49 Family Conflict
Fang Yuan sighed and turned to look at the closed door of the piano room. âWe still have to keep an eye on him. Iâm still worried about Fang Yao.â
âThatâs enough. Donât you know if our son is good at studying?â Wei Lan pulled Fang Yuan downstairs. She thought of the scene of Yuan Xiao and Fang Yao playing the piano together and felt that it was wonderful.
âIâm quite satisfied with that little girl. From what Ah Ming said, Ah Yao might not have wooed her yet. Shouldnât we help our son?â
Seeing Wei Lanâs excited expression, Fang Yuan shook his head and said helplessly, âOther parents are worried about their children falling in love at a young age. Youâre afraid that your son wonât be able to get a daughter-in-law?â
âOur son will be 18 next year. Iâm not that old-fashioned. How this is early? Besides, itâs better to choose a daughter-in-law whoâs pleasing to the eye than to bring back an annoying one.â
Wei Lan felt that Yuan Xiao was in line with her imagination of her future daughter-in-law. She was obedient, sensible, and more opinionated. She could control her son.
âI think the Yue familyâs youngest daughter is not bad. I originally wanted to introduce her to Ah Ming when sheâs older, but Ah Ming has never planned to get married. It would be good if she could be with Ah Yao. Sheâs more suitable in terms of age.â
When Wei Lan heard Fang Yuanâs words, she frowned unhappily. âAlright, stop using my son to maintain your relationship in the business world.â
âItâs not for the sake of marriage. I really think that child is not bad. Wouldnât it be better to find someone of equal social status? After all, that child has already left the Yuan Family. I heard that her parents are now from poor families. Sheâs really not compatible with our Fang Family.â
Fang Yuan noticed that Wei Lanâs expression was getting darker and darker. He added worriedly, âI was just saying. You donât have to tell Ah Yao.â
âTell Ah Yao? Arenât you afraid that your son will cut ties with you?â
Wei Lan pursed her lips. âDonât be so old-fashioned. What era are we in now? You still care about family backgrounds. Donât make things difficult for your son. As parents, we should hope that our child can live happily.â
Fang Yuan also nodded. The reason why he had always let Fang Yao live freely was because he hoped that Fang Yao could live as he pleased.
Fang Yuan only had two sons. Although his elder son, Fang Ming, was outstanding, he was focused on medical research. Fang Yuan could not stop him from making his own choice, but the Fang familyâs business needed someone to inherit it. He was still young, but he needed the help of his two sons in the future.
Although Fang Yuan did not say it, Fang Yao took it very seriously. He hoped that he could inherit the family business that he had built with his own hands in the future. If he married a wife of equal social status, although Fang Yaoâs future career would be helpful, Fang Yuan did not want his son to be unhappy.
Yuan Xiao and Fang Yao practiced for a long time until Wei Lan called them down for dinner. Only then did they walk out of the piano room.
âXiao Xiao, Auntie thinks that your talent is not bad. Are you interested in learning from Auntie?â Wei Lan looked at Yuan Xiao, her eyes filled with love.
âSure, I heard from Fang Yao that youâre a very famous pianist. Itâs my honor to be able to learn from you.â Yuan Xiao felt that Wei Lan in front of her had a very friendly feeling, so her attitude towards her was especially enthusiastic.
âReally?â Hearing Yuan Xiaoâs words, Wei Lanâs eyes were filled with surprise.
She thought that Fang Yao rarely mentioned her in front of his friends. It seemed that she was still very important to her son.
âJust let Yuan Xiao learn from me.â Fang Yao did not know why Yuan Xiao said that, but when he saw his motherâs happy expression, he did not refute. He just did not want anyone other than himself to teach Yuan Xiao how to play the piano.
Wei Lan was a little dissatisfied, but seeing that her son was very concerned about Yuan Xiao, she did not say anything else.
At Wei Lanâs request, the Fang Family had prepared a sumptuous meal. Yuan Xiao paid attention to etiquette, but the enthusiasm of the Fang Family surprised her.
Fang Yao had a rebellious personality and usually acted like he was keeping strangers away. Originally, Yuan Xiao thought that it was because Fang Yaoâs parents were too strict with him that Fang Yao became more and more rebellious.
However, looking at the smiling Wei Lan in front of her, Yuan Xiao did not understand. Fang Yaoâs parents looked very open-minded, but why was Fang Yao not close to them? Perhaps there was a misunderstanding between them?
âAh Yao, if you want to study at University A, I can find you a tutor. I know a few professors at University A. You can visit them with me tomorrow.â
