Chapter 498: Chapter 498: It’s Not Surprising That Women Have Such Thoughts
 

Ultimately, Luo Ziling was caught by Yang Qingyin in Ye Xiaoli’s room and underwent a serious “interrogation.”

Seeing Yang Qingyin’s deliberate display of a jealous little woman’s manner, Luo Ziling was actually quite happy.

Of course, Ye Xiaoli didn’t stick around to be a third wheel, instead using buying fruit as an excuse not to accompany them to the room.

However, while the two were causing a commotion in Ye Xiaoli’s room, Luo Ziling received a call from Ling Ruonan, who said she would take a detour to see him, and asked Luo Ziling to wait for her at the entrance, but not to let anyone see him.

After receiving the call from Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin then left Ye Xiaoli’s room.

Yang Qingyin returned to her own dorm, while Luo Ziling went to the school’s entrance.

During this time, whenever Luo Ziling went out, he disguised himself to look quite unsightly. Now that it was night, and with him wearing a pair of large glasses, almost no one could recognize him. He stood safely at the school entrance for a while, until he finally saw Ling Ruonan’s motorcade approaching.

After Luo Ziling got into the car, the motorcade continued forward and drove to an open area before it finally stopped. Once inside the car, Ling Ruonan only made some small talk. When the car stopped, and Wuyue and the driver had gotten out, Ling Ruonan started to discuss serious matters.

“I heard that on Sunday, you and Qingyin went to Simatai Great Wall and were attacked again?” Ling Ruonan directly inquired about the situation.

Looking at Ling Ruonan, who was sitting beside him, dressed elegantly and pretty, but with a very serious expression, Luo Ziling did not hesitate to tell her everything, including his phone call to Lin Lan, informing her of the incident as well as the subsequent beating of Fang Dongxun by a mysterious person. After sharing this, he said, “Mom, if I’m not mistaken, it should be Lin Lan who’s responsible for Fang Dongxun’s beating. There aren’t many women who possess her capabilities.”

After listening, Ling Ruonan remained silent for a while, but eventually let out a sigh, “I never imagined that there would be direct conflict between you and Fang Dongxun. The Fang Family has been decent to the Luo Family, and Fang Dongxun is quite magnanimous. I originally thought that you two would get along.”

Luo Ziling immediately offered his own view, “Mom, I think the urgency of the Yang Family to match Qingyin with Fang Dongxun, aside from wanting to separate you, must also include other ulterior motives. They probably want to incite conflict between us and the Fang Family through manipulation.”

“That’s a possibility,” Ling Ruonan didn’t deny, and after some thought, she nodded, “However, we still ended up in conflict with people from the Fang Family.”

“Anyway, Fang Dongxun doesn’t know why he was beaten, and he certainly wouldn’t think it was Lin Lan’s doing.” Luo Ziling chuckled, feeling quite pleased about bullying someone for the first time.

Only, Lin Lan hadn’t called to explain the situation to him, nor had she sent any messages.

But Luo Ziling knew that Lin Lan would not likely offer any explanation, and he didn’t need to know whether it was her doing.

The last time he was ambushed on the street, Lin Lan had said if she found out who was responsible, she would seek revenge, even to the point of killing them. From this, Luo Ziling was sure that she was behind this incident.

However, Luo Ziling also understood that any act carried out by Lin Lan would leave no evidence, which meant no one could discover the true culprit behind the scenes.

The situation turning out this way should be the best outcome, since he didn’t participate in this matter anyway.

He just hoped that no one would check his call records, or else there was a chance of getting exposed.

Of course, Luo Ziling didn’t know that his call records with Lin Lan had already been wiped clean by someone.

After Ling Ruonan asked in detail about the relevant circumstances, she wasn’t overly concerned in the end. But she reminded Luo Ziling not to have more conflicts with the Fang Family, and to resolve any grievances with Fang Dongxun if possible; if not, to minimize contact. “He has learned his lesson and will probably be more cautious from now on. The arranged marriage between the Yang Family and the Fang Family might be called off, or at least put on hold.”

Actually, from a personal perspective, Ling Ruonan strongly supported Luo Ziling’s disciplining of Fang Dongxun, because she was also very angry that Fang Dongxun had planned to take revenge on her son.

“Mom, a few days ago, Qingyin’s mother came to me to discuss something,” Luo Ziling thought about it and decided to tell Ling Ruonan about Chen Qiaoyu’s approach.

Ling Ruonan was surprised that Chen Qiaoyu would take the initiative to talk to Luo Ziling and quickly asked what Chen Qiaoyu had said.

Luo Ziling relayed most of what Chen Qiaoyu told him to Ling Ruonan and then asked curiously, “Mom, were the events of that year really so marvelous and complicated?”

Listening to Luo Ziling, Ling Ruonan had a strange look on her face and didn’t deny anything, but sighed and said, “It should be about the same. Anyway, the changes in Yang Yunlin over the years are pretty much as Chen Qiaoyu described. Their marriage is also the result of a family arrangement. The Chen Family has Chen Ruchang and Chen Rushan as brothers, with Chen Ruchang having two sons, Chen Yining and Chen Yijing, and Chen Rushan having a son named Chen Yiping, as well as two daughters, Chen Qiaoyu and Chen Qiaoyun. Chen Qiaoyu married Yang Yunlin, and Chen Qiaoyun went to America and married an overseas Chinese.”

After a pause, Ling Ruonan continued, “I’m not very clear about the matter of Chen Qiaoyu taking the initiative to pursue your father. What I know is that there were many women from wealthy families who liked your father quite a bit, and some even tried to get close to him, just like with you now. However, your father didn’t pay much attention to them, and Chen Qiaoyu was probably one of those he disregarded.”

As she spoke, Ling Ruonan’s face held a touch of pride.

Luo Ziling understood what Ling Ruonan meant.

It must have been like this: twenty years ago, many women of status and beauty were interested in Luo Xusheng, and Chen Qiaoyu was probably one of them—but not the most outstanding. At least, in the life of Luo Xusheng, that was the case. Luo Xusheng only had Ling Ruonan in his heart, and he couldn’t be bothered with other women. It was precisely because of this that Ling Ruonan wore that proud expression.

Luo Ziling also felt proud that his father had been actively pursued by so many women, and it seemed that he was continuing to uphold his father’s excellent qualities.

“I didn’t expect Chen Qiaoyu to say such things, telling you to be more intimate with other women to cover up your relationship with Yang Qingyin. If what she said came from her heart, then it suggests she does want you to be with Yang Qingyin.” Ling Ruonan showed a strange smile as she spoke, “Perhaps she has another motive, which is to have a chance to meet your father again while facilitating your relationship.”

“Eh, she hasn’t given up?” Luo Ziling was greatly surprised.

“It’s not that strange for a woman to have such thoughts.”

Luo Ziling didn’t know what to say.
