Reincarnation: I Married My Ex’s Brother - Chapter 313

Chapter 313: Fang… Iron Egg Fang?

Zhuang Long wiped his mouth with his handkerchief. He felt that he should talk to Xiao Li. Although he didn’t love Xiao Li, Xiao Li was his wife. Just because he didn’t love this woman, it didn’t mean that he was willing to be cuckolded.

As it concerned his dignity as a man, Zhuang Long had to make Xiao Li realize her mistake.

Zhuang Long was about to say something when Xiao Li opened the diamond-studded bag beside her and took out a few pieces of paper. She used her slender fingers to hold the papers and pushed them across the table to Zhuang Long.

A puzzled and surprised look appeared in his eyes. Zhuang Long raised his eyebrows and picked up the papers. He didn’t open them. He just asked Xiao Li, “What’s this?” The doubt in his eyes was clear.

“You’ll know when you open them.” Xiao Li drank the last mouthful of her Martini. Her light blue eyes were filled with laziness.

Zhuang Long frowned and flipped open the papers with confusion.

He caught sight of the first two words on the paper.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT!

Zhuang Long, who seemed to be perpetually cynical and unconcerned, suddenly became ruthless.

“Divorce.” Contrary to his ruthless gaze, his voice was cold and calm. He said the word “divorce” very calmly. Zhuang Long held the papers and looked up at Xiao Li across from him with a casual smile.

Xiao Li nodded. “That’s right. Divorce.” She was smiling too.

His gaze paused on her smile for a second. Zhuang Long suddenly changed the topic and asked Xiao Li, “You don’t have a banquet to attend tonight?”

Xiao Li nodded again.

The violence in Zhuang Long’s eyes intensified, and the carelessness on his face faded. His entire being exuded a dangerous aura. When he spoke again, his tone was still calm and composed. “You’re dressed like this just to divorce me?”

His emotions did not seem to fluctuate, even when he was facing a divorce.

Xiao Li nodded and said, “Yes, we have to look decent when we get a divorce.” She looked straight at Zhuang Long and saw the look in his eyes. She calmly said, “After all, I was too ugly when we got married.”

She was right. Their marriage had started badly.

Logically speaking, Zhuang Long should’ve been happy that Xiao Li was willing to divorce him. However, he instead felt frustrated and depressed.

His gaze fell on Xiao Li.

Zhuang Long looked at her seriously. He rarely looked Xiao Li in the eye. To him, Xiao Li was a woman who would do anything to get what she wanted. In order to get him, she had even used her child to tie him up. However, he had to admit that this scheming woman also had a beauty that made his heart race.

She looked especially beautiful tonight. Her clothes, her looks, and her smile were also beautiful.

Zhuang Long took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He then chuckled and said to Xiao Li in an extremely sarcastic tone, “Xiao Li, you look really ugly like this.”

When Xiao Li heard this, her expression changed slightly. However, she didn’t seem angry at all. She was still smiling, like a bright star shining brightly.

Tonight, she was so beautiful that Zhuang Long could not take his eyes off her. He admired her beauty, but not her.

Zhuang Long also realized that his tone was unpleasant, but he could not control his emotions.

The woman drank some wine and left her lipstick stain on the cup. She then took out her lipstick and a small mirror to touch up her sexy lips in front of Zhuang Long. Zhuang Long’s throat tightened, and he narrowed his eyes. Xiao Li’s charm had been enhanced. She pursed her lips and turned her head to look at Zhuang Long. Her blue eyes were calm, and her lips were red. Only then did she speak up.

She said, “You can only see my ugliness, my deep thoughts, and my unbearableness. But naturally, there are others who admire my beauty and intelligence.

“Zhuang Long, you always look down on me. You only see me as someone who used tricks to force you to marry me, but you don’t see me as someone who gave up the inheritance of the Lawson clan for you.” The Lawson clan was a large clan that had stood strong for hundreds of years. This clan’s wealth was unimaginable, but this clan also had countless unimaginable family rules.

One of them was the most famous and most infuriating rule: No family member was allowed to marry an outsider.

