Chapter 298: He Exchanged His Lifespan For Her Rebirth

The next day, Fang Yusheng returned to Binjiang City alone with the ball of light worth 230 million USD.

When he reached his house in Binjiang City, he placed the black light in the collection room and didn’t take another look.

Three years after Qiao Jiuyin’s death, Fang Yusheng celebrated his 55th birthday.

When Fang Mu had gone to jail, Fang Yusheng had taken over the Fang Corporation. Now, he was President Fang. This year, a few colleagues who were on good terms with him, as well as Qi Bufan, all proposed to hold a birthday party for him. Fang Yusheng had not held a birthday party for decades.

For some reason, he agreed to their request.

On this day, he, who had not drunk alcohol for more than twenty years, actually drank more than ten cups of strong liquor.

After gulping it all, he said to Qi Bufan, “Bufan, I’m tired.”

Qi Bufan looked at him. Fang Yusheng had worn a black suit and leather shoes. Although traces of aging could be seen on his face, he still looked beautiful.

Time loved him dearly, but fate had let him down.

Qi Bufan looked at Fang Yusheng and suddenly felt uneasy. “Sir, what’s wrong?”

Fang Yusheng shook his head. “It’s nothing.” He shook the whiskey in his hand and looked at the pool below him. The beautiful ladies walking through the crowd entered his eyes. He looked at the beautiful young faces of the ladies and suddenly said, “Do you know what my mother meant when she named me Yusheng?”

Qi Bufan shook his head. “I don’t.”

Fang Yusheng chuckled and said, “My mother named me Yusheng because she wanted me to live a happy life.” Fang Yusheng pointed at his head and said, “Happiness? Happiness? Ha…” He shook his head and laughed at himself. “The rest of my life is a lonely life…”

The thought of not having anyone to accompany him for the rest of his life made Fang Yusheng sad.

A couple was planning to dance next to the pool.

Fang Yusheng handed the wine gla.s.s to Qi Bufan and walked to the pool to borrow a violin from the band. He stood by the pool and said to the couple, who were planning to dance, “May I ask if you mind letting me play a song for you?”

The couple turned around and was surprised to see that it was Fang Yusheng, the host of the banquet.

“Of course, you can, President Fang. It’s our honor that you’re willing to play for us.” The man who had answered was just an ordinary middle management staff member of the Fang Corporation, but he admired Fang Yusheng very much.

Fang Yusheng nodded and spread his legs apart. He stood tall and straight.

He was standing in a domineering manner, but the moment he lifted the violin, his expression became gentle.

Fang Yusheng held the bow in his right hand and played some music.

Even though the crowd didn’t know where the song came from, it didn’t stop everyone from appreciating Fang Yusheng’s performance. In the crowd, a girl who had studied at J University suddenly lowered her head and said to her mother beside her, “Mom, President Fang is playing this song called Eternal Moment.”

That mother quickly took out her phone and searched for this song.

Fang Yusheng was immersed in his world. He quietly played the violin. The spring breeze from February on the lunar calendar blew up his long hair. The man with his eyes closed suddenly opened them. His green eyes stared at a certain place without blinking, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Qi Bufan followed his gaze and realized that Fang Yusheng was looking at a rose.

That rose was blooming beautifully.

No one knew that Fang Yusheng could play the violin well. After he finished playing, he received thunderous applause.

Fang Yusheng returned the violin to the musician, then said to Qi Bufan, “Bufan, don’t turn off your phone tomorrow. Lawyer Qin will call you. I’m going to rest now.”

“Okay.”

Fang Yusheng left the banquet venue and returned to the Fang family’s house.

He entered the collection room alone and found the aged phone. He opened it again. Fang Yusheng played the only song in the music room and listened quietly. In front of him was a leather notebook.

Fang Yusheng wrote many things in his diary.

There was his hatred for Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin, his guilt toward Fang Yuqing, his longing for his mother, and his longing for that girl.

Thinking of that person, he wrote down the last sentence on the paper.

I had never owned her, yet it felt like I had lost her countless times. Every time I think about her, I lose her again.

My mother named me Yusheng because she wanted me to live a happy life, but I spent the rest of my life reliving my heartbreak.

The rest of my life is a lonely one.

If there really is reincarnation, I pray that she can live for a hundred years. If the heavens take pity on her and let me meet her again, then…

Fang Yusheng suddenly deleted the last sentence.

As he listened to the sound of the violin, he murmured to the darkness. “If possible, I pray that I will meet you again in my next life. Next time, I will never miss you again.” Just as Fang Yusheng finished speaking, the black ball of light beside the table suddenly trembled.

Fang Yusheng noticed it and opened the gla.s.s cabinet, releasing the black ball of light.

As soon as the ball of light touched the air, it disappeared.

Fang Yusheng was stunned.

At this moment, a soft little boy’s voice resounded in his head.

“Time Wis.h.i.+ng Machine No. 199, starting now.

“Time Wis.h.i.+ng Machine No. 199 requests to be bound to the host…”

Time Wis.h.i.+ng Machine No. 199?

Fang Yusheng was surprised.

This thing entered his body?

The voice repeated, “Time Wis.h.i.+ng Machine No. 199, requesting to be bound to the host. Do you agree?”

Fang Yusheng agreed.

Ding!

“Time wis.h.i.+ng machine successfully tied to the host.”

After a moment of silence, the child’s voice spoke again. This time, he said, “h.e.l.lo, Guest. I’m Number 199. I can help you fulfill your wish.”

Fang Yusheng’s heart raced.

His mouth was dry. “How are you going to help me?” he asked Number 199.

“No. 199 is from the Star of Wis.h.i.+ng, and it has the ability to reverse time. I’ve checked the host’s lifespan, and the host can live to the age of 95. As long as the host uses the remaining 40 years of his life as the price, he can turn time back to 30 years ago and make everything start over.

