Chapter 1112 - 1112 1112 Hope They Are More Rational

Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112: Hope They Are More Rational Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112: Hope They Are More Rational Luo Yuqing headed back to the party and went straight to Luo Ziling to talk.

Luo Ziling hadn’t yet told her what Wu Ningjing had said to him just before.

Eager to know what the two had discussed, Luo Yuqing naturally approached Luo Ziling first.

“Junior, can you tell me now what my mom said to you?”

After asking this with a smile, Luo Yuqing moved closer to Luo Ziling and looped her arm through his, looking very intimate.

With Yang Qingyin gone, she had no reservations, even if others regarded Luo Ziling as her boyfriend, she didn’t care at all.

Luo Ziling could even feel the soft parts of her body pressing against his arm, which made him a bit embarrassed.

Nevertheless, he told Luo Yuqing some of what Wu Ningjing had said.

After listening, Luo Yuqing wasn’t much surprised and even chuckled happily.

“I guessed this was the situation,” she whispered into Luo Ziling’s ear with a gossipy demeanor, “I once asked my mom if she had drugged your dad or seduced him by other means, but she firmly denied it and warned me not to pry. I didn’t expect her to actually tell you.”

Luo Ziling suddenly felt awkward and didn’t know how to respond.

“It looks like the chances of us being siblings are above ninety-nine percent,” Luo Yuqing laughed for a while and then said somewhat gloomily, “Just when I find a guy that I really like in every way, he turns out to be my own brother. That’s really dull.”

At that moment, Wu Ningjing, who had been watching them, approached.

She eyed Luo Yuqing holding Luo Ziling’s arm and said softly, “Yuqing, is it appropriate for you to do this in front of so many guests?”

Luo Yuqing immediately replied, “Mom, you’re adamant that Ziling is my brother, so what’s inappropriate about an elder sister holding her brother’s arm?”

Wu Ningjing was left speechless by Luo Yuqing’s words and didn’t know how to reply.

Eventually, she stiffened up and warned them, “You are siblings; you mustn’t cross the line, or it would be incest.”

Luo Yuqing blushed, but still stubbornly said, “Mom, I know, but it hasn’t been proven that we are siblings, has it?”

“Just look, do you and Ziling look alike?” While facing Luo Ziling’s peculiar gaze, Wu Ningjing felt a bit embarrassed but still reminded Luo Yuqing, “I’m sure, you two are related by blood.”

“Alright, alright, I got it,” Luo Yuqing retorted irritably to Wu Ningjing and then said, “Go on, I need to talk to Ziling for a bit.”

Wu Ningjing sighed and left Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing to attend to other guests.

“The drama’s over, I need to keep some sobriety. The guests also need my attention,” Luo Yuqing let go of Luo Ziling’s arm and got ready to attend to the guests. Before leaving, she reminded Luo Ziling, “You can’t leave early today; you have to wait until the party ends.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling agreed.

While Luo Yuqing attended to the guests, Luo Ziling stayed with Cao Jianhui and others, drinking and eating.

He didn’t actively greet other guests, but still, many approached him, and he responded with neither humility nor arrogance.

The highlight of the birthday party was already over, and the next big event was cutting the cake.

Luo Ziling knew, wealthy families like these hosted large-scale parties not just to celebrate their children’s birthdays but also to build relationships with other families, and sometimes even to announce special matters.

Wu Ningjing’s insistence on throwing a birthday party for Luo Yuqing, apart from celebrating Luo Yuqing’s birthday, undoubtedly had another motive.

To let everyone know that Luo Yuqing no longer bore the surname Li but Luo, and that she wasn’t the daughter of the Li Family, was Wu Ningjing’s main objective.

Yuqing was well aware of her situation, and thus, she did not resist much.

Because of her conflicts with some members of the Li Family, Yuqing had a poor impression of them, even holding reservations about her own brother.

Moreover, driven by some personal wishes, she readily accepted her mother Ningjing’s suggestion to change her surname to Luo when she went to college.

Today, her mother publicly announced her name change, effectively declaring to everyone that she had separated from the Li Family and become a daughter of the Luo Family.

She did not oppose this arrangement and thus accepted her mother’s plan, resulting in this birthday party.

Originally, she had been worried that trouble might arise during the birthday party, but apart from Lin Zecheng and Ziling’s conflict, there were no other incidents.

Her fears that the Li Family and her brother, Xiaoqing, would cause trouble did not materialize, which was a relief to her.

Additionally, tonight’s performance with Ziling and the piano piece presented by Qingyin made her feel very happy about this birthday.

By eight o’clock in the evening, the party was nearly over.

A large cake was brought out, ready to be shared with the guests.

After the cake was eaten, the birthday celebration came to an end.

Before cutting the cake, Yuqing addressed the guests who had attended her birthday party.

She began by thanking her parents for their nurturing love and also expressed her aspirations and desires for her future life.

At last, she declared in front of all the attendees, “From now on, I am Yuqing Luo, and my life has nothing to do with the Li Family.”

Yuqing’s statement surprised most people present, even Ziling was astonished.

Ziling was also puzzled, unable to understand why Yuqing would make such a public statement.

If Yuqing had not made this public statement, many would still regard her as a daughter of the Li Family and look at her favorably because of the Li Family’s influence. Without the protection of the Li Family identity, what would Yuqing have?

However, Ziling also knew that Yuqing must have had her reasons for acting this way.

It was possible that the conflicts between Yuqing, her mother, and the Li Family had already become intense, and the Li Family could no longer accommodate them.

With this thought, Ziling’s eyes shifted to Xiaoqing.

He saw that this boy, who appeared more mature than his peers, stood expressionlessly aside, not even looking at Yuqing.

This made Ziling feel uneasy.

He thought it was necessary to find a time to have a serious conversation with Yuqing about the Li Family, especially about Xiaoqing.

After sharing the cake, many guests said their farewells to Yuqing and Ningjing.

Ziling did not leave immediately. Instead, he waited until most of the guests had gone before approaching Yuqing.

He was surprised to find that Yuqing had drunk too much, her face flushed and more charming and lovely than usual, and she was also speaking louder than usual, clearly somewhat emotionally uncontrolled.

Seeing Ziling approaching, she giggled, moved closer, and looped her arms through his.

Yuqing’s act of clinging to Ziling’s arm in front of many departing guests in such an intimate manner made Ningjing’s face color change. But in front of the guests, she could not reprimand Yuqing, which made her quite embarrassed.

She could only hope that the two of them would remain rational and not do anything irreversible.
