Chapter 884 - 884 884 Reprimand

Chapter 884: Chapter 884 Reprimand Chapter 884: Chapter 884 Reprimand “What’s wrong with you two?” Seeing that Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan both looked displeased, Luo Ziling asked curiously, “Did the old man lecture you?”

Luo Liansheng also looked at Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan with a puzzled expression.

“Grandfather blames him for coming back all of a sudden,” Ling Ruonan answered, “Grandfather is upset that both of you returned to Yanjing together, putting pressure on everyone.”

There was an unusual look in Luo Liansheng’s eyes as he frowned slightly and asked Luo Xusheng, “Tell me what happened today.”

Luo Xusheng glanced at Ling Ruonan and eventually recounted his visit to Ling Jinhua today.

When Ling Jinhua saw Ling Ruonan and Luo Xusheng appear together at the Ling Family Old Mansion, his expression soured immediately.

He accused Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan to their faces, asking if their joint visit to the old mansion was meant to force something out of him.

Luo Xusheng quickly explained that he had come to Yanjing while carrying out official duties without revealing his whereabouts, and that he would soon return. He had been fortunate to receive the old man’s kindness in the past, so today he followed Ling Ruonan to pay a visit, with no other intentions.

But Ling Jinhua didn’t heed Luo Xusheng’s explanation and kept a cold demeanor throughout, giving Ling Ruonan the cold shoulder as well.

Ling Jinhua even told them in front of their faces that he was tired today and did not wish to receive visitors, saying they should make themselves at home.

So, Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan left the Ling Family Old Mansion in low spirits.

After hearing Luo Xusheng briefly describe today’s events, a flash of anger appeared in Luo Liansheng’s eyes, but ultimately, he just chuckled twice.

Luo Liansheng didn’t say anything more, but Luo Ziling knew that his grandfather was angry because his son had been snubbed at the Ling Family Old Mansion.

Ling Jinhua’s cold treatment of Luo Xusheng was also an insult to Luo Liansheng. Under certain circumstances, of course Luo Liansheng would be angry.

When Luo Liansheng met with Ling Jinhua, the two old men had their own hidden struggle, but Ling Jinhua didn’t scold Luo Liansheng, probably out of consideration. It seemed that Ling Jinhua also bore a grudge against Luo Liansheng, hence his cold treatment of Luo Xusheng to express his anger.

Strictly speaking, when it comes to fighting with others, Luo Xusheng doesn’t have much experience, even though he’s middle-aged.

Having always been in the military with limited contact with the outside world, his social experience couldn’t possibly be as rich as Ling Ruonan’s, who lives in Yanjing, let alone as cunning as the old fox Luo Liansheng. Therefore, with today’s situation, he didn’t know what to do.

After being snubbed by Ling Jinhua and then facing his father Luo Liansheng’s dissatisfaction, Luo Xusheng felt like he couldn’t please anyone.

He didn’t know what to say and could only stand awkwardly in front of his father.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Liansheng asked Luo Ziling, “At the old man’s ninetieth birthday last time, which people targeted you?”

Luo Ziling mentioned names such as Ling Mingqing, Ling Zhengjun, and others.

Then Luo Ziling talked about the bullying he faced after coming to Yanjing, mentioning names like Chen Jiahai and some people from the Yang Family.

“When someone from an older generation bullies your son, are you, as a father, going to let your son be bullied?” Luo Liansheng said coldly to Luo Xusheng, disregarding Ling Ruonan’s presence, “I absolutely will not allow my son and grandson to be bullied. I will go to the Ling Family Old Mansion later and give Ling Jinhua a piece of my mind. As for those who bullied your son, you figure out a way to regain your dignity.”

Ling Ruonan knew that Luo Liansheng was angry and was quite anxious inside, but ultimately, she wisely didn’t say anything.

“Dad, I understand,” Luo Xusheng nodded, “I’ll make my presence and attitude felt. I still have something to take care of, so I’ll go deal with that first. If I’m free tonight… I might come over again. I’ll be leaving Yanjing tomorrow night or the day after.”

Upon hearing that Luo Xusheng was going to leave Yanjing, Ling Ruonan couldn’t help but shiver, and a look of quiet resentfulness crossed her face, but in the end, she said nothing.

“Alright, you go on and get busy, I’ll go and chat with Ling Jinhua. I’ll be leaving Yanjing in a couple of days too, consider it saying goodbye to him,” Luo Liansheng said, preparing to leave Ling Ruonan’s villa.

“Dad, let me take you there,” Ling Ruonan finally spoke up, “Take my car, that way no one will know you’ve been to the Ling Family Old Mansion.”

Luo Liansheng didn’t refuse and agreed to let Ling Ruonan accompany him to the Ling Family Old Mansion.

Luo Ziling also wanted to come along, but Luo Liansheng and Ling Ruonan both refused.

“Ling’er, you should stay at home,” Ling Ruonan whispered to Luo Ziling, “You can go over tomorrow or the day after to treat the old man. Today, your mom will accompany your grandpa to chat with the old man.”

“Ling’er, you must be tired too, take a rest,” Luo Liansheng added, “I’m just going to say a brief goodbye; all three generations of us visiting him in a single day would pressure him even more.”

“Alright then,” Luo Ziling had no choice but to agree, “I’ll head back to the university for a bit.”

He hadn’t been back to the university for two days, not attending classes or being seen, and Luo Ziling felt if he didn’t show his face at university soon, it really wouldn’t befit a student. After Luo Liansheng took Ling Ruonan’s car to leave the villa, and Luo Xusheng also departed, Luo Ziling returned to the university.

He wasn’t worried about his grandfather or his father, Luo Xusheng, getting into trouble.

If they were truly in trouble, it would be a serious matter indeed.

When Luo Ziling got back to the university, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.

There was still one class he could attend, and after noticing no one was in the dormitory, Luo Ziling hesitated for a moment but decided to go to class after all.

Yang Qingyin was in class, Luo Yuqing was also in class, and the three guys from his dormitory were likewise in class; Luo Ziling, with nothing else to do, felt he should also go to class. Otherwise, he would be wasting too much time. Luo Ziling’s sudden appearance in the last class was a surprise to everyone.

“Boss, why did you suddenly come to class?” Cao Jianhui quickly sat down next to Luo Ziling, asking with a gossipy expression, “Aren’t you supposed to be with your goddess? Or did you suddenly break up?”

As a result, Cao Jianhui’s question was met with an angry glare from Luo Ziling, who promptly shut his mouth.

When Luo Ziling entered the classroom, it happened to be the end of the previous class, so not only did Cao Jianhui come over, but others did as well. Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang kept asking why Luo Ziling had suddenly shown up.

Luo Ziling drove them away with impatience.

Luo Ziling hadn’t looked at the class schedule and stumbled into a lecture by mistake, a Marxism-Leninism class he had no interest in listening to.

Seeing the Marxism-Leninism Teacher enter his view, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but shiver – he had indeed brought trouble upon himself.

His premonition was correct; his appearance in the Marxism-Leninism class brought trouble for him.

After class, the Marxism-Leninism Teacher kept him back alone, stating there was something to discuss.

Luo Ziling hoped that the Marxism-Leninism Teacher only wanted to talk about his frequent truancy, but the outcome was disappointing.

The Marxism-Leninism Teacher’s questions were about matters related to Dai Shulan.
