The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Talking to You About the Engagement
 

(Fifth update)

Ouyang Feifei had never been fond of talking much, but still, when she was alone with Luo Ziling, she would take the initiative to start a conversation.

“You attended your great grandfather’s birthday celebration, didn’t you? What was their reaction?” Ouyang Feifei asked Luo Ziling.

Actually, this was what she was most concerned about, she had just been holding back from asking.

Luo Ziling attending Ling Jinhua’s birthday banquet and how the Ling Family members treated him were crucial to whether or not Luo Ziling could be accepted by the Ling Family. She had wanted to inquire about this matter for a long time, of course, she hoped even more that Luo Ziling would take the initiative to tell her about that day.

Unfortunately, Luo Ziling said nothing, which left her a bit disappointed.

Therefore, after discussing the academic event they attended today, she brought up the matter herself.

“I need to continue treating the old master until he recovers,” Luo Ziling said very implicitly, “Once I have time, my mother plans to take me to treat her parents. The elders are getting on in years, especially my grandmother, who has been sleeping poorly lately.”

Luo Ziling’s words successfully led Ouyang Feifei to misunderstand.

She thought that Luo Ziling had been completely accepted by the Ling Family members.

Ling Ruonan took Luo Ziling to attend Ling Jinhua’s birthday banquet, and Ling Jinhua even had Luo Ziling continue to treat him, which clearly meant the Ling Family was willing to accept Luo Ziling again. If the Ling Family members did not accept him, why would Ling Jinhua allow Luo Ziling to continue treating him?

The fact that Ling Mingrui and Xie Enhua also asked for Luo Ziling’s help in regulating their health meant the same thing.

From any perspective, Ouyang Feifei was very pleased to see Luo Ziling being accepted by the Ling Family.

Originally, the reason Great Grandfather Ouyang Lingyun wanted to form a matrimonial alliance with the Luo Family was precisely because Luo Ziling could be reaccepted by the Ling Family.

If Luo Ziling was reaccepted by the Ling Family, the union between the two would bring significant political benefits to the Ouyang Family. The political capital of the Ling Family could be utilized, and at the very least, the Ouyang Family wouldn’t have to worry about losing anything due to a lack of political capital.

With Luo Ziling receiving special treatment from the elderly of the Ling Family and his mother, Ling Ruonan being so formidable, Ouyang Feifei knew that if she could really be with Luo Ziling, it would be of great help to the Ouyang Family and to herself personally. Even if the two of them couldn’t be together, but becoming close friends and receiving help or working together in a very intimate manner would bring infinite benefits to the Ouyang Family.

Hence, after hearing what Luo Ziling had said, Ouyang Feifei was still quite happy.

In her happiness, she volunteered to drive Luo Ziling back to Ling Ruonan’s place.

When leaving the venue, Luo Ziling told Ouyang Feifei that he was going to his mother, Ling Ruonan’s, place and asked her to drop him at a certain intersection, saying he could make it there on his own.

Although Luo Ziling did not ask her to accompany him, Ouyang Feifei still prepared to take Luo Ziling to the community where Ling Ruonan lived.

After hearing Luo Ziling’s words just now, Ouyang Feifei changed her mind again, planning to go with Luo Ziling to meet Ling Ruonan.

There were some things she wanted to discuss with Ling Ruonan, such as the upcoming collaboration with Luo Ziling. Of course, Ouyang Feifei didn’t just want to talk about the collaboration, she also wanted to use the meeting and conversation to change Ling Ruonan’s attitude towards her and increase their closeness.

Because of the misunderstandings that occurred when Luo Ziling first arrived in Yanjing, Ouyang Feifei knew that Ling Ruonan had a poor impression of both her and Ouyang Huihui. Ling Ruonan had directly expressed her disdain, bluntly saying that she was not suitable for Luo Ziling, which deeply hurt Ouyang Feifei and made her very angry. She could not accept being viewed this way by Ling Ruonan and wanted to change her impression, so she chose to take the initiative to reach out.

After a few encounters, she felt Ling Ruonan’s attitude towards her gradually changing, so she wanted to continue making contact proactively.

Hearing Ouyang Feifei’s request, Luo Ziling eventually did not refuse and agreed to meet Ling Ruonan with her.

Thus, Ouyang Feifei’s motorcade drove directly into the neighborhood.

For someone of her status, except for some very sensitive areas, she would basically not be stopped, and the Rolls-Royce she rode in, as well as the vehicle’s license plate, served as the best passes.

On the way to Ling Ruonan’s place, Luo Ziling sent a message to Ling Ruonan, telling her that Ouyang Feifei would visit, and mentioned that Ouyang Feifei had asked him about the happenings at the birthday celebration the day before, but he did not share with Ouyang Feifei the information regarding the dispute with the descendants of the Ling Family and other related matters.

Luo Ziling hoped that Ling Ruonan would not misunderstand, and he also hoped that she would not tell Ouyang Feifei about the fight he had gotten into that day.

When Ouyang Feifei’s elongated Rolls-Royce stopped, Wang Qing quickly jumped down from the passenger seat and opened the door for Ouyang Feifei.

Luo Ziling had already opened the car door and got out from the other side.

Wuyue stood at the entrance to greet them and informed the disembarked Ouyang Feifei and Luo Ziling that Ling Ruonan was taking a shower and would be down soon.

Assuming the role of the host, Luo Ziling invited Ouyang Feifei inside to sit down, and after Wuyue had prepared tea for the two, he left the living room. Once seated, Luo Ziling glanced at the clock on the wall, noting that it was exactly five o’clock.

Ling Ruonan had not gone to the office that afternoon but had taken the day off at home. Had Luo Ziling not known that Ling Ruonan was resting at home, he would not have brought Ouyang Feifei over at this time.

After making small talk with Ouyang Feifei for a moment, Ling Ruonan came downstairs, freshly showered.

At the time Luo Ziling had sent the message to Ling Ruonan, she was already in the shower, and thus she did not know about Ouyang Feifei’s planned visit. However, before coming downstairs, she checked her phone in case Luo Ziling had sent her a message or called.

Indeed, she found Luo Ziling’s message on her phone and had a rough idea of Ouyang Feifei’s purpose for the visit.

Wuyue also became aware of Ouyang Feifei’s visit only after receiving a report from other bodyguards.

“Mr. Ling, today I attended a medical academic conference with Ziling, and Ziling even spoke at the meeting,” Ouyang Feifei started explaining her purpose for the visit before Ling Ruonan could inquire, “I’m sure Mr. Ling is aware that our Ouyang Group is now collaborating with Ziling. After today’s conference, Ziling’s reputation in the medical field has greatly improved, making many things easier to handle in the future. There are some matters that I would like to discuss face-to-face with Mr. Ling, and I hope you don’t mind my presumptuous visit.”

“Not at all,” Ling Ruonan, whose hair was still slightly damp and dressed only in casual home attire, said with a faint smile, “I appreciate President Ouyang’s care for Ziling. There are indeed some matters I wish to discuss with you, and since you are here today, let’s talk.”

“Thank you, Mr. Ling,” Ouyang Feifei breathed a sigh of relief.

“First, I want to talk to you about your engagement to Ziling.”@@novelbin@@

Ling Ruonan’s statement caught the just-relaxed Ouyang Feifei off guard.

Even Luo Ziling, who was drinking tea, almost choked.
