Chapter 048: The Events of That Year
After Luo Ziling got out of the car, Ouyang Feifei didn't leave immediately. She had someone call Ouyang Huihui over.
A few minutes later, Ouyang Huihui, with a sullen face, sat in the car.
"Sis, let me go in by myself, it's only a few hundred meters away," Ouyang Huihui, sitting beside Ouyang Feifei, whispered.
"No rush," Ouyang Feifei looked at her sister coldly, without a trace of emotion, "Repeat the entire sequence of events that happened today."
Ouyang Huihui didn't dare hide anything and narrated everything that happened today, including how that guy took advantage of her while they were playing a prank on Luo Ziling; at the end, she pitifully added, "Sis, he did it on purpose just to take advantage of me, which made me so angry."
Ouyang Feifei's face was as cold as ice, "Have you ever thought about the consequences for our Ouyang Family if he had an accident today?"
Ouyang Huihui stammered in defense, "Sis, I never expected things to go that far. Li Dongjun, that idiot, actually fired a gun."
"If he had been killed by Li Dongjun's bodyguard, not only Li Dongjun and his bodyguards would die, our Ouyang Family would be finished as well."
Ouyang Feifei's words made Ouyang Huihui jump with fright, wanting to say something but not daring to.
"I might as well fill you in on a few things!
"What things?" Ouyang Huihui asked with curiosity beaming in her face.
"The origins of Luo Ziling!"
Ouyang Huihui suddenly became excited, grabbing Ouyang Feifei's hand and cooing, "Sis, tell me quickly, what exactly is the background of this stinker?"
"Twenty years ago, something happened in Yanjing that shocked all the prestigious families," began Ouyang Feifei. "At that time, Yanjing's Number One Beauty, Ling Ruonan, was betrothed to Yang Yunfeng of the Yang Family, and they were about to get engaged soon."
"That winter, Old Mr. Ling became grievously ill and was close to death. A renowned doctor named Luo Liansheng brought him back from the brink of death at Ghost Gate Pass. When he came to treat Old Mr. Ling, he brought along his son, Luo Xusheng."
"Later, Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan fell in love. After that, Ling Ruonan found out she was pregnant. She threatened to kill herself rather than agree to the arranged marriage with the Yang Family and, seizing the moment when her family was unprepared, she eloped with Luo Xusheng. When the Yang Family heard the news, not willing to endure such humiliation, Yang Yunfeng personally led a pursuit," Ouyang Feifei paused here.
With Ouyang Feifei withholding the most crucial details, Ouyang Huihui nearly leapt up in urgency, "Sis, keep talking."
"The final outcome was that Yang Yunfeng died during the chase, Luo Xusheng was exiled to the high plateaus of the west, and Ling Ruonan gave birth to a son, who is Luo Ziling. Three months after his birth, his grandfather took him to the Northwest. He was raised by his grandfather, Luo Liansheng!"
"Ah?! So it's like that!" Ouyang Huihui listened, dumbstruck, "Then isn't the bastard very pitiful? Growing up with his grandfather, never having seen his parents?"
Ouyang Feifei nodded slightly, saying nothing.
"Then how did he come to study in Yanjing?" Ouyang Huihui asked, puzzled.
"It must have been the result of Ling Ruonan's efforts. Hah, Luo Ziling, Ziling only; his dad is quite a romantic," Ouyang Feifei laughed oddly.
"Given Ling Ruonan's current significant status, controlling the Northern Group and being a weighty figure in the Ling Family, why couldn't she bring her own son to Yanjing earlier for a family reunion?" Ouyang Huihui asked with confusion.
"It must have been the pressure from the Yang Family."
"The Ling Family has more influence than the Yang Family, so why are they still afraid of the Yang Family's coercion?" Ouyang Huihui was still puzzled.
Ouyang Huihui knew that both the Ling and Yang families were top-tier elite clans in Huaxia, wielding tremendous influence that the Ouyang Family couldn't compare with. Although economically not as strong as the Ouyang Family, they were still not to be underestimated.
The Ling Family's overall strength was stronger than the Yang Family's. Ling Ruonan's grandfather, Ling Jinhua, once was like The Pillar in Huaxia, and her father, Ling Mingrui, is currently one of the most influential people in the country. Many members of the Ling Family held important positions in crucial departments.
One could say there really was no family stronger than the Ling Family, but why then did the Ling Family fear the threats from the Yang Family?
"There must be reasons we are not aware of," Ouyang Feifei said, then added, "Actually, I've only heard these things from Grandfather in the past couple of days."
"Ah?! So you've only just found out?" Ouyang Huihui was surprised.
Ouyang Feifei didn't say much, merely instructing Ouyang Huihui to get out of the car.
Ouyang Huihui didn't immediately exit the vehicle; her eyes spun around as she suddenly had an idea and curiously asked, "Sister, do you think if Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin met, would they act like enemies? Yang Qingyin is also studying at Yan University, hehe!"
Ouyang Feifei remained silent, but waves stirred in her heart.
"Hmph, I don't think Yang Qingyin is that pretty anyway, always acting so self-righteous, looking down on everyone. She's far behind you in comparison and not even as beautiful as I am. Don't worry, I will definitely snatch the title of Yan University's most beautiful campus belle. Hehe, I actually hope they do meet, and better yet, have a fight. If they stir up a huge mess, that would be quite a spectacle to watch," Ouyang Huihui said in a schadenfreude manner, laughing lewdly.
Yang Qingyin is the princess of the Yang Family, the daughter of Yang Yunlin, the brother of the man Ouyang Feifei just mentioned, Yang Yunfeng, who once had a marriage arrangement with Ling Ruonan. She is a beautiful woman whose name is often mentioned alongside Ouyang Feifei, considered by many to be Yanjing's Number One Beauty.
Many people refer to Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei as the "Yanjing Beauty," which attests to their level of beauty.
"I hope they don't meet, at least not in these next couple of years!" Ouyang Feifei murmured softly.
"Sister, why would you think that? Could it be you're afraid..." Ouyang Huihui's face showed astonishment, but she did not finish her sentence.
With a slight upturn of her mouth, Ouyang Feifei revealed a charming smile but said nothing.
Ouyang Huihui felt anxious inside, yet she didn't know what to say.
"If Ling Ruonan finds out about today's incident, she won't let it go easily," Ouyang Feifei's expression softened slightly, "It's a blessing he wasn't hurt. In the future, don't go looking for him to cause trouble, stay away from him."
"I know," Ouyang Huihui pouted, feeling unhappy inside, but still agreed.
"I didn't expect his martial skills to be so formidable," Ouyang Feifei sighed, astonished internally.
Ouyang Feifei was well aware of the abilities of Li Dongjun's bodyguards.
Although not top-tier experts, one could easily handle three or four adults.
Luo Ziling, on his own, had managed to take all of them down and even caused Li Dongjun serious injuries, his combat skills were terrifying indeed.
She grew even more interested in this shy young man!
