Chapter 277 - I Didn’t Let Him Down



Chapter 277: I Didn’t Let Him Down

Fang Yusheng wanted to reject her, but Qiao Jiusheng said, “Let me massage your back.”

This was a request Fang Yusheng could not reject.

“Come!”

Fang Yusheng was helpless against Qiao Jiusheng.

After entering the bathroom, Fang Yusheng lay in the bathtub with his back facing up. Qiao Jiusheng sat on the edge of the bathtub and massaged his back and shoulders. Her strength was greater than that of ordinary girls, and Fang Yusheng especially liked the strength of her hands. Her hands were comfortable and strong. After being pressed by her hands, all his bones turned soft.

Qiao Jiusheng had pressed him for seven to eight minutes when her hands became a little sore.

She shook her hands and said to Fang Yusheng, “Yusheng, turn around.”

Fang Yusheng did as he was told.

After a few months of recuperation and exercise, his body had become quite sturdy and firm. Under the water, it looked sexy and slender, making Qiao Jiusheng blush and her heart beat faster. Even though they had done countless intimate things, and Qiao Jiusheng was experienced, she still felt shy.

However, when she saw the wound on Fang Yusheng’s chest, she immediately suppressed her embarrassment.

As she stared at the small scar, a hint of pain appeared in her eyes.

She suddenly asked, “Then, how did you come back?”

Fang Yusheng freely smiled and nonchalantly said, “I waited for you there for two days, but you never came.” It was easy to say these words, but Fang Yusheng had experienced a hundred different things in those two days. He had been worried, disappointed, and lonely.

When he spoke again, Fang Yusheng’s tone was still calm and composed. “You never came. I went out of the cave on my own and found a random stick to use as a blind rod. I walked out of the forest… In the end, the moment I left the forest, the rebel army caught me. Only then did I find out that an internal strife was going on in that country.”

After the rebel army had imprisoned him, Fang Yusheng didn’t really care about his own life and death. At that time, he was especially depressed and felt that there wasn’t much of a difference whether he lived or died. However, he was very worried about “Third Girl.” Since she suddenly didn’t appear, could she have died in the civil war? He used to think that.

“The rebels locked me up for a day before the country’s soldiers rescued me. Following the evacuation, we returned to our country together.”

He did not tell Qiao Jiusheng that on the ship back home, he had asked everyone from the top to the bottom floor if they had seen a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl from China. He asked them over and over again, but he could not find his “Third Girl.”

Those days were extremely torturous for him.

Now that he thought about it, Fang Yusheng could still feel the fear he felt for Qiao Jiusheng.

Qiao Jiusheng quietly listened and did not interrupt his recount. Although Fang Yusheng’s tone was calm when he said these words, Qiao Jiusheng could imagine how miserable he had been during those few days. “Did you think that I abandoned you?”

“The truth?” Fang Yusheng shook his head with a smile and said, “To be honest, I did think so at first, thinking that I was fooled by you. But when I found out about the internal strife going on in the country, I didn’t think so anymore.” He looked at Qiao Jiusheng with guilt in his eyes.

“I shouldn’t have treated you like that.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng shook her head. She did not mind it. “I can understand how you felt back then.” If it were her, she would probably think the same.

Qiao Jiusheng suddenly lifted her head and planted a kiss on the scar on Fang Yusheng’s chest.

Fang Yusheng’s gaze softened when he felt the itchy sensation. However, that softness was soon replaced by astonishment.

After all, Qiao Jiusheng’s lips had left his gun scar and kissed his lower part…

If Qiao Jiusheng was sincere about flirting, anyone would fall for it.

Fang Yusheng looked at the person working hard and sighed.

Back then, he had already guessed that when “Third Girl” grew up, she would definitely become an unordinary person. Now, it seemed that she had indeed lived up to his expectations.

Look, she could open an adult shop, sculpt naked men, and try all kinds of poses…

After a long period of chaos, Qiao Jiusheng slept soundly that night. Fang Yusheng was worried that she would have a nightmare in the middle of the night, so he did not sleep well. The next morning, Qiao Jiusheng said that she wanted to go to Junyang City. Fang Yusheng was stunned at first, but he quickly understood what she meant.

“Are you going to pay respects to your parents?”

“Yeah.”

Qiao Jiusheng glanced at Fang Yusheng and said, “Come with me. I’ll bring you to see them.”

“Okay.”

The two of them flew to Junyang City that day and bought four bouquets. Qiao Jiusheng’s parents and grandparents were buried in this cemetery.

