Chapter 677: Chapter 677: The Show is About to Start
(Chapter 13)
“Cousin, hello,” Luo Ziling took the initiative to greet Ling Haining and extended his hand, “I’m very pleased to meet you here.”
Seeing Luo Ziling’s brilliant smile, Ling Haining felt even more uncomfortable, but in front of Ling Ruonan, he didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction. Eventually, he braced himself and extended his hand to Luo Ziling: “I thought it was someone barging into my aunt’s office; turns out it’s my cousin.”
“Ling’er, you’re here,” Ling Ruonan got up from her seat, walked towards Luo Ziling with a smile covering her face, “Are you done with your business?”
“Done,” Luo Ziling nodded, showing Ling Ruonan a brilliant smile, “It’s my first time visiting mom’s office. Your office is really luxurious and imposing.”
“When you’re free, feel free to visit more often,” Ling Ruonan pulled Luo Ziling to sit down on the couch and then asked, “What tea would you like to drink?”
...
“Anything is fine,” Luo Ziling obediently sat down, “Any tea will do.”
After Ling Ruonan and her son Luo Ziling met, they talked among themselves, not paying much attention to Ling Haining, who couldn’t help but feel annoyed, but he still knew to tactfully stand up, ready to take his leave.
“No rush,” Ling Ruonan turned to Ling Haining, “We weren’t finished talking about our earlier topic. Let’s continue.”
As she spoke, Ling Ruonan personally brewed tea for Luo Ziling, then ordered Wuyue: “Tell Lin Jiaming to come to my office.”
“Yes, Miss,” Wuyue immediately went out and called to notify Lin Jiaming.
Hearing Ling Ruonan instruct Wuyue to notify Lin Jiaming to come to the office, Ling Haining’s heart sank.
“It’s really unexpected that cousin Ziling would come to the Northern Group headquarters today,” Ling Haining couldn’t help but take the initiative to ask as he watched Ling Ruonan make a cup of tea for Luo Ziling, who leisurely sipped his tea: “Cousin Ziling, don’t you have school today? And, dressed like this, are you worried about being recognized?”
“I came here for something very important,” Luo Ziling said solemnly, “My mom said there are many female employees in the company, and since I am quite handsome, my appearance might cause a huge commotion and stir up romantic feelings, distracting them from their work. So, I covered up my face to avoid causing trouble for my mom. Cousin, you’re not as handsome as me, so there’s no need to worry about that.”
Luo Ziling’s shameless demeanor almost made Ling Haining vomit out his meal from the previous night; he had never seen anyone with thicker skin than Luo Ziling. Thus, he couldn’t help but retort with sarcasm: “Cousin Ziling is indeed very handsome, no wonder there are so many beauties swirling around you, it really makes people envious and jealous.”

“It’s normal for you to think that way,” Luo Ziling didn’t react to Ling Haining’s sarcasm at all, and seriously nodded, “Because I’m handsome and personable, and I’m talented in both martial arts and medicine, everyone likes me, and the beauties willingly get close. Although you are somewhat handsome too, you’re not as handsome as I am, and in all other aspects, you don’t match up to me, which is why you don’t have as many beauties around you as I do.”
Ling Ruonan, who was about to sip her tea while seated back in her chair, almost burst into laughter at her son’s shameless words. She forcibly suppressed the urge to laugh, slowly sipping her tea, and gained a new understanding of her precious son—in terms of shamelessness, he was leagues ahead of his father. If Luo Xusheng had been as “shameless” and “thick-skinned” as Luo Ziling back in the day, things definitely wouldn’t have turned out the way they did.
Of course, Ling Haining couldn’t have anticipated Luo Ziling to be so brazen, completely ignoring his sarcasm and even using it as an opportunity to boast about himself while belittling him. He wanted to strike back, but upon seeing Ling Ruonan sitting there, he eventually gave up.
“Aunt, I won’t disturb you and your son any further. I’ll go take care of some things first and come back later to discuss matters with you. I’ll find time to chat with cousin Ziling later on,” Ling Haining said as he stood up, preparing to leave.
“Cousin Haining, you are at least a host, and here I am a guest. You rush to leave without hosting me properly, which is somewhat unreasonable,” Luo Ziling laughed as he stood up, “I have some important matters I want to discuss with you, and I think, cousin, you’ll definitely be interested.”
“It’s working hours now, I’m neither interested nor do I have the time to listen to your personal affairs,” Ling Haining declined very straightforwardly before looking at Ling Ruonan, “Auntie, isn’t that so?”
Before Ling Ruonan could speak, Luo Ziling preempted her response to Ling Haining, “Today, I’m here to discuss a matter regarding an email with my cousin Haining and my uncle Lin Jiaming.”
Luo Ziling’s words caused Ling Haining’s face to change instantly, but before he could say anything, Luo Ziling added, “I suppose my uncle Lin Jiaming will be arriving shortly, why don’t you wait a few more minutes, cousin?”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Ling Haining glared at Luo Ziling in anger, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I have other things to attend to, so I’m going to get back to work.”
With that, he made to leave.
But at that moment, a person walked in from outside—it was Lin Jiaming, the son of Ling Ruonan’s aunt, Ling Minglan.
Upon seeing Ling Haining and Luo Ziling standing in Ling Ruonan’s office, Lin Jiaming couldn’t help but be taken aback, stopping in his tracks.
Wuyue, who had led Lin Jiaming in, didn’t enter the office but gently closed the door behind him instead.
“Uncle, hello,” Luo Ziling greeted Lin Jiaming with a smile, “I remember, the last time we met was at Great Grandfather’s birthday party—I don’t think I’ve ever hit you before.”
Luo Ziling’s seemingly casual remark nearly made Lin Jiaming spit blood in anger.
This bastard, how dare he say such a thing in public.
What does he mean by ‘he didn’t hit him that day’?
Listening to this bastard’s tone, was he implying that the reason Lin Jiaming didn’t get hit that day was owing to his mercy?
However, upon hearing this, Ling Haining’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat; he took it to mean something else entirely—that today Luo Ziling was gearing up to give them both a beating.
“Uncle, cousin, next I would like you to watch a video and review some materials,” Luo Ziling said, and without waiting for their consent, pulled out a mini-projector from his pocket and started projecting the video onto the wall.
As the video began to play, he went over to draw the curtains and turned off a few lights.
In the video, there were appearances of Lin Jiaming and Ling Haining, but with no audio.
After playing a few clips, Luo Ziling deliberately held back the most critical segment of the video, along with some materials. He then asked Lin Jiaming and Ling Haining, who were visibly pale, “Uncle, cousin, I believe you understand my point by now, right? There’s more key material I have yet to show you. My question is, for such shameless acts that you have committed, how should you be punished appropriately?”
At the words of Luo Ziling, Lin Jiaming and Ling Haining’s faces changed color yet again.
