Chapter 1763: Chapter 1763: Then I Shall Accept Your Kind Invitation

Luo Qiao looked at Luo Chen with a smile: "Thank you so much today, stay for dinner before you leave."

Upon hearing that he was invited to dinner, Luo Chen instinctively glanced at Yanyan. Luo Qiao laughed and said, "I’m the one inviting you to dinner, why are you looking at Yanyan? You used to freeload at our house a lot in the housing complex when you were little."

Luo Chen smiled and said, "It’s been a long time since I had Auntie’s cooking, so I’ll happily accept the invitation."

Luo Qiao first brought over a plate of watermelon: "Luo Chen, you graduated this year, right?"

Luo Chen nodded: "Yes."

Luo Qiao gestured for him to eat the watermelon: "Are you planning on pursuing further studies or finding a job?"

Luo Chen glanced at Yanyan, who was sitting diagonally across: "I will continue my studies, but last year I started a software company with some classmates. It’s moved past the initial stage and is developing quite well."

Luo Qiao laughed: "You’ve always been decisive since you were young; you’ll surely do well in the future."

Hearing Luo Qiao’s praise, Luo Chen was very excited inside. This meant Auntie had confidence in him. He rubbed his hands and smiled, "I’m just dabbling now, but I’ll definitely work hard to make it successful in the future."

When the dishes were served, Luo Chen kept glancing over at Yanyan, always paying attention to her preferences.

His actions did not go unnoticed; even the attentive Yueyue noticed.

As soon as Luo Chen left, the two started intensely questioning Yanyan. Yanyan explained that they really just bumped into each other; the last time was on a bus ride with Yueyue when they met Luo Chen.

However, she didn’t know that Luo Chen often went to Peking University when he had free time, watching her from a distance. She had actually felt someone watching her a few times but never found out who it was.

The two believed what Yanyan said, so they didn’t press further.

However, Luo Qiao had some thoughts. She was good friends with Shen Juan, and Luo Feng’s character was beyond reproach. Luo Chen was practically someone she’d watched grow up, and he was steady in his actions since childhood.

If he and Yanyan really clicked, she wouldn’t oppose it. But she kept these thoughts to herself, waiting to see what would happen in the future.

That day, Luo Qiao received a call from Zhou Guifang: "Qiaoqiao, do you have time today?"

As soon as Luo Qiao heard this, she asked, "Is something the matter?"

Zhou Guifang sounded anxious: "Your grandfather has been feeling weak and dizzy these past few days. I always feel he’s not in good spirits, but he doesn’t want to go to the hospital."

Luo Qiao was also worried when she heard this: "Then why did you just call me now?"

Zhou Guifang explained: "Your grandfather always says he’s fine and doesn’t want to disturb your work. He said he would call on the weekend, but I’m worried about him, so I called you behind his back."

"I understand, I’ll arrange my work and head back."

Luo Qiao had always been very concerned about their health. Hearing about her grandfather’s constant dizziness and fatigue made her quite nervous. After all, no matter how skilled she was in medicine, some things were beyond her control.

After arranging her work, Luo Qiao called her brothers to let them know they should come back if they had time.

When she got home, she saw her parents were there too: "Mom and Dad, you’re back as well?"

Luo Haotian saw his daughter come in: "Quick, take a look at your grandfather."

Luo Qiao didn’t waste any time, she went over to check: "It’s best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination."

Luo Daoren said, "As people age, health issues are inevitable, there’s no need to go to the hospital."

Luo Haotian could not agree, so he asked Gu Qianru to notify Big Brother and his little brother’s families while he found clothes to change the old man into, ignoring what the old man said, and took him directly to the car.

Luo Qiao quickly contacted her brothers again to explain the situation so they wouldn’t return to an empty house.

When the old man’s test results came out, Luo Qiao was disheartened—chronic heart failure, only manageable with medication, complete recovery was impossible given his age.

Luo Daoren told himself that there might be something wrong with his body, but he refused to be hospitalized, so there was no choice but to take him back home.

Luo Haotian originally planned to take him to the newly renovated house, but Luo Daoren refused no matter what.

The old man was very stubborn, so everyone discussed it and had to take him back to the old house first.
