Reincarnation: I Married My Ex’s Brother-Chapter 227 - Your Sorry Is Worthless

“Your mouth is itchy?”

Fang Yusheng: “…”

Fang Yusheng sat down on the short stool and felt upset.

Just as he sat down, Qiao Jiusheng suddenly pounced on him from the opposite side. Fang Yusheng subconsciously closed his legs and caught her. Qiao Jiusheng’s calf was pressed against Fang Yusheng’s thigh, and she knelt in his embrace. She silently smiled and lowered her head to kiss Fang Yusheng’s lips.

At this moment, the cabin of the Ferris wheel rose to the highest point, and Qiao Jiusheng kissed Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng was surprised. He instantly understood that Qiao Jiusheng had fooled him.

The kiss lasted for a long time.

After they separated, Qiao Jiusheng rubbed Fang Yusheng’s pink lips with her fingers. Her eyes were filled with a charming smile, but her words did not give anyone face. “Say, what are you being reserved for? If you want a kiss, just say it. Why are you going in circles?

“You’re a person of integrity. Tsk tsk!” Qiao Jiusheng shook her head as she spoke.

Fang Yusheng was sometimes straightforward. Occasionally, when he was pure, it also made people blush and their hearts beat faster. Perhaps, it was because he was good-looking!

Fang Yusheng placed his hands on her waist and felt sweet inside. After a moment, his expression turned serious as he reminded Qiao Jiusheng, “Don’t jump around in the future. You have to be careful. You now have someone in your stomach.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng quickly got off his body and sat down beside him.

After a while, the car finally reached the end of the Ferris wheel.

The two of them walked out. Qiao Jiusheng only felt at ease when her feet touched the ground.

They played around until three in the afternoon before Qiao Jiusheng’s and Fang Pingjue’s groups met up.

“We won’t be going back tonight. There’s a forest resthouse here. Let’s stay there for the night. The residents on this mountain have all moved to the west corner. They’ve planted fruits and vegetables there, as well as a pond and lotus roots. We can go fishing or pick lotus seeds to eat at night.” It was rare for Xu Pingfei to come out to play, so she felt reluctant to go home.

Qiao Jiusheng instantly became interested when she heard that she could eat lotus seeds. “Okay.” Her taste had recently changed, so she wanted to eat some fresh lotus seeds.

Since his wife had agreed, Fang Yusheng naturally did not object to it.

After reaching the resthouse, they ate dinner at the local farm restaurant, then returned to the resthouse. Qiao Jiusheng had not brought any extra clothes, so Fang Yusheng called Qi Bufan. An hour later, Qiao Jiusheng obtained clean clothes and pajamas from Qi Bufan.

“I’m going to take a shower. I’ll go to the lotus pond to pick the lotus seeds later.”

Fang Yusheng was still blind, so he would only cause trouble if he went out. He said, “I won’t go.”

Qiao Jiusheng understood this logic as well. As she took off her clothes, she said, “Your father seems to be tired from playing and doesn’t plan to go out to shop anymore. Then I’ll get Aunt Xu and Qingqing to accompany me.”

“Sure.” Fang Yusheng’s gaze lingered on her body. He only retracted his gaze after she entered the bathroom.

After showering, Qiao Jiusheng wore a strapless dress and slippers. She took her phone downstairs and knocked on Fang Pingjue’s door.

Xu Pingfei quickly opened the door.

“Aunt Xu, it’s still early. Let’s go and pick some lotus seeds.”

Xu Pingfei was feeling bored, so she immediately accepted Qiao Jiusheng’s invitation.

Fang Yu’an had gone fishing after dinner. Fang Yuqing had nothing to do alone, so she accompanied Xu Pingfei and Qiao Jiusheng. The forest rest houses here were single villas surrounded by tall green trees. Fang Yusheng and the rest had more people, so they had rented an entire villa.

After Qiao Jiusheng and the rest left, only Fang Yusheng and Fang Pingjue were left in the entire building.

After taking a shower, Fang Yusheng lay on the bed in his pajamas and read a novel provided by the hotel.

He had just read chapter 10 when he suddenly heard an impassioned curse from downstairs!

