Shao Hua thought for a while before saying, “How about this? We’ll meet at Ping An Street in a while. I’ll tell you the details.”

After he hung up, Fang Ya leaned against He Feng nervously. “Will something happen to mom?”

He Feng did not answer immediately. He only thought for a while before saying, “It shouldn’t be anything of that sort. We just don’t know yet.”

It was not unreasonable for He Feng to think that way.

After all, Shao Xiang did not have any grudges with anyone, nor did she hold any special status. She did not have much money, so there should not be any mishaps.

However, they had not been able to contact Shao Xiang, so it was normal for Fang Ya to get worried.

At the agreed time, He Feng accompanied Fang Ya to Ping An Street.

This was an old neighborhood. The old bungalows were dilapidated. Due to the industrialization reform, most of the residents had already moved away.

Fang Ya and He Feng went to the address given by Shao Hua and found the old shop he mentioned.

They stood outside the door. Fang Ya peered into the pitch-black shop in front of her with some confusion.

He Feng did not hesitate. He walked forward and gently knocked on the door of the shop.

The door opened and a man walked out. He looked somewhat similar to Shao Xiang.

“You are… Fang Ya?” The man looked at Fang Ya and asked, but his tone was firm.

Fang Ya nodded and then asked, “Are you… my uncle?”

Shao Hua nodded and moved aside to let the two into the shop.

This was an old shop. It originally served dim sum, and it was one of the best on this street.

Now, it was only an empty storefront. It was no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

Fang Ya and He Feng followed Shao Hua inside.

Shao Hua held a flashlight and led the two to the inner room. Only then did they find the electric switch box and flip it.

The inner room instantly became bright. Fang Ya was momentarily blinded and covered her eyes with her hand.

He Feng tried hard to blink his eyes, trying to quickly adapt to the changes in the light.

When the two of them got used to it, they saw an interior decorated like a restaurant in front of them.

Shao Hua poured water for the two of them and sat down at the table.

Fang Ya and He Feng looked at each other, then walked to the table and sat down.

Shao Hua looked at Fang Ya and looked her up and down before nodding. “You are just the way your mother described you.”

Fang Ya was anxious, so she asked, “Where is my mother now?”

Shao Hua took a deep breath and said, “She asked me to tell you this.”

Fang Ya heard Shao Hua’s tone and felt that something was not right.

Shao Hua continued, “Your mother said that she has been through too much and has been very tired recently, so she wants to find a place to rest quietly.”

Fang Ya felt that something was not right, but she could not put her finger on it.

“Why would my mother leave without saying goodbye to us?” Fang Ya shook her head and did not believe Shao Hua’s words.

Shao Hua smiled and did not seem bothered about Fang Ya’s doubts. “It’s okay. It’s okay if you don’t believe me.”

“Let’s wait for tomorrow. She’ll naturally contact you when she gets there,” Shao Hua said confidently.

Fang Ya frowned. It was obvious that she was suspicious of Shao Hua.

Shao Hua did not seem to be concerned about her attitude. He only said, “It’s okay. If you’re worried, just come and look for me tomorrow.”

“I’ll be right here!” Shao Hua made a promise.

Fang Ya looked at Shao Hua in confusion. “When we went back to our hometown, they clearly said that you were here to send your son to school!”

Shao Hua smiled. “Yes! My son has gone to school. Naturally, I have to find something to do, right?”

“Moreover, this shop was originally mine….” Shao Hua continued, “I gave it to someone else, but I didn’t expect it to become like this.”
