Reincarnation: I Married My Ex’s Brother-Chapter 235 - His Face Was Even Thicker Than Behind a Bronze Wall

The moment Qiao Sen arrived at the company, his secretary, Li Yue, entered his office to report her work.

She was dressed in the company’s custom-made office wear. However, her skirt was styled and cut short by three centimeters, lengthening the curves of her legs. Her legs looked white, straight, and seductive.

Li Yue was not dressed properly, but when she worked, she was very serious and professional.

Li Yue reported to Qiao Sen the schedule of the day and closed the folder. When she saw that Qiao Sen did not even look up and was still maintaining his posture ever since she had entered the room, her eyes turned gloomy. She said, “President Qiao, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard Qiao Sen say, “Secretary Li, go to the finance department after work and ask them to pay you this month’s salary and another 500,000 yuan.” His tone was a little cold, but Li Yue did not notice it.

Li Yue only heard “500,000 yuan.”

She was stunned.

Is President Qiao planning to support me?

However, supporting her should not be done by looking for the finance department to get money…

“President Qiao, this… this is not good…”

Li Yue was elated, but she maintained a troubled expression.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sen looked up with a serious expression. Li Yue’s acting skills were despicable, and he could tell at one glance that she was overjoyed.

Qiao Sen was a little surprised. I’m about to fire her, yet she is happy?

Is she a fool?

Qiao Sen realized that there was a misunderstanding between them, so he kindly explained, “There’s nothing wrong. The employment contract clearly states that if Party A fires Party B for no reason, they have to pay Party B half a year’s salary, which is 500,000 yuan, for the breach of contract.” After Qiao Sen said that, he saw Li Yue’s face suddenly turn pale. He confirmed that Li Yue had misunderstood his earlier words.

Qiao Sen thought about it and realized what Li Yue had misunderstood. He suddenly snorted.

The office was quite big, and this cold snort made Li Yue’s calves tremble.

“Miss Li, when did I give you the illusion that I need a lover?” My relationship with Ji Qing is excellent. These blind idiots!

When he recalled how Ji Qing had seen the lipstick on his shirt when he got home last night, Qiao Sen got furious.

Qiao Sen looked puzzled, and a confused expression appeared on his handsome face. Staring at Li Yue’s pretty face, he humbly asked, “May I ask who gave you the wrong idea and made you feel that you’re more charismatic than my wife?” His expression changed, and he expressionlessly pointed at the dressing mirror in the office. “Please look in the mirror more often.”

Li Yue was confused.

Qiao Sen said, “When you see your face in the mirror, you will realize that sometimes, you’re too confident. That’s called being blind.”

Li Yue: “…”

What a vicious mouth!

That morning, Li Yue ran out of Qiao Sen’s office crying.

Qiao Sen heaved a sigh of relief after Li Yue left.

He swore to never find a female secretary again.

Then, he quickly picked up his phone and texted his wife.

[Honey, I fired that secretary surnamed Li. Look, I’m loyal to you enough. Honey… what are you doing?]

After sending the message, Qiao Sen continued to work. However, he was no longer focused. He pricked up his ears, prepared to listen to the sound of his phone at any time.

When Ji Qing saw his message, the corners of her lips subconsciously curled up.

Ding Dong!

The moment the message sound rang, Qiao Sen immediately opened his phone and saw Ji Qing’s reply.

Wife: “Dating with a beauty.”

Qiao Sen’s heart turned cold.

In the tearoom, Fang Yusheng heard Ji Qing’s phone message ring. He apologetically smiled and said, “I took the liberty to invite you. Did I cause trouble for you, Sister-in-law?” Fang Yusheng was very considerate and called Ji Qing Sister-in-law the moment they met.

Ji Qing looked at him with a faint smile.

She was smart, and so was Fang Yusheng. The marriage alliance between the Fang family and the Qiao family was over. Ji Qing knew exactly why Fang Yusheng called her sister-in-law. She threw her phone into her pocket and ignored Qiao Sen’s roar.

“It’s no trouble.” Ji Qing knew that Fang Yusheng could not see, so she raised the teapot and poured him a cup of tea. Pouring the tea, she softly said with a faint smile, “Although you and Sister Yunsheng have already registered your marriage, it seems a little late to congratulate you now. However, I still have to tell you…”

Ji Qing raised her teacup and took a sip before saying, “Congratulations!”

