Chapter 1183 - 1183 1183 Be Careful Yourself

Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183: Be Careful Yourself Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183: Be Careful Yourself “Do you have time today? I’d like to have a chat with you!” Chen Xiaoyi’s voice betrayed no emotion.

Luo Ziling went straight to the point and asked Chen Xiaoyi, “Is it about your brother?”

Chen Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment but did not deny it: “Yes.”

“Well, let’s talk after dinner then,” Luo Ziling did not refuse Chen Xiaoyi’s request, “I was just about to have dinner.”

“Alright,” Chen Xiaoyi didn’t waste any more words, “then call me later, don’t stand me up.”

After hanging up the phone, Luo Ziling looked at his cell phone with a wry smile.

He pondered what Chen Xiaoyi would say when she saw him later, and how he should respond to Chen Xiaoyi’s questions.

Soon, Ling Ruonan and Wuyue emerged from the kitchen.

Dinner was all of Luo Ziling’s favorite dishes. Having been quite hungry already, Luo Ziling’s stomach grumbled, subconsciously making its presence known.

The rumbling was intense, and feeling a bit embarrassed, Luo Ziling started eating without waiting for Ling Ruonan’s invitation.

“Yang Xiaodong is back, and Wang Zhenjun’s matter has also been settled. If you go out, take them with you,” Ling Ruonan chose not to start with Chen Jiahai’s issue but instead cautioned, “Try to go out less if it’s not necessary, to avoid trouble.”

While eating, Luo Ziling replied to Ling Ruonan, “Chen Xiaoyi just called me to discuss some matters, and I agreed to meet her.”

“Oh?” Ling Ruonan raised her pretty eyebrows, “Is she coming to confront you?”

“What have I done for her to confront me?” Luo Ziling mumbled.

Ling Ruonan ate her meal gracefully and spoke softly, “Before the incident, Chen Wanqing approached you. Once the Chen Family learns about this, they will definitely suspect your involvement. Unless, they don’t know about it.”

“At the meeting, Chen Wanqing looked entirely different from usual, she called herself Huang Menglan; and when she was with Chen Jiahai, she wore a different appearance, and her name was Chen Wanqing.” Luo Ziling smiled at Ling Ruonan, “I believe hardly anyone knows I was ever together with Chen Wanqing, nor that she was intimidated by me. I also trust that Chen Wanqing hasn’t divulged anything about this.”

“Don’t you think there are many loopholes in this?” Ling Ruonan gave Luo Ziling a look, “If Chen Wanqing tells others that you coerced her, you won’t be able to clear your name.”

“Mom, sometimes many loopholes actually aren’t loopholes. It’s the one missed detail amidst a hundred precautions that’s fatal,” Luo Ziling implied meaningfully.

After Wuyue and Ling Ruonan discussed some confidential matters, and given Ling Ruonan’s intelligence, she quickly understood what Luo Ziling was getting at, and just went silent for a while.

“Alright, just be careful,” Ling Ruonan shifted her tone, “If any trouble arises, it’s still best to have Dragon Rise’s people handle it.”

“Yes,” Luo Ziling nodded, “Chen Jiahai even dared to attack Dragon Rise’s people in his attempt to kill me. His courage is a bit too excessive!”

“Trust that Lin Lan has already proactively filled in the gaps for you,” Ling Ruonan said, a smile showing.

“I’ll ask her about it someday!”

“Don’t go asking,” Ling Ruonan shook her head, “If she doesn’t tell you, don’t ask. If she doesn’t want to disclose it to you, then just act as if these things never happened.”

After thinking it over, Luo Ziling understood Ling Ruonan’s intention and nodded again, “I understand.”

Ling Ruonan didn’t probe further into Luo Ziling’s affairs and, having already obtained a clear understanding of the situation from Wuyue, saw no need to question Luo Ziling more.

After finishing the meal, Ling Ruonan also let Luo Ziling leave first.

Luo Ziling left with another reminder, which meant not to hide his feelings too much when facing Chen Xiaoyi. He had harbored hatred towards Chen Jiahai before, and now he needs to show that hatred and even take pleasure in Chen Jiahai’s misfortunes.

Luo Ziling knew that Ling Ruonan was just concerned that he had too little social experience, which is why she gave such instructions, and he immediately agreed.

When he left the villa, Luo Ziling saw Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun were both around and immediately called them to come along.

“Comrade young master,” Yang Xiaodong said with a grin, “I’m back, and I can continue to accompany you in putting on airs and picking up girls.”

“Me too,” Wang Zhenjun echoed, with an equally unserious face.

Yang Xiaodong’s words were overheard by Wuyue who had come out to see Luo Ziling off.

Wuyue’s face turned cold, and she glared at Yang Xiaodong, “Don’t lead the young master astray with all that nonsense.”

“Yes, yes!” Yang Xiaodong hurriedly agreed.

He was somewhat afraid of Wuyue, and what’s more, Wuyue was very beautiful, and he always liked to listen to beautiful women.

“Let’s go, I have to meet someone,” Luo Ziling waved to Wuyue and then signaled for Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun to leave with him.

Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun both knew about the conflict between Chen Jiahai and Chen Wanqing which ended with one injured and one dead.

They were also already helping Luo Ziling investigate the matter, erasing any traces of his involvement.

Wuyue wasn’t worried about Luo Ziling, and neither was Ling Ruonan overly concerned, also because of what Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun had been doing.

On the way, Wang Zhenjun and Yang Xiaodong didn’t talk about the matter of Chen Jiahai. It was a bit of an unexpected incident that they had not been involved in, and there was no need to discuss it.

When leaving Ling Ruonan’s home, Luo Ziling called Chen Xiaoyi to ask where she was.

“I just left the hospital,” Chen Xiaoyi said while driving, using the car’s Bluetooth, “You name the place, I’ll come to you.”

Luo Ziling mentioned a coffee house not far from the school and told Chen Xiaoyi to meet him there.

Chen Xiaoyi didn’t refuse and said she would arrive in about twenty minutes.

Chen Xiaoyi was very punctual; she arrived in front of Luo Ziling exactly twenty minutes later.

Chen Xiaoyi still looked very beautiful today when she appeared in front of Luo Ziling.

However, her expression was a bit somber, and the look in her eyes when she saw Luo Ziling was also a bit complicated.

“Here you are,” Luo Ziling smiled as he stood up to greet her, “What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?”

“Coffee, and get me some food too,” Chen Xiaoyi sat down across from Luo Ziling, “I haven’t had dinner yet.”

“Sure,” Luo Ziling didn’t refuse. It was already past eight o’clock, and she still hadn’t had dinner, which suggested that Chen Xiaoyi was going through a lot of emotional turmoil.

Luo Ziling had the waiter bring over a set meal, plus some fruit salad.

Luo Ziling sat back down across from Chen Xiaoyi, toying with his teacup, and asked softly, “What did you want to ask me?”

But to Luo Ziling’s surprise, what Chen Xiaoyi asked was not what he had anticipated. It was something he had never even considered.
