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..
