"I... will try my best to arrange time to go." After regaining her composure, Ling Ruonan said solemnly to Luo Ziling, "I must go to the place where you grew up, let you accompany me to the places you used to visit frequently, and feel the joys of your childhood life."
"Hmm!" Luo Ziling nodded vigorously, "If you can come along, I’ll definitely show you around the local scenery, you’ll definitely like it there."
Because Ling Ruonan was a bit emotional, she didn’t say much more to Luo Ziling. As it was getting late, she asked Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling to rest early.
Luo Ziling obediently went back to his room to rest, but what he didn’t expect was that after taking a shower and putting on his pajamas, preparing to go to bed, Ling Ruonan gently pushed open his door and walked in.
"Keep mom company for a chat!" Ling Ruonan sat by Luo Ziling’s bed, gesturing for him to sit down as well.
Luo Ziling obediently sat down. "Mom, did my earlier words make you sad again?"
"Sigh, the place where you’ve lived for twenty years, I should have visited long ago." Ling Ruonan sighed, holding Luo Ziling’s hand, "Mom should go take a look. Your dad has been there before, you just didn’t know. If he has time, we’ll all go together!"
"He might not have the time unless he’s on a mission over there." Luo Ziling chuckled.
"I’ll talk to him about it, if there’s a chance, let him go with us." Ling Ruonan said with a determined look.
"He’ll listen to you!"
Ling Ruonan sighed again, gently patting Luo Ziling’s hand. "Tomorrow, mom will take you to visit your uncle. He’s in the hospital due to an injury, as his sister, I must go see him. You’re his nephew too, you should go as well. As for what may happen after the visit, let’s not worry for now. After we visit him, we’ll go see your Great Grandfather, then have dinner at your grandpa’s place. Alright?"
Luo Ziling thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Okay, I’ll follow your arrangements!"
He and Ling Zhengping had just engaged in a direct confrontation, no, it should be considered two confrontations.
Ling Zhengping sent people to deal with him, but they didn’t succeed; he sent people to counterattack Ling Zhengping, and they succeeded in the end.
These were two independent incidents, but they happened to occur around the same time coincidentally.
The two encounters ended with Ling Zhengping suffering a loss.
After such incidents, it’s impossible for anyone to remain calm, so an unpleasant situation is bound to occur when they meet tomorrow.
An unpleasant situation between the two doesn’t matter much to Luo Ziling.
But Luo Ziling knows that his mother Ling Ruonan would definitely feel bad about it.
One is her biological brother, the other is her son, both are close family.
Ling Ruonan can’t possibly lose her temper at Ling Zhengping, who is lying injured in bed, so discussing the situation with Ling Jinhua is the best option. After discussing with Ling Jinhua, talking to Ling Mingrui about the visit to Ling Zhengping is also reasonable.
With such arrangements from Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling certainly wouldn’t disagree.
"Linger, I really don’t want you and your uncle to be at such a life-and-death conflict. Actually, there’s nothing between you that can’t be resolved." Ling Ruonan sighed.
After deciding to bring Luo Ziling back to Yanjing, Ling Ruonan envisioned many unfavorable possibilities and took numerous measures to counter them.
But she didn’t expect that her brother, her biological brother from the same parents, would become the biggest obstacle in her life.
Now, most of the Yang Family issues have been resolved, and the threat from the Chen Family is slowly diminishing. Unexpectedly, her own brother’s threat is becoming greater, reaching a point of irreconcilable conflict with her son.
Ling Ruonan had no countermeasure, and she didn’t know what to do.
She had thought about taking drastic measures, but after several discussions with her parents, she still couldn’t bring herself to do it.
After sighing, she continued, "He is just afraid that we’ll take the resources originally belonging to him. Moreover, the accumulated grievances from past conflicts led to the current irreconcilable state. Your Great Grandfather and your grandpa wouldn’t allow such things to happen; if anything were to happen to either of you, they certainly wouldn’t tolerate it. Of course, you as the grandson aren’t as important as Ling Zhengping."
Ling Ruonan didn’t continue, but Luo Ziling understood what she meant without needing her to say it.
If he kills Ling Zhengping, the consequences would obviously be more severe than if Ling Zhengping killed him.
"Mom, you’re right, there’s nothing that can’t be resolved, after all, we have a very close kinship." Luo Ziling replied to Ling Ruonan with a wry smile, "At least, I’m willing to visit him. I hope he can be magnanimous and not bear a grudge against me. As long as he lets go of past grievances and is willing to reconcile with us, then I’ll definitely let bygones be bygones."
Hearing Luo Ziling say this, Ling Ruonan sighed softly.
She knew that Luo Ziling was unwilling to forgive Ling Zhengping.
She also knew that in Luo Ziling’s heart, except for Ling Mingrui and Xie Enhua, the rest of the Ling Family didn’t leave a good impression.
This is understandable, after all, they didn’t interact or live together growing up, there’s simply no attachment.
Coupled with the malice they exhibited, the seed of hatred in Luo Ziling’s heart began to sprout after their repeated mistreatment of him.
Life-and-death conflict---this is the level of hostility between Luo Ziling and Ling Zhengping now.
Resolving their feuds will undoubtedly be challenging.
Even for siblings to restore a close relationship, it is almost impossible.
Faced with these matters, Ling Ruonan felt a bit helpless, thus all she could do was sigh.
Ling Ruonan knew that in such matters, she shouldn’t say much, just let nature take its course, and hope for the intervention of Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui, so she didn’t say much else.
After chatting casually for a while, Ling Ruonan returned to her room to sleep.
After Ling Ruonan left, Luo Ziling sat alone on the bed lost in thought.
After pondering for a while, feeling everything was a bit chaotic, he just decided not to think about it.
Just then, his phone rang with a WeChat notification coming in.
Luo Ziling doesn’t have many WeChat friends, but not too few either.
He has set most of his friends’ messages to "Do Not Disturb" mode, only some important people are set for immediate notification. At this time, the people who’d send messages triggering a notification are only a few.
Upon opening, he saw it was a message from Ouyang Feifei.
"You’re planning to cooperate with Wang Feiyang?" A rolling eyes emoji followed the message.
"Do I need to report to you who I collaborate with?" Luo Ziling replied with an annoyed comment.
As a result, Ouyang Feifei didn’t reply, seemingly angry.
Luo Ziling didn’t pay any more attention.
