Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: The Goal is Not Simple Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: The Goal is Not Simple After lunch, which was already past two oâclock, Luo Ziling excused himself, saying he had other matters to attend to.
Ouyang Feifei didnât try to keep him.
As they left Ouyang Feifeiâs place, Yang Xiaodong curiously asked Luo Ziling, âComrade young master, judging by Miss Ouyangâs demeanor, she doesnât seem too pleased with you. What happened? Couldnât close the deal, or did you not satisfy her?â
âGet lost!â Luo Ziling angrily kicked Yang Xiaodong, âIf you dare to spout nonsense about this stuff again, Iâll send you back to Tibet.â
Yang Xiaodong was startled, quickly capitulated, and promised not to make such slip-ups in the future; he even asked Luo Ziling to put in a few good words for him in front of Luo Xusheng.
When they returned to Ling Ruonanâs place, Ling Ruonan was discussing matters with Wuyue.
As Luo Ziling entered, the two women immediately ceased their conversation.
âMiss, Iâll go and take care of some business,â Wuyue stood up and then said to Luo Ziling, âYoung master, I still need to make arrangements for tonightâs opening. Iâll head over there early, and Iâve asked someone to prepare dinner.â
âIâve invited Fang Dongxun, Yang Qingye, Ouyang Feifei, Luo Yuqing, Chen Xiaoyi, Fang Qianqian, Chen Xiaoxiao, and Yang Qingyinâthey should all come, so please reserve seats for them,â
âOkay, Iâve already arranged it and will give further instructions,â Wuyue agreed very appropriately, and, hearing no further instructions from Luo Ziling, she left.
âWuyue is quite reliable when it comes to doing things. I never worry when I let her take charge,â Ling Ruonan smiled at Luo Ziling, âIâm even considering having her help manage our household in the future.â
âMom, are you planning to have her as your housekeeper or as your daughter-in-law?â
âWhat do you think?â
âI really donât know!â Luo Ziling chuckled, not knowing how to respond.
Ling Ruonan didnât dwell on this topic and instead began talking about the meal she had just had with Li Jiawei and Wang Feiyang.
âThey both seem quite fond of you,â Ling Ruonan said with a twinkle in her eye, âWhat do you think of Wang Feiyang?â
âIt seems like weâre not quite the same type of people,â Luo Ziling said with a wry smile, âMom, youâre not thinking of having her as your daughter-in-law, are you?â
Ling Ruonan just smiled and didnât answer Luo Zilingâs question directly but said, âMom thinks all these girls around you are quite nice. Whichever one you choose to be your wife, Mom will accept.â
âMom, why does your attitude keep changing?â Luo Ziling was surprised.
âBut Mom doesnât hope youâll be too flighty when it comes to matters of the heart and marriage.â
âSo, youâre saying you donât hope that I choose Yang Qingyin?â
âMom didnât mean that,â Ling Ruonan shook her head, âYang Qingyin is a very nice girlâbeautiful, good figure, well-mannered, generous. A woman who can be known as one of the âYanjing Beautiesâ along with Ouyang Feifei, how could she be lacking? The only regret is that our family has unresolved grievances with the Yang Family; the Yang Family people definitely wonât agree to this marriage at the moment. Alright, Iâve previously mentioned my stance to you. You need to make your own choices regarding marriage; what Mom and others can do is just offer you some advice. Our suggestions definitely have your best interest at heart. You donât have to take them, but you should seriously consider them.â
âMom, thank you,â Luo Zilingâs gratitude was heartfelt.
Ling Ruonan was so democratic, and of course, Luo Ziling was grateful.
âI will definitely make a careful decision.â
âLove and marriage are two different things, and Mom only really understood that after she matured.â
âMom, does that mean you regret choosing Dad?â
âIf I had known there would be such tribulations later on, I definitely would have thought it over, but,â Ling Ruonan said, looking earnestly at Luo Ziling, âonce you make a choice, you must stick to it. You are the crystallization of our love, and with you here, we have no regrets. I am a stubborn person. Once I set my mind on something, even if I get knocked down and bleed, I wonât turn back. But I donât want you to be like that. You have so many choices now, so you need to consider them carefully. Itâs fine to have several relationships, but just donât make a mess that you canât clean up.â
âAlright,â Luo Ziling sighed, âIâll remember your words.â
While mother and son were talking, Yang Qingyin called to ask where Luo Ziling was.
Luo Ziling told Yang Qingyin that he was with Ling Ruonan.
âIâm with Qingye, can we come over and see your mom?â Yang Qingyin whispered to Luo Ziling.
âOf course,â Luo Ziling agreed without asking for Ling Ruonanâs opinion.
After hanging up, Luo Ziling then told Ling Ruonan about Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye wanting to come over for a visit.
âThey probably want to join us for the bar opening ceremony tonight, right?â Ling Ruonan didnât show any displeasure.
âYes, they are planning to attend tonightâs opening ceremony.â
Soon, Yang Qingye and Yang Qingyin appeared in Ling Ruonanâs villa.
They had just been not far from Ling Ruonanâs villa, and Yang Qingyin had guessed Luo Ziling was there, which is why she called him.
After seeing Ling Ruonan, Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye both came forward to greet her, and they also brought gifts.
Ling Ruonan didnât refuse, thanked them, and accepted the gifts.
Ling Ruonan had Luo Ziling discuss the planned equity distribution and management model of âNight North Barâ in front of everyone.
After hearing what Luo Ziling said, Yang Qingye and Yang Qingyin had no objections, although Yang Qingyin was a bit surprised that Wuyue held a certain percentage of Night North Bar.
However, she didnât ask anything in front of Ling Ruonan.
âMrs. Ling,â Yang Qingye said with a giggle after Yang Qingyin finished speaking, âI think, the barâs yearly profit may not be that much, and having someone personally manage such a small part seems like making a mountain out of a molehill, doesnât it?!â
Yang Qingyin glared at Yang Qingye for his blunder, wondering how he could ask such a foolish question.
She knew Yang Qingye was only curious and meant no harm, but what if Ling Ruonan took it the wrong way?
Fortunately, Ling Ruonan wasnât offended and answered with a smile, âThis is Zilingâs first business venture, and I donât want to see him fail. So, Iâm letting my people help him. I also hope that Zilingâs status can be elevated through my involvement.â
Although Ling Ruonan said this, Yang Qingyin knew there were other reasons behind Ling Ruonanâs direct involvement in the bar.
The bar had been taken from Chen Jiahai, and Ling Ruonanâs direct involvement was to let others know that she supported Luo Zilingâs actions from behind, and she also planned to use the bar to collaborate with the Yang Family and the Fang Family.
It meant that those who wished to harm Luo Ziling should think twice before acting, to avoid displeasing everyone.
For someone like Ling Ruonan, the motives behind her actions were never so simple.
