Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 241: Not Embarrassed

After the policewoman was done tying the bandage, she looked up and realized that Qiao Jiusheng was staring at her with an indescribably complicated gaze. It surprised the policewoman, and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful but pretentious face.

She wanted to ask Qiao Jiusheng the reason for that gaze.

However, when the words escaped her mouth, they turned into: “Miss, don’t worry too much. Your Sir’s gunshot wound is not fatal. He will be fine after resting for a while.”

Fang Yusheng held Qiao Jiusheng’s hand and comfortingly nodded at her. He said, “I’m fine. I won’t die.”

“Shut up and stop talking! Save your energy,” Qiao Jiusheng roared at Fang Yusheng, but her heart was at ease.

Looking at the policewoman’s face, Qiao Jiusheng endured it. In the end, she could not help but ask her, “Officer, what’s your name?”

The policewoman pointed at her police uniform and smiled. This smile made her face look even more beautiful. Her looks made it like she was wasting her time being a police officer. If she were to become a celebrity, she could leave behind more than half of the female celebrities in the entertainment industry. “My surname is Wu, Jiaren Wu. I just graduated from the police academy and am still interning.”

“Jiaren?” Qiao Jiusheng’s heart ached.

She stared at Jiaren Wu’s face as many scenes from her previous life flashed past her mind.

***

Under the old locust tree in the nursing home, Wei Shuyi held a pencil and gently wiped off the face on the paper. That face was bright and beautiful. She was the moonlight in Wei Shuyi’s heart, the culprit who made him worry for the rest of his life.

Her name was Jiaren Wu, and she had died when she was 26 years old.

Although she was dead, she was still alive in Wei Shuyi’s memory.

“The reason I draw this person’s face over and over again is that I’m afraid I’ll forget her appearance if time passes. The reason I wipe away every painting over and over again is that I’ll miss her when I see it.” The aged Wei Shuyi pointed at his heart. His distant and turbid eyes carried some injuries, nostalgia, and pain. “It hurts so much to look at her.”

***

Wei Shuyi’s words reverberated in Qiao Jiusheng’s mind.

Qiao Jiusheng stared at Jiaren Wu’s face. From Wei Shuyi’s drawings, Qiao Jiusheng knew that Jiaren Wu must be a beauty. Just like her name, the Wu family had a woman, a beauty who could topple cities. Seeing her in person, Qiao Jiusheng felt that Jiaren Wu’s beauty was even more dazzling than that on the drawings.

Qiao Jiusheng did not know how Jiaren Wu had died, and Wei Shuyi had never told her either. After all, it was the pain in his heart. Even if the pain tortured him, he was unwilling to share everything related to Jiaren Wu with others.

At the thought of Jiaren Wu’s outcome, Qiao Jiusheng felt a sense of pity.

She did not know if Jiaren Wu and Wei Shuyi would get to know each other at this time.?Will they still meet and leave each other according to their previous lives?

Qiao Jiusheng could not help but ask Jiaren Wu, “Miss Wu, do you know someone called Wei Shuyi?”

Jiaren Wu shook her head and casually smiled. “Wei Shuyi? Who?” She looked confused. “Among all the people I know, there is no one with the surname Wei. I don’t know Wei Shuyi.” At this moment, Jiaren Wu said that person’s name without a care in the world. She never thought that these three words would become the three words she loved the most in her life.

Qiao Jiusheng could not help but sigh in relief.

Hearing the sound of the ambulance getting closer, Jiaren Wu opened the police car door. She got out and waved at the ambulance.

The car stopped beside them, and the nurses immediately transferred Fang Yusheng to the ambulance.

Qiao Jiusheng got into the ambulance as well. Before leaving, she stared at Jiaren Wu’s face and said, “Miss Wu, thank you so much for today. I’ll come back to thank you another day.”

Jiaren Wu indifferently waved her hand.

“I’m a cop.”

In other words, this was her job, and Qiao Jiusheng did not need to thank her.

Qiao Jiusheng nodded and got into the ambulance.

Fang Yu’s face twisted in pain. He had been maintaining his clarity, so he had heard what Qiao Jiusheng had asked Jiaren Wu. Many questions surged in his heart.?Why would Qiao Jiusheng ask the policewoman whether she knew Wei Shuyi?

Qiao Jiusheng sat on the small stool, her heart still high. She touched her stomach and frowned.