“If Qiao Jiusheng can find you or you can find her during the redesigned time, and both of you successfully fall in love with each other, the trajectory of your fate will change. Once your wish is fulfilled, your 40 years of life will be returned to you as a reward. If your wish is not fulfilled, as the price of reversing time, 20 years of your life will be deducted. In other words, in the new world, you will die at the age of 35.

“Regardless of whether the wish can be fulfilled, as the price of going back in time, 20 years of your life will be taken away. Please consider carefully!”

Fang Yusheng’s heart was beating wildly.

“You’re saying that as long as I give up the remaining forty years of my life, I’ll have another chance to start over?” He felt that it was unbelievable and absurd, but at the same time, this possibility was extremely tempting to him.

“Mm-hmm,” said Number 199.

Fang Yusheng asked again, “If we start all over again and we don’t meet, or if we meet but don’t love each other, will I die when I reach the age of 35?”

“Yes.”

This is a gamble!

Fang Yusheng pondered for a moment before asking again, “Then… if we do not meet or if we do not fall in love, even if I die when I’m 35, will Qiao Jusheng still be alive?”

Number 199 was shaken.

It softly asked Fang Yusheng, “Guest, are you planning to use 40 years of your lifespan as the price to turn back time, regardless of the outcome, as long as Qiao Jusheng remains alive?” How could there be such a foolish person!

Fang Yusheng didn’t deny it. Instead, he asked, “Can’t I?”

“Sure.”

Number 199 sighed and said, “Host, do you really not want to think about it anymore? If you go back in time, whether your wish is fulfilled or not, 20 years of your life will be deducted.”

Afraid that Fang Yusheng did not hear it clearly, Number 199 explained it in detail again. “Your original lifespan was 95 years. If your wish gets fulfilled, and Qiao Jusheng and you are truly in love, the 40 years of lifespan will be returned to you. However, as the price of going back in time, 20 years of your lifespan will be deducted. In other words, you, who could have lived to the age of 95, will only live up to 75 in your next life. On the other hand, if your wish is not fulfilled, not only would you not receive a 40-year lifespan reward, but you would also lose 20 years of your lifespan on top of that. In other words, you would die at the age of 35!”

Number 199 sounded a little anxious. It felt that Fang Yusheng’s actions were not worth doing what he wanted to do.

Even a fool would not sacrifice decades of his life for a woman he had only spent half a month with!

However, after hearing the voice’s detailed explanation, Fang Yusheng still insisted on his decision. “There’s no need to hesitate anymore. I’ve decided. I’m willing to use 40 years of my life to exchange for a chance to turn back time. It doesn’t matter if I die at the age of 35 or 75. As long as Ah Sheng can live, everything’s worth it.”

Number 199 was speechless.

Number 199 suddenly recited a poem, “What love is in this world, it teaches one to live and die together…

“Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll immediately set up the Time Backtrack. This process might hurt a little, so you have to be mentally prepared.”

Fang Yusheng suddenly asked, “If we turn back time, do I still remember what happened now?”

“Of course not,” said Number 199.

Fang Yusheng asked again, “Not at all?”

“That’s not the case. As long as Qiao Jiusheng says ‘Fang Yusheng, I love you’ to you after she falls in love with you, Number 199 will automatically activate and help you remember this lifetime.”

Fang Yusheng took out his will and placed it on the desk. He said to Number 199, “It’s done.”

“Please try to relax, host. The 199th will immediately bring you back to thirty years ago—”

Without any warning, Fang Yusheng’s head started throbbing…

The next day, when Qi Bufan was still asleep, he received a call from Qin Ye. On the phone, Qin Ye said to Qi Bufan, “Mr. Fang Yusheng has pa.s.sed away. Mr. Qi, he left something in his will for you. Come over.”

Qi Bufan was stunned when he received this call.

He ran to the small building in a panic and saw Fang Yusheng, who was sitting behind the desk, looking extremely peaceful.

Fang Yusheng was wearing a neat suit, sitting on a leather chair. His expression was calm, and it looked like he had fallen asleep. Who would have thought that such an upright person would have already left this world?

In his will, Fang Yusheng properly distributed all his personal a.s.sets.

First of all, Fang Yusheng had given Qi Bufan a house in the small building and the Cang Dragon district. In addition, he had also given the two cars under his name to Qi Bufan. Moreover, he had told Qi Bufan in his will that he thought it would be a good idea for Qi Bufan to start a charity fund for retired soldiers and retired dogs.

To express his support, Fang Yusheng donated 200 million yuan under his name to Qi Bufan’s foundation.

When Qi Bufan heard Qin Ye read out Fang Yusheng’s will, he finally broke down in tears and knelt in front of Fang Yusheng.

After having been fired from the army, Qi Bufan had driven an excavator for a while and a large truck. It was Fang Yusheng who gave him a stable life. He used to criticize Fang Yusheng for being stingy, but this stingy person had donated 200 million yuan to those retired disabled soldiers and retired military dogs.

Qin Ye looked at Qi Bufan and felt a little emotional, but his face remained expressionless. He said, “Mr. Fang donates five million yuan worth of private a.s.sets under his name to Jing’an Nursing Welfare Inst.i.tute. He also donates one billion yuan to charity. This money is mainly used to help lonely old people, orphans, and children in poor areas. In the end, he gave the remaining two hundred million yuan under his name to Mr. Fang Yu’an. He hopes Mr. Fang Yu’an can help him start an organization to crack down on human traffickers and child s.e.x crimes…”

Fang Yusheng had donated all his a.s.sets to charity.

This caused the eyeb.a.l.l.s of those who had secretly called him Iron Rooster and Miserly Ghost to drop out in shock.
