119 First Meeting

[Actually, it’s all possible. Host, you can try to earn more points. You might have a chance to exchange for answers in the future.]

Yuan Xiao nodded and let the system rest. Lying alone on the big bed, Yuan Xiao was still a little worried about gains and losses.

“What’s wrong with me? Why do I feel an inexplicable sadness in my heart recently?” Yuan Xiao felt that she would not be like this for no reason. There must be a reason for all of this.

“Forget it, I’ll accumulate points first. We’ll talk about other things after it happens.” Yuan Xiao convinced herself to stop thinking about these things and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Yuan Xiao had breakfast with Fang Yao and the others before going to the main courtyard to see Grandpa Fang.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Yuan Xiao saw Grandpa Fang watering the flowers in the garden.

The old man looked to be in his seventies or eighties. Although there were many wrinkles on his face, he was still very energetic and his figure was quite tall. It was obvious that he had been in the army.

“Dad, I’m here with the children.” When Fang Yuan saw his father taking the lead to greet him, his attitude was very respectful. Yuan Xiao followed Fang Ming and the others and obediently called him Grandpa.

“How was your rest last night? You children lack exercise and don’t rest on time. Your bodies aren’t even as good as mine!” Grandpa Fang’s voice was very loud and energetic. It was obvious that he was in good health.

“Dad, no one can compare to your health.” Wei Lan smiled and said to Old Master Fang, “Fang Ming finally got a holiday and only rested for a few days before we came back to see you.”

“How has Ah Ming been recently? Is everything going well at work?” Grandpa Fang put down the watering pot in his hand and turned to ask Fang Ming, who was standing at the side.

“Grandpa, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Fang Ming looked at the energetic old man and was very happy.

“That’s good. Since you’ve chosen your job, do it well.” Grandpa Fang actually did not want Fang Ming to learn medicine, but Fang Ming really loved medicine, so Grandpa Fang could only respect his decision.

“Where’s Ah Yao? Haven’t you made a decision yet? I’d already made a few military contributions at your age.” Grandpa Fang had high expectations for his grandson. Fang Yao’s personality was very similar to his when he was young, but it was also because of this that Fang Yao was even harder to discipline.

“Grandpa, I don’t want to be a soldier. My grades are alright now. I should be able to get into a good university.” Although Fang Yao frowned, his tone was still very polite.

“Look at you. You’re really like your father, making me worry!”

As soon as Grandpa Fang finished speaking, he saw Fang Yuan explain anxiously, “Dad, these are two separate matters. What are you saying about me?”

After all, Fang Yuan was almost 50 years old. He still cared about his image in front of the younger generation.

“I didn’t say anything wrong. You were already in the army back then, and now you suddenly want to do some business!” Grandpa Fang was furious when he thought of the past. Although Fang Ming and Fang Yao did not develop according to his wishes, they were still considered sensible. However, Fang Yuan almost angered him to death back then.

Instead of being a good soldier, he had to start his own business and be a boss. The old man was anxious, but this son of his was stubborn. He did not listen to his suggestions at all and had even run away from home several times.

“Dad, this is the Meng family’s Zhu Zhu. Do you still remember her?” Fang Yuan was afraid that the old man would say something embarrassing, so he hurriedly introduced Meng Zhu to him.

“Although I’m in my seventies, I’m not stupid. I watched Zhu Zhu grow up. How can I not remember her?” The old man glared at Fang Yuan. When he turned to look at Meng Zhu, his expression immediately changed. Even his tone became much gentler. “Zhu Zhu, come to Grandpa’s place to play. Go out and shop more. If there’s anything you like, tell your Brother Fang Ming and he’ll buy it for you!”

“Thank you, Grandpa. I got it!” Meng Zhu smiled obediently at Grandpa Fang, causing the smile on the old man’s face to deepen.

Yuan Xiao finally understood what Meng Zhu meant by Grandpa Fang’s differential treatment.

“Dad, this child’s name is Xiaoxiao. She’s Ah Yao’s classmate. She often comes to our house to play, so we brought her along this time.” Wei Lan warmly hugged Yuan Xiao and introduced her to Grandpa Fang.

“Hello, Grandpa!” Yuan Xiao’s voice was crisp and clear. She sounded like a straightforward and cheerful young lady.

“Alright, it’ll be more lively with more people.” Grandpa Fang looked at Yuan Xiao and said with a smile, “This girl is good-looking and has a likable personality. Come to Grandpa’s place a few more times to play. It’ll be fine as long as you get familiar with us.”