In other words, the members of the Lawson family married their relatives, who were three generations apart. The children they gave birth to were either extremely smart or extremely stupid. In Xiao Li’s generation, there were a total of thirteen children. Four of them had died young, one was deformed, three were demented, one had inherited heart disease, two were ordinary, and the remaining two were extremely intelligent and talented businessmen.

Although this family rule was abnormal and unreasonable, the Lawson family had always followed it.

Why?

Because even if one of the dozens of children was a genius, everything was worth it!

One could imagine how much Xiao Li, who had fallen in love with Zhuang Long, had to pay to be together with him.

To marry Zhuang Long, Xiao Li first had to give up the right to inherit the Lawson family name. Secondly, all of her assets were taken back by the family. Apart from Zhuang Long and the child in her stomach, Xiao Li had nothing at that time. However, such a person who had a deep obsession with Zhuang Long had actually gotten over it now and wanted to divorce him!

Zhuang Long also thought of those things.

For a moment, he became silent.

He had thought that this woman would pester him for the rest of his life without letting go.

Xiao Li stood up and walked over to Zhuang Long in her high heels. She took out a pen from her bag, bent down, and quickly signed her name.

Clarice Lawson!

Zhuang Long looked at the name in a daze. He had almost forgotten Xiao Li’s real name.

“All these years, we’ve been spending our own money, and there’s no dispute over funds. I’m not greedy for your name, and neither are you greedy for my wealth. Zhuang Long, sign this.” Xiao Li handed the pen to Zhuang Long.

Looking down at the pen, Zhuang Long suddenly asked, “What about Qilin? If we get a divorce, Qilin will be sent to another family.” America’s laws were perverted and arbitrary. Even though they did not lack money, the government would not allow single people to raise children. The reason was that single people could not provide a normal environment for children to grow up in.

This was very outrageous, but Zhuang Long and Xiao Li had to abide by it.

“You don’t have to worry about that, either. Maybe, I’ll remarry soon. Qilin will still be with me. He won’t be taken away.”

Marry again?

Zhuang Long’s gaze turned gloomy. He had yet to sign the divorce agreement, and she was already planning to remarry…

Xiao Li continued, “Besides, with my current ability, I can still make him stay.”

Zhuang Long was so angry that he laughed. “You’ve arranged everything. If I don’t sign it, won’t I ruin your plans?” Zhuang Long took the pen and signed his name.

Looking at his signature, Zhuang Long was stunned for a second. He felt uncomfortable.

He was empty. It didn’t hurt. It just felt awful.

That night, Zhuang Long logged into the OK app and found that it was lifeless.

Yan Nuo and Ji Yinbing were in a conflict. Fang Yusheng was busy taking care of his wife and children, so he naturally didn’t have time to go online. Zhuang Long stared at the group chat for a long time before sending a message.

Zhuang Long: [I’m single again, smiling face.] Despite the message, Zhuang Long couldn’t smile behind the screen.

The group was silent.

Zhuang Long suddenly became angry.

D*mn it!

Now, even my friends are ignoring me!

He was angry for more than ten minutes before someone replied to him.

Yan Nuo: [Congratulations.]

Zhuang Long was stunned. I got divorced, but Yan Nuo said congratulations?

Zhuang Long: [Congratulations for what?]

Yan Nuo: [Aren’t you a bachelor now? In the past, you always said that you wanted a divorce, but unfortunately, Xiao Li didn’t agree. Now that you have finally gotten a divorce, of course, I have to congratulate you.]

Zhuang Long was stunned.

Yes, I’m a bachelor!

An: [A bachelor?]

An: [Don’t cry and beg Xiao Li to remarry you in the future. We will look down on you.]

Zhuang Long immediately replied to Fang Yusheng: [Would I cry and beg her to remarry me? Pfft! Back then, I married Xiao Li because my brain was clogged with water. I’m normal now. I shook my head just now, and there’s no more water.]

Suzanne jumped out too.

Suzanne: [You’re waiting to be slapped.]

An: [You’re waiting to be slapped.]

