But Lin Lan didn’t say much, and to Luo Ziling’s surprise, began her own exercise routine.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Ziling didn’t ask any further questions and focused on exercising himself.
After breakfast, Lin Lan left the villa with Ling Ruonan. Luo Liansheng went to school again, but Luo Ziling didn’t go with him, as he had other matters to attend to.
Last night, Huang Chen had sent him a message, asking if he had time today to come over and help treat her mother.
His elderly mother wanted to return home in the next few days.
Having been away for too long, the old lady missed home; she was thinking about the persimmons she hadn’t picked and was preparing to sow winter wheat.
Huang Chen couldn’t persuade her otherwise, so he had to buy a ticket for her and planned to send her back.
Before going back, he hoped Luo Ziling could help with one more treatment session.
Luo Ziling naturally agreed and planned to go in the morning to help with the treatment.
When Luo Ziling arrived, Huang Chen, who had taken leave to be there, was already present.
Upon arrival, Luo Ziling first checked and treated Huang Chen’s mother.
After the treatment, Mrs. Huang fell into a deep sleep.
As Luo Ziling treated his mother, Huang Chen stayed by her side the entire time.
Huang Chen is a devoted son, trying his best to fulfill his filial duties, but his current job doesn’t allow him much freedom, making him feel torn between loyalty and filial piety.
When his mother was seriously ill, he felt very guilty. Now that her health has improved, he feels much relieved.
Luo Ziling healing his mother’s illness is like helping him fulfill part of his filial duty, for which Huang Chen is very grateful.
After the treatment, Huang Chen also asked about his mother’s condition with concern.
Upon learning that his mother’s illness was no longer a concern and she just needed to recuperate slowly to regain her health, he expressed his gratitude to Luo Ziling once again.
"You’re too polite!" Luo Ziling waved his hand with a smile, telling Huang Chen not to be so courteous, "I’m a doctor, curing the sick and saving lives is my duty, so there’s no need for thanks. You’ve helped us so much, and I didn’t say thanks either. There will surely be more help I’ll need from you in the future, and if you’re so polite, I’d be embarrassed to ask."
Huang Chen also replied heartily: "Alright then, I won’t be polite either. If you need any help, just say it, and I’ll do my best as long as I can."
After exchanging a few words, Huang Chen started talking about his visit to Ling Mingrui last night.
Last night, while Luo Ziling, Ling Ruonan, Luo Liansheng, and Luo Xusheng went to the Fang Family, Huang Chen went over to visit Ling Mingrui.
The reason Huang Chen visited Ling Mingrui last night was that he thought Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan would also be going.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan went to the Fang Family instead, so he didn’t meet them at Ling Mingrui’s place, which left him a bit disappointed.
Not having met Luo Ziling, he sent him a message asking if he had time today to help with treatment.
He hoped for Luo Ziling to come over for the treatment today and also to chat about his visit with Ling Mingrui last night.
Upon hearing that Huang Chen had visited Ling Mingrui last night, Luo Ziling became interested.
Huang Chen didn’t hide anything and briefly explained last night’s visit to Ling Mingrui.
Although Huang Chen had been by Ling Jinhua’s side for many years and was very familiar with Ling Mingrui, having frequently sought him out, since leaving Ling Jinhua’s side, he still felt a bit nervous about approaching Ling Mingrui again.
After all, he was no longer a part of the Ling Family, nor was he a trusted confidant of Ling Jinhua, so he was afraid Ling Mingrui might ignore him.
Fortunately, Ling Mingrui did not snub him; upon learning of his visit, he received him warmly.
Huang Chen and Ling Mingrui discussed many topics, including their views on current affairs and Huang Chen’s future prospects; he shared many thoughts from his heart. Ling Mingrui valued Huang Chen quite highly and offered a lot of encouragement.
Ling Mingrui told Huang Chen that, because he had served as a secretary for Ling Jinhua for many years, any member of the Ling Family would view him as a trustworthy person. If Huang Chen needed help in the future and felt uncomfortable asking Ling Jinhua, he could come to him.
Ling Mingrui expressed that he saw Huang Chen as very capable; otherwise, Ling Jinhua wouldn’t have kept him by his side for so many years.
In short, Ling Mingrui’s message was that Huang Chen was very impressive, he was highly trusted by the Ling Family, and they would undoubtedly support him strongly in the future.
Ling Mingrui’s words moved Huang Chen and filled him with excitement.
After recounting last night’s events to Luo Ziling, he said with some emotion, "Seeing your grandfather made me quite anxious, but I didn’t expect him to be so kind."
"Just as he said, the Ling Family views you as one of their own, that’s why they treated you warmly." Luo Ziling smiled and said, "Not only does the Ling Family view you as one of them, others do as well, a die-hard supporter of the Ling faction."
"So, you should adjust your position and use that to seek benefits for yourself. Just like me, everyone considers me the grandson of the Ling Family, and I can use that to gain some advantages for myself." After saying this, Luo Ziling laughed heartily.
Huang Chen laughed openly: "Thanks for the advice, I understand now."
Luo Ziling continued, "With your experience as a secretary to Old Mr. Ling, I believe anyone will give you face. As long as you demonstrate your capabilities, you’ll certainly achieve great things."
"Ziling, your achievements are truly enviable." Huang Chen said with a smile, "At such a young age, you’ve accomplished so much. Your influence and appeal surpass many others. The recent Weibo post you made had a very strong impact. The Chen Family will face more troubles, but what I don’t understand is why there hasn’t been any follow-up?"
"Let the bullet fly for a while; what I’ve posted is already enough to give the Chen Family a hard time." Luo Ziling didn’t explain much, only hinting to Huang Chen that the Chen Family was sure to have bad luck, but to what extent, he couldn’t yet determine.
"Then I’ll just quietly enjoy the show!" Huang Chen didn’t ask further questions.
After chatting about many things, Luo Ziling excused himself, saying he had other matters to handle, and left first.
When Luo Ziling left, Wuyue came to pick him up.
In the car, Wuyue told him that the deaths of two important Chen Family members had been reported by some media outlets last night.
Some journalists speculated whether the Chen Family was eliminating witnesses?
These two individuals were possibly significant figures in the Chen Family, involved in numerous criminal cases and shady affairs.
Amidst growing online criticism against the Chen Family, they feared exposure and thus sent someone to silence those who knew too much.
Upon hearing Wuyue’s report, Luo Ziling was somewhat shocked.
"What an unexpected win!" After contemplating for a moment, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but laugh.
