Chapter 1841: Chapter 1841: This Matter Is Up to You

When Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin finished dinner by the Qiantang River, it was already eight o’clock.

The night had already fallen, and outside, the tides of the Qiantang River continuously crashed against the riverbank, making a rhythmic sound.

The two of them walked out of that farmhouse restaurant and headed to the riverbank together.

Standing at a high point, looking at the muddy river waters churning in the night, Yang Qingyin smiled, “Actually, there’s no need to specifically watch the tides. Just walking by the riverside, listening to the sound of the waves, I’m satisfied.”

“Strolling by the river, listening to the waves pounding the shore is also a kind of enjoyment. There’s no need to squeeze in with the crowd to watch the tides on August 18th,” Luo Ziling also laughed, “This is a kind of sophistication, ‘Don’t listen to the sound of the wind and leaves, why not sing and walk slowly’, the enjoyment of going with the flow is true enjoyment. Travelling is the same.”

“So philosophical,” Yang Qingyin turned her head to look at Luo Ziling, “I didn’t expect, at such a young age, you have such insights, like someone who has experienced a lot.”

“My life is much more complicated than yours, a bit more mature than you, what’s strange about that?”

“Tsk,” Yang Qingyin looked disdainful, “Don’t you know to be a bit humble? Do you really think you’re mature?”

“Of course, ripe and ready to eat, want a taste?”

Seeing the lewd look on Luo Ziling’s face as he spoke, Yang Qingyin’s face turned red.

“Annoying junior, always teasing me,” Yang Qingyin kicked Luo Ziling, gritting her teeth as she said, “Not serious at all, such a rogue.”

“It’s you who took it the wrong way, yet you blame me,” Luo Ziling said with an aggrieved look, “You’re the rogue, thinking that way even when I say something casually.”

“You keep talking,” Yang Qingyin was a bit embarrassed and angry, as if she was about to throw a tantrum at Luo Ziling, “Say one more thing, and I’ll push you into the Qiantang River.”

“Spare me, my lady knight,” Luo Ziling stepped back and raised his hands in surrender, “Please don’t use your Nine Yin Yang Style White Bone Claw or your Yang Style Showtime Legs, or I’ll really end up in the Qiantang River. I can’t swim, it’ll be tragic if I drown.”

“You’re annoying,” Yang Qingyin spat at Luo Ziling, “What nonsense Nine Yin Yang Style White Bone Claw, Yang Style Showtime Legs, you just make up stuff to tease me.”

Luo Ziling grabbed Yang Qingyin’s arm, drew her into his embrace, and walked forward together, saying as they walked, “Today must have been tiring for you, better rest early. Later, I’ll give you a nice massage to help you sleep well. Tonight, no need to sleep by the West Lake, listening to the tides by the Qiantang River isn’t bad either.”

“Okay, I’ll go with your plan.” Yang Qingyin agreed with a beaming smile.

Luo Ziling took out his phone and instructed Ye Xiaoli to book a room nearby for them, without using their ID information.

Ye Xiaoli didn’t say much, agreed, and hung up the phone.

The room by the West Lake hadn’t been canceled, and this room booked without their IDs would at least partially hide their whereabouts.

Soon, Ye Xiaoli notified them that the room was ready.

After checking the location, the hotel Ye Xiaoli booked was less than a kilometer from where they were.

Luo Ziling suggested walking to the hotel.

Yang Qingyin really felt tired, her legs were swollen, although she initially wanted to keep walking with Luo Ziling, she eventually took his suggestion and headed to the hotel to rest.

When they arrived at the hotel, it was just nine o’clock.

Coming out of the elevator, while looking for the room, Luo Ziling received a call from Ling Ruonan.

“Is it convenient to talk?” Ling Ruonan’s voice was a bit low on the phone.

“I’m about to enter the room, walking down the corridor now, just say it,” Luo Ziling sensed that it was something serious, so he quickened his pace and opened the room door.

Yang Qingyin realized it was a call from Ling Ruonan and smartly didn’t disturb him. After entering the room, she went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Their luggage had just been put in the room by Ye Xiaoli; most of it had been taken along with them when they left today.

Actually, it was to prevent Yang Yunlin from continuing to follow them.

Luo Ziling entered the room to take the call.

“Mom, did you get a lecture from Grandpa and Grandma today?” Luo Ziling joked, “Feeling under pressure?”

“Oh,” Ling Ruonan sighed slightly on the other end, “Ling Zhengping will be coming to Hangzhou tomorrow, so hand Ling Haining over to him by then.”

“I thought he’d come to Hangzhou today, didn’t expect him to come tomorrow, so it looks like Ling Haining will have another restless night tonight.” Luo Ziling laughed, “Tonight, I’ll have someone give him special attention, to teach him a lesson.”

“Don’t abuse him,” Ling Ruonan sternly reminded, “Let’s just put this matter behind us. I think they won’t dare to target us again for a few years.”

“Mom, what did you talk about?” Luo Ziling could tell Ling Ruonan had met with Ling Zhengping, so he asked with concern, “What was the result of the talk?”

“Your Grandpa and Grandma don’t want us to make things public, the Ling Family can’t afford the turmoil now,” Ling Ruonan said calmly, “Ling Zhengping admitted his fault and promised in front of my parents that he won’t target us again.”

“Didn’t he promise that before?” Luo Ziling wasn’t convinced by Ling Zhengping’s promise, so he said with dissatisfaction, “His promises are worthless.”

“This time should be different,” Ling Ruonan explained, “He wouldn’t dare lie in front of your Grandpa because doing so would cost him more. Today, your Grandpa was very angry.”

Ling Ruonan briefly talked about the events before and after Ling Mingrui returned in the evening.

After Xie Enhua spoke, Ling Ruonan basically understood the intentions of her parents, but she didn’t express any stance. After Ling Zhengping admitted his fault on his own initiative and repeatedly promised not to do such things again, she still didn’t express any opinion.

Before dinner, Ling Mingrui came back.

After returning, Ling Mingrui scolded Ling Zhengping in person and said that this matter made Ling Jinhua very disappointed. Ling Jinhua had already made arrangements for Ling Zhengping to temporarily leave his position and study at the Party School for half a year. Without signs of repentance, no position would be arranged for him, leaving him to be idle. Ling Mingrui also demanded compensation from Ling Zhengping and required a promise not to meddle in Northern Group’s affairs.

Ling Zhengping was willing to compensate, saying he would meet any of Ling Ruonan’s requests and promised to fulfill an elder brother’s duty of taking care of his sister and her child in the future.

“Mom, if you trust that he’ll change, then I will trust him like you do,” Luo Ziling didn’t argue much with Ling Ruonan and replied with a smile, “I’m not familiar with family feuds, you decide what to do, anyway, as long as they don’t target me in the future, I won’t target them.”

“What compensation do you want?” Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling, “You decide on this matter.”
