued, was especially quiet today. When the paper money was almost finished, she said to the tombstone, “Chengcheng, Sister brought your future brother-in-law to see you.”

Wei Shuyi was moved.

He looked up at the tombstone.

“I’ve introduced him to you at home. His name is Wei Shuyi, and he’s a doctor. He specializes in cardiology.”

As she passed the last piece of yellow paper into the flames, Jiaren Wu looked up at the rising smoke. She watched it being blown higher by the wind and suddenly said, “Look at how high the smoke is floating.”

Wei Shuyi suddenly thought of the question Jiaren Wu had asked him a long time ago.

He smiled and said, “Yes, they’re going to heaven.”

Jiaren Wu was stunned for a moment, then a relieved smile appeared on her face.

“That’s good.”

The two of them uprooted the wild lily with its roots and soil and used a plastic bag to retain its moisture. Then, they went to pay respects to Jiaren Wu’s grandfather. Finally, they returned to Binjiang City. Originally, they planned to go to Fang Yusheng’s house in the early afternoon. However, they had brought back a lily and had to move it into the flower pot. Thus, they decided to go home first and visit Dragon Harbor later in the afternoon.

They bought a flower pot in the greenhouse and transplanted the lily into it.

Lilies liked shades. Jiaren Wu placed the flower pot in a corner of the living room where it could bask in the morning sun but still enjoy the shade.

The two of them changed before heading to Dragon Harbor.

With Fang Yusheng’s permission, the security guards at the entrance allowed them to enter the villa.

The road inside the Dragon Harbor villa was very wide. It was a two-way road.

The further one walked into the villa, the quieter the environment became. Naturally, the more expensive it became too. People like Fang Yusheng, who bought a piece of land in Dragon Harbor and built their own house, had to pay higher prices. The cars drove from Mansion Number One to Mansion Number Nine.

When they passed by Mansion Number Seven, Wei Shuyi turned his head to look at the house. It was a rather unique four-story villa, and a large magnolia tree was located in the middle.

Wei Shuyi asked Jiaren Wu, “Does your boss live here?”

Jiaren Wu nodded. “Yes, he lives with his son.”

“And his wife?”

“I’ve never seen her before. From my observations, I don’t think he has a wife.”

“So how did the kid get here?”

“I don’t know.”

As they spoke, they arrived at Fang Yusheng’s door.

Wei Shuyi stopped the car. Jiaren Wu had just gotten out of the car when the gates of the Fang Family villa door opened.

Fang Yusheng was a stingy person, but this house cost a lot of money. Wei Shuyi stood outside the door and looked up. He didn’t see the house inside. It was obvious how big the villa was. The two of them followed Qi Bufan inside. When they entered the villa, they realized that it was like another universe.

Inside, there was a cement road, and a car parked by the roadside…

A familiar-looking electric car.

Fang Yusheng was still that stingy Fang Yusheng. Even if he had a very rich family, he didn’t forget to bring that lousy electric car with him.

Qi Bufan sat in the driver’s seat and invited them to sit in the car.

The weather was hot and the sun was high. Fang Yusheng had asked Qi Bufan to install sunscreen around the electric car.

Although the car was old, it still had everything that it should have.

The sunscreen was transparent, and the car drove on a small path. On both sides of the path were green lawns. The right lawn was about two meters wide, and on the other side of the lawn was a man-made lake. The surface of the lake was about 200 square meters. The water was clear and almost transparent.

Through the sunscreen, they could see the fish swimming in the lake and a few white swans.

This lake was a huge project, and it would cost a lot of money.

Across the lake was Fang Yusheng’s home.

This villa was only two stories tall and was a Chinese-style courtyard house. In the middle of the courtyard was a man-made, curved canal running through it. Under the canal were smooth pebbles. Looking down, one could see water lilies and small river prawns.

Three wooden bridges had been built over the ditch, and a couple of West Prefecture crabapple trees had been planted on either side of the little ditch. The north side of the ditch had been designed to look like a casual coffee pavilion, and to the right was a children’s playground. There were small wooden pews, wooden swings, and a table tennis table in the lace as well.

After passing through the courtyard, they saw the kitchen, the dining room, and the large living room, where one greeted friends. The back of the living room was a pool shaped like a violin.

There was also a vegetable garden in the backyard of the villa. The vegetable garden was surrounded by a wooden fence. Behind the small vegetable garden was an even larger grass field. Wei Shuyi thought that it was a golf course, but Fang Yusheng said, “If it’s not a golf course. It’s an empty field that we grew grass on.”

“What’s the use of growing grass?”

Fang Yusheng said, “When the children grow up, I plan to buy them two colts. Horses need to eat grass.”

