The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2339 2339: Anomaly

When Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng arrived at the Fang Old Residence by car, it was already four-thirty in the afternoon.

Luo Ziling was visiting the Fang Old Residence for the first time.

The Fang Old Residence was actually not far from the Ling Family Old Mansion, roughly three alleys away.

The old residences in this area are all large courtyards with a single entrance and are quite spacious.

These courtyards under the Imperial City’s shadow are the best symbols of status and position.

However, people living here wouldn’t easily leave their homes to visit others.

For people of their status, every move seems unusual.

For example, if Fang Xiang visits Ling Jinhua, many would wonder if the Fang Family is teaming up with the Ling Family?

Because the identities of the elders living here are too sensitive, they act very cautiously.

If they want to meet someone, they won’t go to their house but will find another place, trying to keep it confidential.

These elders also don’t easily entertain guests.

Whoever they receive has significant implications and will be interpreted in various ways.

“Grandfather, it’s my first time visiting the Fang Old Residence!” Luo Ziling chuckled as they stopped the car, preparing to get out, “I’ve been to another Fang residence a few times, but that’s just where Fang Zhonghua’s family lives.”

“Fang Xiang seldom entertains guests at home.” Luo Liansheng laughed, “Even if you want to come often, you won’t have many opportunities.”

“Alright then!” Luo Ziling felt a bit disheartened but stubbornly said, “I don’t actually like coming to places like this, it’s too oppressive!”

Luo Liansheng smiled and didn’t say much.

When the grandfather and grandson got out of the car, Fang Dongxun appeared from nowhere.

“Grandfather Luo, Ziling, hello!” Today, Fang Dongxun wore casual clothes—a short-sleeved T-shirt, loose casual pants, and casual shoes. With a broad smile, he greeted Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling and then respectfully said to Luo Liansheng, “Grandfather Luo, you seem to be getting younger. If I didn’t know your identity, I’d think you were Ziling’s father!”

Luo Ziling joined in jokingly: “My grandfather has his secrets to staying young. Maybe in thirty years, he’ll still look like this, and people might think we’re brothers when we stand together!”

“You two are just making things up with your eyes open.” Luo Liansheng jokingly scolded, “You little smooth talkers, always saying what people like to hear.”

“Grandfather Luo, it’s just the truth. We’re just speaking it out loud.” Fang Dongxun took the gift Luo Ziling had brought for Fang Xiang and made a gesture of invitation. “Grandfather Luo, Ziling, it’s hot outside. Let’s talk in the courtyard. Grandpa said he’s on his way back and asked me to entertain you first. My dad should be here soon.”

Luo Ziling joked again: “The host isn’t even home, yet we guests are already here chatting. Aren’t we being a bit too eager?”

“It’s better this way!” Fang Dongxun said earnestly, “If we don’t make it too formal and keep it casual, it shows that we’re all good friends. Being too formal, where you must welcome and send off each other, makes it distant. Right, Grandfather Luo?”

Luo Liansheng laughed heartily, indicating for Fang Dongxun to lead the way.

Fang Dongxun led Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling into the old residence, welcoming them into an air-conditioned living room, and diligently brewing tea and bringing fruit for the grandfather-grandson duo.

While Fang Dongxun was busy, Fang Zhonghua arrived.

Luo Ziling had just picked up a piece of watermelon, and before he could take a bite, he saw Fang Zhonghua entering, quickly putting it down and standing up to greet him.

“I’m really sorry!” Fang Zhonghua apologized to Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling as soon as he entered, “Because of some delays today and some traffic, I rushed but still came back late. Guests were already here, and I wasn’t home yet. I’m really sorry. Please, Grandfather Luo and Ziling, don’t take offense.”

“It’s fine!” Luo Liansheng waved it off, “You all are busy people, I’m just idle, too idle, so I thought I’d come over early for a meal, drink, and visit.”

This made Fang Zhonghua even more embarrassed: “Grandfather Luo, you truly put us to shame. I’ll definitely punish myself with three drinks to show my apology later.”

“Dad, hasn’t grandfather returned yet?” Fang Dongxun whispered.

“I just contacted him, and he’s already on his way.” After answering Fang Dongxun’s inquiry, Fang Zhonghua awkwardly continued to Luo Liansheng, “My dad asked me to apologize to you. There were a lot of things today, so I rushed back a bit late. If Grandfather Luo is upset, my dad will apologize to you face to face.”

“It was my hasty arrangement,” Luo Liansheng shook his head, “I didn’t contact you in advance. I only thought of telling you this morning and came early, so it’s my fault!”

Seeing his grandfather talking with the Fang father and son with fake politeness, Luo Ziling didn’t know what to say, ultimately finishing two pieces of watermelon and three loquats in one go. Observing Luo Ziling like this, Fang Dongxun was curious why he was being so low-key.

Luo Ziling’s behavior today was completely different from usual, which made Fang Dongxun very curious.

But in the end, he didn’t ask anything.

After a while of polite conversations, Luo Liansheng shifted from the previous politeness and directly asked Fang Zhonghua: “Is Fang Dongming your nephew?”

Fang Zhongxun was startled, sensing something unusual in Luo Liansheng’s question, and carefully replied, “Yes, he is my brother Fang Zhongxiu’s son. However, he doesn’t associate much with us and rarely interacts with Dongxun.”

“He has trouble Ziling many times,” having already brought up the matter, Luo Liansheng didn’t hold back and further explained it clearly, “Moreover, he often acts on behalf of the Fang Family. If there’s an opportunity, ask him if he intends to ruin the relationship between the Fang and Luo families, or what exactly!”

“What’s going on?” Fang Zhonghua felt a chill after hearing this, “What exactly did Fang Dongming do?”

“Fang Dongming conspired with Lin Zhengdong and got involved in many things against me!” Luo Ziling spoke out before Luo Liansheng, “But I only recently learned about these things.”

After hearing this, Fang Zhonghua’s expression changed immediately.

“I knew Fang Dongming often hung out with Lin Zhengdong, but I didn’t expect them to do such things!” Fang Zhonghua’s face showed anger, “I’ll definitely report this to my father and have someone investigate thoroughly. If he indeed did such disgraceful things, our Fang Family must not tolerate him.”

“Dad, since Grandfather Luo and Ziling both said so, it must be true, no need to investigate anything, just call Fang Dongming over to question him tonight!” Fang Dongxun sensed that his father’s response might not satisfy Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng and quickly added, “Or let him come over tonight to apologize to Grandfather Luo and Ziling!”

Fang Dongxun’s words surprised Fang Zhonghua, and also shocked Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling.
