Reincarnation: I Married My Ex’s Brother - Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Wishing You a Divorce

In the detention center…

Fang Mu was surprised to hear that someone was visiting him.

When he found out that this someone who came to visit him was Fang Yusheng, two proverbs appeared in his mind.

A cat crying over a mouse has fake kindness.

A weasel that sends new year greetings to chickens is up to no good.

It had only been a day, but Fang Mu’s hair seemed to have turned a little white, and he looked very haggard as well. He was dressed in a blue uniform issued by the detention center. Sitting on a chair, he coldly stared at Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng had worn a wine-red shirt and sat behind the glass wall like a demon.

Fang Mu had reason to suspect that Fang Yusheng had worn such festive clothes on purpose.

While Fang Mu was observing Fang Yusheng, Fang Yusheng was also doing the same to him. He was delighted to see Fang Mu’s miserable state, and his eyes were filled with joy.

Looking at Fang Mu, Fang Yusheng remained silent.

If he did not speak, Fang Mu would not speak either.

Only after three to four minutes did Fang Mu break the silence with a scoff.

“After fighting for so many years, you still won.” Fang Mu sounded quite calm.

At this point, his anger and agitation were useless. He might as well calm down and not make himself look too ugly.

Even though he had won, Fang Yusheng did not laugh.

He looked at Fang Mu, who was his younger brother in name. He tried to find similarities between his and Fang Mu’s faces, but found that there were none.

They were not born from the same mother.

No wonder he hated his younger brother so much.

Fang Yusheng didn’t say anything, and Fang Mu didn’t mind that. He gently rubbed his right hand’s fingers and thumb back and forth. Fang Yusheng looked at him as he rubbed his fingers. After a while, Fang Mu suddenly said, “I have a grudge against you, but Fang Shan doesn’t.” After saying that, Fang Mu raised his head and looked at Fang Yusheng. His gaze was somewhat bitter.

“Fang Yusheng, please spare my son’s life.” When he begged, his tone was still domineering.

Based on Fang Yusheng’s character, he would not give that brat a way out. However, Fang Yusheng thought of Qiao Jusheng, who was pregnant with the two little fellows, and his heart softened. He snorted softly and said, “I will hand him over to Aunt Xu. If he’s honest in the future, I will treat him as a member of the Fang family. If he becomes an ingrate…”

Fang Yusheng did not continue.

Fang Mu understood what he meant.

He felt that Fang Shan would not be an ingrate in the future. Fang Shan was not like him, nor was he like his mother. Fang Shan would be like his name. He would be kind, righteous, and live a peaceful life.

The visit was short. Fang Yusheng asked Fang Mu, “What else do you have to say?”

Fang Mu found it ironic.

He had fallen into Fang Yusheng’s trap, and in the end, he still had to explain the aftermath to him.

After some thought, Fang Mu said, “Xiao Sheng…”

“She has nothing to do with you.” Fang Yusheng frowned when he heard him mention Qiao Jiusheng.

Fang Mu continued to say, “Don’t tell her about me.” Just like Fang Yusheng, Fang Mu wanted to leave a good impression on Qiao Jiusheng.

Fang Yusheng thought to himself: You’re too late. I’ve already said what I shouldn’t have said.

“Especially about me and Cheng Ke. Don’t tell her…” Fang Mu’s eyes were a little red. “Fang Yusheng, please leave some dignity for me in front of her.” At this moment, his tone softened.

“Don’t worry, I won’t say it.” If he did, it would only increase Ah Sheng’s sympathy for Fang Mu. He would only say it if he were stupid.

There were only two minutes left in the visit. Fang Yusheng asked again, “Anything else?”

Fang Mu narrowed his eyes and opened them again. He smiled.

His smile was still arrogant. When there was only one minute left, Fang Mu spoke. He shouted, “Fang Yusheng, I wish you a divorce and a lonely life!”

When Fang Yusheng heard this, his face darkened. Anger crept onto his good-looking face. He immediately stood up, grabbed the stool under him, raised it, and smashed it directly at Fang Mu, who was at the other end of the glass wall. However, the quality of the glass was excellent. It wasn’t smashed; it was probably bulletproof.

“What are you doing!”

