“That’s all?” Fang Yusheng thought that there should be more to it.

  As expected, Qi Bufan was not done yet.

  Qi Bufan added, “Also, I found out something strange. It seems like Second Young Mistress knows about that person too. Her and Second Young Master’s relationship has changed recently.”


  Fang Yusheng had already given up on that woman. So when he heard that, his emotions did not fluctuate much.

  “Then keep an eye out. I’d like to see what’s going on between them.”


  At this moment, Fang Yusheng did not expect Qi Bufan to bring him such a huge surprise.

  ***

  About three months later, Qi Bufan received new information.

  He told Fang Yusheng, “Second Young Mistress is not the real Second Young Mistress!”


  Fang Yusheng was stunned. “What do you mean?”


  Qi Bufan explained, “This Second Young Mistress is not the real Qiao Jiusheng, but Qiao Jiusheng’s elder sister, Qiao Jiuyin!”


  Fang Yusheng’s heart raced.

  “What exactly happened?”


  “Our people have been paying attention to Fang Mu’s and Second Young Mistress’s every move. Just last week, a brother said that he found out Fang Mu was investigating the car accident last year. He found the matter strange and went to investigate it. In the end, he found out that Fang Mu was looking into the Second Young Mistress’s identity!

  “Just yesterday, Fang Mu asked Second Young Mistress to go to the cemetery to pay respects to her sister, Qiao Jiuyin. The drama was that the two of them got into a fight in the cemetery. Fang Mu exposed that Second Young Mistress was not Qiao Jiusheng and the truth behind her being Qiao Jiuyin.”


  “Second Young Mistress also admitted it and said…” Qi Bufan cautiously looked at Fang Yusheng.

  Fang Yusheng immediately asked, “What?”


  Qi Bufan knew that what he had just said was enough to reignite the hope in Young Master Fang’s heart. If Second Young Mistress was Qiao Jiuyin, then she was not the person that he had waited for. Then, the Qiao Jiusheng that Fang Yusheng loved might still be single. He still had the possibility of finding her and renewing their former relationship!

  Qi Bufan could see Fang Yusheng’s expression brighten. He could not bear to tell him the truth.

  His silence gradually dampened Fang Yusheng’s anticipation.

  Fang Yusheng’s heart sank, and he asked Qi Bufan in a tight voice, “Is it…” Fang Yusheng heard his heavy heartbeat, but he still gritted his teeth and asked, “Ah Sheng, did something happen to her?”


  “She’s dead,” said Qi Bufan.

  Fang Yusheng’s heart ached.

  It was not easy for him to find out about Qiao Jiusheng, but before he could rejoice, he was confronted with the truth of her death! Without any words, Fang Yusheng’s emotions wildly fluctuated. His expression was blank, and his lips moved subconsciously.

  After a long time, he murmured, “How could that be? How could she have died? Wasn’t Qiao Jiuyin the one who died?”


  Qi Bufan said, “The one who died was the Qiao Family’s Second Miss. The one who survived was the Qiao Family’s Eldest Miss. When the Second Miss died, the Eldest Miss took her identity and married Fang Mu.” Qiao Jiusheng and Qiao Jiuyin were twins. If one of them died, it would be easy for the other to replace her.

  Qi Bufan had never heard of such a terrifying thing.

  If the relationship between the twins was good, it would be something to be envious of. If the relationship was bad and there was a gap between them, the situation would develop like that of Qiao Jiusheng and Qiao Jiuyin. It would be terrifying.

  Fang Yusheng was unwilling to accept this news for a long time.

  Fang Mu was also unable to accept this news.

  Qi Bufan thought that Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin would get divorced, but for some reason, the two of them were still entangled together. In public, they were still a loving and harmonious couple. However, when the door was closed, Fang Mu would never look at Qiao Jiuyin again.

  Three months later, Fang Yusheng left China alone and went to America.

  A year later, Fang Yusheng returned. Nothing seemed to have changed.

  However, Qi Bufan knew that his master’s eyes had recovered.

  The second year after Fang Yusheng came back, Fang Mu suddenly cheated on his wife. The person he cheated on her with was a woman who looked like the Second Young Mistress. This woman’s name was Hu Yao. Hu Yao was a model. She was actually a young model. Before meeting Fang Mu, she had been the lover of another wealthy businessman.

  After getting to know her, Fang Mu doted on her alone.

