Chapter 910 - 910 910 Then Go Ahead and Struggle on Your Own

Chapter 910: Chapter 910: Then Go Ahead and Struggle on Your Own Chapter 910: Chapter 910: Then Go Ahead and Struggle on Your Own Luo Ziling asked for paper and pen, wrote out a prescription, and then instructed the staff on precautions to take when purchasing and preparing the medicine.

After dispensing the prescription, Luo Ziling took his leave, saying he would come back tomorrow to treat Ling Jinhua further.

He advised Ling Jinhua to rest well and refrain from eating at the moment, because his gastrointestinal function had been affected that day and should not be further irritated with food.

Increased intestinal movements would definitely cause discomfort for Ling Jinhua.

After giving instructions to Ling Jinhua, Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan left the Ling Family Old Mansion.

When they left, Ling Mingrui and Ling Zhengping were still in Ling Jinhua’s room.

Ling Mingrui actually came to discuss some important personnel arrangements with Ling Jinhua that day, and he had also summoned Ling Zhengping over.

Unexpectedly, they just happened to encounter Ling Jinhua suffering from poisoning, shocking both of them. Seeing the symptoms of poisoning in Ling Jinhua, Ling Zhengping personally called the hospital to send an ambulance.

However, Ling Jinhua instructed Secretary Huang Chen and Ling Mingrui to immediately get Luo Ziling.

In the morning, he felt some discomfort in his stomach, but he didn’t pay much attention to it, so he only asked Huang Chen to call Ling Ruonan and have her bring Luo Ziling over to examine him at noon. He hadn’t expected his condition to deteriorate later on.

Ling Jinhua refused to accept treatment from the hospital doctors, hence he declined Ling Zhengping’s suggestion to go to the hospital and chose to wait for Luo Ziling instead. Neither Ling Jinhua nor Ling Mingrui expected that Ling Zhengping would publicly argue with Luo Ziling when he arrived.

Ling Jinhua expressed his dissatisfaction outright, and after Luo Ziling had left, he sternly reprimanded Ling Zhengping with a cold face.

“Both your father and I had high hopes for you, but you’ve disappointed us greatly,” Ling Jinhua, disregarding his need for rest, had someone help him sit up. Then, without mincing words, he began to scold Ling Zhengping, “Whatever the situation, you should never have had a public quarrel with such a junior. Even if you had won the argument with your sharp tongue, what good would it have done?”

“Grandfather, I was wrong. I was just impulsive at the time,” Ling Zhengping had calmed down, so when he heard Ling Jinhua reprimand him like this, he immediately admitted his mistake, “I thought everything was his doing, even attempting to take your life, and in my anger, I publicly chastised him. But I didn’t expect this young fellow to be so audacious, insulting us all in the process.”

“During my 90th birthday celebrations, he dared to fight openly in the old mansion. Do you think he would regard you, who has always been plotting against his mother, as an uncle?” Ling Jinhua scoffed coldly, “We had such high hopes for you, but you’ve continually disappointed us. It seems you need further refining before you can take on greater responsibilities. How old are you, still acting so impulsively? Being called scum, said to be worse than pigs and dogs, do you think you still have any dignity in front of him and his mother? He’s barefoot now and not afraid of you, the one who wears shoes.”

As Ling Jinhua scolded him this way, Ling Zhengping actually felt relieved. What he feared most was his grandfather not saying anything and simply telling him to leave.

If that was the case, then his grandfather would have truly been disappointed in him.

Now, his grandfather still had hope for him and would also give him the opportunity to grow. However, it was certain that there would be punishment involved. This time, he wouldn’t be able to move up in the personnel changes immediately. He would have to stay in his current position or a position of the same level for some time longer.

“Grandfather, I was wrong, thank you for your reprimand,” Ling Zhengping wisely chose not to mention the fact that he had been schemed against. He knew that there was no need to tell his grandfather and father about such matters, otherwise, they would think even less of him.

However, Ling Jinhua brought up the topic himself, “Are the injuries on your face the work of the Luo Family?”

“Grandfather, it was just a minor accident, nothing serious,” Ling Zhengping shook his head and even managed a smile.

Ling Jinhua didn’t say much more and waved his hand, signaling Ling Zhengping to leave.

After Ling Zhengping left, only Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui, the two elders, remained in the room.

“Dad, what do you think about this matter?” Ling Mingrui took the initiative to ask.

“I just woke up and was chatting with you for a while,” Ling Jinhua gestured for Ling Mingrui to sit down, then told him about Luo Xusheng’s return. “Your son-in-law had once come back, and if I’m not mistaken, he’s the one who took revenge on Zhengping. The injury on Zhengping’s face is his doing.”

Ling Mingrui, who was unaware that Luo Xusheng had returned to Yanjing, couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this, “He dared to be so bold?”

“Zhengping doesn’t know that it was Luo Xusheng’s doing. He thinks it’s Luo Ziling’s trickery, which is why he lost his temper so badly today and even lost his reason. It seems the injury isn’t severe, but the blow to his pride is considerable,” said Ling Jinhua, sighing lightly, “The Ling Family is less impressive with each generation. It truly validates the saying: ‘Born in adversity, one thrives; coddled in prosperity, one perishes; it’s not a good thing indeed!’

Although Ling Mingrui felt somewhat unconvinced, he didn’t argue with the old man, but followed his lead, “Zhengping indeed needs more tempering. At his age, he’s still impulsive and incapable of discerning the gravity of situations. By the way, Dad, who do you think orchestrated today’s incident?”

“Three days ago, a group of juniors came to visit me,” Ling Jinhua spoke calmly: “I never imagined, amongst my great-grandchildren, someone would dare use me, an old man, to deal with a peer. Heh!”

Upon hearing this, Ling Mingrui’s expression darkened, and he quickly spoke, “Dad, rest assured, I will personally investigate this matter and find the person who drugged you. Once we find the culprit, they will receive severe punishment.”

“Forget it,” Ling Jinhua’s demeanor seemed a bit desolate, “Let’s leave this matter be. I believe that the real culprit, upon learning of this, will be scared witless. The Luo kid has already caused chaos within the Ling Family, if we start in-fighting, it’ll be an even greater mess.”

But this time, Ling Mingrui didn’t follow Ling Jinhua’s instruction and instead insisted on his own opinion: “Dad, we still need to investigate this matter. Otherwise, the younger generation might plot against you again. Such insubordination and chaos cannot be tolerated. Rest assured, I won’t make a big deal out of it. Just by getting the list of those who visited you that day, I can guess who was behind it. Anyone who resorts to such despicable tactics shows their true character, and cannot be entrusted with significant responsibilities.”

“Alright then, go ahead and get it sorted,” Ling Jinhua didn’t stop him any longer and then asked Ling Mingrui, “What do you think of the Luo lad?”

Ling Mingrui replied without much thought, “This kid is quite astute and scheming, yet he’s somehow innocent and prone to acting on impulse. If given the opportunity to properly hone himself, he could become a great figure one day. If we consider him a member of the Ling Family, then he’s one of the most outstanding among the younger Ling generation. However, I am quite angry about his outburst at Zhengping today.”

“Then let’s lend him a helping hand. He might turn out to be a great help to the Ling Family someday.”

Ling Mingrui paused, surprised that after expressing his point of view, Ling Jinhua would still say this, but in the end, he nodded his head in agreement!