The prison guards walked over, and the two of them pulled Fang Mu away. This was the first time they had seen a fight using surveillance cameras.

Fang Yusheng was fuming when he left the detention center.

When he got home, he saw Qi Bufan standing at the door of his house. He raised his eyebrows, walked over, and said, “It’s been hard on you.” Last time, he almost got AIDS, and this time, he was sent to destroy the high-voltage electric line. Fang Yusheng felt pity for Qi Bufan.

Qi Bufan nodded.

“I’ve already let him go,” he said.

He did not specify who he was referring to.

Fang Yusheng’s face darkened. “Well done.”

Seeing that Qi Bufan seemed to have something else to say, Fang Yusheng glanced at him and coldly said, “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t waste your breath!”

Qi Bufan hurriedly said, “You should give me a raise.”

Fang Yusheng’s expression changed.

He stared at Qi Bufan and suddenly sneered. “I’ve already bought you a house. It’s not a villa, but it’s still 180 square meters in area.”

Qi Bufan asked, “What house?”

“Didn’t you say that the houses in Binjiang City are so expensive that you can’t even afford a toilet outside the Third Ring Road?” Fang Yusheng smiled meaningfully. “I bought you a house in Cang Dragon District. The environment there is good, and the security is reliable. There are kindergartens, and primary, middle, and high schools nearby. When you have children in the future, they can study there.”

Qi Bufan looked at Fang Yusheng in shock.

“Re-really?” he excitedly stammered.

“It’s true. Your name is written on it.” Fang Yusheng saw Qi Bufan’s grateful look and couldn’t help but smile. He kindly reminded him, “When you find a wife, the house will be yours.”

Qi Bufan was speechless.

Bullying me for being single?

“When this is over, I want to apply for leave,” Qi Bufan said loudly. “I want to find a wife!”

“Sure.” Seeing that Qi Bufan’s heart was about to fly away, Fang Yusheng added. “It won’t be paid leave.”

Qi Bufan was still very happy.

After that, Qi Bufan suddenly remembered something. Five years ago, the Cang Dragon District had started to build new buildings. The location was good, the facilities were good, the publicity was good, but the prices were expensive. However, the rich people had robbed all the houses at the opening of the market. Later, when the houses were built, it was impossible to buy them.

When did Young Master buy me a house?

Did he buy it for me five years ago?

Qi Bufan was touched.

I was wrong. I shouldn’t have scolded Young Master Fang.

Fang Yusheng was in a better mood after Qi Bufan’s ruckus. He returned to his room and saw that Qiao Jiusheng had already woken up. She was sitting under the roof and carving a fist-sized white jade. He walked over to take a look and saw that she was carving a smiling Buddha. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly asked, “When are you going to carve me?”

Qiao Jiusheng did not look up and focused on carving. However, she said, “Wait until I find the most beautiful jade.”

She finally put down the carving knife and raised her head to look at Fang Yusheng. She gave him a smile so beautiful that it made his heart flutter. She then said, “The best jade deserves the best subject.”

Fang Yusheng’s anger toward Fang Mu was completely extinguished by Qiao Jiusheng’s words.

He could not help but tease her. “Am I the most handsome person in your heart?”

Qiao Jiusheng could not retort.

She thought that in many people’s hearts, he was the most handsome.

“Why don’t we open a jade shop?”

Qiao Jiusheng’s interest was piqued. “Tell me in detail.”

“We’ll just open a small shop and sell only jade pieces that you personally carve. The prices will be up to you, and the target market will also be decided by you.” Fang Yusheng wanted Qiao Jiusheng to live happily and do what she loved the most.

Qiao Jiusheng imagined that scene and immediately yearned for it.

“We can do that. The jade shop will be called Unbroken.”

“Okay.”

“Where will you set up the store?”

“Binjiang City, of course.”

“Of course.” Qiao Jiusheng thought for a while and said, “How about this? We’ll open the shop in the busy city. It’ll be the quiet in the midst of chaos, low-key and luxurious. Isn’t that great?”

Fang Yusheng agreed with this and said, “The card’s in your hands. If you need money, just use it.”

Qiao Jiusheng felt that he was very generous today, which made her suspicious.

“Fang Yusheng, did you do something behind my back?”

