Chapter 221: New Class Teacher
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next morning, Fang Ya and He Peng arrived at school together.
After following He Peng to the teacher's office, Fang Ya learned that it was Teacher Hao from the hospital that day.
Fang Ya was about to greet Teacher Hao when she saw He Peng walk over quickly. "Teacher Hao, my mother is here."
Teacher Hao quickly stood up and looked at Fang Ya. She was stunned for a moment before she smiled at Fang Ya and said, "Hello! We meet again."
Fang Ya had not expected the gentle Teacher Hao and the teacher He Peng was talking about to be the same person.
Fang Ya followed He Peng to Teacher Hao with a smile on her face.
Since it was this teacher, Fang Ya felt that she could handle this matter without much trouble.
Teacher Hao led Fang Ya to a chair at the side.
He Peng stood obediently beside Fang Ya.
"It's like this. Yesterday, He Peng had a conflict with a classmate in class." Teacher Hao roughly explained the situation to Fang Ya.
Fang Ya listened carefully. Basically, it was in line with He Peng's description.
Of course, He Peng had some personal opinions concerning it. He described the classmate who had a conflict with him as baring his fangs and brandishing his claws.
After Teacher Hao finished describing the whole incident, she said to Fang Ya, "I invited you here today because I hope to take this opportunity to understand He Peng's family situation."
"I have just taken over the management of this class. I hope that the parents can actively cooperate with the school to resolve such a situation," Teacher Hao said sincerely.
Fang Ya had no reason to decline. She smiled and said, "Teacher Hao, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask."
Teacher Hao thought for a moment and then asked, "I heard that your family is a union of two divorcees?"
Fang Ya did not deny it. She nodded and said, "Yes, I'm He Peng's stepmother."
He Peng approached Fang Ya's side and said, "Not stepmother, she's my mom."
Fang Ya smiled at He Peng and then said to Teacher Hao, "We have never hidden anything from our children, so you can ask me anything you want."
Teacher Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Then what kind of work do you and He Peng's father do?"
Fang ya did not hesitate and answered honestly, "I'm currently at home on leave. He Peng's father works for the police."
Teacher Hao was a little surprised when he heard that. "Ah, so he's a policeman!"
Fang Ya found her reaction a little strange, but she did not ask further.
Teacher Hao smiled and continued, "Then do you take care of more children at home?"
Fang Ya nodded and said, "His father is busier, so He Peng usually follows me."
Teacher Hao lowered her eyes slightly, and then looked up again. "Well, if there's a chance, I hope to have a chat with He Peng's father."
Fang Ya smiled and replied, "When he's not busy, I'll ask him to come over and hold a parent-teacher meeting for the child."
The smile on Teacher Hao's face deepened, and she said, "That's naturally the best."
"Okay, I've basically understood the issues regarding He Peng's family. If there's anything that needs the family's cooperation in the future, I'll contact you and the child's father again," Teacher Hao looked at Fang Ya and said seriously.
Fang Ya paused for a moment before saying, "Alright! If there is anything, just contact me! The child's father is quite busy."
"Also, regarding yesterday's matter, I would like to know the school's decision on handling it?" Fang Ya felt that they had digressed.
Teacher Hao replied with an "Oh" and said, "Regarding the in-fighting among classmates yesterday, we hope that the two children can apologize to each other and admit their mistakes. After all, both parties had roles to play in the escalation."
Fang Ya frowned slightly, as if she was not satisfied with this suggestion.
"Teacher Hao, I know that He Peng has his own problems, but if the other party did not insult him first, this matter could have been avoided," Fang Ya said gravely to Teacher Hao.
Teacher Hao still had a smile on his face. "I know that, but the matter of the children..."
"Yes, although it is a matter of the children, they have to get this first step right." Fang Ya refused to relax even a bit and argued with reason.
"If it was He Peng who made the mistake first, I will let him admit his mistake first." Fang Ya voiced her own thoughts.
"But if it was the other party who made the mistake first, I hope that the other party can apologize first. After He Peng understands what caused it, he will apologize to the other party. I think it is more reasonable that way." As Fang Ya said this, she gently placed a hand on He Peng's back.
He Peng felt the strength behind him and instantly straightened his back.
Yes! He liked the feeling of being supported like this!
Although he felt that there was nothing wrong with Teacher Hao's suggestion, his mother's words seemed to be more in line with his true thoughts!
Teacher Hao looked at Fang Ya with a troubled expression.
The other child was the child of the school's educational administration director, so it would not be easy to make this happen.
She had hoped to wrap this up without any hassles, provided that He Peng apologized first....

Chapter 222: Distinguishing Right From Wrong
When she noticed the teacher struggling, Fang Ya did not want to make things difficult for her, so she said, "If it's not convenient for you to mediate it, I can personally talk to the other party's parents."
Teacher Hao quickly reached out to stop her and said, "Don't be hasty! Let me think about it again."
Her superiors had made it clear that this problem had to be resolved within a day or two.
Teacher Hao originally wanted to take the opportunity to chat with He Peng's parents and resolve this matter smoothly.
Most parents were more inclined to listen to their teachers' suggestions.
After all, their children spent most of their time with their teachers.
However, He Peng's mother seemed to be arguing with reason and was unwilling to let it slide, causing Teacher Hao to feel troubled.
She thought for a moment before saying, "How about this, you go back first. I will discuss it with the other party's parents. If possible, I will follow your suggestion. Is that alright?"
Fang Ya thought for a moment before nodding. She stood up and pulled He Peng out, "Alright! I will bring that child back first. When you have a solution, I will bring him over."
"That... won't do!" Teacher Hao hurriedly tried to stop her.
"The child isn't feeling well today. I'll have to trouble you to hold this matter for another day." Fang Ya refused to back down.
