Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: A Bit Worried Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: A Bit Worried The dinner was exceptionally lavish, with a full table of dishes.
Ling Mingrui had also prepared fine liquor, ten-year-aged Taibai.
The ten-year original brew Taibai, undiluted with anything else, was extrely precious and generally unattainable for most people.
Of course, the flavor of such liquor was incomparable to the freshly fernted yellow wine; its taste was exceptionally good.
Naturally, this was also a display of Ling Mingrui’s hospitality.
Presenting Luo Liansheng with the finest tea and liquor did not require many words; the level of hospitality alone revealed his intentions.
During the al, both elders drank their fill, cup after cup in continuous succession.
Xie Enhua and Ling Ruonan didn’t dare to dissuade them, letting them boast and drink to their heart’s content.
Due to his high position, Ling Mingrui was always a man of few words, and he was the sa when with his family.
But today, as he drank with Luo Liansheng, he talked a lot.
After talking about recent events for a while, he brought up old grudges and even ntioned the tis he had been beaten by Luo Liansheng.
During the al, Ling Mingrui had no complaints; there was only self-deprecating humor, sighs, and reminiscence of past events.
“My father highly respected you,” Ling Mingrui, having had a little too much to drink, slurred his speech a bit, “He once said you were one of the people he most admired. I was never convinced. You’re just a wanderer, after all. How could you deserve such high regard? But now, I sort of agree with my dad’s assessnt. You really are quite the impressive figure, apart from your official duties.”
Luo Liansheng was also forthright, “Actually, I’ve lived a more carefree life than you, which is why I seem younger in comparison. You’ve achieved a lot, and being in such a high position is seen as great success by many. But I live freely, without any burdens. Look at , don’t I seem to have a bit of an immortal’s aura? I bet I’ll live longer than you. Living a few years more would be a win.”
“Dad,” Ling Ruonan chid in with a smile, “you and my dad actually have similar personalities, both with many refined interests. When you have free ti, you should get together more often for chats and tea. My father often feels out of tune at ho with few true connections. I’ve never seen him this excited in years.”
Ling Mingrui let out a belch and waved dismissively at Ling Ruonan, “Luo is like a free-wandering crane; his interests lie in nature, out in the wild. The big city can’t keep him. I don’t believe he could stay in the Capital for a few months. In the future, if we want to drink and chat with him, he’ll likely be gone.”
“That’s true,” Luo Liansheng didn’t refute Ling Mingrui’s words, “but at least there are more opportunities to drink and chat together, right?”
“That there are,” Ling Mingrui nodded and added, “Luo, soday I’ll accompany you to visit my father. He often ntions you and wants to have a good talk.”
Luo Liansheng smiled and took another sip, “I’ve indeed been aning to visit him.”
“He’s eager to see you, to talk with you,” Ling Mingrui gestured to Luo Ziling, “Your grandson’s dical skills have truly inherited your legacy. I think you would agree, right? At least we have no doubt that his skills are not inferior to yours. He’s not asking you to personally treat him; he just wants to talk and perhaps receive so guidance.”
Pleased with the remark, Luo Liansheng boasted, “Your grandson is very smart. He picks up on things effortlessly. The excellent genes from both the Luo Family and the Ling Family have all been passed down to him.”
“Hahaha!” Ling Mingrui laughed along, looking at Luo Ziling with increased affection.
The happiest of all was Ling Ruonan, who normally didn’t drink much but took the initiative to join the two elders for a few glasses.
Xie Enhua was also very happy, following in drinking a few glasses.
In the end, except for Luo Ziling, everyone else had drunk until they were dizzy.
Ling Mingrui got drunk for the first ti in over a decade and, with Ling Ruonan’s support, went to the bedroom to sleep.
Luo Liansheng, who had never been drunk before, felt a bit groggy after drinking at least three jugs of yellow wine, and ultimately it was Luo Ziling who helped him into the car.
On the way back to the villa after saying their goodbyes, Ling Ruonan held Luo Ziling’s hand happily. “Ling’er, I’m so glad to see your grandfather and your maternal grandfather set aside their past grievances. When your maternal grandfather accompanies your grandfather to Great Grandfather’s place, you should go with them and join in their conversation.”
“Mm,” Luo Ziling gripped Ling Ruonan’s hand tightly, “I’ll definitely go with them when the ti cos.”
“I want to go too!”
“I forgot to ntion sothing today,” Luo Ziling suddenly rembered sothing and dismally slapped his forehead, “I should have talked to them about planning the wedding for you and Dad. Even though I’m already grown up, we still need to have your wedding.”
A shy look imdiately appeared on Ling Ruonan’s face, and she shook her head embarrassedly. “Let’s not think about that now.”
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll take care of it when the ti cos,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “I’ll make sure you get a very grand wedding ceremony.”
“People will laugh at us!”
“How could they?” Luo Ziling shook his head, “Your wedding will definitely be the headline news of Yanjing and will shock the entire Capital.”
Although Ling Ruonan was secretly delighted inside, she still appeared bashful on the outside.
“The next ti I’m with Maternal Grandfather and Grandfather, I’ll bring it up so they’re aware.”
“Let’s talk about it when the ti cos!” Ling Ruonan beca bashfully like a young girl.
When the motorcade arrived at Ling Ruonan’s villa at the neighborhood entrance, Luo Ziling saw Yang Qingyin’s car parked there.
Upon seeing Ling Ruonan’s motorcade drive up, Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli got out of their car.
Seeing this, Luo Ziling quickly asked the driver to stop.
Luo Ziling opened the car door and got out, walking towards Yang Qingyin with a smile, “What are you doing here?”
“You didn’t reply to my ssage, and your phone was switched off; I guessed it probably ran out of battery,” Yang Qingyin said sowhat reproachfully, “So, I could only wait for you here.”
Luo Ziling told Yang Qingyin about his grandfather’s visit to Yanjing, and Yang Qingyin ntioned she wished to see him. But after hearing that Luo Liansheng was going to have dinner at Ling Mingrui’s place, she changed her mind, suggesting she’d visit when Luo Liansheng was free.
Luo Ziling didn’t expect Yang Qingyin would still wish to co and see Luo Liansheng in the evening and that she had been waiting there, which touched him a little.
He opened the car door, spoke with Ling Ruonan and Luo Liansheng for a mont, and then got into the car driven by Ye Xiaoli with Yang Qingyin, entering the neighborhood together.
Luo Liansheng had drunk a little too much today, but his alcohol tolerance was good, and he had taken dicine to sober up, so he was fine when he got ho.
Seeing that Yang Qingyin had been waiting on the road to visit, he was quite surprised.
However, he also sensed sothing else: Yang Qingyin, this young lady, was quite scheming.
He began to worry about Luo Ziling.
