  “You’re still my son at eighty.”


  He grabbed Jiang Wei’s hair again before leaving the room. Once he left, Jiang Jie came in. Although they were twins and looked the same, Jiang Jie was still shorter than her brother.

  She was wearing SpongeBob SquarePants pajamas. She sat by the bed and frowned as she asked her brother, “Brother, is what Yuqing said true?”


  “Yes.”


  “Then are you guys breaking up?”


  “Yes.”


  “That’s… quite good,” Jiang Jie said again. “It seems like she flew back this time to cancel the engagement with you. She just stayed for a night and left again. She really can’t wait. Do you think she has found her true sweetheart?”


  Gone again?

  Jiang Wei snorted. “Where did her sweetheart come from? Don’t spread rumors.”


  Jiang Jie left after finding out the truth.

  Jiang Wei sat by the bed, looking a little troubled.

  His WeChat kept ringing. Jiang Wei opened it and saw that it was all people he knew asking about this. His name for Hua Wushuang was “Clingy Spirit”. He saw a series of messages from her—


  Clingy Spirit: [Is what Fang Yuqing said true? Have you really broken off your engagement with her?]

  Clingy Spirit: [In that case, the person who made Fang Yuqing pregnant and had an abortion back then was not you?]

  Clingy Spirit: [God, Jiang Wei, you’re too good. You actually became the scapegoat for so long.]

  Clingy Spirit: [Fortunately, you’re clean. Smile / symbol]

  Jiang Wei stared at the last sentence coldly.

  You’re clean…


  Jiang Wei: [You mean Qingqing is dirty? I think your mouth is a little dirty and your eyes are a little dirty.]

  After sending the message, Jiang Wei blocked Clingy Spirit.

  In the morning, Aunt Jin was in charge of making breakfast.

  Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng went for a morning jog on the cement road by the lake.

  After running for more than ten rounds, Fang Yusheng started to walk quickly. His breathing was calm and he was not in a hurry. He was much more dignified than Qiao Jiusheng, who was behind him. Qiao Jiusheng was so tired that she had to jog to catch up with Fang Yusheng.

  “Hey, walk slowly.”


  Fang Yusheng slowed down.

  Having long legs was an advantage.

  Fang Yusheng strode forward quickly. He took three steps forward to block Qiao Jiusheng.

  Qiao Jiusheng tilted her head and looked at Fang Yusheng. She said, “You’re in a bad mood.”


  Fang Yusheng nodded gloomily.

  “Are you thinking about Qingqing?”


  They did not browse Weibo much. It was Xu Pingfei who called and cried on the phone. She said that Fang Yuqing and Jiang Wei had canceled their marriage and even clarified Jiang Wei’s innocence on Weibo. Only then did Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng rush to Weibo to see Fang Yuqing’s message.

  Ever since then, Fang Yusheng’s face had been sullen.

  Although he knew that Qingqing was doing the right thing, his heart still ached for her. “It’s nothing. I just think…” He didn’t know what he wanted to say. He actually knew very well that Qingqing was doing the right thing.

  Jiang Wei was a good child. Back then, he took the initiative to shoulder everything for Fang Yuqing.

  The entire matter was actually unfair to Jiang Wei.

  Fang Yuqing’s actions became more responsible after she had finally grown up.

  It was one thing to be rational, but Fang Yusheng felt uncomfortable mentally.

  Qiao Jiusheng could understand his feelings. Back then, she was the one who accompanied Fang Yuqing when she had an abortion. Now that Fang Yuqing and Jiang Wei had caused such a commotion, she felt a lot of emotions. She said, “She’s already twenty years old and an adult. She has to pay the price for her own words and actions.”


  “I think that it’s quite good that Qingqing’s doing this.”


  “What’s good about it?” Fang Yusheng’s tone was a little stuffy.

  Qiao Jiusheng said, “What she did must have been the best outcome after weighing the pros and cons. All these years, she has been letting Jiang Wei take the blame. Do you think Qingqing feels good? She said that she no longer has any secrets in her heart and she’s relaxed. Even if others look at her coldly in the future, she’s still open and honest. Besides, if they don’t cancel the engagement and get married just like that, Qingqing will be inferior to Jiang Wei in marriage in the future.”


  “It’s not a big deal if they have a happy life in the future. If there’s a rift in their relationship after marriage and they fight, Jiang Weiyi will say, ‘I volunteered to take the blame for your reputation back then, and you treated me like this!’ At this time, what should Qingqing do?”


  Qiao Jiusheng sighed and said, “So Qingqing is right. She’s honest and open-minded. When she meets someone she likes in the future, she’ll know everything and won’t have to hide her fear anymore.” To be honest, when she saw Fang Yuqing’s Weibo article, Qiao Jiusheng wanted to applaud her.

  The timid and despairing girl from back then had finally grown up.

  Upon hearing Qiao Jiusheng’s words, Fang Yusheng thought about it and felt that what she said made sense.

  “I’m just feeling a little regretful. I think Jiang Wei is quite a good child. He’s good to Qingqing and loyal. I’ve gotten someone to investigate. Jiang Wei has nothing to do with that lady from the Hua family. That lady from the Hua family has been chasing after him, but Jiang Wei didn’t agree to anything. Last night, it was the second son of the Wang family’s birthday. Jiang Wei went to attend his birthday party, but Hua Wushuang was also there.”


  “Then why was Hua Wushuang holding Jiang Wei’s arm?”


  “Didn’t you see the high heels on Hua Wu’s feet? They’re probably 16 centimeters tall. The stairs in the bar are made of iron. If she doesn’t hold on to someone, she’ll fall easily.”


  “Then why didn’t she hold someone else and insist on Jiang Wei?”


  “Just because Jiang Wei doesn’t have feelings for her doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have feelings for Jiang Wei.”


  Qiao Jiusheng did not speak. Fang Yusheng saw her eyes roll and then she looked at him coldly. Fang Yusheng looked confused. “Why are you looking at me like that?” His gaze was strange.

  Qiao Jiusheng said, “Why are you paying attention to other people’s shoes for no reason? Fang Yusheng, what are your intentions by staring at the young girl?”


  Fang Yusheng was speechless.

  He was wronged!

  “My brother-in-law appeared holding hands with another woman. Isn’t it normal for me to look at that woman more?”


  Qiao Jiusheng snorted. “I think you’ve taken a fancy to her youthful beauty.”


  “You’re very young. You’re more beautiful than she is.”


  Qiao Jiusheng felt that Fang Yusheng’s words needed to be examined. She snorted. “I’m not young anymore. I’m already 27 or 28 years old and an old woman. I’m not beautiful anymore. A few days ago, someone even said that I have black heads on my nose…”


  Fang Yusheng was speechless.

  “No, you’re quite beautiful. Really, you don’t have any black heads.”


  Qiao Jiusheng pointed at her nose. “I saw two black heads this morning. I think it’ll be useful to change to better skincare products.”


  “Change, change, change.”


  “Then I want to change to N Family’s skincare products set.”


  “Sure, sure.”


  Qiao Jiusheng smiled slyly. She raised a finger at Fang Yusheng. “It’s at least this price for a set.”


  Fang Yusheng said, “10,000 yuan?”


  Qiao Jiusheng shook her head.

  Fang Yusheng asked with a heavy heart…… “100,000 yuan?”