Qiao Jiusheng first visited her grandfather and grandmother, then brought Fang Yusheng to Qiao Jingren and Shi Piaopiao’s tombstone.

Her parents were buried together. Their tombstone had a photo of them taken when they were young.

Qiao Jiusheng looked a lot like her mother. The only difference was that she liked to smile, while Shi Piaopiao was more serious. Fang Yusheng took another look at Shi Piaopiao and felt admiration for her.

This was someone worthy of respect.

Qiao Jiusheng stared at the photo. In her mind, Shi Piaopiao’s bloody head could not help but jump out with its terrified and painful expression.

Qiao Jiusheng’s heart ached. She called out to her mother and slowly knelt while holding onto the tombstone.

Fang Yusheng didn’t help her up. He knew that she was feeling sad and needed to vent it out. Otherwise, she would suffocate.

“Mom, Dad.” Qiao Jiusheng knelt and looked up at the loving couple in the photo. Her eyes were filled with pain. “Your daughter is unfilial.” Qiao Jingtian and Shi Piaopiao had exchanged their lives for her life. She was doing well, but she had forgotten how her parents had died. I deserve to die.

Qiao Jiusheng wanted to kowtow to them, but her stomach was too big for her to do so.

Seeing this, Fang Yusheng knelt and kowtowed three times to the deceased couple. “Dad, Mom, I’m Ah Sheng’s husband, Fang Yusheng.” He looked at Qiao Jingren and Shi Piaopiao’s portrait with respect and gratitude in his eyes. “Thank you for protecting Ah Sheng so well.

“In the future, I will be very good to Ah Sheng and the children.”

“Rest in peace.

Fang Yusheng kowtowed to them three more times.

Qiao Jiusheng did not stop him.

Seeing that he had kowtowed on her behalf, Qiao Jiusheng rubbed her eyes and slowly stood up with Fang Yusheng’s help.

Qiao Jiusheng looked at their portrait again and said, “Dad, Mom, I will bring the babies and Yusheng to visit you next year during the Qingming festival.”

Then, Qiao Jiusheng held Fang Yusheng’s hand and turned to leave.

They walked out of the cemetery and saw a black car parked outside. The window was rolled down, and a man was sitting inside with his hand outside the window. His slender fingers were holding a cigarette, but he did not smoke. Qiao Jiusheng’s gaze followed the cigarette into the car and met Qiao Sen’s deep and steady eyes.

Qiao Sen nodded at her.

Qiao Jiusheng pouted, her eyes slightly red. “Eldest brother.”

Seeing her walk over, Qiao Sen immediately put out his cigarette.

Qiao Jiusheng stood at the car door and called him again. Eldest Brother Qiao sighed and said, “You remembered.”

“Yeah.”

Qiao Sen was deep in thought and didn’t say anything. After a while, he said, “It’s good that you remember. I don’t have to hide it from you anymore.”

“Eldest Brother.” Qiao Jiusheng opened the door. Under Qiao Sen’s stunned gaze, she slowly bent down and wrapped her arms around his neck. She rubbed against his neck like a little girl.

Qiao Sen felt a little awkward, but he didn’t push her away.

“Eldest Brother, it has been hard on you.”

How many years has it been?

Qiao Sen had endured for so many years alone. It was indeed hard on him.

He slowly raised his hand and patted Qiao Jiusheng’s head. “Alright, you’re an adult. Don’t you feel embarrassed to act so coquettishly?” Qiao Sen was not used to such a gentle Qiao Jiusheng.

Only then did Qiao Jiusheng let go of him.

“Since you’re back, you can go home today and stay for a few more days.”

“Okay.”

Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng returned to the Qiao family’s house together. Qiao Sen only sent them back before driving out again. He went to the third female prison in Yang City alone to visit Qiao Jiuyin.

It had only been two or three months, but Qiao Jiuyin seemed to have matured a lot. Her face was still the same. However, without makeup and because of the hard life in prison, she seemed to have aged a little. Qiao Sen stared at her for a long time, smiled sadly, and sighed. “You really brought it upon yourself!”

Qiao Jiuyin’s lips moved, but she did not speak.

Qiao Sen suddenly said, “Fang Mu is dead.”

Qiao Jiuyin was stunned at first, then her expression turned blank.

She didn’t seem surprised to hear the news. “Really?” she asked. “How did he die?”

“The judge sentenced him to fifty years in prison. As soon as he walked out of the courtroom, a man called Cheng Ke shot him to death.”

