Yang Qingye really followed Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin to have breakfast together.
However, he didn’t say a word during breakfast.
Luo Ziling acted as if he didn’t exist, chatting with Yang Qingyin over breakfast.
Luo Ziling told Yang Qingyin that if he had time in the next couple of days, he planned to visit Yang Yuanshan to help examine and treat his health.
"I’ll ask my grandpa when it would be convenient," Yang Qingyin nodded, "While you were away, your grandpa came to help treat mine a few times. According to your grandpa, my grandpa’s condition has improved significantly, and the threat of death is basically gone. I truly thank you and your grandpa; without your help, my grandpa’s health might really be looking grim."
"Yes, it might be worse than Chen Ruchang’s current situation," Luo Ziling said seriously without any humility, then added, "If your grandpa was seriously ill, the Yang Family’s situation would definitely be like the current Chen Family, maybe even worse."
Then he turned to Yang Qingye, who was silently eating, and said, "Regardless, my grandpa and I are your grandpa’s lifesavers and benefactors to your Yang Family. Look at how things are for the Chen Family since Chen Ruchang fell ill, and what has happened afterward. Your Yang Family is now supported by your grandpa; if anything happens to him, your dad’s outcome would be worse than Chen Yining or Chen Yijing. This isn’t alarmist talk; if you don’t believe me, you can go ask your grandpa."
Yang Qingye looked up at Luo Ziling but said nothing.
After breakfast, Yang Qingye left, citing that he had class. Before leaving, he seriously said to Luo Ziling, "Some of your words make sense, I am indeed inferior to you in many aspects, but I will definitely surpass you in the future."
"I don’t believe it," Luo Ziling laughed, "Let’s wait and see!"
Yang Qingye nodded, "Let’s wait and see!"
After Yang Qingye left, Yang Qingyin looked at Luo Ziling with complicated emotions.
Luo Ziling reached out to pinch her cheek and smiled, "Don’t look at me with such resentment; I know you feel uncomfortable seeing me discipline your brother. But I think when he’s out of control and speaking nonsensically, he needs to be taught a lesson, so he understands what can be said and what shouldn’t be said. Just now, when he cursed at you, he deserved a slap."
Yang Qingyin sighed and said nothing.
Luo Ziling continued, "His arrogance is backed solely by your dad’s support. If your dad gets into trouble and can’t support him, he’ll lose all his confidence."
"Didn’t you notice a change in his demeanor when he left?" Yang Qingyin softly said, "He’s determined to compete with you intensely!"
"He’s just putting on airs," Luo Ziling shook his head, "I don’t believe he has that much capability. If he could truly endure and consider carefully before acting, he wouldn’t be like this now. It’s hard to change one’s nature; Yang Qingye is inherently a spoiled playboy. Unless he suffers greatly, a mere enthusiasm won’t lead to quick growth. You doubt? We can bet on it. He’ll lose his momentum in a few days. If he faces more setbacks, he might start questioning his life."
"Are you planning to let him experience more setbacks?" Yang Qingyin frowned slightly.
"I think it’s necessary; I need him to feel that I’m a fierce person who isn’t easily provoked, or he’ll keep being reckless," Luo Ziling laughed again, "Actually, treating Qingye this way today felt like educating a lost child. For a rebellious kid, talking sense means nothing to them; you need to pressure them a bit while explaining, using a carrot and stick approach to be effective."
"I’m just afraid he’ll hate you!" Yang Qingyin sighed, looking a bit resentfully at Luo Ziling, "Have you thought about how I feel?"
"I know you must be feeling uncomfortable, but that discomfort is insignificant compared to serious consequences. You should also know, I’m even more uncomfortable. A person who called me ’brother-in-law’ suddenly turned 180 degrees against me, treating me like an enemy, how could one feel comfortable? Emotions don’t matter; what’s important is avoiding dire outcomes. If one day he injures me fatally, or leaves me in a situation where I can’t live or die, do you think it’s just a matter of feeling? The current situation is still salvageable; we can change his mind through various means."
After saying so much, Luo Ziling noticed Yang Qingyin’s face still didn’t look good, so he stopped.
He looked at Yang Qingyin twice and sighed: "Actually, explaining things to a woman is foolish, right? When a woman is upset, you just need to coax her, make her happy, the more you reason, the more upset she gets. Fine, I won’t explain this to you anymore; if you’re willing to accept, you should understand without my explanation."
"What do you mean?" Yang Qingyin frowned at Luo Ziling, "Do you think I’m unreasonable?"
"Not at all!" Luo Ziling shook his head, "Alright, let’s not talk about this; tomorrow let’s visit your grandpa together. I’ll personally explain today’s events to him."
"Alright," Yang Qingyin didn’t say much.
The two went to school together; Yang Qingyin went to her classroom for class, while Luo Ziling also went to attend lectures. He had missed more than a month of class, and as a second-year clinical medical student, he didn’t want to frequently miss classes because what he learned had practical uses.
Luo Ziling’s sudden reappearance after being missing for over a month and returning to class naturally surprised his classmates.
When Luo Ziling entered the classroom, many people gathered around, curiously asking him questions. Everyone was most concerned about the same thing: where had Luo Ziling gone during his disappearance?
Luo Ziling told them he had gone to Tianshan to gather herbs; the purpose was to create a new medicine, thus delaying his studies.
He promised to try not to miss main courses, especially those closely related to clinical medicine, he would strive to attend.
But his promise was soon tested by time and proven unreliable.
Around ten o’clock in the morning, he received a call from Lin Zeping.
On the phone, Lin Zeping kindly inquired about Luo Ziling’s recent situation and asked if he had time today.
If he did, Lin Zeping wanted to meet Luo Ziling and discuss some matters face-to-face.
Luo Ziling thought for two seconds before accepting Lin Zeping’s invitation.
