Chapter 1071 - Chapter 1071 Chapter 1071 Reminder

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: Reminder Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: Reminder The plane was delayed by half an hour before it finally arrived in Yanjing.

Returning from summer to the depth of winter, Luo Ziling surprisingly found himself struggling to adapt.

In just the few minutes it took to walk out of the cabin and board the shuttle bus, the thinly-dressed Luo Ziling already felt a chill to the bone.

This unbearable coldness made the discomfort in his heart even more pronounced.

Yang Xiaodong seemed to have finally caught on and stopped annoying Luo Ziling on the flight.

After disembarking, he took the initiative to help Luo Ziling with his luggage.

Wang Zhenjun drove to the airport to pick them up. Perhaps Yang Xiaodong or Wang Zhenjun had said something because the normally joking Wang Zhenjun refrained from making any playful remarks.

Luo Ziling didn’t know whether it was Yang Xiaodong who told Ling Ruonan about his whereabouts or if Wang Zhenjun had leaked the news, but as soon as he got out of the car, he received a call from Ling Ruonan asking him to come over to her place.

Luo Ziling, without refusing, had Wang Zhenjun drive him to Ling Ruonan’s villa.

On the last day of the New Year holiday, Ling Ruonan was resting in her own house.

By the time Luo Ziling got off the plane, it was already four in the afternoon, and it had turned dark by the time he reached Ling Ruonan’s residence.

Ling Ruonan was preparing dinner and hurried out to greet him when she saw him arrive.

“Sit and rest for a while, dinner will be ready soon,” Ling Ruonan instructed Luo Ziling with full tenderness, “Let’s talk over dinner first.”

Although Luo Ziling agreed, he didn’t sit idle and helped Ling Ruonan in the kitchen.

Seeing Luo Ziling come in, a busy Wuyue in the kitchen gave him a meaningful glance which made Luo Ziling feel a bit guilty.

During dinner, Ling Ruonan didn’t mention any business and simply engaged in small talk.

After the meal, she called Luo Ziling to the study before she began to inquire about the matters at hand.

Ling Ruonan first asked Luo Ziling about the events at the Traditional Chinese Medicine annual conference.

After hearing about Luo Ziling’s participation in the conference, she seemed quite surprised.

“These matters, when your grandfather returns to Yanjing, you should discuss them with him thoroughly. As for how to proceed, whether you should really take those few people as disciples, you might want to consult your grandfather’s opinion,” Ling Ruonan whispered her instruction, “If your grandfather really orchestrated this event, then he should have follow-up plans.”

“Sure,” Luo Ziling naturally agreed.

He did not want to teach these people his acupuncture skills; anyway, it was a bothersome matter that would take up much of his time.

He was already busy enough, he didn’t want to be this occupied.

Life was not about being busy; it was about learning to enjoy.

If his grandfather could take these people under his wing, he would be very happy.

After discussing the events of the conference, Ling Ruonan asked more seriously, “Now that Ling Zhengping and Ling Haining have taken positions in Yangcheng, have you suspected them of plotting something against you? Like the incident with Li Jianguo!”

Luo Ziling shook his head, “It could be related to them, but, I had Yang Xiaodong look into it, and he couldn’t find any leads. Ouyang Feifei should still be investigating the incident, but whether there will be any results in the end, I have no idea.”

“I’ll have someone look into this matter in detail. No matter what the relationship between Li Jianguo and Ling Zhengping is, if he dares to mess with you again, I won’t let him have a good life,” Ling Ruonan said with a murderous glint in her eyes.

“Mom, I’m not likely to go to Yangcheng much anyway, and as long as there are no repercussions from this incident, let them be,” Luo Ziling laughed, “I think, even if it was Ling Zhengping and his son who planned this, we won’t be able to find any clues.”

Luo Ziling also mentioned the warning from Li Haiyang.

After listening, Ling Ruonan’s expression grew even more serious.

However, she didn’t immediately express any opinion, only saying that she would discuss it with Luo Xusheng first, and after a thorough investigation of the situation, she would make a decision. If there indeed was a huge problem in the Sichuan Region, they definitely couldn’t go.

Then, Ling Ruonan asked about the matter between Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei.

“I heard that you two were staying in the same apartment in Yangcheng, and the rooms you stayed in were interconnected?” Ling Ruonan hurriedly added after asking this question, worried that Luo Ziling might misunderstand, “I just want to know what your current attitude toward Ouyang Feifei is. You should be aware, the Ouyang Family hasn’t given up on the marriage arrangement, and Ouyang Feifei’s behavior toward you now shows her intention to continue with the marriage.”

Luo Ziling looked very embarrassed and didn’t know how to answer.

Seeing Luo Ziling’s demeanor, Ling Ruonan couldn’t help but sigh, then continued, “I know, Ouyang Feifei hasn’t really fallen in love with you. She’s just not willing to give up. Of course, she must be somewhat fond of you now, willing to be with you, and even wants to use the marriage to solidify the Ouyang Family’s influence. If you don’t want to be with her, then maintain some distance. Do not engage in things you shouldn’t do. Women like them are not ordinary, and you can’t just shake them off if you want to. The same goes for Yang Qingyin. If you’re not ready, you should control yourself and not act recklessly.”

Although Ling Ruonan spoke indirectly, Luo Ziling understood her meaning and immediately promised, “Mom, I understand. I haven’t done anything to them, and I’ll be careful in general.”

Indeed, Ling Ruonan’s reminder was like an enlightening moment for Luo Ziling.

If he really got involved with Ouyang Feifei or Yang Qingyin, the consequences he would face would be vastly different from now.

Before engaging in such actions, he really needed to weigh his options, given that his and Ling Ruonan’s situations were currently awkward.

With that thought, he felt somewhat relieved that he had been able to stop in time that night with Qingyin and hadn’t gone through with everything. He was also relieved that the ambiguity with Feifei hadn’t crossed the line.

In truth, it had crossed the line. Except for the very last step, everything else had happened between them.

But Luo Ziling thought of something else: it’s the new century now, and both men and women are very open about these things. No one cares much about them. Especially the men and women from wealthy families, they take male-female relationships very lightly, and intimacy might not be a big deal for them.

He immediately thought of Lin Lan, and of being overpowered by her the night before.

A sense of humiliation surged in his heart, and he harbored more resentment towards Lin Lan.

After talking for about an hour, the mother and son ended their conversation around nine o’clock.

Ling Ruonan also told Luo Ziling to return to school since the New Year’s holiday was ending and classes would resume the next day, suggesting he get acclimated to school again.

Luo Ziling wanted to see Yang Qingyin, so he readily agreed.

As he was leaving Ling Ruonan’s villa, he called Yang Qingyin to ask where she was.

When returning from Shanya, Luo Ziling had messaged Yang Qingyin, telling her he would be back in Yanjing today.

In the message, Yang Qingyin told Luo Ziling to contact her after he got back.

Upon arriving at Ling Ruonan’s villa, Luo Ziling told Yang Qingyin about it, saying he would contact her after he finished talking with Ling Ruonan.

Yang Qingyin promptly replied to the message, saying she was at her own place, and invited Luo Ziling to come over.

Luo Ziling agreed.

But because of what had happened with Lin Lan the night before, as he was going to see Yang Qingyin, he couldn’t hide the nervousness in his heart.
