Chapter 248: Do You Still Want to Break Your Hand?
“Weren’t you dead?”
Upon hearing Fang Mu’s words, Qiao Jiusheng wisely chose not to say anything.
She was wrong.
When Fang Mu saw that she was still going to play dumb with him, a sad expression appeared on his face.
Qiao Jiusheng looked at him with a calm gaze.
Is he in great pain now?
However, how could his heartache compare to her previous life? Qiao Jiusheng had been locked up in a room alone. She had looked at him on the television when he had gently said to Qiao Jiuyin, “I do.”
Fang Mu took a step forward. His eyes were fixed on Qiao Jiusheng’s unfamiliar face. How many unbelievable things had she experienced to have to change her appearance and hide? He did not dare to think too deeply about it, and the grief in his eyes deepened.
“Xiao Sheng…” Fang Mu reached out. Before his fingers could touch Qiao Jiusheng’s shoulder, Qiao Jiusheng took a step back.
When Fang Mu saw this, his heart suddenly emptied and started to ache.
There was half a step between them.
This space between them was safe and distant.
“Ha…” Fang Mu laughed self-deprecatingly. “Now, I have to call you sister-in-law, right?”
Qiao Jiusheng turned her head and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Then, she walked past Fang Mu.
She had just taken two to three steps when a black shadow suddenly covered her from behind. Then, she was hugged by a pair of fierce arms.
The man behind her tightly hugged her.
Qiao Jiusheng had once splashed and rolled around in this person’s arms.
She looked down at the hands on her abdomen. Without thinking, she raised her leg and stepped on Fang Mu’s foot. As she stepped on it, she said, “Fang Mu, let go of me. I’m your sister-in-law!” She thought that Fang Mu would be more rational after hearing this, but Fang Mu seemed to have eaten explosives; he hugged her even more tightly.
“Stop it.” Fang Mu’s heart ached when he heard the word sister-in-law. As he hugged Qiao Jiusheng, who was eager to cut ties with him, his eyes uncontrollably turned red. He placed his chin on Qiao Jiusheng’s shoulder and said softly, “Xiao Sheng, don’t pretend to not know me, okay?”
His humble tone made Qiao Jiusheng feel unfamiliar.
Suddenly, tears seemed to hit her neck.
Qiao Jiusheng was stunned; she stopped struggling.
He cried…
But so what?
How can he redeem the tears and blood I shed?
Soon, Qiao Jiusheng started to struggle hard again, but she did not succeed. She had to remind Fang Mu, “Second Brother, let go of me. This is a hospital. There are many people and eyes. You might not care, but I still want my face!” Heaven and earth could see that she really had no thoughts for Fang Mu. Her mind was filled with Fang Yusheng’s wild thoughts.
Fang Mu refused to let go and hugged her even more tightly.
“Xiao Sheng, tell me, what happened to you? You were alive all along. You didn’t die…” Fang Mu could not tell if he was relieved or sad. It was good that Qiao Jiusheng was alive. However, she had become his sister-in-law, and this made Fang Mu suffer.
The woman he had once loved so much that he wanted to marry her had become the woman of his enemy, his brother, in the blink of an eye and his sister-in-law. This was the most ironic thing in the world.
Fang Mu was unwilling to accept this devastating truth. “Why didn’t you come to find me? You’ve been wronged and bullied, so you could’ve come to find me. Why didn’t you look for me? Hmm?” As Fang Mu spoke, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes. His nasal voice was very heavy as he blamed Qiao Jiusheng with heartache and hatred. He said, “You’d rather look for that blind man than come find me…”
Qiao Jiusheng silently looked at her toes.
“I went to look for you,” Qiao Jiusheng suddenly said.
Fang Mu was stunned.
He suddenly let go of Qiao Jiusheng and pressed his hands on her shoulders as if he were afraid she would escape. Walking to the front of Qiao Jiusheng, Fang Mu lowered his head and stared at Qiao Jiusheng’s face. He asked anxiously and blankly, “When?”
Qiao Jiusheng shifted her gaze from her toes. She looked up, and her gaze landed on Fang Mu’s confused face. Smiling, she said in a very calm tone, “At your wedding with my sister.”
Fang Mu’s face turned pale.
