(First Update)

“Alright, I’ll get ready,” Luo Ziling smiled at Ling Ruonan. “Mom, don’t worry, I’ll definitely make you proud!”

As the mother and son sat down in the living room for tea, Luo Ziling recounted the incidents that had occurred during Ouyang Huihui’s birthday party that night.

Upon hearing Luo Ziling’s narrative, Ling Ruonan’s face changed color. She hadn’t expected that Chen Jiahai, Fang Dongxun, Ling Haining, Yang Qingye, and Wu Zhongning, the scions of major families, would all attend. She was immediately convinced that this wasn’t a coincidence but a premeditated scheme aimed, of course, not at the Ouyang sisters, Ouyang Feifei and Ouyang Huihui, but specifically at Luo Ziling.

Ouyang Huihui hadn’t invited them to her birthday gathering; they had come on their own accord. If it were just one person, it could be understandable, as many wanted to pursue either Ouyang Huihui or Ouyang Feifei.

But when the notable sons of Yanjing’s most prominent families—Ling Haining, Fang Dongxun, Chen Jiahai, and Yang Qingye—all attended and were invited by others, it could only mean that someone had orchestrated the event meticulously.

They wanted to target Luo Ziling at the party, to bully him or do something even more vile.

Ganging up to force drinks on Luo Ziling was one of their tactics.

Unfortunately for them, they hadn’t anticipated Luo Ziling’s high tolerance for alcohol, and a group of them still couldn’t outdrink him alone.

Ling Ruonan took a deep breath, her expression growing serious, “Ling’er, although you weren’t bullied at Ouyang Huihui’s birthday gathering and even defeated them in the drinking contest, you have tarnished their reputation. Regardless of what their relationships are with each other, they will all consider you an enemy. I didn’t expect someone to be so malicious, to push you to the forefront against these young elites so quickly. It’s foreseeable that they will often scheme against you in the future, even plotting your death. You must be worried.”

“Mom, I feel the same way, and I will definitely be careful. No matter what tricks they use, I will find a way to strike back and achieve the ultimate victory,” Luo Ziling confidently stated, “I also believe that they aren’t united; the conflicts among them might even be greater than what they have with me. I can use this to my advantage and counterattack with different tactics.”

“If you think this way, Mom is somewhat relieved,” Ling Ruonan showed a slight smile but quickly resumed her serious tone, “If I’m not mistaken, this incident was again orchestrated by the Ling Family. If you come back with me for Great Grandfather’s birthday, there will be even more people who resent you, and they’ll engage in more small and big actions against you.”

“Mom, as long as Great Grandfather and Grandpa don’t dislike me, that’s enough,” Luo Ziling said with a comforting smile, standing behind Ling Ruonan and starting to massage her shoulders, “Mom, you’ve worked hard and must be tired. Let me give you a massage.”

Of course, Ling Ruonan didn’t object and straightened up to let Luo Ziling massage her.

“`

“If your grandfather is willing to let you go back to celebrate your great grandfather’s birthday and is even prepared to let you treat him, it means they are willing to accept you,” said Ling Ruonan, comfortably enjoying Luo Ziling’s massage, speaking softly, “Ling’er, if they meet you and think you’re great, then you can truly come back. By then, with your grandfather and great grandfather’s affection, things will be much simpler. In the future, when you go out, no one will dare to openly bully you, and everyone will treat you as part of the Ling Family.”

“Mom, I’m not from the Ling Family. My surname is Luo,” Luo Ziling, upon hearing Ling Ruonan say this, stopped his massage and spoke very seriously, “I am from the Luo Family; my surname is Luo, not a descendant of the Ling Family. I have never thought about becoming a part of the Ling Family.”

Luo Ziling’s words left Ling Ruonan utterly surprised. She turned to look at him, incredulously asking, “Ling’er, what do you mean?”

“I don’t want to return to the Ling Family only to face other people’s disdain. I want to have my own life, my own achievements.” Luo Ziling said these words and then reminded Ling Ruonan earnestly, “Mom, we are from the Luo Family. I want to create my own glory, and I also want the Luo Family to have honor that others will look up to. Only when we are strong and not dependent on others, will no one dare to bully us.”

Ling Ruonan was even more touched; she couldn’t believe that her son, who was just twenty years old, would say such things.

In Ling Ruonan’s eyes, although her son was already twenty, he was still a boy who hadn’t fully matured. Because she felt she owed Luo Ziling a lot, what she wanted most was to give him enough compensation and protect him well, so that he wouldn’t be bullied. But unexpectedly, her son spoke so assertively, not wishing to live in dependence on others, and wanting to create his own honor and brilliance.

“As long as we are strong enough and have the ability, no one will dare or be able to bully us,” seeing Ling Ruonan’s surprised face, Luo Ziling smiled, “Mom, look, not many people have dared to bully you over the years, because you are powerful and strong. Ever since I became famous for fighting, nobody at school has dared to bully me. If we are even more powerful in the future, even less people will dare. Who says the Luo Family can’t be an elite family?”

Upon hearing Luo Ziling’s last two sentences, Ling Ruonan suddenly saw the light and smiled, “You’re right, we can build our own elite family.”

“Mom, the people from Dragon Rise want me to be their paramilitary doctor, and I’m thinking of agreeing to them. With the ‘tiger’s skin’ of Dragon Rise, those who want to bully me will definitely have second thoughts.” Luo Ziling said, his face showing pride, “Because of my exceptional medical skills, the people from Dragon Rise have recognized me and want me to collaborate with them. I’ve obtained a protective charm, and in the future, I might get even more. With more protective charms, our rivals will have more concerns, and maybe one day, they won’t dare to make a move. By then, we, who can sit at the same level as them, might just be considered an elite family in the eyes of others.”

“Ling’er, how did you come up with all this?” Ling Ruonan asked in surprise as she grabbed Luo Ziling’s hand, “Who told you these things?”

“No one,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “I just thought of it all of a sudden.”

Ling Ruonan didn’t believe it and asked in detail about Luo Ziling going to the Dragon Rise base to diagnose someone today; after listening, she gently added, “Actually, Li Haiyang is a trusted confidant of your grandfather.”

“I’ve known about that for a while,” Luo Ziling smiled, “But I know that my grandfather, whom I’ve never met, wouldn’t personally instruct Senior Li Haiyang to take care of these specific matters. If Senior Li Haiyang doesn’t think I’m worth the effort, he wouldn’t treat me this way.”

“Alright, you make sense.” Ling Ruonan felt happy inside that Luo Ziling could say such things and think so far ahead.
