Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304 What’s Wrong?

The next morning, Ouyang Feifei was both vexed and irritated to see the faint dark circles under her eyes in the mirror.

After applying some hot water for a while, she felt a bit better.

She never wore makeup and always presented herself bare-faced to everyone. This was somewhat similar to Yang Qingyin, whose daily makeup routine consisted of combing her hair, applying some moisturizing cream on her face, trimming her eyebrows, and making sure her clothes were neat and tidy.

But today, Ouyang Feifei unusually dabbed some foundation on her face, trying to cover up the slight darkness under her eyes.

Right when she was done primping, Wang Qing came to tell her that Luo Ziling had just called, inviting them to have breakfast. The hotel breakfast had already been delivered to his room. They could chat about some matters while eating breakfast.

“Sure,” Ouyang Feifei nodded her head, picked up her bag, and got ready to go to Luo Ziling’s room.

As she was about to leave her room, Ouyang Feifei instructed Wang Qing to let her know if Wu Jianjun or Ding Zhongming called, as she had a few words to remind them.

Last night, Ouyang Feifei had given them Wang Qing’s number, telling them to call her private assistant if needed. Naturally, Wang Qing agreed.

Coincidentally, just as they stepped out of the room and were about to take the elevator, Wang Qing’s phone rang.

It was Wu Jianjun calling. Wang Qing promptly answered, exchanged a few words, and then handed the phone to Ouyang Feifei.

“This is Ouyang Feifei,” she immediately introduced herself.

Wu Jianjun’s hearty voice came through the receiver, asking if they were going to visit the Luo Family Old Mansion today. He and Ding Zhongming were just about to attend an opening ceremony of a calligraphy seminar at the Orchid Pavilion, and they planned to visit the old mansion afterward, probably around nine to nine-thirty.

The Luo Family Old Mansion was an ancient building from the late Ming and early Qing dynasty, and such structures were rare even in historical cities like Yuezhou. They hadn’t known about this building before and were planning to take a look.

Ouyang Feifei knew this was just Wu Jianjun’s excuse, as he and Ding Zhongming actually wanted to visit the old house with Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling, in an attempt to build relationships.

Of course, she wouldn’t disclose this, and during the conversation, she made her intentions clear.

Actually, Wu Jianjun hoped to hear direct requests from either Ouyang Feifei or Luo Ziling. Today’s request was even more straightforward than yesterday’s, which relieved him. He understood that if he helped Ouyang Feifei or Luo Ziling, there would certainly be a reward.

If they seek your help, it’s recognition of you, and the reward they can offer in return would be far greater than the help you’ve given them. Just like himself, he seldom asked for help, but if he did, he’d remember the favor and certainly reciprocate it in the future.

“Wu Jianjun just called. He will visit your old house later,” once upstairs and in Luo Ziling’s room, Ouyang Feifei walked up to him, who was chomping down wontons, and whispered the situation to him, then asked, “Didn’t they contact you?”

“Maybe they think you have more money, so they contacted you,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “No, I’m wrong. It’s because you are beautiful, so men like to seek you out.”

This comment earned him a roll of the eyes from Yang Qingyin, who was sipping porridge on the side.

Ouyang Feifei looked annoyed as well.

Luo Ziling didn’t care and just kept eating.

Luo Liansheng was still on the phone in the room, having slipped away to take a call while he was getting ready for breakfast.

Yang Xiaodong, Wang Zhenjun, and Ye Xiaoli didn’t stay there; they went to Yang Xiaodong’s room to have breakfast.

After Wang Qing came in and didn’t see the three of them, she eventually also left to look for them.

Only Luo Ziling, Ouyang Feifei, and Yang Qingyin were left in the room.

Previously, Luo Ziling had a bit of a headache with the two women appearing together, but now he didn’t feel any headache at all.

Seeing the two women openly and covertly compete for him made him feel great, as his vanity was greatly satisfied.

Ouyang Feifei and Yang Qingyin both had pride in their bones, and they wouldn’t make a scene like ordinary women do; even their rivalry wouldn’t lose them their dignity. Such rivalry had an artistic quality to it; Luo Ziling sometimes felt embarrassed, but more often, he was very pleased.

Of course, Luo Ziling preferred it when women displayed their beauty and tenderness before him, which was when he most enjoyed himself.

He also liked to see them cast flirtatious glances, and he found it cute when they rolled their eyes at him because women in those moments were very lovable.

“I also like to talk to beautiful women, and if there are two women, I would definitely choose to talk to the prettier one,” Luo Ziling spoke unabashedly in front of the two women and then chuckled, “Women also like to show their most beautiful side to others to draw attention, this is human nature as an animal species; don’t elevate it to some high level.”

“Junior, I didn’t expect that after only a semester of study, you’re almost becoming a philosopher,” Yang Qingyin looked at Luo Ziling with a smile that was not quite a smile, “Even researching human nature?”

“I’ve studied Marxism-Leninism, haven’t I? My Marxism-Leninism Teacher is a very caring auntie, hehe, she takes great care of me, and from her actions and her lectures, I have grasped the point I just mentioned,” Luo Ziling continued to boast shamelessly, “I am naturally eager to learn, and I don’t just study in a rote manner, so I have grasped the essence of Teacher Wu’s lessons.”

When Luo Ziling spoke about Marxism-Leninism Teacher Wu Xiaozhen, he thought of the several times she had brought up matchmaking.

Close to winter break, Wu Xiaozhen was still keen on having him meet Dai Shulan, it was just that Luo Ziling hadn’t had the time.

Luo Ziling wasn’t opposed to meeting Dai Shulan; it wasn’t that he wanted to develop feelings with her, but rather to genuinely get to know her.

Having met several times, only in passing on stage, he also knew that Dai Shulan was a pretty and talented girl. He believed that Dai Shulan’s impression of him would not be wrong either.

Another very important point was that Dai Shulan knew about his emotional entanglements with Yang Qingyin, Ouyang Huihui, and Luo Yuqing. If she brought it up when they met, it wouldn’t be too awkward.

Just to make a friend.

Luo Ziling was willing to make friends with a beauty like Dai Shulan, and he believed that she would feel the same way.

At this moment, Luo Liansheng came out of the room with a not-so-good look on his face; the person on the phone must have upset him.

“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Luo Ziling promptly asked.

“Hehe, they don’t welcome us to go there,” Luo Liansheng said with undeniable anger.

Hearing Luo Liansheng say this, Luo Ziling, Ouyang Feifei, and Yang Qingyin exchanged a look; the three of them understood that today’s event was doomed not to go smoothly.
