Chapter 1351: Chapter 1351: Let’s Discuss It Ourselves

Ouyang Feifei’s appointed people are quite capable of handling their tasks.

The workers they hired are also very professional.

Originally, these people had planned to go home for the New Year, but their bosses offered them a salary five times their usual daily wage, plus a hefty bonus for the holiday. Thoughts of going home for the New Year were swiftly dismissed.

The income from the few days over the New Year was equivalent to more than a month’s earnings. After these tasks were done, making a trip home would mean almost the same. Therefore, on the 29th day of the lunar month, the renovation of the old mansion continued.

Luo Ziling had not visited the old mansion for three days, and within those three days, changes tantamount to "earth-shattering" had taken place.

All traces that Luo Liankai and Luo Lianguan had once lived here were erased.

The former pool in the front courtyard, which had been filled in, was excavated anew.

All temporary structures were dismantled, and the previously cluttered front courtyard was restored to its original elegance and tidiness.

The entire old mansion’s courtyards had been thoroughly cleaned, and the wooden structures received a coat of eco-friendly, odorless varnish. This colorless varnish, architecturally known as clear lacquer, is primarily meant to shield wooden structures with a protective film to prevent aging due to exposure to air.

All damages to the walls were also repaired, and broken wooden boards or walls were largely replaced.

In short, at a glance, Luo Family Old Mansion now is completely different from what it was just a fortnight ago, having undergone a transformation.

Especially the back courtyard, where the change is genuinely dramatic.

The large pond in the back courtyard has been completely restored, and it is now filled with clear water.

Around the pond, numerous plum trees, peach trees, willow trees, and peonies have been planted. The plum blossoms are in full bloom, but the newly tilled soil makes the overall look a bit disjointed, not fully showcasing the beauty of the plum blossoms.

When spring arrives, with green grass sprouting and willow trees turning green, and peach blossoms blooming, then it will truly be beautiful.

"When I last visited the Ouyang Family’s place, I saw their villa with a complete South-style garden and felt quite envious," Luo Ziling remarked sentimentally to Ling Ruonan as he walked into the back garden, "Now looking at our old mansion, it seems to surpass the Ouyang Family’s villa in terms of class. Their villa may be newly designed, but it does not have the years behind it as our old mansion does, nor does it have this sense of antiquity and time, nor these exquisite carvings. I think our old mansion is even more valuable than their villa."

"Old Man Ouyang spent a total of five hundred million to build that villa," Luo Liansheng said with a chuckle, "If this old mansion were newly built and put together entirely from old materials, it would probably also cost as much."

"The garden is still a bit too small though," Luo Ziling laughed along, "The Ouyang Family’s villa doesn’t have a lot of buildings; most of it is garden space."

"Back when this house was built, it was meant to accommodate many people, so there were many rooms. To have three gardens this size is already extraordinary," Luo Yuqing added, "I’ve visited some ancient cities, and it’s rare to see such large ancient buildings there. If we maintain it well, maybe in the future drama troupes will rent it as a filming location."

Luo Ziling responded with laughter, "If a drama troupe really does come here to film, we can take advantage as the landlords and get a bit part, how about that?"

"Being an extra is too degrading, right?" Luo Yuqing rolled her eyes, "With the good looks of us siblings, we should at least be the lead actress and actor."

Luo Ziling immediately nodded in agreement: "That’s true. Maybe we should make a TV show sometime. Who knows, I might become a star!"

After hearing Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing’s playful banter, Ling Ruonan gave them a strange look, seemingly deep in thought.

The quietest one was Wuyue, who walked at the very end. Throughout the tour, she didn’t say a word and just listened silently.

Seeing Wuyue keeping a low profile, Luo Ziling took the initiative to approach her and strike up a conversation.

"Sister Wuyue, since you’re my sister, will you give me a big red envelope for New Year’s?" Luo Ziling chuckled teasingly at Wuyue. "I know you have a high salary and also get a big annual bonus. You’re a bona fide little rich lady..."

"Do I get a red envelope too?" Luo Yuqing joined in, her face full of playful smiles. "I’m just a poor student hoping to rely on a few big red envelopes to cover my school expenses during the New Year!"

"Ask your elders," Wuyue glared at Luo Ziling impatiently, then pointed at Luo Liansheng and Ling Ruonan walking ahead, "They have money; I’m just a poor person. The money in my account isn’t even one percent of yours."

Wuyue knew exactly how many assets were in Luo Ziling’s name because she was managing a portion of them.

"Stingy," Luo Ziling rolled his eyes at Wuyue, then leaned in and whispered, "Sister Wuyue, when you get married, I will give you a super big red envelope, hehe!"

With that one sentence, Wuyue’s face turned red, and she glared at Luo Ziling resentfully, ignoring him afterward.

After touring the old mansion for a while, the group drove back to the city.

After having dinner at a hotel, Ling Ruonan called over Luo Ziling and Wuyue to discuss some matters.

Of course, it was about the countermeasures they needed to take after Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun went to Yanjing and did a few things there.

"Ling Zhengping and Ling Haining will also return to Yanjing tomorrow to have the reunion dinner with the two old gentlemen. The others from the Ling Family who can make it will go to the old mansion," Ling Ruonan said in a soft voice. "If what Wuyue investigated is correct, during this period, Ling Zhengping and Ling Haining have been taking advantage of their absence from Yanjing to scheme many things, although basically none have succeeded. I can’t believe my own brother would harbor such resentment against me, his little sister."

"What comes around goes around," Luo Ziling smiled. "I hope Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun can give these people a painful lesson, making them think twice before they act. These past few months, they have plotted so many things against us, we should really hit back, or they’ll start treating us like easy targets. Silence is golden, but when we make a move, it’s going to be earth-shattering. It’s not convenient to deal with the older folks, but those of my generation, like Ling Haining, must taste the bitterness of their own doing."

"What we need to avoid is giving them leverage over us," Ling Ruonan said, perceiving Luo Ziling’s righteous indignation. "After things happen, we must be prepared for their retaliation. During our time in Yuezhou, we must avoid any accidents."

"Mom, let’s strive to leave them with no courage to even think about revenge. Okay, I mean, if we can’t do it now, we’ll work towards it as soon as possible," Luo Ziling chuckled. "After the New Year, when we return to Yanjing, I’ll find some helpers and make a few more moves to make those people apprehensive and fearful. They’ve bullied us enough these past few months."

Ling Ruonan didn’t respond immediately but stayed silent.

"Mom, there are some things you don’t need to get involved with; Wuyue and I can discuss and handle them," Luo Ziling said.

Ling Ruonan looked up in surprise at Luo Ziling.

But upon seeing the flicker of excitement on Luo Ziling’s face, she eventually nodded.