Yan Nuo: [You’re waiting to be slapped.]

Ji Yinbing: [You’re waiting to be slapped.]

Yan Nuo: [Where are you @JiYinbing.]

Ji Yinbing ignored Yan Nuo’s words and sent another message to congratulate Fang Yusheng.

Ji Yinbing: [An, congratulations on becoming a daddy. I’m about to give you a gift. Let me know when you receive it.]

Fang Yusheng glanced at Yan Nuo’s and Ji Yinbing’s avatars. It seemed like Ji Yinbing had no intention of forgiving Ah Nuo.

An: [Okay.]

Yan Nuo: [Bing Bing, private chat.]

Ji Yinbing: [Everyone, I’m going offline.]

Then, Ji Yinbing went offline.

Before Yan Nuo could open Ji Yinbing’s profile picture to chat with her, he received a notification that Ji Yinbing had gone offline.

He instantly felt the gunshot wound on his chest begin to hurt again.

Suzanne: [Ah Nuo, what did you do with that beautiful snake next to you?]

Yan Nuo: [I gave her away.]

Yan Nuo had said that he was going to give Weila away. and he really gave her to a small gang leader as a slave. That leader didn’t have any other hobbies other than playing games with people.

Suzanne: [That’s harsh enough.]

Yan Nuo: [Doesn’t she like to climb onto men’s beds? I’ll send her to the pile of men and let her climb to her heart’s content.]

Fang Yusheng took a screenshot of the message and sent it to Ji Yinbing.

After going offline, Fang Yusheng said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Zhuang Long and Xiao Li have divorced.”

Qiao Jiusheng, who was drinking soup, was shocked by this. “He really divorced her?”

“Yeah.”

Qiao Jiusheng always felt that Zhuang Long had some love for Xiao Li, yet they had actually divorced. This made her unable to accept it for a moment. She sighed and said, “They’re really not suitable to be together. It’s good that they divorced.”

“Just you wait! Zhuang Long will cry in the future.” Fang Yusheng could already foresee Zhuang Long’s miserable future.

Qiao Jiusheng asked him, “You also think Zhuang Long has feelings for Xiao Li?”

“If he didn’t have any feelings for her, would he have started a fight when they were arguing?” Zhuang Long’s actions at their wedding were enough to prove his feelings for Xiao Li.

If he really ended this marriage, he would suffer in the future.

Qiao Jiusheng agreed with him.

“Help me get off the bed so I can walk for a while. The doctor said to walk more.”

“Okay.”

After staying in the hospital for five days, Qiao Jiusheng had been finally discharged.

They were still staying on the first floor for the time being. Once Qiao Jiusheng’s wound recovered, they would move upstairs.

Fang Yusheng bathed the children and changed their diapers. Then, he carried them to bask in the sun. Qiao Jiusheng sat very comfortably during her confinement. Apart from breastfeeding, there was basically nothing for her to worry about.

When she registered the children’s identities on the household register, Fang Yusheng asked for Qiao Jiusheng’s opinion. In the end, the eldest son was named Fang Zicheng and the second son was named Fang Zikai. Qiao Jiusheng gave the elder brother a nickname, while Fang Yusheng gave the younger brother a nickname.

The older brother was so quiet. He didn’t cry much, and his eyes were dark.

That day, Qiao Jiusheng ate a braised egg. The braised egg was produced in Taiwan. It was black and looked especially good. Qiao Jiusheng caught a glimpse of the words on the packaging and suddenly said to Fang Yusheng, “The older brother’s nickname will be Iron egg, alright?”

Fang Yusheng, who was sunbathing with the two kids, was so shocked that he woke up.

“Iron… Iron Egg? Iron Egg Fang?” Fang Yusheng wanted to wipe his tears for his eldest son.

Qiao Jiusheng nodded and said, “Yes, Iron egg sounds nice and nice… and delicious.” She looked up at Fang Yusheng and asked, “Is it not nice?”

Fang Yusheng looked at his fair and tender baby and hesitated. His eyes were filled with sympathy and shock.

“Y-yes… It sounds good…”