Fang Yusheng accepted her congratulations. “Thank you!”

“It might be a good thing if she marries you,” Ji Qing ambiguously said.

Fang Yusheng pretended not to understand what she meant and said, “We have a good relationship and are loving and harmonious. We will definitely grow old together in the future.”

Ji Qing chuckled.

“Did anyone say that you’re shameless?”

Fang Yusheng smiled and took those words as a compliment.

He used his right index finger to push the teacup and play with it. Ji Qing did not speak and only drank tea. Suddenly, Fang Yusheng retracted his finger, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Ji Qing. Puzzled, Ji Qing took the piece of paper and looked at it with surprise.

“Xiao Sheng is pregnant!” she subconsciously said.

In that moment of surprise, Ji Qing forgot to change her words.

However, Ji Qing was so happy that she did not notice she had exposed herself.

When Fang Yusheng heard this sentence, he knew that he was not wrong.

Ji Qing had indeed recognized Qiao Jiusheng long ago.

He was amazed. This Sister-in-law Ji Qing is really a smart person.

“And twins at that.” Ji Qing touched the ultrasound scan and thought that perhaps, being pregnant with twins could really be inherited.

Qiao Jiusheng’s mother gave birth to her and Qiao Jiuyin. Qiao Jiuyin married Fang Mu and was pregnant with twins. Qiao Jiusheng married Fang Yusheng and was also pregnant with twins.

Ji Qing was happy for Xiao Sheng, but she was also envious of her.

Early in their marriage, she and Qiao Sen did not want a child and had been avoiding pregnancy. Now, all these years, they wanted a child. But perhaps because she was older now, it was not easy for Ji Qing to get pregnant.

“Yes, the children are very healthy.” Fang Yusheng smiled as well.

Ji Qing held the report and said, “I have a rude request…”

“Please speak.”

“This, this paper, can you give it to me?” Seeing Fang Yusheng frown, Ji Qing quickly explained, “Isn’t our Old Master confused? I don’t know what happened, but he always thinks that Sister Yunsheng is our Xiao Sheng. Before I came here today, he was nagging me at home to see Xiao Sheng.

“I want to show this report to him. Do you think… it’s okay?”

Since Qiao Jiusheng refused to tell her the truth, Ji Qing would pretend to be unaware.

However, the old man’s health was getting worse and worse. Ji Qing wanted to show the old man this report so that he could be at ease.

Ji Qing believed that Fang Yusheng dared to borrow the Qiao family’s jewelry despite knowing that they did not lend to outsiders because he was hinting that Qi Yunsheng and Qiao Jiusheng were the same person. He did not say it clearly because he had his plans.

If she was right, Fang Yusheng would definitely agree to her seemingly rude request.

As expected, Fang Yusheng agreed to her.

“Sure.”

Ji Qing was completely relieved.

Xiao Sheng is still alive.

She is really alive!

Although Ji Qing had already confirmed that Qi Yunsheng was Xiao Sheng, she was still uneasy if the person involved did not admit it.

Now.

“Thank you for understanding.” Ji Qing slipped the report into her bag.

On the other hand, Fang Yusheng said, “I looked for Sister-in-law today because I have a favor to ask of you.”

Ji Qing did not reply.

Fang Yusheng continued, “Ah Sheng especially likes your family’s jewelry series crown for love. She hopes to wear them at the wedding. I know that this set of jewelry cannot be lent out, but Ah Sheng really likes it…”

At this point, Fang Yusheng paused and showed a loving expression. He said, “Our Ah Sheng, she has suffered a lot. I love to pamper her and can’t wait to give her everything she likes. Although I can’t make up for the pain she has suffered, I’m very happy to be able to fulfill her request.”

Fang Yusheng tapped his finger on the edge of the cup. He awkwardly smiled and asked Ji Qing, “Sister-in-law, can you make it easier?”

Ji Qing faintly smiled again.

“Fang Yusheng, you’re quite a thief.” He deliberately made Xiao Sheng sound so pitiful to evoke Ji Qing’s pity and love.

Xiao Sheng had indeed suffered a lot.

When she was 13, she had seen her parents being brutally killed with her own eyes. She had been crazy for nearly two years, and then she had gotten into a car accident. Ji Qing did not know what happened between Qiao Jiusheng and Qiao Jiuyin that left Qiao Jiusheng with no choice but to disguise herself. Xiao Sheng did not even dare to go home and had to seek Fang Yusheng’s protection.

