Capítulo 1991: Chapter 1991: Your Son Is Smarter Than You
(Fifth Update)
Ling Jinhua was very angry, Luo Ziling actually used a historical story to mock him, criticizing him, saying he was incompetent.
Of course, he wouldn’t admit to being incompetent, wouldn’t think he did anything wrong.
So, after frowning and glaring at Luo Ziling, he retorted, breathing heavily, “Back in the day, Zhao Kuo’s empty talk cost 400,000 Yue soldiers their lives, directly destroying the state of Zhao.”
“I don’t talk empty words,” Luo Ziling, however, did not accept Ling Jinhua’s accusation and seriously countered, “Using history as a mirror, one can understand the rise and fall. I’m just discussing history with you, Great Grandfather.”
“Every era has its own characteristics, and they can’t be simply replicated,” Ling Jinhua said, waving his hand forcefully to signal Luo Ziling to stop talking, “I understand what you an, but this isn’t sothing one person can decide, it’s the will of the collective. Even if you were in Lin Zeping’s position, many things wouldn’t be for you to decide. Understand?”
“Of course I understand,” Luo Ziling nodded, “Pointing at the land, writing boldly, lanting the past Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. I think, there’s nothing wrong with saying these things. If even the young aren’t allowed to speak up, then who will?”
Luo Liansheng sat to the side, happily watching Luo Ziling and Ling Jinhua argue. In the end, he said with a hint of sarcasm, “Old man, it seems your views can’t even persuade my grandson.”
Ling Jinhua also replied angrily, “Your grandson is too individualistic, too self-important, thinking the world is in his hands. As if giving him an army would enable him to conquer the earth.”
“That’s not what I an,” Luo Ziling interjected again, “Actually, many things have commonalities. Like , even though many people bullied , I fought back fiercely ti and again. Those who want to bully again have to think twice. I believe if I didn’t retaliate when bullied, didn’t show a tough stance, perhaps I would have been long dead, or living a life worse than death. If you are tough and don’t yield, others will back off. It’s the sa among nations!”
Ling Jinhua glared at Luo Ziling, but ultimately said nothing.
After dinner, Ling Jinhua also went back to his room, and Luo Ziling, Luo Liansheng, and Luo Xusheng went back to their room together.
When parting with Ling Jinhua, Luo Liansheng said he’d co over in an hour to help treat Ling Jinhua.
Back in the room, Luo Xusheng worriedly said to Luo Liansheng, “Dad, will this upset the old man?”
Luo Liansheng, however, was unconcerned, “He won’t get mad, it’s his actions that are infuriating. Maybe you haven’t seen his true intentions, but your son has, so he fought back. The tallest tree in the forest gets destroyed by the wind. Your son doesn’t want to suffer such a fate, that’s why today the old and young are openly and secretly battling. The old man looks at your son with fresh eyes, that’s an undeniable fact. Perhaps as the situation becos more complex, he will have his concerns. Hopefully, one day he’ll understand that not everything can be achieved just by wanting it. Achieving things requires paying a price.”
Seeing Luo Liansheng also speaking up for Luo Ziling, Luo Xusheng, though uneasy, didn’t say anything further.
“Your son is braver and more agile-minded than you,” Luo Liansheng also began to criticize Luo Xusheng, “Though he cos off as aggressive, he’s very strategic. He doesn’t explicitly bla anything, but uses historical allegories to make his point clear. Such ntality can’t be matched by the Ling Family offspring. The fourth generation of the Ling Family, even if gathered together, isn’t a match for your son. As long as we don’t endanger the interests and safety of the Ling Family, Old Ling won’t raise the hatchet. He might even be too weak to raise the hatchet now.”
Luo Xusheng knew things were more complicated than he thought, so he wisely didn’t ask anything.
Luo Xusheng didn’t stay long, as he had other matters to handle, so after chatting a bit with Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling, he left.
After Luo Xusheng left, Luo Liansheng told Luo Ziling to rest or go out for a bit, while he went to help treat Ling Jinhua and chat a bit.
Luo Ziling didn’t say anything, letting Luo Liansheng go.
Once Luo Liansheng left, Luo Ziling didn’t want to sleep so early, so he planned to go out for a stroll.
He wanted to wander around the lively Qinhuai River.
It was only eight o’clock in the evening, so he had plenty of ti to go for a walk and co back. To avoid trouble, Luo Ziling dressed carefully, making sure he looked completely different from usual before leaving satisfied.
As he was about to go out, he called Wuyue.
This ti, Wuyue brought along so people with them.
Before they ca, Ling Ruonan repeatedly reminded Wuyue to ensure the safety of Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng.
Although with the support of Luo Xusheng after arriving in Jinling, the security was basically secure, Wuyue dared not slack off at all.
When Luo Ziling wanted to go out, she imdiately arranged the security work and, after dressing up a bit, accompanied him as his girlfriend.
When they arrived near Confucius Temple by car, the two got off early.
As they walked side by side towards Confucius Temple, Luo Ziling joked to Wuyue, “Am I not too lucky to always have a beautiful woman accompanying wherever I go?”
Wuyue saw Luo Ziling with a playful smile, couldn’t help but glare at him, and said with a grumble, “You’re quite pleased with yourself, huh?”
“Of course, having beautiful company wherever I go, shouldn’t I be?” Luo Ziling said, grabbing Wuyue’s arm and reminding her, “If you’re going to pose as my girlfriend, act the part and hold my hand.”
Wuyue hesitated for a mont, but eventually, awkwardly hooked her arm with Luo Ziling’s.
At first, she was a bit nervous, but that sense of duty soon cald her down.
Going out today wasn’t about experiencing romance with Luo Ziling, but to ensure his safety.
So she quickly shifted her focus from Luo Ziling to their surroundings, repeatedly reminding the security personnel following them via a mini earpiece to be wary of any unexpected situations.
Their disguise operation today was very successful. Once they left the hotel, no one followed them, not even the reporters in the lobby noticed anything unusual. After walking a few hundred ters holding Luo Ziling’s hand and cautiously surveying their surroundings several tis, Wuyue finally relaxed her guard.
“With you holding my hand, why don’t I feel the happiness of a beautiful woman holding my arm?” While Wuyue was vigilantly checking the surroundings, Luo Ziling expressed his dissatisfaction, “Look, how are actual couples supposed to walk? If soone with a keen eye sees us like this, we’ll be exposed imdiately!”
Wuyue blushed, a bit shyly said, “I lack experience in this area.”
After being said like that by Luo Ziling, her heart was a bit flustered.
Could it be, that today Luo Ziling wanted to take advantage of her?
