Chapter 199 - The Second Brother Shao Qiang
Chapter 199: The Second Brother Shao Qiang
Fang Ya and Shao Xiang looked at each other and thought that the woman was a little odd.
The two of them waited quietly. After a while, the door opened again and a man with white hair walked out.
The man sized up Shao Xiang and Fang Ya before asking, “Who are you two to Shao Qiang?”
Shao Xiang took a step forward and said, “I’m his sister.”
“Younger sister? I’ve never heard of him having a younger sister!” The man frowned, looking incredulous.
Shao Xiang hurriedly explained, “I ran from home when I was young. My name is Shao Xiang. You should ask him. He should remember me!”
The man still looked at Shao Xiang suspiciously. He thought for a moment before saying, “Stay here.”
The door closed once again in front of Shao Xiang and Fang Ya.
“Why is this old man so strange and rude!?” Tang Tang could not help but mutter.
Fang Ya also found this place a little strange, but she could not tell exactly how or why.
Fang Ya gently held Shao Xiang’s arm. She could feel her nervousness.
She laid a hand on Shao Xiang’s shoulder, trying to calm her down.
Shao Xiang turned to look at Fang Ya with a hint of panic in her eyes. “He shouldn’t be in trouble, right?”
Shao Xiang’s gaze turned nervous.
Fang Ya gently shook her head, but she had no answer.
The three of them waited for a while before the door in front of them slowly opened.
The white-haired man walked out again. “Come in with me.”
The three of them followed behind the man and entered.
There was a different world inside this door.
They walked through the front hall and came to a courtyard.
The courtyard was about 30 to 40 square meters.
A circle of buildings surrounded the courtyard. Each building was divided into two floors and had three to four rooms.
Standing in the courtyard, one could take in the open air and the magnitude of its scale.
A few fitness and rehabilitation facilities had been built in the courtyard. It looked like a formal rehabilitation and physical therapy institution.
Fang Ya was a little surprised to find such a place here.
She followed the man all the way to the innermost individual building.
The man pushed open a wooden door on the first floor and guided the three of them in.
Fang Ya and Shao Xiang looked at each other, held Tang Tang’s hand tightly, and walked in.
As soon as they entered the room, Fang Ya noticed that it was a simple office.
A man was looking at them coldly from behind the desk.
Fang Ya looked at Shao Xiang inquisitively.
Shao Xiang looked at the man carefully, and after a long time, she called out softly, “Second Brother?”
Fang Ya looked at the man, having already half-guessed his identity the moment they entered.
The man’s eyes were fixed on Shao Xiang, as if he was trying to identify something.
After a long time, the man replied. “Sister?”
When Shao Xiang heard him speak, tears instantly flowed down her face.
She had wanted to hear this all these years, and it was also the dream that she had been unable to realize all these years.
She excitedly took a few steps forward, wanting to reconcile with her family.
Shao Qiang moved out from behind the office desk, revealing a wheelchair.
Shao Xiang looked at Shao Qiang sitting in the wheelchair, and her tears flowed even more.
“This, how could this be?” Shao Xiang looked at Shao Qiang’s appearance and wanted to reach out to him, but she did not know what to do.
Shao Qiang lowered his head to look at his already shrunken legs and smiled slightly. “It’s been many years. I’m used to it.”
Shao Xiang looked at Shao Qiang with heartache. “How did it end up like this?”
Shao Qiang slowly came in front of Shao Xiang and the others and said, “Sit down and talk.”
Fang Ya helped Shao Xiang to the sofa at the side and sat down.
Tang Tang obediently sat at the side and looked at Shao Qiang curiously.
Shao Qiang looked at Fang Ya and then looked at Tang Tang. “This is?”
Shao Xiang looked at Fang Ya and Tang Tang and smiled. “My daughter and granddaughter.”
“Good! Very good!” Shao Qiang’s lips curled into a smile.
“Second brother, how are you?” Shao Xiang wanted to say something more but hesitated.
Shao Qiang shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “I was originally married. In less than two years, something happened to me and my wife fled.
“However, I don’t blame her. After all, who would stay with a cripple for a lifetime?” Shao Qiang’s face was bitter and helpless.
“Then, don’t you have children?” Shao Xiang continued to ask.
Shao Qiang shook his head and said, “I’m not that Lucky.”
“Let’s not talk about me anymore. Where have you been all these years? Have you been well?”
Shao Qiang looked at Shao Xiang’s flushed face and asked, “This is between you and…”
Shao Xiang hurriedly interrupted, “I had a son with him. A few years later, he left.”
“This is my late husband’s daughter. She treats me like her own mother.” Shao Xiang quickly introduced Fang Ya.
Shao Qiang looked at Fang Ya in surprise, then smiled in relief, “It’s rare, it’s rare!”
Fang Ya smiled at Shao Qiang and said, “Mom treats me very well. It’s only right for me to do all this!”
Shao Xiang smiled and held Fang Ya’s hand tightly.
Shao Qiang looked at the two of them with envy in his eyes.
