Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: Meeting with a Smile Dissolves All Enmity Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: Meeting with a Smile Dissolves All Enmity Luo Liansheng had taken a bath and changed his clothes before he followed Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan to Ling Mingrui’s residence.

He didn’t go empty-handed, he brought some precious Chinese medicinal herbs, including a top-quality Tianshan Saussurea that even Luo Ziling was amazed at.

When they arrived at Ling Mingrui’s residence, Ling Mingrui, together with Xie Enhua, came out to greet them upon hearing their arrival.

“My dear friend, I’ve finally been looking forward to your arrival,” Xie Enhua approached with a beaming smile, looking Luo Liansheng up and down and then laughing even more cheerfully, “My friend, your physique is so much stronger than our old man’s. If someone didn’t know you both, they’d think there’s an age difference of decades between you!”

Though Luo Liansheng’s hair was somewhat graying, it did not make him appear old.

His face was ruddy with few wrinkles and no age spots to speak of; it could be said that besides his whitened hair, time had left little trace on his face. The slightly graying hair even added an air of distinguished charm.

Ling Mingrui was only a couple of years younger than Luo Liansheng, but from the skin and wrinkles, Luo Liansheng looked at least a decade younger. No wonder Xie Enhua remarked that standing together, they seemed generations apart.

“The conditions in the Northwest may be harsh, but they also refine one’s character and body. After leaving Yanjing City, I also found things I cherish, like an unpolluted living environment and convenient access to gather herbs in Tianshan. A simple lifestyle, frequent mountain climbing, and exercising have forged a robust body,” said Luo Liansheng with a laugh, pointing at Luo Ziling, “Raising these two boys to adulthood brings a great sense of accomplishment. Forget the failures, remember the satisfaction; a positive attitude keeps the body healthy.”

“I can’t compare with you,” Ling Mingrui smiled, shaking his head and then gestured invitingly, “It’s cold outside, let’s sit inside.”

Luo Liansheng handed over the gifts he was carrying to Xie Enhua, who was standing by his side, and then said with a smile, “These are a few treasures I stumbled upon while gathering herbs this year. I don’t need them myself, so I brought them for you–an exceptional Tianshan Saussurea, some Saffron, and a hundred-year-old Old Mountain Ginseng.”

Upon hearing Luo Liansheng say this, Xie Enhua couldn’t help but be astonished.

She certainly knew that the items Luo Liansheng mentioned were incredibly valuable and possibly unobtainable, even with money.

The group walked into the house together, where Ling Mingrui accompanied Luo Liansheng to sit on the sofa while Xie Enhua also took a seat nearby. Ling Ruonan quickly started to prepare tea, with Luo Ziling helping out. Soon, several steaming cups of tea were ready.

“Top-quality Da Hong Pao,” Luo Liansheng laughed upon seeing the tea in front of him, “It looks like Brother Ling also has some nice things here!”

“Here’s a little bit more,” Ling Mingrui took a delicate little box that contained the tea, handed it to Luo Liansheng, “Take it and enjoy, brother; I seldom drink it anyway.”

Da Hong Pao is so rare that many describe it as “more precious than gold.”

Indeed, one might say it’s priceless–you couldn’t buy much of it even if you offered a fortune.

Although Luo Liansheng mentioned it was only a little bit of tea, the quantity was not small, at least several ounces.

It was a substantial and weighty gift.

Luo Liansheng didn’t decline and accepted cheerfully, “Then I consider myself fortunate. Next time you get some good tea, I’ll come asking for it again.”

Ling Mingrui replied with a smile, “When I get some early-harvest Longjing, I’ll definitely invite Brother Luo over for a taste.”

“Why do you call him Brother Luo? You should call him ‘my dear friend’,” Xie Enhua corrected Ling Mingrui from the side and then asked Luo Liansheng, “Isn’t that right?”

“Dear friend? Or Brother Luo seems more heartfelt,” Ling Mingrui smiled, asking Luo Liansheng, “Right, my friend?”

“It doesn’t matter what you call me,” Luo Liansheng was indifferent, “calling me ‘brother’ also sounds very affectionate.”

Seeing Luo Liansheng and Ling Mingrui greet each other so warmly and exchange such high-standard gifts, Ling Ruonan, who had been a bit nervous, finally relaxed, and a natural smile appeared on her face.

Luo Ziling was also delighted. He knew that Luo Liansheng and Ling Mingrui used to have quite a few disputes, even coming to physical confrontations on several occasions.

Everything was because of their sons and daughters.

Back then, Ling Mingrui blamed Luo Liansheng’s son for eloping with his daughter. When he saw his daughter was pregnant, he almost went mad.

Initially, their relationship was quite good, but Ling Ruonan, who was already engaged to the son of the Yang Family, got pregnant with Luo Xusheng’s child and insisted on giving birth to it, almost driving Ling Mingrui to his grave, naturally blaming Luo Liansheng as well.

Later, during a meeting, they flipped tables and cursed at each other, almost erupting into a full-blown physical fight.

At that time, both men were in their forties and, being proud and arrogant, they almost completely fell out.

After Ling Ruonan gave birth to Luo Ziling, Luo Liansheng wanted to visit his grandson, but Ling Mingrui wouldn’t allow it.

Later, Luo Liansheng forcefully barged into the place where Ling Ruonan lived to visit his grandson.

At that time, Luo Xusheng had already been driven out of Yanjing City.

Knowing this, Ling Mingrui stormed over, furiously, and had another huge argument with Luo Liansheng.

That time, Luo Liansheng was quite ruthless, directly grabbing Ling Mingrui by the collar and lifting him up.

Fortunately, Luo Liansheng managed to control his anger and didn’t slap Ling Mingrui–although he really wanted to beat him to a pulp.

They had another conflict later when Luo Liansheng went to take the three-month-old Luo Ziling from Ling Ruonan.

During that incident, Luo Liansheng exploded in anger publicly, even kicking the approaching Ling Mingrui who came to scold him and injuring several of Ling Mingrui’s bodyguards.

If not for Ling Ruonan desperately stopping him, who knows how things would have ended.

When Luo Liansheng left with Luo Ziling in his arms, he left behind some harsh words: If anyone harmed his family across three generations, he would take their life.

He also told the tearful Ling Ruonan in front of everyone that he would definitely raise Luo Ziling and send him back to Yanjing when he became an adult.

At that time, Ling Mingrui was so furious that he almost rushed forward to fight.

Luckily, Xie Enhua held back Ling Mingrui, preventing him from acting rashly, and even almost knelt in front of him to plead.

It can be said that the conflicts the two old men had because of their children were not minor. Now, seeing their relationship like this, both Ling Ruonan and Xie Enhua were overjoyed.

And suddenly, Luo Ziling thought of a line of poetry: “After braving treacherous waves, brothers reunite; a smile dissolves all past grievances.”

This somewhat resembled the feud between him and Fang Dongxun.
