Chapter 883 - Chapter 883 Chapter 883 I Just Want to Complain a Bit

Chapter 883: Chapter 883: I Just Want to Complain a Bit Chapter 883: Chapter 883: I Just Want to Complain a Bit Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing chatted on WeChat for a while, and in the end, they decided to secretly obtain a sample of Luo Xusheng’s hair or bodily fluid for testing. This matter, which had perplexed them for a long time, had to be clarified as soon as possible, otherwise both of them would feel uneasy.

Luo Ziling decided to act stealthily by himself to obtain a sample of Luo Xusheng’s hair or bodily fluid and then have Luo Yuqing send it for testing.

Luo Ziling thought of a few methods: one was to spar with Luo Xusheng and make him bleed, then casually swipe some; or to look for some of his short hair on the bed where Luo Xusheng slept tomorrow. Or, he could simply pluck a few hairs from Luo Xusheng’s leg while he wasn’t paying attention.

After messaging with Luo Yuqing for a bit, Luo Ziling then returned to his room.

Ling Ruonan had already prepared the bedding for Luo Liansheng, who went to wash up and get ready for bed.

“Ling’er, you should also go to bed early. Don’t go back to school tonight, just sleep here,” Ling Ruonan came over and instructed Luo Ziling, “Tomorrow you and Grandpa have things to do, so it saves you the trip back and forth.”

Luo Ziling had wanted to return to school to sleep the previous night, which made Ling Ruonan feel uncomfortable. Fearing he might also want to go back tonight, she persisted in persuading him.

Since Grandpa was here today, Luo Ziling didn’t plan on going back, and he cheerfully agreed to sleep over.

With Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng sleeping here, Ling Ruonan felt somewhat embarrassed to have Luo Xusheng sleep in her room, so she let Luo Xusheng sleep alone.

However, Ling Ruonan’s unreasonable action was firmly stopped by Luo Ziling.

“Mom, aren’t you being a bit too unkind? Dad has come all this way to see us, he has a lot to say to you, and yet you’re so cruel to not let him sleep with you? You’re husband and wife, how can a married couple not share a room? If you don’t let Dad sleep in your room, I bet he’s going to be so upset he won’t be able to sleep,” he then pushed Luo Xusheng with a hehe laugh and said, “Dad, hurry up and go in, what are you shy for at your age? Anyway, the house is of very good quality, and the soundproofing is excellent, so even if you talk until dawn, it won’t disturb us. Even if you argue, we won’t be able to hear it.”

Luo Ziling’s words made both Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan blush with embarrassment, but before they could react, Luo Ziling had run back to his own room. After hesitating a bit, Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan ended up going back to the room together.

There were no words overnight; Luo Ziling did not eavesdrop on what his parents were doing in the evening; after all, he could imagine what they were up to.

The next day, he got up very early.

But Luo Liansheng was up even earlier and had already started practicing in the courtyard.

Luo Ziling also hurried over to join the fun and sparred with Grandpa just like back in the small mountain village.

After the two had frolicked for a while, Luo Xusheng also came out of the room and stood to the side to watch them spar.

“Go ahead and spar with each other,” seeing Luo Xusheng come out, Luo Liansheng immediately stepped aside to let Luo Ziling and Luo Xusheng have a go at each other.

Luo Xusheng didn’t refuse and immediately came over to spar with Luo Ziling.

It was unclear whether Luo Xusheng had expended too much energy the previous night or was deliberately holding back, but today Luo Xusheng performed in a restrained manner, completely lacking the fierce moves he had when testing Luo Ziling’s skills the other night, and his speed was also much slower.

As a result, after sparring for over a dozen moves, Luo Xusheng was attacked by Luo Ziling and was hit hard with Luo Ziling’s punch.

Just as Luo Xusheng was about to be struck, he reacted quickly and dodged agilely, but ultimately, he was still attacked successfully by Luo Ziling.

After attacking successfully, Luo Ziling immediately stopped and said disdainfully to Luo Xusheng, “Is it because Grandpa is here that you don’t dare to hit me all out?”

Luo Xusheng felt a bit sheepish and didn’t know how to respond.

“Grandpa, the night before last, I came back from dinner with Yang Qingyin, and out of nowhere, my dad rushed out and beat me up badly. He was much faster than he was today, and I got hurt all over. Today, with you here, he didn’t dare to do that. Don’t you want to give him a few words of discipline?”

Luo Ziling complained to Luo Liansheng right in front of Luo Xusheng, who felt both angry and ashamed but dared not show it.

Luo Liansheng, however, didn’t seem to care much and, chuckling, said, “Ling’er, your dad learned martial arts from Grandpa as well, except he learned many new moves after joining the military. If you’re interested, you could learn from him in the future, which could enhance your attack power.”

“Fine,” said Luo Ziling, not refusing the offer, but immediately voiced another dissatisfaction, “My dad came to see me and didn’t even bring me any gift. The wish that I’ve had for twenty years hasn’t come true. The welcoming ‘gift’ was a beating, leaving me quite tearful without tears.”

Luo Ziling’s words made Luo Xusheng feel quite embarrassed. He hurriedly explained, “Ling’er, dad did bring you a gift, a special combat dagger; it’s just that I forgot to give it to you. I’ll get it for you in a bit, and I hope you like it. That combat dagger is a prize I won in the national special forces competition.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling no longer brought up Luo Xusheng’s past faults and accepted his good will.

On their way back to the room, Luo Liansheng asked Luo Ziling in a low voice, “Are you very dissatisfied with your dad?”

“Not really dissatisfied, just wanted to complain a bit,” Luo Ziling chuckled and added, “All these years, I’ve only ever complained to Grandpa. It feels pretty good to vent a bit about my own father.”

Luo Liansheng laughed heartily and patted Luo Ziling’s shoulder heavily.

After breakfast, Luo Liansheng took Luo Ziling to visit several of his old friends, including Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun.

Luo Xusheng, on the other hand, secretly followed Ling Ruonan to Ling Family Old Mansion to meet Ling Jinhua.

Upon seeing Luo Liansheng, both Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun appeared quite surprised, and they expressed ample respect for the elder, addressing him reverently as their teacher. Luo Liansheng formally introduced Luo Ziling and hoped they would look after him a bit.

Having already known Luo Ziling and interacted with him quite a bit, they naturally agreed readily when Luo Liansheng brought Luo Ziling to see them today and asked them for their care.

The other two were well-known figures in traditional medicine, whom Luo Ziling had not met before. Following Luo Liansheng to meet them this time, one was named Jin Zhongfu, and the other Wang Xufei. They had done considerable research in traditional medicine and had a bit of a reputation throughout Yanjing and the whole country.

However, they still showed great respect for Luo Liansheng, treating him with the courtesy due to a junior. Seeing these two not young elders give so much respect to his grandfather and treat him, a younger generation, with special courtesy, Luo Ziling’s reverence for his grandfather grew even more.

When they were ready to return to Ling Ruonan’s villa, Luo Liansheng explained his intention, “Ling’er, Grandpa introduced you to these people just in the hope that they might help you in the future. Grandpa hopes you will achieve something in traditional medicine. To do well, you surely need some help. They have always been on good terms with Grandpa, and I believe they will be willing to help you.”

“Thank you, Grandpa,” Luo Ziling expressed his gratitude naturally.

As they returned to the villa, Ling Ruonan and Luo Xusheng also came back.

However, they didn’t look very happy, which made Luo Ziling’s heart skip a beat. Could it be that Ling Jinhua didn’t give them a warm reception?