  Initially, Hu Yao kept a low profile. However, in the second year after she fell in love with Fang Mu, Hu Yao couldn’t help but send out all kinds of pictures to provoke the Second Young Mistress of the Fang family. The Second Young Mistress got so angry that she cried and almost fell sick from depression.

  The strange thing was, no matter what Hu Yao did, Fang Mu ignored the Second Young Mistress.

  Everyone felt that it was strange. Why would the couple who were still so affectionate with each other in public suddenly have a strain on their relationship?

  After finding out about Hu Yao’s existence, Qiao Jiuyin threatened her and even kidnapped her. However, Fang Mu settled everything. Qiao Jiuyin’s life started to turn sour, and her relationship with Fang Mu turned sour too. This made her personality change drastically. She didn’t even realize that Hu Yao’s appearance was an arrangement of Fang Yusheng.

  Just like that, Qiao Jiuyin and Hu Yao had a dogfight for five to six years. In the end, Hu Yao died in a car accident. This car accident was actually Qiao Jiuyin’s doing.

  Fang Mu tried to defend Hu Yao but failed.

  Unexpectedly, Hu Yao’s death did not break up Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin. They still lived like that. Even though this marriage was riddled with holes, they still held hands and acted as each other’s perfect spouse in public.

  In the eighth year after their marriage, Cheng Ke was rescued.

  Fang Mu thought that it was Qiao Jiuyin who did it. So, he fell out with Qiao Jiuyin, and the two of them started a fight at a banquet.

  Their fight was intense.

  However, to everyone’s surprise, they still did not get divorced.

  Another year later, Fang Pingjue received a USB flash drive from a stranger and discovered the truth behind Mu Chen’s death. He wanted to question Fang Mu, but he died of a cerebral hemorrhage at home. After that, the servants found a will in his room. In the will, he had handed over 20% of his shares to Fang Mu.

  After Fang Pingjue’s death, Xu Pingfei went crazy, and Fang Yu’an took her out of the Fang family.

  After Fang Pingjue died, Housekeeper Wan Lang resigned and found a place suitable for retirement. He lived alone. With Fang Pingjue no more, Fang Mu became the biggest shareholder and the CEO of the Fang Corporation. For a moment, he was filled with glory.

  In the tenth year after Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin’s marriage, Cheng Ke, who had been missing for many years, suddenly jumped out and broadcasted the video of his time with the young Fang Mu. This instantly ruined Fang Mu’s reputation, and Cheng Ke suddenly died when the police started to look for him.

  Fang Mu completely changed after his childhood experience was made public.

  He became even colder, cruel, and more inhumane than before.

  Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin frequently quarreled. In the end, Fang Mu decided not to go home anymore. He kept another mistress outside. That mistress looked a little like the Second Young Mistress, especially her side profile. Fang Mu and this mistress had a good relationship, and that woman even gave birth to a daughter for Fang Mu.

  Qiao Jiuyin no longer got angry as she did years ago. She no longer did meaningless things to Fang Mu’s mistress.

  In the fifteenth year after their wedding, Fang Mu often did not return home for a few months. Qiao Jiuyin felt empty and lonely. That year, Qiao Jiuyin kept a handsome male celebrity at home. The following February, the paparazzi exposed the video of her bed scene with the male celebrity. The male celebrity’s future was ruined, and Qiao Jiuyin’s reputation was ruined as well.

  Their indecent video awakened the spring of that year.

  Although Fang Mu had a new family and Qiao Jiuyin had kept another man, their marriage still existed. Their marriage was like a city that spanned thousands of miles. There was a hole here and a brick there, but it tenaciously stood between the mountains and continued on.

  On the 16th year after the marriage, a top secret of the Fang Corporation was leaked, and the Fang Corporation suffered a huge blow. Many higher-ups left the Fang Corporation one after another; some established their own families while others retired.

  The Fang Group was on the verge of collapse. Only Fang Mu was still holding on to his position as CEO.

  In the 19th year after the marriage, the Fang Group’s tax evasion and Fang Mu’s conspiracy to kill Cheng Ke and his own father were reported in the media. On that day, the police took away Fang Mu. In court, a witness was present to testify that she was his lover and had lived with him for many years.

  Fang Mu was sentenced to a slow death and was deprived of political rights for life.

  When Fang Mu was brought out of the court, toward the prison, he couldn’t help but yell at his lover, “Why did you do this to me? How did I let you down?” Fang Mu couldn’t believe that his lover would betray him.

