Luo Ziling shared some of his subordinates' investigations with Wu Ningjing, and then sincerely said, "Mrs. Wu, I hope you can tell me about matters related to Li Xiaoqing. Perhaps after listening to what you have to say, we can better understand what is going on."
When Luo Ziling mentioned that the investigation into those tens of millions had shown abnormal fund movements, with a portion returning to Li Xiaoqin's hidden account, Wu Ningjing's expression changed again.
"Mrs. Wu, I hope we can cooperate well and get this matter thoroughly investigated. Li Xiaoqing doing such things isn't entirely unexpected, nor is it unforgivable," Luo Ziling said sincerely. "I don't want him to selfishly cheat away your money, and I won't allow him to harm Yuqing either."
After thinking for a while, Wu Ningjing finally agreed to Luo Ziling's request, "Alright, I will cooperate with you to investigate this matter."
She also shared some information with Luo Ziling.
After hearing it, Luo Ziling didn't immediately express anything.
Wu Ningjing seemed to be in a bad mood, and her hand holding the teacup was slightly trembling.
"Don't let him know, even if the outcome is understood," Luo Ziling reminded Wu Ningjing again. "If the result completely confirms what I said, let me find him. I believe that if you or Yuqing approach him, he won't take it seriously or listen to you. Let me educate him!"
Wu Ningjing looked at Luo Ziling with a complicated expression, unsure how to respond.
Luo Ziling smiled again and said, "Mrs. Wu, rest assured, I won't harm him. Just look at how I've managed Ling Haijun and Ling Haining without a hitch!"
"Let's wait until the matter is thoroughly investigated," Wu Ningjing, knowing a lot about Luo Ziling's affairs, expressed some concerns about his methods.
Luo Ziling didn't insist.
Then, Wu Ningjing began to talk about Luo Yuqing.
Luo Yuqing rarely went home and didn't communicate much with Wu Ningjing, so Wu Ningjing wasn't very clear about what Luo Yuqing had been busy with. There were several times when Wu Ningjing asked, but Luo Yuqing didn't want to say much.
Luo Ziling also shared some matters regarding Luo Yuqing.
The two of them chatted for about an hour before ending the conversation.
As they were about to part, Wu Ningjing hesitated and shared some matters she hadn't initially wanted to disclose.
Because of matters related to Luo Yuqing, Wu Ningjing wasn't well-liked by the Li Family.
The only one who treated Wu Ningjing well was possibly Li Haiyang.
However, Wu Ningjing rarely saw Li Haiyang, and Li Haiyang seldom went back.
Wu Ningjing hoped Luo Ziling could speak on her behalf in front of Li Haiyang, to urge him to support her more.
Luo Ziling was already planning to talk to Li Haiyang about some matters, so he didn't refuse Wu Ningjing's request and agreed readily.
"Ziling, in fact, I've always regarded you as a son," Wu Ningjing said softly while standing with her head down in front of Luo Ziling. "I've liked your father for many years, and I still can't forget him. I don't know if what I did back then was right or wrong, but I'm still grateful to have a daughter like Yuqing. I hope you will always treat Yuqing as a sister in the future and help her more. Anyway... I won't marry again."
This last remark from Wu Ningjing made Luo Ziling frown slightly.
He didn't want Wu Ningjing to continue entangling with Luo Xusheng, as it would harm Ling Ruonan.
Thus, he expressed this sentiment, "I don't want my mom to be hurt anymore."
"Rest assured, I won't do anything foolish," Wu Ningjing quickly explained. "I merely hope that you and Yuqing can be like a real family."
"I've already treated her as my own sister, and even my mom has accepted her, so you needn't worry about these things."
"That's good!" Wu Ningjing dared not express any further thoughts.
After parting with Wu Ningjing, Luo Ziling contacted Li Haiyang to ask when he would be free, so he could come over to help check his health.
"You rascal, you've been back from the Northwest for so long, but didn't think to visit me!" Li Haiyang mocked with a laugh over the phone, "Finally remembering now?"
"Sir, I apologize sincerely; too many things cropped up after returning, and you, on the other hand, are incredibly busy," Luo Ziling apologized awkwardly. "If you have some spare time these next two days, I will definitely find time to come and check you over."
Li Haiyang, on the other end of the line, stopped teasing Luo Ziling, thought for a moment, and then informed him, that he would surely have time tomorrow at noon.
"I'm sure you're busy in the morning and afternoon, why not at noon? Tomorrow at noon I'll be at the office, come over." Li Haiyang said with a hearty laugh, "I work here now, you probably haven't been here before, it's about time you pay a visit."
"Alright!" Luo Ziling agreed readily.
In the afternoon, while Luo Ziling was helping students with classes, he received a message from Ouyang Feifei.
She asked whether Luo Ziling was free tonight to have dinner together at Ouyang Lingyun's place.
Luo Ziling was somewhat puzzled about why Ouyang Feifei would suddenly call him for dinner. Thus, after class, he returned Ouyang Feifei's call.
"What's up? Is it a special occasion?"
"Did you forget? Huihui is back today!" When saying this, Ouyang Feifei showed no emotional fluctuation.
"Oh!" Luo Ziling suddenly realized, but puzzledly asked, "Your sister's return, wouldn't it be better if I don't see her? Do you hope that I continue entangling with her?"
"Meeting with no hesitation means things have passed," Ouyang Feifei wasn't surprised by Luo Ziling's words and said calmly, "Your grandfather and your mom have both agreed to come, don't you want to join them?"
"This is moral coercion!" Luo Ziling said somewhat indignantly, "You might as well say you're inviting my grandfather and mom for dinner tonight, and I should come along with them."
"Is there a difference? How is it moral coercion?"
"Forget it, I'm not arguing with you, I'll come."
"See you tonight!" Ouyang Feifei calmly hung up the phone.
Ouyang Feifei's calm demeanor when discussing Ouyang Huihui's matter made Luo Ziling suspect something was amiss.
He knew very well that the last person who wanted Ouyang Huihui to return was Ouyang Feifei.
Ouyang Feifei would surely have restrictions on Ouyang Huihui and wouldn't let him freely interact with her.
Naturally, Luo Ziling didn't want to have too much interaction with Ouyang Huihui.
Because Ouyang Huihui had raped him, and decided to terminate the pregnancy without his consent.
Ouyang Huihui had shown no care for the unborn child, which left Luo Ziling very disappointed.
Thus, he also didn't want to meet her, to avoid awkwardness for both parties.
Luo Ziling went over together with Ling Ruonan, meeting her at the Northern Group.
On the way, Ling Ruonan advised Luo Ziling not to get involved with Ouyang Huihui again on her return, or things would become troublesome.
"Mom, I understand, you don't need to say it, I will pay attention to that."
"That's good!" Ling Ruonan nodded, "One thing I must tell you, this time Ouyang Huihui returned, the Ouyang Family is planning on using her for a marriage alliance."
"Ah?!" Ling Ruonan's statement greatly shocked Luo Ziling.
