Capítulo 2038: Chapter 2038: Do You Have This Ability?
On the way back, Luo Ziling asked Ling Ruonan, “Mom, did Grandpa ever talk to you about things related to the struggles with the Ling Family?”
“What did your Grandpa say to you?” Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling in return.
“He told a lot while playing chess.”
“Let’s talk about it when we get ho!” Seeing Luo Ziling wanted to discuss this matter in the car, Ling Ruonan promptly interrupted him.
In their car, there was also the driver and Wuyue who was sitting in the front passenger seat.
Even though both the driver and Wuyue were Ling Ruonan’s trusted aids, Ling Ruonan still didn’t want them to learn about matters related to the Ling Family.
Wuyue was quite tactful. She knew that this was not sothing she should know about, so she sensibly refrained from prying into the matter.
After dropping off Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan at the villa, she went on to attend to her own business.
“What did your Grandpa say to you?” As soon as they entered the house, Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling directly.
Luo Ziling then recounted to her what Ling Mingrui had just told him, and he also shared his own views, “Mom, I think the differences between Grandpa and Great Grandfather are quite substantial. I hope it’s just my misconception.”
Ling Ruonan sighed and said, “Your Great Grandfather is not very satisfied with so of your Grandpa’s actions, and your Grandpa doesn’t support so of Great Grandfather’s decisions. Anyway, they’ve always been like this, I’m not surprised anymore.”
“But I feel like things are different between them now compared to before.”
“That’s true,” Ling Ruonan didn’t deny it, “Your Grandpa doesn’t want Great Grandfather to interfere with his decisions, after all, he’s been the Head of the Ling Family for many years now. However, Great Grandfather always intervenes in big matters, making him sotis feel out of place. Your Grandpa is almost seventy, yet he has always lived in the shadow of Great Grandfather, which he’s quite unwilling to accept.”
“I understand now.” Luo Ziling chuckled, “Grandpa wants independence, but Great Grandfather is always concerned, so he often interferes with Grandpa’s decisions. And Grandpa is helpless about it, without a good solution. Grandpa hopes that Great Grandfather won’t interfere in his decisions but also hopes that Great Grandfather can live a few more years, so the prestige of the Ling Family can continue to surpass the other families. He’s also conflicted, everyone is conflicted.”
Ling Ruonan softly nodded her head.
“Mom, should we use the conflict between the two of them to our advantage?” Luo Ziling cautiously asked.
Ling Ruonan gently nodded and whispered, “Your Grandpa has no intention of targeting us, which is better than Great Grandfather.”
“Mom, since that’s the case, I’ve got it.” Luo Ziling chuckled and then asked, “Mom, I still don’t fully understand, why did we go to see Grandpa today?”
“Your Grandpa indeed thinks highly of you and is willing to give you opportunities.”
Ling Ruonan’s words made Luo Ziling suddenly see the light, “I understand.”
Ling Ruonan didn’t say much more.
Then, the mother and son talked about Luo Xusheng.
Ling Ruonan told Luo Ziling that if nothing unexpected happened, Luo Xusheng would report to Yanjing in about half a month.
After he arrives in Yanjing, he won’t return to Jinling, aning he’ll only co over after all the work there is entirely wrapped up.
“With Grandpa backing us up and Li Haiyang organizing things a bit, there should be no problem,” Luo Ziling noticed Ling Ruonan’s worry and consoled her, “Mom, there’s no need to worry about Dad’s matters. He’s been through a lot of gunfire and hasn’t he co through? Besides, as your son, I’m so formidable, and he’s lived twenty more years than , he should be much more formidable than I am.”
“I hope my worries are unnecessary.” Luo Ziling’s remarks left Ling Ruonan with nothing much to say.
“Mom, Phoenix will definitely help Dad, and Lin Lan would too. There are quite a few people in Dragon Rise who know well, they shouldn’t try to trip up Dad.” Seeing that Ling Ruonan wasn’t at ease, Luo Ziling had to reassure her further, “The way soldiers interact is different from ours. Even as soone who’s not a soldier, they treat so well. Much less my Dad, who is a soldier.”
Ling Ruonan nodded and didn’t say anything further.
At this ti, Luo Ziling’s phone rang, and seeing it was an unknown number, he imdiately answered it.
“Mr. Luo, are you free now?” As soon as the call connected, a hearty voice ca through, “I’m Chen Yihe, if you’re free tonight, let’s go out for tea!”
“I just left my Grandpa’s place, wait a mont, and I’ll head over.” Luo Ziling checked the ti; it was just after seven-thirty, and he should be heading to et Chen Yihe.
He had planned to et Chen Yihe at eight o’clock, but he hadn’t expected Chen Yihe to call first.
Since Chen Yihe took the initiative to call, it was definitely a gesture, and he couldn’t respond indifferently.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Luo Ziling hung up the phone.
“Chen Yihe asked to et you?” Ling Ruonan was slightly surprised.
“Yes!” Luo Ziling nodded, “Since he’s asked, I should go et him, right? By the way, what should I call him? Cousin Grandpa?”
“That would be the right term!” Ling Ruonan nodded, “Your Dad calls him Cousin, so you should call him Cousin Grandpa. Since he wants to et, you should go see him.”
Ling Ruonan then shared with Luo Ziling the details of her eting with Chen Yihe a few days ago.
Chen Yihe was quite proactive; he recently asked to et Ling Ruonan, and they discussed many topics. Chen Yihe also expressed a desire to collaborate with Ling Ruonan and the Northern Group, hoping for more interactions since they were close relatives.
“Chen Yihe’s gesture is certainly related to the recent struggle. Seeing Chen Ruchang lose his montum and Chen Yining and Chen Yijing lose their influence, he feels they have an opportunity. Rember, they’re also from the Chen Family, and their temperants are sowhat similar to Chen Yining and Chen Yijing. They’re opportunists, don’t be fooled by their enthusiasm.”
“Grandfather still thinks highly of them.”
“Your Grandfather just wants to help them a little, it’s your grandmother’s dying wish after all. He’s also aware of the natures of Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping, so he won’t fully trust them. Of course, if we can support Chen Yihe or Chen Yiping to take charge of the Chen Family, it’s undoubtedly beneficial for us.” Ling Ruonan quietly advised Luo Ziling, “When you et to discuss with Chen Yihe or Chen Yiping, focus on the benefits. Chen Yiping should also reach out to you actively.”
“Okay, I’ll rember your advice.” Luo Ziling smiled at Ling Ruonan, “Then I’ll be off!”
After Luo Ziling left, Ling Ruonan still didn’t go upstairs to rest. Instead, she sat on the sofa deep in thought.
After pondering for a long ti, she finally stood up to go upstairs.
As she ascended the stairs, she was silently thinking to herself, “Ling’er, if you have the ability to control Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping brothers, and ultimately control the Chen Family through them, then we would be the biggest winners, and no one could do anything to us. Do you have that ability?”