Wei Shuyi and Jiaren Wu were shocked.

It was obscenely luxurious!

Wei Shuyi, who thought that he was broad-minded, was jealous of Fang Yusheng now.

Under Wei Shuyi’s and Jiaren Wu’s envious gazes, Fang Yusheng felt extremely proud. Back then, he had spent a large sum of money to buy this piece of land and build this place into its current state. He had felt heartache for a long time.

Fang Yusheng was in a good mood after being admired and envied by Wei Shuyi and Jiaren Wu.

“As expected of Young Master Fang. You are rich.” Wei Shuyi was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. Jiaren Wu also nodded in agreement.

Fang Yusheng pretended to be indifferent and waved his hand. He said, “It’s nothing. After all, I have a wife and children to raise. I made the house more spacious so that my sons, their wives, and grandchildren can have a place to stay in the future.”

The land in Binjiang City would only become more and more expensive in the future. It was a good deal for a person to build a house and have three generations living together.

Wei Shuyi, who had yet to marry his wife and didn’t know if he would have a son, felt sour after hearing this. He couldn’t help but mock Fang Yusheng, “You’re thinking too far ahead.”

Fang Yusheng glanced at Wei Shuyi from the corner of his eye. He laughed and said, “That’s not far. It’s only twenty years.”

Both Wei Shuyi and Jiaren Wu chose to ignore him.

The two of them turned around and left the racecourse, returning to the villa.

Jiaren Wu prepared dinner with Aunt Jin. The six-month-old children were lying on a soft cushion. The brothers were playing a game where they kicked each other’s faces. They were both wearing anklets made of pure silver with a bell hanging from them. Their names were written on the bells.

Wei Shuyi ran over and picked up the kid who had the word “Cheng” written on the bell.

Fang Zicheng was a very obedient and quiet child. When Wei Shuyi hugged him, he neither cried nor made a fuss. If Wei Shuyi teased him, he would curl his lips coldly, but quickly suppressed it.

Jiaren Wu pinched Fang Zicheng’s chin and said, “When this child grows up, he will definitely be an aloof child.”

“Is that so?”

“At such a young age, he’s already smiling so coldly. When he grows up, who would dare to get close to him?”

She also knelt on the ground and picked up Fang Zikai, who was having fun by himself. She raised Fang Zikai with both hands. Fang Zikai seemed to be as energetic as a chicken. His legs kicked the air, and he laughed as he kicked.

He was completely different from his brother.

“Given Kai Kai’s personality, I’m sure he’ll be very lively when he grows up. He’ll have a lot of friends too.” She looked at Fang Zikai and made a smug sound with her tongue. Hearing the sound, Fang Zikai started laughing again.

Fang Yusheng reached out to touch Fang Zikai’s head and said, “Little fools are happier.”

He still preferred the quiet Fang Zicheng.

The adults played with the little fellows for a while. Then, they heard the doorbell ring.

Qi Bufan had been quite busy recently, and the military base was about to be built. He had been tapping on his laptop all day long. When he heard the doorbell, he put down his computer and turned on the camera screen. Glancing at it, he turned to Fang Yusheng. “Sir, Young Master Dongli is here.”

Fang Yusheng said, “Invite him in.”

Qi Bufan then drove a broken electric car to pick him up.

Wei Shuyi suddenly asked Fang Yusheng, “Young Master Dongli is?”

“Our neighbor who lives in Mansion Number 7, the young master of the Dongli family.” After saying that, Fang Yusheng pointed at Jiaren Wu, who was teasing the children, and said to Wei Shuyi, “Jiaren Wu’s boss is that young master’s father.”

Wei Shuyi couldn’t help but ask, “How is Mr. Dongli?”

Fang Yusheng fell silent.

Jiaren Wu was too far away to hear what they were saying.

Fang Yusheng patted Wei Shuyi’s shoulder and said, “Brother Wei, come with me.”

Wei Shuyi felt strange, but he still carried Fang Zicheng and followed Fang Yusheng to the courtyard.

Fang Yusheng sat down in the courtyard. Without waiting for Wei Shuyi to ask, he said, “Big Brother Wei, I’ve been suspecting that there’s another reason she approached Mr. Dongli.”

Wei Shuyi’s expression changed.

“What do you mean?”

Fang Yusheng only said, “Dongli Shenghua started his empire by selling drugs.”

Wei Shuyi sat up with a serious expression on his face.

“Is the news reliable?”

“Absolutely.”

Many details flashed through Wei Shuyi’s mind.

When Jiaren Wu had hit Yang Shu, she had coincidentally bumped into a police leader who came to inspect the scene. She had then gone to look for a job and happened to go to Dongli Shenghua’s company.

Was that really just a coincidence?