“D*mn it, why are there snakes here!” It was Fang Pingjue’s voice.

“Ah!”

Fang Pingjue seemed to be injured. He even threw something, causing quite a commotion.

Fang Yusheng sensitively heard the word “snake.” He put down his book and walked out, picking up his sunglasses to put them on. The moment he opened the door, his movements, which had been unhindered just a moment ago, suddenly became sluggish.

Fang Yusheng placed his fingers on the wall and slowly went downstairs.

When he slowly arrived at Fang Pingjue’s room, six to seven minutes had passed.

“Dad?”

Fang Yusheng stood at the door of Fang Pingjue’s room and called out to him, his tone calm as usual.

In the house, Fang Pingjue sat on the ground and cried out in pain. His scream could make one’s scalp turn numb. However, when Fang Yusheng heard this, he did not even frown. His expression remained relaxed.

When Fang Pingjue heard Fang Yusheng’s voice, his painful eyes shone with a strong desire to live.

“Yusheng, quickly, call the hospital. A snake bit me.” Fang Pingjue pulled open his pants and saw that the skin around the wound had turned light purple. His expression changed instantly. “It’s a venomous snake! I was bitten by a venomous snake! D*mn it! Why are there venomous snakes in this forest!”

Fang Pingjue quickly pulled off his tie and tightly tied his legs, trying to slow down the spread of the venom.

Fang Yusheng coldly smiled.

Snake?

He believed in snakes, but he did not believe that it was just a snake that had bitten Fang Pingjue.

Now that the snake had become a spirit, it knew how to pick on people.

Fang Yusheng opened the door and fumbled his way in. As he could not see, he even “accidentally” bumped into a chair. He almost fell, but at the last moment, he grabbed the chair to stabilize himself.

“Did you get bitten?” he leisurely asked, holding onto a chair.

Fang Pingjue took a deep breath and shouted at him while cursing, “Quick, call the doctor and your Aunt Xu. Tell them to come back quickly. This snake’s toxicity is very strong. My legs are turning purple!” If the snake bite was not treated in time, he would die.

Fang Pingjue’s tone was extremely anxious. He had lost feeling in his entire left calf, and his thigh was slightly numb.

Fang Yusheng glanced at the pale-faced man lying on the ground with a pale face.

Fang Pingjue was also starting to age. White hair had started to grow on his forehead. He was no longer the high-spirited man he had been in his prime years.

Seeing Fang Yusheng remain still, Fang Pingjue scolded him, “Useless thing!” He dragged his aching legs and slowly moved his body to the coffee table. He half lay on the ground and reached for his phone on the table. Just as his fingers were about to touch the phone, a slender hand suddenly snatched the phone.

Fang Pingjue was stunned. He looked up and saw Fang Yusheng holding his phone with an expressionless face.

Fang Pingjue sensed that something was wrong, but the situation was urgent, so he did not pursue it. He rushed toward Fang Yusheng and shouted, “Quick, call someone to save your dad.”

The expressionless handsome man suddenly raised the corners of his mouth. His smile was very strange, and he exuded a treacherous and cold aura.

Fang Pingjue stared at him, feeling a little lost.

“Call?” Fang Yusheng shook his phone and asked Fang Pingjue with a smile, “Do you think I will call?”

Fang Pingjue’s expression changed.

He stared at Fang Yusheng, his expression filled with fear and panic. His eyes were filled with pain and anger, and his heart was filled with disbelief. “Fang Yusheng, y-you want me to die?” he asked through gritted teeth.

“I want you to die?” Fang Yusheng sneered.

“Dad, do you not know whether I want you to die or someone else wants you to die?” Fang Yusheng was implying something. After saying that, he snorted.

Fang Pingjue’s pupils shrank.

He recalled the venomous snake that had suddenly crawled in, and a thought that scared him appeared in his heart. “No, impossible! Impossible!” Fang Mu was his son after all. He should not lay his hands on his father.

Seeing that Fang Pingjue was still defending Fang Mu, that ingrate, even at the brink of death, Fang Yusheng only felt that it was ironic.

“What a coincidence! Fifteen years ago, a venomous snake made me blind. The snake’s venom was very strong, and I had become blind on the spot. If I hadn’t been lucky enough, your eldest son might have died fifteen years ago.”

