Chapter 1320: Chapter 1320: Men’s Public Enemy

The Luo Family Old Mansion was teeming with people, all busily at work.

As the New Year approached, getting so many people to work was no small feat.

Seeing the old mansion transformed, Luo Liansheng was visibly excited, his face adorned with a broad smile.

He instructed the manager in charge to distribute red envelopes to everyone involved in the labor, assuring that he would bring the money over.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Feifei immediately ordered Wang Qing to handle it and reassured Luo Liansheng that everything would be taken care of under her supervision.

Wang Qing was not exactly keen on managing such tasks, knowing that she and Ouyang Feifei had a lot to prepare for the New Year.

Now, the two of them were staying in Yuezhou, dealing with these trivial matters, which really caused some frustration.

She was also aware of what Ouyang Feifei intended, hence deeply sympathetic towards her young mistress.

But after suggesting it once and being rejected by Ouyang Feifei, she didn’t dare to object again.

Ouyang Feifei’s instruction was not something she could refuse, and quickly arranged for the manager to give each person present a red envelope of five hundred.

Ouyang Feifei’s actions greatly pleased Luo Liansheng.

He asked Ouyang Feifei to provide some conveniences for Luo Liankai and Luo Lianguan, to have the laborers assist them in packing and moving things.

Ouyang Feifei naturally agreed.

Luo Liankai and Luo Lianguan seemed like completely different people, no longer hostile towards Luo Liansheng, but as warm as dear brothers.

This made Luo Ziling reflect with a sigh.

Could it be that their change in demeanor was because they knew of Luo Liansheng’s prosperous return, dazzled by his wealth?

In his view, the grandfather and his brothers were supposed to be rather similar.

Luo Liansheng’s character could be described as upright and fearless of the powerful, and Luo Ziling believed Luo Liankai and Luo Lianguan were likely the same.

It was indeed hard for him to understand the thoughts of these elderly men who grew up in the countryside.

However, seeing the harmony among the Luo brothers was a good thing, even if it was merely superficial, it would give Luo Liansheng some peace of mind.

The last thing Luo Ziling wanted was for his grandfather to feel disappointed and sad upon returning home, as it could affect the old man’s health.

Because he was having such a good time chatting with his brothers, Luo Liansheng decided not to join Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei at the Orchid Pavilion, letting them go on their own.

Seeing Luo Ziling somewhat reluctant, Ouyang Feifei immediately signalled him with her eyes and whispered softly, “It’s best for the old master and his brothers to catch up properly, having a good talk and some drinks at noon might just revive their brotherly bond.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling eventually agreed. However, remembering the unpleasant words he had said when he first met Luo Liansheng’s brothers, he still felt somewhat uneasy.

The snow was falling heavier, initially only covering grass and rooftops, but when Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei were ready to leave the old mansion for the Orchid Pavilion, the fields were entirely white. Fortunately, the roads were not yet covered with snow, hardly affecting driving.

Due to the bad weather and it not being a weekend, there were fewer visitors than usual at the Orchid Pavilion.

Being winter break, many of them were young students.

Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei, both young although Ouyang Feifei appeared more mature and composed, were often mistaken for students themselves. This led to Luo Ziling getting student tickets for both just by showing his own student ID.

Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun were left at the old mansion, awaiting Luo Liansheng’s instructions. When Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei went to the Orchid Pavilion, they only took Wang Qing and other bodyguards with them.

To ensure their enjoyment wasn’t dampened, Ouyang Feifei asked Wang Qing not to follow them inside.

This made Wang Qing feel somewhat aggrieved, but she ultimately obeyed Ouyang Feifei’s command and did not go in with them.

When Luo Ziling finished buying the tickets and was about to call Ouyang Feifei to enter, Ouyang Feifei, who had been waiting for him holding an umbrella, took the initiative to hold onto Luo Ziling’s arm and handed him her umbrella.

Luo Ziling did not break away and entered the Orchid Pavilion scenic area together with Ouyang Feifei under one umbrella.

Both Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei were exceptionally handsome and charming, coupled with the fact that most of the people inside the scenic area looked like students, they attracted the interest of other visitors as soon as they entered, and some even took out their phones to secretly take photos.

“Your bright red coat is too eye-catching,” seeing many people looking at them, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but blame Ouyang Feifei, “Look, it’s now impossible for us to enjoy freely.”

“Do you really need to care about other people’s stares?” Ouyang Feifei glared at Luo Ziling discontentedly, “Play on our own and ignore them. Besides, don’t you think wearing a red coat on a snowy day matches the snowy scenery?”

“Are you blaming me for not knowing how to dress?” Luo Ziling looked at the blue down jacket he was wearing and gave Ouyang Feifei a half-smiling look, “It seems our clothes’ colors don’t really match.”

“I thought you were going to say we don’t match!”

“We really don’t match!” Luo Ziling didn’t deny it, “You are the cold and wealthy young mistress holding billions in assets, a female CEO, while I’m just a student.”

“Believe it or not, I’ll bite you.” Ouyang Feifei said through gritted teeth, very angrily looking at Luo Ziling.

“Then bite me,” Luo Ziling didn’t care and chuckled, “If you bite me and they capture it and post on social media or Weibo, you might just become an internet sensation.”

Luo Ziling initially wanted to scare Ouyang Feifei with his words, but unexpectedly, she didn’t care at all and really tried to bite him.

Luo Ziling was startled and quickly hugged her tight, pressing her head into his chest to prevent her from biting.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Feifei took the opportunity to rest her head in his arms, appearing to enjoy it quite a bit.

“Damn, fell for it,” Luo Ziling felt somewhat resentful, but ultimately, he did not push Ouyang Feifei away.

As they walked into the calligraphy exhibition hall, they saw a master-looking person writing there with many people watching around.

Driven by curiosity, Luo Ziling also leaned in to look.

Ouyang Feifei, holding Luo Ziling’s arm, also walked over.

The spectators, seeing their extraordinary demeanor, immediately made way for them.

Their appearance shifted the spectators’ attention from the calligraphy master to them, and the master, who was not young, got distracted by Ouyang Feifei’s beauty, causing the quality of his subsequent characters to drop.

However, daring to write publicly in the Orchid Pavilion, the calligrapher’s skill was still quite impressive, and his writing still drew cheers from the crowd.

Seeing Ouyang Feifei also looking at his characters, the master seemed very pleased and smilingly said to Ouyang Feifei: “If the young lady likes this piece, I’ll give it to you.”

The master’s words drew many surprised reactions.

Those who knew understood that this master stationed in Orchid Pavilion was very skilled in calligraphy, and his works were priced highly.

Just like that, a piece could not be secured for less than fifty or sixty thousand yuan.

Among the onlookers, some were already preparing to buy the piece for fifty thousand yuan.

Unexpectedly, the master intended to give it away.

Yet when they saw that he wanted to gift it to a beautiful girl, no one thought it absurd.

Trying to win a smile from a beauty was a reasonable act.

However, Ouyang Feifei flatly refused: “No need. Your writing is mediocre, nowhere near as good as his.”

When Ouyang Feifei declined, she pointed at Luo Ziling while saying this, instantly making Luo Ziling the public enemy in the eyes of most people present.

Of course, Luo Ziling had already become the public enemy of the male tourists when he appeared with Ouyang Feifei.
