Chapter 109 - 109 United Front
109 United Front
“Suitable for me? You obviously want to avoid our family business!” Fang Yao did not hate economic management, but he did not like the feeling of his future being arranged by others.
“Ah Yao, you know that Brother’s mind isn’t on business. You’re an adult now. You should consider our family’s matters.” Fang Ming persuaded earnestly, but Fang Yao did not appreciate it at all.
“Come on, I don’t like doing business either. Grandpa said before that you’re more suitable to be the heir than me.” Fang Yao crossed his arms willfully when he suddenly heard Yuan Xiao’s voice behind him.
“Don’t be so childish. I think Brother Fang Ming has a point. Economic management is not bad either. You should study hard.”
After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, she saw Fang Yao slowly lowering his head like a deflated ball. He whispered to Fang Ming, “Alright, then I’ll study hard when I go to the winter holiday training camp. We’ll talk about it in the future.”
Fang Ming had never seen his brother so obedient. He looked at Yuan Xiao through the rearview mirror in admiration and realized that she was also smiling at him.
Fang Ming was secretly delighted. If he could unite with Yuan Xiao in the future, it would be much easier to discipline his rebellious younger brother.
With a plan in mind, Fang Ming said happily to Fang Yao, “Alright, as long as my brother is willing to try, he will definitely succeed.”
Fang Yao knew that Fang Ming was coaxing him, but he was still very happy to be able to go to the training camp with Yuan Xiao. After all, according to Professor Shen, there were many outstanding students in the training camp. If Yuan Xiao was really wooed by someone, wouldn’t he be angered to death?
“Xiao Xiao, do you have any other plans before the new year?” Fang Ming looked at Yuan Xiao in the rearview mirror and asked.
“I don’t have any special arrangements. The new year is in less than half a month, and I still have to participate in the winter holiday training camp after the new year.” Yuan Xiao’s mind was now focused on the training camp. After all, there were not many points left, and Yuan Xiao was in a hurry to complete the mission.
“Then the day after tomorrow, we’ll all go to Grandpa’s house in the south to play. Do you want to come too? There are many entertainment activities there that the city doesn’t have. Just treat it as going out with Ah Yao.” Fang Ming really wanted Yuan Xiao to marry into the Fang family. With Yuan Xiao by his side, Fang Yao would be less worrying.
“Are you going to Grandpa’s villa again?” Fang Yao was a little unhappy. His grandfather had always been strict, and Fang Yao was not close to him.
“It’s almost the new year. What’s wrong with going back? Ah Yao, you have to be more sensible. Grandpa has been living in the army since he was young. His temper is a little bad. You can just listen to him when it comes to small matters.” Fang Ming was very troubled by the relationship between Fang Yao and his grandfather. The two of them were like rebellious children who quarreled the moment they met.
“Xiao Xiao, are you willing to go back with me?” Fang Yao asked somewhat unconfidently. He felt that the chances of Yuan Xiao agreeing were not high, so he did not have much hope.
“Sure, I’ll go home tonight and talk to my parents. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go.” Yuan Xiao looked at the smile on Fang Yao’s face and felt that her choice was right.
However, the reason why Yuan Xiao agreed so readily was because of the system notification in her mind. There were some hidden missions in the villa that could be exchanged for points and special abilities.
“Alright, I’ll wait for your news tomorrow.” Fang Ming was very happy that Yuan Xiao would agree. It seemed that he was one step closer to his dream of getting Yuan Xiao’s help.
After Yuan Xiao returned home, she found Shen Hai and Feng Mei and suggested that she wanted to go to her grandfather’s house with Fang Yao.
Feng Mei did not object, but she was still a little worried. “Xiao Xiao, it’s almost the new year after all. Will it be inconvenient for you to go now?”
Yuan Xiao shook his head. “It should be fine. We can come back before the new year. Brother Fang Ming also said to treat it as a vacation. I don’t think it’s that formal.”
Hearing Yuan Xiao’s words, Shen Hai nodded and replied, “Then don’t worry and go play. I even told your mother today that the restaurant is getting busier at the end of the year. Otherwise, we were thinking of taking you out to play too.”
Feng Mei and Shen Hai really felt that they owed Yuan Xiao. After all, Yuan Xiao did not live well in the Yuan family with them. She even had relatives like Shen Ling. In fact, the Shen couple felt a little upset.
“Dad, Mom, our family will definitely have a chance to go out and play in the future!” Yuan Xiao saw the heartache in her parents’ eyes and reached out to hug them.
