However, Ling Ruonan didn't explain much and didn't tell Luo Ziling who Ouyang Huihui was going to marry.
Luo Ziling was very curious and wanted to ask, but in the end, he didn't.
Ling Ruonan didn't want to say more about this matter either; after a brief silence, she talked about other things.
She told Luo Ziling that Ishihara Tarou and Xu Chongzhi would be coming over tomorrow, and that neither of them needed to greet them. They should make them wait for two days before addressing them.
Luo Ziling agreed.
Ling Ruonan also spoke about so matters concerning the Northern Group. Anyway, on the way, the mother and son didn't stop talking.
Luo Liansheng went ahead of them, having been picked up by soone Ling Ruonan sent. Originally, Luo Ziling wanted to go with his grandfather, but since he still had so matters to attend to and wanted to discuss them with Ling Ruonan, he didn't go over together.
When Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan arrived at the Ouyang family's villa, Luo Liansheng and Ouyang Lingyun were drinking tea in the pavilion in the middle of the pool.
Ouyang Feifei was by their side, but Ouyang Huihui was not seen.
Luo Ziling followed Ling Ruonan towards the pavilion.
Seeing Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan coming, Ouyang Feifei imdiately stood up to greet them.
Today, Ouyang Feifei was dressed very beautifully, in a tight long dress of plain color, which highlighted her figure very well.
Her hair was tied up high, exposing her long neck, exuding a noble aura to its fullest extent.
Today, Ling Ruonan only wore a fitting business suit. Though she looked full of heroic spirit and competence, in terms of beauty, she was far less than Ouyang Feifei. Plus, Ouyang Feifei had the advantage of age, so she looked more beautiful and outstanding than Ling Ruonan today.
Luo Ziling looked at Ouyang Feifei, then at Ling Ruonan, and finally sighed slightly.
A woman's beauty is ultimately defeated by age—he inexplicably thought of this sentence.
Beauty in decline, this is one of life's greatest tragedies.
Ling Ruonan, in her forties, could still compete with the beauty of the twenty-sothing Ouyang Feifei, which was already a miracle.
He didn't know what Ling Ruonan would beco after another decade or more.
But one thing he believed, ten years later, Ouyang Feifei would still be very beautiful, unless she encountered a major mishap.
And Ling Ruonan would surely beco an old lady.
While inexplicably thinking wildly, Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei were already sitting next to the two elders playing chess, talking quietly.
Luo Ziling didn't disturb Luo Liansheng and Ouyang Lingyun, who were playing chess, instead, he sat there quietly watching.
Luo Liansheng and Ouyang Lingyun glanced at Luo Ziling but said nothing to him, focusing on their ga.
Luo Liansheng's chess skills were good, and Ouyang Lingyun also loved chess; they used to be chess friends before.
Ouyang Lingyun's chess skills were not bad, almost a match for Luo Liansheng.
The two had reached the midga, with neither side gaining an advantage.
Luo Ziling sat aside watching the ga and analyzed the board for them in his mind.
Soon, he was imrsed in the ga. Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei, who were chatting on the side, didn't bother them either.
The chess ga between Ouyang Lingyun and Luo Liansheng was so exquisite that it drew much admiration from Luo Ziling.
After a while, a fragrant breeze drifted over, Luo Ziling looked up and noticed another person had entered the pavilion.
Dressed in a red long dress, looking very youthful and vibrant, Ouyang Huihui stood quietly by his side.
As Luo Ziling looked up, Ouyang Huihui smiled at him.
Luo Ziling gestured her to keep silent and pointed to the chessboard.
Ouyang Huihui, who originally wanted to greet Luo Ziling, also kept silent in ti.
Luo Ziling didn't pay attention to Ouyang Huihui, continuing to focus on the chess ga.
Ouyang Huihui was quite surprised that Luo Ziling treated her so coldly after not seeing each other for so long.
However, she still didn't speak or express anything, and left Luo Ziling's side, going to sit next to Ouyang Feifei to chat with Ling Ruonan. The three won, fearing to disturb Luo Liansheng and Ouyang Lingyun playing chess, got up and went to talk in another direction.
Luo Ziling ignored them and continued watching Luo Liansheng and Ouyang Lingyun play chess.
Half an hour later, Luo Liansheng and Ouyang Lingyun finally finished their ga.
Luo Ziling helped them count the final score, finding that Luo Liansheng won by a narrow margin of one and three-quarters point.
"Haha, a lucky victory, so ashad, so ashad!" Luo Liansheng clasped his hands in salute to Ouyang Lingyun, smiling, "Ouyang, your chess skills are getting better and better."
"Luo, you're being modest, I could never match you." Ouyang Lingyun glanced at Luo Ziling, then at the three won talking on the other side, smiling just as heartily, "I study chess often since I have nothing better to do. But even after so long, I can't compare with you, alas!"
The two old guys pretended to be modest, and Luo Ziling couldn't help but feel a bit of disdain in his heart, though he dared not say it out loud.
After so mutual complints, the two old n got up contentedly and walked along the wooden bridge in another direction.
Luo Ziling didn't follow them, guessing that the two elders had more to discuss.
He also didn't want to join the three won, so he sat alone in the pavilion, tidying up the chessboard for the two elders.
Unexpectedly, while he was tidying the chessboard, Ouyang Huihui left the other two won and ran back to the pavilion.
"What, I've co back, and there's no reaction from you?" Ouyang Huihui sat opposite Luo Ziling, looking at him with playful eyes, "After not seeing for so long, don't you even greet ?"
"Didn't you see they were seriously playing chess?" Luo Ziling pointed to Luo Liansheng and Ouyang Lingyun's backs, "A real gentleman stays silent while watching chess, didn't you know that?"
"I'm just a lady, not a gentleman."
"But I'm a gentleman!"
"You're a hypocrite... a typical one!"
Luo Ziling looked up, surprised, at Ouyang Huihui.
Ouyang Huihui seed to be prettier than before.
There were many changes in her overall deanor, becoming more confident.
Her figure also seed better than before—glancing at Ouyang Huihui, Luo Ziling confird one thing, which was that the little life they created together was really gone.
"A hypocrite then, no big deal." Luo Ziling said as he continued tidying the chess pieces.
"I stayed in Europe for less than a year before coming back, then continued my studies at Yan University. Do you think they are playing ?"
"That's your family affair!" Luo Ziling said without looking up, "Whatever agreents you have, I'm an outsider and won't comnt."
"It seems like you don't want to co back?" Ouyang Huihui looked at Luo Ziling with a bit of resentnt, "Is that so?"
"Aren't you afraid your grandfather will send you back to Europe again?"
"Not at all!" Ouyang Huihui pouted, "I just wanted to see how the person I spent a night with would treat . Since you're treating like this, I have no regrets left. Ending the past, starting a new life, that's what I need to do after coming back."
Luo Ziling remained unmoved, smiled, and wished her well: "Then I wish you good luck!"
Ouyang Huihui's expression changed slightly.