Teacher Hao gritted her teeth and said, "Alright! Bring the child back first. I'll contact you if I have any news!"
Fang Ya nodded and led He Peng out of the office.
Teacher Hao looked at Fang Ya's back and a fierce light flashed in her eyes.
Fang Ya held He Peng's hand and walked out of the office.
He Peng followed beside Fang Ya and felt the warmth and strength in his hand.
For the first time, he felt the love and protection from his mother.
Although He Peng did not know why his mother insisted on him leaving, he knew that his mother must be doing this for his own good!
Fang Ya held He Peng's hand and walked all the way to the car before stopping. "Do you have anything you want to ask?"
He Peng looked up at Fang Ya and shook his head. "No! I'll listen to my mother!"
Fang Ya smiled and stroked He Peng's hair. "Get in the car! I'll tell you everything when you get in!"
He Peng followed obediently into the car.
The two of them sat in the car. Fang Ya turned around and said to He Peng, "Teacher Hao asked a lot of questions today, but I still hope that the two of you get your apologies out.
"From what I've heard, I can tell that the other party made the mistake first." Fang Ya looked at He Peng seriously.
"Although humility is a virtue and politeness and forgiveness are things that you should learn, I hope that you know first that right and wrong can not be confused," Fang Ya reminded He Peng.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Fang Ya looked into He Peng's eyes and tried to ascertain his thoughts.
He Peng thought for a while and then said, "So, if I was in the right, I shouldn't apologize to him first?
"Although I can forgive him, it has to be after he sincerely apologizes to me!" He Peng summarized Fang Ya's words with his own thoughts.
Fang Ya embraced He Peng in her arms with relief. "You are so very smart!
"You have to know that there is no ambiguity in right and wrong. Right is right and wrong is wrong!" Fang Ya said softly.
"I got it!" He Peng said firmly.
Fang Ya exhaled softly.
She knew that it was a little too early to educate He Peng.
However, He Peng was not an ordinary person. He would become one of the top figures in this country in the future.
Therefore, in his heart, he had to have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. He must not be led astray by the ways of the world!
Fang Ya took He Peng home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Wang Xu sitting on the stool in a daze.
Fang Ya approached Wang Xu and saw that she was staring at a rock in front of her with her head lowered.
She waved to He Peng, indicating that He Peng should return to his room.
He Peng nodded and walked quickly to his room.
Fang Ya walked to Wang Xu and said softly, "What's wrong? Are you troubled?"
Wang Xu did not notice that Fang Ya and the others had returned. She was shocked when she heard the voice.
Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu's dazed expression and could not help but reach out to put her hand under her slightly opened mouth. "Watch out for your saliva!"
Wang Xu quickly shut her mouth, and then said a little embarrassedly, "I was thinking about something just now, so I didn't notice you guys coming back!"
"What are you thinking about?" Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu strangely.
Wang Xu looked around, then stood up and pulled Fang Ya into his room.
Fang Ya followed Wang Xu with some surprise. "Why are you being so mysterious again?"
Wang Xu pulled Fang Ya into the room. When he saw that there was no one outside, he closed the door.
"You hit the jackpot? Why are you being so mysterious?" Fang Ya frowned at Wang Xu.
Wang Xu walked to the table and pulled Fang Ya to sit on the stool. "Li Tong came to find me today."
"Li Tong? Did he confess to you?" Fang Ya asked anxiously.
She did not need to hear an answer. Wang Xu's face had instantly turned red.

Chapter 223: Li Tong's Confession
Wang Xu saw that Fang Ya and He Peng had gone to school together early in the morning, so she had prepared to go to the shop to have a look.
Although Fang Ya had said that she did not need to go over in the next few days, Wang Xu was still a little worried.
Just as she was about to go out, she saw Li Tong drive up to the gate of the courtyard.
Wang Xu thought that Li Tong was looking for Fang Ya, so she told him that Fang Ya had gone to school.
Unexpectedly, Li Tong had stared straight at Wang Xu and said, "I like you. Be my girlfriend!"
Li Tong's words had caught Wang Xu by surprise.
Wang Xu had been unable to react. She was stunned on the spot, but her whole face had turned red like a ripe tomato.
Li Tong had stared at Wang Xu, not giving her a chance to escape. No matter what, he wanted Wang Xu to give him an answer.
Wang Xu was simply too flabbergasted to speak, so she could only nod and agree to a date.
However, Wang Xu had also clearly stated the current situation at home. Perhaps the two of them were not meant for each other.
Li Tong seemed to already know about Wang Xu's situation. He did not probe much, only saying that the two of them would be together for as long as they could.
Listening to Li Tong's words, Wang Xu felt that this man was going to go all out.
However, that feeling only lasted for a moment. In the next moment, Wang Xu realized that she was already in Li Tong's arms.
As she recalled that scene, Wang Xu's face turned red again.
Fang Ya listened to Wang Xu's words and looked at the redness on her face. She suddenly found that young people's love was really beautiful.
Fang Ya had more experience than others. Although she would occasionally feel a little excited when she was with He Feng, the level of giddy excitement was still far from Wang Xu and the others.
Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu and suddenly felt a little envious.
Wang Xu noticed the way Fang Ya looked at her and became even more embarassed. "Sister Ya, don't look at me like that!"
The mischievous smile on Fang Ya's face made Wang Xu's entire face become even redder.
Fang Ya pulled Wang Xu's hand and smiled. "This is a good thing. I want to congratulate you!"
Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya a little embarrassedly. "I thought you would mind us being together."
"How could I! I'm so happy that you two can be together!" Fang Ya's smile deepened. "I watched the two of you slowly get there from afar!"
"But..." Wang Xu said with some hesitation. "I keep feeling that you've been talking about Li Tong strangely recently."
