Chapter 777: Chapter 777 Vastly Different Treatment
Luo Liansheng and Ling Mingrui were at odds, and Ling Ruonan, stuck in the middle, suffered the most.
In front of Luo Liansheng, Ling Ruonan always considered herself as a daughter-in-law, addressing him as “Dad” every time they met.
Yet, she was also Ling Mingrui’s daughter, and filial piety was the most important aspect to her, so she had never thought about breaking ties with her own parents.
Even if Ling Mingrui did too much on many occasions, as a daughter, she ultimately just endured in silence.
Confronting Ling Mingrui to his face, as she did today, seldom happened.
What she hadn’t anticipated was being driven out by her own father today, which left her heartbroken.
And when she was with Luo Liansheng, Luo Liansheng openly criticized Ling Mingrui to his face, making her feel even more uncomfortable.
She wanted to defend her father, but she didn’t know what to say.
Luo Liansheng seemed to understand Ling Ruonan’s thoughts, and spoke to her with profound meaning, “Ruonan, I know you’re suffering the most right now, but the primary responsibility for your twenty years of separation lies with your father. Back then, I understood his difficulties and didn’t hold it against him. I also thought that as time passed, he would regret it and change. I never imagined that he would also plan to take back the Northern Group that you built with your own hands, and arrange for several people to be by your side, trying to usurp your power. To tell you the truth, we Luo Family don’t care about the billions in market value of the Northern Group. Ziling and I are the same; we have no concept of money. If we valued money, with our prescriptions and medical skills, we could be as rich as Gu Jian’an. What angers me is that he would actually scheme against his own daughter. He betrayed his daughter twenty years ago, and now, twenty years later, he’s still plotting against his own daughter.”
Luo Liansheng said to Ling Ruonan with a seriousness rarely seen in Ziling, “If your grandfather hadn’t been saved by Ling’er’s miraculous treatment, he might already be struggling on the brink of death right now. Your father hasn’t been poisoned, but he has a chronic illness that needs timely treatment for better recovery. Ling’er’s claim that he had been poisoned was just a method. Regardless, our Luo Family has once again helped the Ling Family greatly. That year, it was also my miraculous needles that pulled your grandfather back from the brink of death. It’s only natural to repay a life-saving favor with immense gratitude.”
“While curing others, we don’t think about getting something in return, but when patients give us something in return, we take it as recognition and gratitude. Our Luo Family, for two generations, has twice saved your grandfather’s life and treated your father’s stubborn illness. Yet, not only do they not proactively repay the kindness, but they also treat us with such an attitude. I do feel very chilly at heart!” Luo Liansheng sighed as he said this.
“Dad, grandfather and my father are just considering issues from the Ling Family’s interest, that’s why they did this, don’t take it to heart too much,” Ling Ruonan tried to speak a few words in defense of her father and grandfather, but ultimately she did not continue.
“Your twenty years of steadfast affection have moved this old man, but they have not moved your father or your grandfather. It can only be said that they have hearts of stone. I do not agree with their hearts of stone, that’s why I look down on them. Since I look down on them, then I won’t respect them either. Do they really think they are so noble, treating us like mere commoners?” Luo Liansheng was somewhat agitated.
Ziling was seldom surprised to see his grandfather speak so excitedly and continue to speak so much at once, which surprised him inside.
But since Luo Liansheng was speaking to Ling Ruonan in a tone of an elder, he didn’t think it was his place to interrupt, so he just bowed his head and drank tea.
Right then, the waiter served the food, and Luo Liansheng didn’t say anything else.
As Ziling called everyone to enjoy the dishes while they were hot, Luo Liansheng spoke a few more words, “I still believe that our Luo Family has done nothing wrong, not in the past, and not now. In the past, I endured because Ziling was too young and I feared he would suffer more harm. In the future, I will no longer endure. At this age, if I don’t get tough one more time, there will be no chance later.”
Luo Liansheng’s words deeply touched Ziling, and Ling Ruonan also widened her eyes in surprise.
However, Luo Liansheng didn’t say anything more and began to focus on his meal.
After the meal, Luo Liansheng planned to take Ziling to meet Ouyang Lingyun. After thinking it over, Ling Ruonan decided to go with them.
While they were eating, Feifei called Ziling to ask where he was and when he would come to pick him and Luo Liansheng up.
As Feifei wanted to join them, Ziling declined her offer to pick them up, saying they would go over by themselves later.
After confirming that Ling Ruonan was also preparing to go to the Ouyang Family’s villa with them, Feifei did not insist any further.
Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling still rode in Ling Ruonan’s car.
But on the way, the three of them didn’t discuss anything related to the grievances between the Ling and Luo families.
Luo Ziling asked what Luo Liansheng had been up to lately, and Luo Liansheng told Luo Ziling that he had already been preparing to return to Yanjing.
Ling Ruonan was surprised by Luo Liansheng’s words, but her worry grew even more.
She knew, judging by Luo Liansheng’s attitude today, that the old man was harboring a belly full of anger to bring back to Yanjing.
Luo Liansheng was competitive and unyielding in his youth, and his personality hadn’t changed much with age.
Now, with many troublesome matters at hand, if Luo Liansheng were to clash with the Yang and Ling families upon his return, things would become even more complicated.
However, Ling Ruonan quickly thought of one thing, that if Luo Liansheng returned to Yanjing with high status, Luo Xusheng would definitely come back as well.
Whether or not Luo Xusheng could return to Yanjing was what Ling Ruonan was most concerned about at the moment.
Luo Ziling’s return had been her greatest concern, but now that he had returned, naturally, she was concerned about Luo Xusheng’s whereabouts.
If Luo Liansheng came back and Luo Xusheng could return as well, that would be great—at least, she would have a man she could rely on with peace of mind.
Amidst Ling Ruonan’s contemplations, the car convoy arrived at the Ouyang Family’s villa.
To Ling Ruonan’s surprise, Ouyang Lingyun was actually standing on the steps waiting for them.
Behind him stood many people from the Ouyang Family, some of whom Ling Ruonan recognized.
Ouyang Lingyun’s eldest son, the father of the Ouyang Feifei sisters and the future head of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Zhenhua, Ouyang Lingyun’s second son Ouyang Zhengang, and the Ouyang Feifei sisters all stood behind Ouyang Lingyun.
All of them had come to the entrance, a sea of people that made the welcome ceremony appear very grand.
With Ouyang Lingyun welcoming Luo Liansheng in such a manner, and thinking of her own father, Ling Ruonan couldn’t help but feel guilty.

As Ling Ruonan’s Audi A8 came to a stop, Ouyang Zhenhua immediately stepped forward to open the car door for Luo Liansheng.
“Old Mr. Luo, you’ve arrived, my father has been waiting for a long time,” Ouyang Zhenhua said with utmost respect, inviting Luo Liansheng out of the car.
Luo Liansheng didn’t bother with formalities, simply nodded to Ouyang Zhenhua and then stepped out of the car.
Luo Ziling, who got out from the other car door, felt suddenly moved at this scene.
This was the first time he had encountered such a reception.
The Ouyang Family was treating them, grandfather and grandson, as the most honored guests.