Qiao Jiusheng smiled even more brightly and beautifully. That smile was familiar to Fang Mu, but her face was unfamiliar. Fang Mu looked at her smile and his heart tightened. He heard Qiao Jiusheng say, “I went to find you. I watched you put the ring on her finger and saw you kissing her.”
Qiao Jiusheng’s smile finally lost a little of its charm and turned a little bitter. She had gone to look for Fang Mu when she had been at her wit’s end, but Fang Mu’s actions had made her despair. If not for the fact that she had no other choice, Qiao Jiusheng would not have gone to look for Fang Yusheng.
At that time, in Qiao Jiusheng’s heart, Fang Yusheng was like a ravenous wolf that ate people.
Although he looked refined, Qiao Jiusheng knew better than anyone how vicious Fang Yusheng was.
She had come to find him at the risk of her life.
However, Qiao Jiusheng was lucky. She did not expect Fang Yusheng to forget the viciousness in his heart and fall in love with her. Qiao Jiusheng also did not expect that after experiencing the bitterness and long previous life, she would still be attracted to someone.
At the thought of this, Qiao Jiusheng felt mixed emotions.
Perhaps, her previous life had been too tough. So, in this life, God gave her Fang Yusheng.
Qiao Jiusheng’s gaze toward Fang Mu became clearer and clearer. She said, “Fang Mu, I went to look for you only for you to sprinkle salt on my wound again.”
Fang Mu’s face turned pale.
His face had been injured before, and now that it had lost its color, it looked especially funny and sad. “You… You came to find me?” His voice changed. He found it unbelievable and frustrating.
Qiao Jiusheng cynically smiled. “Yes, at that time, I was still imagining that you might discover that Qiao Jiuyin was not me. But what happened in the end?” Qiao Jiusheng stretched out her finger and poked Fang Mu’s chest. She said, “In your eyes, Qiao Jiusheng and Qiao Jiuyin are the same.”
Fang Mu shook his head. He subconsciously wanted to deny it. “No…” he said, but he did not know how to explain. He had long realized that there was something different about the ‘Qiao Jiusheng’ after the incident. He just felt that it was too unbelievable and did not dare to think too deeply about it.
Qiao Jiusheng did not take his excuses to heart.
She retracted her hand, and her expression turned serious. She clearly said to Fang Mu, “Also, please don’t use the word blind to describe my husband.”
Pointing at her heart, Qiao Jiusheng told Fang Mu, “From the day I married Fang Yusheng, he became the most important person in my life. As for you, you’re just an ex-boyfriend. Fang Yusheng is my man, the father of my child, and the person I love. No one is allowed to insult him in front of me, not even you.”
When Qiao Jiusheng said this, her expression was stern.
Her gaze was firm, serious, and her tone was domineering and serious.
She looked like she would tear apart anyone who dared to slander Fang Yusheng.
Fang Mu found it unbelievable that she was defending Fang Yusheng.
His pupils constricted, and his voice tightened. He asked Qiao Jiusheng in a cold tone, “Do you love him?” He refused to believe it, nor did he dare to believe it. Without waiting for Qiao Jiusheng to speak, he revealed a stubborn and crazy expression again. He said, “The person you love is me! Xiao Sheng, the person you love is Fang Mu, not Fang Yusheng!”
He roared.
Fang Mu’s eyes turned even redder. Before the accident last year, she had been sweet-talking to him. How could she fall in love with someone else in a short year?
Fang Mu had deliberately brought his name along just now, stubbornly wanting Qiao Jiusheng to acknowledge his words.
The more he acted like this, the more ridiculous and pathetic he looked.
Qiao Jiusheng shook her head and repeated, “No, Fang Yusheng is the person I love.” Seeing that Fang Mu did not believe her, Qiao Jiusheng had to say more. “Fang Mu, I once loved you.
“But now, I don’t love you anymore.”
With that, Qiao Jiusheng took advantage of Fang Mu’s daze to remove his hand from her shoulder. She strode past him and quickly walked toward the elevator.
Fang Mu would not let her go.
