Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Stay Away from Beautiful Women Who Intentionally Get Close to You Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Stay Away from Beautiful Women Who Intentionally Get Close to You “What’s going on?” Luo Ziling was a bit surprised.

Could there still be someone daring to start trouble?

“In the evening, Luo Yuqing came looking for me,” Wuyue glanced at Luo Ziling but didn’t clarify what happened, only added, “Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

“She came looking for you?” Luo Ziling appeared very astonished.

What did Luo Yuqing want with Wuyue?

“She wants to be involved in the bar management and also wants to affiliate one of her bars, along with several other entertainment venues, under your name.” When Luo Ziling inquired further, Wuyue felt embarrassed not to answer.

“She has already talked to me about this.” It turned out to be just this matter, and Luo Ziling breathed a sigh of relief.

But Wuyue didn’t see it as that simple.

Because she knew how much Ling Ruonan detested Wu Ningjing, she wasn’t willing to accept Luo Yuqing–even though Luo Yuqing was the daughter of Luo Xusheng.

In reality, Wuyue didn’t like Luo Yuqing either.

This dislike wasn’t due to hating Luo Yuqing’s personality but because of Luo Yuqing’s awkward identity.

In Wuyue’s eyes, Ling Ruonan’s husband was Luo Xusheng, and they only had one son, Luo Ziling. Luo Yuqing, as a woman who suddenly appeared and might likely be Luo Xusheng’s illegitimate daughter, triggered a natural repulsion in her.

Unconsciously, Wuyue came to regard Ling Ruonan as her closest person, even developing a motherly attachment to Ling Ruonan.

When Luo Ziling first came to Yanjing, she had felt a bit of resistance towards him too.

Because she felt that Ling Ruonan’s care for her diminished a lot after Luo Ziling’s arrival.

However, the theory of opposite-sex attraction still held true. Luo Ziling was quite adorable and interesting, and gradually, her feelings of resistance faded.

But towards Luo Yuqing, someone of the same sex and moreover, a woman who was so beautiful, she naturally resisted, unwilling to accept and further repelled as things became more certain. As a result, when Luo Yuqing came looking for her, she did not treat her warmly but was reluctant to engage much with Luo Yuqing.

Fortunately, Wuyue always seemed this way, and even Luo Yuqing, who didn’t interact with Ling Ruonan much, knew her personality, so she didn’t mind.

After Wuyue explained the situation, she secretly observed Luo Ziling’s expression. Seeing a bright smile on Luo Ziling’s face when she mentioned Luo Yuqing, Wuyue couldn’t help feeling a bit gloomy.

The car soon arrived at Ling Ruonan’s villa.

Along the way, aside from the initial conversation with Luo Ziling, Wuyue remained silent.

Luo Ziling didn’t mind.

As Luo Ziling entered the villa, Ling Ruonan was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

Luo Ziling had a clear view of the book cover that Ling Ruonan held when he sat down beside her.

“Mom, are you actually reading ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’?” Luo Ziling seemed very surprised, “You read classics too?”

“I even researched Hongxue before!” Ling Ruonan smiled and put the hardcover edition of ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ aside.

Luo Ziling said to Ling Ruonan with a smile, “Grandpa also has this book. I’ve read it several times, over and over. I didn’t understand it before, but these past few years I’ve been able to grasp it. Every time I read it, it feels different, and I perceive different things.”

Ling Ruonan also smiled, “It’s because your mind and experiences are changing. The way you perceive a book in your teens is definitely different from how you perceive it in your thirties or forties. Just like a poem written by a poet, it feels different when read at different times, by people of different ages, or of different genders.”

“Yeah, I think so too,” Luo Ziling nodded, “What’s funny is, now in high school and even college Chinese exams, whether it’s poetry or other reading comprehension, there’s always only one correct answer. They give you a poem or a few lines and ask you to write about the poet’s mood or the meaning, and you must match the standard answer, otherwise it’s considered wrong. I really don’t understand, can the people who set these questions travel back in time and ask the author?”

Ling Ruonan was somewhat surprised that Luo Ziling felt so strongly about this, “You sound as if you’ve been seriously affected by today’s education system.”

“I didn’t feel it before, but now I have,” Luo Ziling said helplessly, shaking his head, “Mom, you have to know, we even have Chinese literature courses in college. I saw a joke just a few days ago. A Chinese fill-in-the-blank question asked who was the smartest person during the Three Kingdoms period. I wondered, is there really a smartest person in the world? The intelligence of the person who wrote the question must be staggeringly low. And the given answer was Zhuge Liang, but you couldn’t answer Zhuge Kongming or Kongming, Xu Shu, Cao Cao, Lu Su, Zhou Yu, they’d all just mark you wrong. Who are they kidding? Who’s IQ are they trying to insult?”

Ling Ruonan laughed joyfully, “Why this sudden insight?”

“Actually, I just want to say that, whether it’s an exam or real life, when you’re given a question, there isn’t necessarily only one correct answer. Looking at something at different times, under different moods, the answer will also be different.” Luo Ziling spoke quite earnestly.

“And your conclusion?”

“The conclusion is: I went to the Yang Family Old House again today, and after interacting with Old Sir Yang, I found that he holds much less resentment towards me. I think, maybe I could change the hostile state between our two families. If this was an exam, there’s no need to set a standard answer that the two families must always hate each other. Many in the Yang Family want to maintain the hostility, but there are already many who don’t think so. If the head of the Yang Family doesn’t use hatred as the standard to judge the interactions between our families, then this exam’s answer can be very diverse.”

After hearing Luo Ziling’s argument, Ling Ruonan was a bit stunned, then teasingly said, “Could it be that you want to come up with an answer that will marry the two families together? Right?”

“Heh heh,” Luo Ziling didn’t deny it, “Actually, I hate standard answers. I think, whether it’s taking exams or living life, there’s no need to force too much. Letting things take their natural course, maybe we’ll find the best answer. And the best answer isn’t necessarily the standard answer, the standard answer isn’t necessarily the best, right?”

“Why do I feel like you’ve been provoked?” Ling Ruonan laughed happily, “Did Old Sir Yang give you a scolding?”

“No,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “If anyone could provoke me, that would definitely be my old man.”

“What happened?” Ling Ruonan frowned, “What did he do to you?”

“Anyway, I think he lacks EQ. You should educate him more in the future.”

“…”

Luo Ziling ignored Ling Ruonan’s stunned look and changed the subject, “Mom, there’s a Traditional Chinese Medicine vs. Western Medicine conference tomorrow, I plan to go with Dean Wu Mingyun. These next few days, I might not have time to visit the old house, nor will I have time to come and report to you.”

“That’s also a good thing, go then,” Ling Ruonan did not object, but warned, “Act low-key, and don’t stir up any trouble. And one more thing I want to remind you of, try to stay away from beautiful women who approach you proactively. You’re handsome, and now your identity is public, many people have their eyes on you, so you should be a bit cautious.”

“Mom, I’ll certainly remember your teachings,” Luo Ziling answered with a giggle.

Neither of them expected that Ling Ruonan’s somewhat joking instruction would allow Luo Ziling to avoid a series of misfortunes.
