Chapter 2131: Chapter 2131: Does He Have Any Shame?

(The Ninth Update)

Luo Liansheng lectured for more than ten minutes before he finished, and by the end, Luo Xusheng’s face was a bit red.

During Luo Liansheng’s lecture, Luo Xusheng didn’t argue back and appeared very submissive.

Luo Ziling clearly noticed a trace of undisguised smugness on Ling Ruonan’s face.

Presumably, Ling Ruonan also sees Luo Liansheng as her backing.

If Luo Xusheng ever treats her poorly in the future, she will definitely turn to Luo Liansheng to seek justice.

However, Luo Ziling feels that in front of Ling Ruonan, Luo Xusheng will never be able to stand up straight.

He imagines that back when they were dating, Ling Ruonan was probably the one who took the initiative. In their relationship, Ling Ruonan should be in the dominant position, and the docile male, Luo Xusheng, would be in a passive role. Luo Ziling suddenly thought that when it came to intimate relations, it was likely Ling Ruonan who was proactive.

Thinking of this, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but feel the fire of gossip burning brightly within him.

He wanted to investigate and clarify who was the initiator back then.

This is a matter of great importance!

After the banquet ended, Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing followed Luo Liansheng, Ling Ruonan, and Luo Xusheng back home together.

After returning home, Luo Liansheng didn’t reprimand Luo Xusheng further but instead asked him about his future plans in front of Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing.

Of course, Luo Xusheng’s plan was to first manage Dragon Rise well and then consider other matters.

To this, Luo Liansheng didn’t blame him but instructed Luo Xusheng to maintain frequent contact with Li Haiyang and to seek his opinions often.

When Li Haiyang visited today, Luo Xusheng talked with him for a few minutes, but no one knows what they discussed.

Luo Xusheng then asked Ling Ruonan about her future plans.

Ling Ruonan also shared her plans, saying that she wanted to develop the Northern Group well, and then manage Northern Pharmaceuticals and Lingyun Film and Television effectively. Since Luo Ziling has his own ambition to build the Luo Family into a new prominent family, she, as a mother, would spare no effort in supporting her son.

Luo Liansheng then asked Luo Ziling about his plans.

Luo Ziling straightforwardly stated his goal, which was to build the Luo Family into a new prestigious family—a final aim.

He also talked about what he wanted to accomplish this year, including getting the laboratory set up, starting a new Traditional Chinese Medicine major at Yan University, hosting the wedding of Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan, and completing the expansion of shares in Lingyun Film and Television and Northern Pharmaceuticals. Additionally, he wanted to ensure the Northern Pharmaceuticals building is put into use, and Northern Pharmaceuticals fully enters production and operation.

Luo Liansheng then asked Luo Yuqing for her plans, and Luo Yuqing shared her thoughts as well.

She already understood the intent behind Luo Liansheng’s questions.

Luo Ziling also roughly understood his grandfather’s intention in asking each of them about their future plans.

Sure enough, after asking everyone’s plans, Luo Liansheng said to Luo Xusheng: “You’ve heard the plans of your wife and children. They have such ambitions and goals, so you also need to decide what you’re going to do. You shouldn’t need others to tell you. At the very least, you shouldn’t hold them back. If necessary, you must do your utmost to help them.”

Luo Liansheng’s words made Luo Xusheng feel awkward again, but in the end, he didn’t argue and just nodded lightly.

Luo Liansheng didn’t say anything further and, claiming to be very tired, went to rest.

Seeing Luo Liansheng go upstairs to rest, Luo Ziling took Luo Yuqing’s hand, and together they went upstairs, leaving space for Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan.

Once in Luo Ziling’s room, Luo Yuqing softly asked Luo Ziling: “It seems like Dad isn’t in a good mood!”

“Not necessarily.” Luo Ziling shook his head, “Grandfather says this also for our good, for this family to be more united. I think Dad surely understands. At most, he just lost a bit of face, but didn’t suffer any other losses.”

“Grandfather hasn’t been very satisfied with Dad’s performance since he returned. Alas, maybe Dad’s been in the military too long and has become somewhat disconnected from society.” Luo Yuqing sighed, sat down on the sofa, and then asked Luo Ziling: “Why did you invite so many people today?”

“These people, except for a few from the Ling Family, are all people we can use, so I called them all here today.” Luo Ziling didn’t hide his intention from Luo Yuqing, “As the saying goes, ‘a good fellow needs three helpers.’ If we have no helpers, we cannot succeed. The more people who can help us, the better; unity is strength!”

“Alright, I understand!” Luo Yuqing looked at Luo Ziling earnestly, “I finally believe that men see farther than women! Before, I underestimated you, but from now on, I won’t!”

“So, you’ve put away your little thoughts?” Luo Ziling looked at Luo Yuqing with a playful expression.

Luo Ziling’s obviously slighting words naturally earned him a playful punch from Luo Yuqing.

Luo Ziling didn’t mind, he chuckled softly, then lay on the bed by himself.

Luo Yuqing didn’t fuss any further, sat down on the side of Luo Ziling’s bed, and continued talking with him.

After the two discussed some matters that needed attention for the upcoming period, Luo Yuqing prepared to leave.

Lin, who was responsible for Luo Yuqing’s safety, was discussing matters with Wuyue. Upon learning that Luo Yuqing was leaving, he quickly came over to make arrangements.

After Luo Yuqing left with Lin, Wuyue proactively approached Luo Ziling and quietly said: “Young master, congratulations on your parents’ marriage.”

“Sigh, I’m almost at the age of marriage, yet they are just now getting married officially—thinking about it is really something.” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but shake his head and lament, “If I married early, I could have had the ceremony with them!”

“Things will slowly get better.” Wuyue comforted Luo Ziling: “Now that your parents are together, in the future, there will be one more person to consult with in case of any issues, and even more people who can help you.”

“I hope so!” Luo Ziling nodded, then suddenly thought of something and quickly asked Wuyue: “Tonight, do you know what Ling Zhengping is doing?”

“This afternoon, Ling Zhengping met with a foreign guest, and the event should have ended around five-thirty. He didn’t attend the guest dinner and should have returned home after leaving his office.” Wuyue reported the situation honestly, then apologetically said to Luo Ziling: “Because Ling Zhengping’s identity has become more unusual than before, it’s not convenient to investigate too much, as it might alert his subordinates and arouse suspicion.”

Luo Ziling nodded, indicating that he understood Wuyue’s words, and then asked again: “So, does it mean that Ling Zhengping wasn’t completely unable to attend my mother’s celebratory banquet tonight? Ha, he doesn’t even want to attend his own sister’s wedding banquet—how can he be comfortable with that?”

As he said this, Luo Ziling harbored both a cold smile and a bit of schadenfreude in his heart.

He knew many things get ruined just because of these kinds of details.
