Chapter 1305: Chapter 1305: Return to the Old Residence

After breakfast, it was already past eight o’clock.

The car had been prepared a while ago.

Seeing the vehicle parked in front of the hotel, Luo Ziling, Yang Qingyin, and several other people were somewhat surprised.

The previous day, they had ridden in two relatively ordinary Mercedes-Benz SUVs, arranged by Ye Xiaoli at Yang Qingyin’s request.

But today, a luxurious Bentley was parked there, and Ouyang Feifei, after coming down from the elevator, asked Luo Liansheng to take the Bentley.

It looked like this was arranged by Ouyang Feifei through Wang Qing.

Seeing the luxurious Bentley, Luo Ziling glanced at Yang Qingyin and, seeing that she didn’t show any particular reaction, he felt relieved.

It seemed that Yang Qingyin didn’t care about this episode, or maybe she knew that Ouyang Feifei had gotten a more luxurious car just to show off and intimidate the other members of the Luo Family.

Luo Ziling didn’t accompany Luo Liansheng in the Bentley, instead, he squeezed into the same Mercedes-Benz SUV they had taken yesterday with Yang Qingyin.

Luo Ziling’s decision made Yang Qingyin feel a little smug, but she still said to Luo Ziling with some irritation: “Why aren’t you accompanying your grandfather in the Bentley?”

“It’s too crowded, I’d rather ride with senior sister,” Luo Ziling chuckled slyly, looking lewdly at Yang Qingyin: “Senior sister wouldn’t refuse to let me ride with her, would she?”

Yang Qingyin looked at Luo Ziling with bright eyes and said seriously: “I did have that thought. Why don’t you get off and switch to another car?”

“Not interested,” Luo Ziling squeezed next to Yang Qingyin, “If you want to get off, I wouldn’t mind either.”

“Why should I get off?” Yang Qingyin pinched Luo Ziling under the cover of her handbag, “This car was arranged by Xiaoli.”

“The drive from here takes almost half an hour, so to avoid you getting too bored, I’ll keep you company and chat!”

“With those two, I won’t be lonely,” Yang Qingyin pointed to Ye Xiaoli and Wang Zhenjun seated in front: “I’ll have Xiaoli talk to me.”

Luo Ziling looked disdainful: “Xiaoli is a dull person; I don’t believe you can chat all the way.”

While they were talking, the car already left the parking lot and headed towards the outskirts of the city.

Wang Zhenjun and Ye Xiaoli in the front acted as if they hadn’t heard the flirting and quarreling behind them.

Ouyang Feifei’s arrival wasn’t accompanied only by Wang Qing but also a large group of bodyguards.

When Luo Ziling went to receive her at the station yesterday, Wang Qing had already arranged the vehicles, but Ouyang Feifei wisely didn’t choose the car arranged by Wang Qing and instead took the car that Luo Ziling brought over, giving face to him and Luo Liansheng.

It has to be said, not only is Ouyang Feifei’s IQ very high, her EQ is also very high.

As long as she pays attention, she rarely makes mistakes in details.

Usually, she just isn’t interested in paying attention to these things.

On the way to Orchid Pavilion and out of the city, the bodyguards who didn’t appear yesterday also followed in vehicles.

In Yang Xiaodong’s car, there were also several bodyguards of Ouyang Feifei.

“This is quite a spectacle,” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but remark on the way: “It’s almost like the fanfare of ancient officials on an inspection tour with gongs and drums.”

“I’ve heard that Ouyang Feifei has been the target of assassination attempts several times. For her own safety, it’s normal for her to have tight security when traveling,” said Yang Qingyin, then glancing sideways at Luo Ziling: “Unlike us, just a simple girl who doesn’t need such complexity.”

“You’re still a little girl, aren’t you surrounded by a loyal bodyguard every day? Unlike…” Originally, Luo Ziling wanted to say unlike him, but as the words came to his lips, he realized he also had two super bodyguards by his side, so he had to swallow his words back.

However, his partially uttered words successfully earned him a fierce pinch from Yang Qingyin, so painful that he couldn’t help but cry out, causing Wang Zhenjun and Ye Xiaoli in front to reflexively look back.

Seeing the odd looks from Wang Zhenjun and Ye Xiaoli, Yang Qingyin felt even more annoyed and embarrassed, and pinched again.

This time, there was no restraint, and it was extremely violent.

“Stop it,” Luo Ziling grabbed Yang Qingyin’s mischievous hand, “It might affect Wang Zhenjun’s driving, and an accident would be troublesome.”

Yang Qingyin wrinkled her nose at Luo Ziling, showing her dissatisfaction, before finally stopping.

Wang Zhenjun even joked: “Young Master, with you flirting like this, it really does affect my driving!”

“If you’re jealous, just flirt with Xiaoli,” Luo Ziling retorted without any politeness.

Ye Xiaoli, caught in the crossfire innocently, glared at Wang Zhenjun resentfully.

Wang Zhenjun laughed awkwardly and dared not say anything more.

The Yuezhou Grand Hotel where Luo Ziling stayed was located in the direction of East City Dayuling and was very far from Orchid Pavilion.

After entering the expressway at Pingshui, the group traveled close to thirty kilometers and exited at Orchid Pavilion. The Shaozhu Expressway has a speed limit of 120 kilometers per hour, plus the fact that there were few cars on the road, they were able to travel quite quickly, and they got off the expressway before nine o’clock.

After leaving the expressway, the route to the Orchid Pavilion and the Luo Family Old Mansion in Lou Village was just an ordinary secondary road.

A line of luxury cars driving on the ordinary road was quite eye-catching, and the accompanying bodyguards, including Ye Xiaoli and Wang Zhenjun, all became tense.

Passing by the Orchid Pavilion scenic area, Luo Ziling saw several official business cars from Yuezhou parked in the parking lot, guessing that Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming were likely there.

At that moment, Ouyang Feifei’s voice came through the vehicle’s internal communication system, asking Luo Ziling whether they should visit Orchid Pavilion first.

The security systems of the cars varied, but they had synched their communication systems before departure, to prevent any issues on the road.

“Let’s go straight to the old mansion,” Luo Ziling did not want to meet Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming at Orchid Pavilion, since that wouldn’t be interesting and would seem like he was taking those two officials too seriously. “If all goes well, we might also enjoy a nice meal at a countryside restaurant nearby!”

“Alright!” Ouyang Feifei agreed.

The fleet, which had slowed down, immediately picked up speed again and drove onwards.

“Do you feel nervous as you approach your hometown?” Yang Qingyin quietly asked Luo Ziling.

“Not at all!” Luo Ziling replied with a wry smile.

However, his eyes were fixed outside, even though he had never been here before and it was completely unfamiliar to him, yet it was his true hometown, and he was full of interest.

After the cars left the main road, they turned onto a country road.

The country roads around Yuezhou were all well-maintained, broad asphalt roads.

After driving through an archway marked “Lou Village,” the convoy entered the village.

After making a couple of turns, they finally stopped at a flat threshing ground.

While still in the car, Luo Ziling had already caught sight of a rather imposing ancient building.

Although he had expected the Luo Family’s old mansion to be quite grand, he was still a bit surprised when he saw it with his own eyes.
