Chapter 771: Chapter 771: Meeting Grandpa Again Chapter 771: Chapter 771: Meeting Grandpa Again Since she cared so much about Ling Ruonanâs attitude toward her, Yang Qingyin immediately paid attention when she heard Ling Ruonan calling Luo Ziling.
This was a subconscious reaction, and she didnât intend to eavesdrop on any secret.
She just wanted to get a sense of Ling Ruonanâs attitude toward her through the mother and sonâs conversation.
She detected the reminder in Ling Ruonanâs words, telling Luo Ziling to come alone, which clearly meant she didnât want her to accompany him.
Although she hadnât planned to follow Luo Ziling back to Ling Ruonanâs, hearing Ling Ruonan specifically advising so, she still felt quite dejected.
When Luo Ziling said his excited goodbyes and was getting ready to visit Ling Ruonan, she returned to her dorm room feeling a bit downhearted.
However, she also felt happy for Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling told her it might be his father coming to Yanjing City, and Ling Ruonan didnât want too many people to know, which was why she asked him to come alone and why she was in such a hurry. Hearing that it might be Luo Xusheng coming to Yanjing City to see them, Yang Qingyin was quite pleased and asked Luo Ziling to send her regards to Luo Xusheng.
But when Luo Ziling eagerly arrived at Ling Ruonanâs, he didnât see the person he had expected.
Ling Ruonan had arranged for him to meet his grandfather, Luo Liansheng.
Seeing Luo Liansheng, Luo Ziling was even more thrilled.
âGrandfather,â Luo Ziling called out affectionately upon realizing it was Luo Liansheng who had come, then quickly sat beside his grandfather, embracing Luo Lianshengâs arm tightly, âWhen did you get here?â
âIâve just arrived a little while ago,â Luo Liansheng said, patting Luo Zilingâs hand with a kind smile, âI came directly to your momâs place and had her contact you.â
âGrandfather, why didnât you call me,â Luo Ziling said in a somewhat coquettish tone, âYou could have let me know in advance, to give me a few more days of happiness. I could have picked you up at the station or the airport, so you wouldnât have to take the car alone.â
Seeing the closeness between Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng, Ling Ruonan felt a burst of joy but couldnât help feeling a tiny bit of jealousy.
Although a mother-son relationship is bonded by blood and canât be replaced by any other, she could clearly feel that Luo Ziling had a closer relationship with his grandfather than with her, his mother.
When Luo Ziling saw her, he rarely showed such childlike nature, speaking intimately. The look in Luo Zilingâs eyes when he looked at Luo Liansheng had an indescribable sense of attachment.
Luo Lianshengâs gaze towards Luo Ziling was filled with affection and gratification, a closeness between the elder and the young that made Ling Ruonan envious.
âLingâer, Iâll make some late-night snacks for you and grandpa. He must be hungry after the journey, and you can have a drink with him later to ease his fatigue,â Ling Ruonan offered, standing up and saying with a smile to Luo Liansheng, âDad, let Lingâer keep you company for a while, Iâll go prepare some snacks. You both can stay over tonight, we have plenty of rooms, Iâll just get the bedding out.â
âGrandfather, you should sleep here too, I have so much to tell you,â Luo Ziling said still in a playful tone, âYou havenât visited me in such a long time, you must stay a few more days this time. I can show you around Yanjing City, okay?â
âI will stay for a few more days this time, there are quite a few things to sort out,â Luo Liansheng laughed heartily, his eyes never leaving Luo Ziling, âIâll do as you say today and sleep over.â
Upon hearing that Luo Liansheng would be sleeping here tonight and that heâd be staying in Yanjing for several more days, Luo Ziling was instantly overjoyed.
Ling Ruonan also breathed a sigh of relief, and after asking Luo Ziling to accompany Luo Liansheng for some tea and chat, she went into the kitchen to prepare a late-night snack for the grandfather and grandson.
âGrandpa, Dad sent two people to protect me,â Luo Ziling initiated a conversation about some important events he encountered recently, âI also competed in acupuncture skill with Gu Jianâan and his grandson, and I won. He actually wagered the Divine Bronze Figures of Acupuncture, which I ended up winning.â
âReally?â Luo Liansheng appeared a bit excited, âWhere are the Bronze Figures? Where are they?â
âGrandpa, I didnât know you were coming today, Mom just mentioned it earlier, I thought it was Dad coming to see us, so I didnât bring the Divine Bronze Figures of Acupuncture.â Luo Ziling said, immediately standing up, âGrandpa, Iâll have someone fetch them so you can take a look.â
Without waiting for Luo Liansheng to respond, he quickly walked out and instructed Yang Xiaodong to bring the Divine Bronze Figures of Acupuncture over.
He also called Yang Qingyin and briefly explained the situation.
Knowing that it was Luo Zilingâs grandfather who had come, Yang Qingyin was a bit surprised, but still happy for Luo Ziling and instructed him to have a good chat with his grandfather and to not worry about her for the time being.
Luo Ziling quickly returned to the sofa and continued talking with Luo Liansheng.
âActually, itâs been many years since Iâve seen your dad,â Luo Liansheng showed a touch of nostalgia and sighed lightly, âAh, the events of those years really put us in a passive position. But now, things are gradually improving. Iâve come back this time to find a way for you all to return, so we can live a good life together.â
On hearing this, Luo Ziling was immediately ecstatic, âGrandpa, if we work together, we can surely resolve this matter quickly.â
âYour dad sent capable men to protect you, and that gives me peace of mind,â Luo Liansheng said, looking somewhat guilty at Luo Ziling, âGrandpa didnât expect that youâd face so many dangers after coming to Yanjing, nor that the situation would evolve into what it is now. But it might be good to make a fuss over the issues, maybe it will cause a stir. If a stir arises now, it definitely wonât be our Luo Family who suffers. With three generations of us fighting together, those who look at us with displeasure will not find it so easy to deal with us.â
âGrandpa, with you here, Iâm not afraid of anything. My mom is also this formidable, and if Dad comes back, then when our whole family reunites, our strength will be even greater. Those who want to deal with us wonât have it so easy; they might even end up being taught a lesson by us and end up in a sorry state.â
Luo Liansheng smiled and started to discuss the current situation in Yanjing with Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling also told Luo Liansheng, âGrandpa, the other day while I was treating Old Mr. Ling, he told me that he would like to invite you for a drink. If you come to Yanjing, he asked me to bring you to meet him. Grandpa, would you like to see him? Mom thinks that if you come to Yanjing, itâs best to meet up with him to talk things over.â
âI will meet him,â Luo Liansheng said, his expression revealing a playful look.
About half an hour later, as Ling Ruonan had the late-night snack ready, Yang Xiaodong entered, carrying the Divine Bronze Figures of Acupuncture.
He respectfully greeted Luo Liansheng and carefully set the Bronze Figures in place before withdrawing to the exterior.
To Luo Zilingâs surprise, Luo Liansheng was not in a hurry to inspect the Bronze Figures but instead invited him to have the late-night snack first, âLingâer, Ruonan, letâs eat the snack together and talk about the disputes we have with the Gu Family.â
Hearing Luo Liansheng say this, Luo Ziling was immediately thrilled.
