Fang Ya still went to work every day at the government office. After work, she would bring home items based on the shopping list that He Feng’s aunt had prepared.
She also took great pains to teach Fang Ya how to make different things every day.
Although sometimes the food did not taste very good, He Feng was very supportive and always accepted everything.
Fang Ya was grateful to He Feng for this. After all, without He Feng, many ingredients would have gone to waste.
That day, Fang Ya and the others went out. Only Shao Xiang and He Fen’s aunt were left at home.
Shao Xiang walked to the sofa and looked at the other woman who was sitting on the sofa calmly. Finally, she voiced out the puzzlement in her heart, “Why did you come here?”
Her aunt ignored Shao Xiang and just sat there quietly. She closed her eyes and did not want to speak.
Shao Xiang sighed and sat on the sofa on the other side. She asked her aunt, “If you came here to separate the two of them, that would be really unnecessary.
“These two children are good children. They are kind-hearted. They will definitely be happy when they are together!” Shao Xiang said softly.
She still did not speak. Although her eyes were closed, they were slightly quivering.
Shao Xiang knew that she was listening, so she continued, “Do you know that I am Fang Ya’s stepmother?”
Shao Xiang’s words successfully opened the woman’s eyes.
She looked at Shao Xiang with some confusion. She had not expected Fang Ya and Shao Xiang to have such a relationship.
“You can’t tell, right? Because she has always been taking care of me like a biological daughter,” Shao Xiang said with a smile.
“It was not always this smooth. This is all because of me…” Shao Xiang said slowly, as if she was immersed in the memories of the past.
As her aunt listened to Shao Xiang recount all the things about Fang Ya, her original resistance slowly turned into intent listening.
Shao Xiang knew that this woman was not a completely unreasonable person, so she told her of some of the incidents that Lu Ping had caused trouble at home previously.
As her aunt listened to Shao Xiang’s narration, she knew that Lu Ping was indeed capable of doing those things.
However, this did not mean that she could acknowledge Fang Ya as a qualified wife for He Feng.
“I’m not forcing you to accept Fang Ya right now,” Shao Xiang said earnestly.
“Just like what Fang Ya said, I hope you can give each other some time,” Shao Xiang said and looked at her sincerely. “You’ll find that she’s good.”
Her aunt frowned slightly as if she was still hesitating.
After saying that, Shao Xiang stood up and smiled at her. “That’s all I have to say. I’ll leave you to it.”
Shao Xiang did not wait for a response. She turned around and left.
That night, Fang Ya bought ingredients from the market. She did not see He Feng’s aunt when she entered.
Fang Ya walked to the kitchen curiously and asked Mingxia, who was busy, “Where is she?”
Mingxia shook her head and said, “I don’t know! When I came back today, she was in her room.”
“I called her a few times, but she didn’t come out.” Mingxia waved the kitchen knife in her hand and said without turning her head.
“Is she not feeling well?” Fang Ya asked worriedly.
“I don’t think so!” Mingxia said uncertainly, “I don’t dare to go into her room either.”
Fang Ya put down her things and said, “I’ll go and have a look.” Then she pushed open the door of the house and went to the suite on the opposite side.
After opening the door, Fang Ya rushed straight He Feng’s aunt’s room and knocked on the door gently. She called out, “Aunt, are you awake?”
There was no response from the room.
Fang Ya’s heart tensed up. She thought that something had happened to her and immediately knocked on the door heavily. “Aunt, are you okay? Can I come in?”
There was still no sound in the room.
Fang Ya immediately turned the doorknob, pushed the door open and walked in.
