Reincarnation: I Married My Ex’s Brother-Chapter 230 - Let’s Take a Bet

The face in front of Fang Mu was the most exquisite and perfect face even an artist could not draw. Those tightly pursed lips suddenly curled up. Fang Yusheng smiled, but his smile wasn’t one to make people feel happy. Instead, it gave them a sense of danger.

The elevator seemed to have become suffocating, and even the air seemed to be filled with uneasiness and coldness.

Fang Mu suddenly had a thought: This person is very dangerous.

Fang Yusheng’s tone was flat and without any fluctuations. He said, “You owe me three things. A pair of eyes, a healthy stomach, and an immeasurable future.” He looked calm as if he were talking about something unimportant.

Fang Mu’s pupils shrank.

Fang Yusheng has always known the truth.

He has really been tolerant all these years.

Since he knew about it, why did he not take action all these years? Fang Mu did not think that Fang Yusheng would give up on revenge. He was waiting for an opportunity. It was just that Fang Mu did not know what kind of opportunity his brother was waiting for.

Fang Yusheng quickly solved Fang Mu’s confusion. He was indeed waiting for a good opportunity.

And now, that opportunity had arrived.

“In the past, I thought about how to get these things back and what kind of situation to get them back. Is it better to kill you easily? Or is it better to torture you slowly? If I want to torture you, what methods do I have that make me happy?”

Fang Yusheng suddenly stopped and smiled gently. He said, “After thinking about it, I think it’s better to get back at you one by one only after you have a family and someone you care about.

“Think about it.” Fang Yusheng’s smile was even more beautiful. It was elegant and warm, but that made Fang Mu feel cold. Fang Yusheng’s right hand kept twirling the jade bead on his left wrist. The bead was warm, and his voice was colder than the jade bead. “Now, you have a son and something to worry about. If you die an unnatural death, your son will become an orphan. He won’t have a mother, or a brother, or even his father. Don’t you think he’d be pitiful?”

Upon hearing this, Fang Mu frowned. His dark and handsome face exuded coldness.

“Are you threatening me with Fang Shan?” Fang Mu could not help but sneer. “You don’t have the ability.” His tone seemed confident, but his heart was shaking.

Fang Yusheng was right. Fang Mu cared a lot about Fang Shan. After all, Fang Shan was his only son. Since his other son was already dead, Fang Shan had become his only bloodline. Fang Mu was cold-blooded to his elders, but he cared a lot about Fang Shan.

Fang Yusheng had indeed found his weakness.

“Threaten?” Fang Yusheng showed a disdainful reaction. He would not threaten Fang Mu with a child. “No, this is not a threat. Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. You naturally have to bear your sins. What I want is your life. You have a son now. Say something happens to you now, when you think of your son, will you be in pain? Will you be unwilling to part with him?”

If Fang Mu died too easily, what would Fang Yusheng use to commemorate the pain he had suffered in the past!

Only when Fang Mu felt happy and had something to worry about, would he kill him. Only then would Fang Mu feel like he was better off dead. He would realize how painful death was.

“I was accepted by MIT at the age of 14. Even my professors praised me for my talent. I had the potential for a limitless future.” When he spoke about his youth, Fang Yusheng could no longer maintain his noble fake smile.

He stopped smiling and pointed at his eyes. He said to Fang Mu, “Eyes and hands are more important to me than anything. But you stole my eyes. Fang Mu, you ruined my life.”

He cut open his heart and placed the pain of the past in front of Fang Mu in blood.

Fang Mu could not help but clench his fists.

Fang Yusheng was telling the truth.

Yes.

Fang Yusheng had been accepted by MIT at the age of 14. Even though Fang Yusheng was in England, at that time, he was a genius, whose name spread by word of mouth among the high society in Binjiang City. At that time, Fang Pingjue looked happy wherever he went and mentioned his eldest son to everyone.

Fang Yusheng was the star in the sky, the Young Master of the Fang family that everyone praised.

In contrast, Fang Mu was an illegitimate son, the son of an actress, a lowly worm in the dust.

