Chapter 78: Exposed (2)

Li Kui’s words shocked Qiao Jiuyin and also Fang Mu. Fang Mu, who was standing behind the door and eavesdropping, widened his eyes.

On the day of the accident…

Fang Mu suddenly thought of something he had overlooked.

On the day of the accident, he had rushed to the scene of the accident. The Qiao Jiusheng he had seen was dressed in a long beige jacket, which was rare. The Xiao Sheng in his impression was a girl who would wear black rather than plain clothes.

At that time, the situation had been grave, and he had not paid attention. Thinking back, isn’t this a suspicious point?

After a while, Qiao Jiuyin found her voice. “W-What did you say?”

Li Kui held onto the wall and stood up. He patted the dust on his crotch. As a certain part of his body hurt, his expression became a little indescribable. Seeing Qiao Jiuyin look over, he pursed his lips and said, “The day you guys went to Linfeng County, I followed you. My car was right behind you.”

When Qiao Jiuyin heard this, her expression finally changed.

As her most fervent admirer, Li Kui was indeed capable of doing such a thing.

“I was the one who called the police after the accident.” When Li Kui said this, Qiao Jiuyin believed fifty to sixty percent of his words.

Li Kui continued, “When your car was at the gas station, my car was not far behind you. I remember very clearly that on that day, you had worn a beige jacket and your sister was dressed in a pair of black jeans and a light blue jacket.

“However, when the traffic police found your sister, the person called Qiao Jiusheng was wearing Qiao Jiuyin’s clothes. Ah Yin, are you still not admitting it?” On the day of the accident, Li Kui had only watched the scene from afar. He had been unaware that Qiao Jiuyin had replaced Qiao Jiusheng.

At that time, he had even heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Qiao Jiuyin was fine.

Li Kui’s words were backed by evidence. He did not appear to be lying at all.

Fang Mu peeped at this scene from afar. When he heard Li Kui’s words, his heart twisted into a ball.

Qiao Jiuyin had only been skeptical of Li Kui’s words before, but now, she completely believed it.

The reason was that his words were the same as what Qiao Jiuyin remembered from that situation.

“Ah Yin, I know that you’ve always loved Fang Mu. But, do you feel at ease getting close to Fang Mu as your dead sister, marrying him, and getting pregnant with his child? What will Fang Mu think if he finds out the truth one day!”

Li Kui used to love Qiao Jiuyin’s charming temperament, which was aloof from worldly affairs, and her rose-like demeanor. However, the current Qiao Jiuyin only made him feel disappointed.

He had originally planned to comfort Qiao Jiuyin after the incident. Unexpectedly, he had seen the news of Qiao Jiuyin’s death in the newspaper. At that time, he had realized that something was wrong. Later on, he secretly paid attention to Qiao Jiuyin for a long time and finally figured out her goal.

She had actually replaced her biological sister to marry Fang Mu!

In just a few months, she had become the second young mistress of the Fang family and even gotten pregnant.

The speed was shocking.

Today, Li Kui bumped into Qiao Jiuyin and Fang Mu at the mall. He had seen Fang Mu’s blissful expression as the latter picked the prams. Li Kui thought that if Fang Mu found out ‘Qiao Jiusheng’ was not Qiao Jiusheng but Qiao Jiuyin, his furious expression would be scary for Qiao Jiuyin.

Fang Mu was a dangerous person. Li Kui did not know what Fang Mu would do to Qiao Jiuyin, so he could only call Qiao Jiuyin out alone. He wanted to persuade her to come clean early.

Qiao Jiuyin was panicking inside, but her expression was calm.

She organized her words and said to Li Kui, “Li Kui, my sister’s death has dealt a huge blow to you. I’ll take what you said today as nonsense. This is the first time you’ve offended me, so I won’t fuss over it. Don’t come harassing me again. I’m a married woman. Meeting a single man alone can easily cause a misunderstanding. This will bring a lot of trouble to my family.”

After arranging her slightly messy bangs, Qiao Jiuyin said, “My husband is still waiting for me, so I’ll be leaving first.”

With that, she elegantly turned around and calmly left.

Li Kui stared at Qiao Jiuyin’s back, his eyes revealing a mix of disappointment and worry.

***

Qiao Jiuyin returned to the shop with items for mothers and infants. When she saw that Fang Mu had already chosen something, she took a deep breath and smiled. Then, she walked behind Fang Mu and patted his back.

Fang Mu turned around and met her bright smile.

As he stared at her smile, Fang Mu seemed dazed.

The way she smiles is really the most similar to Xiao Sheng in the world.

“What took you so long?” he asked.

“My stomach feels a little unwell. I stayed a little too long. Have you chosen everything?”

“Yeah.”

“I’m a little hungry. Let’s go eat.”

“Okay.”

Fang Mu brought Qiao Jiuyin to a Japanese restaurant.

Qiao Jiuyin stood outside the shop, her eyes revealing discomfort. “Can we go somewhere else?”

If it were in the past, Fang Mu would’ve definitely followed her.

However, today, he said in a non-negotiable tone, “You used to like to eat these strange things the most. I haven’t brought you here in a long time. Let’s go and try it.”

Qiao Jiuyin could only follow him in.

Fang Mu ordered one serving according to what Qiao Jiusheng liked. “Add mustard,” he specially instructed when he ordered.

Qiao Jiuyin’s face fell.

God knew she hated mustard.

In contrast, every time Qiao Jiusheng ate Japanese food, she would have mustard.

A variety of exquisite food was soon placed in front of Qiao Jiuyin. Other than seafood, which pregnant women could not eat, there was everything else. Fang Mu gently smiled at her and said, “This is your favorite squid. Try it.”

As Qiao Jiuyin looked at the dense flesh on the squid’s wrist, she felt disgusted.

Fang Mu stared at her face and saw her reaction. He asked, “What happened? You don’t want to eat? Do you still have no appetite?”

Shaking her head, Qiao Jiuyin ate one.

When she swallowed it, her stomach uncomfortably churned.

This was not due to pregnancy vomiting, but purely because she hated squid. The vomiting reaction was psychological. She tried to endure it, but in the end, she could not hold it in anymore. She said to Fang Mu, “My stomach is a little unwell. I’ll go to the washroom.” After saying that, without waiting for Fang Mu to reply, Qiao Jiuyin quickly got up and ran to the washroom.

Fang Mu stared at the ingredients in front of him with a cold glint in his eyes.

He also got up and went to the washroom. As he stood at the door of the female washroom, he listened to the vomiting sounds inside. His hands, which hung by his trouser legs, suddenly tightened.

By the time dinner finished, Qiao Jiuyin’s face had turned pale.

Originally, Fang Mu had planned to accompany Qiao Jiuyin for a walk in the afternoon. However, the moment they came out of the restaurant, he made an excuse and said that he had something on at the company and had to go to work.

A regretful expression appeared on Qiao Jiuyin’s face. She forced a smile but pretended to be considerate as she said, “Go ahead. The company’s matters are more important.”

“Yeah.”

Fang Mu personally sent Qiao Jiuyin home before going to the company.

When Qiao Jiuyin saw Fang Mu leave, the smile on her face disappeared. It was replaced with a worried expression.
