When the knocking on the door sounded, Yang Qingyin, whom Luo Ziling helped up from the bed, was still in the bathroom tidying her hair.
"I’ll get the door!" Luo Ziling didn’t seem too flustered. He smiled and reassured Yang Qingyin, "I’m here to help with your treatment, and your dad can’t beat me, so don’t worry."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Yang Qingyin glared angrily at Luo Ziling, "If you start fighting, won’t I be the one who gets hurt the most?"
"I’ll try not to argue with him; as long as your dad doesn’t argue with me, I definitely won’t argue with him!"
"You’re speaking like a tongue twister; hurry up and open the door." Yang Qingyin glared at Luo Ziling again.
Luo Ziling chuckled and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Luo Ziling saw Chen Qiaoyu and Yang Yunlin, who was following behind.
Seeing Luo Ziling there, Chen Qiaoyu wasn’t surprised, but Yang Yunlin’s expression noticeably changed.
"Mrs. Chen, Mr. Yang!" Luo Ziling greeted them without being overbearing or humble, and explained, "I just helped Qingyin with a treatment."
"Thank you so much!" Chen Qiaoyu said as she changed her shoes, "How is Qingyin’s condition?"
"It’s not a big deal anymore. With a few more treatments, she’ll be completely fine!" Luo Ziling stepped aside, retreated into the room, and continued, "Luckily, the treatment was timely; otherwise, Qingyin’s illness would have been troublesome. Even if cured, it would leave permanent aftereffects."
"It’s fortunate to have you around; I really don’t know how to thank you!" Chen Qiaoyu smiled and expressed her gratitude. Then she said to Yang Yunlin, "Old Yang, there’s no specific medicine for this type of viral infection. Even the major hospitals in Yanjing have no targeted treatments. If it weren’t for Ziling’s help, Qingyin would be in trouble. A few days ago, Ziling went to Tanzhou and cured Dad’s illness, and today he helped Qingyin. We must thank him properly."
Yang Yunlin just grunted without showing much expression.
Seeing this, Luo Ziling quickly smiled and said to Chen Qiaoyu, "Auntie, it’s alright. Even if Qingyin’s dad doesn’t want to thank me, don’t force him. After all, even if he sees me as an enemy, I will continue to help Qingyin with her treatment."
Hearing this, Yang Yunlin was instantly furious.
The anger from being humiliated and threatened by Luo Xusheng in the morning had not yet completely dissipated, and now he was being ridiculed by Luo Ziling. He really didn’t know how to express his fury.
"Qingyin should avoid too much activity. I told her to lie down and rest as much as possible. You can go upstairs to see her." Luo Ziling completely ignored Yang Yunlin’s anger and said to Chen Qiaoyu, "But don’t talk too much to her, and don’t upset her."
"Okay!" Chen Qiaoyu agreed and then pulled Yang Yunlin to go see Yang Qingyin.
Yang Qingyin was standing at her room door. Seeing Yang Yunlin and Chen Qiaoyu coming up, she immediately stepped forward to greet them, calling out, "Dad, Mom!"
"Qingyin, why are you up? Quickly lie down on the bed!" Chen Qiaoyu was suddenly worried, took two steps forward, and supported Yang Qingyin, "Ziling said you need to rest quietly, so go lie down quickly!"
"Alright!" Yang Qingyin peeked at Luo Ziling, and seeing that he wasn’t coming up, she didn’t mind.
With Chen Qiaoyu’s assistance, Yang Qingyin returned to the bed and lay down.
Chen Qiaoyu sat by the bed, while Yang Yunlin stood on one side with a sullen face.
"Yin’er, how are you feeling?" Chen Qiaoyu asked with concern, "I originally planned to come a bit later, but your dad happened to be free, so we came together to see you."
"I’m fine now!" Yang Qingyin shook her head with a smile, "With Ziling’s help in treatment, you don’t need to worry."
"That’s good!" Chen Qiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Yang Yunlin and said, "Old Yang, don’t just stand there, sit down and chat with Qingyin."
Yang Yunlin hesitated for a moment but eventually sat down on a chair.
"Dad, did Ziling’s father come to see you today?" Yang Qingyin took the initiative to ask Yang Yunlin.
"Hmph!" Yang Yunlin grunted, anger flashing in his eyes.
"Old Yang, what exactly did you talk about? Tell us!" Chen Qiaoyu said, "It’s better to resolve issues rather than create them. Ziling has helped us so much, and their family was separated for so many years before reuniting. The past is gone, so let bygones be bygones. Both the old man and the Ling family are discussing the marriage between Ziling and Qingyin. Why are you still like this?"
Yang Yunlin wanted to get angry, but after looking at Yang Qingyin lying on the bed, he decided not to.
"You don’t need to worry about this, I have my own considerations!" He mumbled at last.
"Of course we need to worry!" Chen Qiaoyu seemed a bit agitated, "This concerns Qingyin’s lifelong happiness and the Yang family’s future. How can we not worry?"
Yang Qingyin held Chen Qiaoyu’s hand and whispered, "Mom, don’t get upset."
Then she said to Yang Yunlin, "Dad, even Grandpa has forgiven the Luo family and no longer talks about the past. Why do you hold on to it? Letting go of this resentment is beneficial for everyone. Besides, Ziling’s father didn’t intentionally kill Uncle back then. They’ve actively sought to ease the relationship, and we shouldn’t be so heartless!"
"What do you know?" Yang Yunlin glared at Yang Qingyin angrily, "Just don’t get involved in this; focus on recovering!"
"But Grandfather has the same attitude," Yang Qingyin said stubbornly, "Dad, are you planning to disagree with Grandpa?"
Yang Yunlin frowned, looking displeased at Yang Qingyin.
Yang Qingyin didn’t shy away, slightly pouting as she looked at Yang Yunlin.
Seeing this, Chen Qiaoyu quickly tried to mediate. She patted Yang Qingyin’s arm and then said to Yang Yunlin, "Old Yang, tell us what’s going on. We can discuss any issues together, as we are family after all."
"They’ve come to bully us at our doorstep!" Yang Yunlin sneered, "He stormed into my office to threaten me, and you still want me to forgive them?"
Yang Yunlin’s words took both Chen Qiaoyu and Yang Qingyin by surprise.
At this moment, a voice came from the doorway: "I think my dad’s point was, if you harm me again, he won’t hold back, right?"
Chen Qiaoyu and Yang Qingyin looked and saw Luo Ziling standing at the doorway without them realizing it.
Hearing Luo Ziling say this, Yang Yunlin couldn’t help but frown, looking as if he were about to explode on the spot.
Luo Ziling was not afraid. After entering the room, he continued, "I know you’ve tried many times to take my life. But I haven’t held grudges for the times you’ve attempted to harm me. I only want to warn you to stop targeting me. Otherwise, he might personally intervene. I think this is just his reminder, not a threat. If he wanted to take action against you, he wouldn’t have come to talk to you about it. He’s not the type to discuss everything before doing it."
Upon hearing Luo Ziling’s words, the faces of Yang Yunlin, Yang Qingyin, and Chen Qiaoyu all changed drastically.
