The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 746: Chapter 746: You Can’t Be with Yang Qingyin

Luo Ziling didn’t mind Ling Jinhua’s slightly unfriendly questioning.

After smiling, he said, “In a healer’s eyes, the most important thing is the severity and urgency of the disease. If my mom were also sick, but not seriously, and I happened to encounter a patient in critical condition, I would definitely save the one in critical condition first. Her injuries were very serious, and if not treated in time, she would have certainly died; even if her life wasn’t in danger, she might have suffered lasting effects. For a young girl in the prime of her life, such sequelae could be a lifelong regret. Therefore, I treated her first, temporarily delaying the treatment for Great Grandfather. There’s no other reason but the benevolent heart of a healer, no other implications.”

Hearing Luo Ziling’s explanation, Ling Ruonan, who had wanted to say something, stayed silent, just standing quietly to the side.

“Alright, consider it the ramblings of this old man,” Ling Jinhua chuckled and motioned for Luo Ziling to treat him, “The weather has gotten colder these last few days, I’ve been feeling increasingly uncomfortable, so please work your miraculous healing.”

Luo Ziling didn’t say much and obediently sat down to begin the preparatory work for the treatment.

“You’ve got a temper as foul as Sir Luo’s,” Ling Jinhua mumbled to himself as Luo Ziling was getting ready.

Luo Ziling just smiled and responded, “What I admire most about Grandpa is his unyielding integrity, his fearlessness towards power and pressure, and his parental heart as a healer. Grandpa is my lifelong idol, the person I admire the most.”

“When will he come to Yanjing,” Ling Jinhua said, slowly closing his eyes, “If he does, have him come see me, I want to share a drink of the good old stuff with him.”

Ling Ruonan hurriedly interjected, “Grandpa, if Ziling’s grandpa comes to Yanjing, I will personally bring him to see you.”

Ling Jinhua didn’t say anything else, just nodded slightly.

Having rested well last night and not having expended much energy treating Fang Dongxun today, Luo Ziling was quite vigorous in treating Ling Jinhua, using up most of his strength on him.

The treatment was quite effective, and Ling Jinhua’s complexion looked very good by the end of the session.

As Luo Ziling was about to finish and withdraw the needles, Ling Ruonan called Huang Chen, who had been waiting outside, into the room.

After Luo Ziling mentioned some precautions, and seeing that the old gentleman’s color had improved greatly from the morning, Huang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

He let the two nurses come in to watch over the old gentleman, and personally saw Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling out.

While seeing off Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling, Huang Chen softly said to Ling Ruonan, “Sister Ruonan, if you have time, come over and chat with the chief more often. These past few days others have been visiting quite frequently. The chief’s complexion has been poor, perhaps due to chatting too much with them.”

Ling Ruonan listened but didn’t show any particular reaction, just nodding slightly, “I understand, thank you, Secretary Huang.”

Huang Chen didn’t say anything more, and after seeing Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling off in the car, he went back inside.

“Mom, this Secretary Huang seems to be quite a good person,” Luo Ziling said quietly to Ling Ruonan in the car.

“Huang Chen had a good relationship with your father back then; he learned martial arts from him. His mother was seriously ill at the time, and it was your grandfather’s treatment that saved her,” Ling Ruonan said with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.

Luo Ziling suddenly understood, but didn’t ask anything further.

The motorcade quickly arrived at Ling Mingrui’s other courtyard.

Ling Mingrui had official business that morning, but after accompanying the visiting guests for a meal, he too went home.

When Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan arrived, he had just returned to the other courtyard, talking to Xie Enhua about some matters.

“Ling’er, it has been quite a few days since you last came here,” seeing Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan enter, Xie Enhua immediately stood up and greeted them, “Stay for dinner tonight. I have prepared dishes you both like. Your grandfather is also rarely home for dinner, will you join him for a drink?”

“Sure,” Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan exchanged a glance, not expecting an unusual look in Ling Ruonan’s eyes before Luo Ziling readily agreed, “I haven’t visited my grandmother for several days because I’ve been helping to rescue a critically injured patient, so I didn’t dare to leave.”

“No worries, just come and visit your grandmother when you have the time in the future.”

As Xie Enhua welcomed Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling into the house, Ling Mingrui simply glanced at the three of them and said indifferently, “Nannan has arrived.”

“Dad, I brought Ling’er here to check on you, we just came from grandfather’s place,” Ling Ruonan said with a smile as she sat down beside Ling Mingrui and spoke softly, “Grandfather’s recovery is going well. Thankfully we let Ziling go over to treat him in time, otherwise, the outcome might not have been so good. Yesterday, Secretary Huang called me to say that doctors from Hospital 401 checked on grandfather and his condition is a lot better than we expected.”

“His medical skills are not bad,” Ling Mingrui glanced at Luo Ziling and gave a slight smile, then stood up, “It’s still early, start the treatment for me first.”

Luo Ziling naturally agreed.

While treating Ling Mingrui, Luo Ziling thought his grandfather might take the opportunity to speak with him privately, but to his surprise, Ling Mingrui remained silent throughout the treatment.

During the treatment, Ling Mingrui fell asleep and did not wake up even when the treatment was over.

Although he had a good night’s sleep yesterday, treating three people today still left Luo Ziling feeling quite tired. By the time he finished treating Ling Mingrui, his forehead was covered in sweat and his face was a little pale.

Ling Ruonan and Xie Enhua had also sensed that there was something the two men needed to discuss, so they did not come in during the treatment. It wasn’t until Luo Ziling walked out with a sweaty forehead and pale face that they stood up from where they sat on the sofa chatting.

Seeing Luo Ziling looking very tired, Ling Ruonan couldn’t help feeling distressed and quickly stepped forward to wipe his sweat and help him sit down.

Xie Enhua also brought some snacks and fruits for Luo Ziling, urging him to eat something right away.

The care from his mother and grandmother warmed Luo Ziling’s heart, and he instantly felt less fatigued.

Watching Luo Ziling wolf down the food, Xie Enhua hesitated for a moment before bringing up a matter with him.

“Ling’er, just now your mother and I were discussing your situation with Yang Qingyin,” Xie Enhua glanced at Ling Ruonan before continuing, “In fact, your grandmother also feels that the two of you together isn’t quite suitable, given the unresolved animosity between your parents and the Yang Family. Neither Yang Yunlin nor Yang Yuanshan will accept you and Yang Qingyin being together. If you two are determined to be together, this lifetime might be even more turbulent than what your mother and father went through. It’s okay for you to date her, but if you want to marry her and start a family, you should think it over carefully. Both your mother and your grandmother hope you can have a smooth life without so many difficulties.”

Not expecting his grandmother to talk to him about this today, Luo Ziling’s heart sank upon seeing the strange look in Ling Ruonan’s eyes.
