Chapter 1562: Chapter 1562: If needed, contact me anytime

Luo Yuqing called, saying she was waiting for Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng at the Forbidden City entrance.

After Luo Liansheng finished his nap, Luo Ziling accompanied him for a stroll around the Forbidden City.

With Luo Ziling, his grandson, and Luo Yuqing, his granddaughter, accompanying him, Luo Liansheng was in high spirits.

The elderly man was in excellent health, and he didn’t feel tired after spending an afternoon walking through the entire Forbidden City.

While strolling through the Forbidden City, Luo Ziling received a call from Fang Dongxun, saying his grandfather wanted to invite Luo Liansheng over for dinner.

Fang Xiang unexpectedly extended this dinner invitation to Luo Liansheng, catching Luo Ziling by surprise.

He, of course, didn’t dare to accept immediately and instead sought Luo Liansheng’s opinion.

The person on the other end of the line was Fang Xiang.

Fang Xiang extended an invitation to Luo Liansheng over the phone, and after a brief consideration, Luo Liansheng accepted.

Upon hearing that Luo Liansheng was strolling in the Forbidden City with his grandson and granddaughter, Fang Xiang promptly directed Fang Dongxun to personally drive to the Forbidden City to pick up Luo Liansheng.

Fang Dongxun readily agreed.

Just as Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing finished their tour of the Forbidden City, Fang Dongxun arrived with Fang Qianqian, driving a fleet of luxury cars to pick up Luo Liansheng.

Ling Ruonan also joined for the dinner.

Visiting for dinner means one shouldn’t go empty-handed, but as Luo Liansheng came out to play, he hadn’t brought gifts and could only let Ling Ruonan bring them.

This left him feeling a bit regretful, as there was a special gift he couldn’t ask Ling Ruonan to bring and could only save for next time.

When the fleet of luxury cars arrived at the Fang Family Villa, Fang Zhonghua and several brothers personally stood at the door to greet them.

It was quite fitting to welcome Luo Liansheng, this elder, with such respect.

But everyone knew that the Fang Family intended to express more than just courtesy in welcoming Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling.

Luo Liansheng didn’t feel embarrassed, and he accepted these courtesies from the Fang Family graciously.

Upon meeting the Fang Family Head, Fang Xiang, Luo Liansheng simply called him "Old Brother."

Fang Xiang was one year older than Luo Liansheng, so calling him "Old Brother" was fine.

However, being able to call each other "Old Brother" and "Old Younger Brother" smoothly meant something else entirely.

Shortly after Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling arrived, Ling Ruonan’s car also arrived.

"I’m really sorry. I went out this afternoon to the Forbidden City, so I didn’t bring any gifts, let Ruonan bring them over," Luo Liansheng said with a smile to Fang Xiang, "It’s nothing much, just some local specialties from Yuezhou."

"Brother Luo, don’t mention it, coming empty-handed is fine, why bother with gifts?" Fang Xiang laughed heartily, "Next time when I visit Yuezhou, must I also bring gifts for you to host me?"

"That’s not what I meant," Luo Liansheng quickly shook his head, "I just think that these local specialties from Yuezhou are really quite nice and I eagerly wanted to share them."

Luo Liansheng spoke humorously, and Fang Xiang laughed heartily again.

Actually, the relationship between Luo Liansheng and Fang Xiang was no less close than that with Ouyang Lingyun.

Fang Xiang once had a severe illness, and it was Luo Liansheng who helped cure him.

Twenty years ago, during the troubles with Luo Liansheng and Luo Xusheng, the Fang Family consistently aided them. It could be said that with the help from the Ouyang Family and Fang Family, along with Ling Jinhua’s consent, Luo Xusheng managed to escape; otherwise, he certainly would have had to pay for Yang Yunfeng’s life.

Luo Liansheng hadn’t sought Fang Xiang’s help; it was Fang Xiang who had proactively helped, which was crucial.

