Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169: Do You Want Me to Tell the Truth? Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169: Do You Want Me to Tell the Truth? The motorcade soon arrived at the Ling Family Old Mansion.
Seeing Yang Qingyin unexpectedly appear at the Ling Family Old Mansion, Ling Jinhua was quite surprised.
âSir Ling, Ziling and I are classmates, and we are also very good friends. Hearing that you were unwell recently, I came with him to see how you were,â Yang Qingyin followed behind Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling very obediently, stepping forward to greet Sir Ling, âI hope that your health will continue to improve.â
âThe granddaughter of Old Sir Yang, she is quite sensible,â Ling Jinhua chuckled, looking at Yang Qingyin with a kind and benevolent expression: âYour grandfather doesnât know you have come to see me, does he?â
âHe doesnât,â Yang Qingyin honestly answered, âToday, after class with Ziling, I heard that he was going to examine you, so I came along for the fun.â
Ling Jinhua looked at Ling Ruonan and saw her slightly shake her head; he did not ask more and lay down to let Luo Ziling examine and treat him.
While Luo Ziling was treating Ling Jinhua, Yang Qingyin did not stay aside but went with Ling Ruonan to the outside living room for tea.
The past few days when Luo Ziling was treating Ling Jinhua, Ling Ruonan had always been by his side.
When she stayed by his side, she could occasionally help out; her not being there was not a problem either.
While Luo Ziling was treating Ling Jinhua, it was not appropriate for Yang Qingyin to stand on the side and watch, so Ling Ruonan accompanied her outside for tea.
âI heard that you went to the Yang Family Old House again with Lingâer a few days ago?â Ling Ruonan brought up Yang Qingyinâs affairs on her own initiative.
âYes,â Yang Qingyin did not hide anything, and she talked about following her to the Yang Family Old House and helping Yang Yuanshan check his health.
She believed that since Ling Ruonan would ask such things, Luo Ziling must have told her, and there was no need to conceal it.
âHow is your grandfatherâs health now?â Ling Ruonan asked again.
âItâs okay, but there is a small shadow on his lungs. The doctors at the hospital, they donât dare to make any certain diagnosis.â Yang Qingyin lifted her head and looked at Ling Ruonan, âZiling is willing to treat my grandfather and my grandfather does not refuse, but my father and the others are unwilling to accept it.â
âThey think that what Lingâer is doing is merely deliberate. They suspect that by taking the opportunity to treat your grandfather, he wants to bring our families closer, so that your Yang Family can forgive him and accept the fact of your being together, right?â After asking these questions, Ling Ruonanâs eyes shone brightly as she looked at Yang Qingyin.
âThat is probably it,â Yang Qingyin did not deny, âMy dad canât accept these things, so he reacts very intensely. Moreover, they do not believe that my grandfather has caught a serious illness, thinking that Ziling is purposely exaggerating the facts.â
âI hope that no one sets a trap for Lingâer,â Ling Ruonan said with great emphasis: âFor the sake of profit, some people might do unethical things. Iâm not referring to your father, but I donât want Lingâerâs good intentions to be misunderstood or for him to be framed by someone.â
After thinking for a moment, Yang Qingyin understood Ling Ruonanâs real intention and immediately promised: âPlease rest assured, Mrs. Ling, I will definitely find a way to prevent such things from happening. I completely believe that Ziling only wants to fulfill his responsibility as a doctor, and thatâs why he is willing to treat my grandfather. He hopes to improve the relations between the Luo and Yang families by being in contact more often, which is completely understandable, and I fully support it. After all, those things happened so many years ago, who was right and who was wrong is not important anymore; there is no need to dwell on it.â
âIf your parents, as well as your grandfather, could think this way, that would be good,â Ling Ruonan sighed and then said, âAs long as they let our family of three reunite, I do not wish to dwell on the fact that they forced our family apart back then. As long as they donât do anything against us, I wonât have any retaliatory actions.â
âMrs. Ling, I hope so too.â
âAlright, letâs not talk about these things,â Ling Ruonan smiled and shifted the topic: âHow are you now considering your relationship with Ziling?â
Ling Ruonan asked her this question directly, causing Yang Qingyinâs heartbeat to speed up.
She did not answer directly but instead asked Ling Ruonan a question: âI donât know how you, Mrs. Ling, view our relationship?â
âI have told Lingâer that as long as you have chosen each other and wish to be together, I will support you and help you overcome difficulties.â
After thinking for a short time, Yang Qingyin bowed her head slightly and spoke softly: âI wonât hide it from you, Mrs. Ling, in all these years, I have never been attracted to any man, Ziling is the first. I thought that our time together would be very beautiful, but I never expected that our families still have such deep grievances. However, I cherish the wonderful feeling of being together, and as long as that feeling stays, I wish to be with him.â
Ling Ruonan then directly asked, âSo if those feelings sour, you will leave?â
Yang Qingyin was stunned for a moment, then lightly nodded her head, âIf the feeling is gone, then staying together would have no meaning. I think, Ziling feels the same way.â
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Ling Ruonanâs lips, but her tone remained unchanged: âIn the beginning, romantic relationships always feel good, but as time goes on, passion gradually calms down. If two people live together for many years, what may remain in the end is possibly just family affection and a sense of responsibility. According to what youâre saying, if the passion is gone, then everyone would just have to part, right?â
âThatâs not what I mean,â Yang Qingyin quickly explained, knowing Ling Ruonan misunderstood her words: âIâm just saying that if we grow tired of each other and are unwilling to be with one another, then we can only separate. Right now, our feelings are good, and as we know each other deeper, we discover more of each otherâs merits, and the feeling of being together gets better and better, I havenât thought about leaving him. As long as the feeling persists, as long as he is willing to be with me, I am willing to be with him. I donât want to be a burden to him, and I havenât demanded him to treat me in any particular way.â
The sarcasm on Ling Ruonanâs face immediately faded, as she asked again, âHave you ever thought about what you would do if your family firmly disallowed you to be together?â
âAs long as our feelings are there, and he hopes for us to be together, I will strive to resist. Even if my grandfather and father sweep me out the door, I donât care,â Yang Qingyin answered very directly and bravely.
After answering, she questioned Ling Ruonan again: âI donât know whether you, Mrs. Ling, hope for us to be together or to part.â
âDo you want the truth?â Ling Ruonan counter-asked.
Yang Qingyinâs heart skipped a beat, but she still nodded her head.
âThe truth is: of course I hope that you two will part and no longer be together.â