Fang Ya was stunned for a moment before saying, "No, there are just some things that I haven't figured out yet."
"It's simply fated that you two can be together. You don't have to worry about me!" Fang Ya said seriously.
Although she did not understand why Li Tong would disappear in the future, she still hoped that Wang Xu could have this happiness in the moment.
The future was as unclear as ever. She only had the illusion of foresight, not the genuine article. The most important thing was to cherish the present!
After hearing Fang Ya's words, Wang Xu finally revealed a calm smile.
She thanked Fang Ya and expressed her true thoughts.
"Actually, I don't know how long Li Tong and I can be together." Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"My family is one aspect. In addition, I feel that there are many aspects between us that are not compatible." Wang Xu said with some difficulty.
"His family seems to be very rich..." Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya as if she wanted to seek an answer.
However, Fang Ya was just as clueless.
Fang Ya had once asked He Feng about it, but even He Feng did not seem to know the exact situation of Li Tong's family.
He remembered when the last time the two of them mentioned Li Tong, He Feng had once said that Li Tong's family was originally a working family. He did not know when it started, but they suddenly had money.
Fang Ya guessed that maybe Li Tong's parents were also nouveau riches like Tang Fu, which was why Li Tong looked like a rich second generation.
Just the car that Li Tong usually drove was enough for him to save his salary for ten years!
Although Li Tong's identity and background had yet to be verified, Fang Ya was at the very least comfortable with the people by He Feng's side.
Moreover, Li Tong was He Feng's right-hand man, which gave her even more confidence.
Wang Xu was finally relieved, but there was one thing Fang Ya did not understand.
"You said you were going to the shop today. Did you notice anything?" Fang Ya was a little curious about Wang Xu's actions.
Wang Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I think the progress of the shop renovation is a little too fast."
Fang Ya was a little surprised. "I'm not familiar with the process. Isn't fast work always good?"
Wang Xu shook her head and said gravely, "There are many steps in the renovation that can not be ignored. It could easily cause problems in future use!"
"You know a lot about this aspect?" Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu with surprise and curiosity.
Wang Xu chuckled. "Not really. I just like to read books about this aspect!"
When Fang Ya heard Wang Xu's words, she suddenly had other thoughts.

Chapter 224: Inspecting The Construction
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Ya said seriously to Wang Xu, "If you are interested in this, I will consider sending you to study. Are you confident to learn well?"
"Study?" Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya in surprise.
"Yes! Go and gain some additional professional knowledge. Skills that would come helpful in the future!" Fang Ya said sincerely to Wang Xu.
"I don't have the energy to learn these, so I hope you can..."
Wang Xu stopped Fang Ya halfway.
"I'm willing! Sister Ya, I'm willing!" Wang Xu said without hesitation.
Fang Ya smiled with satisfaction. "Then I'll look for suitable learning modules and content as soon as possible. You have to study hard!"
Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya gratefully and held onto her hand, refusing to let go. "Sister Ya, thank you! Thank you for giving me a chance!"
The smile on Fang Ya's face deepened. "No need to thank me. You simply have to work hard. In the future, I'll need more of your help!"
Wang Xu immediately stood up to show her determination. "I won't let you down!"
Looking at Wang Xu's serious expression, Fang Ya could not help but laugh.
Upon Wang Xu's advice, Fang Ya took Wang Xu to the shop to check on the renovation.
As soon as they walked into the shop, they heard He Kun's voice coming from the inside. "Old Jun, you can't do it like this!"
A slightly hoarse voice answered snarkily, "Oh boy, young man, stop busting my balls. Put away your manuals, you learn tricks like these while on the job!"
"But, this isn't right!" He Kun still insisted. "If you do it like that, you leave that pole dangling without support. It's going to fall. It needs to be reinforced!"
The hoarse voice grew a little impatient. "Why do you care? It's not for you to use."
"You can't say that! This is a shop. There will be customers in the future. Even if there are not customers, the shopowners would be in danger!" He Kun said anxiously.
"Look at you, young man. Ever since you first showed up, you've been treating yourself like a big shot!" The hoarse voice was a little dissatisfied.
"Let me tell you, I'm the contractor here. Everyone here has to listen to me! Stop getting in my way!" The hoarse voice berated loudly.
Hearing this, Fang Ya finally said, "He Kun, come here for a moment."
The room immediately quieted down.
He Kun hurried out and saw Fang Ya and Wang Xu standing at the door.
"Sis, why are you here?"He Kun looked at Fang Ya in surprise. "It would have been nice if you had called before you came!"
"Called?" Fang Ya looked at He Kun and smiled. "Would I have heard such an interesting thing if I had called?"
At this moment, Foreman Bao came out in a hurry.
He tidied his clothes that were rolled up above his belly and took the cigarette out of his mouth. "Hey, lady boss, why are you here?"
Fang Ya was not very pleased with Foreman Bao's attitude, so she said, "I told you to call me Boss Fang."
"Hahah, this woman, look at her go. Call me Boss Fang!" Foreman Bao smiled nonchalantly.
"Can't a woman be a boss?" Fang Ya retorted with a stern voice.
Foreman Bao did not expect Fang Ya to react like this, so he said, "Hey, it's just a title. You don't have to mind it so much."
"It's just a title, you don't have to mind it so much, so please do as I ask," Fang Ya replied bluntly.
"Also, the renovations here should be redone according to my requests," Fang Ya looked around and continued.
"Hey, we don't need to do that!" The contractor immediately stopped her.
"It's almost finished, why would you still want to redo it?" The contractor asked with a calm expression.
"Is it better to redo it now or later?" Fang Ya did not back down and pressured him.