Fang Yusheng endured the pain and asked her with concern, “Your stomach… hurts?”

Qiao Jiusheng did not hide it from him. “It seems like something is flowing out.” Her face was a little pale. She guessed that it was blood and was afraid of signs of a miscarriage.

Fang Yusheng’s heart tightened. “How… how much?”

Qiao Jiusheng shook her head. “Not much, but some.”

Fang Yusheng also felt uneasy. His wound was hurting, and he was panicking and suffering.

When they reached the hospital, Qiao Jiusheng wanted to follow him to the emergency room, but Fang Yusheng stopped her. “Go to the Gynecology Department and see the doctor.” Fang Yusheng’s tone was harsh, and his expression was ugly.

Qiao Jiusheng stared at him before nodding and obediently going to the Gynecology Department.

When the nurses pushed Fang Yusheng into the operating theater, his heart was filled with thoughts about Qiao Jiusheng and the child, so he did not really care about his injuries.

Qiao Jiusheng went to see the doctor and saw that it was indeed red.

“You’re pregnant, so stop exercising. Why were you running…” The doctor glared at Qiao Jiusheng with disapproval. “How old are you? You’re too careless.”

Qiao Jiusheng silently listened.

She grabbed the doctor’s hand and pleaded, “You must protect my children. Doctor, I can do anything, stay in the hospital, get an injection, or rest in bed.”

“Fortunately, you made it in time.” The doctor opened the hospitalization form and said to Qiao Jiusheng as he wrote, “Go to the main hall now and hand these checkups to the hospitalization doctor. Remember, try to stay in bed and rest more these few days. As long as you don’t bleed and can hear the embryo’s heartbeat, there won’t be a problem.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng hurriedly nodded and walked out of the examination room with the report.

The moment she came out, she saw Aunt Jin standing outside the door.

Qiao Jiusheng was a little surprised.

Aunt Jin said, “Before Young Master Yusheng entered the operating theater, he called me.” After explaining the reason for her arrival, Aunt Jin took the form in Qiao Jiusheng’s hand. She took a look at it and quickly said, “You have to rest more. Hurry up and stay in the hospital. I’ll accompany you here for the next few days. Other than going to the toilet, try not to get out of bed.”

Qiao Jiusheng’s heart warmed. She held Aunt Jin’s chubby hand and smiled at her. However, her face was a little pale. This smile did not give Aunt Jin much comfort. Qiao Jiusheng said, “Then I’ll have to trouble Aunt Jin.”

Aunt Jin did not say much and brought Qiao Jiusheng to the hospitalization department.

Many people had been admitted to the hospital recently. The VIP ward was full, so Qiao Jiusheng stayed in the large ward with the other pregnant women.

Seeing Qiao Jiusheng lie down, Aunt Jin went downstairs to pay the hospitalization fees.

When his surgery was finished, Fang Yusheng wanted to go downstairs after the anesthesia effect wore off. The doctor had wrapped his right shoulder in bandages so the wound could be healed faster. When Fang Yusheng came to see Qiao Jiusheng, his face was as pale as if it had been painted with wax.

There was no sofa in the large ward, only a wooden stool.

Seeing Fang Yusheng, Aunt Jin quickly pulled a stool for him and placed it beside Qiao Jiusheng’s bed.

Fang Yusheng sat down and immediately looked at Qiao Jiusheng’s hand, which was connected to a drip. His gaze then landed on Qiao Jiusheng’s abdomen.

Qiao Jiusheng grabbed his left hand and pinched his fingers. She said, “I’m fine for now. The nurse just heard the fetal heart. I can hear the heartbeat.”

Fang Yusheng asked again, “Can, can you keep it?” Fang Yusheng sounded a little bitter.

Qiao Jiusheng nodded. “I’m injecting myself with a pregnancy stabilizer. I’ll be fine.”

Fang Yusheng nodded.

His head was drooped, and he looked sad and guilty.

When Qiao Jiusheng saw him like this, she felt terrible. “Yusheng, don’t blame yourself.” This was not his fault. At the moment of danger, Fang Yusheng had chosen to use himself as bait and bought more time for Qiao Jiusheng to escape.

He had done enough.

Fang Yusheng did not reply.

Qiao Jiusheng did not persuade him to suffer alone.

After a while, Xu Pingfei arrived at the hospital.

