Chapter 773: Chapter 773: Old Ling, I’ve Come to Settle Accounts with You Today
Luo Liansheng was taken aback when Luo Ziling asked him this question and replied in puzzlement, “What’s all this about?”
It hadn’t occurred to Luo Ziling that his grandfather would react this way.
He quickly realized that his grandfather knew nothing about this matter.
Therefore, he could only respond with a smile, “I met a girl named Luo Yuqing who looks a bit like me. Moreover, her biological father is not around either. I almost thought she was my sister, so I wanted to ask Grandfather today if Dad has such a daughter.”
“He shouldn’t have,” Luo Liansheng said, shaking his head firmly, “at least I don’t know about it. Why not ask your mother?”
“Okay,” Luo Ziling could only agree mechanically, and then added somewhat awkwardly, “Grandfather, it’s getting late, you should go to sleep.”
“You should go to bed early too,” Luo Liansheng smiled, “Tomorrow I’ll go with you to see Old Mr. Ling. I haven’t seen him for many years and I hope he hasn’t aged to the point where I can’t recognize him.”
“Okay,” Luo Ziling happily agreed, “I was planning to treat Great Grandfather and Grandpa Ling’s medical conditions tomorrow, so Grandfather, you should come with me!”
“I’ll go with you to see Old Mr. Ling, but I won’t visit your grandfather,” Luo Liansheng chuckled, “Just tell him I’ve come back to Yanjing again.”
Luo Ziling thought for a moment and understood what Luo Liansheng meant.
For Luo Liansheng, Ling Jinhua was his elder, so it was perfectly natural and right for him to visit Ling Jinhua.
Ling Mingrui, on the other hand, was of the same generation as Luo Liansheng.
As a guest, it made sense for Luo Liansheng to visit Ling Mingrui, but it was also normal for him to hold back and wait for Ling Mingrui to take the initiative to visit or invite him over as a guest.
Luo Ziling knew that his grandfather had a proud nature and treated everyone without subservience. It was not odd for him to act superior in front of someone with the stature of Ling Mingrui.
And he had the capital to act superior.
After an uneventful night, the next day Luo Ziling asked Counselor He Yongping for leave, saying he needed to treat a few special patients and might be unavailable for classes today and tomorrow. He Yongping readily approved Luo Ziling’s leave and told him that if a teacher marked him absent during the roll call, he would explain the situation at the dean’s office.
Ling Ruonan got up early to make breakfast for the grandfather and grandson, knowing they would definitely rise early.
Indeed, when she got up, she saw Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling already practicing in the courtyard.
All of Luo Ziling’s martial arts skills came from Luo Liansheng, and most of what he knew originated from his grandfather. That’s why he never dared to be careless while sparring with Luo Liansheng.
When Luo Liansheng sparred with Luo Ziling, he never pulled his punches. He often left Luo Ziling with a bruised face and sometimes unable to get out of bed.

It was precisely because Luo Liansheng didn’t hold back that Luo Ziling acquired martial arts skills that were breathtaking.
“To learn to hit, you must first learn to take a hit,” Luo Liansheng repeatedly reminded Luo Ziling during his martial arts training.
Eventually, Luo Ziling didn’t get hit as often, and as Luo Liansheng got older, sometimes he could even counter the old man.
Although Luo Liansheng had more experience, he was older and his mobility couldn’t match that of the youthful Luo Ziling, so their spars often ended in a draw.
After arriving in Yanjing, Luo Ziling learned a lot of moves from sparring with Lin Lan, Phoenix, Falcon, Mountain Eagle, Yang Xiaodong, and Wang Zhenjun, and his skills had improved significantly since he left the small mountain village. After practicing together for a while, Luo Ziling gradually gained the upper hand.
Ling Ruonan, who had prepared breakfast, watched from the side for a while and felt that Old Mr. Luo was at a disadvantage, so she immediately called them to eat. Luo Ziling took the opportunity to stop, and Luo Liansheng did the same.
“Not bad, you’ve made quite some progress,” Luo Liansheng said to Luo Ziling, slightly out of breath, “You haven’t neglected your martial arts in the past few months since coming to Yanjing, and you have improved greatly. Grandpa is very comforted.”
“Grandpa, to have such skills at your age truly deserves admiration,” Luo Ziling said with a smile as they walked toward the dining room, “To be honest, I did not realize how good I was until I fought some people after I arrived in Yanjing. Hehe, Grandpa, you are even more incredible. I can’t imagine how formidable you must have been when you were young.”
“When Grandpa was young, my skills were not as good as yours are now,” Luo Liansheng said with a sigh, “As I’ve aged, I’ve become more experienced, but the flexibility has decreased. I can’t even beat you now, I’m getting old.”
“How could Grandpa be old? You don’t look old at all, still youthful!”
Seeing the old and the young happily walking over, Ling Ruonan was also very happy, smiling as she welcomed them into the house and joined them for breakfast.
Today was a workday, but Ling Ruonan had no intention of going to the office; she planned to accompany Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng to the Ling Family Old Mansion.
After breakfast, the three of them took a car together to the old mansion.
It was still Ling Ruonan’s Audi A8, with Luo Ziling in the passenger seat and Ling Ruonan and Luo Liansheng in the backseat.
Although Luo Ziling had questioned Luo Liansheng about Luo Yuqing the night before, he did not plan to bring up the matter with Ling Ruonan.
He was certain that he was Ling Ruonan’s only son, and even if Luo Ziling was his sister, she certainly wasn’t Ling Ruonan’s daughter.
If Luo Yuqing really was his half-sister with the same father, it would be too awkward to ask Ling Ruonan about it.
Besides, such a question could destroy many things, including the love between his parents that had been maintained over long distances for twenty years.
Anyway, Luo Xusheng was supposed to come to Yanjing, so he’d ask him privately when he saw him.
“If Luo Yuqing really is my sister, what would the situation be like?” This was what Luo Ziling pondered on the way to the Ling Family Old Mansion.
When the car arrived at the old mansion, Huang Chen, who had been notified by a call from Ling Ruonan, was already waiting to welcome them in the courtyard.
Upon seeing Luo Liansheng, Huang Chen was taken aback for a moment but quickly recognized him as Luo Ziling’s grandfather and hurriedly went to greet him, warmly ushering him inside.
But Luo Liansheng did not need Huang Chen’s formalities and directly requested to see Ling Jinhua.
Huang Chen was slightly troubled but, upon receiving a glance from Ling Ruonan, did not refuse and led the three to Ling Jinhua’s room.
Ling Ruonan had not informed Huang Chen or Ling Jinhua that Luo Liansheng would be visiting the old house, so Ling Jinhua was quite surprised to see Luo Liansheng appear before him.
“Old pal, it’s finally nice to see you,” Ling Jinhua was only momentarily startled before he greeted Luo Liansheng, “Just the other day, I told the Luo kid to bring you over when you visited Yanjing, to have a drink with me. I didn’t expect you to come today. Huang Chen, order the kitchen to prepare a few extra dishes for lunch. They’ll eat here.”
“Yes, sir,” Huang Chen responded and immediately went to take care of it.
After Huang Chen left the room and with everyone silent, Luo Liansheng plonked himself down in front of Ling Jinhua’s bed and said something that shocked both Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan, “Old Ling, I’ve come here today to settle accounts with you!”
