The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 407

Chapter 407: Chapter 407 This Woman is Very Impressive

(Second update)

Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling to detail everything that had happened during his interaction with Li Haiyang.

Luo Ziling didn’t refuse and spoke candidly.

After hearing what Luo Ziling had said, Ling Ruonan felt even more reassured. She then instructed Luo Ziling to prepare well, as when it was time to return to the old house with her, he must make a remarkable impression, especially on Ling Jinhua and Ling Qirui.

Those two elders were the decisive figures in the Ling Family’s fate. The futures of the Ling Family’s younger generation were also entirely in their hands.

“It’s not about making them accept you back into the Ling Family or recognize you as one of its members,” Ling Ruonan patiently explained, worried that Luo Ziling might become defiant after his recent remarks, “but to show them a remarkable version of yourself. If you perform well, they will regard you differently, and they might even help you succeed. With their help, your endeavors will go much more smoothly. Even if other members of the Ling Family are displeased with you, they wouldn’t dare to harm you openly.”

“Mom, I’ll remember that. I’ll definitely put on an outstanding performance and won’t let you down,” Luo Ziling confidently assured, feeling that as long as he didn’t shy away in the presence of Ling Jinhua and Ling Qirui, showing his true character, they would surely take notice of him.

This was the lesson he had learned after a few meetings with Li Haiyang. Luo Ziling believed that the more he interacted with people of high status, the more he had to showcase his personality, so that they would regard him differently and recognize his abilities.

Seeing Luo Ziling brimming with confidence, Ling Ruonan realized her son wasn’t afraid to meet the Ling Family members with her and breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Ziling massaged Ling Ruonan again and then asked in a low voice, “Mom, if many of the incidents, including the assassination attempt on me and the issues at Ouyang Huihui’s birthday party, were caused by the Ling Family, who do you think would be behind it?”

“If it really is the work of the Ling Family, it is undoubtedly your uncle Ling Zhengping and his son Ling Haining,” Ling Ruonan stated her judgment without hesitation, then told Luo Ziling about how Ling Haining was placed in the Northern Group.

Last time, Ling Ruonan had only mentioned it briefly, but today, she went into great detail.

This was something Ling Qirui had agreed to, which was the most heartbreaking matter for Ling Ruonan.

It looked like her father was also guarding against her— she shared this with Luo Ziling as well.

“Mom, I feel that it’s not that grandfather has changed his attitude towards you, but rather, he trusts you can handle the situation. How could Ling Haining be a match for you? Precisely because he’s no match, grandfather has no concerns about placing him by your side. By agreeing to your brother’s request, he could appease your brother while also testing your capabilities. This way, the family conflicts can be simply resolved and subdued, showcasing his competence, and no one would have grievances against him at that time,” Luo Ziling posited, deliberately avoiding the term “uncle” because of his unfavorable impression of Ling Zhengping.

After listening to Luo Ziling’s analysis, Ling Ruonan was even more surprised and after giving it some thought, she actually agreed with what he had said.

“It seems I’ve underestimated you,” Ling Ruonan patted Luo Ziling’s arm with a happy smile.

Luo Ziling also smiled happily, “Mom, aren’t my massaging skills pretty good? Did you underestimate me in this as well?”

“Both are good,” Ling Ruonan took Luo Ziling’s hand, urging him to sit down, “Alright, I’m feeling very comfortable now, you sit and rest for a while. Your wounds haven’t fully healed, pay attention and don’t overexert yourself. Nothing is more important than your health.”

“Thanks, Mom,” Luo Ziling obediently sat down, letting Ling Ruonan hold his hand.

The two of them didn’t bring up the family grievances again, instead, they talked about Luo Ziling’s life at school.

Luo Ziling’s school life was naturally of great concern to Ling Ruonan.

Originally, she had arranged for someone at the school to gather information about Luo Ziling. But after they acknowledged each other as family, she withdrew her arrangement because they could meet often and there was no need to learn about Luo Ziling’s matters through someone else.

Many things, when spoken of by Luo Ziling himself, had a more intimate taste of family affection than when learned through the mouths of others.

After talking for a while, the mother and son also went into the kitchen together to prepare dinner.

Luo Ziling volunteered eagerly to cook, and Ling Ruonan agreed, simply acting as an assistant.

Because they cooked dinner together, the mother and son shared a very warm meal.

After finishing dinner, the two sat and chatted for a while. As it was nearly seven-thirty, Luo Ziling said he wanted to watch television as there was a program related to him tonight. After the joint news broadcast ended and a few commercials aired, it was Chen Xiaoyi’s “Today’s Affairs” segment.

This episode was a follow-up interview and report on Luo Ziling, who had recently been called “the most handsome weightlifting brother” by many netizens.

Many scenes that took place at Yintai Department Store were replayed, as well as Chen Xiaoyi’s visit to Luo Ziling’s school, and Luo Ziling’s own attitude and thoughts on the matter, which were all broadcast on the program.

“Mom, do I look handsome or what? I’m not wearing makeup!” Luo Ziling said with a laugh, teasingly, as Ling Ruonan watched the program intently, “You’re so beautiful, it’s no surprise your son is astoundingly handsome!”

“You rascal, always joking around. However, your popularity will surely increase after this program airs. That’s both a good thing and a bad thing, as everyone will start paying attention to you,” Ling Ruonan said with a smile to Luo Ziling, “Was it Chen Xiaoyi who came to interview you personally?”

“Yes,” Luo Ziling nodded, “the school leaders accompanied her to the class, and there was no way for me to avoid it.”

After thinking for a moment, Ling Ruonan asked further, “Does she know about your identity?”

“She probably doesn’t,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “She didn’t ask me too much about my family situation, just wanted to know about my school life, and what I thought during and after the rescue. They wanted to produce a segment that promoted positive energy, saying they hoped it would inspire more people to lend a helping hand and take pleasure in aiding others. That’s why I agreed to the interview.”

“Hmm, if that’s the case, then that’s fine,” Ling Ruonan seemed contemplative.

“Mom, what’s the matter?” Luo Ziling sensed something was off with Ling Ruonan.

“It’s nothing,” Ling Ruonan smiled, “I’m just worried you might make too many enemies and be unable to cope with them, affecting your normal life.”

“Mom, I’ll be careful.”

“That woman is formidable. After the program airs, don’t associate with her,” Ling Ruonan pointed at the beautiful Chen Xiaoyi on the television, who one couldn’t help but give a few extra looks.

Luo Ziling suddenly admired his mother’s insight and nodded in agreement, “Indeed, I also think she’s a very formidable woman, suited for this kind of program.”

Ling Ruonan looked at Luo Ziling, seemingly wanting to say more, but ultimately, she didn’t say much else.