She had suffered more than anyone.

Ji Qing loved Qiao Jiusheng from the bottom of her heart, so there was naturally no reason for her to refuse Fang Yusheng’s request.

Fang Yusheng was despicable.

However, he was so despicable that she could not hate him.

Fang Yusheng quickly flattered her. “Sister-in-law, Grandpa has already acknowledged me as his granddaughter’s son-in-law. If you say a few more good words in front of him, he will definitely lend it to you. Besides, Brother Qiao dotes on you very much. As long as you ask him, Brother Qiao will not reject you.

“Sister-in-law, you look like a kind sister-in-law. You hit it off with Ah Sheng too. With you handling this matter, it won’t be difficult!”

Ji Qing admired Fang Yusheng’s shamelessness.

How could he say such things?

Not wanting to hear his nonsense again, Ji Qing spoke before he could say anything more shameful. “Grandpa has already agreed. We will get someone to send it to you on the day before the wedding.”

Fang Yusheng was finally relieved.

“I can’t thank you enough.”

He could finally get a wife.

Not to mention what kind of joke the Old Master made after Ji Qing returned home and handed Qiao Jiusheng’s pregnancy test report to him.

***

Fang Yusheng took a plane back to Binjiang City that day. He did not bring Qi Bufan along this time, and the chauffeur came to pick him up.

The car returned to the Fang family home and drove into the house. Fang Yusheng saw a Bentley parked outside his house.

He narrowed his eyes and sized up the car. If he was not wrong, this was Fang Mu’s car.

Fang Yusheng touched his cane and suppressed his doubts. He pretended to be unaware and got out of the car.

“Sir, you’re back?”

On his return trip, Fang Yusheng had bought Qiao Jiusheng a new set of skincare products at the airport. Because she was pregnant, she did not use her old ones anymore.

Nodding at Aunt Jin, Fang Yusheng carried the bag and said toward the living room, “Ah Sheng, are you there? I’ve bought back what you wanted.”

In the living room, only Fang Mu was sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee in front of him.

He looked up at Fang Yusheng.

“Sister-in-law should be resting.” Fang Mu had already been here for more than half an hour, but he had never seen Qi Yunsheng. He was beginning to suspect that Qi Yunsheng did not like him and was hiding upstairs on purpose.

When Fang Yusheng heard Fang Mu’s voice, the smile on his face dissipated.

“It’s you?”

Fang Yusheng’s tone was filled with disdain and impatience.

He always had this attitude toward Fang Mu. Fang Mu frowned but did not say anything.

Fang Yusheng carried his things and slowly walked to the sofa. He found his seat and sat down. As soon as he sat down, Aunt Jin handed him a cup of warm and pure water. Fang Yusheng happened to be thirsty and drank it all in one gulp.

Fang Yusheng put down his cup. It was placed dangerously by the coffee table and could fall at any time.

Fang Mu glanced at the cup. He knew that the cup would fall, but he did not remind him.

Fang Yusheng snorted and asked Fang Mu, “What are you doing here? If you have something to say, say it. If not, scram! I don’t welcome you here.” Ever since he had torn his facade in front of Fang Mu, Fang Yusheng could not be bothered to act in front of him. The more he despised him, the more disgusted he looked.

Fang Mu took a deep breath and told himself not to be angry at this idiot. Only then did he resist the urge to kill him.

“I heard that Sister-in-law is pregnant.” Fang Mu saw that the man’s expression seemed to have softened a little. He sneered in his heart. His chest also felt a little stuffy. “I brought two boxes of calcium tablets that are suitable for pregnant women. I heard that they have excellent effects on pregnant women.”

Fang Yusheng smiled and asked, “Brother… Oh, it’s time to say Miss Qiao. Did Miss Qiao eat this when she was pregnant?”

Fang Mu frowned. He felt that his brother had ulterior motives for asking this, but he still nodded. “Yes, she was eating this.”

“Oh, then there’s no need. You should take it back.” Fang Yusheng firmly rejected him.

Fang Mu’s expression darkened as he heard Fang Yusheng say, “It’s better to eat fewer health supplements of unknown origin, especially for pregnant women. If anything happens to them, such as fetal deformity, they won’t have a place to cry if they regret it in the future.”