People who accomplish big things often pay great attention to details, especially regarding sentiments.

Luo Liansheng, in his role as a doctor, had pulled Fang Xiang back from the brink of death, leading him to regard Luo Liansheng as a lifesaver and repay him generously. Luo Liansheng didn’t mind these gestures but always remembered the assistance from the Fang Family.

When Luo Ziling and Fang Dongxun had a dispute, he was worried.

Fortunately, Luo Ziling and Fang Dongxun ended up burying the hatchet, and Fang Dongxun gave up pursuing Yang Qingyin, preventing damage to the families’ relationship. During the meeting with Fang Xiang today, Luo Liansheng also brought up the issue between Luo Ziling and Fang Dongxun from before.

But Fang Xiang didn’t mind at all, and laughed, "As they say, fighting before knowing each other isn’t strange, young people are impulsive, and having disputes and falling out is quite normal. Brothers who haven’t fought generally aren’t deeply bonded, while friends who argue a lot are true friends."

Sitting on the side, Luo Ziling felt a bit ashamed, as he never really considered Fang Dongxun a brother, merely someone to mutually utilize.

He believed Fang Dongxun thought the same way.

However, Fang Dongxun was indeed a friend worth making; given the current situation, at least they could share wealth and prosperity.

After chatting for a while, Fang Xiang invited everyone to the table.

Upon entering, Ling Ruonan didn’t accompany Luo Liansheng and Fang Xiang in conversation but went to discuss matters with Fang Zhonghua’s wife.

Previously, Fang Zhonghua’s wife had expressed that Fang Qianqian liked Luo Ziling and believed Luo Ziling was quite good, with an intention to make him her son-in-law.

Ling Ruonan didn’t want Luo Ziling to face further complications in his romantic life, so today she seized the chance to clarify matters to prevent Fang Zhonghua’s wife from matchmaking.

After Ling Ruonan talked about Luo Ziling’s affairs with Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei, Fang Zhonghua’s wife merely sighed helplessly and said nothing more.

While preparing for dinner, Fang Zhonghua took a phone call.

After the call, his expression turned a bit sour.

Taking advantage of the moment he helped his father, Fang Xiang, to the table, he softly shared the details from the call with Fang Xiang: "Chen Ruchang just called saying they don’t welcome Old Mr. Luo visiting, and asked us to convey this sentiment."

"That’s a good thing," Fang Xiang wasn’t bothered at all and even seemed delighted.

Once seated, Fang Xiang gently relayed what Fang Zhonghua had said earlier to Luo Liansheng.

Originally intending to visit the Chen Family tomorrow, Luo Liansheng had to reluctantly abandon the plan after hearing Fang Xiang’s words.

He chuckled wryly and softly said, "It seems, in many people’s eyes, us grandfather and grandson aren’t very welcome."

"Anyway, you’re always welcome at our Fang Family, anytime. The Luo Family and Fang Family have generations of friendship lasting through the ages." After expressing his intent heartily, Fang Xiang gestured to Fang Dongxun, who was sitting beside him, to fill the glass for him as he wanted to toast Luo Liansheng.

Fang Dongxun quickly filled the glass for his grandfather, and Fang Xiang raised his full cup to toast Luo Liansheng: "Old Brother, it’s been a long time since we drank together, let’s drink heartily today. Haha!"

With that, he downed a glass of yellow wine in one go.

Luo Liansheng did not decline and finished his glass too.

Sitting together after drinking, Fang Xiang signaled for everyone to relax and not be restrained.

When everyone became lively, he quietly reminded Luo Liansheng, "Brother Luo, the Chen Family’s stance is rather unusual, you must be wary of them. They’ve attributed many grudges to you and might suddenly do something desperate."

"Thanks for the warning, Old Brother, we’ll be cautious."

"If needed, feel free to reach out," Fang Xiang smiled.

"We can handle it," Luo Liansheng responded with a light smile.

Seeing Luo Liansheng’s response, Fang Xiang smiled again.
