Chapter 1722: Chapter 1722: All Quite Calculating

(Second Update)

Wang Zhenjun’s skills really surprised Luo Ziling.

This guy, as he said himself, is incredibly good at hacking, and there’s nothing he can’t do.

Luo Ziling felt a deep sense of crisis and decided that he would never store his private things online in the future or connect his private computer to the internet, otherwise this guy would surely spy on him.

Once he knew there was no danger with Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei, Luo Ziling relaxed.

Coincidentally, just as he finished interrogating Wang Zhenjun, he received a call from Ling Ruonan.

Ling Ruonan told Luo Ziling that if nothing unexpected happened, she planned to return to Yanjing on a flight in the morning.

Luo Ziling immediately told Ling Ruonan that he would go to the airport to pick her up.

“No need, if your whereabouts are leaked, the airport will get lively again.” Ling Ruonan refused, “I didn’t expect your matters to cause such a sensation. After we get back, let’s discuss how to make good use of your current popularity, which is higher than any big star’s. So, you must maintain your positive image and avoid making a mess.”

“Yes, Your Majesty, Mother.”

“You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?” Ling Ruonan joked and then continued, “This time, the trip to Japan and Korea was quite fruitful. As long as no one suppresses us, in some time, the Luo Family’s business will make significant progress, possibly developing rapidly.”

“Does this mean you made impressive gains during your talks with the Xu Family and Ishihara Family? Or got a great deal out of them?”

Ling Ruonan didn’t deny it but also didn’t explicitly say it, only told Luo Ziling that everything would be discussed after she returned.

Lastly, Ling Ruonan mentioned the matter with Ouyang Huihui, saying Ouyang Huihui would fly directly back to Paris from Tokyo.

“Ouyang Feifei arranged for a few people to look after her, and her health is fine, so you don’t have to worry. Just let things with her be, it’s better for both of you. Do you understand?”

Ling Ruonan’s serious tone made Luo Ziling feel uneasy, but he just obediently agreed.

“I warned you not to end up with a scandal involving an illegitimate child, remember this in the future,” Ling Ruonan reminded him, lowering her voice.

Luo Ziling agreed, but his good mood was somewhat ruined by Ling Ruonan’s words.

Ling Ruonan didn’t pay attention to the change in Luo Ziling’s emotions; she felt that as a mother, these things had to be repeatedly said. It was already a stroke of luck this time; if Ouyang Huihui chose to threaten them, she wouldn’t have known how to handle it.

Last time, Luo Ziling had a careless encounter with Ouyang Huihui while drunk, and she and Ouyang Feifei wanted to keep it a secret, pretending it never happened, but things turned out differently, causing her a lot of stress and fear of it happening again.

She understood that young people have strong hormonal impulses making certain actions understandable.

Although she repeatedly urged Luo Ziling not to act on impulse, she knew it was hard for the young to control such urges; she was like that herself when she was young. What she must avoid at all costs is getting any woman Luo Ziling is close to pregnant.

Ouyang Huihui’s special status could allow them to gloss over any fallout, but it might not be so simple with other women.

If Ouyang Huihui had been pregnant, Ling Ruonan considered raising the child, but she wouldn’t dare think that way with other women.

Ling Ruonan hoped the incident with Ouyang Huihui would serve as a wake-up call for Luo Ziling, teaching him a lesson.

Luo Ziling, however, felt a bit melancholic that his first possible descendant disappeared so ambiguously, and since Ouyang Huihui showed no attachment to it, he felt quite sad.

After the call, he found that Luo Yuqing was awake, sitting on the sofa, looking at him in confusion.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Yuqing asked with concern when she saw that Luo Ziling didn’t look well, “Was it a call from your mom? Did something happen?”

“No,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “They’ll be back tomorrow, possibly with Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan coming along.”

“And you’re not happy about them coming back?” Luo Yuqing was a bit surprised.

“No, I’m not unhappy. I wanted to go to the airport, but thinking about yesterday’s situation there, I got a bit scared. If the news of me going to the airport leaks out, the airport would be in chaos again.” Luo Ziling sat down beside Luo Yuqing with a troubled expression, “I’ll have to disguise myself from now on when going out.”

“I wasn’t actually completely asleep earlier, I was thinking about things. You’ve become an internet celebrity, and maintaining such popularity won’t be easy. There needs to be ongoing buzz. I’m thinking of setting up a studio just for you, and I’ll run it myself. From now on, I’ll be your manager, handling all your affairs. In the coming days, I’ll often leak snippets on Weibo and forums to let everyone know more about you. I also plan to negotiate with the school to help with publicity. Well, let’s decide on everything after your mom and Ouyang Feifei return. I’ll go check on the company in a bit; I haven’t paid attention there for days.” As Luo Yuqing spoke, she got up from the sofa to wash her face, and then as she walked into the room, she stopped and mysteriously told Luo Ziling, “Your participation in the overseas competition saved us a lot in promotion costs; next, you need to perform well, you’ll be the spokesperson for Lingyun Film and Television.”

“Are you going to squeeze every bit of value out of me?” Luo Ziling said with mixed feelings.

“Yes,” Luo Yuqing nodded seriously, “That’s what I think, and so do your mom and Ouyang Feifei. So just resign yourself to your fate; no matter how we plan to exploit you, you can’t resist. By the way, give me your current number, apply for a new phone number, and make sure it’s kept entirely private, not even your classmates should know it, understood?”

“You are also my classmate.”

“Firstly, I’m your sister, and secondly, your manager.”

“Okay!” In the end, Luo Ziling didn’t object.

Around 3:30 in the afternoon, Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli came to pick up Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng.

“Senior, isn’t this a bit too grand?” Luo Ziling was surprised to see Ye Xiaoli drive over in a Mercedes 600, “We could’ve managed on our own.”

“I want to let my dad know that you all are helping my grandpa with his treatment because I invited you, not because he or grandpa invited you. If grandpa’s illness is cured, I’ll take the credit, but he won’t have any. If he understands this, the first thing he will do is not get mad at me but tacitly approve of everything I’m doing now.”

Listening to Yang Qingyin’s words, Luo Ziling was a bit dumbfounded.

What a scheming girl!