He suddenly turned around and quickly grabbed her wrist. He said to Qiao Jiusheng in a crazy tone, “No, Xiao Sheng, you must be mistaken. You love me, me! Look clearly, I’m Fang Mu, your Brother Mu! Did you forget that you promised to marry me! Xiao Sheng…”
Fang Mu pulled his hair out of his forehead and leaned his face close to Qiao Jiusheng. He anxiously said, “Look, look at this face. I’m Fang Mu! Xiao Sheng, look at me. Tell me, you and Fang Yusheng are just putting on a show, right?
“You don’t love Fang Yusheng at all, right? You were forced to be with him. You must have made a deal. Xiao Sheng, actually, you’ve always loved me!”
Fang Mu, who was flustered and lowly, grabbed Qiao Jiusheng’s hand as if he were holding onto his last straw.
His expression made Qiao Jiusheng feel afraid.
She suspected he was crazy.
Qiao Jiusheng tried to pull Fang Mu’s hand away, but she did not succeed.
It flustered her.
She looked up at Fang Mu and said, “Fang Mu, accept reality. From the moment you married my sister, you no longer have the right to make me love you.”
Qiao Jiusheng shook her arm again, but she still did not shake off Fang Mu. She said, “You keep saying that I love you. Don’t you think it’s ironic? You already have a child. Not only did you have Qiao Jiuyin by your side, but you also went to Hu Yao. What right do you have to be worthy of my love?”
Qiao Jiusheng thought of something and said, “It’s true that I love Fang Yusheng. If I didn’t love him, I wouldn’t have been willing to carry his child.
“Fang Mu, let go.”
Qiao Jiusheng’s words were harsh.
Fang Mu actually knew that Qiao Jiusheng was not lying. How could a carefree person like her suffer? Since she said that she loved Fang Yusheng, that meant that she really loved him. It was just that Fang Mu refused to admit it.
“Also, put away your tears.” Qiao Jiusheng looked at Fang Mu’s teary eyes and felt rueful, but she was not touched. “Your tears touched yourself, not me.”
Fang Mu was stunned.
“You said that on purpose because you hate me, right?” Fang Mu could not ignore the intense pain in his heart as if it had been pierced by a dagger. He still had the last bit of hope in his heart. He could not believe it when Qiao Jiusheng said that she did not love him anymore.
Qiao Jiusheng felt even more uneasy under Fang Mu’s stubborn gaze.
However, she did not dare to be angry at Fang Mu or argue with him.
She stabilized her emotions and spoke again in a calm tone. “I don’t hate you.” Qiao Jiusheng did not lie this time.
She really did not hate Fang Mu.
She had loved him for six years, but in the end, he could not tell the difference between her and Qiao Jiuyin. Toward Fang Mu, what she felt was more like disappointment and regret than hatred. He was not worthy of Qiao Jiusheng’s hatred. She only felt disappointed, disappointed, and unworthy.
What she really hated was Qiao Jiuyin, who had ruthlessly hurt her own sister for a man.
Seeing that more and more people were coming near the area, she was afraid that Fang Yusheng would rush down from the ward if he waited anxiously. If he saw this scene of Fang Mu pulling and pulling her, it would be even more unreasonable. Qiao Jiusheng was a little anxious. Her face turned cold, and she said to Fang Mu, “Fang Mu, let go.”
Qiao Jiusheng wanted to remove his hand.
However, Fang Mu’s hands were like iron clamps; she could not move them at all.
“Fang Mu, please understand that I’m not your Xiao Sheng. I’m your big brother’s wife now, the eldest young mistress of the Fang family. What will others say if they see you pulling your sister-in-law like this!” Fang Mu cared about his face the most. Qiao Jiusheng thought that since she had said so, Fang Mu would definitely let go.
In the end…
Fang Mu still held her. His eyes were filled with a madness she could not understand.
Qiao Jiusheng was so anxious that she wanted to curse him.
At this moment, another voice resounded in the air.
“Second Brother, you think it’s too little to lose three teeth? Do you want to break your hand?” Fang Yusheng’s voice suddenly came from the elevator.
Qiao Jiusheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Feeling relieved, she turned to look at Fang Yusheng with a calm and open gaze.
Fang Yusheng glanced at her and thought:?You can attract people even when going out to buy breakfast. Can’t you let me at a little ease?