Fang Yusheng squatted and gently touched Fang Pingjue’s calf with his fingers. He said, “Just like you are now. Pain for more than an hour before slowly dying…”

Fang Pingjue trembled.

He watched Fang Yusheng’s movements in despair. Seeing that his son could accurately touch his calf, he finally realized something. A hint of surprise appeared in his painful eyes.

“You can see?”

Fang Pingjue had suffered a lot today.

Fang Yusheng only smiled as if he did not hear Fang Pingjue’s question. His fingers drew circles around Fang Pingjue’s wound. His movements were leisurely, lacking even a hint of pity.

Fang Mu was a ruthless person, and Fang Yusheng would not be any better.

They were all ruthless people.

Even when seeing his father being tortured by pain, Fang Yusheng remained cold and emotionless. He did not show any compassion. “Do you know how much pain I’ve been through all these years?” Fang Yusheng’s finger landed on the snake bite wound, and he stopped.

“Can you understand the pain of being in the dark for more than ten years?

“Can you imagine the despair of a person who has been shot in a foreign country and has escaped death several times?

“Do you know the difference between standing at the peak of a steep mountain and being instantly kicked down by someone?”

Fang Yusheng’s fingers pressed into the wound on Fang Pingjue’s calf. Red and black blood flowed out of the wound along his fingers.

“Ah!” Fang Pingjue screamed.

The pain made his face turn as pale as death.

Fang Yusheng smiled and dug his fingers into the calf. His smile was filled with mockery and indifference.

“Yusheng, Fang Yusheng! Dad is begging you, let me off!” Fang Pingjue said. Even though Fang Yusheng’s tone was calm and flat when he said these words, Fang Pingjue could feel hatred from the mocking smile on Fang Yusheng’s lips.

Fang Pingjue could clearly sense that Fang Yusheng would really watch him die from the pain.

Fang Yusheng grumbled at him. It was already a kindness that he did not stab him.

How could he save him?

Fang Pingjue thought through this and could not help but feel grief. As a father, he had failed.

Fang Pingjue did not want to die. He had no choice but to use blood ties and family ties in a bid to soften Fang Yusheng’s heart. “Yusheng, I’m your father. You can’t watch your father die.” As Fang Pingjue spoke, large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead, rolling over his face and flowing into his neck.

Seeing Fang Yusheng unmoved, Fang Pingjue did not give up. He continued, “Do you remember when you were young, Dad brought you to the amusement park, took you to the Ferris wheel, and brought you to play bumper cars—”

Fang Yusheng suddenly interrupted his recollection. “Sorry, when my mother divorced you, I was less than two years old. I don’t remember anything you said.”

Fang Pingjue was stunned, and his expression instantly became dejected.

What had he done for Fang Yusheng?

He could not remember.

Perhaps, it was not because he could not remember, but because he had never done anything for him.

However, Fang Pingjue did not want to die. He was not even fifty-seven years old; he still had a lot of good days to enjoy. He could only lower his head and humbly admit his mistake. “Yusheng, it’s Dad’s fault. Dad has let you down. You save Dad. In the future, Dad will compensate you.”

Fang Yusheng smiled and shook his head. “Do you take me for a child?” He had already grown up. Perhaps, he used to cherish Fang Pingjue’s care in the past, but now, he did not need it. He said, “I’m already thirty. All these years, I’ve suffered all the hardships that I should and should not have. What can you give me with a sentence of apology? I have been in pain and despair. Your apology cannot share my burden at all.”

After saying that, Fang Yusheng took out his hand from Fang Pingjue’s wound. He then removed the tie that tied Fang Pingjue’s legs and let the venom spread in Fang Pingjue’s body.

When Fang Pingjue saw his actions, his gaze became full of despair, and he softly whimpered.

He cried because of pain, fear, hatred, and regret.

Realizing that Fang Yusheng would ignore him, Fang Pingjue resigned himself to fate. He felt more parts of his body start to numb and hurt. Perhaps, he would die in less than an hour.

He had been arrogant all his life, but he had actually died at the mouth of a venomous snake.

Even though he was unwilling, he was helpless.
