Chapter 809: Chapter 809: A Beautiful and Smart Woman, Which Man Dares to Marry Her Chapter 809: Chapter 809: A Beautiful and Smart Woman, Which Man Dares to Marry Her A few bodyguards still wanted to rush over, but after Yang Xiaodong threw each with one hand to the side, no one else dared to come forward.
There were nearly a hundred guests at the cocktail party, and everyoneâs gaze was drawn to the area of conflict.
When Luo Ziling was leaving with Luo Yuqing, most peopleâs eyes followed them.
Luo Yuqing felt it was somewhat inappropriate to leave just like that with Luo Ziling, but when Luo Ziling pulled her hand and walked outside, she eventually did not resist.
It was only when she stepped out of the hotel that Luo Yuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had a lot to say to Luo Ziling, so after they left the hotel, she asked Luo Ziling to take her somewhere to sit.
Luo Ziling did not refuse and took Luo Yuqing to a nearby cafe.
âWhat exactly is your issue with Chen Jiahai, that it had to come to a public confrontation?â she asked Luo Ziling earnestly after they had taken a seat in a private booth. âI feel itâs not just about jealousy over Ouyang Feifei, there seems to be a deeper level of conflict.â
âMy grandmother is Miss Chen, but their family did not allow my grandfather to marry her,â Luo Ziling revealed another secret to Luo Yuqing and then bitterly smiled, âOf course, thatâs just one reason the Chen family is dissatisfied with our Luo Family. The conflict between Chen Jiahai and me is primarily over Ouyang Feifei. If I am not mistaken, Chen Jiahai intends not only to target Ouyang Feifei but also Ouyang Huihui, or perhaps to take both sisters. My appearance ruined his plans, and you can imagine how much he hates me. If he marries one of them, he might lay claim to the vast wealth of the Ouyang Family. Although the Chen Family is not short of money, no one ever thinks they have too much.â
âI understand,â Luo Yuqing looked as if she had an epiphany, ânot only did you stop Chen Jiahaiâs plans to embrace the beauty of the Ouyang family, but you also cut off his chance to dominate the Ouyangâs assets, so he hates you to the bone. Plus, with the ancestral grudge, you two have become sworn enemies.â
It was quite understandable that Chen Jiahai wanted to control the Ouyang Family by marrying Ouyang Feifei.
âI donât consider him an enemy, but he started with retaliation. He has done many despicable things, so today I had to teach him a lesson,â Luo Ziling said contemptuously, âWhat nonsense about Mr. Chen, I donât take him seriously at all.â
âHow can you be so fearless?â Luo Yuqing still didnât understand, and asked Luo Ziling, âArenât you afraid of their retaliation?â
âNo,â Luo Ziling shook his head, âI have already faced several life and death situations, their methods of retaliation are vicious enough. If I let them be, without showing firmness, they would be even more unscrupulous. But if I show some toughness and dominance, maybe they will not dare to do as they please.â
âOkay,â although Luo Yuqing still didnât fully understand the situation, she felt it was not appropriate to keep asking.
Luo Ziling knew that Luo Yuqing had many things she didnât understand, so he started to explain proactively.
âI can tell that you and your uncle donât get along; I guess this is the situation, isnât it? Your uncle and your father had a poor relationship, possibly clashing over interests. After your father passed away, your uncle further suppressed you and your mother, right?â
Luo Yuqing widened her eyes in surprise, but eventually did not deny it and nodded in agreement with what Luo Ziling said.
Luo Ziling continued, âToday, I took action to teach them a lesson, I slapped Li Man, and I even dared to teach Chen Jiahai a lesson, and I left safely without Chen Jiahai daring to tear off the mask and chase after me. He must fear my status, hence he also wouldnât dare to bully you again. If that is the case, you should thank me, treating me to a big meal is a must. Although it was a duty, I donât mind your gratitude.â
âOkay, you make a good point, Iâll treat you to a big meal,â Luo Yuqing said with a smile on her face.
âChen Jiangnan wants to pursue you, and he is also Chen Jiahaiâs cousin. Pretending to be your boyfriend to drive him away and also getting something off my chest actually felt quite exhilarating. Well, a little brother protecting his sister makes sense, right?â
âI can understand that,â Luo Yuqing sighed before continuing, âMy concern is the retaliation from the Chen Family against you. My uncle wonât let this slide and is sure to take action. He has good relations with the Ling Family, and gets along quite well with your uncle, Ling Zhengping, and he is also on good terms with the Chen Family. If he retaliates against you and both the Ling and Chen families help him, youâre definitely going to have trouble.â
âThe Ling and Chen families wouldnât go after me for such an insignificant figure as your uncle.â
Seeing how confident Luo Ziling was, Luo Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief again: âIf you are confident, then thatâs good news.â
âIf you were really my sister, I would tell you more secrets. If you knew those secrets, youâd understand why I acted so boldly today.â Luo Ziling said, suddenly bursting into joyful laughter.
âSo you mean, if Iâm not your sister, you wonât tell me these secrets?â
âOf course, weâre not family, so how could I possibly tell you those secrets related to the family feud?â
Luo Yuqing felt dejected and pouted unhappily, âI thought I had already earned your trust, but it turns out Iâm still just a stranger.â
âThatâs not it,â Luo Ziling quickly shook his head in denial, âThere are some things I havenât even told my mom.â
âAlright,â Luo Yuqing agreed, then added a bit grumpily, âIf thereâs something you donât want to tell me, you shouldnât bring it up. Donât you know curiosity killed the cat? A womanâs curiosity is much stronger than a manâs. Youâve aroused my curiosity, yet refuse to satisfy it, youâre just being mean.â
âThen Iâll tell you something. I hope with my actions to deepen the conflicts among the major families, ideally leading to disputes. That way, I can establish a foothold in Yanjing and live a better life.â
Luo Yuqing was an extremely intelligent person, and upon hearing Luo Zilingâs words, she suddenly realized the full picture.
âYou want to be the fisherman who benefits from othersâ discord, using the conflicts among the major families as a cover for yourself, thus deliberately acting in a high-profile manner. Youâve already acknowledged your mother and even visited the Ling Family Old Mansion, so in many peopleâs eyes, you are part of the Ling Family. If you were bullied by the Chen Family or the Yang Family, the Ling Family would intervene to save face. More importantly, now that you are treating Li Haiyang and Old Mr. Ling, your importance is more evident. Even if you act brazenly, the Ling Family wonât allow you to be bullied, right?â
âSenior, you really are smart. Since youâve guessed it, I wonât deny it.â Luo Ziling looked at Luo Yuqing, who seemed even more beautiful with her excitement, âSenior, you are so beautiful and so smart, which man in the future could ever tame you?â
Luo Yuqingâs face flushed, and she retorted: âSo annoying, always talking nonsense. Hmph, if I werenât your sister, Iâd pursue you myself and snatch you away from Ouyang Feifei and Yang Qingyin.â
ââŠâ Luo Ziling stared at Luo Yuqing, dumbfounded.
How could this woman be so domineering?
