Chapter 314 - Oh, My Little Grandson
Chapter 314: Oh, My Little Grandson
“It’s nice…” Fang Yusheng said.
His wife liked it. Even if she gave his eldest son an insulting nickname like Idiot Dog Fang, it would still be nice.
Poor Fang Zicheng had a pair of parents who had tricked him. This had led to him instantly losing all his prestige and dominance when people addressed him respectfully as Big Brother Iron Egg.
The older brother had already been nicknamed Iron Egg. When Fang Yusheng gave his younger son his nickname, he chose a name that was not as simple and honest as Iron Egg. It was called… Quiet. The reason was that his younger son was especially active and loved to cry. Whenever he cried, he would throw a tantrum and refuse to stop.
Fang Yusheng could not help but yell at him a few times, but seeing how pitiful he was, he held himself back.
It was Fang Yusheng’s greatest wish to name his younger son Quiet.
He wished his younger son would be quieter, less troublesome, and more considerate…
However, Quiet Fang was destined to not be able to live in peace. He liked to chase chickens and dogs, and he was able to fight with powerful people. When he was seventeen, he even pressed the only daughter of the commander of the northern warzone of China under the cherry blossom tree in school and kissed her. After that, he had been beaten up by Fang Yusheng with a stick. However, Quiet Fang had refused to admit defeat and did not beg for mercy. After being beaten up, he had become more courageous and eventually got the beauty.

It was still cold on the day of the children’s one-month celebration.
The two little children were wrapped in blankets as their elders carried them.
On this day, Fang Yusheng’s aunt, Fang Qingyun, came to his house with her husband. When she saw Qiao Jiusheng, she became a little embarrassed. Last year, because of her, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yuqing had lost face in front of so many people. At that time, Fang Qingyun had thought that Qiao Jiusheng was a wild girl of unknown origins. Who knew that this wild girl was the real Qiao Jiusheng, and the “Qiao Jiusheng” Fang Qingyun had thought highly of was Qiao Jiuyin!
However, Fang Qingyun was Fang Yusheng’s aunt after all. As a junior, Qiao Jiusheng could not bear grudges against her.
Qiao Jiusheng greeted Fang Qingyun as her aunt and was no longer cold toward her.
Seeing that Qiao Jiusheng had taken the initiative to talk to her, Fang Qingyun realized that she had already given her a way out. If she still took advantage of Qiao Jiusheng, it would mean that she was insensible. Fang Qingyun tried her best to smile gently and patiently. She looked at the child in Qiao Jiusheng’s arms, who was playing with his eyes wide open, and her smile became gentler.
“The child is really good-looking.” Fang Qingyun really wanted to carry the child. However, she saw that Fang Yusheng was carrying the other child and talking to the guests, while Qiao Jiusheng had no intention of letting her hold her child. Thus, Fang Qingyun could only give up awkwardly.
She hadn’t come to the house empty-handed.
Today, these elders had prepared gifts for the two children. Whether it was a precious gift or something personally made, everything was a kind gesture. Fang Qingyun had also prepared gifts for her grandnephews. The gifts were two bracelets made of pure silver.
They weren’t expensive, but were exquisite and unique. The little bells on them looked especially cute.
When Qiao Jiusheng saw the gifts, her eyes warmed up.
She lowered her head and said to Fang Zicheng, “Zicheng, quickly thank Grandaunt.”
Fang Zicheng seemed to be looking at Fang Qingyun. He could not understand what Qiao Jiusheng was saying at all. He pursed his lips gently, neither crying nor making a fuss.
Qiao Jiusheng then said to Fang Zikai, “Zikai, thank Grandaunt for the gift.”
Fang Zikai’s small hands were exposed outside. He was sleeping, yet he could not stop moving. He was not just dreaming. When Qiao Jiusheng spoke, his small lips curled into a smile. When Fang Qingyun saw this, her heart turned warm.
She finally couldn’t take it anymore and softly asked Fang Yusheng, “Yusheng, can Auntie carry this child for a while?”
Fang Yusheng handed the child to her.
Fang Qingyun hugged the child and showed a loving expression. She smiled and said, “Both of them are smart. Yusheng, you’ve married a capable wife.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng looked up at Fang Qingyun.
Fang Yusheng nodded and agreed with what she said. He replied, “Of course! I told you long ago that Ah Sheng is very good, but you didn’t believe me.”
Fang Qingyun couldn’t maintain her smile.
Fang Yusheng had become a father, but he was still the same as before. He did not show any mercy to anyone.
At that moment, Xu Pingfei carried Fang Shan over.
The moment she saw Fang Qingyun carrying her little grandson, Xu Pingfei immediately handed Fang Shan to Fang Pingjue, who was sitting in the wheelchair beside her. “Carry Shan Shan.” After instructing Fang Pingjue, Xu Pingfei walked over to Qiao Jiusheng and the rest. Without saying a word, she snatched Fang Zikai from Fang Qingyun’s hands and gently held him in her arms.