The contractor did not expect the gentle-looking Fang Ya to be so difficult to talk to. His expression instantly changed. "I say, you woman!"
"What of it?" Fang Ya did not flinch at all.
Foreman Bao was stunned for a moment, then he snorted and said to the workers inside, "Brothers, this lady boss says she won't pay us!"
More than a dozen workers ran out one after another, hurling abusive words.
Seeing this, Wang Xu hurried to Fang Ya's side.
He Kun subconsciously walked to Fang Ya's side.
Fang Ya looked at the two of them with a smile on her face.
A person's reaction in a critical moment was usually the most genuine reaction. The two people in front of her were obviously on her side.
In the face of the furious workers, Fang Ya's expression did not change at all. "We agreed on the contract before. The construction will be carried out according to my requirements.
"If you are unable to complete it according to the requirements, then return the deposit that I paid. I don't need you here anymore," Fang Ya said coldly.
"We have been here for so long, we've put so many man-hours into this. Are we going to quit just because you say so?" The contractor said fiercely.
"If you can complete the work according to the requirements, I will naturally settle the payment for you as usual.." Fang Ya was not frightened by the contractor's imposing manner.

Chapter 225: Call The Police
Those workers naturally took the side of their employer. They did not care whether Fang Ya was being reasonable or not. They were determined to fight Fang Ya to the death.
At that moment, the police from the nearby police station had received the call and rushed over.
When they saw Fang Ya, one of the police officers asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
When those workers heard the police officer address Fang Ya by that title, they were stunned for a moment. Their arrogance instantly dissipated.
Fang ya told the police the general situation.
The police took some notes while his partner walked over to the workers to verify the situation.
When the workers saw the police, they were already half-shocked. When they heard the police call Fang Ya 'sister-in-law', they were even more intimidated by Fang Ya's identity.
After they had a general understanding of the situation, the police asked Foreman Bao, "Are we going to proceed with this renovation?"
The contractor's previous self-assurance had long disappeared. He nodded his head and replied, "Yes!"
"Can it be done according to the requirements?" The police asked again.
"Yes!" The contractor did not dare to say another word.
The police nodded his head and said, "I've recorded your statement. If you can't do it, when the other party comes to call the police, it will be a contract dispute. We can file a case and arrest you, understood!"
How would the contractor know about a contract dispute? He only knew that if he didn't do his job well, he would be arrested by the police. He immediately begged for mercy. "We will definitely do our job well!"
When the police heard this, they nodded in satisfaction and left after saying goodbye to Fang Ya.
After the police left, Wang Xu finally let out a sigh of relief and gave Fang Ya a thumbs up. "Sister Ya, you're really amazing! When did you call the police?"
Fang Ya also looked at Wang Xu suspiciously. "Me? I didn't make the call!"
Just then, Mingxia stepped through the door.
She gave a silly smile. "Yes, I called the police."
Fang Ya looked at Mingxia in surprise. "Why are you here? Did you call the police?"
Mingxia walked in and smiled at Fang Ya. "Sister, you said last time that if you encountered any situation, you would call the police..."
"When I saw you guys surrounded, I thought..." Mingxia smiled embarrassedly.
Fang Ya looked at Mingxia and smiled. "Mingxia! You're really amazing!"
Wang Xu also said sincerely, "You were really quick-witted! Good job!"
He Kun saw Mingxia and smiled. "You're here."
Mingxia nodded at He Kun. "I, I brought you... you brought some food... I mean me."
Fang Ya and Wang Xu looked at each other and smiled.
Mingxia felt a little embarrassed when she saw the two of them looking at her pointedly.
Fang Ya did not want to make a scene, so she said to Wang Xu, "We still have other things to do. Let's go first!"
Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, then she understood what Fang Ya meant and nodded. "Ah! Yes! It's quite urgent. Let's go then!"
He Kun wanted to ask something, but Fang Ya said to He Kun, "Call me if there's anything. I'll leave everything here to you!"
He Kun was stunned for a moment when he heard Fang Ya's words. Then, he smiled happily and said, "Sis! Don't worry! I'll definitely do a good job!"
Mingxia looked at He Kun's excited expression and a surprised smile appeared on her face.
Fang Ya and Wang Xu got into the car together.
"Sister Ya, Mingxia seems to like that He Kun very much," Wang Xu said excitedly as soon as she got into the car.
"You saw it too!" Fang Ya beamed. She looked through the car window at Mingxia and He Kun who were standing at the door.
Wang Xu rolled down the car window and waved at the two of them. "Mingxia, come home early!"
The smile on Mingxia's face deepened, and she seemed a little shy. "I got it!"
Wang Xu snickered and rolled up the car window. "The two of them look so good together."
Uncle Chen, who had started the car up ahead, chuckled and said, "All of you youngsters are really living life!"
"Uncle Chen, what did you see?" Wang Xu looked at Uncle Chen's back and asked with a smile.
"I may be old, but I'm not deaf or blind!" Uncle Chen said as he looked at Wang Xu through the rearview mirror.
"Did your little boyfriend come to look for you today?" Uncle Chen said as he raised his chin at Wang Xu.
"That Miss Mingxia comes to see her cousin every few days!" Uncle Chen continued to say.
"Uncle Chen, you're prying into other people's privacy!" Wang Xu could not help but complain.
"What's there to pry? They're doing it all in broad daylight!" Uncle Chen said a matter-of-factly.
Fang Ya burst out laughing.
Uncle Chen continued, "When will you two be like your Sister Fang Ya? It'll be good if you get married and have a baby!"
"Oh right, when are you and Captain He going to have another baby?" Uncle Chen did not waste his talent in gossiping.
Fang Ya was suddenly asked by Uncle Chen. Her smile froze on her face and she looked a little embarrassed.
