Luo Ziling did not care at all, and he winked at Ouyang Feifei with a sense of satisfaction.

"Mrs. Ling, I will take my leave first, you all enjoy your conversation," Ouyang Feifei returned to her normal expression, stood up, and bade farewell.

Ling Ruonan was slightly surprised but did not urge her to stay, allowing Ouyang Feifei to leave.

"What's wrong, do you have some issue with Feifei?" After Ouyang Feifei left, Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling with some curiosity, "She did quite well in this incident. She gave up her own interests and helped us wholeheartedly."

"I didn't say she was bad," Luo Ziling quickly explained, "I just think some things are better kept unknown to her."

"Alright," Ling Ruonan nodded, "Today, I called you here initially to discuss some cooperation matters among the three of us. We could collaborate with Feifei on those projects that were halted with the Chen Family. I wanted to talk about these matters, but she was irritated by you and left."

"She can't possibly be that petty!" Luo Ziling chuckled, looking indifferent.

"Your Great Grandfather also expressed his views on this matter," Ling Ruonan did not dwell on Luo Ziling's behavior, "Your grandfather exerted some effort and expressed himself firmly. Lin Zeping and Wang Zhengqiang did not waver and stood firmly on our side. The Yang Family also got involved, while the Fang Family did not side with the Chen Family. That is why Chen Yijing was taken into custody, and the matter of Chen Jiahu hiring an assassin has moved to criminal investigation and interrogation, without a chance for bail."

"Mom, what do you think the final outcome will be?"

Ling Ruonan shook her head, "I don't know what the final outcome will be, but one thing is certain: in this incident, the Chen Family has been severely weakened, and the other families will gain considerable advantages. At least, in personnel matters, we'll see results soon. Chen Yijing's position is definitely insecure, and which family takes over his position still depends on their negotiations. Chen Yining will encounter trouble too; at least, he won't progress further in the next few years. Chen Ruchang's influence will also significantly diminish."

At this point, Ling Ruonan lowered her voice, "There's a somewhat uncertain rumor that Chen Ruchang and his two sons had a rather intense conflict. Chen Yining and Chen Yijing argued openly in front of Chen Ruchang. The rumors about disharmony within the Chen Family's father, son, and brother relationships are likely true."

"Mom, does Grandpa have other thoughts that he discussed with you?" Luo Ziling pondered for a moment, preparing to reveal what Luo Liansheng had told him.

"What did he say?" Ling Ruonan was somewhat surprised.

"Grandpa said that if possible, help Chen Yihe, Chen Yiping a bit," Luo Ziling said calmly, "Grandmother is Chen Rushan's sister; she is Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping's aunt. Back then, the relationship between Chen Rushan and Grandpa was also good, so I can fully understand Grandpa's intention. However, I feel that realizing Grandpa's wishes won't be so easy!"

Ling Ruonan did not immediately respond to Luo Ziling.

She hadn't heard Luo Liansheng mention this matter; Luo Liansheng hadn't shown this intention before her.

She hadn't even paid attention to the fact that Luo Liansheng and Chen Rushan had a good relationship.

The grievances between Luo Liansheng and the Chen Family had passed over fifty years.

No one spoke of those past events anymore, at least Ling Ruonan hadn't heard Ling Mingrui mention them.

Although she knew that Luo Liansheng's wife was Miss Chen, she wasn't very clear about the relationship between Luo Liansheng and Miss Chen, or with other Chen Family members; how the disputes were back then, she didn't know.

No one mentioned it, and Luo Liansheng himself didn't bring it up, so Ling Ruonan hadn't paid attention or explored these matters.

Now, hearing Luo Ziling say it, she was quite surprised.

"I will consider this matter carefully," Ling Ruonan thought for a while before answering Luo Ziling, "Your Grandpa has a reasonable point. If Chen Yiping and Chen Yijing fall out of power, letting Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping step out to manage the Chen Family's matters is something worth considering."

Of course, Ling Ruonan didn't mention the prerequisites: Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping must agree with them, not work against them, and have the ability to control the Chen Family's situation; otherwise, it would just be futile effort or raising someone who would turn against them.

After knocking down one or several enemies and then grooming another few enemies, it would be like slapping their own face.

Luo Ziling understood Ling Ruonan's intended meaning and nodded in agreement.

"Someday, I should have a contact with Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping to understand their true intentions." Ling Ruonan was aware that the Chen Yining and Chen Yijing brothers did not get along well, nor did they have a great relationship with their cousins Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping.

She planned to personally meet Chen Yihe and Chen Yiping; everything would be decided after the contact.

Seeing Ling Ruonan's resolve, Luo Ziling didn't express anything further.

After discussing the event's development extensively, Ling Ruonan reminded Luo Ziling of a few things: "Before the final result is out, never be careless. Any small thing might be crucial to success or failure. Additionally, seize this opportunity to change Yang Yuanshan's attitude toward us. If my observation is correct, Yang Yuanshan's attitude toward you has already significantly changed."

"Mom, I understand; I will follow your instructions."

"Be careful on your way back, avoid any incidents." Ling Ruonan reminded again while walking out of the café with Luo Ziling.

"Mom, there won't be any incidents; the security Wuyue arranged for me is almost comparable to a visiting leader's." Luo Ziling said with a bitter smile.

After parting with Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling had Wuyue drive him home.

When he returned to the villa, Luo Liansheng had already arrived home and was sitting there drinking tea.

"Back already?" Upon seeing Luo Ziling enter, Luo Liansheng chuckled and gestured for Luo Ziling to sit down for tea, "Just got a bit of good tea, try it."

"Grandpa, is it West Lake Longjing? Is it fresh tea, the new spring tea that's as precious as Gold?" Luo Ziling saw the small tin of green tea in front of Luo Liansheng, picked it up to smell, and couldn't help but be surprised, "It seems the weather in the South is good this year; the new tea is available before the Qingming Festival."

The tea available before Qingming is called "pre-Qingming tea," and the tea available before the Grain Rain is called "pre-rain tea." Before Qingming, the weather is relatively cold, and the tea trees budding are scarce, making it very precious; the price of West Lake Longjing pre-Qingming tea is very high. The finest pre-Qingming tea might cost tens of thousands per tael, not something the average person can afford.

The person who could send such precious tea leaves is certainly extraordinary.

Luo Ziling made himself a cup of tea, tasted it, and smilingly asked, "Grandpa, who sent the tea leaves?"

"Chen Yihe!"

"Chen Yihe?" Upon hearing the name, Luo Ziling was immediately surprised.
