Chapter 1171 - 1171 1171 Things Are So Complicated

Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171: Things Are So Complicated Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171: Things Are So Complicated Yang Qingyin and Ling Ruonan had left the room after a little more than ten minutes.

After they exited, Luo Ziling stood up, indicating he wanted to go in for another look.

“The Yang family’s young granddaughter is quite good,” said Ling Jinhua with a chuckle as Luo Ziling entered, “She matches you quite well in every aspect.”

Luo Ziling was somewhat surprised. “Great Grandfather, does this mean you approve of us being together?”

Ling Jinhua waved his hand dismissively. “As for that matter, as long as you want it and your parents approve, it doesn’t matter what an old man like me thinks.”

“Many people think Great Grandfather’s opinion is very important. I think so too.”

“Even at my ninetieth birthday, you dared to fight someone. Would you really consider my opinion?” Ling Jinhua narrowed his eyes.

Luo Ziling hurriedly apologized. “Great Grandfather, that was just a moment of impulsiveness on my part, not an intention to ruin your birthday celebrations.”

“Be sure to conduct yourself properly,” said Ling Jinhua, seeming a bit weary as he closed his eyes slightly, “Your father has already taken a position in Jinling. If you want him to return to Yanjing, it can certainly be done in a year or two. If your family of three can finally reunite, then there’s nothing that can be done against someone who wishes otherwise.”

“I’m very grateful to you, Great Grandfather!”

“No need to thank me,” Ling Jinhua waved his hand again, “It’s I who should be thanking you, for prolonging my life.”

“That’s a doctor’s duty!”

“What I’ve done is also a senior’s duty,” Ling Jinhua opened his eyes once more, “I know you wish to strengthen the Luo Family and even make it a prominent clan. I hope you succeed, but I do not wish for your success to threaten the interests of the Ling Family, nor those of other families.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Great Grandfather.”

Ling Jinhua did not ask anything further.

Luo Ziling gave the elder another checkup and massaged a few acupoints. After Ling Jinhua had fallen peacefully asleep, Luo Ziling left the room.

Once the treatment was over, Ling Ruonan took Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin to bid farewell to Huang Chen.

Huang Chen saw them to the door, and only returned inside after they had gotten into their car.

“How come Huang Chen was so courteous today?” Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling with a hint of surprise.

“His mother is ill, and he hopes I can treat her.”

“I see!” Ling Ruonan smiled, then looked at Luo Ziling thoughtfully.

Luo Ziling chuckled.

He hadn’t expected that his medical skills would gain him so much assistance from others.

Without his extraordinary medical skills, he certainly wouldn’t have received such strong support from Li Haiyang.

Nor would he have gained Ling Jinhua’s recognition, not to mention changing Ling Mingrui’s attitude; and Yang Yuanshan’s attitude goes without saying.

It seems, having a specialized skill really is a good thing.

Luo Ziling thought that in the future, he must make good use of his strengths to win over more supporters and even allies.

By the time they left the Ling Family Old Mansion, it was past six o’clock.

Luo Ziling had been hungry for quite a while, his stomach rumbling so loudly that Yang Qingyin couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Ling Ruonan took them to a rather exquisite private restaurant for dinner, and at Ling Ruonan’s request, Wuyue also joined them.

During dinner, Ling Ruonan inquired about Luo Ziling’s participation in the Academic Conference on Integrative Medicine.

Yang Qingyin interjected about Huang Menglan and said that this woman was very strange.

After hearing this, Ling Ruonan slightly furrowed her brows and glanced at Wuyue twice.

Wuyue understood and nodded slightly.

Before the dishes were served, Wuyue excused herself from the table and made several calls outside.

During the meal, Wuyue’s phone rang twice, and each time the ringtone sounded, she stepped outside to answer.

After finishing the meal and when everyone was leaving, Wuyue walked up to Luo Ziling and whispered a reminder, “Young Master, that Huang Menglan might be deliberately trying to get close to you. That’s not her real identity. In Tongji Hospital’s traditional Chinese medicine laboratory, there really is a researcher named Huang Menglan, but a series of strange events have happened to this person recently. After she went to South Korea for facial reconstructive surgery, she completely changed her appearance, and since coming back, she hasn’t gone to work at all.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Ziling immediately frowned.

“I’ll find a way to investigate this matter thoroughly,” said Wuyue with a solemn expression. “You also have to stay away from this person, so as not to be harmed by her.”

“I understand!” Luo Ziling nodded and then asked Wuyue, “Has Wang Zhenjun returned?”

Yang Xiaodong had followed Luo Xusheng to Jinling and was expected to return tomorrow.

Luo Ziling didn’t know where Wang Zhenjun had gone, as he was helping Wuyue with some investigations.

Wuyue replied, “He’s in Yanjing, but he’s busy with some things. I’ll have him work with me to follow up on this matter.”

Luo Ziling didn’t ask anything further.

After dinner, Ling Ruonan told Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin to head back to the university first, as she still had some matters to deal with that night.

So, the two of them parted ways with Ling Ruonan halfway and rode back in Ye Xiaoli’s car.

“Where are we going?” Luo Ziling asked Yang Qingyin.

“I’ll drop you off at the university first, then I need to stop by my house to talk to my mom,” Yang Qingyin took Luo Ziling’s arm and whispered, “There are some things I want to discuss with my mom.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling had actually wanted to go to Yang Qingyin’s place to spend some time alone with her.

After dropping Luo Ziling off at the university gate, Yang Qingyin went home with Ye Xiaoli to talk to Chen Qiaoyu.

With Ling Ruonan having discussed so many matters with her today, Yang Qingyin felt it was necessary to talk to her mother first. Additionally, she wanted to persuade her father to let Luo Ziling treat their grandfather, which is why she planned to stay home for the night.

Meanwhile, as Luo Ziling returned to his dormitory and chatted with his three roommates, in a high-class hotel far from the university, a man and a woman were fiercely “fighting” each other, both without any clothes on.

The outcome of the fight was that the woman clearly had the upper hand, and the man soon couldn’t hold out any longer and surrendered.

The woman wasn’t satisfied but didn’t dare to ask for more, ultimately just lying there, hugging the man’s body.

“Big Young Master, I feel that this arrangement was a bit abrupt,” the woman said softly after a while of silence. “Using someone else’s identity, if it gets investigated, we’ll be exposed.”

“The real Huang Menglan has died accidentally. As long as you don’t expose yourself professionally, there will definitely be no problem,” the man said. “You’re reborn with her identity to come study in Yanjing. You’ll further your studies here and only return after several years. No one will notice anything off. Don’t worry about anything.”

“Then, alright,” the woman didn’t say much more and quietly lay against the man.

But she could never have dreamed that the man was preparing to use her as a disposable pawn, which is why he had arranged this identity for her with obvious flaws.

He planned to destroy the woman and the target after the success of the operation, so he wouldn’t be implicated in any way.

“Still not satisfied?” After lying there for a while, the man smirked lasciviously, “Another friend of mine wants to have a private word with you. Go and spend some time with him!”

The woman felt a surge of anger in her heart but obediently agreed.
