Chapter 1224 - 1224 1224 Asking for Trouble

Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: Asking for Trouble Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: Asking for Trouble Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan arrived at Ling Mingrui’s villa around six o’clock.

The traffic at this time was incredibly congested, and no matter what, their car could not speed up.

When they arrived, Ling Mingrui was already sitting there, drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

Xie Enhua was not in sight, likely busy in the kitchen.

“Here you are,” Ling Mingrui looked up and greeted them when he saw Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling come in, then continued to bury his eyes in the newspaper.

“Dad, where’s Mom?” Ling Ruonan sat next to Ling Mingrui and asked softly.

“She’s in the kitchen, preparing good dishes for you!” Ling Mingrui pointed in the direction of the kitchen, “Knowing you were coming, she specially went to the vegetable market to buy some dishes you like to eat, and is cooking herself.”

“I’ll go help,” Ling Ruonan said, handing her bag to Luo Ziling, then took off her outerwear and went to the kitchen.

“Grandpa, you got back so early today,” Luo Ziling approached Ling Mingrui, who was still reading the paper, and began to recount the events of the day.

“Oh?!” Ling Mingrui immediately reacted after hearing Luo Ziling’s account, lifting his eyes from the paper, “Why the quarrel?”

Luo Ziling narrated the dispute between the two sides.

“It’s very normal,” Ling Mingrui said indifferently after listening, “They consider you the prime suspect in harming their son, and you also want to woo their daughter, it would be strange if they weren’t angry!”

“Today, if it weren’t for Chen Xiaoxiao holding me back, I might have slapped Jiang Nan.”

“What isn’t there that you dare not do?” Ling Mingrui responded, unfazed, as his eyes returned to the newspaper, “At the old master’s ninetieth birthday, you were bold enough to cause a ruckus. Striking a person unrelated to you is quite a normal thing to do.”

Luo Ziling got a bit angry, Ling Mingrui seemingly had no reaction at all, and said somewhat petulantly, “Well, if they dare to humiliate me again next time, I’ll take action.”

Ling Mingrui threw the newspaper away, took off his reading glasses, and looked at Luo Ziling as if he was looking at a monster, “It seems that you’re not afraid of making enemies everywhere!”

Luo Ziling spoke dismissively, “If it comes to that, I’ll just retreat back to the Northwest, they wouldn’t chase me down to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, would they?”

Ling Mingrui said coldly, “If they really get to the point where they must kill you, do you think you could still survive?”

Yet Luo Ziling showed no fear, “If they corner me to the point of no return, any harm they suffer would be too much for them to bear.”

Ling Mingrui still had no special response, “When you’re young, you’re always ignorant and fearless.”

“I think so too,” Luo Ziling nodded, agreeing with what Ling Mingrui said, “That’s why, when you’re young, you can afford to be more flamboyant.”

“With lessons, comes experience,” Ling Mingrui glanced at Luo Ziling, “You’d better be wise.”

After a pause, he added, “One thing I must remind you, you have a mother by your side, and many times, you need to consider your family when you act.”

“I got it,” Luo Ziling felt somewhat bored.

He knew he shouldn’t have told Ling Mingrui about this; it felt a bit like he was seeking disappointment.

During dinner, Luo Ziling didn’t say much; most of the time, it was Xie Enhua and Ling Ruonan who spoke.

Women talk a lot, that’s an eternal truth, especially when two women with some experience gather together and have a very close relationship.

Anyway, Luo Ziling and Ling Mingrui just kept listening to them talk about trivial matters.

After dinner and a brief rest, Luo Ziling gave Ling Mingrui another treatment.

During this period, Ling Mingrui felt pretty good about his spirit, so he was quite satisfied with the treatment results from Luo Ziling.

In the process of treatment, he didn’t know whether it was out of gratitude to Luo Ziling or for some other reason, but he unexpectedly said a few words.

“No matter what caused Chen Jiahai to end up this way, the Chen Family will blame you, so be careful of their retaliation. Moreover, don’t get too close to the daughter of the Chen Family, if you must do this, it will only lead to even more resentment from them. Think further ahead!”

“Thank you for the reminder, Grandfather; I’ll remember it.”

Ling Mingrui didn’t say anything more.

After the treatment was completed, Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan took their leave.

Xie Enhua saw them out to the parking area in the yard.

As Ling Ruonan was about to get into the car, Xie Enhua whispered a few words of instruction, “Nannan, you need to take more care of Ling’er. He just arrived in Yanjing and so many people are making life difficult for him; as his mother, you should really keep a close eye on things.”

“Mom, I’ll remember,” Ling Ruonan naturally agreed.

Xie Enhua then said to Luo Ziling, “Ling’er, come see your grandmother more often when you have time. If there’s anything, you can tell her, and she will discuss it with your grandfather. Your grandfather actually likes you a lot, he just doesn’t say it.”

“Grandmother, thank you,” said Luo Ziling sincerely, “I will definitely come to see you more often, and I’ll be careful.”

“Ah!” Xie Enhua gave a gentle sigh and said no more.

On the way back, Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling about his conversation with Ling Mingrui, and Luo Ziling didn’t hide anything, telling her everything.

After hearing it, Ling Ruonan pondered for a moment and then said, “Grandfather is actually quite unhappy with how the Chen Family people are treating you.”

“Maybe, but he didn’t show it.”

“In the future, if you need Grandfather’s help, you can talk to Grandmother first,” Ling Ruonan whispered, “She will definitely help you. Her words have a lot more influence on him than yours do.”

“I understand,” Luo Ziling nodded; he knew that today Ling Ruonan and Grandmother Xie Enhua must have discussed a lot.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t both be making these similar remarks.

“For now, you should stay away from Chen Xiaoyi,” Ling Ruonan requested softly, “You’ve already had multiple conflicts with Chen Yining and Jiang Nan. Whether it’s you or them, you’re both holding onto anger, and if you run into each other again, it will surely lead to even more severe conflicts.”

“But I promised Chen Xiaoyi that I would continue to treat her,” Luo Ziling felt troubled, “When I promise someone something, I should do it. Besides, Chen Xiaoyi’s injury isn’t fully healed yet; she needs to continue treatment.”

“Do you think, when you’re treating her and you end up in a conflict with her parents right in front of her, that it’s beneficial for her treatment? Her mood is definitely not going to be good, and a bad mood isn’t conducive to recovery,” Ling Ruonan quietly looked at Luo Ziling, “So, perhaps it’s better for her recovery if you don’t see her.”

Luo Ziling fell silent, clearly conflicted.

Ling Ruonan added, “You said last time that she’s past the most dangerous phase and is now slowly recovering. If you stop treating her, perhaps her recovery will just be a bit slower, after all, she’s lying in a hospital.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you!” In the end, Luo Ziling decided to follow Ling Ruonan’s advice and planned not to continue treating Chen Xiaoyi.
