Novel Bin Chapter 49 - 49 Family Conflict
“That’s enough. Don’t you know if our son is good at studying?” 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.
“I’m quite satisfied with that little girl. From what Ah Ming said, Ah Yao might not have wooed her yet. Shouldn’t we help our son?”
Seeing Wei Lan’s excited expression, Fang Yuan shook his head and said helplessly, “Other parents are worried about their children falling in love at a young age. You’re afraid that your son won’t be able to get a daughter-in-law?”
“Our son will be 18 next year. I’m not that old-fashioned. How this is early? Besides, it’s better to choose a daughter-in-law who’s pleasing to the eye than to bring back an annoying one.”
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.
“I think the Yue family’s youngest daughter is not bad. I originally wanted to introduce her to Ah Ming when she’s older, but Ah Ming has never planned to get married. It would be good if she could be with Ah Yao. She’s more suitable in terms of age.”
When Wei Lan heard Fang Yuan’s words, she frowned unhappily. “Alright, stop using my son to maintain your relationship in the business world.”
“It’s not for the sake of marriage. I really think that child is not bad. Wouldn’t 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. She’s really not compatible with our Fang Family.”
Fang Yuan noticed that Wei Lan’s expression was getting darker and darker. He added worriedly, “I was just saying. You don’t have to tell Ah Yao.”
“Tell Ah Yao? Aren’t you afraid that your son will cut ties with you?”
Wei Lan pursed her lips. “Don’t be so old-fashioned. What era are we in now? You still care about family backgrounds. Don’t make things difficult for your son. As parents, we should hope that our child can live happily.”
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 family’s 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 Yao’s 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.
“Xiao Xiao, Auntie thinks that your talent is not bad. Are you interested in learning from Auntie?” Wei Lan looked at Yuan Xiao, her eyes filled with love.
“Sure, I heard from Fang Yao that you’re a very famous pianist. It’s my honor to be able to learn from you.” Yuan Xiao felt that Wei Lan in front of her had a very friendly feeling, so her attitude towards her was especially enthusiastic.
“Really?” Hearing Yuan Xiao’s words, Wei Lan’s 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.
“Just let Yuan Xiao learn from me.” Fang Yao did not know why Yuan Xiao said that, but when he saw his mother’s 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 Lan’s 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 Yao’s 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 Yao’s parents looked very open-minded, but why was Fang Yao not close to them? Perhaps there was a misunderstanding between them?
“Ah 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.”