Fang Yusheng’s heart sank. “No way.” He refused to admit that he had gone to see Fang Mu today.

Qiao Jiusheng looked at him suspiciously but did not pursue the matter.

The location of the jade artifact shop had not been set yet, but Fang Mu’s case was about to begin. Fang Yusheng was the victim, so he had to attend the court hearing. As an observer, Qiao Jiusheng had to attend as well. Early in the morning, she arrived at the court before anyone else.

If she were late, she would be discovered the moment she appeared and definitely attract attention.

After all, both the defendant and the plaintiff in the court case today were related to her. One was her ex, and the other was her husband. Both of them had a close relationship with her.

As Fang Mu was brought into the court, his expression was very calm. When he glanced at Qiao Jiusheng, who was wearing a pink dress, from the corner of his eye, a child-like panic flashed across his eyes.

Qiao Jiusheng felt even more upset when she saw this.

For some reason, Fang Pingjue did not hand the video of Mu Chen’s death to the prosecutor. He also treated the snake bite incident as an accident. Perhaps he felt guilty toward Fang Mu.

However, Cheng Ke did not attend the court hearing as well.

While Fang Mu had been detained at the detention center, Cheng Ke had announced to the public that Fang Mu had imprisoned and tortured him for more than ten years. However, when the police and lawyers contacted him and wanted him to testify in court, Cheng Ke had rejected them.

Cheng Ke’s absence today was indeed surprising.

Qiao Jiusheng sat in the audience seats and glanced at the people listening in. She saw many faces she had seen before.

Fang Mu’s friends were all here, such as Liang Qiwen and the young masters of the Li Family and Luo Family. After knowing that Qi Yunsheng was Qiao Jiusheng, Liang Qiwen saw Qiao Jiusheng’s gaze sweep over him. He was stunned at first, but then he nodded at her as a greeting.

Qiao Jiusheng nodded in return. When she turned back, her emotions were a little complicated.

In the past, Liang Qiwen had a pretty good relationship with her, but now…

Things had changed; people had changed.

Many people sat in the empty seats beside her. Qiao Jiusheng turned around and saw Fang Yuqing, Fang Yu’an, and Xu Pingfei. They sat in a row with heavy hearts. The plaintiffs and defendants were their brothers, so they naturally could not feel happy.

“Sister-in-law Yun…” Fang Yuqing opened her mouth and was about to call Qiao Jiusheng when she remembered that her sister-in-law was not Qi Yunsheng. She was Qiao Jiusheng. Fang Yuqing awkwardly smiled and changed her words. “Sister-in-law, you’re early.”

Qiao Jiusheng nodded and said, “It’s good to come early.”

Fang Yuqing understood what she meant.

She looked at Fang Mu and Fang Yusheng and sighed.

“I really didn’t expect the two of them to come this far.”

“Yeah.”

The court session began.

This time, the top lawyer, Qin Ye, became Fang Yusheng’s defense lawyer. Qin Ye was smart and eloquent, and his gaze was as sharp as his tongue. When he had seen that Fang Mu was doomed, he took the initiative to become Fang Yusheng’s lawyer.

Fang Mu looked at Qin Ye and suddenly recalled the scene a few months ago when he had brought Qin Ye to force Qiao Jiuyin to sign the divorce agreement.

Thinking of this, Fang Mu was a little dazed.

“The defendant Fang Mu, do you admit to all these crimes?”

At this point, Fang Mu no longer tried to hide anything.

“I admit it.”

Fifteen years ago, he was the one who had ordered someone to find a poisonous snake to bite Fang Yusheng, causing the latter to lose his sight.

Eleven years ago, he was the one who had hired assassins to assassinate Fang Yusheng in Meng Hai.

Two months ago, he had hired someone to install a time bomb under Fang Yusheng’s car.

Eight days ago, he was also involved in Fang Yusheng’s disappearance.

Fang Mu didn’t know why Fang Pingjue didn’t expose the truth about Mu Chen’s murder seventeen years ago. He also didn’t understand why Fang Pingjue didn’t sue him for letting a poisonous snake bite him, due to which his left leg had to be amputated. He also didn’t understand why Cheng Ke, who had always wanted to kill him, didn’t jump out to testify this time.
