After arranging things here, Lu Fan felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
Now all we need to do is wait quietly for news from the other side. As long as things proceed smoothly, taking them down shouldn't be too much of a problem, given the current situation.
Especially now that Sun Yue and Li Tian are working together, based on his current understanding, there are very few people who can stand up to them.
Moreover, these people are definitely not pushovers.
The next morning, as soon as Lu Fan opened the door, another old man next to him looked him up and down.
Upon seeing this person, Lu Fan was startled, recalling that the two were of similar status.
He already had a connection with that person, and if he could get help from her in return, or even just become friends with her, that would be enough.
Seeing that the other person was carrying a chess set, he walked down with Lu Fan. "Sir, you play chess too?"
The other person looked at Lu Fan without saying a word, his face expressionless, and noticed the change in Lu Fan compared to before.
After all, this person had always been obedient to her before, and had been constantly adjusting himself in the process, so she had no good feelings towards him at all.
However, this sudden change also made him feel somewhat strange.
"I'm getting old, so I'll just find something to do."
His words were flat and devoid of any emotion, or perhaps he considered Lu Fan to be utterly insignificant, the difference between them as if they were two separate events, and there was no need for him to explain himself to Lu Fan.
"I went out with Grandpa Shangguan a while ago. I wonder when I'll have some time to invite you two to dinner and a chat."
When the other person heard that he had gone out with Shangguan Jianguo, his expression clearly changed.
However, his emotions were hidden, and they quickly disappeared as he watched Lu Fan carefully observing him.
He was very clear about Old Master Shangguan's attitude in all of this.
He couldn't imagine what method Lu Fan had used to get Old Master Shangguan to go out with him.
After all, as far as he knew, that person was quite old-fashioned. Although the two had some conversations on a regular basis, their hobbies were different.
Each of them has their own ideas, and although their positions are not much different, they have different attitudes.
However, when he said these words, he looked at Lu Fan with some hesitation.
"That old guy would actually agree to have dinner with you? I find it hard to believe."
Lu Fan chuckled, watching the other party take the opportunity to back down, and also wanted to use this chance to ease the tension between them.
"Old sir, I can be considered a friend of yours, and we have some interactions on a regular basis."
Now we are neighbors, and we talk and help each other from now on.
"A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and besides, I am a junior member of the family, so it is only proper for me to take this opportunity to invite you two elders."
Hearing these words, the other party still didn't give a good look, perhaps because of Lu Fan's initial attitude, which he still applied even though it had changed.
In addition, Lu Fan's attitude at the beginning was so arrogant that anyone would probably remember it vividly.
"I think it's better to forget about one. We're not from the same world, and your value is far too high. Compared to people like us, you're not even in the same league."
Rather than forcing an integration, you'd be better off developing on your own; it has nothing to do with us anyway.
After saying those words, Lu Fan felt slightly embarrassed, but since the other party had clearly rejected him, he could only walk out with a smile on his face.
Lu Fan was also making plans. Since he couldn't invite the other party, he still had to resolve this hatred.
However, he could tell that the relationship between the other party and Old Master Shangguan was definitely not ordinary, based on the information Nangong Qun had given him before.
These two were already friends, and supposedly had a life-or-death bond, so they asked each other to help them with this small favor.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan went to the gift shop outside and carefully selected some gifts. After that, he went back to Shangguan Jianguo's house.
Shangguan Jianguo knocked on the door, and it opened shortly afterward.
Seeing the large bag Lu Fan was carrying, Xiao Bao already had a general idea in mind.
He had previously promised that he could come to me if he encountered any problems, so now that he's come, I should repay this favor.
"Young friend Lu, is there something you need?"
Seeing that the other party had no intention of inviting him in, Lu Fan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, normally, they should have taken care of things in terms of relationships and other aspects beforehand, so they wouldn't normally turn him away.
Given the current situation, he could only try his best to stuff the gifts he was holding into the doorway.
"Sir, I was planning to invite you to dinner with that person tonight. I wonder if you two have time?"
I always like to get together with my friends whenever we have time, to catch up and strengthen our bonds. And since we're neighbors, it's like we're even closer than family.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jianguo frowned slightly. This was indeed not what he had imagined. Normally, he would have assumed that Lu Fan wanted something from him.
Seeing the gift that the other party had already slipped into the door, you couldn't very well turn them away.
"If you have something to say, come in and talk. But forget about the gift; I don't like those kinds of things."
Furthermore, since you want to host a meal together, it's somewhat inappropriate for me to both accept gifts and eat at the same time.
After the other person opened the door, they walked inside. Upon hearing this, Lu Fan quickly waved his hand.
"Grandpa, you're joking. We're all friends and neighbors, so it's not too much for us to exchange gifts."
These gifts were recently given to me by friends. I see they're almost expired; it's a waste if I just leave them at home all day.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jianguo smiled slightly, and the two sat down at the coffee table, where Shangguan Jianguo poured Lu Fan a cup of tea.
"This is top-quality Tieguanyin tea. See if it suits your taste. But you're planning to invite me and him to dinner tonight."
I'm fine with it, it's up to him. He's a stubborn guy, and you've offended him before.
These words immediately put Lu Fan at ease. Once he knew the problem, things became much easier. If things continued to linger like this, it would be difficult to resolve the issue in the short term.
"If that's really the case, then I'll definitely treat you to dinner tonight. I was the one who spoke without thinking before, which damaged our relationship."
This meal was alright, and I apologize to you both. Besides, it was just a family dinner, and I invited you to come and have a casual meal.
"You don't need to go far, but I'd appreciate it if you could invite that person over as well, so I can apologize in person."
