Chapter 168: Thank You for Being With Me

Fang Yu’an stared at Jiang Wei. The ruthlessness on his face was replaced by pity. He wiped his face before saying, “Qingqing became pregnant with that person’s child.”

Jiang Wei was stunned.

His heart suddenly ached.

He felt an indescribable and inexplicable pain.

“Did Qingqing tell you who that person is?” Jiang Wei asked Fang Yu’an.

Shaking his head, Fang Yu’an replied, “She refused to tell me. In fact, I’m very worried about her.” From last night until now, Fang Yuqing had been locked inside her room. This morning, Fang Yu’an had gone to look for her. However, no matter what he asked, Fang Yuqing refused to answer him.

“I-I don’t know who he is either,” Jiang Wei vaguely said. “I knew that she was in love, but I don’t know who the other person is. Qingqing only told me about this after they broke up.”

“Really?”

“Really!”

After Fang Yu’an left, Jiang Wei walked into the school with his school bag.

Along the way, he was in a daze.

He did not listen to the teacher’s lesson the entire morning; he just sat in the classroom, his mind in a mess.

After school, in the afternoon, he called Fang Yuqing. His call went through, but no one picked up. Jiang Wei refused to give up. He called a few more times. Finally, on the fifth time, his call got picked up.

“Yuqing?” Jiang Wei said in a careful voice.

Silence reigned on the other end for a long time before Fang Yuqing’s quiet voice came through the phone. “It’s me.” She sounded like she was in pain.

“Are you okay?” Jiang Wei sat on the long stone chair in the school and did not dare to speak loudly.

“I’m alright.”

Without knowing what to say, Jiang Wei remained silent but did not hang up.

On the other end, Fang Yuqing did not hang up the phone either.

After a long time, Jiang Wei spoke.

“I heard about you.”

“Oh.”

“Don’t be sad.”

“Yeah.”

“Your brother came to me.”

Fang Yuqing asked, “Did you tell him?”

Jiang Wei laughed. “It seems like you know why he’s looking for me.”

Fang Yuqing remained silent.

Jiang Wei said, “I didn’t tell him. Since you didn’t tell me, you must have your reasons.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuqing fell silent. A moment later, Jiang Wei heard Fang Yuqing say thank you. When he asked what she was thanking him for, Fang Yuqing said, “Thank you for being willing to accompany me.”

Jiang Wei frowned. He felt that something was wrong. However, he then heard Fang Yuqing say, “Jiang Wei, can you do me a favor?”

“Tell me.”

“If you see Hu Cheng, remember to beat him up.” She thought for a while and added, “Don’t kill him. Just give him a good beating.”

Jiang Wei laughed. “Okay.”

He seemed to hear Fang Yuqing grunt. Jiang Wei quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

“N-Nothing.” Fang Yuqing’s voice was getting softer and softer.

Jiang Wei’s frown deepened. “Fang Yuqing, are you feeling unwell?”

“No.” Fang Yuqing suddenly chuckled. She asked Jiang Wei, “Do you know how to sing ‘Girl, Don’t Cry’?”

Jiang Wei burst into laughter. “I do. Why? Do you want to hear it?”

“Ah! Can… can you sing it for me?”

Jiang Wei did not say anything.

Fang Yuqing remained silent.

The school was very quiet. Jiang Wei’s lips quivered as he awkwardly hummed the bright song, “Girl, Don’t Cry.”

Guess, who caused your heart to ache? Who made you cry?

What I Can Do

Gently, comfort your heartache and blow on your wound

Don’t Cry

If you are sad tell me

Don’t Cry

I don’t want to see you cry

Holding back tears

Even if in this life

I can only be your friend

Jiang Wei’s voice was not pleasant, nor was he good at singing. However, he still finished the song very seriously.

After Jiang Wei finished the song, he did not hear Fang Yuqing speak. So he asked, “Why? Is it so bad that you fell asleep?”

There was silence on the other end.

“Fang Yuqing?

“Yuqing?

“Qingqing?”

Jiang Wei called out a few times. No one spoke on the other end, but he could hear the sound of water. He thought about the tone and content of her words and felt like something bad had happened. His expression suddenly changed. Jiang Wei suddenly stood up, grabbed his bag, and ran out of the school.

***

Qiao Jiusheng had heard that Fang Yuqing did not eat anything today.

Worried, she went to the main house to see Fang Yuqing.

Xu Pingfei was fretting over a few plates of food. When she saw ‘Qin Yunsheng,’ she quickly stood up and said, “Yunsheng, thank God you’re here. Go and persuade Qingqing to eat something.”

“Okay.”

The two of them carried the dishes upstairs together.

After knocking on the door, Qiao Jiusheng said, “Qingqing, open the door. Sister-in-law is talking to you.”

There was no movement inside.

Xu Pingfei said, “Previously, when I knocked on her door, she was the same and ignored me. This girl doesn’t even eat. She’s worrying me to death.”

When Qiao Jiusheng heard her words, she felt uneasy.

Frowning, she asked, “Aunt Xu, how long has she been like this?”

Xu Pingfei was stunned.

When she realized what Qiao Jiusheng meant, her expression changed. “You mean…” Xu Pingfei widened her eyes in disbelief.” N-No.” She slammed the door and kept calling Fang Yuqing’s name, but she did not get a reply.

Qiao Jiusheng felt that something was wrong. She quickly took out her phone to call Fang Yusheng and asked him to send over Qi Bufan.

Qi Bufan ran over without delay. He arrived at the house with a chainsaw.

“Move.”

Qiao Jiusheng took Xu Pingfei and the servants away.

Qi Bufan sawed open the door with a chainsaw, leaving a huge hole in the door. He entered the room but did not see Fang Yuqing. Qiao Jiusheng, Xu Pingfei, and the servants entered one after another. Seeing no one inside the room, Qiao Jiusheng and Xu Pingfei slowly opened the bathroom door with pale faces.

“Ah—”

Xu Pingfei was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Qiao Jiusheng was also shocked.

The bathtub was filled with warm water. The water had turned red. In her nightgown, Fang Yuqing was lying in the bathtub. Her wrists were still bleeding.
