Chapter 229: Neither Is Good

Qiao Jiusheng’s gaze was complicated. When she thought of Fang Mu’s character, she found it hard to explain.

Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin were really compatible. One had tried to kill his brother and his father, and the other had killed her sister and her own son. Qiao Jiusheng shrugged and touched her stomach. She did not think too much about it as she should not lead her child astray.

“Oh right! I’ve already made an appointment for tomorrow. Ah Sheng, let’s go to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup.” It had been half a month, and it was time to check the fetal development. The appointment was the day after tomorrow, but a day had already passed by like this.

Qiao Jiusheng was surprised. “When did you make the appointment?”

“When you and Aunt Xu went to pick the lotus weeds, I set the appointment at ten tomorrow morning.”

He was quite considerate.

Qiao Jiusheng nodded. She could not wait to know her little one’s development.

***

After eating the meals, they returned to their house. The sky had already become bright.

Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng took a hot shower and fell asleep on the bed. They slept until two in the afternoon.

Aunt Jin made lunch without waking them.

Seeing them come downstairs, she quickly brought the food out.

Qiao Jiusheng was starving. She buried her head in her food and did not say a word. Fang Yusheng slowly ate as well. He glanced at Qiao Jiusheng, who was eating as if there were no tomorrow, from the corner of his eye. He was a little envious of her, but also relieved. Indeed, a pregnant woman could eat.

Qiao Jiusheng was full. She drank a mouthful of water and said, “Sleeping, eating, and being full is just comfortable.” Suddenly, her expression changed. Under Fang Yusheng’s shocked gaze, she hurriedly ran to the toilet on the first floor and vomited violently on the toilet seat.

Fang Yusheng quickly put down his chopsticks and walked into the toilet to massage her back.

He took a tissue to wipe the corners of Qiao Jiusheng’s mouth. Qiao Jiusheng fell on his shoulder, her breathing a little chaotic. “I ate for nothing. It’s a waste of food.”

Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows and disagreed with her.

“Eat something to feel better.”

After Qiao Jiusheng recovered, Fang Yusheng held her hand and walked out.

Aunt Jin worriedly looked at her. “Madam, if you vomit like this, you will lose weight.”

During this period, Qiao Jiusheng had become much thinner, and the flesh on her face had decreased. Her figure was originally slender and graceful, and after vomiting for many days, it had become even thinner. Her body under the pure cotton dress looked even thinner. Fang Yusheng could hold her waist with both hands.

After vomiting, Qiao Jiusheng felt much better and was in good spirits. However, Fang Yusheng was still worried.

“Aunt Jin, please make some nutritious porridge.”

Even if Qiao Jiusheng would vomit after eating the porridge, it would be good if the food could stay in her stomach for a while.

Aunt Jin asked for Qiao Jiusheng’s opinion. “Madam, can I make some stomach nourishing porridge? You keep vomiting, and your stomach is injured. It’s good to drink some stomach nourishing porridge. It’s nutritious and easy to digest. What do you think?”

Not wanting to let Fang Yusheng and Aunt Jin down, Qiao Jiusheng nodded. “Okay.”

There were a lot of fruits in the fridge. Fang Yusheng made a fruit platter for her. “Eat this first.” The fruits were sweet and sour.

Qiao Jiusheng took the fruit platter and sat on the wooden stairs at the roof of the backyard. As she ate, she narrowed her eyes and looked at the fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden in the backyard. Fang Yusheng sat down beside her. He reached out and placed his hand on her lower abdomen, gently touching it. The corners of his lips curled up, and he softly said, “Be good. Treat your mother better. If you dare torture her, I’ll torture you when you come out.”

Qiao Jiusheng burst out laughing. “Don’t scare him so much that he doesn’t dare to come out.”

“How dare he!”

Qiao Jiusheng shook her head and took a piece of pineapple honey before finishing it in a few bites. She liked to play with the core inside the pineapple honey. It was smooth and felt comfortable.

“How is your father?”

Fang Yusheng had already phoned the hospital. When he heard Qiao Jiusheng ask this question, he honestly replied, “He couldn’t accept reality and blew up at the nurse a few times.” Fang Yusheng sneered. “He hasn’t recovered his strength yet. When he has the strength, he can smash everything in the house.”

