Chapter 1358: Chapter 1358: Both Annoyed and Angry

The long-absent Ouyang Huihui unexpectedly showed up in Yuezhou, which left Luo Ziling totally dumbfounded.

"What happened?" Seeing Luo Ziling stand up to answer a call and then freeze, Luo Yuqing was quite surprised.

Ling Ruonan also looked at Luo Ziling with a puzzled face.

Luo Ziling, feeling awkward, honestly explained, "Ouyang Huihui called, saying she has come to Yuezhou and took a taxi, but she can’t find our Luo Family Old Mansion."

This statement from Luo Ziling made everyone’s face change.

Luo Liansheng also frowned, "Old Man Ouyang’s granddaughter, why did she suddenly come to Yuezhou?"

"I don’t know, I haven’t been in contact with her for a long time," Luo Ziling said with a distressed face, but quickly made a decision, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, since she’s here, let’s bring her over, to avoid any accidents. It’s snowing outside, and it’s New Year’s Eve."

"Hurry up and take a few people to pick her up," after glancing at Luo Liansheng and Luo Xusheng, Ling Ruonan made a decision for them, "make sure no accidents happen."

"Alright, I’ll go right now," said Luo Ziling, grabbing his coat that was hanging nearby and heading out.

Although Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun weren’t in Yuezhou, several of Wuyue’s men still came to Yuezhou with Luo Ziling. He randomly picked a strong man and asked a sober bodyguard to drive and go pick her up with him.

The snow was quite heavy. Inside the headlight beams, it was all densely packed snowflakes, and there was also snow accumulated on the road, though fortunately not too thick.

The driver was pretty good, keeping the car stable, but didn’t dare to speed, fearing losing control.

Ouyang Huihui had just said that the taxi she was in had left the city and was coming from the direction of Orchid Pavilion on the provincial road.

After entering the provincial road, Luo Ziling called Ouyang Huihui to ask her exact location.

But Ouyang Huihui couldn’t specify the place clearly, and after asking the driver, she only mentioned that it was a few kilometers from Orchid Pavilion on the provincial road.

After getting the taxi’s license number, Luo Ziling asked Ouyang Huihui to instruct the driver to stop on the roadside and wait, he would come and pick her up.

Ouyang Huihui followed his instructions and had the driver pull over and park.

After ending the call with Ouyang Huihui, Luo Ziling then called Ouyang Feifei.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

"Hello, Ziling?"

"Huihui ran off to Yuezhou, didn’t you all know?" Luo Ziling was quite angry, and thus spoke a bit aggressively.

"What?!" Ouyang Feifei, who was having the New Year’s Eve dinner with her family, was shocked, "She said this morning that she was going to party with some classmates as an end-of-year celebration, and wouldn’t be home for the reunion dinner. How could she run off to Yuezhou?"

Ouyang Feifei understood without needing Luo Ziling to reply that Ouyang Huihui’s talk of partying with classmates was just an excuse.

Her real intention was to go to Yuezhou to find Luo Ziling.

Realizing this, Ouyang Feifei was both angry and annoyed.

Yet, she was quite rational, and after apologizing to Luo Ziling, she still hoped that Luo Ziling could take good care of Ouyang Huihui and ensure no accidents happened.

After hanging up with Luo Ziling, Ouyang Feifei called Ouyang Huihui again.

But Ouyang Huihui didn’t answer the phone, it was the same after two calls. Finally, Ouyang Feifei sent a message, furiously scolding Ouyang Huihui, and said she would report this to Grandpa to punish her.

Luo Ziling quickly spotted a taxi parked on the roadside. Upon seeing the taxi, he immediately instructed the driver to stop the car and got out quickly.

Most families were still having their New Year’s Eve dinner at this time, so there were few cars on the road besides the parked taxi.

This made Luo Ziling both angry and anxious. What if the taxi driver had ill intentions and kidnapped Ouyang Huihui?

However, when he opened the taxi door, he paused for a moment. To his relief, the taxi driver was also a woman, an auntie-aged lady.

Wrapped in a red down jacket, Ouyang Feifei looked pitiful as she sat quietly in the back seat, her face blank.

Upon seeing Luo Ziling open the door, she immediately showed a surprised and delighted expression.

"Ziling, you finally came," she said, tears rolling down her face.

The driving auntie couldn’t help but remark, "Ah, such a devoted girl. She came all the way from the Capital to spend the New Year with you and she’s so beautiful too. Young man, you’re truly fortunate. It’s the New Year and it’s snowing heavily. I was so worried because I couldn’t find your address. Now that I’ve safely handed her over to you, I’m relieved."

"Thank you for bringing her here," Luo Ziling thanked the driver and took Ouyang Huihui’s luggage. He then took her hand, preparing to help her out of the car.

"I rushed out and forgot to bring enough cash," Ouyang Huihui said, looking embarrassed, "I don’t have enough cash on me to pay the taxi fare."

Luo Ziling took out his wallet and gave all the money inside to the taxi driver: "Thank you. Here’s the fare."

Luo Ziling had about two thousand yuan in his wallet, which was more than needed for the taxi fare even on New Year’s Eve from Yuezhou North Station.

The driving auntie counted out five bills and returned the rest of the money to Luo Ziling: "Five hundred is enough, no need for so much."

"Auntie, it’s New Year’s Eve, finish up early and go back to be with your family. Have a good New Year’s Eve dinner and a reunion drink," Luo Ziling didn’t take the money, pulled Ouyang Huihui out and closed the car door.

Good deeds should be rewarded!

Ouyang Huihui opened the door, thanked the driving auntie again, then clutched Luo Ziling’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

After getting into the car, the driver immediately turned around and headed towards the Luo Family Old Mansion.

This place was just about three kilometers away from the Luo Family Old Mansion.

"Have you had dinner?" Luo Ziling asked Ouyang Huihui.

"No!" Ouyang Huihui replied miserably, "I wanted to see you as soon as possible, so I got off and looked for a car immediately. For safety, I only chose cars driven by female drivers, which delayed me quite a bit. I didn’t bring any food when I left, and on such a day, there’s nowhere to buy any food, so I’ve been hungry all this time."

Feeling both cold and hungry was really uncomfortable. Now it was already 7:30 PM, and more than two hours had passed since she got off the train.

When the driver couldn’t find the village where the Luo Family Old Mansion was located, Ouyang Huihui started to feel desperate.

Originally, she wanted to surprise Luo Ziling and didn’t want to call him, but she had no choice but to muster the courage to make the call.

Fortunately, Luo Ziling didn’t scold her, and instead, he asked with concern about how she was feeling. She clung to Luo Ziling’s arm, tears flowing uncontrollably down her face.

Luo Ziling didn’t notice Ouyang Huihui crying, and he knew this wasn’t the time to blame her as it would only make her feel worse.

"We were just having dinner. The dinner is quite lavish; try some of our Yuezhou dishes later and eat more. Make sure to dress warmly and don’t catch a cold!"

"Okay," Ouyang Huihui was moved by Luo Ziling’s concern. Instantly, it warmed her heart, and the fear she felt while making her bold move earlier turned into a feeling of warmth and even happiness.
