Fang Yi stayed with the Fang Family for two or three days. During these days, Fang Yi felt quite bored because Fang Yuying left after having dinner with him that night, saying she had to attend to some matters in Western China and would probably not return to Tianjing for a few months.
No one in the Fang Family was really familiar with Fang Yi, so he couldn't be bothered to stay any longer. He went to see the old grandfather, and without beating around the bush, directly stated his purpose.
The old grandfather listened and chuckled, "It seems you don't have a very good impression of our Fang Family. You're already in Tianjing, yet you go out to stay somewhere else. If outsiders hear about this, where would I put my old face? Those old guys would definitely criticize me behind my back."
Fang Yi replied coolly, "You've been criticized for over twenty years already; a few more days shouldn't matter."
