When Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan arrived at the other courtyard where Ling Mingrui lived, Ling Mingrui had not come back yet.
When the mother and son passed the strict security check and entered the other courtyard, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon. In late November, Yanjing entered the true sense of winter. At 5:30, dusk had fallen, and it was cold and dark.
It gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.
Luo Ziling didn't feel anything at all, but when Ling Ruonan walked past the sentry post and walked towards the yard where his parents lived, a coldness that could not be expressed in words surged in his heart for no reason.
In the past, every time she came to her parents' place, she would feel at ease and relaxed about letting go of everything, because she had a mother who loved her. But during this time, Ling Ruonan clearly felt that the relationship with her parents, especially her father, was different.
The gap between them is growing day by day.
Although there was no quarrel between her and her mother, as the gap between her and her father deepened, the relationship between mother and daughter could no longer be as harmonious as before, at least in her opinion. Perhaps her mother Xie Enhua would
He still treated her as before, but Ling Ruonan couldn't get rid of the guilt in her heart. She also felt that her mother would definitely be resentful towards her and Luo Ziling, especially towards Luo Ziling.
Elders don't like juniors acting too arrogantly in front of themselves. It is certain that Luo Ziling's performance made Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui furious. It is impossible for Xie Enhua not to have prejudices. After all, Xie Enhua is a member of the Ling family.
As a mistress, she was forced to act in favor of Luo Ziling, which was still very inappropriate. It is understandable to have resentment in her heart.
Therefore, when Ling Ruonan led Luo Ziling into the yard, she still felt a little depressed. But when she saw Xie Enhua greeted her warmly and took her hand into the house, Ling Ruonan felt a little depressed.
The uncomfortable feeling has subsided somewhat.
"Your dad just called and said he won't be back for a while. He asked us not to wait for him to eat. The three of us should eat first," Xie Enhua said, letting go of Ling Ruonan's hand, and then smiled at Luo Ziling
Said: "Ling'er, are you hungry? Grandma has prepared some dishes that you like to eat for you today. The weather is cold, how about you drink some wine to warm your body?"
Luo Ziling did not refuse and agreed readily: "If grandma wants to drink, then I will have a drink with you."
The last time we had dinner together, he saw Xie Enhua drinking a glass of rice wine, and then heard Ling Ruonan say that her mother had the habit of drinking, not because she was addicted to alcohol, but to maintain her health.
Have a glass of rice wine with each meal at dinner, about two taels, and don’t drink more. This is the maintenance advice Luo Liansheng gave her before, and she has always followed it. Luo Ziling doesn’t know why her grandfather gave Xie Enhua such advice, but it is a good suggestion.
, Older people drink some alcohol. As long as they are not excessive, a moderate amount of alcohol intake can promote metabolism and activate blood vessels, which is definitely good for the body.
After hearing that Xie Enhua said that Ling Mingrui was not coming back for dinner and had official duties, Ling Ruonan didn't ask any questions and signaled Luo Ziling to wash her hands and prepare for dinner. She and Xie Enhua went to prepare the tableware together. Without Ling Mingrui, the atmosphere during the meal was obviously relaxed.
It's also more tender.
Xie Enhua and Ling Ruonan pick up vegetables for Luo Ziling from time to time, and his bowl is almost never empty.
Looking at the small mountain of vegetables, Luo Ziling reluctantly joked: "Grandma, Mom, you can't starve your stomach and let me burst my stomach? After a while, the lobster swam out of my throat."
I don’t know if it was Ling Ruonan who said it or for other reasons. There was a lot of seafood in today’s dinner, which suited Luo Ziling’s taste. Moreover, the two women put the most beautiful and fresh seafood into his bowl. Luo Ziling felt that two-thirds of it was
The food fell into his stomach. It felt really good to be cared for, and Luo Ziling felt warm in his heart.
"Aren't you still growing? You just need to eat more." After Xie Enhua put the last piece of lobster meat into Luo Ziling's bowl, he urged him to eat quickly, "Eat all of this, don't leave any leftover, I and you
Mom is full. After dinner, the three of us will have a chat first. Grandma wants to tell you something."
After hearing what Xie Enhua said, Luo Ziling immediately ate all the food in the bowl very quickly.
After dinner, Ling Ruonan helped Xie Enhua clear the dishes, but she didn't let Luo Ziling come to help and asked him to sit aside and eat fruit.
I don't know what Ling Ruonan said to Xie Enhua when she was clearing the dishes. When the two of them finished cleaning up and walked to the sofa to sit down, Xie Enhua's expression turned slightly worse.
"Ling'er, did you beat Lin Jiaming today?" After sitting next to Luo Ziling, Xie Enhua asked in a low voice: "Did you hurt anyone?"
"I slapped him twice and kicked him against the wall," Luo Ziling replied honestly: "Who told him to call me a bastard in front of my mother?"
"Alas," Xie Enhua sighed heavily, "it seems like things are getting more and more troublesome."
"Mom, it's all my fault," Ling Ruonan leaned close to Xie Enhua, holding her mother's arm, and seriously admitted her mistake, "Don't worry, I have already thought about how to tell my father. Dad, I will tell you later."
Come back and I will explain this matter to him personally."
Xie Enhua didn't know how to answer Ling Ruonan's words. At this time, Luo Ziling spoke: "Grandma, I just don't want to see them bullying my mother. I have grown up and my father is not around. I have to take the responsibility of keeping my mother."
Responsibility. No matter who bullies my mother, I will never let them go."
"Nan Nan, I want to hear how you are going to tell your dad about this matter. I think you both mother and son understand that your dad is not willing to let you continue to control the Northern Group. He is also afraid that you will turn the Northern Group into your own private territory.
, get out of the control of the Ling family."
Ling Ruonan didn't expect her mother to ask this question directly, so she was a little surprised, but she didn't refuse to answer. After hesitating for a moment, she replied: "Mom, I just can't stand other people plotting against me. I'm not short of money, and I don't want to think about it."
By turning the Northern Group into his own private property. Ling'er said that he hopes to achieve success through his own efforts and does not want to rest on the achievements of his predecessors and enjoy the success. Therefore, I have never thought about competing with the Ling family for control of the Northern Group.
But the Northern Group has grown and developed through my hands. If I were to be kicked out of the Northern Group due to some disputes over interests, I would not agree. This time, what Lin Jiaming and Ling Haining did was too despicable.
, let them get the lesson they deserve, that’s what they should do. So, when Ling’er took action to teach them a lesson, I didn’t stop him.”
Ling Ruonan said this, and Xie Enhua didn't know how to answer.
