  Lisa put down her grandchildren and walked to Fang Yusheng’s side. She pulled Fang Yusheng’s arm gently.

  Fang Yusheng shook her hand off forcefully and said coldly, “Don’t touch me.”


  He withdrew his hand and pretended to look at Lisa coldly.

  He stared at the television, but he could not pay attention.

  Fang Yusheng was a little puzzled when he did not hear Lisa speak. He looked up at Lisa and saw that she was crying.

  Fang Yusheng was speechless.

  “Yusheng…”


  “Mommy let you down.”


  Lisa’s voice choked. It was worrying to hear.

  This was the first time Fang Yusheng saw Lisa cry.

  He was flustered.

  “W-Why are you crying!” He reprimanded her with a cold expression. “Don’t cry!”


  Lisa instead cried harder. “You’re fierce to me. In the past, when Mom hit you with the pot, you wouldn’t be fierce to Mom. Yusheng, do you hate Mom?”


  Fang Yusheng quickly stood up and wanted to wipe her tears. He wiped his hands on his trouser legs but could not raise them. Lisa’s cries upset him. He had no choice but to surrender and coax Lisa. “No, I don’t hate you. Really, I’m just a little angry. Your life is more important than anything. I know you’re doing this for my own good. I really don’t hate you. Stop crying.”


  “You really don’t hate me?”


  “I really don’t.”


  Fang Yusheng was about to swear to the heavens.

  Upon hearing this, Lisa, who had been crying fiercely, immediately composed herself. She wiped her eyes and said, “That’s good. It’s good that you don’t hate me.”


  Fang Yusheng glared at her clean face with an ugly expression.

  He had finally seen what crocodile tears were.

  At the side, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Zicheng were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

  Their expressions seemed to be saying four words— She could do this?

  Fang Yusheng could not do anything to Lisa.

  Only then did he have the time to carefully examine Lisa’s entire body. His sharp gaze swept across Lisa for a long time before he finally said, “You’re old.” Even though in the eyes of Qiao Jiusheng and the rest, Lisa really did not look like a 57-year-old woman, she had still aged to Fang Yusheng.

  The last time he saw Lisa, she was still very young. Her face was covered in collagen, and there were no wrinkles.

  But now, there were signs of aging at the corners of her eyes.

  When Lisa heard this, her heart suddenly ached and her eyes turned red.

  This time, she really wanted to cry. It was not an act.

  Seeing that she was about to cry again, Fang Yusheng quickly said with a cold expression, “Don’t cry!”


  Lisa immediately held back her tears.

  She sat down beside Fang Yusheng and looked at Fang Yusheng’s face with sorrow in her eyes. She said, “My child, you’ve grown up.”


  Fang Yusheng felt upset too.

  If they continued chatting, both of them might cry. Qiao Jiusheng quickly went forward and changed the topic. “Lisa, I’ve already prepared a room for you. Do you want to come with me to take a look?” Lisa only had Fang Yusheng as her child. She will definitely come often in the future. Qiao Jiusheng cleaned a room specially for her.

  Lisa was stunned. When she looked at Qiao Jiusheng again, her gaze became even more loving.

  She said, “Yusheng, you found a good wife.”


  Fang Yusheng snorted proudly. He mocked his mother. “You can’t compare to my taste when it comes to lovers.”


  Lisa was speechless.

  She got up and walked out of the front hall with Qiao Jiusheng. She crossed the courtyard and went to her own room. On the way, she complained to Qiao Jiusheng, “Yusheng’s EQ is the same as his… father. His words are unpleasant, but his heart is good. Ah Sheng, don’t mind him.”


  Lisa, who had just been scolded by Fang Yusheng, was not only not angry at her son, but she was also worried about Qiao Jiusheng’s emotions.

  Lisa really loved Fang Yusheng.

  Due to their relationship, Qiao Jiusheng felt even closer to Lisa.

  Everyone who truly loved Fang Yusheng was someone she should respect and be grateful to. Of course, other than love rivals.

  “Of course I won’t mind,” she said.

  Qiao Jiusheng had spent a lot of effort renovating the room that she had prepared for Lisa.

  The curtains were double-layered, and the layer closest to the window was a translucent pure white gauze. The second layer was still a white gauze, but the material was thicker. The edge of the white gauze was dark green, and the tassel decorations on the top were also dark green.

  The room was decorated in a Chinese style. The bedsheets were also white, but there were dark green lines on the blanket.

  A few fake dried plum blossoms were placed in the corner.

  Lisa stared at the plum blossom and sighed. “You’re so considerate.”


  Qiao Jiusheng said that it was only right.

  After looking at the room, Qiao Jiusheng brought Lisa around the house and its surroundings.

  Lisa was a little absent-minded the entire time, as if she was holding something in her heart. Qiao Jiusheng sensed it and wanted to ask, but she held back. When they returned to the front hall, it was already five o’clock. Auntie Jin was almost done cooking. They could eat after she was done stir-frying a few vegetables.

  At this moment, the security guard called.

  Fang Yusheng answered the call.

  “What’s wrong?”


  “Mr. Fang, there’s a man sitting at your door. He’s been sitting there for a long time. I want to ask if he’s a guest you invited. If not, I can help you chase him away.”


  Fang Yusheng was stunned for a moment before he guessed that person’s identity.

  He asked the security guard, “How did he get in?”


  “He came in with… Madam Watson.”


  Fang Yusheng was completely certain of that man’s identity.

  “Thank you for informing me. I don’t have a problem with him.”


  After hanging up the phone, Fang Yusheng went to the entryway and turned on the video call. He saw a man sitting at the entrance of Mansion Number Nine. The wind was quite strong, and the man was sitting on the ceramic tiles beside the flower bed at the entrance. He was not dressed thinly, but his face was still red from the wind.

  Even her hair was disheveled and no longer styled nicely.

  Chi Baoguang should be a little cold. He would get up from time to time and take two steps. Then, he would rub his hands and stamp his feet before sitting back down and waiting.

  Fang Yusheng stared at the person outside the door for a long time.

  He turned off the video camera and returned to the living room to look at Lisa, who was talking to Qiao Jiusheng and the two children. Although Lisa was smiling, her eyes were filled with worry and urgency.

  Chi Baoguang got up for the umpteenth time and walked back and forth along the road in front of the Fang family’s house.

  His feet were still cold.

  He stomped his feet and looked down at his watch. It was only 5: 20 pm, and he wondered how long it would take for Lisa to come out. He pulled the collar of his coat higher and walked to the cold ceramic flower bed to sit down. The cliff was not especially cold all year round, and he had lived there for more than thirty years. Chi Baoguang was no longer used to the winter in Binjiang City.

  He simply hid his neck in the collar of his coat…… At this moment, the closed door in front of him opened.
