Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 200: Invisible and Missing

Fang Mu was excellent at reading people’s minds. He bet that Qiao Jiuyin would not dare to do that.

Qiao Jiuyin speechlessly looked at him. Finally, she realized in despair that he had made the right choice.

Until she reached the end of the road, Qiao Jiuyin would not expose Fang Mu’s ugly matters. After all, that was the only bargaining chip she had.

“Since you’re unwilling to take the initiative to cut off everything with her, then only I can do it.” After saying that, Qiao Jiuyin got up and went upstairs with her big belly.

Fang Mu looked at the table full of dishes and became silent for a moment. Then, he got up, picked up his suit, and left the villa.

Although he could not guess what Qiao Jiuyin was planning to do, Fang Mu was not too worried.

Qiao Jiuyin was not someone he cared about, and neither was Hu Yao.

He left the villa and drove to a high-class district in the city center.

This was where he stayed alone, and it was also the residence he had brought Qiao Jiusheng to the most in the past.

At the entrance of the entryway were two pairs of slippers. One was a pair of pure black cotton slippers, while the other was a pair of pure white rabbit-eared slippers. Qiao Jiusheng liked cute and bright little things. As for clothes, she always liked to wear colorful clothes, and the accessories she used were all bright and colorful.

She was like a small sun, driving away the darkness in Fang Mu’s heart and pulling him under the sunlight.

Fang Mu glanced at the pair of slippers, and pain flashed across his eyes.

He pulled open the refrigerator and saw the expired grapefruit drink inside. His eyes became a little warm.

Xiao Sheng liked everything with a grapefruit smell. In the past, he had kept this beverage in every apartment he lived in. After drinking some iced water, Fang Mu opened the closet and saw the long and short bathrobes hanging side by side in the closet. His heart ached again.

He realized that there were traces of Xiao Sheng everywhere in this house.

As he looked at these things, he got flashbacks of their time together.

Seeing was torture, yet not being able to see these moments made him miss it.

Fang Mu was about to go crazy.

Binjiang City had three noble families: the Fang family, the Jiang family, and the Wu family.

Among the few large family clans, the Fang and Jiang families had been in business for generations, while the Wu family had been in the army for generations. In the recent decade or so, the younger generation of the Wu family had started to dabble in business.

It was a joyous occasion as the Wu family’s granddaughter, Wu Piaopiao, had been accepted into Cambridge University.

With the tacit approval of the family head, Wu Piaopiao’s mother, Madam Wang Lin, held a high-class cocktail party and invited many people to congratulate her.

The Wu family rarely held cocktail parties or banquets. Since it was rare to hold one, everyone naturally had to give face to them and attend this party.

The Fang family had also received invitations. The Wu family was very good at socializing and had sent an invitation to a few juniors of the Fang family. Fang Yusheng and Fang Mu had been invited, but Fang Yusheng did not plan to go. Therefore, he asked Qi Bufan to send Qiao Jiusheng alone.

The banquet was held in the courtyard of the Wu family’s manor. After entering the Wu family’s main entrance and walking past the 24-steps stone staircase, one would reach the courtyard.

At the banquet venue, everyone was dressed in luxurious clothes and was drinking together.

The star of the cocktail party, Miss Wu Piaopiao, had worn a red high-waisted, backless dress. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, and a pair of smooth, lustrous pearl earrings graced her ears. Her milk-like skin looked even more exquisite and flawless under the light.

Wu Piaopiao stood beside her mother. She was a stunning beauty.

Her mother, Madam Wang Lin, was already 40 years old. She was tall, and one could see two light wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She still looked beautiful.

Qiao Jiusheng looked at Madam Wang Lin and thought that as a woman, she had to live like her so that her life would not be in vain.

When Qiao Jiusheng arrived at the venue, Wang Lin brought her daughter to welcome her.
