Chapter 1216 - Chapter 1216 Chapter 1216 Well Done

Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216: Well Done Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216: Well Done Luo Ziling brought Huang Long back to the hotel and treated his injuries.

Yang Xiaodong, following Luo Ziling’s instructions, withdrew twenty thousand in cash from the bank and gave it to Huang Long.

Luo Ziling told Huang Long that the compensation money would all be his, but not right now.

Huang Long was muddled by today’s events and was also somewhat listless due to the beating he had received, so he simply went along with whatever Yang Xiaodong and Luo Ziling said to him.

Today, Luo Ziling and Yang Xiaodong had avenged him, beating up those hooligans and even getting the police on their side; he was extremely grateful to them.

His own younger brother had also come to the scene, which eased his anger a little.

He had been beaten up, but the substantial amount of money he got in return made him feel it was “worth it.”

Therefore, his mood wasn’t too bad.

During dinner, Ling Ruonan also came to visit.

She brought Huang Long and his mother some fruits and nutritious supplements, along with a middle-aged woman.

Ling Ruonan told Huang Long that she had arranged for this nanny to take care of their day-to-day life so that the chore would not be burdensome for the old grandmother. She had Wuyue rent the room next to Huang Long’s mother’s to facilitate better care.

Luo Ziling was quite surprised by Ling Ruonan’s arrangements.

Huang Long was also very surprised and hurriedly refused, but eventually accepted after being persuaded by Luo Ziling.

Ling Ruonan introduced herself as a friend of Huang Chen’s, without mentioning she was from the Ling Family.

With friends helping out, and since she was Luo Ziling’s mother, Huang Long felt there was no problem.

Just as Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan were about to bid farewell and leave for dinner, Huang Chen’s wife, Wu Xiaozhen, arrived with their daughter who had just finished school, to visit her mother-in-law.

Wu Xiaozhen, an editor at the military newspaper and deputy head of a department, was originally from the Northeast. Their ten-year-old daughter, in the third grade of elementary school, was very cute, evidently inheriting the best features of both Huang Chen and Wu Xiaozhen.

Wu Xiaozhen arrived to visit her mother-in-law still in her military uniform.

Her rank of lieutenant colonel, sporting two bars and two stars, was rather inconsequential in Yanjing.

Both Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling were meeting Wu Xiaozhen for the first time.

Wu Xiaozhen recognized Ling Ruonan since Ling Ruonan was quite famous.

In fact, she was familiar with the main figures in the Ling Family.

Naturally, this was related to Huang Chen working as the Confidential Secretary for Ling Jinhua.

Wu Xiaozhen was surprised to see that both Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling had come to visit and offer help.

She wasn’t aware that Luo Ziling was there to treat her mother-in-law’s ailment, as Huang Chen hadn’t told her about this.

Entering with her daughter and seeing a room full of people, she was startled.

After Ling Ruonan gave Wu Xiaozhen a quick rundown of the situation, she didn’t stay much longer and left the hotel with Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin.

Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin got into Ling Ruonan’s private car.

“Mom, you haven’t had dinner yet, right? Today, I’ll treat you to a big meal,” Luo Ziling chuckled upon entering the car, “I’m paying.”

“Just pick a place casually,” Ling Ruonan didn’t have much of a preference.

Yang Qingyin smiled and said, “Mrs. Ling, the thing Ziling loves to eat the most is seafood. How about we go for some seafood?”

“Sounds good,” Ling Ruonan had no objections.

So, they found a nearby seafood restaurant and took a private room.

After sitting down in the private room, Yang Qingyin chuckled and said to Ling Ruonan, “Mrs. Ling, I think Ziling did the right thing today. Helping Huang Chen out with such a big favor, he’s bound to be repaid.”

Ling Ruonan was a little surprised, not expecting Yang Qingyin to say such a thing.

Seeing the surprise on Ling Ruonan’s face, Yang Qingyin shared the thoughts she had discussed with Luo Ziling.

After speaking, she added, “I think Huang Chen’s word carries more weight in front of Sir Ling than most descendants of the Ling Family. His initiative in asking Ziling for help shows a very good impression of him. Ziling’s troublemaking at the old house last time didn’t put him off, but instead, he acknowledged it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t ask Ziling to help him. This is a very good thing; maybe it could even lead to his substantial gratitude in the future.”

“Senior, don’t make me sound so mercenary,” Luo Ziling interjected, “I just think Huang Chen is a decent person, very loyal and upright, so I have a pretty good impression of him. His old mother got sick and hoped I could help; of course, I’m going to help out. Today, when his brother was in trouble and couldn’t come out, he hoped I would take a look into it, so I definitely took action. Even if it’s just someone I know casually who phones me for help, I’d also lend a hand.”

Ling Ruonan didn’t immediately make a statement but leisurely sipped her tea.

Yang Qingyin didn’t say much more; she knew that in such matters, it was enough to make her intentions clear to Ling Ruonan, making her realize that her thoughts were out of the ordinary. To elaborate further on this topic might end up spoiling it.

And it really had to be said, Yang Qingyin understood more about the ways of the world than Luo Ziling did.

After finishing dinner with Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan, she took the initiative to excuse herself.

“Come home with Mom,” Ling Ruonan instructed Luo Ziling to follow her after Yang Qingyin left first.

Luo Ziling knew Ling Ruonan had something to say, so he obediently went with her.

On their way, Luo Ziling asked Ling Ruonan, “Mom, do you think we did the right thing today?”

“You did well,” Ling Ruonan nodded, “Those gangsters are not good people, and their money is ill-gotten. Using ill-gotten wealth to save those in need, with the police as witnesses too, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

After a pause, Ling Ruonan continued, “What Yang Qingyin said was indeed not wrong. By doing this, establishing a good relationship with Huang Chen will be very beneficial for us. Huang Chen has a lot of sway with the Great Grandfather, and he’s highly trusted by him. In some matters, if he could speak up for us, it would make a big difference. If he could share some of the Great Grandfather’s thoughts with us, it would be very advantageous for us too.”

“Mom, you’ve been maintaining a pretty good relationship with him over the years for this reason, right?”

Ling Ruonan nodded, not denying it.

Luo Ziling then said, “Mom, tomorrow I’ll go with you to visit the old house and treat Sir Ling again.”

Luo Ziling voluntarily offered to treat Sir Ling, which somewhat surprised Ling Ruonan. After thinking for a moment, she asked, “Do you have anything else you want to say to him?”

“I want to tell Great Grandfather about treating Huang Chen’s mother and discuss their family’s situation with him.”

“That’s fine,” Ling Ruonan nodded in approval, then cautioned, “But be careful how you do it.”

“I know.”

“Be cautious with Chen Yining and Jiang Nan, since you’ve had public disputes with them; they won’t let it go so easily.”

“Mom, it doesn’t matter,” Luo Ziling smiled, “Even if I didn’t confront them in public, with Chen Jiahai around, and then there’s grandmother’s situation, the Chen Family wouldn’t be fond of me anyway.”

“Chen Xiaoyi isn’t too bad a person; it wouldn’t hurt to be friends with her.”

“Mom, what do you mean?” Luo Ziling was quite surprised.

Ling Ruonan just looked meaningfully at Luo Ziling without offering any explanation.
