Chapter 927 - 927 927 How can you say that

Chapter 927: Chapter 927 How can you say that Chapter 927: Chapter 927 How can you say that “Of course she thought of that, and it was only after her reminder that I understood we could handle things this way,” Luo Ziling said with a laugh. “Mom, I’m not scheming against their siblings, but rather, I hope the Chen Family can share some of the Yang Family’s anger towards us and also keep the Chen Family, who wishes us ill, in check. Heh, I hope to stir up trouble among the major families.”

“Alright, you did a good job with this,” Ling Ruonan praised Luo Ziling. “Creating conflict between the Yang Family and the Chen Family actually works out better for us. If we can get the major families to fight and clash with each other, our pressure will be relatively reduced.”

Hearing Ling Ruonan say this, Luo Ziling breathed a sigh of relief. “Mom, I thought you hurriedly called me here to scold me.”

“Ah, I did underestimate you a bit, actually managing to snatch the Night North Bar from Chen Jiahai’s hands,” Ling Ruonan said with another smile. “You’re much more astute than your father. If he had thought of these moves back then, the outcome would not have been as it was later on.”

“Mom, you’re not blaming me for stirring things up?” Luo Ziling asked, somewhat surprised.

“Chen Jiahai will definitely not let things go easily; you must be careful and on your guard. This man is not simple. But he will definitely have his reservations now and won’t retaliate openly. What you really need to be cautious of now is the people from the Ling Family,” Ling Ruonan said with a sigh. “After today’s events, Ling Zhengping absolutely loathes you to the bone. He surely won’t take this humiliation lying down and will definitely look for a way to retaliate.”

“Mom, are you saying I was too arrogant today?”

Ling Ruonan remained silent, which was as good as an affirmation.

“Mom, I know I went a bit too far today, but Ling Zhengping is even worse,” Luo Ziling turned to look at Ling Ruonan. “Actually, even if I hadn’t made a scene today, he would have resented us just the same. By tearing off the facade and having it out with him, all that has changed is that our struggle has become overt. Maybe that’s a good thing; with everything out in the open, we can have fewer concerns. Maybe, they will even be wary of us. I believe that in human interactions, it’s like a balance: if you are strong, the other party is weak. Anyway, they’re a big family with a big business, why should I, barefooted, be afraid of them?”

“How can you talk like that?” Ling Ruonan was actually quite troubled; she really didn’t want Luo Ziling to become so estranged with the Ling Family.

Even though she knew very well Ling Zhengping was prejudiced against them, as long as they didn’t openly clash, there was still room for maneuvering.

Once they openly tore into each other and put the conflict and strife out in the open, there was no way to be circuitous.

However, Ling Ruonan didn’t want to blame Luo Ziling either; it’s normal for young people to act impulsively.

It’s completely understandable to rise up and fight back when faced with slander and provocation from others.

Luckily, neither Ling Jinhua nor Ling Mingrui had shown any interest in punishing Luo Ziling for his dispute with Ling Zhengping. According to the information she had gathered, Ling Jinhua seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Ling Zhengping’s actions.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief; she hoped Luo Ziling wouldn’t act so extremely in front of Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui.

If these two most influential members of the Ling Family became disgusted with him, Luo Ziling’s life would definitely be more difficult than it is now.

She would also rapidly lose some things.

“Mom, I’ll take your words to heart,” Luo Ziling didn’t want to argue with Ling Ruonan and shifted the topic instead. “The people from the Ling Family who were sequestered to the Northern Group, have they left or are they still there?”

“They have left, as it was impossible for them to stay. However, I didn’t relieve them of their duties,” Ling Ruonan sighed lightly. “Now that you have completely offended Ling Zhengping and his son Ling Haining, you must be careful not to fall for their schemes. After all, their influence in Yanjing is far greater than you can compare to. Don’t worry about the Northern Group, it will surely be yours in the future.”

“Mom, I never intended to have the Northern Group for myself. I just don’t want to be bullied by them. I don’t provoke others unless provoked,” Luo Ziling replied with some indignation. “If they continue to target me with their actions, I won’t just sit back and take it.”

“Well then, Mom knows she can’t persuade you, she can only stand shoulder to shoulder with you in battle,” Ling Ruonan said. Suddenly, she felt there was nothing left to say to Luo Ziling. When she had called him over today, she thought she had a lot to communicate with Luo Ziling, and she also intended to give him a good talking to.

But to her surprise, after talking for a while, she felt she had run out of things to say and couldn’t help feeling a little uneasy.

“Mom, are you very disappointed in me?” asked Luo Ziling, seeing that Ling Ruonan had fallen silent.

“No, how could I be?” Ling Ruonan shook her head. “I’m just surprised. I originally thought that after you left the small mountain village to come to Yanjing, it would take some time for you to adjust. I didn’t expect you to adapt so quickly and even learn to be sly. Mom is happy about that, it proves that you have grown up. But with the situation being so complicated now, I’m afraid you might be at a disadvantage. If something unexpected happened to you, what would you have Mom do…”

Seeing Ling Ruonan was getting a bit emotional, Luo Ziling felt a little guilty. He reached out, put his arm around her shoulders, drew her into his embrace, and comforted her softly, “Mom, it’s okay, I definitely won’t have any problems. The worst-case scenario is that we leave Yanjing, give up everything, and start a different life anew. If we can give up everything, what’s there to worry about?”

“Alright,” Ling Ruonan leaned her head on Luo Ziling’s shoulder and agreed softly, “Since you are so open-minded, I won’t lecture you further. Are you going to sleep here tonight, or will you go back to school?”

“I’ll go back to the school to sleep. I have classes tomorrow,” Luo Ziling, still thinking of keeping Yang Qingyin company, decided not to stay over.

Ling Ruonan didn’t insist and let him go.

As Luo Ziling left the villa and returned to school, Ling Ruonan called Wuyue in and gave him a set of secret instructions.

Wuyue understood and immediately set out to carry out Ling Ruonan’s orders.

—

Although it was already nine o’clock, for many people, the nightlife was just beginning.

Not far from Guang’anmen, a few young members of the Ling Family were enjoying themselves in a luxurious club.

Ling Haining, Ling Haijun, Ling Zhengjian, and some of their friends had gathered there to while away the time.

In the midst of their fun, Ling Haijun’s phone rang. After running to the bathroom to answer the call, he rushed back to Ling Haining’s side.

“Brother, I just heard that tonight, Luo Ziling had a big fight with Chen Jiahai,” Ling Haijun whispered into Ling Haining’s ear, “Luo Ziling went to Night North Bar with Yang Qingye to cause trouble for Chen Jiahai. The police got involved but ultimately didn’t interfere.”

“What was the outcome?” Ling Haining immediately became excited.

“Chen Jiahai was on the losing end,” Ling Haijun said regretfully, “It seems they managed to find out that some issues were orchestrated by Chen Jiahai, so they made direct threats. In the end, Chen Jiahai gave up Night North Bar to Luo Ziling.”

Having said this, Ling Haijun paused, then continued with confusion, “But in the end, Luo Ziling didn’t take the bar and instead, he handed it over to Yang Qingyin.”

“What?” Ling Haining was taken aback upon hearing Ling Haijun’s words.
