Chapter 278: 278 Understanding Worldly Wisdom



Yesterday, when he went to Ling Ruonan’s for dinner, he was too excited and forgot to bring a gift.

Last night, after coming back and lying in bed pondering, he felt that he had been rude.

He believed that if Ling Ruonan saw he had brought a gift, she would definitely be surprised.

When Luo Ziling was almost at the school gate, he received a call from Wuyue saying she would arrive at the school soon and asked where Luo Ziling was.

Luo Ziling asked Wuyue to come straight to the school gate to pick him up; he would wait there.

As he reached the school gate, Luo Ziling had already seen the Mercedes-Benz car driven by Wuyue parked there.

“Sister Wuyue, thank you for picking me up,” Luo Ziling this time didn’t sit in the back seat but chose the passenger seat.

After sitting down, he took a box out of his pocket and handed it to Wuyue, “This is a little gift from me to you, I hope you like it.”

Wuyue hesitated for a moment, took it smoothly, and opened it in front of Luo Ziling to look.

She was immediately surprised to see it was an uncarved piece of jade.

Having been with Ling Ruonan for a while, her taste had also become quite high, and she could tell that the uncarved piece of jade was valuable, and didn’t dare accept it. “Young Master, thank you, but I cannot accept.”

“I found it behind the mountains at home, I don’t know the quality, and I had no other gifts, so please just take it,” Luo Ziling sincerely said, “Please don’t look down on it, otherwise I’ll be unhappy.”

After thinking for a while, Wuyue eventually did not refuse anymore, “Then I thank you, Young Master.”

She decided to hand the jade to Ling Ruonan when she arrived and let Ling Ruonan deal with it.

The car quickly arrived at the villa where Ling Ruonan lived.

Hearing the sound of the car, Ling Ruonan, dressed in home attire, came out to greet them.

Seeing the well-dressed Luo Ziling getting out of the car, Ling Ruonan, who originally didn’t look too well, immediately broke into a smile.

“Linger, you’re here. Have you had lunch?”

“Mom…” Last night’s meeting with Ling Ruonan was indoors. Today, standing outside in the bright light, Luo Ziling once again felt somewhat unreal and even called out “Mom” a bit awkwardly.

But Luo Ziling’s slightly shy “Mom” made Ling Ruonan very happy.

She walked up laughing happily and took Luo Ziling’s arm, “Let’s talk inside the house. This morning, Mom went out and bought you a few sets of clothes; you can try them later to see if they fit.”

“You’ve already bought me quite a lot of clothes; I haven’t even had the chance to wear them all,” he said, but Luo Ziling still felt a warm feeling in his heart.

“It’s okay, just get dressed slowly,” Ling Ruonan said as she noticed the small bag Luo Ziling was carrying, but she didn’t ask anything.

“Mom, I brought you some gifts,” Luo Ziling said as he opened his bag and took out the treasures he had brought, “These Tianshan Saussurea were all picked by me, harvested above the snow line on Tianshan, and they have grown for many years, so their quality is very good. You can use them to make porridge or stew with other ingredients. These matsutake mushrooms and saffron were also picked by me; they have great health benefits.”

Opening another small box and handing it to Ling Ruonan, “This jade was found in the mountains near our old home in the Northwest. Grandfather said the quality is exceptionally good. I’m giving it to you to have someone carve a jade pendant or some other jewelry, something you can wear every day…”

He couldn’t finish his sentence because he saw tears in Ling Ruonan’s eyes again.

Ling Ruonan, with reddened eyes, looked at Luo Ziling. Her pretty mouth trembled slightly, but she still desperately tried to smile, her voice quivering, “Ling’er, thank you. No matter what you give to mom, mom likes it very much.”

Although Ling Ruonan felt she did not need any health products, she would by no means refuse the Tianshan Saussurea, matsutake mushrooms, and saffron personally picked by Luo Ziling. She immediately took them, opened them up to examine closely, and mentioned that she would use the Tianshan Saussurea to make porridge that evening.

Ling Ruonan also accepted the piece of jade Luo Ziling gave her.

It was the first time she had received a gift from her son, and she was deeply moved.

Anything given by her son was very precious.

As she opened the box, she was astonished by the quality of the jade.

Having a certain study and interest in jewelry and jade, Ling Ruonan could tell that the piece of pale-red, nearly transparent jade Luo Ziling gave her was incredibly precious, a rare sight of excellent quality jade.

She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Ling’er, where did you get this piece of jade? The quality is extremely good.”

“Near our old home, at the bottom of a cliff, I found several pieces like this one. Grandfather said there might be a small jade mine there, but it’s too dangerous and he forbid me from going,” Luo Ziling said, and then he chuckled, “I just gave one to Sister Wuyue as well.”

“Ling’er, thank you. I’ll have someone polish this piece of jade into a piece of jewelry as soon as possible, to wear every day.” Ling Ruonan wiped the tears from her eyes, her face breaking into a smile as she called over Wuyue, who was standing by waiting for instructions. Handing Wuyue the piece of jade Luo Ziling had given her, she commanded, “You personally take this piece of jade and have it polished into a piece of jewelry according to its quality. I want to wear it every day.”

“Yes, Miss,” Wuyue responded.

Wuyue wanted to ask about how to handle the jade Luo Ziling had given her, but then Ling Ruonan said, “Ling’er understands human affections and worldly matters; he knew to give you a gift as well, so don’t refuse it, just accept it.”

“Yes, Miss,” Wuyue had to agree.

After Wuyue left, Ling Ruonan took Luo Ziling’s hand and said softly, “After you left yesterday, I went to see your Great Grandfather; your grandfather was there too. I spoke to them about your situation.”

“What did they say?” Luo Ziling’s heart skipped a beat.

“They hope we don’t do more to provoke the Yang Family,” Ling Ruonan sighed and summarized what happened last night with Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui, then said, “I thought about it seriously last night and still feel their advice makes sense. Our mother and son shouldn’t appear together publicly; that would be too much for the Yang Family. Also, you’ll need to frequently treat Li Haiyang and appear often at the Ouyang Family’s villa—do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Mom, I understand!” Luo Ziling nodded vigorously, somewhat excited that Ling Ruonan’s thoughts were quite similar to his.
