Capítulo 2091: Chapter 2091: Worry

Luo Ziling’s worries really became a reality.

After dinner, when he was chatting with Luo Xusheng alone, Luo Xusheng seriously reminded him of this point.

Luo Xusheng didn’t want Luo Ziling to have too close personal relationships with the people from Dragon Rise.

He feared being misunderstood or accused of turning Dragon Rise into a private army.

He knew that people like Phoenix, Lin Lan, and Shanque had good relationships with Luo Ziling, and Phoenix had even arranged for two people to learn emergency rescue techniques under Luo Ziling. He reminded Luo Ziling to resolve these matters quickly to avoid leaving room for gossip.

“Alright!” Luo Ziling didn’t want to argue with Luo Xusheng, so he agreed to Luo Xusheng’s request, but also reminded him, “But I am an auxiliary member of Dragon Rise, and although my situation differs from regular members, I am still part of Dragon Rise. Since I am part of Dragon Rise, there’s no problem cooperating and interacting with regular members.”

“Abandon the auxiliary member status; in the future, there will be no auxiliary member structure.” Luo Xusheng said seriously, “We have enough troubles as it is.”

Luo Ziling was silent for a while, and after a long pause finally responded, “Dad, don’t make us feel that your return to Yanjing is not to bring us help but to restrain us. My mother and I are doing fine with our business now; surely you’re not here to sabotage what we’ve built?”

Luo Xusheng didn’t expect Luo Ziling to say this and was taken aback.

Luo Ziling continued, “Grandfather strongly recommended you to take up a position at Dragon Rise, hoping you could manage it well, not for other reasons. You should understand that although the people from Dragon Rise have helped us greatly, we have helped them even more. Without my assistance, some Dragon Rise members would already be dead, and several of their missions would have failed.”

“But we are soldiers, soldiers fight for the country!” Luo Xusheng regained his composure and replied indifferently, “The previous Dragon Rise had many issues; I want to reorganize it after my return, to enhance its combat strength.”

“Are you denying what Li Haiyang achieved?”

“Continue the good parts, rectify the bad ones!”

“Alright then!” Luo Ziling was tired of talking, “Let’s do as you say then!”

Luo Xusheng noticed Luo Ziling’s displeasure but didn’t offer much explanation.

After Luo Xusheng returned to Yanjing, the first private talk between father and son ended on a not-so-pleasant note.

When Luo Ziling and Luo Xusheng walked out of the study, Ling Ruonan sharply noticed the subtle tension between them and was quite surprised.

But she wisely chose not to ask anything.

Just during dinner, the family was enjoying a warm and joyful atmosphere.

The five family members, plus Li Dayou and Wuyue, made a total of seven people having dinner together.

Dinner was prepared by Luo Ziling, Ling Ruonan, and Wuyue together.

During the meal, Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing’s jokes made the dinner lively.

This feeling made Ling Ruonan very happy.

Luo Xusheng’s return meant she had someone to rely on. With her man by her side, she could depend on him whenever something happened, unlike before when she often felt helpless.

The two most important men in her life were by her side, and Ling Ruonan felt her biggest regret in life was gone.

She didn’t expect that these two men would not get along well right after meeting.

Ling Ruonan, adept at observation, noticed the discontent in Luo Ziling’s eyes, which made her particularly worried.

While Luo Xusheng was called by Luo Liansheng to chat, she called Luo Ziling aside to inquire about the situation.

Luo Ziling didn’t hide anything and recounted the recent conversation with Luo Xusheng.

Ling Ruonan was very surprised that the father-son private chat was about such matters and was at a loss for words.

“Your dad wants to achieve something, to get rid of some bad things, his intention is reasonable.” Ling Ruonan still spoke a few words in support of Luo Xusheng.

“If he really does that, what will Li Haiyang think? What will Phoenix and Lin Lan think?” In front of Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling didn’t want to hide his dissatisfaction and spoke straightforwardly, “They’ve helped us so much, and we’ve also been helping them; if everything is interrupted, they will suffer losses too. I understand the saying ‘a new broom sweeps clean,’ but isn’t governing by doing nothing a good strategy? Li Haiyang was a god-like figure in Dragon Rise, managing it extremely well. If dad arrives and starts sweeping reforms, not only will he be misunderstood, but he will also lose support and chill people’s hearts. Then how could he maintain his position?”

Ling Ruonan remained silent, and Luo Ziling didn’t say more.

Luo Ziling knew that Ling Ruonan too did not approve of Luo Xusheng’s ideas, which was evident from her reaction.

“I should have a chat with him later!” Ling Ruonan finally sighed.

She never expected that Luo Xusheng, just back today, would argue over such matters with Luo Ziling.

She also knew that Luo Ziling was not wrong in this matter.

You can’t discard tangible benefits for something vague and insubstantial.

She knew that Luo Ziling’s cooperation with the Dragon Rise people could bring them many benefits and that Luo Ziling could help them a lot.

The drugs developed by Luo Ziling greatly aided Dragon Rise, reducing their casualties, and he helped heal injuries and even awakened Li Haiyang from paralysis.

In many cases, public and private matters cannot be clearly separated. It’s the same with what they did; public and private interests are intertwined and cannot be completely divided. In the competition for interests among powerful families, can you say whether it’s public or private?

Of course, she couldn’t directly criticize Luo Xusheng either, as that would harm his self-esteem.

Originally, Ling Ruonan was very happy, but after listening to Luo Ziling, she felt a bit depressed.

She also understood that their long separation had created a difficult-to-repair chasm between her and Luo Xusheng.

This chasm was due to different living environments and a lack of communication, and it couldn’t be filled quickly.

But Ling Ruonan wasn’t worried about the rift between herself and Luo Xusheng; her biggest concern was that conflict might arise between Luo Ziling and Luo Xusheng. Luo Ziling had a strong personality, and Luo Xusheng was similar; given the current situation, their worldviews were different, and conflicts were inevitable.

She had oversimplified things.

But she still had confidence in persuading Luo Xusheng because he had always respected her greatly and usually listened to her arrangements.

Thus, she reminded Luo Ziling not to argue with Luo Xusheng face-to-face; instead, tell her first about any issue, and she would communicate with Luo Xusheng.

She also hoped that the family could spend more time together and communicate more to live harmoniously and avoid internal conflicts.

What Ling Ruonan didn’t expect was that while she was worried about a clash between Luo Ziling and Luo Xusheng, Luo Xusheng had a conflict with Luo Liansheng, and father and son were at odds,
