(Chapter Four)
It is said that the spectator sees the chess game better than the player.
Ling Ruonan's greatest hope was for Luo Ziling to gain the recognition and acceptance of the elders of the Ling Family. So, when they began to regard Luo Ziling with new respect, and didn't even get angry when Luo Ziling openly defied them, she thought that Luo Ziling's outstanding abilities had won their approval. Plus, she believed that their sense of guilt made them want to make amends, which made her heart leap with joy.
She had hardly considered the implications of Luo Ziling's words until she heard them.
On reflection, especially considering what had happened before the conflict, Ling Ruonan became even more convinced of what Luo Ziling had said.
It was very likely the genuine thoughts of Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui.