Wang Xu saw this and started to giggle as if she was watching a good show.

Chapter 226: Buying A Building
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Ya and Wang Xu did not go home directly. Instead, they went to a new location in the city.
Fang Ya knew the building that would stand here. In a dozen years, it would become the center of the city, also known as the CBD.
This city would develop at a rate that dwarfed the neighboring cities, and it this spot would be an important starting point for the gradual rise of the city.
Fang Ya looked at the building that had just been built and suddenly had an idea.
She took Wang Xu to a small house next to the construction site.
This small house was the sales office of this building.
The iconic sales center of a future real estate project looked a little simple and even a little desolate at the moment.
Fang Ya knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Fang ya walked in and saw two staff members sitting at the table recording something.
"Hello, May I ask..." Fang Ya asked politely.
The two staff members did not seem to care about Fang Ya and busied themselves.
Fang Ya coughed lightly and explained her purpose in coming. "May I ask, is this building being sold?"
When the two staff members heard this, they were stunned for a moment before turning to look at Fang Ya. "Sold?"
They looked at Fang Ya as though they were looking at a strange creature.
Fang Ya revealed a smile on her face. "Yes, I would like to ask if this building will be sold after it is built."
The two of them looked at Fang Ya before looking at each other before saying, "Wait a moment."
The two of them huddled together as though they were studying something. After a long while, they said, "This building will be sold, but it has to be sold as a whole."
Fang Ya was stunned when she heard that. She had not expected this building to be sold as a whole.
From what Fang Ya knew, residential houses in this period were mostly distributed by units, or a small number of people would buy and resell them.
People's living standards gradually improved, and the number of buildings in the city gradually increased. Most people also began to move from bungalows to buildings.
However, during this period, the housing prices were generally more friendly to the people, and people's awareness of buying a house was not quite there yet.
Fang Ya hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "May I ask, how much is the entire building?"
The other party did not expect Fang Ya to really ask and immediately looked at her in surprise.
One of them said, "You guys go into the office and sit for a while. I'll give our leader a call."
Fang Ya knew that the other party had no way to make a decision, so she patiently followed them into the office and waited.
"Sister Ya, are you really going to buy the entire building?"Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya in surprise. "That's a lot of money!"
Fang Ya smiled but did not say anything.
Currently, the government still had the final say in the city planning. Even if this building was really going to be sold, it was not something that a single company could decide.
Even a company like Taifeng construction had to climb up a certain thigh to get to where they were today.
Fang Ya was not in a hurry. She just waited quietly.
She was here today on a whim.
The building would be demolished and rebuilt in a few years.
The owners of the land and the residents would be the beneficiaries of the development of the times.
Fang Ya knew that her actions might affect some people's lives.
However, she wanted the people around her to be happier!
Finally, the leader of the real estate development company responsible for sales and the head of the government's docking department came to the sales office.
When they saw Fang Ya and Wang Xu, the faces of the two leaders changed slightly.
One of them asked, "Are the two of you the ones who want to buy this building?"
Fang Ya could hear the unfriendliness in the other party's tone, but she didn't care. She only asked, "Is this building for sale?"
"I'm sure our staff has already told you that this building can only be bought by the entire building." The person spoke again, his tone even more disdainful.
The corners of Fang Ya's mouth curled up slightly. "It would be best if I could buy it."
That person seemed to think that Fang Ya was a little crazy, so he said, "Do you know how much it would cost to buy this building?"
However, Fang Ya was not intimidated by the other party's attitude. "I just want to know what kind of procedures are needed."
Another person who had not spoken the entire time pulled back the somewhat agitated person from before, and said, "We can handle the procedures."
"But I don't know if you have the capital?" That person's tone was more gentle, and the speed of his speech was also slower and calmer.
Fang Ya revealed a faint smile towards that person, "Everything is easy to talk about, isn't it?"
"I believe this building of yours isn't easy to sell, otherwise, this place wouldn't be this idle." Fang Ya's words hit the nail on the head, and the expressions of those two people instantly turned somewhat ugly.
Fang Ya was very clear that although the location of this building would become a hotspot in the future, it was currently located in a remote area, far away from the main urban areas where people lived. There was simply no way to sell it at a high price.
Seeing that Fang Ya knew a lot more than she let on, the two people did not say anything more. They exchanged looks and said, "Come over tomorrow. We will draft you something."
"Okay!" Fang Ya did not say anything and left with Wang Xu..
Chapter 227: Believe It
Wang Xu followed Fang Ya out of the sales office and remained silent.
Although she had a lot of questions in her heart, she knew that Fang Ya must have her own reasons for doing this.
Wang Xu believed in Fang Ya's ability and judgment, and she was willing to follow her and help her.
After getting into the car, Fang Ya looked at the construction site that gradually left her sight. After a long time, she slowly turned her head to look at Wang Xu. "Do you have any questions?"
Wang Xu smiled. "No!"
"No questions?" Fang Ya raised her eyebrows slightly with a smile on her face.
Wang Xu shook her head and said, "I don't think it's necessary to understand!"
Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu and found it quite interesting.
Wang Xu had always been frank. If she liked someone, she liked them. If she did not like someone, she did not like them. Everything was shown on the surface.
Ever since the two of them met in the neighborhood committee, Wang Xu's initial attitude toward Fang Ya could have been described as hostile.
But in the process of slowly getting to know each other, Wang Xu gradually discovered that Fang Ya was so capable that could not begin to understand her.
At first, Wang Xu had been jealous of these abilities.
However, as time passed, Wang Xu gradually discovered that Fang Ya's actions were almost always correct. She had shown great foresight, time and again, always proving to be accurate.
Wang Xu was convinced!
From that moment on, Wang Xu decided to follow Fang Ya without any doubt.
