Chapter 1751: Chapter 1751: Now Things Will Get Lively
(Chapter 31)
Seeing Yang Qingyin’s face change dramatically, Luo Ziling immediately understood what she was worried about.
He chuckled magnanimously, “Don’t worry, my dad probably won’t seek revenge on your dad.”
“Not necessarily,” Yang Qingyin shook her head, “Some of the things my dad did were indeed a bit excessive, and it’s normal for your dad to be angry. If your dad does get angry and wants revenge, I hope you can persuade him. Try to prevent any conflict with my dad, because if there really is a conflict, it’ll be even more troublesome.”
Seeing Yang Qingyin looking anxious, Luo Ziling had to agree, “Alright, I’ll try to talk to him, but I think you’re worrying too much.”
“I hope I’m just overthinking,” Yang Qingyin sighed softly.
After sending Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing away from the villa, Luo Ziling returned inside.
When he got back inside, Luo Liansheng and Ling Ruonan were still sitting on the sofa.
Seeing him come in, Ling Ruonan asked seriously, “Ling’er, what’s the unusual thing that happened? Tell us about it. If nothing unusual happened, I don’t think your father would be in such a hurry to come over.”
“When is he coming? Tomorrow?” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but ask.
“The specific time isn’t set, it depends on how things are arranged on his end.”
“If he comes, then Yanjing will be quite lively for the next few days,” Luo Ziling laughed happily, “I can follow behind my dad and swagger around.”
“You’re so unserious,” Ling Ruonan tapped Luo Ziling’s head in exasperation and said, “I’m asking you something, hurry up and answer.”
Luo Ziling then recounted everything that happened today, Phoenix’s decision and reminder, and shared his own speculation.
After speaking, he added, “Mom, it seems that those who don’t want my dad to return to Yanjing might do some unscrupulous things.”
“Then what do you think your dad’s purpose is in coming back?” Ling Ruonan asked, her eyes fixed on Luo Ziling.
Without hesitation, Luo Ziling voiced his speculation, “To finalize his return to Yanjing and to make it clear to those who don’t want him back that his return is inevitable.”
Ling Ruonan said nothing, just nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with Luo Ziling’s guess.
Luo Liansheng spoke up, seriously looking at Ling Ruonan, “When he comes, I’ll go with him to see your grandfather and your dad, and you also come along, but Ziling doesn’t need to join us. The three of us will be enough.”
“Dad, I’ll arrange it,” Ling Ruonan didn’t refute Luo Liansheng’s suggestion.
After chatting for a while, Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling to go rest.
“You’ve been really tired these days, go rest early, have a good sleep, and we’ll talk about anything else tomorrow morning.”
Luo Ziling agreed and headed to his room to shower and sleep.
“Things are far more complicated than we imagined,” after Luo Ziling left, Luo Liansheng said seriously to Ling Ruonan, “I also agree with Ling’er’s speculation that some things might be done by those Ling Family members who have shown goodwill towards you. Of course, it could also be the Yang Family or the Chen Family, but I think it’s more likely to be the Ling Family. If Xusheng comes back and lives with you, they won’t be able to deal with you and your son. You might even claim more resources from the Ling Family, and that’s not something they can afford to see.”
“That possibility can’t be ruled out,” Ling Ruonan found Luo Liansheng’s words reasonable, but she wasn’t willing to see things turn out that way, so she didn’t finalize her words, “Any possibility exists, we should try to avoid falling into their trap.”
Luo Liansheng didn’t say more, and using the excuse that he was sleepy, he returned to the guest room where he was staying.
The next morning, after getting up, Luo Ziling went to school.
He first went back to his dormitory.
Since he went back very early, the three guys weren’t awake yet when he entered the dorm.
The sound of the door opening woke them up.
Seeing that it was Luo Ziling coming in, the three guys immediately snapped from their half-asleep state.
Sleeping on the lower bunk, Cao Jianhui, in his excitement, sat up quickly and hit his head heavily against the upper bunk. He hit so hard that he almost knocked Li Fuming, who was just turning over to get out of bed, off his bed.
Cao Jianhui and Li Fuming both let out a roar, their loud exclamations startling Wu Longjiang into collapsing back onto his bed. Luo Ziling laughed at their antics.
“Hey, I’m not some ghost invading a village,” Luo Ziling joked with a smile, “Is jumping like that really necessary?”
“Boss, you finally came back,” Cao Jianhui was so excited that he forgot about the pain from hitting his head, “You don’t know how much we’ve missed you these days.”
“We’re lovesick,” Li Fuming chimed in.
“One day apart feels like three autumns, think about it, how many years have we been apart?” Wu Longjiang slid down quickly from the top bunk, grabbing Luo Ziling’s arm with a mischievous look, “You’re so mean, you got famous and forgot about us brothers. You’ve been back in the country for so many days and didn’t even come to school to visit us. Our hearts are shattered.”
“Alright, alright, you’ve all given me goosebumps,” Luo Ziling quickly stepped back, “Don’t be so gross, or I’ll throw you out the window.”
“Boss, what are you back for today?” Cao Jianhui pushed Wu Longjiang’s hand away from Luo Ziling’s arm and draped an arm over Luo Ziling’s shoulder, asking slyly, “Are you here to say goodbye today? You’re famous, you probably don’t need to study anymore. Even if you studied for five more years, you wouldn’t achieve much more than now.”
“I’m back for classes,” Luo Ziling looked at Cao Jianhui like he was an idiot, “I still need to get my graduation certificate. Don’t you know that a Yanjing University diploma is a golden ticket?”
Though Luo Ziling pretended to dislike hanging around with the three guys, he felt a long-missed sense of relaxation being with them.
This sense of relaxation didn’t appear when he was with Yang Qingyin, Ouyang Feifei, or Ling Ruonan.
He liked this feeling, enjoyed fooling around with them without reservations.
“Boss, if you attend class today, our classroom might explode from all the people. If you go to the cafeteria to eat, you have to worry about getting squashed into a meat patty by people wanting to take photos with you.” Cao Jianhui still had a sly face as he spoke mysteriously, “How about this? No matter where you go on campus, bring us along, we’ll be your bodyguards. What do you think?”
“Yeah, yeah, if you’ve got us with you, you don’t have to worry about those adoring girls overpowering you.”
“If there are beautiful girls who want to overpower me, and you guys stop them, then be prepared to be annihilated,” Luo Ziling laughed heartily, shaking off Cao Jianhui’s arm, “Go wash your face and brush your teeth, let’s go witness the enthusiasm of our school’s pretty girls.”
“Boss, aren’t you afraid Yang would get jealous?” Li Fuming chuckled and asked.
But was kicked away by Cao Jianhui.
“Shoo, shoo, don’t obstruct Boss from charming beautiful girls, when I and Boss go to the cafeteria later, you guys don’t follow. Only charismatic people like us deserve the attention from pretty seniors and juniors, so you guys get lost.”
Thus, Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang got angry, and the three of them got into a brawl.
Luo Ziling laughed heartily on the side, without a care in the world.
