No Way! The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Is Actually a Genius Big Shot

130 Devote My Life

Fang Yao knew that the old master of the Yue family and his grandfather were comrades in the army. Moreover, he had participated in many famous battles back then.

“Because Grandpa Yue saved my grandfather’s life on the battlefield.” Fang Yao had heard from his family that his grandfather was seriously injured back then and was carried back by Grandpa Yue from the snow. It could be said that he had saved his life.

“It’s like this indeed. Moreover, the old master of the Yue family helped your father.” Compared to what happened to the two old men in the army, Uncle Zhou knew more about the lawsuit that Fang Yuan almost got into back then.

“When your father decided to do business back then, he also had a huge conflict with the old master. It even reached the point where he ran away from home.” Uncle Zhou thought of what had happened when he was young and a smile appeared on his face.

“I’ve been following President Fang since his business started. At that time, we were both young and inexperienced. Every step was very difficult.” Uncle Zhou did not have much talent in business. The only thing he could do was help Fang Yuan take care of the trivial matters in his life.

“I know. It wasn’t easy for Dad back then. He didn’t have the support of his family and didn’t have any foundation.” Fang Yao actually admired his father. He had his own opinions in both his career and marriage.

“Yeah, and we were fooled in the beginning. We almost got into a lawsuit back then.”

When Fang Yao was born, his father’s career was already very successful, so he did not know much about Uncle Zhou’s past.

“You mean Grandpa Yue helped my father at that time?” Although Fang Yao had never heard his father mention this matter, his father had always respected Grandpa Yue.

Uncle Zhou nodded. “That’s right. The old master of the Yue family has a better temper than your grandfather, and his interpersonal networks are wider than your grandfather’s. If it weren’t for the fact that he wasn’t afraid of being implicated back then and stood up for your father, I’m afraid President Fang’s career wouldn’t have developed so smoothly.”

Fang Yao knew that his grandfather and father were very polite to the Yue family, but he did not expect there to be so many stories between the two families.

“Uncle Zhou, could it be that you’re telling me this so that I can repay the Yue family’s kindness and have to devote my life to them?” Fang Yao’s expression did not look too good. Although he was not a person who did not understand the logic of things, it was still difficult for Fang Yao to accept that he had to marry someone he did not like because of the relationships of the previous generation. This was too ridiculous.

“You child, you’re good in every way, but you’re too hot-tempered!” Uncle Zhou sighed helplessly. “Of course, I don’t want to ruin your happiness and freedom because of the matters between the elders, but Second Young Master, you have to remember that the Yue family has done us a favor after all. Don’t go too far, lest the two families fall out over some small matter.”

“I understand, Uncle Zhou.” Fang Yao nodded and promised Uncle Zhou, “Other than being with Yue Ping, I’m fine agreeing to anything else.”

When Uncle Zhou heard Fang Yao’s words, he felt that he had wasted his breath. A few days ago, the old master of the Yue family had even come to look for the old master because of his granddaughter. Yue Ping had caused a ruckus at home and refused to marry anyone other than Fang Yao. Old Master Yue doted on his granddaughter and could be considered to have put down his pride to beg his old comrade.

Uncle Zhou knew that the old master was in a difficult position. Fang Yao’s marriage could not be decided by him alone, but it was not easy to reject an old friend’s request. Uncle Zhou was also anxious for the old master.

“Second Young Master, you’re still young. You might not understand the ways of the world. I only hope that you won’t be too cold to the Yue family’s little granddaughter. Just treat her as an ordinary friend.”

Uncle Zhou did not have the confidence to let Fang Yao try to accept Yue Ping, but he only hoped that this child would not be too ruthless and embarrass the girl. It would also affect the friendship between the Yue family and the Fang family over the years.

“I understand. I’ll be more careful in the future.” Although Fang Yao was unwilling, Uncle Zhou was doing this for the good of the Fang family. There was no need for him to be too absolute.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Zhou, Fang Yao quickly walked into the hall. He did not expect to meet Yue Ping halfway.

Fang Yao did not want to cause a misunderstanding. He wanted to walk past her and leave, but Yue Ping stopped him loudly.

“Brother Yao!” Yue Ping felt that if she did not express her feelings to Fang Yao now, she might not have the chance in the future.

“I really like you!” Yue Ping’s cheeks were slightly red, but her voice was very loud.

Fang Yao noticed the gaze of the servant not far away and frowned unhappily.
