Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: The Day I Invite Her for Tea Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: The Day I Invite Her for Tea With Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling took the elevator down and sneezed heavily, followed by another one.
âDo you feel cold?â Yang Qingyin asked with concern.
âIt seems like someone is speaking ill of me behind my back!â Luo Ziling said with a self-deprecating smile.
âMaybe it was that beauty just now, cursing you for not giving her the chance to spend a wonderful night with you.â Yang Qingyin said, and took the opportunity to pinch his arm while she was holding it.
Luo Ziling quickly grabbed her hand.
At that moment, Luo Zilingâs phone rang. It was Ling Ruonan calling, and he answered immediately.
âLingâer, have you finished your class?â As soon as he answered, Ling Ruonanâs gentle voice came through.
Luo Ziling suddenly remembered that he had promised Ling Ruonan to go to the old mansion today to treat Ling Jinhua.
But after class today, he was a bit dizzy from the scent of Huang Menglan and had actually forgotten about it.
When Yang Qingyin called him to say she wanted to come listen to his class, he hadnât thought about it either.
He felt a headache coming on.
Still, he honestly told Ling Ruonan that he was with Yang Qingyin.
Hearing Luo Ziling say he was with Yang Qingyin, Ling Ruonan paused for a moment before saying, âWhy donât you ask her if she wants to go to the Ling Family Old Mansion to visit Old Mr. Ling? Get back to me later.â
With that, Ling Ruonan hung up first.
While Luo Ziling was talking to Ling Ruonan, Yang Qingyin stood by. She pretty much heard the entire conversation.
âSenior, I actually forgot something. I promised my mom to go to the old mansion today to help treat my great grandfather,â Luo Ziling admitted his mistake quickly and then asked Yang Qingyin, âMy mom is asking if youâd like to come see my great grandfather.â
âIt seems you were dazzled by Miss Huang, the great beauty,â Yang Qingyin said with a teasing look at Luo Ziling. âOtherwise, how could you forget something so important?â
Luo Ziling looked very embarrassed, indeed attracted by the charm Huang Menglan emitted, enough to forget such an important matter.
But he would never admit to that.
He hugged Yang Qingyin and cheekily asked, âSenior, what do you think? Would you like to come with me?â
âDo you want me to go?â Yang Qingyin asked seriously, without any hint of jealousy, âDo you hope Iâd back off knowing the difficulty, or come along?â
âIâve met your grandfather before, and you coming to meet Old Mr. Ling from the Ling family isnât really a big deal,â Luo Ziling grinned, âReally, I donât know whatâs best. Whether you go or not, there are pros and cons.â
After thinking for a moment, Yang Qingyin said, âAlright, Iâll go with you. Just hope Old Mr. Ling doesnât kick me out!â
âThat definitely wonât happen,â Luo Ziling shook his head firmly.
âThen letâs go,â Yang Qingyin said, taking Luo Zilingâs hand and heading towards the parking area.
Wu Xiaoli was waiting for them in the car. After they got in the car, Luo Ziling directed Ye Xiaoli to head to the headquarters of the Northern Group.
As Ye Xiaoli drove away from Yan University Peopleâs Hospital, Luo Ziling called Ling Ruonan back to explain the situation.
âOkay, then come to the Northern Group headquarters first,â Ling Ruonan didnât say much else.
On the way, Yang Qingyin bought some health supplements suitable for elderly people, planning to give them as a gift to Ling Jinhua.
These health supplements were purchased under Luo Zilingâs guidance.
It was Yang Qingyinâs first time visiting the headquarters of Northern Group, and perhaps feeling a bit presumptuous, she seemed a little nervous as she entered the private elevator with Luo Ziling. âJunior, will your mom be mad at me?â
âNo, she wonât,â Luo Ziling shook his head, âWith me here, donât worry about anything.â
âOkay,â Yang Qingyin grabbed Luo Zilingâs hand, intertwining their fingers, âAnyway, if your mom scolds me, you have to protect me; if your great grandfather blames me, you also have to help me.â
âIf I donât help you, who will I help?â
âHave you arranged our trip plan yet?â As the elevator was about to reach the target floor, Yang Qingyin asked abruptly.
âNo need to plan,â Luo Ziling smiled, âThereâs about ten days left until the holiday starts. Whenever youâre ready, weâll set off. Donât worry about anything else.â
âOkay!â Yang Qingyin didnât object either.
When Luo Ziling brought Yang Qingyin into the CEOâs office, everyone who saw them, including Li Jing, looked surprised. Luo Ziling didnât introduce Yang Qingyin to everyone, instead, he directly pulled her into Ling Ruonanâs office.
It was still early when Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin entered Ling Ruonanâs office, just half-past four.
This afternoonâs class was supposed to end at five oâclock, but Luo Zilingâs lecture, taking less than an hour, had ended much earlier than yesterday when it was scheduled for two hours.
âMrs. Ling, I went to Zilingâs lecture today without knowing he was going to join you to treat Old Mr. Ling, and I was even planning to invite him to dinner,â Yang Qingyin greeted Ling Ruonan and voluntarily explained todayâs events, including her intentions, âItâs been many years since I last saw Old Mr. Ling; having heard he was unwell recently, itâs only right for the younger generation to visit.â
âThen go ahead,â Ling Ruonan didnât say much and immediately ordered Wuyue to prepare the car.
After the last few days, Night North barâs affairs had returned to normal, and Wuyue no longer needed to manage it, thus taking back her original responsibilities.
When Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin came in, she was helping Ling Ruonan with some work and merely nodded politely to greet them. However, the observant Yang Qingyin still felt a slight hostility in Wuyueâs gaze towards her.
This made Yang Qingyin a bit upset; she thought it was Wuyueâs reaction to knowing Ling Ruonanâs attitude.
Soon, Wuyue returned to report that the car was ready and they could leave.
Ling Ruonan let Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin ride in the same car as hers, and they naturally didnât object.
During the ride to the Ling Family Old Mansion, Ling Ruonan didnât ignore Yang Qingyin, continuously engaging her in conversation.
After a while, Ling Ruonan suddenly asked Yang Qingyin, âIs your mother busy these days?â
Yang Qingyin was a bit taken aback as she hadnât expected Ling Ruonan to suddenly ask about her mother.
âShe shouldnât be busy,â she answered somewhat awkwardly.
âOne day Iâll invite her for tea,â Ling Ruonan said calmly.
Ling Ruonanâs words surprised both Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling.
Ling Ruonan seeking out Chen Qiaoyu wouldnât just be for a simple tea.
What could the two women want to talk about?
