Sister Li was the first to bear the brunt: "Mr. Luo, you misunderstood. We didn't think too much about it. We're leaving now, we're leaving now."
The leader left, and the others knew that Luo Mingsheng was a master who could not afford to offend, so they were scared away.
Everyone left and silence finally returned to the room.
Song Yiqing glanced at him: "Mr. Luo, the misunderstanding has been resolved. I still have things to do, so I won't keep you here."
Luo Mingsheng did not leave, but kept walking inside.
Song Yiqing deliberately avoided him, and he knew it in his heart.
"You do your thing, I won't disturb you."
"I'm afraid this is inconvenient."
"Then I'll find a few people to help you do it."
Song Yiqing knew he was not joking.
I don't want to owe him anything, so of course I won't accept his help.
"Then do as you wish."
She turned around and entered the room and began to clean up the blackened walls.
Fang Jinnian has been hiding behind Song Yiqing.
Song Yiqing went to work, leaving him alone to face Luo Mingsheng.
His eyes were as bright as lights, looking at him simply.
Luo Mingsheng waved to him kindly: "Come and sit."
Fang Jinnian sat over obediently.
"Are you Dr. Song's son?"
Luo Mingsheng saw that he and Song Yiqing didn't look alike, but the similarities between the two could be seen in their every move.
"yes."
"May I have your name?"
"Fang Jinnian."
"How old are you this year?"
"Six years old."
"You go to the kindergarten next door, right?"
"right."
Grandfather and grandson both asked and answered questions.
Fang Jinnian sat upright and answered generously.
Luo Mingsheng was very satisfied. He suddenly remembered his big baby.
He is similar in age to Luo Tiegen, and compared to him, Fang Jinnian is much better than him.
"I have a grandson who is also in your kindergarten. You should know him."
Fang Jinnian asked innocently: "Who is it?"
Luo Mingsheng paused for a moment. Luo Tiegen and Fang Jinnian had a bad time. If he told him that he was Luo Tiegen's grandfather, it might leave a bad impression on him.
"Oh, I remembered wrongly, you may not know him."
Fang Jinnian felt strange why this old man went back on his word.
Luo Mingsheng then asked: "How are you studying? My grandson is not very good at studying."
"I'm okay. I have to complete all the homework required by the teacher."
"You are awesome, can you be my grandson?"
Fang Jinnian had never encountered this kind of question before. Looking at his kind-hearted look, he didn't know how to answer.
"no!"
It happened that at this time, Fang Huaian came back from outside.
When he heard that Luo Mingsheng was trying to induce Fang Jinnian to become his grandson, he immediately stopped him.
Realizing that his attitude was wrong, Fang Huaian immediately came back: "Jinnian, this is Grandpa Luo."
"Hello, Grandpa Luo."
Luo Mingsheng pretended to be slightly angry: "You know that's not what I mean."
Fang Huaian said: "Now is not the time to talk about this. This fire requires the Luo family to come forward. Mr. Luo must already know about it."
Song Yiqing heard his voice and walked out of the room: "You are back, how are things going?"
Fang Huaian looked at Luo Mingsheng and said bluntly: "The cause of this fire was kerosene, and the quality was substandard. The police station has investigated that this batch of goods was shipped from the Luo family. So we only need to investigate the Luo family.
Whoever sold the kerosene can find the merchant involved."
Song Yiqing was surprised, she didn't expect the Luo family to be involved in this kind of thing.
Luo Mingsheng stood up: "You know a lot. I came here today just to invite Dr. Song to my house to discuss the issue of compensation."
To Song Yiqing's surprise, he directly admitted that the fire was related to him.
She didn't want to go to Luo's house, didn't want to see him, didn't even want to say another word to him.
Before Fang Huaian came back, she had been hiding in the room.
He heard clearly the conversation between Luo Mingsheng and Fang Jinnian.
She guessed that the Luo family seemed to be aware of her life experience.
Seeing her hesitation, Luo Mingsheng comforted her: "This time I'm not just inviting you, but also the nearby merchants who are suffering. So Dr. Song doesn't have to think too much."
His attitude was sincere, and Song Yiqing thought that since everyone was together, it wouldn't hurt to go and have a look.
She handed Fang Jinnian to Fang Huaian and returned to Luo's house with Luo Mingsheng.
Luo Mingsheng did not lie. He did invite nearby businesses that were also damaged to discuss compensation matters.
The living room was full of people, and everyone seemed to be waiting.
Luo Mingsheng and Song Yiqing attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared on the stage.
"They are coming..."
Luo Mingsheng sat down, and Song Yiqing deliberately chose a seat far away from him.
He was talking from above, and Song Yiqing was listening attentively from below.
Everyone was very satisfied with the compensation plan proposed by the Luo family.
Those who are dissatisfied do not dare to speak out, after all, the Luo family cannot afford to offend.
After all was said and done, it was already noon.
Luo Mingsheng invited everyone to have a meal. Song Yiqing wanted to postpone it, but no one left.
In the end, she had no choice but to go to the dining room with everyone.
There is a large round table in the magnificent hall, with a revolving marble porcelain surface.
Such a tabletop is a rare item, and only wealthy families like the Luo family can have it.
Just as lunch was about to begin, Luo Mingsheng's wife, Wang Minglan, walked out of the room.
With the help of a servant, he sat next to Luo Mingsheng.
Wang Minglan is thin and pale, and she looks not in good health.
Her eyes kept scanning back and forth over the people on the round table, and finally locked on Song Yiqing.
Otherwise, her face looks so much like Luo Mingsheng when she was young.
She pointed at Song Yiqing, and Luo Mingsheng nodded.
Her eyes never left Song Yiqing again.
Being stared at, Song Yiqing felt uncomfortable all over.
I didn't know the taste of the food, and listened to them praising the Luo family from the side like chewing wax.
"Mr. Luo, you are a figure we admire. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to be a guest in Luo Mansion today."
"Indeed, Mr. Luo is a well-known figure in our hearts. It is a great honor to have dinner with Mr. Luo."
You can wear it a thousand times, but you can never wear it to flatter yourself.
Despite their flattery, Song Yiqing remained silent and just wanted to end this uncomfortable meal as soon as possible.
Wang Minglan only took a few bites of food and then put down her chopsticks.
She really wanted to call Song Yiqing to her side for a closer look, but Song Yiqing kept her head lowered.
Finally, everyone put down their chopsticks.
Song Yiqing was the first to get up and prepare to say goodbye.
"Excuse me, I have something else to do, so I will leave first. Please forgive me, Mr. Luo."
Wang Minglan didn't wait for Luo Mingsheng to speak and said first: "Wait a moment."
Her voice was tense and trembling.
"Mrs. Luo, what can I do?"
Wang Minglan felt uncomfortable when she heard her name was Mrs. Luo.
"It's nothing, I just want to keep you here to catch up on old times."