Fang Ya could feel the change in Wang Xu, and she knew that everything Wang Xu did was from the bottom of his heart.
She trusted Wang Xu and was willing to share her views with him.
Fang Ya leaned back in her chair and looked ahead. "Whether you can understand it or not, this place will become the center of the city in the future, and it will also be the place with the most development."
"Then..." Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya in surprise. She did not know why Fang Ya was so certain.
Fang Ya ignored Wang Xu's surprise and continued, "I'm only here today to try my luck. What happens after that will depend on the development."
Fang Ya had indeed been a little impulsive about what happened today.
She actually did not know what stage the current development of the real estate market was. In her previous life, she did not even have the ability to buy a house that belonged to her.
However, for some reason, a voice seemed to be calling to her, asking her to go to that place to take a look.
Fang Ya had listened to the voice's guidance and went to that place to do those things.
She had no regrets. She was just curious and looking forward to it.
Wang Xu did not ask any more questions. She just imitated Fang Ya and leaned back in her chair, looking forward.
She did not know what Fang Ya was looking at, or what she saw...
But Wang Xu had a feeling that perhaps it was the mystery of the unknown existence before them that made people yearn for more!
Uncle Chen silently looked at the two from the rearview mirror. He could not help but shake his head and sigh to himself. Nowadays, young people spoke as if they were speaking in a foreign language. He could not understand any of it!
Fang Ya and Wang Xu went home. Not long after, Mingxia also came back.
Wang Xu was about to tease Mingxia when he saw Mingxia cheerfully rush to Wang Xu. Her face was filled with a gossipy smile. "Sister Xu, someone is looking for you!"
Wang Xu looked at the ambiguous smile on Ming Xia's face and immediately realized who was outside the door.
While Mingxia and Fang Ya were laughing, Wang Xu rushed out.
As soon as she arrived at the courtyard entrance, Wang Xu saw Li Tong standing by the car. He was frowning at something with his phone in his hand.
Wang Xu walked up and asked softly, "Why are you here?"
Li Tong had not seemed to notice Wang Xu walking over. He was shocked and quickly put his phone away. "Ah, I'm here to ask if you have time to watch a movie tonight?"
Wang Xu had not expected Li Tong to suddenly invite her. She was stunned for a moment before saying shyly, "I have time."
Li Tong looked at Wang Xu's flushed face and smiled. "Then let's go?"
Wang Xu nodded and then remembered that she needed to inform Fang Ya. She said, "Wait for me!"
Wang Xu ran into the courtyard.
Li Tong looked at Wang Xu's back and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He picked up his phone and frowned again.
"Sister Ya, tonight..." Wang Xu was about to speak when Fang Ya raised her hand to stop her from continuing.
"Go! Don't come back too late. Have Li Tong send you to the door!" Fang Ya did not forget to remind her.
Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya and showed a grateful smile. "Then I'm leaving!"
"Okay! Have fun!" Fang Ya showed her an encouraging smile.
She knew that Wang Xu was still struggling. Wang Xu had not really made up her mind about her relationship with Li Tong.
However, no matter what happened in the future, the most important thing was to cherish the present.
Fang Ya finally understood this after two lifetimes.
Whether it was the past or the future, only the person in front of her was their true self.
We should strive for the future and cherish the present!
Chapter 228: Gifts
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wang Xu and Li Tong went to the newest cinema in the city center.
It contained the latest movies and the best facilities.
Wang Xu rarely went to the cinema to watch movies. Everything was a fresh experience for her.
Li Tong bought the movie tickets and guided Wang Xu to the ticket gate.
There were not many people in the cinema. Wang Xu and Li Tong soon entered the screening room.
Wang Xu stared excitedly at the screen in front of her, holding the popcorn that Li Tong had just bought for her.
Li Tong turned his head to look at the side of Wang Xu's face, and a smile appeared on his face.
Wang Xu was watching a movie very intently, and her eyes had actually lit up as she took in every moment.
Li Tong looked at Wang Xu and the corners of his mouth remained curved. He seemed to have calmed down a lot.
After the movie ended, Wang Xu still looked like she wanted more.
Li Tong looked at the smile on Wang Xu's face and gently reached out to hold Wang Xu's hand.
Wang Xu was shocked. She looked at Li Tong, but she did not struggle.
The two of them walked out of the movie theater holding hands.
They did not let go until they got into the car.
Wang Xu inwardly sighed in relief and watched Li Tong walk toward the driver's seat.
The two of them got into the car. Li Tong took out a small box from the back seat and handed it to Wang Xu.
Wang Xu lowered her head to take a look. It was actually a mobile phone.
She was shocked and hurriedly returned the box to Li Tong. "This won't do. It's too expensive."
Li Tong smiled and said, "This way, it'll be easier for me to find you in the future!"
Wang Xu frowned. It was obvious that this excuse did not sit well with her.
Li Tong thought for a moment and said, "I've already bought this phone. Why don't you keep it and use it? If you haven't changed you mind, then one day... you return it to me?"
Upon hearing Li Tong's words, Wang Xu really did not know whether to be happy or angry.
She thought for a moment and then exhaled. "I really have no way to accept this gift. How about this, I'll buy it from you, okay?"
Li Tong frowned and looked at Wang Xu. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with this suggestion.
Wang Xu smiled and said, "I definitely can't take out so much money at once. I'll return it to you bit by bit. I'll give you a portion every month. This way, we...
Wang Xu said shyly, "We can see each other at least once a month. Is that alright?"
Li Tong's expression finally eased up a lot.
He smiled at Wang Xu and said, "Okay! Then I'll listen to you! Pay me a little each month. This way, we can see each other for a long time, right?"
Hearing Li Tong's words, Wang Xu's face became redder and redder. She lowered her head slightly and nodded.