Fang Mu had once said that Qiao Jiuyin was the faint light of a candle, unable to compete with the brilliance of the sun and moon.

But in front of Fang Yusheng, Fang Mu was also that insignificant candlelight.

He felt inferior, jealous, and afraid.

With such a perfect Fang Yusheng around, could he continue to stay in the Fang family?

Fang Mu had had enough of the tough times. He was afraid of poverty and loneliness to the core. He yearned for money and power. Due to this, the 13-year-old Fang Mu did the first ruthless thing in his life. He spent money to hire a Snake Rider and tried to control the venomous snake to kill Fang Yusheng. However, Fang Yu had a big life. He did not die, but he did get blinded.

Then, Fang Pingjue had brought Fang Yusheng back to the Fang family. Even though Fang Yusheng had become blind, even if he withdrew from MIT and returned to China to study at City One High School, becoming an ordinary high school student with eye disease, Fang Mu was still afraid of him.

It was not that Fang Mu was timid, but Fang Yusheng was too powerful!

As long as Fang Yusheng did not die, Fang Mu would be on tenterhooks.

When Fang Yusheng was 19, Fang Mu finally got a chance.

Fang Yusheng had just entered university. During the summer vacation of his first year in university, he had agreed to go to Meng Hai for a vacation with his former high school friends. It was the best time for Fang Mu to make a move in a foreign country where he had few people and less power. So, Fang Mu hired a killer again…

However, Fang Yusheng was an unkillable cockroach. He could survive under such circumstances as well.

Fang Mu pulled back his thoughts and looked at Fang Yusheng’s face, which was filled with hatred and killing intent. He once again felt the pressure and fear that he had not felt for a long time from Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng pursed his lips, and his expression became cold and stern. He told Fang Mu in a hateful tone, “And I want to see you go to hell with pain and unwillingness. I haven’t been living well for the past decade. Since I haven’t been living well, you won’t either. I have to get some interest.

“Fang Mu, just wait. The outcome between you and me will be revealed soon.” There would be an outcome soon.

The elevator reached the first floor. The door opened, but neither of them stepped out.

There were few people at night in the hospital, and no one wanted to enter the elevator.

The elevator door closed, and the two of them remained inside.

Fang Mu looked at Fang Yusheng. Fear appeared under the facade of calmness of his face.

Fang Yusheng suddenly smiled again. “But it’s not like I haven’t encountered something pleasant in the past few years.”

Seeing him smile again, Fang Mu felt that Fang Yusheng might be mentally ill.

How can he smile at a time like this?

Pleasant?

What kind of happy thing can happen when he’s blind and being hunted down?

Fang Yusheng thought of his trip to the Fierce Sea, getting to know Qiao Jiusheng, and making a promise to her for the rest of his life. Warmth filled his heart. Then, he thought of the history between Fang Mu and Qiao Jiusheng, and his smile became even more dazzling. “Fang Mu, I’ve prepared a surprise for you.”

He raised his hand and slowly landed it on Fang Mu’s shoulder. He patted Fang Mu’s shoulder and said with a smile, “You’ll like that surprise.” His tone was thought-provoking and meaningful.

Fang Mu’s face darkened.

Someone outside the elevator pressed the door open.

The moment the door opened, Fang Yusheng threw out his cane, straightened his back, and arrogantly walked out.

Fang Mu followed him out. He stared at Fang Yusheng’s back and did not look away for a long time. This time, they had shed all pretenses. The internal strife between the two brothers was about to begin. Fang Mu looked in the direction of the hospital’s entrance, and a huge question arose in his heart.

What is the surprise Fang Yusheng mentioned just now?

This uncontrollable and unpredictable feeling was annoying.

***

Fang Yusheng got into the car and took off his sunglasses.

He gently touched his eyes, thinking of the dark memory when he was fifteen and had just learned that he was blind.