  The woman bitterly smiled and said, “Fang Mu, Hu Yao is my sister.” Fang Mu knew that Hu Yao desired vanity and loved men. However, he didn’t know that she had a sister who had gotten into a car accident and gotten into a coma.

  After Hu Yao had died, her sister had woken up. She had changed her appearance, approached Fang Mu, and finally gave him a fatal blow.

  The guards dragged away the shocked Fang Mu.

  Fang Mu was sent to prison. His performance in prison was good. In the fourth year, his sentence was reduced by five years. On that day, Fang Mu was overjoyed. He thought that there was hope, but that night, his cellmate suddenly went crazy. Fang Mu woke up in his sleep, but what greeted him was a blow to his head.

  That blow shattered Fang Mu’s skull.

  Due to Fang Mu’s death, the cellmate was sentenced to death. After this man’s death, his daughter received a huge sum of money and successfully received an acceptance letter from a famous foreign school.

  Qiao Jiuyin received a call and went to the prison to take away Fang Mu’s body.

  This year, Fang Mu had just turned 50, and Qiao Jiuyin was about to turn 46. When she saw Fang Mu’s tragic death, she was stunned for a long time. Then, she threw herself on Fang Mu’s corpse like a madman, crying and cursing. She scolded Fang Mu for being a good-for-nothing and said that he deserved to die.

  After cursing him, she started crying again.

  After she was done crying, Qiao Jiuyin lay on his corpse and screamed, “Brother Mu…”


  On the day Fang Mu was buried, Fang Yu’an and Fang Yusheng came to visit him.

  After leaving the Fang family, Fang Yu’an had become a professional esports player. When he retired, he opened an esports school. Now that he was in his forties, he looked exceptionally calm and elegant. When he saw Fang Yusheng, he was in disbelief. “Brother Yusheng, can you see?”


  The person in front of him was not holding a cane. Fang Yusheng opened his eyes and looked at Fang Yu’an. His eyes were clear and deep.

  Fang Yusheng was stunned for a moment when he heard Fang Yu’an call him Brother Yusheng. Then, he narrowed his green eyes and looked into the distance. He mysteriously said, “Yu’an, I’m sorry.”


  Fang Yu’an was confused.

  Fang Yusheng said, “I wanted to plead for Qingqing back then, but I was too late.”


  Fang Yu’an’s expression changed.

  He thought of his 17-year-old sister and laughed at himself. “It’s not your fault, really…” He suddenly stopped talking.

  If he really wanted to blame someone, he could only blame his father for being too cold-blooded! He could only blame his second sister-in-law for being too vicious! He could only blame this heartless world for not giving a young girl a chance to change her ways.

  Fang Yu’an seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and looked at Qiao Jiuyin, who was kneeling in front of the grave with a slightly older expression. He said, “That woman has finally gotten her retribution.”


  “Retribution?” Fang Yusheng scoffed.

  This was far from enough.

  After Fang Yu’an left, Fang Yusheng walked over to Qiao Jiuyin.

  Qiao Jiuyin sensed a shadow and raised her head. When she saw that it was Fang Yusheng, she was stunned. She realized that Fang Yusheng could see and was shocked. “You…” Qiao Jiuyin staggered to her feet and asked Fang Yusheng, “Your eyes have recovered?”


  Fang Yusheng remained silent.

  Qiao Jiuyin thought of something and said, “Many years ago, you said that we knew each other. Can you tell me how we met?”


  Fang Yusheng suddenly asked, “Does she look exactly like you?”


  Qiao Jiuyin was stunned.

  “Wh-what?”


  Fang Yusheng patiently asked, “Ah Sheng, does she look like you?”


  Qiao Jiuyin’s expression drastically changed. “How did you know?”


  “Know what?” Fang Yusheng chuckled. His smile was especially beautiful, but it made Qiao Jiuyin’s scalp tingle. “How did I know that you’re not Qiao Jiusheng but Qiao Jiuyin?” Fang Yusheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiao Jiuyin in disdain. He said, “I also know that the car accident was not an accident, but that you deliberately created it. Poor Fang Mu, that fool. Even until his death, he did not know that you killed Ah Sheng.”


  Seeing Qiao Jiuyin’s expression get worse, Fang Yusheng couldn’t help but shake his head.

  He seemed to have thought of something worth being happy about. Gently smiling, he softly said, “My Ah Sheng is not as vicious as you.”