Qiao Jiuyin was dazed for a moment, then said, “Oh, Cheng Ke…” She thought of how that man had hurt Fang Mu. Even though she was blind and could not express her disgust for that person with her eyes, her lips curled into a mocking smile. She asked, “What happened to Cheng Ke?”

“Fang Mu had imprisoned him for more than ten years, but he had also killed Fang Mu. The judge did not hold him responsible for this matter. However, he had also committed crimes such as adultery, sexual assault on minors, child abuse, and so on… Due to his vile nature, almost all the citizens have called for him to be sentenced to death, especially the older victims who were abused by him.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiuyin seemed to have thought of something. She snorted and asked, “What happened in the end?”

“He became the only person in nearly a decade to be executed by a request from the nation. He was eventually sentenced to death and executed.”

“Oh.”

Before Qiao Jiuyin could digest this news, Qiao Sen said, “Grandpa has already left.”

A look of pain appeared on Qiao Jiuyin’s face.

“W-When did this happen?”

“Just a few days after you went to prison.”

Qiao Jiuyin’s reaction was a little slow. Her throat rolled as she asked, “Was he at peace when he left?”

“Well, we’re all standing guard around him. He left quickly, and there was not much pain.”

“That’s good.”

Qiao Sen told her everything that had happened recently. For a moment, the two of them were speechless.

Qiao Jiuyin suddenly asked Qiao Sen, “Fang Mu… is dead. Then Shan Shan…” She thought of something and turned pale. “That poisonous snake Fang Yusheng won’t let Shan Shan off. Big Brother, can you bring Shan Shan to the Qiao family?”

“Ah Yin.” Qiao Sen interrupted her. “Fang Shan is from the Fang family.”

Qiao Jiuyin’s expression turned uglier.

Qiao Sen continued, “Fang Yusheng gave Fang Shan to Xu Pingfei and Fang Pingjue to raise. He’s not as heartless as you think.”

Qiao Jiuyin was still worried. “He looks kind, but he’s more ruthless than anyone else. Big Brother, I’m worried about leaving Fang Shan to him. Fang Shan is so small, he can kill him with just one hand…”

Qiao Sen suddenly asked, “Ah Yin, do you think everyone is as ruthless as you?”

Qiao Jiuyin was speechless.

She thought of the child she had abandoned and realized that she was indeed scarier than Fang Yusheng.

“Big Brother…”

Qiao Sen stood up. “It’s time. I’m leaving.” He took one last look at Qiao Jiuyin and said, “When I’m free in the future, I’ll come and see you. Perform well in prison. Who knows when you’ll receive a reduction in your sentence. You might even get to see your son in this lifetime.”

When Qiao Jiuyin heard this, she felt hopeless.

What year will that be?

After Qiao Sen left, the prison guards brought Qiao Jiuyin out of the visitation room.

She walked on the field of the prison, and beside her was a prisoner who was taking a stroll. Qiao Jiuyin could not see anything and walked very slowly. Her posture was also not very good. Suddenly, she thought of something and cried.

Qiao Sen returned home with a heavy heart.

Qiao Jiusheng more or less guessed who he had met, but she did not ask.

After staying with the Qiao family for three days, Qiao Jiusheng returned to Binjiang City with Fang Yusheng.

After Fang Mu died, Fang Pingjue, who had only one leg now, could not put on his suit and tie again to resume his original job. Now that everything was settled, Fang Pingjue held a shareholder meeting. He intended to hand the Fang Corporation over to Fang Yusheng.

He thought that Fang Yusheng would accept it happily, but…

“I’m not interested in managing the Fang Corporation.”

Fang Yusheng’s words stunned all the shareholders and higher-ups.

“Eldest Young Master…” Some people wanted to persuade him, but more people felt that he was putting on an act.

Fang Yusheng looked directly at Fang Pingjue and said in a clear voice, “My ambitions don’t lie here. I don’t think I’m a qualified businessman.” He was smart, but that didn’t mean he could manage the Fang Group well. He didn’t have the talent for business.

Fang Pingjue knew that Fang Yusheng was telling the truth.

Fang Yusheng didn’t like what Fang Mu wanted.

This comparison was truly tragic.

Fang Pingjue held back his anger and asked him, “Yu An doesn’t want to take over the company, and neither do you! Why? Do you want me to find a manager to manage the company?” Fang Pingjue had never expected that the Fang Corporation, which he treated as a treasure, was actually worthless in the eyes of his two sons!
