The conversation was interrupted by Ling Mingrui halfway through, which left Luo Ziling feeling a bit dissatisfied, but after exchanging glances with Ling Ruonan, he ultimately remained silent.
"Everyone, follow !" Ling Mingrui stood up. "Since the words have been spoken, and we're preparing to use real power, let's go to my father's place and clarify everything."
He finished speaking and, without waiting for Ling Zhengping, Ling Ruonan, and Luo Ziling to respond, strode outside.
Luo Ziling quickly got up, supported Ling Ruonan's arm as she stood up, and followed Ling Mingrui out.
As they headed out the door, he saw his grandmother Xie Enhua looking quite upset.
It seed like Xie Enhua had been eavesdropping outside the door, as she otherwise wouldn't have such an expression.
"Mom, I'm going with Dad and brother to see Grandpa." Ling Ruonan whispered to Xie Enhua, "I'll bring Ziling back later, and I'll co to see you again in a few days."
Xie Enhua looked at Ling Ruonan with mixed emotions, glanced at Ling Zhengping who walked out behind them, and finally just sighed, "Alright, you all go ahead!"
Ling Ruonan nodded at Xie Enhua, and after Luo Ziling bid "Goodbye Grandma," mother and son followed Ling Mingrui out.
"Mom, I'm leaving now!" Ling Zhengping didn't say much to Xie Enhua, just gave a brief goodbye and left.
In a short while, the cars carrying the four of them started and left Ling Mingrui's villa.
Ling Mingrui drove his own car, while Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan shared a ride, with Ling Zhengping's car tailing theirs.
In the car, Luo Ziling asked Ling Ruonan, "Mom, did I make things more complicated?"
"It doesn't matter now!" Ling Ruonan said calmly, "Since your grandfather invited us both to discuss this matter today, we must reveal everything. I was surprised by Ling Zhengping's words. Given that he said what he did, us being a bit more emotional is nothing."
Luo Ziling knew Ling Ruonan was in a bad mood and had a determined spirit, so he didn't feel anxious anymore.
"Mom, if Ling Zhengping wants a full confrontation with us, how should we respond?"
"We've already reached a confrontation, and another round won't matter. Still, in front of your great grandfather, he won't act like that. Also, he's likely to apologize to your grandfather, whether he'll apologize to us, I don't know," Ling Ruonan shared her thoughts and answered Ziling's hypothetical, "If he really wants a full confrontation, then we'll face it head-on. I just want to see how partial your great grandfather and grandfather will be to him."
Luo Ziling pondered for a mont and asked, "Mom, can't grandfather make a decision about our disputes?"
"Grandfather can decide but he cannot, as your great grandfather favors Ling Zhengping," Ling Ruonan clutched Luo Ziling's hand and quietly reminded him, "In front of your great grandfather, you must be careful. You can't be silent, but think carefully about what you say. This may impact our fate, as mother and son, and that of your father, your grandfather, and those closely related to us."
"Mom, I understand!" Luo Ziling nodded. "No matter what, we must fight for our greatest interests. Given how Ling Zhengping treated us, we need to make him pay the rightful price."
"I've been too accommodating, otherwise things wouldn't be like this," Ling Ruonan said with a bitter smile, shaking her head, "He actually dared to openly admit now."
"Mom, no matter the outco tonight, I will ensure Ling Zhengping experiences the feeling of being avenged," Luo Ziling's eyes flashed with intent as he spoke.
"Don't do anything foolish!" Ling Ruonan squeezed Luo Ziling's hand tightly, "If you target Ling Zhengping, it will only anger your grandfather and great grandfather."
"I won't kill Ling Zhengping, but I will make sure he experiences revenge," Luo Ziling remained firm, "Later, I want to share this plan with my great grandfather and grandfather. If they accept our mutual sches and revenge, then I have nothing more to say!"
Ling Ruonan thought it over and understood Luo Ziling's intentions, but ultimately sighed deeply and said nothing more.
The car soon arrived at the Ling Family Old Mansion.
In the evenings, Ling Jinhua generally doesn't receive visitors.
He prefers his rest ti not to be disturbed.
But Ling Mingrui, Ling Zhengping, and Ling Ruonan aren't outsiders. Coming at this hour surely ans they have important matters to discuss with him.
Therefore, upon hearing from the staff, Ling Jinhua rely furrowed his brow slightly and allowed Ling Mingrui, Ling Zhengping, Ling Ruonan, and Luo Ziling to enter.
"You're certainly idle!" Once inside, Ling Jinhua, who was lying in a lounge chair watching TV, humd with a hint of discontent, "Causing such a commotion, are you preparing for a showdown?"
Ling Mingrui apologized and briefly explained what had just happened to Ling Jinhua.
After explaining, he further inford Ling Jinhua that this concerns the life and death of the Ling Family, stressing the importance of informing him for a resolution.
Ling Mingrui earnestly expressed his helplessness to Ling Jinhua, "Dad, I feel truly incompetent, unable to handle disputes between my son and daughter."
Ling Jinhua lifted his head, glanced at Ling Zhengping, then at Ling Ruonan, and finally his gaze settled on Luo Ziling.
"So, are you planning a rebellion?" Ling Jinhua playfully looked at Luo Ziling, "Thinking of acting against your uncle?"
"My dear uncle has already acted against at least seven tis. Great Grandfather, don't you think I'm too weak? I know returning kindness for malice is not virtuous," Luo Ziling squinted at Ling Jinhua, "If I were as ruthless as my dear uncle, your grandson would have been reincarnated long ago. But considering family ties, knowing he's your grandson, my grandfather's son, my mother's own brother. Regardless, unless I'm pushed to the limit, I won't harbor evil thoughts."
"So, you're now at that limit?"
"Even a cornered rabbit will bite; I'm that rabbit now," Luo Ziling recounted the recent incident and the secret dealings between Ling Zhengping and Chen Yijing to Ling Mingrui.
After explaining, he chuckled, "Actually, I think my dear uncle's move is quite clever, leaving at a loss. If this spreads, it'll undoubtedly confirm suspicions that I wanted to kill Chen Yijing to vent my anger. If there are witnesses and evidence, I'd face legal repercussions, perhaps even repaying with my life if Chen Yijing were truly killed."
Upon hearing Luo Ziling's words, Ling Jinhua showed no unusual expression, rely looking cheerfully at Luo Ziling.
