Chapter 1336: Chapter 1336: The Perception of Life

Luo Ziling knew that everything Ouyang Feifei did in Yuezhou had her own purposes.

Now it seemed that most of her goals had been achieved, at least Ling Ruonan’s balance had tipped in her favor.

Luo Liansheng also had a very good opinion of Ouyang Feifei.

Winning the special regard of both Luo Liansheng and Ling Ruonan was Ouyang Feifei’s aim.

Luo Ziling admitted what Ling Ruonan had just said; he also had good feelings for Ouyang Feifei, even emotional feelings.

He had met Ouyang Feifei before Yang Qingyin, and the impression that Ouyang Feifei left on him during her teenage years was very good.

It’s true that the tender feelings of youth can occupy a significant weight in one’s lifetime.

Plus, Ouyang Feifei once had an engagement with him, so this woman’s place in his heart was really special.

Already significant, compounded with the numerous interactions over the past half-year, he couldn’t deny his feelings for Ouyang Feifei which certainly transcended those of ordinary friends.

If there was no Yang Qingyin, or if Yang Qingyin left him, he felt that the most likely choice for a partner would be Ouyang Feifei.

However, the relationship he currently had with Yang Qingyin was not something Ouyang Feifei could compare to.

He still hoped to be with Yang Qingyin---even though he had that kind of history with Lin Lan and Chen Xiaoyi, he still felt this way.

Therefore, after hearing Ling Ruonan state her intentions so directly, he suddenly didn’t know how to respond.

Seeing Luo Ziling standing there, dumbstruck and not answering, Ling Ruonan sighed, then continued: "In truth, a mother should not interfere with her son’s feelings, but as someone who cares about you most from the outside, I still hope you can think more rationally. You know that Yang Yunlin, upon finding out that Yang Qingyin followed you to Yuezhou to have fun, flew into another rage. He immediately called her back, and he even hit her. Yesterday, he called me and we had an argument. He made it very clear, he will never allow you two to be together, unless he’s dead."

"He actually called you?" Luo Ziling was very surprised.

Ling Ruonan nodded and sighed again: "Believe me, you are well aware of how difficult it will be for you to be with Yang Qingyin. This is not simply a case of two families bearing grudges against each other, but hatred between two clans. Now, your grandfather is back and you are back, your father has also come out from Tibet. The Yang Family definitely does not wish to see all this. These matters have infuriated them, especially Yang Yunlin. There are some things I haven’t told you yet. I have in my hands plenty of evidence that Yang Yunlin wants your father and you dead. Just think about it, your parents are mortal enemies; imagine how difficult it will be for you two to be together."

After a pause, Ling Ruonan added: "If you two insist on being together, what should your father and I do about confronting Yang Yunlin and Chen Qiaoyu?"

Luo Ziling lowered his head and said softly, "Mom, do you regret being with my father?"

"If we had known there would be so many hardships ahead, we definitely wouldn’t have been together. Well, let me put it another way, if we were to consider our past with our current mindset, then we indeed shouldn’t have been so stubborn about being together. Even if we wanted to be together, we shouldn’t have done it in that way, but rather through other means. A person, in their lifetime, is definitely not going to fall in love with just one person; it’s when you encounter someone you like in life that you start to fall in love with them. For instance, if your dad and I hadn’t met, I wouldn’t have spent my life not falling for someone else. Even, it’s possible that after marrying Yang Yunfeng, feelings could have developed. You can’t imagine how I have survived these twenty-some years, unable to reunite with your dad, unable to raise you as you grew up. Even though I had someone I liked, even though I had feelings I cared about the most, compared to what I lost, those past loves pale in comparison. For the sake of love, we caused many others to suffer alongside us, caused you to leave your mother’s side in your infancy, and only after twenty years did you get the chance to meet your parents. For love, we caused such a tragedy to happen, we really shouldn’t..."

At this point, Ling Ruonan could no longer continue speaking; her eyes reddened.

Luo Ziling didn’t know how to interject. His understanding of life and relationships was still quite naive and simple, totally unable to compare with someone like Ling Ruonan who had experienced so many hardships and had such a rich life experience.

Of course, he felt that what Ling Ruonan said made sense, but he didn’t want to accept it.

Perhaps, many years later, he would share Ling Ruonan’s sentiments, but for now, he still believed feelings were more important than anything else.

Just like Ling Ruonan back in her days.

Ling Ruonan was also a very simple person back then.

When everyone is young, they have naive and childlike thoughts that if they have love, they have everything.

Little do they know, in life, love is just an important aspect, while responsibilities sometimes weigh much more than love—the responsibilities of being a husband, a wife, a father, a mother, a son. If you can’t fulfill these responsibilities, even if you have love, there will be many regrets in life.

Ling Ruonan felt that her thoughts back then were too simple, very naive. She was clear that young people are like this; Luo Ziling now and her back then are the same. People without life experiences think simply.

Therefore, she still hoped she could persuade Luo Ziling to make a practical choice.

But she was afraid of Luo Ziling having a rebellious mindset, so after saying so much in one breath, she softly added, "Of course, how to choose in the end is still up to you. Mom just feels that Ouyang Feifei is more suitable for you. You have feelings for each other, and she also likes you, willing to help you with many things, and in every aspect, she is not inferior to Yang Qingyin. If you insist on choosing Yang Qingyin, then mom won’t forcefully separate you two. However, you need to think carefully about the consequences, and also consider whether Yang Qingyin might take the initiative to back off. Love is love, and marriage is marriage. Love is the foundation of marriage, but love doesn’t necessarily lead to marriage. Two people in love being together don’t necessarily find happiness. Two people with a bland relationship might end up having a peaceful and harmonious life together. Of course, these things, you’ll understand only after you’ve experienced them."

Luo Ziling didn’t directly answer Ling Ruonan’s proposition, but just gave a bitter smile and retorted, "Mom, did you rush all the way here to Yuezhou just to talk to me about this?"

"I wasn’t planning to speak to you about this today, I was going to come over during the New Year anyway." Ling Ruonan said and stood up, "I only thought of talking about these things after seeing Luo Yuqing come over to find you to play today."

Actually, she also wanted to say that after coming to Yuezhou, she was triggered by past feelings, and that’s why she had so much to say.

"Mom, what’s going on now?" Luo Ziling looked surprised, "Why do you have such a bias against Luo Yuqing?"

"If you two were siblings, mom wouldn’t object to your close relationship; you could help each other. But if you’re not siblings, mom thinks it’s better for you not to be so close. She’s too dominant, and her feelings are too exposed. If you two were together, she would try her best to dictate your life. Also, she is too warm to others, and after marriage, when feelings tire out, she might actively seek other relationships."

"..." Listening to Ling Ruonan speak like this, Luo Ziling was suddenly dumbfounded.
