Chapter 43 Ling Lao
Ling Luochuan came back from the hospital that day and didn't sleep the whole night. The next morning, I bought a train ticket directly to Tianjin.
It took nearly four hours of journey to reach the heavily guarded cadre rest building.
The cadre rest building is located at the innermost part of the local garrison. It is a row of two-story buildings, where all the powerful old leaders live.
The small building is an old-style building with its own entrance and courtyard, in a retro Western-style style. It has existed since the Republic of China period and has been preserved and used since it survived the war.
Ling Luochuan asked the guard and then walked gently up the stairs.
He came to the study on the second floor, was silent for a moment, raised his hand, and knocked on the door gently and subtly.
"Come in." A majestic voice came from the room.
He gently pushed open the door, and the air in the study seemed to become unusually quiet. A pair of deep and sharp eyes looked at him.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to disturb you so suddenly." Ling Luochuan stood respectfully in front of the old man opposite.
When Ling Luochuan saw the old man in front of him, he felt a little scared.
Since childhood, I grew up under his stick and strictness, and only when I became what he satisfied with could I get a compliment.
Ling Feng leaned back in a wooden chair. Time had left traces on his face, but his posture was still upright, with unquestionable majesty.
"Sit down and tell me what's going on." His voice was low and powerful.
Ling Luochuan was silent for a moment, then spoke in a firm tone, "I refuse to marry into the Chu family."
Ling Feng's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and he asked, "You should know the significance of choosing the Chu family, so what is the reason you want me to agree?"
Ling Luochuan, who is usually calm and composed, seemed a little nervous at this moment, and his hands were unconsciously clenched together.
Thinking of the girl's smiling face, he narrated in a steady tone, "Grandpa, I made a contribution a while ago. You should know that I am now a leader among pilots. With my help, the Ling family will only get better and better."
"My grandson knows that there are always people better than you, but I am probably the most capable one among your grandchildren."
"Using me to arrange a marriage to balance the pressure from all sides is not the most cost-effective thing, I think. If the Chu family is defeated, I will be useless, right?"
"You have other grandchildren. I think it would be a good deal for both you and the Ling family to exchange them for me."
After Ling Luochuan spoke one sentence at a time, he remained calm, but there was still a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
Ling Feng pursed his lips into a hard straight line, and looked at his grandson opposite him expressionlessly, his eyes flashing with unpredictable emotions.
There was silence in the air for a long time. Ling Luochuan's palms were soaked with cold sweat. Finally, his majestic voice sounded, "Back then, your eldest brother married into the Su family. Now that the Su family has chosen its position politically, I'm afraid the situation will not be good."
"The marriage with the Chu family is indeed to balance the power of the other party."
"But there is one more thing. The Chu family is now in its heyday. They chose you because they want you to have a smoother and faster career."
Ling Feng slowly put down the teacup in his hand, sat up straight, and looked solemn and deep.
Ling Luochuan looked directly into the other person's deep eyes and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, politics changes rapidly, and I don't want to be involved with them."
"You won't be implicated. You will only enjoy their rights. If the Chu family steps down in the future, you can just divorce them." Ling Feng said in a cold tone, revealing a sense of alienation that was difficult to get close to.
Ling Luochuan knew clearly that the so-called feelings in the Ling family were just a joke, and interests were eternal.
He had not accepted it before, but he had not explicitly rejected it either, because he had never known that there were so many ways to live.
He thought that his family would be as harmonious as the Lin family in the future, and there would be someone as smart and energetic as Lin Xiuzhu in his family.
Instead of returning home to a cold house filled with quarrels and sarcasm, which would only suffocate him and make him want to escape.
Ling Luochuan lowered his eyelashes and replied calmly, "I will only have one wife in this life, and I will not abandon her if something happens to her."
"Of course, that person has to be chosen by me."
Ling Feng was no longer moved by these emotional entanglements. When he heard his grandson's words, he felt that he was still too young and emotional.
He doesn't even know what kind of person the child he raised is, and now he has met someone he likes.
According to reports from below, he has been staying at the Lin family in the west of the city for some time, so he must have fallen in love with a girl from the Lin family.
The Lin family is not a bad choice, although it is not the best option, but Lin Anbang’s two sons can be used for their own purposes.
Young Mu Ai can understand this, but we still have to suspend our support for him. Only when he runs into a wall will he realize that power is the most important thing.
Don't think that you can disobey your grandfather just because you have grown powerful enough.
Ling Feng said in a gentle tone: "I won't force you if you don't want to. I will talk to your parents."
"By the way, let Ling Luohe and Ling Meng meet the Chu family's comrades of the right age."
The decision to marry into the Chu family will not change. He has two sons, the eldest son has two sons, and the youngest son has one son and two daughters.
Ling Luochuan was unwilling to marry, and now the only ones of marriageable age were his eldest son's younger son and his youngest son's granddaughter.
Ling Luochuan, who usually had a cold expression, couldn't control the joy on his face at this moment. He stood up and nodded slightly to the man opposite him with respect and gratitude: "Thank you, Grandpa."
"Okay, go down and have a rest." Ling Feng waved his hand, signaling his grandson to leave.
After saying goodbye to his grandfather, Ling Luochuan bought a night train ticket back to Beijing.
When he got off the train, the curve of his lips did not drop.
