Chapter 639 Luo Qianyu’s Strange Behavior
Zhang Lan glanced at Ling Feng, "Who else could it be but her!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately pictured Luo Qianyu’s little face and couldn’t help but smile as he asked, "What’s the matter with this girl?"
"Ah!"
Zhang Lan sighed again, "She insisted on studying abroad even though I had everything arranged for her here. But once she got there, she stopped going to school!"
Ling Feng was startled, "Why not?"
"How should I know why? Anyway, I’ve already stopped her credit card. She either goes to school or comes back to the country obediently. There’s no third option!" Zhang Lan said.
Seeing she was really upset, Ling Feng quickly tried to soothe her, "This girl isn’t young anymore; she must have her own ideas. Don’t be too rigid!"
"She’s a girl, how can I not be strict?" Zhang Lan said.
Realizing it was not a good time to say more, Ling Feng thought for a moment, "How about this, I’ll ask her what’s going on?"
"You?"
Zhang Lan was startled for a moment, then nodded her head, "That’s fine, I think she might listen to you!"
So, without rushing to drive, she took out her mobile phone and initiated a video chat.
The ringing tone went on for a while, and just when Zhang Lan thought Luo Qianyu would still be asleep and not answer, the screen flashed, and her face appeared.
The sky on that side was almost the same as on this side, but Zhang Lan still frowned and asked, "Have you just gotten up, or haven’t you slept yet?"
"I’m not a night owl; of course, I’ve just gotten up. I’ve just finished brushing my teeth!" Luo Qianyu said.
Ling Feng was sitting to the side, outside the range of the camera, so Luo Qianyu hadn’t seen him yet.
Zhang Lan then continued to ask, "What are you getting up so early for?"
"Oh, I need to practice Kung Fu, Mom. Stop asking, I’m a bit busy, so I’m hanging up now!"
Luo Qianyu looked impatient and was about to disconnect after saying this.
Seeing this, Ling Feng quickly grabbed the phone and said as he looked at her on the screen, "Hey, niece, how’s life over there? Not too bad, huh?"
"You!"
Upon seeing Ling Feng, Luo Qianyu’s eyes immediately widened in shock!
She quickly looked down at herself and, seeing she was still in her pajamas, let out a sigh of relief. Then, somewhat irritated, she asked, "Why are you next to my mom?"
Ling Feng smiled, "I came to see Sister Lan, but let’s not talk about that. What are you doing over there? Can you come back?"
"What’s it to you?"
Luo Qianyu rolled her eyes and hung up the video chat without a second word!
Ling Feng was taken aback and felt deeply insulted; he became anxious, "This damn girl, does she need to be disciplined again!"
He immediately called back, but after just a second of ringing, Luo Qianyu directly rejected the call!
"..."
Ling Feng could only smile wryly and turned to look at Zhang Lan, "This girl won’t even give me face!"
Zhang Lan didn’t say a word, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, before she asked, "Just now, you said she needs disciplining again. What did you mean by that?"
Ling Feng was perplexed.
He hadn’t expected her to notice such a small detail.
After being stunned for a moment, Ling Feng smiled, "I just said it off the cuff; it doesn’t mean anything."
Zhang Lan’s eyes were full of suspicion as she looked at him intently, "Ling Feng, tell me the truth. Did something happen between you and Qian Yu?"
Ling Feng: "..."
Facing her intense gaze, Ling Feng knew he could no longer hide the truth and reluctantly said, "Indeed, it happened. I was afraid you’d be upset, so I didn’t mention it."
"You, you’re not...?"
Zhang Lan’s eyes suddenly filled with astonishment and she asked somewhat fearfully.
Ling Feng knew she had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained, "No, Sister Lan, don’t think too much. Last time, this was the situation..."
Since he could no longer keep it a secret, he might as well tell the whole truth.
So, starting with Luo Qianyu asking to meet up with him, Ling Feng told Zhang Lan everything that had happened afterward.
After finishing, he cautiously said, "Sister, I might have been a bit too harsh in teaching her a lesson, but it wasn’t on purpose. Mainly because that girl was too infuriating!"
Zhang Lan: "..."
After a moment of silence, she sighed, "So there was this kind of thing between the two of you. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have let her talk to you!"
Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "I am, after all, considered her elder, so giving her some discipline is only right. I didn’t expect her to not give me the slightest respect, even refusing to answer!"
Seeing Zhang Lan silent, Ling Feng couldn’t help asking, "Sister, Qian Yu said she was going to practice. What is she practicing?"
"I’m not sure either. This girl really has grown tough, she doesn’t listen to me anymore. I’ve stopped giving her money, and she still refuses to back down!" Zhang Lan said helplessly.
Ling Feng thought for a moment, "Don’t you have any friends overseas? Maybe you could ask someone to check on her?"
"I’ve tried that, but that girl is too crafty, she’s changed her address. I don’t even know where she’s living now!" Zhang Lan said with worry.
Ling Feng was astonished, thinking to himself how unbelievable this was!
What was Luo Qianyu planning to do?
He had thought it wasn’t a big deal at first, but after hearing Zhang Lan’s words, he felt more and more that there was something strange about this situation. So he said after a moment of thought, "How about this, I’ll get someone to look into what she’s up to. Maybe we can find something out!"
"That would be best. I haven’t been sleeping well these past few days, fearing that she might get into some trouble overseas!" Zhang Lan said.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng took hold of her hand, "It’s okay, although she’s a bit mischievous, she probably won’t cause any trouble."
"I hope that’s the case."
Zhang Lan said this and then drove the car out of the parking lot.
The two found a place to have dinner and then went to the Luo Family’s home together.
Because of the incident involving Luo Beihai, Luo Nanlin’s true identity had also been exposed, and with Li Yun staying in Shiliu Village, the Luo Family was now entirely managed by Zhang Lan.
This was Ling Feng’s first visit to the Luo Family’s home since the incident with Luo Nanlin.
As the car entered the courtyard, everything was dim, and none of the street lamps had been lit. Zhang Lan’s house in the distance was also pitch dark.
"Why is it so quiet? It doesn’t have the lively atmosphere it had before," Ling Feng asked with confusion.
Zhang Lan replied, "Most of the staff who originally worked here have been let go. Only a few gardeners and security guards remain. With so many people gone, it’s naturally not as lively."
Hearing this, Ling Feng fell silent, sensing that the once-prosperous Luo Family now felt like the sun setting in the west.
He didn’t know what to say and could only sigh.
The car stopped, and as they were about to head upstairs after getting out, Ling Feng’s peripheral vision suddenly caught something. He whipped his head around, "Who’s there?"
A shadow vanished into the darkness in an instant, no longer to be seen.
"What’s wrong?" Zhang Lan asked.
"I saw someone jump out of that window over there and then disappear!" Ling Feng said.
Zhang Lan was startled, a complex look suddenly flashing in her eyes.
Ling Feng was puzzled, "Sister, what’s wrong?"
"That house, it belongs to Luo Qianyang!" Zhang Lan said.
