Chapter 1770: Chapter 1770: A Delightful Arrangement

(8th update, normal updates will resume tomorrow, with two chapters around noon and two chapters around eight in the evening)

Actually, Ling Mingrui originally did not want to get involved in the matter of who would be responsible for Dragon Rise, as he was no longer managing military affairs.

But upon knowing that many people wanted to lay hands on this position and were forcefully trying to oust Li Haiyang, this “useless person,” he became furious.

Because of Ling Mingrui’s strong intervention, and also Li Haiyang’s gradual physical recovery, no one could replace him in the end.

But Li Haiyang had been in this position for too long, and Ling Mingrui was so forceful this time, so many people still wanted to get rid of Li Haiyang.

Promoting him and letting Li Haiyang leave was the simplest way.

Li Haiyang was going to work at the military department, in charge of the affairs of the special forces of the entire army.

Li Haiyang did not refuse the arrangement from above and accepted this reassignment.

In a few days, the transfer order would come down.

Li Haiyang was leaving, so Ling Mingrui naturally did not want to give up control over Dragon Rise, hence he put forward Luo Xusheng.

Of course, this proposal was not made by himself but by someone else. Ling Mingrui had many trusted aides around him, many holding important positions in the military, and adding to this was Luo Xusheng’s impressive performance in recent years, he naturally became the most suitable candidate.

With Ling Mingrui’s intimate interference, Luo Xusheng became the hottest candidate for the leader of Dragon Rise.

Though it had not been officially announced, Ling Mingrui gave Luo Xusheng an affirmative answer today.

This outcome was unexpected for Luo Xusheng, and also for Ling Ruonan. She had been pestering her father to help Luo Xusheng achieve his dream of returning to Yanjing, but Ling Mingrui never explicitly promised to personally arrange a position for Luo Xusheng.

Unexpectedly, the matter had been settled without informing her, naturally leaving Ling Ruonan both surprised and pleased.

“When you come back and settle down, get the wedding ready,” Ling Mingrui, noticing the joy on everyone’s faces, also smiled and instructed Luo Xusheng, “Your son is already so grown-up, you should both have the title of husband and wife. Get the registration done early; the wedding can be held at a suitable time.”

At this point, Ling Mingrui grabbed the arm of the shyly downcast Ling Ruonan and said emotionally, “I have only one daughter, and when she marries, she must do so gloriously. We will take care of the expenses for your wedding. As for how the wedding should be held…”

At this point, Ling Mingrui looked at Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling got the hint and immediately chimed in, “I’ll take care of how the wedding should be held. I’ll definitely give Mom and Dad a very complete Chinese wedding that will shake the whole of Yanjing.”

Ling Ruonan’s pretty face blushed slightly, and Luo Xusheng also felt a little embarrassed.

Luo Xusheng had always been a man of few words, feeling somewhat awkward when a few elders talked about their marriage, even more so when Luo Ziling chimed in.

Ling Ruonan was also embarrassed, but she still thanked her parents.

Xie Enhua, already teary-eyed, held Ling Ruonan’s hand and said very sentimentally, “Your son is about to get married, while my poor daughter is still not married. It has been really hard on you. Mom always hoped that you could get married gloriously and have a perfect wedding, but we’ve waited for twenty years and still haven’t seen it. This time it can’t and won’t fall through.”

As she spoke, she gave instructions to Luo Xusheng: “Xusheng, these years Ruonan has had a hard life. You have not been by her side, and she has borne all the burdens alone. From now on, you have to take on more for her, as after all, she is a woman.”

“Yes!” Luo Xusheng replied very straightforwardly with his chest out.

“Granny, I’m here too; I’m also a man of the Luo Family. I will help my mom with her burdens,” seeing that Luo Xusheng hesitated for quite some time without saying anything, Luo Ziling quickly interjected, “In the future, I will help my mom shoulder even more responsibilities.”

“That’s good,” Xie Enhua wiped her eyes, “With your family reunited, we two old folks can be at peace too.”

“The Yang Family probably won’t stand up against your return now,” Ling Mingrui also clarified another point, and looking at Luo Xusheng, he said with emotion, “Your son is indeed formidable, using his medical skills to successfully eliminate their hostility. If it had to be done through other means, I think there would have been practically no chance to clear up misunderstandings and resolve grudges.”

“Grandpa, am I really that great?” Luo Ziling chuckled and said, “My mom still worries about me. She faults me even when I do things on my own.”

“You lack experience now, so you still need to discuss many things with your mom,” Ling Mingrui advised sternly.

“I will definitely remember Grandpa’s teachings,” Luo Ziling readily agreed.

Leaving Ling Mingrui’s courtyard, everyone was in high spirits, even Luo Xusheng rarely sported a smile.

However, Luo Ziling was eager to share some things with Luo Yuqing, so instead of heading back with them, he went to school.

While eating, Luo Yuqing messaged him, asking where to find them later.

Luo Ziling thought it would be best to go to school first to discuss some matters with Luo Yuqing. Additionally, since Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan still had things to attend to, Luo Ziling separated from them, agreeing to meet for dinner that evening.

When Luo Ziling reached school, Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin came over together.

“Senior, I’m inviting you to my home for dinner tonight. Will you do me the honor?” Upon seeing Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling grinned mischievously at her, “There’ll be a big feast!”

Yang Qingyin, already aware of Luo Xusheng’s arrival in Yanjing, blushed when she heard Luo Ziling’s invitation and said, “Will it be appropriate for me to go?”

“Absolutely appropriate,” Luo Ziling nodded seriously, “If you feel uncomfortable, you can just turn around and leave at that time.”

“Oh, you!” Yang Qingyin pinched Luo Ziling, “Do I really have to be so pathetic?”

“The ugly daughter-in-law is meeting the in-laws,” Luo Yuqing chimed in to tease Yang Qingyin, “Do you need to do your hair and dress a bit more formally? Otherwise, you really will be the ugly daughter-in-law.”

“You’re mean too, teasing me,” Yang Qingyin pretended to hit Luo Yuqing, pinched her, and then laughed, “Going for a hair wash doesn’t matter; anyway, a certain junior is treating.”

“Then it’s on you,” Luo Yuqing hooked onto Luo Ziling’s arm and softly asked, “By the way, did dad come back for anything important?”

“In a few days, he should return to Yanjing for work; this time, he’s here to prepare for it in advance.”

“Really?!” Luo Yuqing’s eyes immediately widened.

“As long as those from the Yang Family don’t oppose it, nothing will go wrong,” Luo Ziling said, glancing at Yang Qingyin.

“I’ll go talk to my grandpa, ask him not to oppose. I think, at this time, he probably won’t explicitly oppose,” Yang Qingyin understood Luo Ziling’s meaning, “If he can remain silent, then there won’t be any problems.”

“Be careful of your dad opposing it too,” Luo Yuqing reminded.

“He probably can’t interfere in this matter, right?” Yang Qingyin shook her head.

But no one expected the situation to become very complicated.