Li Tong happily grabbed Wang Xu's hand. "It's settled then! I'll give you the phone!"
As Li Tong spoke, he stuffed the phone box into Wang Xu's arms.
Li Tong started the car and drove all the way to Fang Ya's house.
Wang Xu held the phone box in her arms, but her thoughts were constantly changing.
She always felt that there seemed to be a huge gap between her world and Li Tong's world.
This gap was not only limited to money, but there were other things that Wang Xu could not figure out for a moment.
When they arrived at Fang Ya's house, Wang Xu opened the car door and was about to get out.
Li Tong grabbed Wang Xu's hand. "My phone number is in the phone. Remember to call me!"
Wang Xu nodded shyly and rushed out with the phone in her hand.
She ran all the way to the front of the courtyard. Wang Xu did not even dare to look back at Li Tong. She pushed open the gate and went in.
Li Tong looked at Wang Xu, who looked like she was running away, and the smile on his face deepened.
Wang Xu stood in the main hall, panting and trying to calm herself down.
Fang Ya had just walked out of Shao Xiang's room. She had originally wanted to tell Tang Tang a bedtime story, but she did not expect Tang Tang to have fallen asleep.
She saw Wang Xu standing and walked up. "Why are you so flustered?"
When Wang Xu saw that it was Fang Ya, it was as if she had seen her savior.
She pulled Fang Ya's arm and walked all the way into Fang Ya's room.
In a daze, Fang Ya watched as Wang Xu quickly closed the door and placed the things in her arms on Fang Ya's table as if she was a thief.
Fang Ya took a closer look and saw that it was actually the latest model phone.
Fang Ya could not help but tease her. "What? Are you a nighttime robber now? You have good taste!"
Wang Xu heard Fang Ya's teasing and smiled helplessly. "Li Tong insisted that I accept this."
"You don't like it?" Fang Ya asked curiously.
"It's not that I don't like it. I just think it's too valuable!" Wang Xu said bluntly.
"With our current relationship, giving this to me is really... a little too much!" Wang Xu looked troubled.
"You didn't reject him?" Fang Ya clearly knew Wang Xu and Li Tong very well. She knew that Wang Xu would never be able to outsmart Li Tong.
Wang Xu grinned. "He only agreed to let me return some money to him every month to buy it off him!"
"Oh, so it's by installments." Fang Ya nodded in understanding.
"What?" Wang Xu did not understand and looked at Fang Ya in a daze.
"Nothing!" Fang Ya shook her head and continued, "That would work. No loss, no debt, no burden.."

Chapter 229: Frustration
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Wang Xu agreed with Fang Ya, she still frowned. "But... I sometimes feel like we don't live in the same world."
"Then do you want him to enter your world, or do you want him to enter his world?" Fang Ya asked mysteriously.
Wang Xu shook her head. "I haven't thought about it."
"I've never felt that our world is different before!" Wang Xu said seriously.
"But today, I realized that my life and his are completely different," Wang Xu said with some frustration.
"He seems to have gotten used to the things that I find a luxury," Wang Xu said and sighed. "This makes me feel..."
Wang Xu hesitated for a moment before finding a suitable word. "Inferior."
Fang Ya could understand how Wang Xu could feel this way. The feeling of entering a world that did not belong to her, the feeling of uncertainty and even fear while surrounded by an unfamiliar environment.
Fang Ya had also experienced this feeling before. At that time, she had just become Tang Fu's wife.
Although Tang Fu was a nouveau riche, he seemed to be used to such things as pleasure.
Fang Ya was originally a child from a poor family. She had no contact with any actual food, drinks, and entertainment.
When she had just married Tang Fu, Tang Fu had really been very good to her, giving her everything that he could.
It was also during that time that Fang Ya experienced the kind of frustration that Wang Xu had just described.
The fear and helplessness of stepping into an unfamiliar world caused Fang Ya to feel insecure about herself for a very long time.
Her lack of confidence and all the negativity towards herself had all started from that moment.
Thinking of herself at that time, Fang Ya suddenly felt that she had to help Wang Xu and keep her away from that deep, dark well!
Fang Ya gently held Wang Xu's hand and said, "You are still young. What you have come into contact with is only the tip of the iceberg."
"We all have to face the vast world in its full magnitude at some point," Fang Ya said as she looked into Wang Xu's eyes seriously.
"What Li Tong has brought you now is just another slice of the world. You still need to use your own eyes to see and feel with your heart..." Fang Ya said as she gently shook Wang Xu's hand.
"You will witness a wider world. It would be more shocking than what you are seeing now!" Fang Ya said sincerely.
Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya with a half-understanding look, as if she was trying to digest those words.
Fang Ya knew that Wang Xu could not accept this idea at the moment, so she tried her best to make Wang Xu relax.
"If you want to continue walking by Li Tong's side, you have to step into each other's world and accept the pieces in each other's world for what they are," Fang Ya persuaded her patiently.
Wang Xu nodded and said, "I know that, but I'm afraid that I can't accept them!"
Fang Ya smiled and said, "If you really can't, it's up to you to discuss it with him and make compromises..."
"If neither of you can compromise, then you've actually already made plans for the final outcome, haven't you?" Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu and saw through her thoughts.
Wang Xu thought for a while and then nodded. "Sister Ya, you're right. I have already made up my mind. If I really can't accept the other party, the worst that can happen is that we break up!"
"I don't know why I'm suddenly so melancholic..." Wang Xu smiled as if she was mocking herself.
Fang Ya shook her head and said, "You're not being melancholic. You're just temporarily trapped by your own thoughts.
"You can get a divorce even if you're married. In your current state, your happiness is the most important!" Fang Ya gave her heartfelt advice.
