Chapter 1078 - Chapter 1078 Chapter 1078 Out of the Ordinary

Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Out of the Ordinary Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Out of the Ordinary After finishing his morning exercise, Luo Ziling went to the cafeteria for breakfast, then headed to the classroom for class.

The first day after the New Year’s short holiday, Luo Ziling conscientiously attended classes in the classroom.

In the afternoon, after class, he visited Ling Ruonan, who carefully explained what to pay attention to during tomorrow’s event with Ling Jinhua.

After listening to Ling Ruonan’s instructions, Luo Ziling told her about the matters Yang Qingyin had reminded him of the night before.

Of course, he did not mention that it was Yang Qingyin’s reminder, but told Ling Ruonan that he considered it himself.

“There is certainly that implication,” Ling Ruonan was surprised that Luo Ziling had such concerns and felt relieved, “I think, the Great Grandfather asking you to accompany him is not for only one reason. What you mentioned is indeed one of his purposes, but it’s a secondary one. His main purpose is probably to stimulate the younger generation of the Ling Family to develop a sense of crisis. Additionally, the Great Grandfather is also concerned about his health, which is why he wants you by his side. Maybe, he will also introduce you to some people, as a kind of reward for you!”

“People like the Great Grandfather always have their motives,” Luo Ziling said with a bitter smile, “It seems that in future, when interacting with the Great Grandfather, or when he has some instructions, I need to think carefully, otherwise it might lead to trouble.”

“Your Great Grandfather and your grandfather have not given up on using you as a whetstone,” Ling Ruonan said solemnly, “After observing for this period and with all that has happened, their view of you has significantly changed. They are taking you more seriously now, which is both good and bad. Whether it turns out to be good or bad in the end depends on how you handle it. However, Mom believes in you, that you can manage all these matters well.”

“Mom, thank you for your trust. If there’s anything unclear, I will definitely ask you,” Luo Ziling’s heart warmed by the care and trust from Ling Ruonan.

“As long as you’re aware of this, then I have nothing to worry about.” Luo Ziling said, reaching out to gently stroke Luo Ziling’s cheek in a loving manner, “If anything comes up tomorrow, feel free to call me!”

Luo Ziling enjoyed the naturally expressed maternal love from Ling Ruonan and smiled, “Mom, if I’m free tomorrow evening and there are no business events, can I come over for dinner?”

“Of course, no problem,” Ling Ruonan would certainly not refuse, “Let’s touch base tomorrow afternoon! If it’s convenient, then come back for dinner. If needed, dine with the Great Grandfather, and visit afterward.”

Luo Ziling naturally agreed.

That night, he stayed at Ling Ruonan’s place.

Early the next day, Luo Ziling accompanied Ling Ruonan to the Ling Family Old Mansion.

On the way, Ling Ruonan gave Luo Ziling detailed instructions, urging him to be very cautious and not to cause any trouble or do anything embarrassing. All Luo Ziling could do in response to Ling Ruonan’s commands was agree.

Upon arriving at the old mansion, Ling Jinhua was preparing to leave, and after Luo Ziling paid his respects, he also checked Ling Jinhua’s health.

Despite the cold weather, Ling Jinhua’s body was still recovering well, and Luo Ziling did not find anything particularly worrisome.

Secretary Huang Chen had already prepared everything.

Hearing from Luo Ziling that the Old Mr. Ling was unharmed, he then gave instructions to the other staff members, ready to set out.

Ling Jinhua’s vehicle was just an ordinary red-flag sedan and rather old.

The Old Mr. Ling’s entourage was not large, consisting only of a lead car and security vehicle, and there was no traffic control.

However, the plates on the car indicated the Old Mr. Ling’s identity, and no one dared to stop it or any luxury car dared to contest its presence.

Not only has the Old Mr. Ling retired, but even when he was active, his travel arrangements were mostly like this, unless it was a significant national event. He hated causing inconvenience to the public and did not wish for special treatment. His stubbornness once nearly led to an incident.

Luo Ziling sat next to Ling Jinhua, with just the two of them in the back seat, and Secretary Huang Chen sat in the passenger seat.

The car had indeed been modified with sound insulation. When activated, people in the front could not hear the conversations in the back. The sound insulation in the car was different from that in Ouyang Feifei’s car.

On the way, Luo Ziling and Ling Jinhua chatted casually.

Because of confidentiality, Ling Jinhua’s itinerary was kept secret up until his departure, and at least the staff members dared not disclose it.

But since Ling Jinhua spoke about it himself, it did not breach any confidentiality principles.

Luo Ziling learned today’s schedule from Ling Jinhua’s own words–it turned out that he was to attend a high-level meeting.

At this tea party, all the most influential people in Huaxia, except for a few who were abroad, would participate.

Luo Ziling did not expect that Ling Jinhua would take him to such a high-level meeting. Knowing that Ling Mingrui and other influential figures, including Yang Yuanshan, Fang Xiang, Chen Ruchang, and others would attend, he felt a pang of anxiety.

“Could it be that the Old Mr. Ling is setting me up as a target for these people?” Luo Ziling initially thought the Old Mr. Ling’s worst intention was to provoke the Ling Family’s resentment by bringing him along, but he realized that the situation was even more complicated than he had thought.

If Yang Yuanshan saw him, would he take the opportunity to mock him, make him lose face publicly, or get him into trouble?

And there was Chen Ruchang, who held even greater animosity toward the Luo Family!

Luo Ziling knew that when his grandfather Luo Liansheng eloped with his grandmother, who was the Miss Chen from the Chen Family, the two most infuriated people were Chen Ruchang and his father, Chen Jixiu.

His grandmother, officially named Chen Ruchang, was Chen Jixiu’s daughter and Chen Ruchang’s older sister.

At that time, Chen Ruchang did not want his sister to marry Luo Liansheng and tried every means to obstruct their relationship, even resorting to physical fights. Naturally, he was no match for the highly skilled in martial arts Luo Liansheng, who ended up throwing him into a filthy ditch.

Because of these entanglements, Chen Ruchang despised Luo Liansheng, even more than his father did.

When Luo Xusheng struggled to establish himself in Yanjing and was finally sent away to Tibet, Chen Ruchang had played dirty tricks behind the scenes.

The head of the Fang Family, Fang Xiang, however, maintained a good relationship with Luo Liansheng.

Hearing from Ling Jinhua that all these people would attend today’s New Year tea party, Luo Ziling grew increasingly apprehensive.

However, faced with Ling Jinhua’s unusual gaze, he quickly regained his composure.

“Being able to meet so many illustrious predecessors today is indeed a fortunate occasion,” he said, then revealed a genuinely happy smile.

Ling Jinhua just smiled lightly and said nothing more.