At that time, he had been naive. He had thought that the snake had coincidentally appeared near his house and happened to bite him. After all, there was a forest near his house. Later on, he heard from his doctor that the snake’s poison was not ordinary. It was a snake that came from Australia. Only then did Fang Yusheng suspect this matter.

It was too suspicious for an Australian viper to appear in England.

Fang Yusheng had been a privileged person. He was arrogant, insufferably arrogant. Suddenly being blind had been a fatal blow to him.

During that time, he had lived in a daze and even had the thought of committing suicide.

Later on, he slowly accepted the fact that he was blind and tried his best to adapt to the darkness, trying hard to not look like a useless person. He managed to hang on after much difficulty. However, someone had come after his life then. He had thought he would die, but then, Qiao Jiusheng had saved him.

That experience of the assassination taught him how to endure and disguise himself.

Now that he thought about those past events, he could finish explaining them in a few sentences. However, these few sentences had made Fang Yusheng suffer for nearly fifteen years.

He was not a saint. How could he not hate Fang Mu?

He could not wait to tear his tendons and skin him!

But he did not want him to die too easily.

“Bufan, is the report of the venom out?”

Qi Bufan nodded and did not give him the report. He only said, “Just as you guessed. It’s the venom from the same snake.”

Fang Yusheng remained silent.

He knew that this would be the outcome.

He looked out the window and saw the fleeting view. Determination flashed in his eyes. “Bufan, it’s time to start the plan.”

Qi Bufan finally turned around and looked at him.

“Okay.”

***

Even though Fang Yusheng said that he would not threaten him with his son, Fang Mu was still worried.

He immediately went to the Fang family’s house and brought Fang Shan back to his own home. He also hired a group of bodyguards at a high price. White Night was on duty to protect Fang Shan.

Fang Mu’s actions were not small.

Ever since Fang Pingjue’s accident, many people who dealt with benefits turned their attention to the Fang family.

They were people who took advantage of the situation. Once they realized that the Fang family’s trend was wrong, they could stand on time. Although Fang Yusheng was blind and his chances of winning were not high, who could be sure that a blind person was unable to do anything? Besides, even if Fang Yusheng was blind, he was a blind person from MIT, a high-class blind person.

He could not be underestimated.

Fang Yusheng paid attention to Fang Mu’s every move. Naturally, Fang Mu did the same to him.

So, when Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng went to the hospital together the next day, the news of them going to the Gynecology Department immediately reached Fang Mu. When he heard this news, he got upset.

He was frustrated not because that blind Fang Yusheng had a descendant, but because of Qi Yunsheng.

Fang Mu could not tell what was going on. Every time he saw Qi Yunsheng, his heart would ache. This time, the news of Qi Yunsheng’s pregnancy made him even more upset.

***

As Qiao Jiusheng waited for the ultrasound, she was quite worried about the child.

The couple sat on the sofa in the resting area with the other people who had come to check on their children. Qiao Jiusheng stared at the women’s bellies and was quite envious. She bumped Fang Yusheng’s arm and said, “I’m a little nervous.”

Fang Yusheng held her hand and gently patted it.

Qiao Jiusheng took a deep breath and told Fang Yusheng her worries. “If our child has a miscarriage or hasn’t developed…”

Pa!

Fang Yusheng lightly slapped her on the mouth.

Qiao Jiusheng closed her mouth and glared at him.

“Don’t say bad things.”

Originally, Fang Yusheng did not expect this. However, after hearing her words, he was also a little worried.

Qiao Jiusheng felt that she had run her mouth and deserved a beating.

She spat on the ground and smacked her lips again. She was still worried.

There were four people in front of her, so it was boring to just sit there. Qiao Jiusheng’s brown eyes darted around as she leaned close to Fang Yusheng’s ear. “Let’s have a bet.”

Fang Yusheng attentively listened. “On what?”

“Let’s bet on whether our child is a boy or a girl.”

Fang Yusheng raised the ends of his eyes high, and his long black eyelashes trembled. How could he bet on that?

“Tell me more details.”

Qiao Jiusheng explained in detail and said, “Whoever makes the wrong bet will agree to one request.”
