Shao Xiang mysteriously gave the two candies to the two children.
“This is something that I just got not long ago!” Shao Xiang said with a smile.
Tang Tang picked up the candies, opened them, and put them into her mouth. She smacked the fragrance, looking very intoxicated.
He Peng carefully put the candies into his pocket, unwilling to eat them.
Shao Xiang looked at He Peng’s expression and felt her heart ache. She patted He Peng’s head and asked, “Where’s your father?”
On the way, Fang Ya had already briefed Shao Xiang on He Peng’s situation.
Knowing that He Peng’s parents were divorced and that it was not easy for He Peng to follow his father, Shao Xiang felt her heart ache.
“Father is at work,” He Peng said with his head slightly lowered.
“Then do you like Aunt Fang?” Shao Xiang asked tentatively.
He Peng raised his head and smiled at Shao Xiang. “I do!”
Shao Xiang looked at He Peng’s smile and smiled as well.
Fang Ya had prepared dinner and called Shao Xiang to bring her two children to eat together.
Shao Xiang ate Fang Ya’s cooking and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up. “It seems that Tang Fu has been treating you quite well these past few years.”
Fang Ya raised her eyebrows. She did not know what Shao Xiang was trying to say.
“All the housework at home was done by the servants, right?” Shao Xiang said with a smile.
Fang Ya suddenly felt a little awkward. “I’ve never been very good at cooking...”
Shao Xiang did not continue ridiculing Fang Ya. She only said, “I’ll start cooking tomorrow. If you’re willing, help me out.”
Fang Ya nodded heavily, her eyes filled with gratitude. Her mother had passed away early, so she did not have much opportunity to learn how to cook.
Tang Tang liked Shao Xiang’s cooking very much. If she could really learn Shao Xiang’s cooking skills, she believed that Tang Tang would not bother to look for food at the large woman’s house in the future.
After dinner, He Peng returned to his own room. Fang Ya coaxed Tang Tang to sleep in her own room.
Shao Xiang was given the room next door. It was not big, but it was very tidy.
Shao Xiang walked in, looked around, and quietly walked to the bedside and sat down.
Fang Ya knocked on the door and walked in. She immediately saw Shao Xiang sitting by the bedside in a daze.
“What’s wrong?” Fang Ya asked in confusion.
Shao Xiang gently patted the seat next to her and motioned for Fang Ya to sit down.
Fang Ya walked over and sat down beside Shao Xiang.
Shao Xiang held Fang Ya’s hand and smiled. “I want to thank you for helping Wu Wei out! Also, I...”
Fang Ya stopped Shao Xiang from continuing. “I’ve gone through some things, and I’ve also seen some things.”
“There are some things that should be fought for, and I won’t give up!” Fang Ya said firmly. “And there are some things that if you let go, you’ll let go of yourself.”
Listening to Fang Ya’s tone, Shao Xiang kept feeling that her words sounded a little like vicissitudes of life. Shao Xiang did not understand how Fang Ya would have come to develop such feelings.
“Are you okay?” Shao Xiang asked, looking at Fang Ya with concern.
Fang Ya smiled. “Everything is in the past! Everything will be fine!”
Shao Xiang nodded and said, “Yes! There are no obstacles that can’t be overcome. Everything must be moved forward!”
Fang Ya knew that Shao Xiang had experienced a lot in her life. This was also the reason why she desperately wanted to hold onto everything and not let go.
The next morning, Fang Ya set off to Lin Bin’s law firm.
Wu Wei obediently appeared at the law firm’s door on time. This made Fang Ya feel somewhat gratified.
“Let’s go! Hear what the lawyer has to say,” Fang Ya said as she brought Wu Wei upstairs.
Wu Wei followed closely behind Fang Ya, as if he was afraid that Fang Ya would abandon him.
Lin Bin saw Wu Wei and asked him in detail about all the details of how Wu Wei was lured into gambling. During this process, Fang Ya was very calm. No change in her face could be seen.
As Lin Bin listened to Wu Wei’s narration, the expression in his eyes changed slightly.
He said to Wu Wei, “Go out and wait for a while. I have something to tell Miss Fang.”
“Can... I still be saved?”Wu Wei looked at Lin bin with a pleading look.
Lin Bin nodded. “I’ll try my best to help you solve it.”
Wu Wei listened to Lin bin’s words and obediently walked out of the reception room.
Lin Bin looked at Fang Ya. The expression on his face was a little puzzled. “Were you already aware of Mr. Tang doing these things?”
Fang Ya shook her head. “Not particularly.”
Lin Bin asked again, “These things might send him to prison!”
Fang Ya grunted and said, “Yes, I know!”
Lin Bin’s expression changed again. “Miss Fang, I think you’re hiding something from me.”
The corners of Fang Ya’s mouth twitched. “It’s nothing important.”
“Don’t lawyers only look at factual evidence in everything?” Fang Ya smiled.
And with a single line, Lin Bin was unable to pursue his line of questioning.
