Chapter 202: Han Qiao’s Deceit

Fang Ya was a little surprised by Han Qiao’s reaction and frowned even deeper. “I’m not trying to control you, it’s just…”

“It’s fine as long as you don’t want to control me!” Han Qiao waved her hand impatiently. “I’m tired, I want to go back and rest!”

Seeing this, Fang Ya took two steps forward to block Han Qiao. “Look here! You’re living in my house now, I can’t let you mess around!”

Han Qiao’s expression turned cold. “Don’t think that you can order me around just because you’re Wu Wei’s sister!”

“You don’t even care about him anymore! What right do you have to care about me!” Han Qiao practically roared at Fang Ya.

Fang Ya was stunned for a moment, as if she knew the reason why Han Qiao had such an attitude.

Fang Ya thought for a moment before saying, “It’s not that I don’t care about Wu Wei anymore, it’s just that I haven’t made any further progress.”

“I just took mom to her hometown for a walk, it’s not that I wasn’t coming back!” Fang Ya tried her best to explain.

However, Han Qiao was not having any of it. “What does it have to do with me what you guys want to do!”

Fang Ya sighed and said, “Calm down and let’s have a good talk, Alright?”

“I don’t want to talk! Alright? I’m tired and I want to sleep.” As Han Qiao said that, she was about to enter the room.

Wang Xu walked out of the room. When she saw the tension between the two of them, she silently retreated.

Fang Ya grabbed Han Qiao’s hand and dragged her into her own room, ignoring her struggles.

“Sit down! I have something to tell you!” Fang Ya was no longer gentle. She spoke sternly.

Han Qiao was shocked by Fang Ya’s imposing manner. She had never seen this side of her.

Fang Ya poured a glass of water for Han Qiao and said, “Wu Wei is now locked inside. I know you’re anxious, but you can’t ignore your own health.”

“I don’t know what you are doing at night, but if you continue to play around, you’ll only hurt yourself!” Fang Ya looked at Han Qiao and said seriously.

Han Qiao seemed to be struggling with something. After a long while, she sighed. “I’m not fooling around at night!”

“Then you are…” Fang Ya looked at Han Qiao in surprise.

“I know you are very rich, but I’m not!” Han Qiao looked at Fang Ya, her eyes slightly red.

“I want to save Wu Wei, but I don’t have the ability!” Han Qiao said with some frustration.

“It’s not that I don’t want to work in that mall, but the salary is really too low.” Han Qiao’s face was already streaked with tears.

“I just want to earn more money. When Wu Wei comes out, I’ll be able to live like you…” Han Qiao gritted her teeth. “It doesn’t matter if I’m stooping down a little to earn it. I’ll be able to live a good life.”

When Fang Ya heard Han Qiao’s words, the expression on her face gradually softened. “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you!”

Han Qiao shook her head and continued, “I don’t know what else to do.”

“My friend said that I can earn money by selling alcohol at the bar. It’s decent money!” As Han Qiao said that, she showed the money in her pocket to Fang Ya.

Fang Ya looked at the few hundred-dollar bills in Han Qiao’s hand and felt her heart ache.

She gently grabbed Han Qiao’s hand and said, “Don’t do these things anymore.”

“After a while, I’ll call you over to help out at the shops, okay?” Fang Ya looked at Han Qiao and asked seriously.

Han Qiao wiped away her tears and said, “The way I am right now is pretty good, actually!”

Fang Ya shook her head and said, “Listen to me. Wait for a while more.”

Han Qiao gritted her teeth and thought for a moment before saying, “Okay! I’ll listen to you!”

Fang Ya nodded and finally let go of the stone in her heart.

Fang Ya sent Han Qiao back to her room. When she saw Wang Xu poking her head out of her room, she waved at her.

Wang Xu followed Fang Ya to Fang Ya’s room.

After listening to Fang Ya’s narration, Wang Xu frowned. “Why do I feel like she’s trying to guilt-trip you into employing her?”

Fang Ya shrugged noncommittally. “No matter what her motive is, I can’t let Wu Wei’s wife do these things.”

Looking at Fang Ya’s determined expression, Wang Xu thought that she looked particularly noble.

Even so, she was still a little worried. “Sister Ya, what if she’s just taking advantage of you?”

Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu oddly. “Why would you think so?”

“I don’t know either. I just think that she’s behaving strangely.” Wang Xu frowned, unable to tell where the unease in her heart was coming from.

Fang Ya gazed at Wang Xu and said, “I got it. I’ll be careful!”

After Wang Xu’s reminder, Fang Ya paid more attention to Han Qiao’s words and actions. She also noticed some of her strange behavior.

Ever since Fang Ya and Shao Xiang returned to their hometown, she had been thinking about how to help Shao Qiang’s sanatorium gain more support from the government.

If Shao Qiang was the only one holding up the fort, how long could they last?

What would happen to it without him?
