Chapter 83: Exposed (7)
I’m lucky to have met Yusheng.
Just that one sentence made Jiang Jie’s impression of Qiao Jiusheng improve a lot.
Soon, the servers pushed the cake out into the room. The cake was more than a meter tall. Jiang Wei and Jiang Jie cut the cake together. When they cut the cake, Jiang Jie especially removed a delicate rose from the top of the cake and gave it to Qiao Jiusheng.
“Sister-in-law Yunsheng, come. Try it. This is a cake personally made by the owner of Cloud Era Hall. It’s delicious.” Jiang Jie held the cake in front of Qiao Jiusheng as if she were offering Buddha.
Qiao Jiusheng took the cake piece with a smile and patted Jiang Jie’s head. “Good girl.”
Jiang Jie smiled until her eyes curved into two lines.
Jiang Wei watched this scene from afar. When he saw that Qiao Jiusheng had received the cake from his sister, he could not help but look down at the cake in his hand.
Sigh…
It was unnecessary.
He turned around. Just when he was about to throw his cake piece into the bin, a fair hand reached over and snatched his cake.
Jiang Wei turned his head and saw a sweet, obedient face.
Fang Yuqing ate the cake she had snatched. As she ate, she held the spoon and patted her lips with it. She glanced at Jiang Wei, smiled, and warned him. “I said, my sister-in-law is my big brother’s baby. Please excuse her.”
Jiang Wei and Fang Yuqing were of similar age. The two of them were alumni of the same school, albeit from different grades. Coupled with the fact that they lived in the same social circle, they were naturally familiar with each other. Jiang Wei glared at Fang Yuqing and pretended to be cold. “Nonsense! I saw that she was bored alone, so I wanted to send her there.”
Fang Yuqing said, “Why don’t you see that I’m bored alone?”
Jiang Wei: “…”
“You’re indeed boring.”
“Yeah, I’m bored, so accompany me.”
Jiang Wei snorted. “Didn’t you just have a boyfriend last month? If you’re bored, go find him.”
Who didn’t know that Fang Yuqing already was in puppy love?
Fang Yuqing pursed her lips and said, “Broke up already.”
Jiang Wei was stunned. “Why? Why haven’t I heard of it?”
“He cheated. I was cheated on. Do you think I should spread that around?”
“He’s 17. It was just puppy love, yet he still cheated. I really can’t keep up with the kids’ pace anymore.” Jiang Wei shook his head. Seeing that Fang Yuqing still had her head lowered and seemed a little sad, he felt uncomfortable. So, he asked again, “He really cheated?”
Fang Yuqing nodded. “Yes, he really did it.”
“With whom?”
Fang Yuqing looked at Jiang Wei and said in disdain, “That class beauty of yours.”
Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes.
He then turned around and left.
***
Jiang Jie pestered Qiao Jiusheng and whispered to her.
“When you married Brother Yusheng, why didn’t you hold a wedding?” Jiang Jie had long wanted to ask this question.
Qiao Jiusheng thought about it before replying, “We plan to make up for it in the future.”
“Wow! Then you must send me an invitation.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Jiusheng suddenly regretted saying those words.
A bridal shower?
Fang Yusheng is so stingy. The wedding cost, effort, and time. It’s impossible.
Jiang Jie thought of something and pursed her lips. She then mumbled, “When Brother Fang Mu got married, the wedding was a grand one. The Binjiang City Government specially cleared a road for their wedding.” When Jiang Jie thought about how Brother Yusheng could not go to work because he was blind, she felt terrible.
She added, “Brother Yusheng is such an outstanding person, and he was even a top student at MIT. But now, he has become like this…”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng could not help but ask, “How outstanding is he?” She was actually unaware that he had been a top student at MIT. According to what she knew, Fang Yusheng’s accident had happened when he was 15 years old. He had already been blind for fourteen years.
MIT, that’s a university. When did Fang Yusheng go to a university?
“Sister-in-law Yunsheng, don’t you know?” Jiang Jie was a little surprised. She then described Fang Yusheng to Qiao Jiusheng with admiration. “When Brother Yusheng was 14, MIT accepted him as a student in advance. He studied the most famous mechanical engineering. Didn’t you think about it? Last year, the third son of the Lin family was accepted by MIT. His family booked the Cairo Hotel and invited all the wealthy families in Binjiang City to celebrate. You can imagine how awesome Brother Yusheng is.”
Too awesome, my brother.
Qiao Jiusheng opened her mouth in shock.
Such an awesome person became blind the second year after entering university.
One can imagine how serious the blow to him would’ve been when he was blinded.
He was such a capable person. He should not have had to stay imprisoned in the Fang family’s house all day. The heights he reached should’ve been the blue sky, the sea, and the deep starlight that people would look up to.
