Chapter 259: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here!

He Feng sent Fang Ya and Shao Xiang home and hurried back to the police station.

Fang Ya knew He Feng’s mood at the moment.

He was anxious to prove Li Tong’s innocence and was trustworthy.

However, sometimes, the closer one was to someone, the harder it was to see through something.

Fang Ya sighed helplessly and suddenly felt a little tired.

A light knock suddenly came from outside the door. Fang Ya walked over and opened the door. Wang Xu was standing outside.

After letting Wang Xu in, Fang Ya pulled her to sit on the sofa.

“How is it? Are you feeling better?” Fang Ya asked Wang Xu with concern.

Wang Xu smiled at Fang Ya. Although it was a little forced, a slight bounce had returned in her step.

Fang Ya held Wang Xu’s hand and said softly, “Just take the time to digest it slowly.”

“I won’t give you any advice, but I hope that you can use this time to think about the two of you,” Fang Ya advised patiently.

“I understand.” Wang Xu smiled at Fang Ya. “But I hate waiting.”

“Are you going to look for him?” Fang Ya asked softly. “Talk it out?”

Wang Xu lowered her head slightly and shook it gently. “I don’t have the courage yet.”

Wang Xu told her the truth, sounding a little aggrieved.

Fang Ya knew how she felt and did not push her. “Then take it slow. Don’t rush.”

Wang Xu raised her head again and smiled at Fang Ya. “Sister Ya, I want to start working. Can you give me a chance?”

Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu’s determined gaze and nodded with a smile. “It’s not that I want to give you a chance to work. It’s that you want to start your own business, isn’t it?”

When Wang Xu heard Fang Ya’s words, the corners of her mouth rose, and she looked much more confident. “Yes! I want to live for myself!”

Fang Ya gently patted Wang Xu’s arm and said, “You have your unique charm and your strengths, so don’t let anyone or anything interrupt your plan, okay?”

Wang Xu nodded heavily. “I came to find you to tell you that I plan to meet Chu Qi again tomorrow to discuss the future investment projects.”

The smile on Fang Ya’s face deepened. “Okay! Tell me what you need, and I’ll try my best to support you!”

Wang Xu gently leaned her head on Fang Ya’s shoulder and let out a deep breath. “You’re already supporting me now! Thank you, Sister Ya!”

Fang Ya reached out and gently put her arm around Wang Xu’s shoulder. “Don’t be afraid! Life is long. Every encounter is a paving stone for you to grow up. Take it one step at a time. It will pass eventually.”

Wang Xu smiled and nodded. “I know! I’ll work hard!”

After Wang Xu left, Fang Ya prepared some information and planned to provide some help in the collaboration between Wang Xu and Chu Qi.

Although Fang Ya did not have much talent in investments, her “foresight” was something that gave her an edge others could not even dream of.

Although Fang Ya could not be precise about every little thing, her general direction and train of thought were pointed the right way.

Therefore, she planned to make good use of this knowledge and definitely ease Wang Xu and Chu Qi’s investments!

After organizing the information, Fang Ya was about to go back to her room to sleep. When she saw that Shao Xiang’s room was not closed, she knocked on the door and walked in.

Shao Xiang was holding a piece of clothing and sitting by the bed in a daze.

Fang Ya could tell that it was Wu Wei’s clothes.

Wu Wei had already been convicted and was currently locked up in a drug rehabilitation center for compulsory detoxification.

Fang Ya had once asked Shao Xiang if she wanted to visit him, but Shao Xiang had refused.

Fang Ya knew Shao Xiang’s mood, and she also knew that she was unwilling to face her son who had hurt her heart so.

However, Shao Xiang had been lonely and bitter all her life. She married a husband and had a son, but she was abandoned and had no choice but to remarry.

Although Fang Ya’s father had provided her with a relatively comfortable life, her son did not live up to her expectations, and Shao Xiang had also been distressed for a long time.

She had not had an easy life. She thought that she would be able to retire in peace, but such a thing had happened to Wu Wei again.

When she left home, Shao Xiang thought that she would never be able to return to her hometown for the rest of her life.

Finally, one day, she was able to set foot on the road back to her hometown, but she realized that things had changed. The only family member she could contact was still unconscious.

Fang Ya sighed silently. For Shao Xiang and for herself.

Fang Ya knew Shao Xiang’s pain, just like her in her previous life.

She died in loneliness and regret.

She did not want to see Shao Xiang face such a day.

Fang Ya walked forward and sat beside Shao Xiang. “Mom, what are you thinking about?”

Shao Xiang put the clothes in her hands on her lap and looked at Fang Ya. “Tell me, am I a walking curse?”

Fang Ya gave a helpless and bitter smile. “Why would you say that?”

Shao Xiang sighed. “The people around me are always in trouble. I’m very… very afraid that you…”

Fang Ya heard Fang Ya’s words and gently pulled her into her arms. “Don’t be afraid! I’ll be fine! We’ll all be fine!”

Shao Xiang heard Fang Ya’s words and the tears in her eyes slowly flowed down. “Why is life so bitter!”

Fang Ya hugged Shao Xiang tightly. “Don’t be afraid! I’m here!”
