"Let Uncle handle this matter!" Ling Zhenghui eventually didn’t agree with Ling Zhengping and Ling Minglan. "Uncle just shared his thoughts, and I think we can discuss further based on what he said."
Luo Ziling, having just arrived, was unaware of what the group had been discussing.
But he could sense from the atmosphere that things hadn’t been pleasant.
Ling Zhenghui made suggestions, but Ling Minglan, Ling Zhengping, and Ling Zhengjian didn’t agree.
The demands from Ling Minglan and Ling Zhengping were also rejected by Ling Zhenghui, leading to a stalemate.
Now, due to Ling Mingrui’s anger and interference, Ling Minglan and Ling Zhengping considered backing down.
Ling Zhenghui disagreed with the proposals from Ling Zhengping and Ling Minglan, likely fearing their scheming.
It seemed Ling Mingrui was supporting Ling Zhenghui earlier.
If that’s true, then it’s quite remarkable.
Ling Minglan, being Ling Mingrui’s own sister, and Ling Zhengping his biological son, still see him favor Ling Zhenghui; it’s quite unusual.
"How about this? Let’s find a solution acceptable to everyone and have my father come out to witness our reconciliation, shall we?" Though upset, Ling Zhengping appeared sincere.
Luo Ziling gave Ling Zhengping a sly smile, knowing what he was worried about.
Before his arrival, neither Ling Zhenghui nor Ling Ruonan would utter such direct threats.
As children of the Ling Family, neither Ling Zhenghui nor Ling Ruonan would use such harsh words before Ling Mingrui.
Ling Zhenghui lacked the courage, while Ling Ruonan had no need.
After all, today’s incident doesn’t involve Ling Ruonan directly; she’s not exactly a bystander, but not heavily vested either.
So, she wouldn’t face off against her aunt and brother under such circumstances.
With Ling Ruonan’s upbringing, she wouldn’t fall out with kin unless there were troubles for her or Luo Ziling and Luo Xusheng.
But Luo Ziling is different; infamous and lacking ties or affection with these relatives. Separated from Ling Ruonan since childhood and embroiled in so much since his return to the Capital, that blood-tied affection is long gone.
Ling Zhengping and Ling Minglan, entrenched in the system, understand its rules well.
Clashing to the death, but still acting friendly in public for appearance’s sake.
Even when faces are torn, they rarely confront and threaten openly.
Luo Ziling isn’t like them; young, carefree, intentionally unruly, uncaring altogether. Watching Ling Minglan and Ling Zhengping lose face brings him satisfaction.
After Ling Zhengping’s words, Luo Ziling reminded Ling Zhenghui, "After discussions, don’t forget to have them visit Haijun and apologize. Whether to forgive them is up to your son, not you."
Luo Ziling continued to sow discord, causing Ling Zhengping to frown.
Displeased, he glanced at Luo Ziling, "We’re willing to work out a solution, so why aren’t you happy?"
"I’m just venting a bit, is there a problem?" Luo Ziling chuckled at Ling Zhengping. "Uncle, you worry about rumors spreading. Your son involved in such disgraceful acts breaking the law could harm your reputation, right?"
Ling Zhengping’s face turned cold; he glared at Luo Ziling, "If you insist on sabotaging, it’s fine."
"I never said I’d sabotage, just here to see if my mom is bullied by kin." Luo Ziling replied, smiling at Ling Zhenghui, "Uncle, I’ve reminded you enough; hope you secure benefits for Haijun."
Ling Zhenghui nodded solemnly but said nothing.
Others looked unfriendly; Ling Minglan didn’t directly scold Luo Ziling but couldn’t hide her disgust.
Luo Ziling glanced at the assorted expressions around, chuckled, and stood up, "Alright, then talk. It’s irrelevant to me, just here to take my mom. Hope her attack isn’t linked to you, else I’ll come knocking, whoever it is."
Having said, he dusted off and left.
Outside, he headed out to the courtyard.
Wuyue waited by the car, approached at Luo Ziling’s sight, inquiring about the situation.
"They’re like dogs fighting!" Luo Ziling whispered. "Ling Zhenghui will probably agree to mediation, avoid pursuing charges against his son’s assailants. Let’s not meddle, just keep evidence. Find the right time to deal with Ling Minglan’s sons. Be sure, use the best opportunity without anyone noticing. Once found, cripple them; I’d like to see how she holds sway then."
