"However, Luo Ling did not appear at the scene. Only her people came to participate in the auction. I only exchanged a few words with her on the phone."
Although Gu Yibei promised Luo Ling at the auction that he would invite her to his wedding with Ji Zhinan, they had no contact after the auction.
After saying that, Gu Yibei's eyes fell on Li Yuan, and he said, "Dad, I'll go and investigate right away."
"..." Li Yuan gave him a deep look, unusually quiet without glaring at Gu Yibei. After staring at him silently for a while, Li Yuan got up and went back to his study.
Charleson followed closely behind.
No sooner had Li Yuan and Charleson left than Gu Yibei escorted Ji Zhinan to the company.
On the way, Ji Zhinan sat in the passenger seat, holding the seatbelt with one hand, her beautiful eyes fixed on the scenery outside.
"Yi Bei".
After thinking for a long time, Ji Zhinan turned his head and looked at Gu Yibei, who was driving.
Gu Yibei rested his left elbow on the outside of the car door, propping his head up with a lazy attitude, while his right hand rested casually on the steering wheel.
Hearing his wife calling him, the man looked up.
"The Luo family...my mother..."
Ji Zhinan opened his mouth, but hesitated, unsure how to organize his thoughts.
Having been searching for Xi Luo, Ji Zhinan was now at a loss when Li Yuan provided a lead.
After stammering for a long time, Ji Zhinan pursed his lips and asked a question that sounded somewhat strange.
"Luo Ling... could she be a good person?"
"No one in her position is a good person." That was Gu Yibei's reply.
"..."
What noble families value most is power and status. Just like the rebellion of the elders of the Warrens family twenty years ago, why rebel? It's because they are not satisfied with the power they have, they want more, and they want to be above everyone else.
Human nature is inherently greedy; once you have the first portion, you want the second.
In aristocratic families, due to various reasons, it is usually men who inherit the family, whether as the clan leader or deputy clan leader. A female deputy clan leader like Luo Ling is one of a kind in the world.
For a woman to hold the position of vice patriarch in such a large family as the Luo family for so many years without falling from grace, her brother being the patriarch is only one factor. If she didn't have some ability, she wouldn't be able to hold onto this position securely.
It's not fair to say that Luo Ling is an utterly wicked person, but she's definitely not a good one either.
Ji Zhinan pursed her lips and then suddenly bit them, biting them for a few seconds before pursing them again, repeating the two actions back and forth.
Gu Yibei focused on driving and didn't disturb her.
“I remember the first time I met Luo Shi in Country Y, his first words to me were: Aunt, what are you doing here?”
"..."
“Aunt…” Ji Zhinan murmured these two words.
She remembered that for a moment at that time she did have doubts about whether the Luo family was related to her, just because of Xi Luo's name and the word "aunt".
But at the time, it was just a sudden idea that popped into her head, and even she herself found it somewhat unbelievable.
But after calming down, she realized that her thoughts were somewhat absurd. She had never met Luo Ling, and Luo Shi had only mistaken her for someone else. Besides, at that time, she was not sure if Xi Luo was still alive...
For all the reasons mentioned above, she did not pay much attention to matters concerning the Luo family.
Now that the topic has come up again, Ji Zhinan suddenly has a strong desire to meet Luo Ling, the female patriarch of the Luo family, to see just who she is.
