The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Let Your Grandfather Come Back

The motorcade soon arrived at the Northern Group headquarters.

As the car was driving in, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but press against the car window, staring intently at the towering headquarters building, and laughed while saying to Ling Ruonan, “Mom, your headquarters is really high-end, classy, and top-grade. When the opportunity arises, I’ll come for a good visit.”

“When the opportunity comes, I will personally accompany you on the tour,” Ling Ruonan said with a bit of bittersweetness in her laugh, yet she firmly added, “I hope you can soon make a public appearance at the Northern Group headquarters as my son.”

“Mom, with my good looks, I’m bound to make those beauties at your company scream. When that happens, having enhanced your reputation, you should definitely reward me well, like treating me to a big meal, how about that?”

Ling Ruonan was instantly amused by Luo Ziling, “Of course, there’s no problem. Whatever you want to eat, Mom will take you there.”

“You promised, no backing out,” Luo Ziling extended his pinky to Ling Ruonan, “Let’s make it a pinky promise.”

...

Ling Ruonan’s laughter grew even more joyous, and she actually followed through with the pinky promise in front of the driver and Wuyue.

Seeing Luo Ziling in the rearview mirror trying to cheer up Ling Ruonan, Wuyue, sitting in the passenger seat, also felt warmth in her heart. Initially, she was a bit jealous of Luo Ziling because his arrival had taken away many things that used to be hers, such as Ling Ruonan’s care and trust. But seeing the happy smiles that Ling Ruonan often showed after reuniting with Luo Ziling, she felt genuinely happy as well.

Wuyue understood that the smiles Ling Ruonan showed in front of Luo Ziling came from genuine happiness, something she had never seen before his arrival. Ling Ruonan had completely transformed, her spirit was considerably better than before, and she had become even more beautiful, which of course, made Wuyue very happy.

Usually, when Ling Ruonan came to the company for work, the motorcade would mostly stop in front of the company, walk through the lobby on the first floor, and then take the dedicated elevator. Her purpose in doing so was naturally to showcase her imposing presence and to show her diligence to the employees. But this time, the motorcade didn’t stop in front of the lobby on the first floor, it went directly to the underground parking lot.

After parking at the reserved space next to the exclusive elevator in the underground parking, Ling Ruonan and Wuyue got out of the car together with Wang Zhenjun, Yang Xiaodong, and another two female bodyguards, and walked into the elevator.

Luo Ziling was still sitting in the car, the driver hadn’t gotten out, and the engine was still running; the two of them started chatting about this and that. After a while, Luo Ziling had learned about the driver’s general situation.

The driver, who had served Ling Ruonan for two years, indeed was a subordinate of Yang Xiaodong, a soldier personally trained by him. However, he had to retire after getting injured while on a mission.

Listening to the driver say he could drive all kinds of vehicles, including armored vehicles, as well as fly helicopters and fighter jets, Luo Ziling was a bit dumbfounded. Such a versatile talent was assigned by Luo Xu to drive for Ling Ruonan, which seemed like quite a waste.

However, from this point, one could see how much Luo Xu cared for Ling Ruonan.

The driver was not a talkative person, often very quiet, but under the influence of Luo Ziling’s enthusiasm, the two of them still engaged in a warm conversation for half an hour. After the talk, the driver had a deeper impression of Luo Ziling, and Luo Ziling also had a lasting impression of the driver. He believed that no matter what Ling Ruonan encountered, the driver would do everything possible to bring her to safety.

While their conversation had not yet ended, Ling Ruonan and Wuyue came out of the elevator, but Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun were nowhere to be seen.

“They are still inside, they will leave by themselves later,” without waiting for Luo Ziling to ask, Ling Ruonan proactively explained, “Anyway, don’t worry about them.”

“Then let’s go,” Luo Ziling certainly did not worry about Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun encountering trouble, so he did not ask further, “It’s still early, there’s plenty of time to treat Great Grandfather and grandfather.”

Ling Ruonan also immediately ordered Wuyue to go to the old residence right now.

The car smoothly exited the underground parking lot of the Northern Group and headed directly towards the old residence.

When they arrived at the old residence, Ling Jinhua was lying in the courtyard soaking up the sun, with a nurse kneading his body.

“Grandfather, I’ve brought Ziling over,” Ling Ruonan stepped forward and asked with concern, “How are you feeling today?”

“I slept well last night, and after sunbathing for a while today, I feel even more spirited,” Ling Jinhua chuckled and motioned for Ling Ruonan and the other nurse to help him sit up.

Luo Ziling also stepped forward to say hello and briefly discussed the treatment for the day.

“No rush,” Ling Jinhua waved his hand at Luo Ziling, indicating for him and Ruonan to sit down first and have a chat.

The nurse tactfully left the courtyard, and Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling each took a stool to sit down next to Ling Jinhua.

“Grandfather, please feel free to give any instructions,” Ling Ruonan said with a smile after sitting down, “And if you have any requests regarding the treatment, feel free to tell Ziling.”

“Has your grandfather been to Yanjing?” Ling Jinhua looked at Luo Ziling and asked directly, “I mean in recent times.”

“Grandfather’s whereabouts are often mysterious, and I don’t know where he is now,” Luo Ziling said with a wry smile, “He indeed came to Yanjing a few days ago. After I started school here, I faced several assassination attempts. When he found out, he rushed over in a panic to visit me and left only after seeing that I was safe. Of course, if something had happened to me, I think my grandfather would definitely have been furious.”

“If he wants to return to Yanjing, then let him come back,” Ling Jinhua seemed to pay no attention to Luo Ziling’s words and said to himself as if musing, “It’s been many years since I last saw him. If he comes back, I’ll invite him for a drink.”

Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan were both a bit surprised by Ling Jinhua’s words, but Ling Jinhua didn’t say much else and after those few sentences, he allowed Luo Ziling to start his treatment.

Luo Ziling didn’t ask Ling Jinhua to return to the room but conducted the treatment there in the sunlight.

During Ling Jinhua’s last birthday, Luo Ziling had administered a pill to him, but thereafter, he didn’t give him any more medicine.

Today, after the treatment, Luo Ziling fed Ling Jinhua another pill and mentioned that the decision when to take the next one would still depend on the changes in Ling Jinhua’s health. Ling Jinhua didn’t ask much, and he quickly fell asleep after the treatment was over.

Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan didn’t stay much longer. After calling the nurses in to take care of him and explaining the situation to Secretary Huang Chen, they also left the old residence.

As the car left the old residence, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but ask Ling Ruonan, “Mom, Great Grandfather specifically mentioned Grandfather’s matter today, what does it really mean?”

“Perhaps, the old man is willing to let your grandfather and your dad both return to Yanjing!” Ling Ruonan said, her eyes slightly reddening as she spoke.