Touching the smooth core, Qiao Jiusheng asked Fang Yusheng, “Does your father know that Fang Mu was behind it?”

“So what if he does?” Fang Yusheng also ate a piece of pineapple honey and played with it like Qiao Jiusheng. “Everyone knows that Fang Mu is his most valued child. Fang Mu has no motive to harm him. Besides, Fang Mu has evidence of his alibi. Even if the old man suspects him, there’s nothing he can do. Besides, the forest is huge, so it’s normal to have two snakes.”

Fang Yusheng stopped laughing and narrowed his eyes. His smile was thought-provoking. “If he’s bitten, he can only admit his bad luck. He has to suffer this in silence.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng revealed a subtle look of pity.

“It’s quite pitiful.”

***

At night, Fang Yusheng went to the hospital to visit Fang Pingjue.

Fang Pingjue’s expression turned ugly when he saw his eldest son.

One of his sons wanted to kill him, while the other was indifferent to his life and death. On one hand, Fang Pingjue felt that his two sons were hateful, but on the other hand, he felt that his life was pathetic. Therefore, when he saw Fang Yusheng, he naturally did not have a good expression.

He was injured and could not get up. If he could, he would probably scoop up the vase on the bedside table and smash Fang Yusheng to death.

Fang Yusheng understood Fang Pingjue’s hateful gaze, but he pretended not to understand.

“Dad, how do you feel today?” Like a filial and obedient boy, he stood by the bed with a worried and heartbroken expression.

There were also a few directors in the room and Fang Pingjue’s business friends.

Fang Pingjue hated Fang Yusheng to death, but in front of outsiders, he could only hide all his hatred and dissatisfaction. “Hmph…” Fang Pingjue wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, only a low moan filled with pain escaped his mouth.

The amputated leg hurt again.

Fang Yusheng glanced at the faces of the directors behind him. Unsurprisingly, he saw faces filled with worry and deep thought.

Fang Pingjue was doomed this time.

He would not be able to manage the company in the future.

Then, who would take over the Fang Corporation?

Was it the current Vice President Fang Mu? Or the shareholder Fang Yusheng?

In their hearts, everyone thought that Fang Mu would be the final winner. First, Fang Mu had done a lot for the Fang Corporation over the years. He was familiar with all of the company’s matters. It was beneficial for everyone to let him take over the company. Furthermore, although the Eldest Young Master was born by the first wife, he was blind.

Giving a big company to a blind person, what would that be. It would be inviting the company’s doom.

Everyone understood this logic and labeled Fang Yusheng as a failure. When they looked at Fang Yusheng again, their gazes were more sympathetic and cold.

Fang Yusheng saw their reactions through his sunglasses. He was calm.

Do they really think I want the Fang Group?

Fang Yusheng did not fancy the measly Fang Corporation.

Fang Yusheng could not see, so he could not serve Fang Pingjue tea or water, but he could still massage his legs. When Fang Mu rushed to the hospital after work, he saw Fang Yusheng pinching Fang Pingjue’s legs. It was a hateful scene. Fang Pingjue was in so much pain that he was twitching. The directors were consoling Fang Pingjue and saying—

“President Fang is really lucky. Young Master is filial.”

“Exactly! I heard that when President Fang met with the accident, it was Young Master who risked his life to help President Fang by sucking the snake venom out with his mouth.”

“Yeah, yeah!”

“This snake venom is very powerful, right? Young Master even dares suck the venom out. President Fang, you raised a good son!”

Fang Pingjue remained silent. Fang Yusheng lowered his head and continued to massage his father’s other leg.

Good son!

Fang Pingjue recalled how Fang Yusheng had watched him bitterly cry on the ground. It was fine if Fang Pingjue had died or survived, but his son had even threatened him and forced him to kneel and admit his mistake. There was no such a good son!

But could Fang Pingjue say it?

He could not!

If word got out, everyone would only say that Fang Pingjue deserved it.

Fang Pingjue was also clear about this, so he could only open his eyes and look at the ceiling, listening to the directors’ nonsense.

Fang Yusheng listened to their discussion with a faint smile.

This wave of good feelings is not a loss!

Fang Mu heard the directors’ praises of Fang Yusheng and frowned. No one knew what had happened in the room that night, but Fang Mu did not believe that Fang Yusheng was a kind person.

