Chapter 135: Brother Fang Yu’s Girlfriend?
Cai Gaoyang naturally interpreted this statement as Fang Yu learning from Huang Daoran’s calligraphy, just as he did when he was young, often studying and copying Huang Daoran’s authentic works.
He never considered that the communication and guidance Fang Yu mentioned were truly meant in the literal sense.
“So, you are indeed following in the footsteps of the Sage of Calligraphy… Truly outstanding! Moreover, although you have learned from him, your style is completely different; you have forged your own path… I truly admire that,” Cai Gaoyang sighed with emotion.
At nearly seventy years old, Cai Gaoyang had long reached a bottleneck in his calligraphy skills, making it difficult for him to make further progress.
Yet, Fang Yu, despite his youth, had already achieved such high accomplishments, with an unlimited future ahead of him.
Hearing Cai Gaoyang’s words, the surrounding crowd was stunned.
Was Cai Gaoyang… praising Fang Yu?
They couldn’t have heard wrong, could they?
“Dad, those words are clearly a mockery…” Cai Zhengnan’s expression changed, and he gritted his teeth.
“Why is everyone focusing on the content of those words? Can’t you see the calligraphy itself? Besides, the words the young brother gifted me, I wholeheartedly agree with. Over the years, I have indeed been overly praised, and I have lost my calm mindset,” Cai Gaoyang frowned and said. “There is no first in literature; there are indeed many who are stronger than me on the path of calligraphy. I am far from being the best in the world.”
As Cai Gaoyang spoke, he looked at Fang Yu and said, “Young brother Fang Yu, no, Mr. Fang Yu, your level is sufficient to be my mentor.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.
Everyone stared blankly at Fang Yu.
They never imagined that Fang Yu’s calligraphy would receive such high praise from Cai Gaoyang!
Recalling their previous comments, they felt their cheeks burning with embarrassment.
It turned out that Fang Yu really knew calligraphy, and… his skill was so high that even Cai Gaoyang felt inferior!
Qin Yimo widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Fang Yu in disbelief.
At this moment, Cai Gaoyang picked up Fang Yu’s calligraphy and walked to a wall behind him.
There hung a piece of his most proud calligraphy.
Without hesitation, Cai Gaoyang covered it with Fang Yu’s work.
This action caused the people present to change their expressions once again!
How much did Cai Gaoyang love Fang Yu’s calligraphy to do such a thing!?
It should be noted that the covered calligraphy was Cai Gaoyang’s famous work!
Moreover, the eight large characters written by Fang Yu were all a mockery of Cai Gaoyang!
“Mr. Fang Yu, thank you for these two phrases. I will use them to motivate myself. In the upcoming art exhibition, I will display them together. I wonder if Mr. Fang Yu would be willing…” Cai Gaoyang asked sincerely.
“Do as you wish,” Fang Yu replied.
Seeing his father so humble, Cai Zhengnan felt very displeased.
But he knew he couldn’t say anything at this moment.
At this time, Qin Yimo also saw the sixteen characters written by Fang Yu and slightly opened her mouth.
With her appreciation level for calligraphy, she could naturally tell how high the level of this piece was.
“So he really understands calligraphy?”
Qin Yimo looked at Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
…
“Fang Yu, I didn’t know your calligraphy was this good… even Master Cai says he is not as good as you… you are really impressive,” Ding Ran walked up to Fang Yu with a smile.
“Not bad, but compared to Huang Daoran, it’s much worse,” Fang Yu said.
After saying that, Fang Yu turned to Qin Yimo and said, “Shall we go?”
Qin Yimo was lost in thought, staring at Fang Yu’s calligraphy.
“If you like it, I can also gift you a couple of phrases. Stop looking,” Fang Yu said.
“Really?” Qin Yimo looked at Fang Yu, her face lighting up.
“How hard can it be to write a few characters? Let’s go,” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
He just wanted to leave quickly; he knew many people were eager to approach him.
“Okay, remember what you said!” Qin Yimo nodded and turned to leave with Fang Yu.
Seeing Fang Yu leave, Ding Ran quickly followed.
Meanwhile, Zhou Cheng looked at the eight large characters that Cai Gaoyang had posted on the wall, then glanced at Ding Ran following Fang Yu, his expression extremely unpleasant.
After exiting the Yulinfang gate, Ding Ran reached out to stop Fang Yu.
