Chapter 265: What is the purpose of coming today
(My uncle has passed away, I have things to attend to, so the next two chapters are updated early together. Tonight’s chapter is still at ten o’clock.)
Ling Ruonan’s visit to see Ling Jinhua at the old mansion was not made lightly; instead, it was with a luxurious entourage.
She herself rode in a specially branded Audi A8, flanked by two Mercedes 600 guard vehicles, each manned by three very fierce-looking black-suited bodyguards.
Luo Ziling, of course, rode in the same car as Ling Ruonan.
Ling Ruonan gave Luo Ziling the contact details for herself and Wuyue, as well as several important confidants and the head of the bodyguards.
She also informed him about the two people she had arranged to keep an eye on him at the university, and repeatedly instructed him to contact her immediately if there was any unusual situation or if he needed her help.
Facing this profound motherly love, Luo Ziling naturally agreed to everything.
Throughout the journey, Ling Ruonan never stopped talking, which was in stark contrast to how she hardly ever spoke in the car on a regular basis.
Wuyue, in the passenger seat, also deeply felt what deep mother-son affection meant, and his heart was gently touched.
The car quickly arrived at the entrance of Yan University.
After the motorcade stopped, Ling Ruonan still held Luo Ziling’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
“Ling’er, no matter the situation, you can call or text Mom,” Ling Ruonan once again cautioned, “Don’t worry, with me here, you won’t suffer any harm. Anyone who thinks of hurting you, I will fight them to the end. But you must also be more vigilant, not just beware of the Yang Family’s retaliation, but also watch out for the underhanded schemes of those in the Ling Family who are dissatisfied with me.”
“I remember,” facing the loving gaze that Ling Ruonan gave as she spoke those words, Luo Ziling felt deeply moved. He reached out and hugged Ling Ruonan tightly and then said softly, “Mom, from today on, I will never resent you again. You’re better than I thought, I am very grateful to have such a good mother like you.”
Luo Ziling’s emotional words once again brought tears to Ling Ruonan’s eyes.
The motorcade started again and slowly picked up speed, smoothly driving towards the east.
“Wuyue, he doesn’t blame me at all,” Ling Ruonan forced a smile as she said to Wuyue, “I thought he would blame me, would scold me, but he didn’t, not a single word.”
“Miss, your eyes are swollen,” Wuyue didn’t know how to comfort her, and simply gently reminded her. But thinking it was inappropriate, he quickly added, “The young master has been wanting to see you too. On the way here, he was in a daze, and he wept as well.”
“If I had known it would be like this, we should have met much earlier,” Ling Ruonan remarked, then softly said to Wuyue, “Have someone keep a close watch on the movements of the Yang Family, especially any actions from Yang Yunlin. Also, keep a reliable person on Yang Qingyin, to find out what’s going on if anyone secretly follows or surveils her.”
“Yes, Miss!”
“The Yang Family wants to kill my son, to avenge the past. I want to see how they will make their move.” A heavy murderous intent flashed across Ling Ruonan’s face again.
Even Wuyue, who had been by her side for many years, was startled by this demeanor.
Around eight-thirty, the motorcade entered the area where the Ling Family Old Mansion was located.
After a series of stringent checks, Ling Ruonan’s Audi A8 drove a bit further and then came to a gentle stop in the courtyard of the old mansion.
To Ling Ruonan’s surprise, she saw her father Ling Mingrui’s car in the courtyard.
When she looked up, she also saw Ling Mingrui coming out of the house.
Having come to visit his ailing father and about to leave to rest, Ling Mingrui stopped in his tracks when he saw Ling Ruonan getting out of the car.
“Dad,” Ling Ruonan immediately approached to greet, “I came to see how grandpa is doing. How’s his health?”
“He’s holding up, the symptoms haven’t worsened, but there’s been no improvement either,” Ling Mingrui sighed softly and then asked Ling Ruonan, “Ruonan, did you come today just to visit grandpa?”
In the bright light, Ling Mingrui had already noticed the slight redness and swelling of Ling Ruonan’s eyes.
He immediately guessed that something had happened, and it was very likely related to Luo Ziling.
“Dad, I want to talk to you about something, it’s about Ziling,” in front of her own father, Ling Ruonan didn’t hide anything and stated her purpose directly.
“Oh?” Ling Mingrui raised his eyebrows and asked, “What happened?”
“The Yang Family has learned of his return, and they’re planning revenge. Yang Yuanshan and Yang Yunlin are planning to take action personally.”
Ling Ruonan’s words made Ling Mingrui frown slightly.
But he did not immediately respond.
After thinking for a while, he gestured for Ling Ruonan to come inside to talk.
Ling Ruonan had originally intended to discuss this matter in front of her grandfather and father, but since Ling Mingrui didn’t plan to take her to see her grandfather, although somewhat reluctant, she obediently sat down beside Ling Mingrui.
“Explain the specific situation,” Ling Mingrui instructed Ling Ruonan.
Ling Ruonan didn’t hide anything, recounting the recent events: how Luo Ziling had grown close to Yang Qingyin, out of fear that trouble might arise, she tried to persuade them apart, but it was ultimately too late, and the Yang Family found out.
Upon hearing this, Ling Mingrui couldn’t help but show a surprised expression, “Your son, is actually dating the granddaughter of the Yang Family?”
“Not exactly dating, but they indeed are close. They even went to Bashang Grassland together during the National Day holidays,” Ling Ruonan didn’t really want to deny that Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin were in a relationship.
“Heh, that’s really interesting,” Ling Mingrui actually laughed and shook his head, “Old Sir Yang, oh Old Sir Yang, you never thought this would happen. Your granddaughter is actually dating my grandson. Heh, don’t you think that our Ling Family’s descendants are still outstanding?”
Ling Ruonan was surprised that her father would tease in such a manner but, after giving it some thought, felt very happy about it.
Dad referred to Luo Ziling as the grandson and talked about him as a descendant of the Ling Family. Did this mean that Dad acknowledged Luo Ziling as his grandson?
“It seems your son is truly remarkable, or else the Yang Family’s snobbish young granddaughter wouldn’t travel with your son,” Ling Mingrui looked at Ling Ruonan with a chuckle and then asked, “What’s your plan for coming here today? Do you want our help for your son? To bring him back, or what?”
“Dad, it’s neither,” Ling Ruonan shook her head, “I just wanted to inform you about this matter, so you’re aware, in case something happens and you don’t know what’s going on. I’m not afraid of their retaliation. I will protect Ziling and not let him suffer any harm.”
Hearing Ling Ruonan say this, Ling Mingrui’s face showed a smile of approval.
“Come with me to see grandpa,” he said, standing up.