She said, “Hey, my little grandson, are you happy to see Grandma!
“Grandma hasn’t carried you for two days. Do you miss Grandma?
“Hey, why is this child spitting out saliva? Is it uncomfortable to be carried by someone else? Oh, my good grandson still likes Grandma more, right?” Her tone became more and more exaggerated.
As she stood next to Xu Pingfei, Fang Qingyun’s expression turned ugly when she heard her words.
Xu Pingfei’s words were insinuating that Fang Zikai did not like Fang Qingyun, and she also called Fang Qingyun an outsider. Knowing that Xu Pingfei was bearing a grudge against her for what she did the last time, Fang Qingyun felt a little wronged. However, she had nothing to say.
Qiao Jiusheng had been quietly watching these two people bicker. She was very happy.
Xu Pingfei was indeed not someone to be trifled with.
Xu Pingfei carried Fang Zikai and waited for Fang Qingyun to leave before returning the child to Fang Yusheng. She then brought Fang Shan along with her.
Qiao Jiusheng looked at her back and asked Fang Yusheng, “In our previous life, Qingqing…”
Fang Yusheng’s expression froze.
Qiao Jiusheng saw this, and her heart skipped a beat. She tried to probe. “Qingqing wasn’t rescued, was she?”
Fang Yusheng sat down beside her with Fang Zikai in his arms and said, “Fang Mu had a business deal with Young Master Xu. Young Master Xu took a fancy to Qingqing because she was young and beautiful. He wanted… Qiao Jiuyin to matchmake Young Master Xu and Qingqing, so Qingqing committed suicide. Aunt Xu eventually lost her mind and became crazy. Yu’an took her away from the Fang family.”
When Fang Yusheng died, Aunt Xu was still alive. However, he had heard that her mental state was even worse.
Qiao Jiusheng did not hear him mention Fang Pingjue, so she asked, “Then what about your dad?”
“Dead.”
“He was bitten to death by a poisonous snake there too?”
Shaking his head, Fang Yusheng said, “He died suddenly, exactly like my grandfather.” Fang Yusheng’s tone was gloomy. Fang Pingjue’s death in his previous life was the same as his grandfather’s. Fang Yusheng could almost confirm that his grandfather’s death was not simple.
At the thought of Fang Yusheng being the only one left in her previous life, Qiao Jiusheng felt her heart ache. “Back then, why did you take poison and commit suicide?” Qiao Jiusheng was puzzled. She felt that Fang Yusheng was not someone who would commit suicide by taking poison.
“There was no point in living anymore.” Fang Yusheng obviously didn’t want to talk about it.
His reaction was a little strange, and a question arose in Qiao Jiusheng’s heart.
Did Fang Yusheng really commit suicide?
She stared at him. Unable to see anything from his calm face, she gave up.
Many people came to the full month banquet. When Qiao Jiusheng saw Wei Shuyi, he was playing on his phone with his head lowered. Thinking that he was playing a game, Qiao Jiusheng went over to take a look. However, she found out that he was chatting on WeChat with someone. His friend’s name was Alluring Beauty.
Upon seeing the word “beauty,” Qiao Jiusheng thought of Jiaren Wu.
She was a little surprised and couldn’t help but ask Wei Shuyi, “What’s going on between you and Jiaren Wu?”?In the end, they got entangled together?
Wei Shuyi looked up in surprise. He was surprised to see Qiao Jiusheng carrying the child. He asked her, “How did you know that I was chatting with her?”
Qiao Jiusheng did not explain in detail and only said, “You’ve met before.”
“You guessed it just like that?” Wei Shuyi praised her for being smart. He then kept his phone and said, “I was thinking: should I try to spend some time with her?”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng had a complicated look in her eyes.
“You like her?”
Wei Shuyi said, “I don’t know, but I don’t hate her.” After a pause, he continued, “But she seems to like me.”
Of course, she likes you.
Qiao Jiusheng sighed and said to Wei Shuyi, “Since you have a good impression of her, be serious.”
“Naturally.”
Wei Shuyi took relationships more seriously than anything else.
He never joked about his feelings.
Seeing that there were many guests, Wei Shuyi knew he could not keep talking to Qiao Jiusheng. Therefore, he let her leave and greet the other guests. Before turning to leave, Qiao Jiusheng especially reminded him. “Brother Wei, you must cherish her.”
Although Wei Shuyi found Qiao Jiusheng’s words strange, he seriously nodded.
As she turned around, the smile on Qiao Jiusheng’s face turned serious.
She did not dare to conclude as to whether it was fate.
She only hoped that in this life, the two of them would be safe and happy.
