fang shan's words made sense.

qiao jiuyin had done so many cruel things in her youth. if she had really done something to take revenge on society, it did not seem that unacceptable.

fang shan said no more.

they didn't have dinner that day and took a plane back to binjiang city. it was monday the next day, and they still had classes. on a thursday afternoon of the following week, fang shan received a call from qiao sen, who told him that qiao jiuyin had been picked up.

under qiao sen's arrangements, qiao jiuyin was admitted to junyang city's yasui women's hospital. it was one of the most authoritative hospitals in the country when it came to women's diseases.

!!

fang shan was not too surprised when he heard the news.

he had already expected this outcome. however, he didn't know if his uncle and aunt would be angry if they knew about this.

after qiao sen hung up on fang shan, he dialed qiao jiusheng's number.

when he made the call to qiao jiusheng, qiao sen felt a little troubled. these two younger sisters of his had fought each other to the death when they were young. he did not know if qiao jiusheng would object to his decision to release qiao jiuyin for medical treatment.

qiao sen called the number with uncertainty.

qiao jiusheng picked up very quickly.

"boss!"

qiao jiusheng was working in the jade shop when she received the call. there were a few pink stones on the table in front of her. they were all pink crystals. qiao jiusheng had received a new order to carve a longevity peach with pink crystals. the guest wanted to give it to her as a congratulatory gift on her mother's 68th birthday.

as qiao jiusheng picked, she spoke to qiao sen on the phone.

"what are you doing, shengsheng?" jenson's heart was filled with apprehension, and his tone was especially gentle.

" i'm at work, " qiao jiusheng replied.

qiao sen laughed, " i forgot that you still need to work. "

"look at what you're saying, that's not nice." qiao jiusheng picked a pink crystal the size of two baby's fists, and she asked the store assistant to place the other pink crystals into the warehouse.

after the staff left with the plates, qiao jiusheng asked qiao sen, " boss, why did you call me? "

jenson coughed.

" what's wrong? is your throat uncomfortable? "

"i didn't ..."

"did my sister-in-law scold you again?" without waiting for qiao sen's explanation, qiao jiusheng lectured him, " my sister-in-law is good enough. you must have done something wrong to make her scold you. " did a vixen seduce you again?"

" hey, you have to dote on her a little. don't forget that the little assistant who chased her all over the world is still single. "

"shut up, you." qiao sen was furious. " so what if he's single? " he was single because of his strength! he's not as good as i am, do i need to be on guard against him?" although he said that, qiao sen's expression was sullen.

that's right, qiao jiusheng was right. that little assistant had always been single and was still dreaming about the day he and ji qing divorced.

in your dreams!

he would hold onto ji qing's waist tightly for the rest of his life and not let go. he wanted to wait for them to get a divorce before he could take over the rest of ji qing's life? why didn't he take a piss and look at his own cowardly self!

qiao sen was cursing his assistant inside out when he heard qiao jiusheng say impatiently, " what's the matter? i'm hanging up if you don't tell me. " only then did he remember why he had made this call.

"i have something to tell you." qiao sen stammered, " well, it's ... um, your sister ... ah yin. she has some health issues and has contracted cervical cancer. she's already in the middle stage. " she's only in her forties, and i've watched her grow up. i can't bear to see her wait for death. i've applied for medical parole, and it's been approved."

"ah yin has been admitted to the hospital."

after he finished speaking, qiao sen didn't hear qiao jiusheng's reply, and he felt even more uncertain. "shengsheng, why aren't you saying anything? is this brother kuai?"

being an older brother was really difficult, especially being the older brother of two women. if these two women's relationship was so bad that they wanted to stab each other to death, it would be even more difficult to be the brother of these two women.

when qiao jiusheng heard the news, she was so shocked that she did not speak for a long time. qiao jiusheng was not angry at qiao sen for making decisions on his own. it had been a long time since she had heard any news about qiao jiuyin, and when she suddenly heard about her, qiao jiusheng felt that it had been a long time.

she was sick?

it was still the same illness.

it was unknown if qiao jiusheng had no feelings for qiao jiuyin, but their relationship had been alright when they were young. before the car accident, qiao jiusheng had always treated qiao jiuyin as her most trusted and most beloved sister.

it was only after he was injured and found out about qiao jiuyin's hidden true colors that his love for her turned into hatred. in addition, qiao jiusheng had lived two lives, so she had already lived for nearly a hundred years. too many years had passed, and the feelings they had when they were young had become shallow.

qiao jiusheng suddenly recalled their childhood.

they were so good when they were young.

when dad bought clothes for them, he always bought two pieces of the same style. her sister was wearing plain clothes while she was wearing bright ones. when they were older, her sister went to etiquette and baking classes while she went to taekwondo and fighting classes.

if qiao jiuyin was harassed, she would protect her like a hero.

all those scenes from a long time ago appeared in his mind. qiao jiusheng sighed softly and put down the pink crystal in her hand. she sat on a chair made of sour pear wood and said to qiao sen, " save her. "

jenson heaved a sigh of relief. "don't you blame big brother?"

"why would i blame you?" qiao sen wasn't her brother alone. qiao jiusheng was qiao sen's sister, and so was qiao jiuyin. the back of his hand and the palm of his hand were both meat, so who could qiao sen abandon?

after qiao jiusheng's understanding, qiao sen was completely at ease. "that's good."

after qiao sen hung up the phone, qiao jiusheng picked up the pink crystal and looked at it for a while, but she could not find any inspiration. she picked up the note and wanted to draw a draft on the paper, but the pen was in her hand and she couldn't write.

her heart was in a mess.

the news of qiao jiuyin's late-stage cancer made qiao jiusheng's heart race.

he couldn't carry out his work properly.

qiao jiusheng ended work early.

fang yusheng had gone out to play golf with a friend whose surname was wen. when fang yusheng was on a date with his friends, qiao jiusheng would usually not disturb him. they were deeply in love, but love did not mean constant entanglement and disturbance.

it just so happened that wei xin was in the country these two days, so qiao jiusheng drove to find her.

wei xin brought susanna and her adopted son back to china.

qiao jiusheng had the key to wei xin's house, so she directly opened the door and entered. when she opened the door, she saw two figures stacked on top of each other on the wide sofa. she mumbled, " f * ck! " and quickly pulled the door open and left.

she was secretly glad that the two people inside were still wearing clothes.

in less than a minute, the door behind him opened.

su shanna stood behind the door with a calm expression. she smiled at qiao jiusheng and asked, " why aren't you coming in? "

qiao jiusheng subconsciously asked, " what for? i saw you guys doing a live broadcast?"

wei xin walked over and placed a hand on susanna's shoulder. she winked at qiao jiusheng and said shamelessly, " you want to watch the live broadcast? sure, find a room with mirrors on all four sides and try it out with your mr. fang, and you'll know."

qiao jiusheng scolded her shamelessly, " do you think i'm like you, that you're so sleazy! " although she was scolding him fiercely, she was a little tempted in her heart. f * ck, why didn't she think of that?

no, i have to install a few mirrors on all four sides of my room when i get back.
