Chapter 249 - Negotiations

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wang Xu had planned to wait for Fang Ya’s return.

In the end, after sitting on the sofa for less than ten minutes, her parents started roaming about the house.

The two of them walked all over the house and touched everything and surveyed it as if they were strolling around their own home.

Wang Xu and Mingxia were nervous, afraid that the two of them would break something.

This was Fang Ya’s home.

This place completely belonged to Fang Ya. Other than valuables, some items were of a sentimental nature. If they broke them…

Wang Xu wanted to stop them, but her parents did not care.

Wang Xu was helpless. She could only pull her parents back to the common area.

After Wang Xu’s parents left, Mingxia hurriedly checked the integrity of each item, afraid that something had been damaged.

After Mingxia briefly explained the situation to Fang Ya, Fang Ya pondered for a moment and decided to go and see what was going on.

She gently knocked on the door, and Fang Ya waited until Wang Xu came to watch the door before walking in.

The two of them exchanged a look, and a smile appeared on Fang Ya’s lips.

Wang Xu seemed to be relieved as well. She moved aside and let Fang Ya walk into the living room.

At that moment, Wang Xu’s parents were still sitting on the sofa eating melon seeds and spitting out the skin.

Fang Ya’s expression did not change. It was as if she was already used to such a scene.

She smiled and greeted Wang Xu’s parents.

Wang Xu’s parents glanced at Fang Ya before they slowly stood up and greeted her.

Without waiting for Fang Ya to speak, the two of them sat down again.

Wang Xu’s expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Fang Ya stopped her.

Fang Ya smiled as she sat on the sofa at the side. Seeing that the two of them were still munching on melon seeds, she smiled and asked, “The two of you are here to visit Wang Xu today?”

Wang Xu’s father snorted as if he did not intend to pay any attention to Fang Ya.

Wang Xu’s mother opened her mouth and said, “We’re going to bring her back today!”

Hearing that, Wang Xu directly shot back, “I’m not going back!”

“That’s not up to you!” Wang Xu’s father growled in a low voice.

Wang Xu wanted to argue again, but Fang Ya stopped her. “What are you two going to do after bringing Wang Xu back?”

“Of course, we’re going to let her get married!” Wang Xu’s mother said matter-of-factly.

“If she doesn’t get married, who will support her for the rest of her life? Do you want to rely on us for the rest of our lives?” Wang Xu’s mother asked with slight dissatisfaction.

Fang Ya glanced at Wang Xu. Seeing Wang Xu’s aggrieved and helpless expression, she said, “Wang Xu has the ability to support herself!”

“Ability? What ability?”Wang Xu’s father was skeptical.

“Up until now, she doesn’t even have a proper job! What’s the use of her ability!” Wang Xu’s father became angrier the more he spoke.

Fang Ya took a deep breath to prevent herself from speaking impulsively.

She paused for a moment before continuing, “Wang Xu is now by my side. She’s proven herself capable. You two elders can rest assured.”

“By your side? Capable? How much money did you give her?” Wang Xu’s father asked straightforwardly.

Wang Xu was startled when she heard that and quickly stopped him. “Dad! What are you talking about!”

“Is there a problem with me asking this?” Wang Xu’s father questioned Wang Xu as if it was a matter of course. “If she’s your employer, you should be getting paid!

“Is it wrong for me to ask?” Wang Xu’s father’s tone only rose.

Fang Ya smiled and said, “That’s true!”

“Currently, because the project is still in the preliminary stage of preparation, we actually…” Fang Ya wanted to explain the situation to Wang Xu’s parents.

“Don’t talk about those useless things. I’m asking you how much money you can give her!” Wang Xu’s father refused to back down.

Fang Ya looked up at Wang Xu and said, “How much do you think I should give her?”

Since her parents needed an accurate figure, they must have a certain evaluation of their own daughter.

Wang Xu’s father did not expect Fang Ya to throw the question back at him, so he was stumped.

“This… aren’t you the one giving my daughter money? Of course, I want to hear what you have to say!” Wang Xu’s father hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

Fang Ya nodded slightly. She finally understood what Wang Xu’s father meant and said, “Wang Xu is by my side, so I naturally won’t let her down.

“But now everything remains to be seen. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to confirm this salary for the time being!” Fang Ya answered truthfully.

Wang Xu knew that Fang Ya was in a difficult position, and she looked apologetic.

She had always lived a good life here.

Although Fang Ya never paid her yet, she had never been short of her expenses.

Every time she went out to buy something or do something, Fang Ya would always give her some allowance.

In addition to the pocket money that she gave them every month, Wang Xu could have received even more money than the average wage earner every month.

However, Wang Xu could not tell her parents about this.

Based on her understanding of her parents, if she said this, they would only assume the worst!

Although Wang Xu felt guilty, she did not say anything.

However, her parents were certain that Fang Ya was not paying her anything, and the expression on their faces turned even uglier..
