Xiao Li and Ji Yinbing brought Fang Yusheng to a private room.

“There’s a bell by the bed. If you need anything, just press it,” Ji Yinbing said to Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng nodded and replied, “I want to take a shower first.”

Upon hearing the word shower, Zhuang Long curled his lips and mocked Fang Yusheng. “I heard from Ah Fan that you’ve changed. You have eaten vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures in the Fang family all these years. You have to shower every morning. I don’t have any Buddhist scriptures for you to listen to or a wooden fish for you to knock. Sorry!” His words were rather insincere.

Fang Yusheng unbuttoned his coat and said to Zhuang Long, “I don’t believe in Buddha anymore. It’s time to eat meat.”

Zhuang Long raised his eyebrows. Suddenly, he thought of the woman called Qiao Jiusheng, who Ah Fan had mentioned before, and stopped talking.

“Take a shower and rest well. After lunch, I’ll do a detailed examination of your eyes. We’ll talk about everything when the results are out.” Ji Yinbing pulled Zhuang Long away. Fang Yusheng waited for the door to close, then took off his clothes and entered the bathroom.

Due to the time difference of the zones, it was currently nine o’clock in the evening in China

Fang Yusheng wrapped himself in a bathrobe and came out of the shower. He then leaned against the headboard and called Qiao Jiusheng.

The call got picked up really quickly.

Qiao Jiusheng, who had been bathing as well, heard the phone call. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself. Then, she ran barefoot to her room and picked up the phone. “Fang Yusheng?” With the phone in her hand, she walked back to the bathroom.

Fang Yusheng heard her and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Showering.”

Qiao Jiusheng placed the phone on the triangular shelf and asked Fang Yusheng while cleansing herself, “What are you doing?”

“I just took a shower.”

“Tsk!” At the thought that it was morning and he was still showering, Qiao Jiusheng could not help but mutter, “He has a lot of problems.”

Fang Yusheng smiled.

He chatted with Qiao Jiusheng word for word. As he listened to the sound of the water, he felt his heart had turned into flowing water. He reached out to touch his eyes, feeling melancholic. He did not know if he could heal his eyes this time.

After ending Fang Yusheng’s call, Qiao Jiusheng changed her clothes. Just as she dried her hair, she heard Aunt Jin’s voice from below. “Madam, the guard called and said that someone is looking for you outside.”

Qiao Jiusheng stretched her head out of the window. She asked Aunt Jin, who was standing in the backyard. “What’s that person’s name?”

“She didn’t say it, but she’s a foreign woman.”

Qiao Jiusheng suddenly remembered Fang Yusheng’s warning from just before he left.

She quickly said to Aunt Jin, “I’ll be right down.”

Qiao Jiusheng took a jacket and draped it over herself. She then quickly went downstairs and rode an electric convertible to the guard.

From afar, she saw a beautiful woman dressed in a short black leather jacket and tight blue jeans. The woman was standing under the yellow light with a handbag.

“Suzanne!”

Qiao Jiusheng parked the car and personally picked up Suzanne.

Suzanne glanced at Qiao Jiusheng’s electric car and smiled.

Qiao Jiusheng patted the back seat and said to her, “Get in.”

Suzanne didn’t mind. She crossed her legs and sat in the backseat.

After returning to the house, Qiao Jiusheng personally helped Suzanne adjust the guest room. Suzanne took out the props she had prepared before and sat on the sofa, fiddling with them. Seeing that Qiao Jiusheng was done packing, she waved her hand and called her over. “Come, change your face.”

Qiao Jiusheng tied up her hair and sat beside Suzanne. She let Suzanne change her mask.

When the mask changing was done, Suzanne observed Qiao Jiusheng’s new mask and casually said, “Why didn’t An bring you along with him to America this time?”

Surprised, Qiao Jiusheng asked her, “You know that he went to America?”

“I do,” Suzanne explained with a smile. “We’re very good friends.”

Qiao Jiusheng lowered her head, unknown what she was thinking about. She then heard Suzanne continue, “I thought he would bring you to America to see Yinbing.”

Yinbing.

Definitely a woman.

Qiao Jiusheng curled her lips and said with a smile, “It’s so free to be alone. He would’ve felt uncomfortable had he brought me along.” Wouldn’t I interrupt him from catching up with his good friend?

When Suzanne heard this, she looked at Qiao Jiusheng and meaningfully smiled.

“Tsk! His return this time might surprise you.”

Qiao Jiusheng rolled her eyes. “Forget it. I have to pay him back for bringing me the 10th generation X. Don’t expect him to prepare a surprise for me on top of that.”

Suzanne could not understand the words “don’t expect.” However, she could guess the carelessness. She said, “An has always been stingy. Considering that, he has been very generous to you.”

“I really can’t see how he treats me well.”

Suzanne said, “He bought that electric car parked outside your door, right? You don’t know, do you? Before you two married, whenever he went out to get parcels and groceries, he rode bikes.”

Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.

She had an electric car now, and a convertible one at that. This treatment was really good.

“I’m going to America tomorrow as well. It’s getting late now. Let’s sleep.”

“Yeah.”

After staying at the Fang family home for the night, Suzanne had breakfast the next morning. Then, Qiao Jiusheng sent her to the airport.

At the airport hall, five to six youngsters were carrying boxes as they followed a woman dressed in a black suit. Qiao Jiusheng glanced at the group from afar. When she saw that the person leading the group was Wei Xin, she subconsciously wanted to hide. Facing her close friend, Wei Xin, she felt extremely guilty.

However, whatever she was afraid of came. Wei Xin still spotted her.
