Chapter 357: Chapter 357: His skills in deceiving women are even more formidable than his father’s.
The night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the news of Luo Ziling’s heroic rescue of a child was finally broadcast on CCAV’s news channel.

Some of the mainstream domestic media and online portals also carried the report.

Suddenly, the deeds of Luo Ziling, the “Most Beautiful Lift Hero,” became widely celebrated.

However, Luo Ziling, who didn’t care about such matters and had no time to browse the news, remained unaware.

Luo Ziling’s ignorance did not mean that others were unaware of the event.

Many people learned about him through the news reports, and those who harbored hatred against him, or rather, those who wanted to trick him, drive him out of Yanjing, or even wish for his death, also learned of his heroic act through the news.

On the afternoon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after seeing Luo Ziling’s image in the news, Chen Jiahai once again called Chen Wanqing, urging her to speed up and destroy Luo Ziling.

Regardless of the method, as long as Luo Ziling was ruined, he was willing to give Chen Wanqing a generous reward—these were Chen Jiahai’s words to her.

After Luo Ziling appeared with Ouyang Feifei, he was also seen shopping with Ouyang Huihui, and their relationship appeared quite close, which angered Chen Jiahai tremendously.

He had liked Ouyang Feifei and pursued her for several years.

Another reason he pursued Ouyang Feifei relentlessly was that she had a beautiful sister.

The temptation of two sisters was, indeed, immensely powerful.

The thought of possibly making both Ouyang Feifei and Ouyang Huihui his women one day excited Chen Jiahai immensely.

But after his arduous pursuit of Ouyang Feifei made no progress, and after being snubbed by Ouyang Huihui, the prospect of another man possibly getting both Ouyang Feifei and Ouyang Huihui infuriated Chen Jiahai to no end.

As a result, he was furious, pressuring Chen Wanqing to find a way to ruin Luo Ziling.

Moreover, he was thinking of other measures, preparing to use different means to destroy or even kill this man who looked like a pretty boy.

At the moment, Chen Jiahai still did not know that Luo Ziling was Ling Ruonan’s son and thought he was just an ordinary handsome man.

He had not even considered that there was a blood relationship between Luo Ziling and himself, that they were distant relatives of the fourth generation.

Chen Jiahai had ordered an investigation into Luo Ziling but hadn’t looked into it personally. The person he instructed to handle it had been careless and had not put in the effort to investigate properly, so Chen Jiahai was unclear about Luo Ziling’s real identity.

Yang Yuanshan, who watched the news every day, also saw Luo Ziling in the news.

On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, while Yang Yunlin was visiting him with his wife and daughter for the holiday, they brought up the topic again.

“That Luo kid, he’s even more skilled at deceiving women than his father, spinning your daughter around his finger while also getting involved with the Ouyang Family’s women. Don’t you feel humiliated?” When speaking alone, Yang Yuanshan coldly said to Yang Yunlin, “Even the television is broadcasting that kid’s affairs with the Ouyang Family’s women.”

“The Luo kid had a marriage arrangement with Ouyang Feifei; they were betrothed as children, but later that Luo kid came to call off the engagement,” Yang Yunlin explained.

Of course, Yang Yuanshan would not know about these things; people like them had no interest in delving into such trivial matters.

Yang Yunlin wouldn’t have inquired into these matters either if he hadn’t been thinking of how to deal with Luo Ziling.

“So what do you want to do?” Yang Yuanshan, sipping his tea slowly, looked at Yang Yunlin with a calm expression.

“I underestimated the kid’s capabilities, and I also underestimated Ling Ruonan’s ruthlessness,” Yang Yunlin knew his father was somewhat disappointed in him, failing at such a trivial matter and being passive all the time. After offering an explanation, he continued, “Dad, I originally wanted Qingyin to transfer schools, but she refuses to budge, so that plan won’t work. I think we need to find a different way to deal with this kid.”

“What different way?” Yang Yunlin’s expression remained unchanged.

“Let others deal with the kid,” Yang Yunlin shared the plan he had been considering for the past few days, “Fang Dongxun has a good relationship with Qingyin, but we don’t want them to be together, and the Fang Family doesn’t want to become in-laws with us either. Nevertheless, Fang Dongxun quite likes Qingyin. Lu Weiguang is also pursuing Qingyin. We can use them to teach that Luo kid a lesson, and in doing so, the Yang Family won’t encounter any trouble; Chen Jiahai is pursuing Ouyang Feifei, Ling Zhengping’s son Ling Haining is also interested in Ouyang Feifei, and there are many wealthy young masters eying Ouyang Huihui. Since this kid has unclear relationships with the Ouyang sisters, we can let these people go after him.”

Yang Yuanshan put down his teacup and asked unkindly, “If they knew that Luo kid was Ling Ruonan’s son, would they still dare to touch him?”

“Not necessarily,” Yang Yunlin answered truthfully, “they would definitely have reservations. But if we don’t reveal the Luo kid’s background and even cover it up for him, they might not find out. I believe Ling Ruonan wouldn’t want her son’s identity to be exposed publicly either, and would surely try to conceal it. As far as I know, not many people are aware of the Luo kid’s true identity. If we hide it, those young masters interested in Qingyin and the Ouyang sisters, upon learning of the Luo kid’s complicated relationship with them, will surely be enraged. Using them to deal with the Luo kid might have surprising effects and avoid troubles during sensitive times. Later on, we can also use the fact that Luo kid returned to the Capital without notice as leverage to force the Ling Family into concessions.”

Yang Yuanshan nodded but did not comment, continuing to drink his tea.

“With the appearance of reports related to Luo on TV and online, his situation will soon catch the attention of more people. I believe, Ling Ruonan will try to hide her son’s real identity, and even if direct interview reports come out, it’s unlikely they’ll reveal Luo kid’s true identity. As the kid’s fame grows, more troubles will follow, which could be good for him to struggle with, killing several birds with one stone,” Yang Yunlin said.

After hearing Yang Yunlin say all this, Yang Yuanshan still did not express any opinion, merely sipping his tea slowly.

Yang Yunlin knew that his father was still not very satisfied with his plans.

After some thought, he also brought up another idea, “I should have a chat with Fang Zhonghua sometime. He once mentioned to me about Fang Dongxun getting together with Qingyin. Fang Xiang is not interested, but if Fang Zhonghua is, we could talk about it.”

“Hmm, an alliance between the Yang family and the Fang family isn’t a bad idea,” Yang Yuanshan finally spoke, “besides, the Fang boy, Fang Dongxun, is decent in both looks and abilities, and Fang Zhonghua is not bad either.”

Fang Zhonghua is the eldest son of the Fang Family Head Fang Xiang, and Fang Dongxun is Fang Zhonghua’s only son.

Fang Zhonghua actually had long harbored the idea of marrying into the Yang Family, but various constraints had prevented him from bringing it up openly.

Yang Qingyin, who was in the next room talking with her grandmother, of course, had no idea that her grandfather and father were scheming about matters related to her.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, she spent in low spirits; and other than the family issues, there was another reason for her gloominess.

That was, Luo Ziling hadn’t even sent her a message.
