Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317: Do You Enjoy Making Fun of Me?

The flight was delayed for nearly two hours before taking off.

After the plane took off, Ziling returned to Yuezhou.

When Ziling came, he was driven by Ye Xiaoli, but on his return, he took a ride with Ye Xiaoli’s companion.

The car was arranged by Xiaoli, who was accompanied by Yang Qingyin and others who secretly followed.

These people were also returning to Yanjing, but they planned to take a plane or high-speed rail after sending Ziling back to Yuezhou.

By the time Ziling returned to Yuezhou City, it was already six o’clock in the evening.

The day’s rain and snow had turned into fine snowflakes.

As Ziling got out of the car and walked into the hotel through the heavy snowflakes, he couldn’t help but sigh.

He had originally planned to visit the South with Qingyin to enjoy the snowy scenery and search for plum blossoms. But now the snow was here, and Qingyin had been called back by Yang Yunlin.

“Hopefully there won’t be any snow accumulated tomorrow, otherwise it would be such a pity,” Ziling mused as he entered the hotel.

Luo Liansheng had come back from Lou Village, and this afternoon, along with Ouyang Feifei, they bought two duplex suites for Luo Lianguan and Luo Liankai, located near Dayu Mausoleum in Sanhe Garden.

The houses were not very new, but the environment was good. The duplexes had gardens which were just what his younger brothers wanted.

The price wasn’t too expensive either, only three million per unit, with a usable area of nearly two hundred square meters, and they were ready to move in.

Luo Liankai and Luo Lianguan were quite satisfied with the houses and immediately asked their sons to find a way to move their belongings over before New Year, as they wanted to celebrate the festival in the city. However, Luo Xujin, Luo Xuzhong, and others hoped to move after the New Year, thinking that moving now would be too rushed.

But Luo Liankai and Luo Lianguan insisted on moving before the New Year, saying that since Liansheng was so decisive in his actions, they could not be without integrity.

Liansheng had fulfilled his promise to them, and now they also wanted to keep theirs.

Having no choice, the brothers hurried to contact moving companies to transfer some of the important items from the old mansion and bought new electrical appliances and furniture with their own money. The new houses were fully furnished, but furniture and other items still needed to be bought.

While having dinner, listening to Grandpa drone on about these matters, Ziling curiously asked Luo Liansheng: “Grandpa, why are they so eager to move out of the old mansion? Has the reason been clarified?”

Ziling feared there might be a scheme behind it all, and finding some of the circumstances unreasonable, he still wanted things to be clear.

“It’s unclear,” Luo Liansheng said with a wry smile: “Their nature is similar to mine, very stubborn. Originally they were unwilling to accept my terms, but after accepting them, they didn’t want to be seen as intentionally being difficult. To prove their integrity, they immediately wanted to move out. Of course, that’s just my guess. The reason is definitely not limited to this; there are many factors. But I believe that they won’t be dishonest in the future.”

Ziling looked puzzled and asked Luo Liansheng, “Grandpa, then why did they deliberately make things difficult in the beginning?”

“It’s probably just their nature,” Luo Liansheng seemed reluctant to elaborate, “Anyway, what’s done is done, no need to dwell on it. During the New Year, you should visit them, bring a gift. After all, they are elders and part of the Luo Family, and we should try to unite. A family that engages in internal strife will certainly not prosper. I don’t want any more conflicts among the Luo Family; it would be a joke to others.”

“Alright,” Ziling didn’t quite agree with his grandfather but didn’t say anything more and simply agreed.

Feifei took over the conversation: “The renovation team is already on site, and we’ve employed some local villagers. Most of the rubbish inside has been cleared out.”

Ouyang Feifei let a manager from one of the branches take direct responsibility for the old mansion’s cleaning and renovation, instructing them to report to Wang Qing.

After receiving the report, Wang Qing would inform Ouyang Feifei immediately, so she was well aware of the situation there.

All the garbage in the Luo Family Old Mansion was cleared out within a day, which satisfied Ouyang Feifei.

Originally, she would not bother with such trivial matters, but when it came to the renovation of the Luo Family Old Mansion, she directly offered her opinions to Wang Qing.

Repair the old to appear unchanged, meet fire safety standards, add some modern living facilities without damaging the old structures, design a few gardens with the South’s gardens in mind, plant plenty of plum blossoms and peonies—these were the direct requirements Ouyang Feifei put forth to the person in charge of the renovations.

She planned to find a time to discuss the old mansion renovation with Luo Ziling, feeling that talking to him about it would be much more useful than discussing it with Luo Liansheng. She believed that Luo Ziling shared a similar aesthetic sense with her.

If they had differing opinions, they could discuss it.

After dinner, Luo Liansheng went back to his room for a rest.

After all, he was getting on in years, had not slept well the previous night, and had been running around all day; he felt somewhat tired.

After eating dinner and drinking alcohol, sleepiness naturally set in, and he wanted to take a nap.

Once Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli left, Luo Ziling didn’t want to share a room with Luo Liansheng anymore and planned to sleep in the room that Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli had been occupying. Luo Ziling was also ready to go back to his room to rest, but Ouyang Feifei asked him to come to her room first, saying she had something to discuss.

“What’s this, trying to seduce me?” Luo Ziling looked at Ouyang Feifei with a teasing smile, “Are you inviting me to your bed tonight?”

Ouyang Feifei was both embarrassed and annoyed at Luo Ziling’s direct flirtation.

“Luo Ziling, I’m not in the mood for jokes,” Ouyang Feifei said with a blushing face and a glare at Luo Ziling, adding angrily, “I wanted to discuss something serious with you!”

Ignoring Ouyang Feifei’s irritation, Luo Ziling chuckled, “Aren’t men and women’s affairs a serious matter?”

Ouyang Feifei disregarded Luo Ziling and went straight back to her room.

After some thought, Luo Ziling eventually followed her.

Seeing Luo Ziling follow her, a slight smile appeared on Ouyang Feifei’s lips, but she still ignored him and went straight to her room.

“So you’re really luring me here for some indecent act?” Luo Ziling followed Ouyang Feifei into the room, closed the door behind him, and approached her with a lecherous smile, “Should we shower first before getting into bed?”

“Is it fun to always make fun of me?” Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Ziling coldly, “I’m busy with your Luo Family’s affairs, and this is how you treat me.”

“You’ve worked hard, happy now?” Luo Ziling put his hands on Ouyang Feifei’s shoulders, facing her, “Let me reward you a little, help with some massage?”

Ouyang Feifei was momentarily tempted, but ultimately shook her head, “No need, let’s talk about the old mansion renovation.”

“Really don’t want it? You seem quite tired from all the work,” Luo Ziling’s lips curled into a smile, “If not needed then never mind!”

“Alright then, you massage while we talk!” Ouyang Feifei finally couldn’t resist Luo Ziling’s teasing.
