In the past twenty years, Ling Ruonan had experienced all kinds of ups and downs. She would never allow her son to follow in her footsteps when it came to relationships.
Therefore, when she found out that Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin were dating, she was shocked.
She was strongly against arranged marriages and was an advocate for free love, so she naturally strongly opposed the engagement between Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei and eventually forced Luo Liansheng to agree to the annulment of the engagement. At the same time, she also didn’t want to see her
son fall in love with the Yang family.
Because she knew that no matter how good the relationship between Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin was, the two of them would eventually be separated.
They would never be together.
Ling Ruonan knew Yang Qingyin, and was even more aware of how outstanding the Little Princess of the Yang family was.
Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei were known as the “Twin Beauties of Yenching”, and many people now thought of them as the “Number one beauties of Yenching”. Her personality was also one that Ling Ruonan admired.
In her eyes, Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei were two different types of women.
Yang Qingyin was classical, graceful, and intelligent. Ouyang Feifei was arrogant, scheming, and the type of person who could achieve great things.
Ling Ruonan was more inclined to Yang Qingyin, who was outstanding in all aspects and did not show many scheming tendencies. She was unlike Ouyang Feifei, who had already achieved great things, and was a woman with outstanding ability and scheming,
She was afraid that her son would not be able to properly gauge his future wife’s personality. She did not want Luo Ziling to get hurt or be the victim of a woman’s nefarious scheming.
She knew that her son did not have much contact with society and did not yet know the wickedness of the human heart. He would suffer greatly if he competed with others in utter depravity.
If Yang Qingyin was not the little princess of the Yang family but a girl from an ordinary family, as long as Luo Ziling liked her, she would unconditionally support their relationship. But now, she felt that the only thing she could do was to break up the couple, as cruel as it was.
Rather than letting them know that they would be forced to separate after they were deeply in love and suffer a lot, it would be better for everything to end when it had just begun.
Although she still did not regret her choices back then, she also knew that if she did not continue to date Luo Xusheng when she first met him, then this man would have left behind an incomparably beautiful image in her memories. She would have married someone else, even Yang Yunfeng, and she
wouldn’t have suffered as much. There would not have been a family of three separated by Heaven and earth and they wouldn’t have been unable to see each other for the part 20 years.
The mental suffering that she had endured for the past twenty years could not be described with words.
Every time she thought about how Luo Ziling, who had only been with her for three months, was forced to leave her side and was taken away by the old and tearful Luo Liansheng, she could not help but cry.
She would never forget the scene when Luo Liansheng took the swaddled Luo Ziling from her hands with reddened eyes after she had fed him enough milk. When she left the Ling family courtyard, she’d hugged her mother and cried her heart out.
If it weren’t for her mother hugging her tightly, she would have collapsed.
A few months later, she slowly climbed back out of her sorrow under her mother’s companionship and comfort.
But she did not give up; she vowed to make all the changes necessary to reunite the family of three through her own efforts.
From then on, she devoted herself to managing the assets for the family, and finally proved her ability. She was appreciated by her grandfather and father, and now she was the first woman in the family to hold financial power.
She also completely closed off her own feelings, and no longer had any romantic entanglements with other men.
At first, the family had planned to let her marry someone else, but she had mercilessly rejected them.
After a few times, no one brought up this matter again, and she got used to living alone.
‘There were already two men in her heart, one big and one small. She could no longer accommodate other people and would not allow others to enter her heart.
She was working hard for the final reunion of her family of three so that they could finally live together. This was her only belief in life.
She knew that only when she had control of power and the vital points of the family would she have the right to speak. Only then would the people around her not dare to brush her off, and only then would those who were hostile to her not dare to oppose her.
Her experience had proven her thoughts correct. As her abilities further improved, her position in the family had become higher and higher until finally, she took control of the aircraft carrier-class northern group. Now, her status was even higher than the head of a province. No one dared to look down
on her.
Her words carried a lot of weight in the family, even surpassing some of the elders.
‘When Luo Ziling reached the age of university, she finally used her own hard work to bring her son out of the small village in the northwest and into Yenching University.
Her family also tacitly approved of her move, especially the old master Ling Jinhua, her father, and the current head of the family, Ling Mingrui. They did not express any objection to this matter.
This was a huge success for Ling Ruonan, and she felt that everything would be achieved very soon.
However, she also knew that if she wanted the two men to return to Yenching and reunite her family, she had to put even more effort.
It was necessary to be patient. Her grandfather and father were right to remind her.
However, Ling Ruonan also knew that Luo Ziling, who had just arrived in Yenching, could not take the wrong step, or great trouble would follow.
‘What kind of man would not want to be ina relationship with Yang Qingyin?
Ling Ruonan felt extremely pained in her heart.
Of course, she knew how excellent her son was.
Needless to say, just from inheriting both her and Luo Xusheng’s genes, Luo Ziling would only be more beautiful than them in terms of appearance. She also knew that grandfather Luo had imparted all his knowledge to her son.
Ling Ruonan was well aware that Luo Liansheng was an omnipotent genius. He had a huge amount of knowledge at his disposal, and Luo Ziling had received his true teachings, so it was impossible for him to be inferior in terms of talent.
Not only that, Luo Liansheng was very arrogant. He would never give face to anyone, and all the wealthy families in Yenching treated him as a distinguished guest.
How could someone who was personally taught by such a figure be inferior in any aspect?
Ling Ruonan also knew that if it were not for Luo Liansheng’s reputation, even if she’d threatened her own death, it would not change the fate of Luo Xusheng and Luo Ziling.
The most talented man in the Yang family had died because of Luo Xusheng, At that time, the influence of the Yang family was no less than that of the Ling family, and they had been determined to take Luo Xusheng’s life.
Luo Ziling’s excellence was Ling Ruonan’s greatest pride. Moreover, she also knew that just like his father, his slightly shy smile would be able to devastate most women.
At that time, it was because of Luo Xusheng’s slightly shy and pure smile that she’d fallen in love with him.
She believed that Yang Qingyin, who had never shown interest in any man, would go on a trip with Luo Ziling because of that smile.
Of course, she also suspected that this was a trap set by the Yang family. It was possible that they wanted to use Yang Qingyin to completely destroy Luo Ziling.
Regardless of the reason, Ling Ruonan knew that she had to stop him from dating Yang Qingyin, even if they were just friends.
However, she couldn’t figure out how to do so without hurting Luo Ziling.
She was conflicted..
