Chapter 2101: 2101: Brother-in-Law and Little Brother-in-Law

Capítulo 2101: Chapter 2101: Brother-in-Law and Little Brother-in-Law

The family dinner was quite harmonious.

Luo Ziling was worried that other Ling Family members would come and join the fun tonight.

Fortunately, no one else came.

With just the five of them, they avoided some unnecessary trouble.

Luo Ziling didn’t want to engage in superficial pleasantries with Ling Zhengping or other Ling Family members.

After dinner, the three of them sat and chatted with Ling Mingrui and Xie Enhua for a while.

Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan thought Ling Mingrui would talk privately with Luo Xusheng, but to their surprise, Ling Mingrui didn’t do that. After dinner and some tea, he just let them leave early.

This left Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan quite puzzled.

But Luo Ziling didn’t share his doubts with Ling Ruonan, not wanting to discuss it in front of Luo Xusheng.

Judging from Luo Xusheng’s expression, he didn’t seem to care much about not having a private talk with Ling Mingrui.

But from Ling Ruonan’s expression, she seemed a bit worried.

After leaving Ling Mingrui’s villa, Luo Xusheng told Ling Ruonan that he needed to go out for a while and would be back tonight.

Ling Ruonan didn’t say much.

Luo Xusheng got out of the car midway, got into another car that picked him up, and left.

Only Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan were left in the car, but they didn’t talk much.

Some matters were better discussed at home.

Once home, mother and son tacitly went upstairs.

Luo Ziling followed Ling Ruonan into her room.

Before Ling Ruonan could ask anything, Luo Ziling directly said, “Mom, do you find it strange that Grandpa talked to me alone, but didn’t ask Dad for a private conversation?”

Ling Ruonan nodded, agreeing with Luo Ziling’s analysis.

Luo Ziling relayed to Ling Ruonan the gist of what Ling Mingrui said to him tonight and then shared his speculation: “I think Grandpa intentionally neglected Dad to express his dissatisfaction, wanting him to reflect on it. He said a lot tonight, but Dad didn’t respond and didn’t even explain. I think, for older people, they most want to hear pleasant words, which makes them feel at ease.”

“Your dad, indeed, is too taciturn. Even more so than when he was younger, sigh!” Ling Ruonan sighed and then asked Luo Ziling, “Do you think Grandpa will neglect your Dad?”

In matters like this, Ling Ruonan found it hard to maintain a rational perspective.

If it were unrelated, she could analyze calmly, but since it concerned her closest person, she felt a bit lost.

Unable to be sure, she subconsciously asked Luo Ziling.

“Probably not!” Luo Ziling thought for a moment and shook his head: “If he wanted to neglect Dad, he wouldn’t have let him work at Dragon Rise and wouldn’t have criticized him face to face. Grandpa’s actions seem to want Dad to reflect and act more reliably in the future, at least to protect you and not let you get hurt again.”

After hearing Luo Ziling’s words, Ling Ruonan thought it through seriously and ultimately agreed with his analysis.

As they were speaking, Luo Ziling received a call from Yang Qingye, asking where he was and if he was free to have a late-night snack as he had something to discuss.

“Go ahead, just come back early!” Ling Ruonan didn’t stop Luo Ziling from going out when she heard Yang Qingye was looking for him.

“Mom, let’s talk again after Dad returns and you have a private chat with him!” Luo Ziling was about to leave for the meeting with Yang Qingye when he stopped at the door, curious if Grandpa was coming back tonight. “Mom, is Grandpa sleeping here tonight?”

“I don’t know!” Ling Ruonan seemed a bit embarrassed, “I’ll ask him later, as we haven’t been in contact since he went out!”

“I’ll try contacting him!” Luo Ziling said, taking out his phone to call Luo Liansheng.

However, the call wasn’t answered by Luo Liansheng, but by Dong Xiaowan, which surprised him.

“Why are you looking for your Grandpa?” Dong Xiaowan rapidly responded before Luo Ziling could ask, “He’s discussing things with my Grandpa and others, and left his phone aside. Do you want me to call him?”

“Why are you messing with my Grandpa’s phone?” Luo Ziling felt a bit annoyed, “Let him take the call.”

“Alright!” Dong Xiaowan didn’t mind Luo Ziling’s annoyance and cheerfully fetched Luo Liansheng to the phone.

Shortly, Luo Liansheng’s voice came through the phone.

After hearing Luo Ziling’s questions, Luo Liansheng told him he wouldn’t be returning tonight. He planned to stay at the school with some of his old friends.

The school had arranged accommodations for them, each with a suite, which was quite nice.

“Alright then!” Luo Ziling didn’t say much more, “Sometime I’ll visit your place!”

“Sure!” Luo Liansheng also kept it brief, immediately hanging up.

Ling Ruonan, standing on the side, heard what Luo Liansheng said and suddenly felt a bit lost.

“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll keep coming back often!” Luo Ziling said with a cheeky grin, “Grandpa is just angry at Dad. Once Dad reflects and adjusts, everything will be fine. If it’s still early later, I’ll go check on Grandpa.”

“Alright,” Ling Ruonan didn’t say much more.

As Luo Ziling left the villa, he received a WeChat message from Yang Qingye, along with a location pin.

He was waiting for Luo Ziling at a teahouse not far from the school.

Upon arriving at the teahouse and entering the private room, Yang Qingye excitedly stood up.

“Brother-in-law, it’s been so long since we met, and you didn’t even miss me. I’m quite upset.” Yang Qingye stood up and walked towards Luo Ziling, “But, I’ve been going out frequently these days without telling you, so I can’t blame it all on you. But you haven’t kept in touch either, and you don’t reply to my messages, do you not care about your brother-in-law?”

“So what do you want?” Luo Ziling asked, a bit amused.

“At least you should treat me to this late-night snack tonight, right?” Yang Qingye said with a smug face.

“No problem!”

“My sister went with my grandfather to Jiangcheng for a trip. They’re planning to visit other places in a few days. Why didn’t you go with them? I know my grandfather is quite sick, and you and your grandfather are helping him with treatment. Such a good opportunity to improve relations between the two families, and you didn’t treasure it?” Yang Qingye looked puzzled.

“Things aren’t that simple!” Luo Ziling shook his head, “I just accompanied my Great Grandfather to the South; it wouldn’t be suitable to go with your grandfather now!”

“What’s unsuitable?” Yang Qingye widened his eyes at Luo Ziling, “I think it’s because you don’t want to solidify your relationship with my sister so quickly, right?”

Luo Ziling looked speechlessly at the slightly agitated Yang Qingye, unable to grasp his meaning.

“I know you’ve been close with other beautiful women lately, like Ouyang Feifei, Dai Shulan, and a few big celebrities,” said Yang Qingye as his face turned cold, “Do you plan to be fickle after meeting beautiful women? Let me tell you, if you let my sister down, I won’t let you off!”

Yang Qingye flipped his mood so quickly that Luo Ziling was stunned on the spot.
