Chapter 1231: Chapter 1231: Two Old Men Chapter 1231: Chapter 1231: Two Old Men The following day after rising, Luo Liansheng prepared gifts and let Ling Ruonan take him to see Ling Jinhua.

Luo Ziling naturally followed along.

Before going, Ling Ruonan called Ling Jinhua’s secretary, Huang Chen, to inform him of the visit.

But what none of the three expected was, upon their arrival at the old mansion, as the car drove into the courtyard, they actually saw Ling Jinhua standing on the steps of the courtyard, waiting for them.

Ling Jinhua was a generation above Luo Liansheng, a revered backbone of the nation.

Ling Jinhua was born in the 1920s, participated in the Anti-Japanese War and the subsequent Civil War, and also took part in the Korean War and the subsequent Vietnam War. In the self-defense counterattack, he commanded the troops of an army, fought all the way to the areas of the Tang Dynasty’s Jiaozhou, and almost captured the capital of the neighboring country to the south. He was a commander with an outstanding record of victory and also a figure at the pinnacle of power with great prestige.

Many guests visited every year, of course, those who could enter were all very revered individuals.

But there were almost none who could be greeted personally at the door by him.

Even when Lin Zeping and Wang Zhengqiang, who currently held the highest positions, visited, he would not greet them at the door.

Luo Ziling was not aware of these circumstances, but Ling Ruonan knew them very clearly, hence when the car entered the courtyard and she saw Ling Jinhua standing at the door to greet them, she was stunned and then very excited.

Luo Liansheng, seeing Ling Jinhua greet him at the door, was also somewhat surprised.

“Elder, I’ve come to see you,” Luo Liansheng walked quickly forward, stopped a meter away from Ling Jinhua, and paid his respects as a junior; after performing the greetings, he chuckled, “The elder seems to be in a good spirit, looking like you will live well beyond a hundred years.”

“Thanks to your good grandson, otherwise I might not have been able to see you, might’ve checked in with Old Ma at the beginning of the year,” Ling Jinhua chuckled and motioned for Luo Liansheng to dispense with formalities.

“Grandpa, it’s cold outside, let’s go inside,” Ling Ruonan stepped forward, took hold of Ling Jinhua’s arm, and then called to Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling as well, “Come in quickly, let’s talk inside.”

Huang Chen supported Ling Jinhua’s other arm, trying to help him inside along with Ling Ruonan.

But Ling Jinhua waved his hand, freeing himself from Huang Chen’s support, and made a joke, “I’m not so old that I can’t walk on my own yet.”

Ling Ruonan hurriedly said, “Grandpa, you’re getting younger and younger, you look a lot more spirited than last year.”

Walking alongside Ling Jinhua into the house, Luo Liansheng said with a chuckle, “Elder, I’m afraid I need to say something disagreeable. Ziling has extended your life, which otherwise, Lord Yama would have claimed.”

“Haha,” Ling Jinhua was not offended and laughed loudly, then said, “It seems I owe you and your son a great debt.”

“We are not about to ask the elder for anything.” After Ling Ruonan helped Ling Jinhua sit down, Luo Liansheng also sat and spoke very seriously, “I think the elder must have your own plans.”

After sitting down, Ling Jinhua’s eyes, beaming with intelligence, unwaveringly stared at Luo Liansheng, “Your not asking is the highest demand of all.”

Luo Liansheng did not mind Ling Jinhua’s intense gaze, still smiling, “I only have one son, and my son only has this one son; the Luo Family has been single lineage for several generations, and now I am old, I do not wish for the Luo Family to end without heirs.”

“I don’t want my precious granddaughter to be left without a son either,” Ling Jinhua pointed to Ling Ruonan standing by his side, and to Luo Ziling, “However, they are both very capable, their exceptional abilities are beyond expectation, they do not need my guidance, they do not require my frequent help, they can handle matters on their own.”

“No matter how talented they are, they can’t ward off the harm from some mean small-minded people.”

“Baojian Peak is sharpest from constant honing, and plum blossoms smell all the sweeter for the frost that forms them; a little hardship is not a bad thing,” Ling Jinhua picked up the tea served by Huang Chen, sipped it slowly, and as he drank, he added, “You can be reassured, the things of the past won’t happen again.”

Luo Liansheng also drank tea, talking while sipping, “I will remember the words you just said, elder. If any uncontrollable events arise next time, I will come to find you personally.”

Ling Jinhua smiled, set down his teacup, and with another smile said, “I hear you like drinking tea. I often have good tea here. If you ever want some, feel free to come by anytime.”

Luo Liansheng immediately agreed, “Great, whenever I run out of tea, I’ll come over to ask for some from your elder self.”

The two old men didn’t talk about concrete matters, but spoke as though solving riddles, subtly hinting at things.

But both Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling knew that Ling Jinhua had made a promise to Luo Liansheng.

It could also be said that Ling Jinhua had offered Luo Liansheng exceptional treatment, and its purpose was clear without being stated.

Luo Liansheng didn’t stay at the Ling Family Old Mansion for long, nor did he stay for lunch. After having some tea, he took his leave.

Ling Jinhua didn’t try to keep him there, letting Luo Liansheng go.

This time, Ling Jinhua didn’t escort Luo Liansheng out. Secretary Huang Chen did it on his behalf.

While Huang Chen was seeing them off, Luo Ziling asked softly if there were any troubles.

Huang Chen shook his head. “Everything is fine now.”

Luo Ziling didn’t inquire further and just smiled at Huang Chen.

Huang Chen returned the smile.

Lunch was eaten outside, at a high-class restaurant arranged by Ling Ruonan.

After lunch, Luo Liansheng said he had more people to visit and was ready to leave.

Knowing that Luo Liansheng didn’t have a car, Ling Ruonan immediately arranged for several of her bodyguards and a car for him, which Luo Liansheng accepted without any refusal.

After Luo Liansheng left, Ling Ruonan told Luo Ziling to go back to school on his own as she had to deal with business matters at the Northern Group.

Luo Ziling first went to give Huang Chen’s mother a medical treatment, then returned to school.

The winter break was coming soon, and before that, there would be the New Year. The student-organized New Year celebration show would take place tonight before everyone left school.

This time, Luo Ziling didn’t sign up to participate, but Luo Yuqing, Yang Qingyin, and Ouyang Huihui all had performances.

The Marxism-Leninism Teacher mentioned several times that he wanted to introduce them to the stunning beauty Dai Shulan, who also had a performance.

For the sake of these beauties, Luo Ziling just had to attend as a spectator no matter what.

By the time Luo Ziling got back to his dorm, it was almost time for dinner in the school cafeteria.

Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang, who were about to go have dinner, were all surprised to see Luo Ziling’s return.

Cao Jianhui exclaimed in a mix of shock and delight, “Boss, with so many goddesses performing today, you’re not acting as their foil? What brought you back?”

“Yeah,” Wu Longjiang joined in, with a shameless expression, “With all those beauties, you should be acting as the Flower Protector. If someone else takes advantage of them, you’ll just be left crying.”

Li Fuming was even more shameless, “How about we form a Flower Protector Squad? You can be the leader and ensure their safety?”

As they were joking around, there was a gentle knock on the dorm room door, followed by a pleasant woman’s voice, “Is anyone there?”