When she had heard that Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng had been chased into the hospital, she had rushed over from the First People’s Hospital in the city. Seeing the two patients huddled together, Xu Pingfei frowned. She first glanced at Fang Yusheng and saw that although his right hand was wrapped in a bandage, he could still sit and accompany Qiao Jiusheng. She knew that he was not in great danger.

Xu Pingfei then looked at Qiao Jiusheng again, this time with genuine concern in her eyes. “Yunsheng, are the children alright?”

Qiao Jiusheng repeated what the doctor had said to her.

Xu Pingfei relaxed.

“D*mn it, who is so vicious to try to kill people on the streets?” With a furious expression, Xu Pingfei repeatedly scolded the pursuers as she sat on the bed. After she finished scolding them, she realized that Fang Yusheng was looking at her. It stunned her. She stretched out her right index finger in shock and pointed at Fang Yusheng’s green eyes with a look of disbelief.

“Yusheng, your eyes…” she carefully asked. “Can you see?”

Fang Yusheng’s reaction when he was being chased had already exposed the fact that his eyes had regained their vision.

There was no need to pretend to be blind anymore, so he stopped hiding.

Nodding, Fang Yusheng said, “I just recovered a while ago.”

Hearing this, Xu Pingfei opened her mouth, but her eyes turned red. “This is a good thing, a good thing.” Xu Pingfei had never been a ruthless person. Her feelings for Fang Yusheng were very complicated. Fang Yusheng was Lisa’s child. Logically speaking, he was Fang Pingjue’s ex-wife’s child. Facing the child of her man’s previous wife, Xu Pingfei should have had some grudges.

But she did not.

When Xu Pingfei was in her teens, she had met Lisa. Lisa was an elegant beauty with a bookish aura. She had a smart and powerful head. Xu Pingfei’s results in science were poor, so she especially admired Lisa, who was a physics professor at a famous English school.

Before Fang Yusheng became blind, he had always been the genius that others called him.

When Xu Pingfei had yet to marry Fang Pingjue, she would hear people discussing Fang Pingjue’s genius son in private. She could not help but admire Fang Yusheng and say that he was amazing. Later on, she became the stepmother of that awesome person. She did not know with what attitude she should face Fang Yusheng.

Fortunately, Fang Yusheng did not care about her. He neither hated her nor liked her. This made Xu Pingfei feel more at ease.

When she first came to the Fang family, Xu Pingfei always felt regretful whenever she looked at Fang Yusheng’s extraordinarily handsome face. How could such a powerful and exquisite child be blind?

She used to admire Fang Yusheng’s intelligence, but later on, she felt pity for his weakness.

Now, Fang Yusheng’s eyes were cured. Xu Pingfei felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

Fang Yusheng saw Xu Pingfei’s reaction and frowned.?This woman is too weak. She is soft-hearted toward her husband’s ex-wife’s children… No wonder the two children she raised have soft personalities. They are completely different from Fang Mu and myself.

However, compared to Fang Mu, who was a wolf cub, Fang Yusheng liked Fang Yuqing’s and Fang Yu’an’s gentle personalities more.

“Why are you crying? Don’t disturb her rest.” Fang Yusheng said with a disdainful expression. He handed Xu Pingfei a piece of tissue and dryly said, “How old are you? Why are you crying all the time? Don’t you find it embarrassing?” After saying that, he turned his head to the side with an unnatural expression.

Xu Pingfei took the tissue and wiped her eyes, feeling embarrassed to cry again.

When Qiao Jiusheng saw this scene, she wanted to laugh but held back.

“Oh, right. Yusheng, since you’re injured, is your wedding going to be delayed?” There were only six days left until the wedding. Qiao Jiusheng could rest for a few days and get discharged after confirming that the child was fine. However, Fang Yusheng could not. He had to recuperate for at least another month or two, so this wedding would not be able to proceed as planned.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yusheng immediately said, “There will be no delay.” He touched his hand and acted as if he did not care at all, firmly saying, “Yes, I didn’t break an arm or a leg. The wedding will continue as usual.” Besides, he had already given the Empire Hotel his rent, so he could not change the date. If the wedding was canceled at the last minute, the Empire Hotel would deduct 30% of the penalty.

Thirty percent of 60 million yuan…

Fang Yusheng’s wound no longer hurt. His heart hurt instead.