Fang Mu pushed the door open and the conversation in the room stopped.

When everyone saw him, they said, “President Fang.”

Very good. Even the word “vice” has been removed.

Fang Yusheng faintly smiled. Fang Pingjue’s heart probably bled when he heard this name.

Fang Mu nodded at the directors and walked to the other side of the bed. He lowered his head and asked Fang Pingjue, “Dad, are you feeling better today?”

Great, another ingrate!

Fang Pingjue blinked. It was painful. The pain came in waves. When it was very painful, he would sweat.

When Fang Mu saw this, he said, “It seems like you’re much better today. You look quite energetic.”

Fang Pingjue: “…”

“You’re sweating. Let me help you wipe the sweat.” Fang Mu took the wash basin on the cabinet and poured a basin of warm water. He rolled up his shirt and wiped Fang Pingjue’s upper body. Fang Yusheng did not continue to massage his father’s legs and gave the stage for the performance to Fang Mu.

Seeing Fang Mu do this, the directors were grateful for flattering Fang Pingjue and Fang Mu!

“President Fang, how did you educate the children? Why are your children so sensible and filial? Those rascals of ours only know how to eat and drink.”

“They say that daughters would be clingy and stay with fathers all the time. The last time, when I was hospitalized for anesthesia, my daughter even went overseas to watch some Taylor concert. Comparing the two really makes me angry!”

“Let’s not talk about it. If we talk about it, I’ll be envious of Old Fang.”

Fang Pingjue had difficulties that he could not say.

When Fang Mu heard what the directors said, a smile appeared on his cold face. This smile made Fang Pingjue’s hair stand on end.

Fang Yusheng did not smile, but he pitied Fang Pingjue very much.

The directors sat for a while before getting up to leave. In the ward, only Fang Yusheng, Fang Mu, and Fang Pingjue were left. Fang Yusheng’s phone rang. It was a call from Qiao Jiusheng. He hung up and said to Fang Pingjue, “Dad, rest well. I’ll visit you with Ah Sheng tomorrow.”

He was about to leave.

Fang Pingjue, who was originally lifeless, suddenly had the strength to hold Fang Yusheng’s hand.

Fang Yusheng stopped in his tracks. Fang Mu looked over as well.

Fang Pingjue’s lips quivered as he gently spat out a few words, “Don’t, don’t go.” Fang Pingjue was afraid to stay in the room with Fang Mu. Although Fang Yusheng and Fang Mu were not good people, staying with two inhuman things could serve as a balance.

If Fang Yusheng left and only Fang Mu, that venomous snake, stayed behind, Fang Pingjue would naturally be worried.

Fang Mu narrowed his eyes and did not speak. However, he looked at Fang Pingjue in deep thought.

Is he afraid of staying with me?

A few thoughts flashed past Fang Mu’s mind.

What does he know?

Fang Yusheng could not stay here forever. He still had to go back and accompany Ah Sheng.

Fang Pingjue’s eyes flashed, and he said, “Call your Aunt Xu and ask her to come here.”

Fang Yusheng asked Fang Mu to make the call. Fang Mu silently made the call.

After Xu Pingfei rushed over to the room, Fang Yusheng stood up and left. Seeing him leave, Fang Mu also stood up. Before he left, he reminded Fang Pingjue, “Dad, rest well and don’t let your thoughts run wild.”

The brothers left together and stood in the elevator. The atmosphere was quiet.

“Your acting is not bad.”

Without anyone else around, Fang Mu could not be bothered to act with Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng chuckled and replied, “That’s not as exciting as your director’s scenes.”

Fang Mu smiled coldly.

“Big Brother.” Fang Mu turned around and faced Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng faced the elevator door, but his expression and actions did not change. Fang Mu took a step closer, his long eyelashes projected into his cold eyes, adding a hint of danger to him. He leaned his head close to Fang Yusheng’s ear and softly asked, “Does the taste of snake venom feel good?”

Fang Yusheng pursed his lips. “Fang Mu.” His calm voice was void of emotions. It was like a straight line, but one that held tightly to a person’s heart. Fang Mu’s brows furrowed, and the raised ends of his eyes dipped. They lost some of their arrogance and added a hint of caution.

He watched as Fang Yusheng leaned toward him. He thought about it and did not retreat.

He’s just a blind person. What waves can he stir?
