Just after talking with Ling Ruonan about Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping, Luo Liansheng turned around and told him that he was going to meet Chen Yihe tonight and had even accepted the tea given by Chen Yihe, leaving Luo Ziling astonished.

He knew that although his grandpa wasn't very enthusiastic about mundane affairs, having experienced so much, he wasn't inclined to be involved in conflicts. But he also knew that his grandpa was a very steady person, who wouldn't do anything without a reliable outcome.

However, he still wanted to know what was really going on.

Luo Liansheng, as if understanding Luo Ziling's thoughts, began to talk without waiting for him to ask.

"This afternoon, Chen Yihe contacted me voluntarily, saying he wanted to meet me," Luo Liansheng said while sipping tea, "I am his uncle, and actually, we are quite close with the Chen Family."

At this point, Luo Liansheng sighed slightly.

Chen Yining and Chen Yijing actually should also call Luo Liansheng uncle, as Chen Rujie is their aunt, although only a paternal cousin.

And Chen Rujie, Chen Yihe, and Chen Yiping are siblings, blood relatives from the second generation of the paternal line.

Luo Xusheng has to call Chen Rushan uncle and is a cousin to Chen Yiping and Chen Yihe.

In ordinary families, the blood relation of uncles and nephews, aunts, and nephews is one of the closest.

Sadly, their relationship with the Chen family has turned out this way.

After pondering for a bit, Luo Liansheng said softly, "Actually, after grandpa came to Yanjing, he had already met Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping several times. They see me as their uncle, they acknowledge your grandmother as their aunt, and treat your father like a cousin."

After a bit of setup, Luo Liansheng continued, "After the conflict with the Chen family escalated, Chen Yihe also took the initiative to contact me. This afternoon, we met for the second time. Chen Yihe handed me some evidence that is unfavorable to Chen Yining and Chen Yijing, but I didn't take it."

Luo Liansheng's words surprised Luo Ziling greatly, but he quickly understood that grandpa didn't want to see the brothers tearing each other apart --- Luo Liansheng didn't wish for the Chen Family members to betray their own brothers to achieve success.

It must be said, Luo Liansheng was quite old-fashioned in these matters; he had his own principles.

Luo Ziling couldn't say that Luo Liansheng was wrong in doing so but felt a little regretful about missing internal information from the Chen family.

---------------------------

"Those things, they might be useful to them if they keep them to themselves," Luo Liansheng continued, "This incident doesn't need them to assist. They didn't get involved; it just started, and they couldn't do much anyway. But the two brothers have already started making preparations."

Luo Liansheng gave a wry smile and added, "They are your grandmother's nephews; if your grandmother were here, she would probably agree with what I'm doing."

"Grandpa, I totally understand what you're doing, don't blame yourself." Luo Ziling comforted Luo Liansheng, "I know you are afraid that if we help Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping, it might cause trouble for everyone. If it doesn't go well, it could be a mess, even harming them. If that's really the case, then it's their own incompetence, not to blame anyone; we do want to help them."

"I promised them, I would find a way to create conditions to help them," Luo Liansheng chuckled, and then revealed a seemingly secret to Luo Ziling, "Chen Ruchang might have relatively severe liver disease, poor liver function for several years now. According to Chen Yihe, Chen Ruchang now shows signs of liver cirrhosis, which is related to his fondness for alcohol. If this is true, then his health is at risk. If, I mean if, his illness becomes public, and with efforts from others, Chen Ruchang may likely lose power. At that time, the Chen family will fall to a second-rate family."

Luo Ziling didn't understand Luo Liansheng's intentions, he could only listen quietly.

"The weakening of the Chen family is inevitable. Even if Chen Ruchang has many years left, and Chen Yining does well in officialdom, it's the same. Given the current situation of Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping, even if they step up, they can't support the entire Chen family," Luo Liansheng continued with his reflections, "But if they have the ability to build good relations with other families through their efforts, they still have the chance to lead the Chen family. If we lend them a helping hand, then we become their allies. Haha, has grandpa become quite utilitarian?"

Seeing Luo Liansheng mocking himself, Luo Ziling immediately said, "Grandpa, I understand what you mean; I think if it really happens, it would indeed be quite good."

Even though Luo Liansheng didn't fully express his thoughts, Luo Ziling knew that Luo Liansheng had considered things thoroughly.

The weakness of the Chen family was a high-probability event. The Chen family's few descendants couldn't completely control the family; if Chen Ruchang dies, then the Chen family will be even more disorderly. If there is another strong family supporting someone, then that person's influence will surely increase, potentially even leading the Chen family.

If that person eventually leads the Chen family, then they will surely feel gratitude towards those who helped, even deeming them allies.

When the Chen family rises again, those who helped them will gain a powerful ally.

Moreover, if the helper of the Chen family is strong enough, they may heavily influence the Chen family, making it serve their purposes.

This is actually quite a profitable deal.

Therefore, Luo Ziling fully agreed with what grandpa said.

After understanding, he told Luo Liansheng about what he had just discussed with Ling Ruonan.

Luo Liansheng knew that Luo Ziling would definitely tell Ling Ruonan about this, and he hoped that through Luo Ziling, this matter would reach Ling Ruonan. But he didn't ask Luo Ziling about Ling Ruonan's attitude, knowing that Luo Ziling would tell him.

Indeed, Luo Ziling didn't hide anything from Luo Liansheng and shared Ling Ruonan's stance.

After hearing what Luo Ziling said, Luo Liansheng pondered for a moment before saying, "Then let your mother get in touch, her judgment should be more accurate than mine."

"Mm!" Luo Ziling nodded.

The grandfather and grandson talked for a while longer, and when it became a bit late, Luo Liansheng went to take a bath and sleep.

Luo Ziling also returned to his room but didn't go to sleep immediately.

Taking out his phone, he surprisingly saw several messages from Ouyang Feifei.

"Are you very dissatisfied with me?"

"Is Yang Qingyin's injury also blamed on me?"

"I've never been so wronged before. Have I been wrong all along?"

Seeing the messages sent half an hour ago, Luo Ziling hesitated a bit and still replied: "No, I'm just used to it."

Ouyang Feifei quickly responded with another message: "Habitually being upset with me?"

"I like teasing beautiful women, is that okay?"

The response with several eye-rolling emojis from Ouyang Feifei.

"Been a while since I teased you, when should I seriously tease you again." Luo Ziling sent another message.

He was in the mood for some playful banter.

"In your mind, am I that cheap?"
