Chapter 845: You Should Lose Weight

He chose something that didn’t look too expensive and examined it carefully. It was a clock hanging on the wall. It was much cheaper, but still worth more than four hundred thousand.

Fang Yusheng pursed his lips. Qiao Jiusheng could hear him cursing. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully, confirming that he was cursing. “It’s a robbery. This vicious wretch.” Qiao Jiusheng couldn’t help but turn around and say to him, “Fang Yusheng, remember, you’re my man. How can your words be so vulgar?”

Fang Yusheng’s expression turned cold. He changed his words and said in a genteel manner, “Snatch mud from a swallow’s mouth, cut iron needles, and scrape gold off a Buddha’s face to search for it in detail. It’s impossible to find it in the open. Look for a bowl of beans in the kiln, split the essence of meat on a heron’s leg, and get the fat from a mosquito’s stomach. To think that the old sir would do it.”

Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.

Fang Yusheng had said in the past that he had received a British education. At first, he didn’t know much about China’s ancient culture. Later on, when he returned to China, he was influenced by what he had seen and heard. He read some books and understood some of the profound ancient culture of China.

Then the question was, how could a serious person like him be able to recite such a song?

Qiao Jiusheng had heard of these words before. These words were specially used to mock those greedy and despicable people.

She stared at Fang Yusheng. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that this person was truly a weirdo.

“Why are you looking at me?” Fang Yusheng sensed her gaze. He had a nagging feeling that his little wife was looking at him strangely.

Qiao Jiusheng shook her head and said, “I just feel that you’re quite talented.”

Fang Yusheng smiled. “You finally realized.”

Qiao Jiusheng was too embarrassed to praise him again. She was afraid that if she did, Fang Yusheng would soar into the sky.

On the way to the wedding, Qiao Jiusheng drove. Fang Yusheng looked through all the gifts and finally decided to buy the most expensive watch for Zhuang Long. He clicked on the payment button, but saw that the watch had already been bought.

Fang Yusheng was stunned. Who was this?

What a rich and imposing person!

He settled for the next best thing. He bought a ring said to have been worn by a certain king in the history of Country F for Zhuang Long.

When they arrived at Zhuang Long’s house, Qiao Jiusheng got out of the car and looked up at his lawn. There were indeed not many people, only a dozen or so. The family walked in, and Butler Gray welcomed them personally. On the way, Qiao Jiusheng asked Gray, “How many guests are there today?”

Gray said, “We’ve sent out a total of forty invitations.” Gray didn’t mention how many could come.

The owners of these 40 invitations must be the people Zhuang Long and his wife trusted the most. At such an important moment, no one should be absent. As they spoke, they had already walked to the lawn.

On the lawn were forty chairs, each with a name written on it.

Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng brought the children to their seats and sat down. The four of them sat in a row. After Fang Zikai sat down, he felt a little hot. He took off his suit jacket, revealing his shirt.

He looked down at his round belly and felt a little sad. He seemed to have gained weight recently.

When Fang Zikai looked up, he realized that there was someone behind him, who seemed to be sizing him up.

Fang Zikai turned around and looked at that person.

It was an especially cold-looking big sister. She was wearing a long red gown with a little less fabric on the chest, so she had a furry shawl draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a pair of red pendant earrings, and her long chestnut-colored hair was styled into large curls that fell on her right shoulder.

When Fang Zikai looked at her, she was looking at him. Her gaze was quite cold, like snow in winter. It was a magical power that could freeze people.

In an instant, Fang Zikai could hear his heart beating wildly.

He was attracted to good looks. Everyone who was good-looking was someone he liked. Fang Zikai felt a little embarrassed by the woman’s gaze. He tried his best to smile better. Since he had gained weight, his big eyes turned into narrow slits when he smiled again.

“Why are you staring at me?” Fang Zikai asked her with a smile.

The woman was a little surprised.

She looked Fang Zikai up and down a few more times. After she was done, she said, “Little Fatty, you should lose some weight.”

Fang Zikai was so provoked by the way he was called Little Fatty that he remained silent for a long time.

The woman lowered her head and began to type on her phone.

Suddenly, Fang Zikai’s earth-shattering cry rang out on the lawn.

His cries frightened everyone.

“What’s wrong?”

Hearing Fang Zikai’s cries, Qiao Jiusheng and Suzanne stopped talking and looked at him.

Fang Zikai cried pitifully. He pointed his chubby finger behind him at the woman, whose expression was still cold. Her expression would not change even if the wind blew. He cried, “She scolded me! She called me Little Fatty. She even asked me to lose weight!”

The group of people was speechless.

Qiao Jiusheng was in a difficult position. She was also a little angry.

Fang Zikai was a little fat, but she was an adult. Did she have to be calculative with a child? Qiao Jiusheng looked at that person. When she saw her face, the anger in her heart dissipated silently. She was good-looking, so it was understandable for her to be more vicious.

Seeing that his mother was refusing to seek justice for him, Fang Zikai felt even more aggrieved. He stood up, pointed at the woman, and said loudly, “So what if I’m fat! I gained weight with my own strength. Did I eat your rice? Or did I wear your clothes?”

That woman still looked as calm as ever.

Hearing Fang Zikai’s words, a trace of a mischievous smile flashed in her eyes. This smile was very faint, and many people didn’t notice it. She stared at the little fatty and said mercilessly, “You’re just occupying my vision.”

What she said made sense.

Fang Zikai was shocked by the woman’s ruthlessness.

Although the person being bullied was her own son, Qiao Jiusheng still wanted to laugh when she heard this.

She looked up at the woman in the red dress twice before saying, “Miss, don’t tease our child. He’s still young, and he’s very sensitive. If you say anything too harsh, he’ll take it seriously.” Qiao Jiusheng could tell that this woman was not bullying Fang Zikai. She was clearly teasing Fang Zikai.

Hearing this, the woman stopped playing.

She stood up.

Only then did Qiao Jiusheng realize that she was actually very tall. She was probably about the same height as Xiao Li.

The woman bent down and picked Fang Zikai up, who was pouting in anger. Fang Zikai was stunned for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed. “W-Why are you carrying me?!” Fang Zikai stammered.

The woman rubbed his head and said expressionlessly, “I want to hug you, but if you get any fatter, I won’t be able to carry you anymore.”

This sentence instantly made Fang Zikai beam with joy.

Fang Zikai wiped his eyes awkwardly and said, “Then next time, the next time you come to New York, you can carry me again. By then, I’ll definitely have lost weight.”