“Fang Yu, I really have an urgent matter to ask for your help!” Ding Ran said.
“I’ll wait for you in the car,” Qin Yimo glanced at Fang Yu and walked toward the parking lot.
Fang Yu looked at Ding Ran, frowning slightly, and asked, “What is it?”
“Did you see the man who was next to me just now? His name is Zhou Cheng. My family is forcing me to marry him. I’ve been troubled by this recently, which is why I went to the bar to drink…” Ding Ran said.
“And then?” Fang Yu asked.
“I don’t want to marry him. Can you help me?” Ding Ran looked at Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes shining.
Having witnessed Fang Yu’s extraordinary skills, she thought that if he was willing to help her, she wouldn’t have to marry Zhou Cheng!
“How can I help you?” Fang Yu asked.
“You just need to pretend to be my boyfriend; I’ll handle everything else…” Ding Ran blinked and said.
“Pretend to be a boyfriend?” Fang Yu frowned and said, “If I help you, what will you give me in return?”
Ding Ran bit her red lip, her face slightly flushed, and softly said, “What do you want… I can give you anything I have…”
“Sorry, but so far, you don’t have anything I’m interested in,” Fang Yu replied.
Ding Ran’s expression changed slightly as she said, “Then what do you want? I’m really at my wit’s end. Fang Yu, do you know how miserable it is for a woman to marry a man she doesn’t like? I don’t want to ruin my life like this; I still have many dreams…”
As she spoke, Ding Ran’s eyes turned slightly red, glistening with tears.
“But I still don’t want to help you. Everyone has their own difficulties; you can’t always rely on others to solve your problems,” Fang Yu said.
“But I can’t solve this problem myself! Zhou Cheng’s family is very powerful in Jiulong Island, and my family doesn’t dare to offend them…” Ding Ran said.
“I can offer you a solution,” Fang Yu said.
“What is it?” Ding Ran’s eyes brightened.
“You can directly run to a small village in the northwest or southwest to teach for three to five years. By the time you come back, Zhou Cheng will have already married, right? Then you won’t have any worries,” Fang Yu said.
“…I’ve never stayed in a small village; I definitely won’t be able to adapt to life there…” Ding Ran said pitifully.
“Then there’s nothing I can do; I can’t help you,” Fang Yu said, turning to leave.
He didn’t like Ding Ran’s way of forcing her difficulties onto others without trying to find a solution herself.
“Fang Yu… are you really going to stand by and watch me suffer? After all, I am…” Ding Ran looked at Fang Yu’s back, biting her lip as she asked.
“I’ve already saved you two or three times; you owe me a favor, not the other way around,” Fang Yu said without looking back.
Watching Fang Yu’s figure gradually fade away, Ding Ran’s expression changed, and her eyes became resolute.
Since Fang Yu was unwilling to agree to help, she would have to find her own way!
No matter what, she would not marry Zhou Cheng!
…
Qin Yimo sent Fang Yu back to the Lijiang community.
Before getting out of the car, Qin Yimo said to Fang Yu, “Don’t forget to give me the calligraphy.”
“Don’t worry, I never go back on my word,” Fang Yu replied.
It was already eight in the evening when Fang Yu took the elevator upstairs. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Liu Liansha sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea.
He had sensed Liu Liansha’s presence long ago, so he wasn’t surprised.
“Xiaoyu, you’re back? Miss Liu has been waiting for you here for a long time,” Wang Yan said with a smile upon seeing Fang Yu.
Yu Yueyue was sitting nearby, glancing at Liu Liansha and then at Fang Yu, her expression dim.
“Xiaoyu, have you eaten? I saved some food for you; just heat it up and you can eat,” Wang Yan said.
“Not in a hurry; I might need to go out for a bit. I’ll eat when I come back,” Fang Yu said without entering the room, looking at Liu Liansha and saying, “Shall we go?”
Liu Liansha didn’t dare to meet Fang Yu’s gaze, standing up and walking toward him with her head down.
“Just got back and you’re leaving again?” Wang Yan asked in confusion.
“I have some matters to attend to; I’ll be back soon,” Fang Yu said.
Yu Yueyue watched Fang Yu and Liu Liansha leave, feeling extremely downcast, even feeling weak all over.
It turned out that Brother Fang Yu already had a girlfriend, and she was such a beautiful girl…
