After lunch, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin went to see Yang Yuanshan.
It had been quite a few days since they last saw Yang Yuanshan.
Yang Yuanshan had a state event in the afternoon and originally planned to go to the office to prepare in the morning. After receiving Yang Qingyin’s phone call, he changed his plans and waited for them at the old residence.
After arriving, Luo Ziling examined Yang Yuanshan’s health and gave him some treatment.
While Luo Ziling was treating Yang Yuanshan, Yang Qingyin mentioned Yang Qingye’s situation.
Listening to Yang Qingyin talk about how Yang Qingye approached Luo Ziling with a request to join the board of directors of the merged Northern Pharmaceuticals, and Ziling didn’t immediately agree, causing Qingye to leave in a huff, Yang Yuanshan was quite surprised.
"This young man has changed quite a bit during this time!" he sighed lightly.
"Sir Yang is probably pleased with his changes, isn’t he?" Luo Ziling said with a smile. "Yang Qingye used to live a bit careless, barely escaped trouble once because a woman he had dated was used by someone, and he didn’t even know how to solve it. If that kind of thing happened now, he wouldn’t need Qingyin and me to help him anymore. People grow up continuously, gradually gaining life experience, ultimately becoming capable individuals who can face and handle things on their own. He and I are the same!"
As Luo Ziling said this, Yang Qingyin gave him a weird look.
Luo Ziling didn’t care and continued, "However, he shouldn’t hold a grudge against me. In the dispute between me and Qingyin’s father, I feel I didn’t do anything wrong. I dare say this in front of you. During this time, Qingyin’s father has treated my mother and me very unfairly, attempting to harm us several times. We didn’t hold it against him, yet he continued to become even more aggressive in treating us this way. Sir Yang used to wish me and my mom to have bad days, but now he’s changed his mind, for which my mom and I are grateful."
Saying these words, Yang Qingyin turned pale and signaled Luo Ziling to calm down, hoping he wouldn’t speak so vigorously.
But Luo Ziling didn’t pay attention.
He continued, "Sir Yang, I’m straightforward, saying whatever comes to mind, even when talking to my Great Grandfather and Grandfather, so please understand. This past year, my mom and I have faced countless assassination attempts. Fortunately, we’re lucky to still be alive. Each attempt was someone trying to kill us, making those plotting against us our mortal enemies. However, we’re generous; past issues can be overlooked as long as they stay behind us. But if they continue trying to harm my mom and me, regardless of who, we won’t be polite, because it’s a matter of life and death."
Upon saying this, he saw the disappointed look on Yang Qingyin’s face and seriously added, "Qingyin’s father still wants us dead, and now Qingye is also unfriendly to me, which naturally makes me hope to avoid further trouble. I’ve been striving to improve relations with Qingyin’s father and will work hard to improve relations with Qingye. If our efforts fail and all hope is lost, then we have no choice but to do certain things to survive, because neither my mom nor I want to die so soon!"
Yang Yuanshan understood the meaning behind Luo Ziling’s words.
He didn’t show any strange expressions, just nodded lightly.
"I already know, my second son’s death that year, your father’s retaliation was only a factor, the real escalation was caused by others’ incitements leading to chaotic conflict and uncontrollable situations. It’s been years since then; nothing can change the past. Moreover, you saved my life, and I won’t hold past grudges anymore. I also hope our families can cooperate well and create brilliance together," Yang Yuanshan said sincerely, casting a glance at Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin again, "I also hope you two can eventually be together, lovingly for a lifetime."
Yang Qingyin didn’t expect Yang Yuanshan to respond to Luo Ziling’s questioning in this way and was quite surprised.
She originally thought her grandfather would be very angry, as Luo Ziling’s words made even her uncomfortable, let alone Yang Yuanshan.
Though Luo Ziling’s words were indeed true, such truths shouldn’t be spoken in front of her and her grandfather.
After all, Luo Ziling’s anger and blame were directed at her father and brother.
Yang Qingye didn’t show hostility, just his attitude changed, and it was unnecessary for Luo Ziling to be so indignant.
Unexpectedly, her grandfather didn’t mind Luo Ziling’s aggressive attitude at all, but generously expressed understanding and voiced his true thoughts. She couldn’t understand why her grandfather could be so tolerant.
Yang Yuanshan noticed Yang Qingyin’s confusion and didn’t hide anything.
Afraid Yang Qingyin would misunderstand, he clarified matters in front of Luo Ziling.
"Ziling expressed his thoughts openly as a sign of trust in us. By stating his intentions, he’s showing that unless absolutely necessary, he won’t resort to extreme measures. His generosity is because of you and me. If he weren’t transparent, he wouldn’t need to say these things, and could act directly when the time comes. So, don’t misunderstand him; he’s just expressing his helplessness. Qingye’s attitude shift gives him a sense of crisis, and he hopes to eliminate all threats in their infancy."
After saying these words, Yang Yuanshan asked Luo Ziling, "Did I understand incorrectly?"
"Sir Yang, thank you very much for your understanding and forgiveness," Luo Ziling expressed his appreciation to Yang Yuanshan, then looked at Yang Qingyin, "That’s really what I’m trying to say."
"That’s good!" After listening to Yang Yuanshan’s explanation and Luo Ziling’s confirmation, Yang Qingyin felt relieved.
As she exhaled, she rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling.
However, Yang Qingyin’s concern hadn’t entirely disappeared, knowing very well about Yang Qingye’s temperament.
She was quite familiar with her twin brother’s nature. Today, after putting forth a direct demand to Luo Ziling and failing to see it fulfilled, he left in a huff; next time something similar happens, his response might be even more intense.
The conflict between Luo Ziling and her father Yang Yunlin was not so clear-cut or straightforward.
If Luo Ziling and Yang Qingye clashed, it would certainly be fierce and direct, the ultimate result being mutual harm.
This was not something Yang Qingyin wished to see.
Therefore, she immediately told Yang Yuanshan, "Grandfather, I’ll talk to Qingye about this soon. He’s always feared me, so after a chat, it should have some effect. You should also talk to him, urging him to be rational and less impulsive. He and Ziling don’t have any conflicts of interest, relations have been good before, there’s really no need for this."
Yang Yuanshan lightly nodded in agreement.
With her grandfather agreeing to talk to Yang Qingye, Yang Qingyin felt slightly relieved.
Yet, she still felt uneasy, sensing forthcoming troubles.
