Ouyang Huihui’s words, almost like a threat, made Ouyang Feifei frown involuntarily.

Before Luo Ziling could react, she replied coldly, “Come with me to Grandpa’s place later, and I hope you’ll repeat exactly what you said today to him. If you truly wish to debase yourself, I’m sure he’ll have some advice for you.”

Ouyang Feifei’s words were indeed powerful, instantly causing Ouyang Huihui’s expression to change.

“Alright, you can go back,” Ouyang Feifei seemed genuinely angry, her face cold as she commanded Ouyang Huihui, “Whatever you want to do next is up to you. You can go back and think it over, and if you feel you’ve done something wrong, come and tell me.”

“Sis, can you not tell Grandpa about this?” Ouyang Huihui’s spirit deflated in the face of Ouyang Feifei’s reaction. “If he finds out, he will definitely scold me.”

“Weren’t you acting all tough? Are you afraid of Grandpa scolding you?” Ouyang Feifei grew even angrier, “Aren’t you the one who wants to debase yourself, to indulge freely?”

Ouyang Huihui opened her mouth but eventually said nothing.

“I really want to see how you plan to debase yourself, whether it’s changing men every day or selling yourself at nightclubs,” Ouyang Feifei eventually couldn’t restrain herself and lashed out at Ouyang Huihui in front of Luo Ziling, “If that’s really the case, then I’ll act as if I never had a sister like you.”

The two sisters began to argue in front of him, no, it wasn’t really an argument but rather Ouyang Feifei scolding Ouyang Huihui. Luo Ziling felt uncomfortable. He had the feeling that he was watching a play, suspecting Ouyang Feifei was putting on an act with the intention of making him not take the matter to heart.

However, it was the first time he had seen Ouyang Feifei so furious.

Seeing Ouyang Feifei appearing very angry, while Ouyang Huihui looked wronged, tears welling up in her eyes but struggling not to let them fall, Luo Ziling eventually felt a bit embarrassed.

“Enough, stop scolding her,” Luo Ziling stepped forward to Ouyang Feifei, gently patted her arm, then turned to face Ouyang Huihui, “If you can apologize to Yang Qingyin in person, I won’t hold it against you. She’s the one who has been hurt the most in this affair. And your sister, because you used my phone to send them hurtful messages, you owe them an apology as well.”

“I won’t apologize,” Ouyang Huihui stubbornly looked at Luo Ziling, “I just won’t apologize to them.”

“You’ve done such a thing, and I’m not holding it against you; all you need to do is apologize to them, and you still refuse?” Luo Ziling’s face turned a bit cold, “It seems like I’m being too agreeable, aren’t I?”

“You really are agreeable,” Ouyang Huihui said sarcastically, “Yang Qingyin might harm you, yet you don’t care in the slightest.”

“I generally don’t quarrel with women, especially beautiful women, unless I’m very angry,” Luo Ziling was not provoked by Ouyang Huihui’s words; instead, he spoke seriously to her, “So if I’m angry with a woman, it means I’m truly angry. If I haven’t exploded in rage, it means I’m holding back. Of course, if some unimportant woman angers me, I probably won’t get angry.”

After finishing his statement, Luo Ziling smiled at Ouyang Feifei, “I’ll be leaving now. You and your sister can continue your chat.”

“I’ll see you out,” Ouyang Feifei, although a bit surprised by Luo Ziling’s sudden departure, did not try to keep him.

Luo Ziling nodded, did not look at Ouyang Huihui again, and left.

Ouyang Feifei followed him out but said nothing.

Ouyang Huihui sat there with her face taut, looking very anxious, wanting to say something to Luo Ziling, but in the end, she remained silent, visibly upset.

As he descended the steps, Luo Ziling remembered something very important and immediately said, “Wait two more days, and I’ll come over to treat you again. I want to see what your condition is like after the treatment is interrupted. When I’m not treating you, I will prescribe a different medicine for you to take for a month, once every two days. This winter and the coming spring are the seasons when asthma is most likely to flare up, but if nothing abnormal happens, you should be essentially fine.”

“Okay, thank you,” Ouyang Feifei sincerely expressed her gratitude and then asked Luo Ziling in a soft voice, “Huihui said she has symptoms like this too. Is she saying that on purpose, or is it true?”

“She does have such symptoms, but they are not as severe as yours. A few simple treatments should suffice.”

“Then, are you still willing to treat her?”

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ziling replied, “How about this, I treat her when you are around. Or, let her come to your place, and I will treat her then. A healer has the heart of a parent. I have no deep hatred with Ouyang Huihui, and if she is ill, I will definitely treat her.”

“Good!” Ouyang Feifei agreed cheerfully.

After another moment of thought, she asked about another matter, “From December 28 to January 2, the Traditional Chinese Medicine conference will be held in Yangcheng. I’ve mentioned this to you before. I wonder if you’re still interested in attending?”

“Of course, I am interested. Such a conference, if given the chance, I want to participate… to network more with colleagues,” Luo Ziling answered without hesitation, “Just tell me the itinerary when the time comes. If you’re too busy, I can go by myself.”

“I will make time,” Ouyang Feifei breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, “I’ll inform you then, and I’ll arrange the air tickets and accommodation in advance.”

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

Ouyang Feifei hesitated for a bit and then brought up another matter, “Grandpa wants you to come over for a meal when you are free. Would you be willing to go?”

Luo Ziling again answered without hesitation, “Of course, I would like to. Whenever it’s convenient for me, I will go with you. We’ll get in touch about it.”

“Great!” A smile appeared on Ouyang Feifei’s face.

Seeing that Ouyang Feifei had no more questions, Luo Ziling took his leave and departed.

After Luo Ziling left, Ouyang Feifei went back inside the house as well.

Ouyang Huihui was sitting there, fuming and looking very aggrieved.

“Luo Ziling doesn’t plan to hold a grudge against you; consider yourself lucky,” Ouyang Feifei said with a cold face upon seeing Ouyang Huihui’s demeanor, “Grandpa is planning to invite him for a meal. If he mentions this matter out of resentment during the meal, you should be able to imagine how grandpa will punish you. You’re already grown up, but you act without thinking. If you put more thought into it, you wouldn’t have done something so utterly foolish. Even if Luo Ziling doesn’t suspect anything, what end result could you achieve? By deception, could you cheat your way into his affections?”

“So now you’re humbling yourself before him. Can you win his affection that way?” Ouyang Huihui retorted defiantly.

“I don’t demand anything; I let nature take its course. Moreover, I haven’t developed any feelings for him as of now; I’m just not willing to give in,” Ouyang Feifei said earnestly to Ouyang Huihui, “Even if I wanted to compete with someone, I would do so openly and honestly. I wouldn’t resort to such despicable acts. I hope you do the same and don’t humiliate yourself.”

“Fine,” Ouyang Huihui agreed readily, “then I will compete with you and Yang Qingyin openly and honestly. I refuse to believe that I can’t beat you. I want to see who will ultimately end up with him.”

“…” Ouyang Feifei looked at Ouyang Huihui, full of fighting spirit, and was at a loss for words.
