47 Meeting the Parents
“Xiao Xiao, if there’s anything in future, just let Brother know. If Fang Yao dares to bully you, just tell me. I’ll help you teach this kid a lesson.”
As Fang Ming drove, he instructed Yuan Xiao in the backseat, causing Fang Yao, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, to look dissatisfied.
“Xiao Xiao, my parents misunderstood yesterday. Don’t mind them. They’re actually quite open-minded,” Fang Ming explained to Yuan Xiao as he parked the car in the garage.
“Okay, Uncle and Auntie look very friendly.” Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao, who had already opened the car door for her, and got out of the car with a smile.
“Brother, I brought Yuan Xiao here to learn the piano today. Tell Dad and Mom not to disturb us later.”
Fang Yao felt a headache when he thought of his parents’ abnormal behavior in the hospital yesterday.
“Learn the piano?” Fang Ming’s face was full of surprise. “Are you going to teach Xiao Xiao how to play the piano?”
“Why? Can’t I?” Fang Yao glanced at Fang Ming with a disdainful expression.
“Sure, Xiao Xiao. Ah Yao plays the piano well. It’s good for you to learn from him.”
Before this, Fang Ming had never thought that his younger brother would be able to calm down and teach others how to play the piano. It seemed that Yuan Xiao was indeed very special. She could make his troublesome younger brother become much more obedient.
Walking into the living room, Fang Yao wanted to bring Yuan Xiao directly to the piano room, but he saw his parents waiting on the sofa.
“Hello, Uncle and Auntie. My name is Yuan Xiao. I’m Fang Yao’s classmate. I was in a hurry yesterday and didn’t have time to introduce myself. Please forgive me, Uncle and Auntie.”
Before Fang Yao spoke, Yuan Xiao obediently introduced herself to Fang Yuan and Wei Lan.
“Hello, we’ll call you Xiao Xiao, alright?” Wei Lan was very satisfied when she saw how obedient and sensible Yuan Xiao was.
She walked to Yuan Xiao’s side, pulled her arm, and whispered, “This is the first time Ah Yao brought a friend home. His father and I welcome you very much.”
“I hear you’re doing great in school.”
Fang Yuan’s attitude towards Yuan Xiao was a little cold. Previously, because he had misunderstood the relationship between Fang Yao and Yuan Xiao, he was anxious and did not realize that Yuan Xiao was Yuan Ming and Sun Li’s daughter.
He had met Yuan Ming a few times and knew that his family had adopted the wrong daughter. Furthermore, he had also heard that this daughter of the Yuan Family, who was not related by blood, had worked hard to improve her results rapidly after knowing her background.
“It’s alright.” Yuan Xiao was very humble. She could be said to be an influential figure in school now. Everyone knew about her amazing learning ability.
“I’ll take Yuan Xiao to practice the piano first. Call us when it’s time to eat.” Fang Yao was unwilling to let Yuan Xiao continue chatting with his parents, so he pulled her upstairs to the piano room.
Wei Lan, who was still standing in the living room, was a little stunned. She asked Fang Yuan, who was beside her, “Hubby, did I hear wrongly? Is our son going to play the piano at home?”
Wei Lan had always been very happy because Fang Yao liked to play the piano. He was also very talented at playing the piano. However, there was once when Wei Lan was a little impatient when teaching Fang Yao how to play the piano, causing Fang Yao to swear never to play the piano in front of her again.
Fang Yao had always been rebellious and stubborn. Wei Lan had tried to persuade him many times but to no avail. She thought that she had ruined her youngest son’s only hobby and had always blamed herself.
“Ah Yao even wants to teach Xiao Xiao how to play the piano,” Fang Ming added as he looked at his shocked parents.
“Really?” Wei Lan’s eyes lit up. She muttered to herself, “I’m going to ask Auntie to prepare more dishes. Xiao Xiao is a good child. I have to take her seriously for making such a huge change in Ah Yao.”
With that, Wei Lan walked to the backyard. Fang Ming watched his mother leave and said to his father, “Dad, although it’s not good to fall in love at a young age, I think Xiao Xiao is really a good child. It’s best if you and Mom don’t interfere too much with them.”
Fang Ming understood his parents’ personality. Wei Lan was still alright. She was very open-minded and not an old-fashioned parent. However, Fang Yuan had always been stubborn. If he did not support Fang Yao, there would probably be a bloodbath in the family.
“I can’t do anything about it! That brat Ah Yao is getting more and more disobedient. He only knows how to cause trouble for me every day!”
Fang Yuan had put in a lot of effort because of Fang Yao’s rebellion. Previously, Fang Yao had injured the son of his business partner and refused to apologize, causing him to pay more than 10 million yuan.
Fang Yuan did not criticize Fang Yao too much, but he could not help but feel a little disappointed. His younger son was not obedient at all.
“Don’t say that.” Fang Ming had heard Lu Liu mention Fang Yao and Yuan Xiao before, but from Lu Liu’s words, Yuan Xiao did not seem to like his younger brother.
“If Xiao Xiao could stay by Ah Yao’s side, she might slowly change him.” Fang Ming could tell that Yuan Xiao was very special in Fang Yao’s heart.