Wang Xu nodded heavily and held Fang Ya's hand tightly. "Sister Ya, I sometimes think that you're like an enlightened sage. Every time I have a problem, you immediately resolve it!"
Fang Ya frowned and looked at Wang Xu a little discontentedly. "Then are you saying that I should shave my head and cultivate?"
Wang Xu quickly waved her hand and shook her head desperately. "No, no, no! You mustn't!"
"Tang Tang may able able to cry with me every day, but brother-in-law will send people to kill me!" Wang Xu looked scared.
Fang Ya snorted. "He's a policeman, not a gangster!"
Wang Xu chuckled. "Hehe, he's a double-agent!"
After chatting with Fang Ya for a while, Wang Xu returned to her room.
After Fang Ya washed up, she lay on the bed.
Fang Ya was growing more and more confused about Li Tong's background.
According to He Feng, Li Tong had come from an ordinary family. How did he have such a rich family background?
How could he give away such a new phone so easily?
Fang Ya was not jealous, she was just confused..
Fang Ya did not sleep well the whole night. The next morning, she woke up with dark rings around her eyes.
Wang Xu looked guilty when she saw Fang Ya.. "Sister Ya, did you lose sleep because of me?"
Chapter 230: Chu Qi Was Beaten
Looking at Wang Xu's apologetic face, Fang Ya smiled and shook her head. "Of course not. I was just thinking about something. I didn't sleep well!"
Shao Xiang looked at Fang Ya worriedly. "Are you alright? Why do you look so tired?"
Fang Ya smiled at Shao Xiang placatingly. "It's nothing. I'll be fine after resting for a while."
Shao Xiang was still worried. She instructed Mingxia to make some nourishing soup for Fang Ya.
Although Fang Ya was sheepish about it, she did not reject Shao Xiang's good intentions.
Since she was sleep-deprived, Fang Ya did not plan to go out, so she decided to rest at home.
Just as she was about to lean back on her seat, she heard a commotion outside the house.
Fang Ya pushed the door open and saw Shao Xiang and Wang Xu also looking outside.
Mingxia was already peeking out from the door, wanting to see what was going on.
Wang Xu saw Mingxia shrink back and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mingxia walked quickly to the center of the hall and spoke to them. "It seems that something has happened to the boy from the Chu family."
Upon hearing that it was the boy of the Chu family, Fang Ya remembered going to the Chu family to look for him a few days ago. She had been so busy these few days that she had forgotten about it.
"Do you know what happened?" Fang Ya asked worriedly.
"I heard that he was beaten up by someone!" Mingxia said vaguely. "I only heard a shadow. I think the large woman was there. I'll go and ask her later."
Fang Ya nodded. She was not interested in participating in the chattering.
About two hours later, the commotion finally stopped.
Fang Ya went to the large woman's house. She wanted to ask about the whole situation, but she found Chu Qi's mother sitting in her courtyard, wiping her tears.
Fang Ya walked in and greeted the large woman. "What's going on?"
Chu Qi's mother looked up at Fang Ya in a daze.
The large woman was quick to introduce them, "This is Fang Ya. I told you about her the last time!"
Chu Qi's mother replied with an "Oh." She stood up and greeted Fang Ya.
Fang Ya smiled and supported Chu Qi's mother to sit down.
Chu Qi's mother sat down again, but her tears would not stop flowing down.
"I just heard a commotion outside. I don't know what happened," Fang Ya looked at the large woman and asked again.
"Well, Chu Qi was beaten up!" The large woman said and sighed again.
"Who beat him up? How did this happen?" Fang Ya frowned, clearly confused by this situation.
Although this society could not exactly be called a society ruled by law, how could indiscriminate beatings happen for no reason?
"That boy was disobedient and insisted on giving investment advice to others," Chu Qi's mother said with an aggrieved look.
"If he's not interested in taking your advice, give it up. The boy still insisted on pushing his beliefs upon others," Chu Qi's mother said as tears flowed down her face.
"Great, just great. He was messing with people's livelihoods. Of course people would lose control if you keep yapping about it in their faces!" Chu Qi's mother could not help but cover her face with her hands,
Fang Ya finally understood. Chu Qi was giving others some advice on investments and was beaten up for his trouble.
However, it seemed that Chu Qi had hit something on the mark. Otherwise, the other party would only have to wait for the truth to be verified. There was no need to get angry and strike.
Fang Ya thought to herself and asked, "How is Chu Qi Now?"
Chu Qi's mother wiped the tears from her face and said, "The new doctor in the clinic bandaged him up. He's resting now."
The large woman echoed, "I saw that Chu Qi's mother was having a really hard time, so I called her over to chat and ease her mood."
Chu Qi's mother looked at the large woman gratefully. "If it weren't for her, I really wouldn't know what to do now!"
The large woman hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't say that! We're all neighbors. It's nothing!"
Fang Ya asked for more details and only then did she know that the group of people had blocked the Chu family's front door and wanted to cause trouble.
If not for the large woman who happened to pass by and call for help, the group of people could have done worse other than simply beat up Chu Qi.
The large woman's warm heart was known by everyone within a hundred miles.
Fang Ya looked at the large woman's round face and smiled. Being able to know this person in her second life was probably the beginning of her life's happiness!
After chatting for a while and knowing that Chu Qi was injured, Fang Ya decided not to visit the Chu family just yet.
After all, they were not familiar with each other, so it would seem a little deliberate to visit her at this time.
Chu Qi also had a somewhat arrogant personality. If it was rather apparent that Fang Ya was only there to ask for a favor, she would be quickly turned away.
When Fang Ya came back from the large woman's house, she saw three women sitting in the courtyard, looking at her with eager eyes.
They looked so hungry for gossip that Fang Ya laughed out loud..
