Chapter 848: Chapter 848: Kindness Taken for Granted

Ling Jinhua seemed a bit more amiable than during the last treatment, and Ling Ruonan sighed in relief, while Luo Ziling felt slightly less pressured.

However, upon seeing Ling Mingrui, Ling Mingrui looked displeased, which made Luo Ziling feel somewhat annoyed again.

The incident caused by Ouyang Huihui had severely affected Luo Ziling’s mood, and though the misunderstandings between him and Yang Qingyin had been mostly cleared up, Luo Ziling keenly felt that their relationship had still been hurt and needed careful, delicate repair.

What was once a very beautiful relationship had been damaged by the event orchestrated by Ouyang Huihui. Luo Ziling detested this woman and decided to find a chance to scold Ouyang Huihui harshly someday, and he also wished never to see her again.

Already in a bad mood, seeing Ling Mingrui’s dissatisfied demeanor made Luo Ziling even more upset.

Unexpectedly, while feeling annoyed by Ling Mingrui, he suddenly received a call from Ouyang Huihui. Before he had the chance to confront her, Ouyang Huihui unexpectedly called him, asking to meet and talk, which surprised Luo Ziling.

He received Ouyang Huihui’s call just as he and Ling Mingrui were entering the study to discuss something privately.

Luo Ziling initially did not want to answer Ouyang Huihui’s call, fearing that Ling Mingrui might get angry, but after thinking it over, he decided to answer it anyway.

Hearing Ouyang Huihui speak without a trace of guilt and even sounding rather confident, Luo Ziling found it strange, but with Ling Mingrui by his side, he ultimately did not refuse and said he would meet her after he finished his business.

Of course, Ling Mingrui would not meddle in Luo Ziling’s private affairs, but he expressed his dissatisfaction when Luo Ziling took the call in front of him and showed impatience while speaking to the person on the other end.

“When you are in the Capital, you need not only to focus on your studies but also to learn about human relationships from your mother,” Ling Mingrui instructed Luo Ziling earnestly, “Many behaviors are a fundamental form of respect for a person.”

“I understand,” Luo Ziling replied with neither humility nor arrogance, “I also hope to receive respect from others, including everyone.”

This response left Ling Mingrui speechless, but he ultimately just looked at Luo Ziling disapprovingly.

Because of Ling Mingrui’s displeasure, Luo Ziling was not very committed while treating him. The treatment did not last long, about only half an hour, and did not require much effort, so by the end of it, Luo Ziling was still in good physical condition.

The feeling after the treatment was naturally not bad, so Ling Mingrui did not sense Luo Ziling was playing any games.

Great Grandmother Xie Enhua originally wanted to have Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan stay for dinner at the other residence, but Ling Ruonan politely declined.

She cited that she and Luo Ziling both had matters to attend to and took Luo Ziling away from the other residence.

“What did you guys talk about?” On their way, Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling, “Did you and your grandfather have a disagreement just now?”

“Basically, he’s dissatisfied with me and even sees me as an uncultured person,” Luo Ziling answered with an indifferent expression, “I treated him without receiving his gratitude; instead, there’s still dissatisfaction. It feels like wasting effort on an unappreciative person.”

“Your grandfather thinks you don’t respect him, but don’t worry too much about it. Their attitudes, including Great Grandfather’s, are improving. After all, they are elders; don’t fight against them because that would only result in our loss. Let’s head back and talk over anything else!”

“I still have some things to attend to, so I’ll come over and talk to you after I finish,” Luo Ziling prepared to meet with Ouyang Huihui first.

Glancing at the time, it was almost four o’clock in the afternoon, time to start preparing dinner. When Luo Ziling mentioned he had things to do, Ling Ruonan didn’t suspect anything; she just instructed him to come over after he was done, as she would go back to prepare the dinner.

Luo Ziling naturally agreed. He asked Ling Ruonan to drop him off at the school gate, and after her convoy left the school, he headed to the coffee shop where Ouyang Huihui was staying.

Upon entering the private room where Ouyang Huihui was, Luo Ziling sharply sensed the scent left behind by Yang Qingyin.

Yang Qingyin had a unique fragrance that was different from others, so Luo Ziling recognized it immediately.

“Were you just with Yang Qingyin here?” he asked Ouyang Huihui with a frown.

“No,” Ouyang Huihui shook her head, “I wasn’t with her just now.”

Ouyang Huihui certainly didn’t want to tell Luo Ziling that she had just had a tense confrontation with Yang Qingyin for quite a while.

If she were to tell Luo Ziling about it, she would definitely lose her composure.

“I smelled her scent. She definitely came here!”

Seeing Luo Ziling so certain, Ouyang Huihui thought for a moment and then stopped denying it, “She did come here, but not just now, it was over an hour ago. Over an hour ago shouldn’t be counted as ‘just now’, right!”

Luo Ziling naturally didn’t want to dwell on such issues with Ouyang Huihui, so he didn’t continue on this topic, but said unfriendly, “I’m here to hear your explanation. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise don’t blame me for not showing you face. You went too far!”

Hearing Luo Ziling speak this way, and seeing the coldness on his face, Ouyang Huihui couldn’t help but feel angry.

“Why are you treating me this way? I did this out of good intentions,” she retorted angrily.

And before Luo Ziling could react, she continued loudly, “Do you know that your grandfather, your mother, and my grandfather all think that Yang Qingyin is getting close to you for some unspeakable motives? She wants to use her beauty to get close to you and take the opportunity to seek revenge when you drop your guard. The Yang Family has not forgotten the old grudge and has been seeking revenge. You know yourself, since you returned to the Capital, how many accidents have you encountered? I think, the only ones who truly care about your safety are from the Ouyang Family, of course, along with your mom and grandfather. The Yang Family, the Ling Family—they all want you dead. The Yang Family planned so many events and still couldn’t harm you. They sent Yang Qingyin to approach you, using her beauty to destroy you. Have you ever thought about that possibility?”

Unexpectedly hearing Ouyang Huihui speak like this, Luo Ziling paused for a moment, but he immediately shook his head, “Don’t talk nonsense, that’s impossible.”

“There’s nothing impossible about it, I did it because I am afraid you might get hurt. That’s why I thought to drive a wedge between you two,” seeing Luo Ziling’s reaction was milder than she expected, Ouyang Huihui felt relieved and spoke with more confidence, “I’m telling you, I don’t have any ill intent, and neither do any members of the Ouyang Family, even though you came to our door to break off your engagement, humiliated my sister, humiliated the Ouyang Family. Don’t mistake our kindness for malice.”

She paused, then added very seriously, “I have your best interests at heart, yet you are so angry with me, do you think that’s fair?”
