Chapter 719: Chapter 719 The Change in Ling Ruonan’s Attitude

Yang Qingyin shared some of the things she knew with Ling Ruonan, including the things she had talked about with Luo Ziling that evening.

She also mentioned in front of Luo Ziling the incident that occurred during her mother’s birthday.

Ling Ruonan was somewhat surprised that Yang Qingyin would tell her these things.

But in the end, she simply said that it was up to Yang Qingyin to decide these matters, and she couldn’t offer an opinion.

Although Ling Ruonan said this, Yang Qingyin was still quite happy.

“Mom, did you call me here just to tell me about Grandpa’s visit?” Seeing that Ling Ruonan was no longer speaking, Luo Ziling felt a bit odd and took the initiative to ask.

“Mrs. Ling, Ziling, you two talk. I’ll go for a walk and see what they’re up to,” Yang Qingyin tactfully stood up, ready to leave the space for mother and son.

“It’s cold outside, you should watch TV in the living room,” Ling Ruonan stood up and gestured for Luo Ziling to follow her upstairs, “Ling’er, let’s go upstairs to talk.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling didn’t refuse, stood up, and then said to Yang Qingyin, “School sister, you watch TV by yourself, I have something to discuss with my mom.”

“It’s okay, you guys talk. I haven’t watched TV in a long time,” Yang Qingyin smiled generously and stood up.

Ling Ruonan didn’t say much more and went upstairs with Luo Ziling.

“Yesterday afternoon, Lin Jiaming and Ling Haining handed in their resignations to me, but I didn’t approve them,” once they reached Ling Ruonan’s room upstairs, Ling Ruonan immediately started talking, “If they are insistent on leaving, there’s nothing I can do. Actually, their departure from the company is better for the development of Northern Group. If they stay, they might make little moves that could damage the company’s reputation or cause trouble for me.”

“Mom, are you worried that once they leave, other members of the Ling Family will come and there will be another round of strategizing and competition, right?”

“That’s right,” Ling Ruonan didn’t deny it and nodded before adding, “The two of them are just juniors. Lin Jiaming may be a generation older than you, but he is still young and immature in handling matters. Ling Haining is indeed smart, but he is also young and unlikely to be very slick in his actions. My fear is that after these two leave, if someone of my generation from the Ling Family comes to Northern Group, that would make things relatively more troublesome.”

“Mom, you must have thought of a plan already, right?” Luo Ziling smiled as he took Ling Ruonan’s hand, “I think no one can match you; you are the most outstanding among the Ling Family.”

“But I am after all a woman, and moreover, an outsider married into the Ling Family. In the eyes of most of the Ling Family, I’m no longer one of them,” Ling Ruonan said, sighing deeply and gripping Luo Ziling’s hand tighter, “After this incident, not only did we go to state our case in front of the old master and your maternal grandfather, but my elder brother, Ling Haining’s father Ling Zhengping, also took Ling Haining to see the old master and your maternal grandfather. Ling Minglan, mother of Lin Jiaming, also took Lin Jiaming to the old master’s place, and she even argued with my father for a while.”

“Mom, they started it first, so don’t worry about it,” Luo Ziling had a murderous tone when he spoke, “I won’t accept being bullied by them all the time, I will retaliate.”

The only situation Luo Ziling could accept being bullied was by beautiful women, and of course, it was only when done with good intentions.

If other people bullied him, especially men, he would definitely fight back.

In the past, when Ouyang Huihui and Ouyang Feifei bullied him, Lin Lan did too, he didn’t really mind, because they were beautiful women, and he had a compassionate heart towards beauties, also wanting to show magnanimity in front of them, so he didn’t make a big deal out of it.

The one who bullied him the most was naturally Yang Qingyin, and he quite liked it when Yang Qingyin bullied him, so he was even less inclined to mind.

“The other night, when Ling Haijun was taken to the police station, it was you who arranged it, wasn’t it?” Ling Ruonan asked indifferently.

“I didn’t ask; it must have been those two guys who planned it,” Luo Ziling hadn’t heard anything about it from Wang Zhenjun or Yang Xiaodong, thus he couldn’t give Ling Ruonan a definite answer, “I just told them that some people often bullied me, and if they had free time, to do something, to bully those people back. I only gave them a list, I didn’t know how they would go about it.”

“That’s fine,” Ling Ruonan didn’t stop Luo Ziling from doing anything, after thinking for a while, she asked again, “What are your plans regarding your relationship with Yang Qingyin? Do you want to marry her?”

Not expecting Ling Ruonan to ask such a direct question, Luo Ziling didn’t know how to respond at first.

After thinking for a while, he said somewhat evasively, “Mom, I really haven’t thought about this issue, it seems like it’s not time yet. She has now bought a house, ready to break away from her family. If she continues to treat me this way, then I definitely won’t let her down. Unless something unexpected happens, I would like to be with her in the end. As long as this feeling can be maintained, I will break through some obstacles and strive to spend my life with her.”

“Sigh,” Ling Ruonan sighed, “Actually, I now feel that Ouyang Feifei is more suitable for you, after all, there’s no barrier between you and Ouyang Feifei. Plus, you get along quite well with Ouyang Feifei now, often visiting her villa alone. Her willingness to accept you like this is enough to show her attitude. However, the final choice is still up to you.”

After pausing, Ling Ruonan added, “Being together with Yang Qingyin will be extremely difficult, and there might come a day when you can’t hold on anymore. Mom isn’t stopping your relationship with her now, and I quite like Qingyin as well, just saying that if you eventually have to part ways, Mom suggests that you could consider Ouyang Feifei.”

“Mom, weren’t you against my arranged marriage with Ouyang Feifei before?” Luo Ziling seemed very surprised, “The decision to break off the engagement came from you, didn’t it?”

“Indeed, it was,” Ling Ruonan nodded, “At that time, I didn’t expect things would turn out this way. My main concern was that I didn’t want you to follow in the footsteps of the tragedy your father and I experienced, as definitely two unfamiliar people forced together couldn’t be happy. And I was also afraid you wouldn’t be able to handle Ouyang Feifei, because she is too smart and too strong. But after you came to Yanjing, Ouyang Feifei didn’t behave aggressively, and got along quite well with you. Your relationship is pretty good, and my impression of her has changed a lot too. Still, the final decision is yours.”

Finally, Ling Ruonan said earnestly, “Anyways, the Ouyang Family hasn’t agreed to cancel the engagement, and we don’t have to bring it up again. We’ll just play it by ear when the time comes. All I wish for is your happiness.”

Luo Ziling didn’t know how to respond to Ling Ruonan’s words.
