Chapter 718: Chapter 718 Things Are Getting More Complicated

When that fiery red Porsche sports car pulled up in front of Ling Ruonan’s villa, Luo Ziling finally let out a sigh of relief. As he unbuckled his seatbelt, he said, “Senior, it looks like your driving skills could use some refining. It didn’t feel like a sports car experience.”

Yang Qingyin was actually not bad at driving, but on the way to Ling Ruonan’s villa, she drove quite steadily and didn’t exhibit the wildness expected of a sports car. Luo Ziling, who neither got car sick nor encountered any traffic accidents, breathed a sigh of relief, but didn’t forget to tease Yang Qingyin.

Hearing Luo Ziling say this, Yang Qingyin retorted a bit annoyed and embarrassed, “I don’t drive much, so this level of skill is already quite good. Besides, these are city roads; it’s not possible to unleash a sports car’s full potential here.”

“Alright then, some time let’s take it out on a highway in the suburbs and see what it feels like to drive a sports car at high speed.”

“I don’t dare,” Yang Qingyin shook her head, “if you want to speed, then let Xiaoli drive, or let your two bodyguards do it. Their driving skills are good.”

Luo Ziling touched Yang Qingyin’s cheek and teased her once more, “So there are times when even Senior feels outdone.”

After teasing Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling didn’t wait for her to show her annoyance before scrambling out of the car.

It took Yang Qingyin a little longer to get out of the car, and when she did, her pretty face was still slightly red.

Wuyue, who heard the commotion, hurried over to open the door and was very surprised to see the fiery red Porsche sports car parked outside, but she didn’t ask any questions. She assumed the car belonged to Yang Qingyin. For someone like Yang Qingyin, it was totally within her means to buy such a luxury car, so Wuyue didn’t inquire further.

When Wuyue welcomed Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin into the living room, Ling Ruonan had just come down from upstairs after taking a bath.

“Mom, I have something to show you, something I won tonight from someone else,” Luo Ziling excitedly pulled Ling Ruonan’s hand, urging her to have a look at the sports car.

“A Porsche 911? Where did you get it from?” Ling Ruonan couldn’t help but be very surprised upon seeing the car parked outside, “Did you bet on medical skills and win this sports car?”

“Mom, you’re not happy with it?” Luo Ziling chuckled, “With my excellent medical skills, I defeated a guy who claimed to be the number one in acupuncture in the world and won several treasures. Qingyin was there to witness the whole process; if you don’t believe me, you can ask her. You called us just as we finished dinner, and she drove me over.”

Hearing that Yang Qingyin had been with Luo Ziling all evening and even drove him over, Ling Ruonan was a bit surprised.

But in the end, she just smiled and said, “Qingyin, let’s sit down and talk.”

Wuyue, sensing the situation, also excused herself and went out to talk to Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun.

Driving Ye Xiaoli’s Mercedes SUV, Yang Xiaodong, with Wang Zhenjun and Ye Xiaoli in tow, followed into the residential compound.

Only, they parked their car a bit further away from the villa.

After stopping the car, Yang Xiaodong got out, leaving Ye Xiaoli and Wang Zhenjun in the car, joking that he wouldn’t interrupt their romantic chat.

Ye Xiaoli was a woman devoid of romantic experiences. She was not receptive to Wang Zhenjun’s advances and enthusiasm but didn’t dislike him either. However, Yang Xiaodong’s blunt teasing made her shy away. After he left the car, she also jumped out promptly and stopped paying attention to Wang Zhenjun.

Wang Zhenjun wasn’t discouraged; he followed Ye Xiaoli with a chuckle until Wuyue came over to find him.

Luo Ziling, of course, didn’t bother to care about what happened between the four individuals. He relayed the evening’s events to Ling Ruonan and then asked, “Mom, did this old man named Gu Jian’an have conflicts with Grandfather in the past?”

“They did,” Ling Ruonan hesitated for a moment but still shared what she knew, “Back then, Gu Jian’an was also in love with your grandmother and had been pursuing her, but in the end, he lost to your grandfather. Your grandfather and grandmother’s tragic fate later on must have had something to do with his doings. Your father and Gu Jian’an’s son, Gu Changwei’s father Gu Leiyun, once had a fight. In that fight, your father threw Gu Leiyun into a foul ditch and did so in front of many people, so they also became sworn enemies.”

Hearing Ling Ruonan say this, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin were flabbergasted.

“Mom, the scandals caused by my grandfather and dad back in the day were much bigger than mine now,” Luo Ziling said with a smile that he could barely close his mouth, still shocked, “They were remarkable, but still not as remarkable as me. Not only have I won a sports car worth close to two million from Gu Changwei, but I also won their family heirloom, the Divine Bronze Figures of Acupuncture.”

“What?!” Ling Ruonan exclaimed in shock at Luo Ziling’s words, “You won the acupuncture Bronze Figures from the Gu Family?”

“Yeah! I’ll have them bring it in for you to see,” Luo Ziling, seeing the disoriented expression on Ling Ruonan’s face and feeling quite proud, immediately stood up and instructed Yang Xiaodong to bring in the Divine Bronze Figures of Acupuncture that had already been moved to the Mercedes-Benz car.

Although the Porsche sports car was expensive, it only had two seats, and Luo Ziling didn’t trust storing something in its compartment, so he had Yang Xiaodong move the Bronze Figures to the other vehicle.

Upon hearing Luo Ziling’s call, Yang Xiaodong, who was discussing matters with Wuyue, immediately brought in the Divine Bronze Figures of Acupuncture. As Yang Xiaodong positioned the figure in the living room and pulled away the covering cloth, Ling Ruonan excitedly walked forward and tenderly touched the Bronze Figure.

“Your grandfather and father had always wanted to acquire this Bronze Figure from the Gu Family. They were willing to pay a high price, but they never got their wish. To think that you have fulfilled what they couldn’t, they would be overjoyed if they knew,” Ling Ruonan said with a hint of excitement.

This puzzled Luo Ziling; he knew there must be an extraordinary story behind it.

“Mom, what exactly is going on? Please tell us,” he asked Ling Ruonan anxiously.

Curiosity killed the cat; Luo Ziling, a gossip enthusiast, was very interested in his parents’ and grandparents’ affairs, so he was eager to know what was going on.

But Ling Ruonan didn’t give Luo Ziling the answer, just sighed softly, “I don’t know the specifics myself. How about this, wait for Grandfather to arrive in a few days, and you can ask him yourself.”

“Grandfather is coming to Yanjing?” Luo Ziling was suddenly filled with joy, “When is he coming?”

Ling Ruonan glanced at Yang Qingyin who wore a curious and excited face but didn’t answer immediately.

“Mrs. Ling, I would also like to meet Grandfather Luo, to pay my respects to him and to seek his advice,” Yang Qingyin sensed something unusual in Ling Ruonan’s gaze and hastily clarified, “Please rest assured, Mrs. Ling, I won’t divulge Grandfather Luo’s whereabouts to anyone.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, he should be coming to Yanjing in a week. You can all come and meet him then,” Ling Ruonan finally revealed.

“That’s fantastic,” Luo Ziling said, thrilled.

Yang Qingyin also showed a happy expression.
