"The Ling Family is showing us a bit more friendliness, which is definitely a good thing! I also hope we can coexist peacefully with the Ling Family instead of being at each other’s throats." Luo Ziling sighed and said with a hint of frustration, "Yang Yuanshan seems nice to me on the surface, but in secret, he still wants me dead. It’s truly disappointing."
"Although Yang Yuanshan has his own ulterior motives, the idea that he wants you dead can be temporarily dismissed, at least for now. Before his own illness is fully cured, he definitely doesn’t want you dead. If someone tries to harm you, he might even shield you from the blow."
Ling Ruonan analyzed very seriously, "Yang Yunlin and Yang Qingye treat you this way, and Yang Yuanshan turns a blind eye only because his thoughts are complex. It’s possible he’s trying to train his grandson, hoping Yang Qingye can grow rapidly. How does someone grow quickly? The best way is to let them face challenges and have a strong opponent. Yang Yuanshan probably thinks you won’t hurt Yang Qingye since you and Yang Qingyin are in a relationship, which is why he feels secure letting Yang Qingye face off against you. You might have noticed that Yang Qingye has been growing quickly recently. Although he’s still impulsive at times, he has improved significantly compared to before."
"Mom, your thoughts are similar to Li Haiyang’s." Luo Ziling smiled wryly, "Li Haiyang also said something similar; he thinks Yang Yuanshan might be training Yang Qingye."
"You don’t think so?"
"I hadn’t thought of it like that before. Since you’re all saying this, I think it’s a possibility."
"I only analyze based on probabilities!" Ling Ruonan didn’t argue with Luo Ziling. "Yang Yuanshan probably won’t go against the Ling Family and our Luo Family now because he needs our help. It’s clear Yang Yunlin hasn’t satisfied him. He pins his hopes for the Yang Family on Yang Qingye, but Yang Qingye was not outstanding in any aspect before. He hopes that in competing with you, Yang Qingye can grow quickly and become someone capable on his own. But now you’ve shown lethal intent, so Yang Yuanshan is a bit panicked. If Yang Qingye moderates his behavior and no longer treats you the same way, my guess might be correct."
Luo Ziling thought seriously and felt that Ling Ruonan’s analysis was indeed reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.
During the day, Li Haiyang had said the same thing, but Luo Ziling didn’t fully agree.
He didn’t like using this as an excuse to "exonerate" Yang Yuanshan.
But since Ling Ruonan said it too, he couldn’t ignore it.
Yang Yuanshan might indeed have such thoughts.
Ling Ruonan continued, "When dealing with the Yang Family, you can continue to be a bit tougher. When chatting with Yang Yuanshan, directly share your thoughts with him. I believe Yang Yuanshan won’t be indifferent. Also, regarding Yang Qingyin, you need to explain things well. I know, she’s the most stressed and uncomfortable one caught in this mess. She can’t understand so much unless she steps out of the framework of being a Yang Family daughter and thinks from another perspective. However, no matter what, your relationship will surely be affected by these matters. You need to seriously consider how you will interact in the future. Love and marriage are really two different matters; marriage is realistic and involves much more to consider. I hope you understand this!"
Luo Ziling nodded solemnly.
Ling Ruonan didn’t say more.
"Mom, I’ll go find Yang Qingyin later to share this situation with her. Some things need good communication to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings between us."
After hearing this, Ling Ruonan nodded gently but didn’t remind Luo Ziling to be cautious.
"Mom, you’re getting married soon, so why isn’t Dad coming back?" Luo Ziling changed the topic and complained about Luo Xusheng, "I’ve been back from Europe for several days, shouldn’t he come back to see me? I’ve done so much for them, and he hasn’t shown any response?"
"Your dad probably went on a business trip. Last time he was back, he mentioned going to the south, but he didn’t specify where, so maybe he hasn’t returned yet." Ling Ruonan was slightly embarrassed.
"Alright!" Luo Ziling didn’t ask further but couldn’t help complaining, "With Dad like this now, you still have to spend each night alone, not much different from before!"
Ling Ruonan sighed slightly, "Perhaps your grandfather is already considering letting him work at the headquarters. But he’s only been at Dragon Rise for a short time, and the right person to take over hasn’t been found, so it can’t happen yet!"
"Let Phoenix take over; she can handle the position, provided she’s well trained," Luo Ziling suggested.
Ling Ruonan thought for a moment and said, "You can discuss this issue with your dad."
"Alright!"
After finishing the conversation with Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling had Wuyue take him to Yang Qingyin’s place.
Late at night, Luo Ziling wanted to go to Yang Qingyin’s place, and being a woman who liked Luo Ziling, Wuyue naturally felt a bit uncomfortable.
But the matters Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan discussed today were of great importance, and Ling Ruonan seemed to have implicitly warned her, so she didn’t dare show her displeasure. While taking Luo Ziling there, she solemnly assured him that she would never disappoint Ling Ruonan and him.
"Sister Wuyue, both my mom and I trust you very much, which is why we involve you in everything and don’t avoid you when discussing important matters. No matter what happens in the future, we need to advance and retreat together and share both hardships and happiness." Luo Ziling looked at Wuyue’s face in the rearview mirror and said seriously, "This is indeed a critical period, so it’s understandable to speak this way. In these exceptional times, everything must be more cautious. Some problematic issues with people around my mom have already been exposed. Given how careful she is when selecting people, the fact that this has happened only shows how treacherous human nature is."
"Young master, I think if problems are discovered, they must be dealt with seriously to have a deterrent effect and instill fear in those who are not steadfast." Wuyue glanced at Luo Ziling and said equally seriously, "I will personally take charge of investigating their affairs. If I find issues, I will handle them with an iron hand, making them wish they were dead."
"Alright!" Luo Ziling agreed readily, "In a few days, Lin Lan will retire and start working with us. You must cooperate well. You two are the most trustworthy people we have, and you’ll handle all confidential matters. You must ensure everything is done perfectly!"
"Please rest assured, young master, as long as I am alive, I will never disappoint you and Miss!"
