Fang Ya heard Tang Tang’s words and glanced at Mingxia wordlessly.
Han Qiao heard Tang Tang’s words and frowned. “Even if Tang Tang picked it up, she never mentioned anything about having something that’s not hers!”
Hearing Han Qiao’s words, Fang Ya sighed helplessly. “I know how to handle this matter. Since the ring is with you, keep it well. Don’t lose it again.”
After saying that, Fang Ya said to Mingxia, “Mingxia, come with me.”
Mingxia followed behind Fang Ya submissively and they walked towards Fang Ya’s room.
Han Qiao looked at Mingxia’s back and silently cursed something before turning around and leaving.
Shao Xiang could not help but sigh when she saw that the farce had finally ended.
Fang Ya walked into the room and let Tang Tang play by herself.
She turned to face Mingxia.
Mingxia was startled by Fang Ya’s cold expression and took a step back guiltily.
“Mingxia, I thought you really didn’t want to accept your fate and came here to fight to stand on your own two feet.” Fang Ya’s tone was somewhat disappointed.
Mingxia’s face was full of grievance. She wanted to argue but did not know how to say it.
Fang Ya sighed and said, “You were introduced by a friend. I won’t tell her about this, but I can’t keep you around.”
Upon hearing Fang Ya’s words, Ming Xia fell to her knees with a thud. “Sister! You can’t chase me away! I have nowhere else to go!”
Fang Ya shook her head and said, “I can take you in, but I can’t tolerate you stealing!”
Mingxia grabbed Fang Ya’s hand and refused to let go. “I wouldn’t dare to anymore! Sister! I really don’t dare to anymore!”
“I didn’t take it on purpose! I just… just…” Mingxia said, her face full of grief.
Fang Ya knew that she had just been greedy for a moment.
But once such greed rears its head once, the allure would come again with twice as much poison, and she would fall to it.
Even if Fang Ya threw Mingxia out, the girl would be left with new demons of her own.
Fang Ya knew what Mingxia was thinking, and she also knew that Mingxia needed a chance.
However, Fang Ya could not let her off so easily, or else she might not remember this lesson.
Tang Tang looked at Mingxia kneeling on the ground, walked forward, and pulled on Fang Ya’s clothes. “Mom, it wasn’t Aunt Mingxia who took the ring, it was me who took it. Can you not punish her?”
Tang Tang’s tender voice sounded like she was blaming herself.
Fang Ya said to Tang Tang, “Tang Tang, do you know that no matter what you pick up, you have to give it to the owner?”
“You can’t give it to whoever you think it belongs to. Do you understand?” Fang Ya took the opportunity to teach Tang Tang a lesson.
“Moreover, when you put the ring in Aunt Mingxia’s room, you didn’t greet her, did you?” Fang Ya continued.
“It’s wrong to enter and leave other people’s rooms without saying hello, do you understand?” Fang Ya looked at Tang Tang and said seriously.
Tang Tang lowered her head slightly and answered, “Mom, I know I’m wrong.”
Fang Ya gently pulled Tang Tang into her arms. “Good girl. Remember this lesson.”
Fang Ya turned to look at Mingxia again. “It’s not up to me to forgive you this time. You can only go to Han Qiao and ask her to forgive you.
“If she doesn’t want to forgive you, I can’t keep you here,” Fang Ya said mercilessly.
When Mingxia heard that, although she was a little conflicted, she understood that Fang Ya had at least given her a way out.
Mingxia nodded heavily and quickly stood up. “I understand! I’ll go find sister Han now!”
Mingxia came to Shao Xiang and Han Qiao’s area of the house and knocked on the door.
Shao Xiang came to open the door. When she saw that it was Mingxia, she moved away slightly and let Mingxia come in. “Come in.”
Han Qiao was sitting on the bed sulking. When she saw Mingxia come in, her expression became even uglier. “Who let you in!”
Mingxia faced Han Qiao and twisted the corner of her clothes with both hands. “Sister Han, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have hidden your things.”
“Although I didn’t know it was yours, it was not good to hide your things.” Mingxia recounted her mistakes carefully.
Shao Xiang sat at the side and looked at the two young women quietly. A gratified smile appeared on her face.
