Chapter 1381: Chapter 1381: Return to Yanjing

A casual outing became solemn because of this little incident.

Luo Ziling also felt a sense of respect from Yang Xiaodong’s gaze.

In the past, even though Yang Xiaodong had always been by his side, Luo Ziling never saw such a look in his eyes.

It must have been the proposal just now that earned Yang Xiaodong’s respect for him.

After returning from Douyan, Luo Ziling made a phone call to Ouyang Feifei.

But the phone was answered by Wang Qing instead of Ouyang Feifei.

Wang Qing’s tone was still unamiable, which made Luo Ziling involuntarily frown.

After the phone was handed to Ouyang Feifei, Luo Ziling shared the idea that had suddenly occurred to him today.

“If you have such a thought, I have no objections,” Ouyang Feifei considered briefly, then immediately expressed her opinion, “If you are serious about this, I can also invest. By then, we can have someone responsible for managing it, and the annual earnings should be able to provide a certain level of assistance.”

“Great, thank you,” Luo Ziling was quite pleased, as he hadn’t expected Ouyang Feifei to be so straightforward, “I’ll talk to my dad and mom about this, I believe they will be supportive as well.”

“Why did you suddenly think of doing this?”

“Today, I was inadvertently moved,” Luo Ziling roughly explained what had happened during the day.

After hearing what Luo Ziling said, Ouyang Feifei was silent for a moment before speaking softly, “Although I’ve never been a soldier, I can understand their camaraderie. The brotherhood of life and death on the battlefield is purer than anything else. You are right, we cannot let heroes bleed and weep; if they sacrifice themselves, we have a duty to aid their families. I will also use my status to call on the nation to increase support for the families of martyrs and military personnel. I think your mom will also help with this.”

“I will talk to her about it,” Luo Ziling was surprised that Ouyang Feifei would say something like this. “Thank you very much!”

“There’s no need to thank me, this is what I should do.”

“Still, thank you!” Luo Ziling’s appreciation for Ouyang Feifei took another step forward.

Often, people are like this; when they share common views and interests about something, their fondness for him or her can increase suddenly and even exponentially. Initially, Luo Ziling’s fondness for Ouyang Feifei stayed at a certain level, but with increased interaction and going through some events together, his fondness for her grew more and more.

It was like today.

Before preparing to hang up the phone, Luo Ziling voiced the doubt that had been in his mind.

“What on earth happened after I got drunk? Why did you all leave Yuezhou one after another?”

“Nothing happened!” Ouyang Feifei’s tone changed a bit when mentioning this, no longer as gentle as before, “I had something come up suddenly, and Huihui came back with me. We couldn’t possibly stay in Yuezhou for that many days.”

“If you hadn’t explained so much, I would have believed you!”

“Then don’t believe me!” Ouyang Feifei said, and using her own matters as an excuse, ended the call.

Luo Ziling smiled helplessly, putting away his phone.

But immediately, he took out his phone again and made a call to Ling Ruonan, telling her about the conversation he just had with Ouyang Feifei.

Ling Ruonan was somewhat surprised, but immediately expressed support for Luo Ziling’s suggestion and said she would discuss the matter with Luo Xusheng.

“Your dad should have discussed these matters with me. He’s probably too embarrassed and afraid to lose face,” Ling Ruonan said with a hint of reproach in her voice, “He thinks that he has no share in my assets, so he doesn’t talk to me about these things. Hmph!”

“I’ll also talk to dad about it!”

“That’s good!”

“Mom, after you returned to Yanjing, did anything happen?”

“Nothing happened. I visited Ling Haining and Ling Haijun, as well as some other people, their parents didn’t express anything either. This matter doesn’t concern us, let them deal with it.” Ling Ruonan didn’t want Luo Ziling to know more, and vaguely said, “Anyway, your great grandfather and your grandfather do not intend to pursue this matter, so don’t worry about it.”

“I’m not worried, it’s none of my business.”

After chatting for a while, mother and son ended the phone call.

In the evening, Luo Ziling received a message from Yang Qingyin saying she got up and planned to stay in the hotel to rest today, not intending to go out. She is now in New York, and there was heavy snow last night, making travel inconvenient, so she decided not to go out.

“Junior, we might return ahead of schedule,” Yang Qingyin said softly to Luo Ziling, “We originally planned to stay in America for a few more days, but with the incident of Yang Yunzhong’s serious injury, my father decided to return early.”

“Has his visit schedule finished already?” Luo Ziling was surprised, “Weren’t there still several days left?”

“The main itinerary has ended, it’s just some sightseeing visits scheduled, which are optional, so the arrangement might change.”

Luo Ziling shared Luo Liansheng’s thoughts and his plans with Yang Qingyin.

Hearing that Luo Liansheng didn’t wish to have a dispute with Yang Yuanshan, and thus didn’t plan to visit Yang Yuanshan for a medical examination now, Yang Qingyin was slightly disappointed, but she didn’t say much.

Luo Ziling immediately suggested: “Senior, when you come back, let’s pay a New Year visit to your grandfather together and check on his current condition.”

“Alright,” Yang Qingyin didn’t object, “Let’s discuss it after I come back then.”

When Luo Ziling discussed this matter with Luo Liansheng, Luo Liansheng didn’t object either. He instructed Luo Ziling to go with Yang Qingyin to see Yang Yuanshan’s current condition first. Regarding some matters, he also let Luo Ziling test the waters, while reminding him that if the Yang Family intends to take revenge, or deliberately insults, then to leave immediately.

“Sigh, the matter between you and the Yang Family’s young lady really gives one a headache,” Luo Liansheng also directly expressed his pessimism about Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin’s relationship, “There’s no sign of any easing between the two families. You should consider your lifelong affairs more carefully.”

Luo Ziling could only nod.

Since he was going to meet Yang Yuanshan with Yang Qingyin and she was coming back early, Luo Liansheng told Luo Ziling to return to Yanjing earlier.

If there’s nothing else in Yanjing and school hasn’t started, then to return to Yuezhou for a couple of days.

Luo Ziling agreed.

The next day, he took a car and left Yuezhou.

Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun both returned with him, with several security personnel arranged by Ling Ruonan around Luo Liansheng.

Luo Ziling first went to Jinling, talked to Luo Xusheng about the situation related to seeking assistance from the military families, and after staying one night in Jinling, he then took a high-speed train back to Yanjing.

Stepping onto the land of Yanjing and breathing in the cold and dry air, Luo Ziling felt a sense of unexplainable irritability.

He knew that the new year in Yanjing would be even less peaceful, and so would his life.
