Chapter 523: Chapter 523: An Unexpected Encounter
When he ca out of the elevator, Luo Ziling received a call from Chen Xiaoyi, who asked where he was and said she was preparing to treat him to a late-night snack.
“Sis, we’re together, we and Ziling are about to go for a late-night snack,” hearing Chen Xiaoyi’s voice, Chen Xiaoxiao couldn’t help shouting into the phone, “You can’t steal Ziling from us.”
Chen Xiaoyi couldn’t help feeling alert upon realizing that Luo Ziling was actually with Chen Xiaoxiao and Fang Qianqian.
She imdiately asked for the details and told Luo Ziling that she would co to join them shortly.
Upon hearing Chen Xiaoyi was coming, Fang Qianqian and Chen Xiaoxiao felt sowhat downhearted.
Half an hour later, one man and three won t at an upscale café.
“You’ve already gone to treat Fang Dongxun?” Chen Xiaoyi had planned to speak with Luo Ziling about this today, in the hope that he could agree to treat Fang Dongxun. She was quite surprised to learn that Luo Ziling had already started the treatnt.
“Yes, Journalist Chen requested repeatedly, Miss Fang personally ca to fetch , and her father, Mr. Fang, also personally invited . I couldn’t possibly refuse to give them face,” Luo Ziling said with an embarrassed smile, “Actually, as a healer, it’s an undeniable responsibility to treat and save lives. The only concern was whether the Fang Family would trust in my dical skills.”
Hearing Luo Ziling credit her with the first ntion, Chen Xiaoyi felt slightly more comfortable inside.
“How’s the situation?” Chen Xiaoyi sipped her coffee and asked Luo Ziling quietly, “Is there any hope of cure?”
“One side has already sustained complete organic damage. Unless it’s transplanted, there’s no possibility of restoring function. What can be done now is to try to maintain and restore the function of the other side as much as possible,” Luo Ziling spoke very frankly, “I’ll do my best. The chances of a cure are very great. Of course, if the treatnt continues in the way it is being done at the hospital, I’m afraid that in the future Mr. Fang won’t have any other way to reproduce except for artificial insemination.”
Luo Ziling’s words made Chen Xiaoyi blush, although Fang Qianqian and Chen Xiaoxiao didn’t find anything amiss and just looked at him with peculiar expressions.
“Qianqian, how did your dad agree to let Ziling treat your brother?” Chen Xiaoyi shifted the topic.
“I didn’t ask, but it seems like my dad trusts Mr. Luo quite a lot,” Fang Qianqian turned her head to look at Luo Ziling and asked with a smile, “What did my dad say to you?”
Chen Xiaoyi and Chen Xiaoxiao also looked at Luo Ziling with a curious expression.
With three beautiful won looking at him with such gazes, Luo Ziling suddenly felt a bit shy, “He must trust my dical skills, I guess.”
“Is that all?” Fang Qianqian didn’t quite believe it. She felt that Luo Ziling must have had quite the conversation with her father; otherwise, her father, who had high expectations, definitely wouldn’t have easily allowed Luo Ziling to treat Fang Dongxun— even if these won had said a lot, Fang Zhonghua would have interrogated thoroughly instead of eagerly welcoming Luo Ziling to the ward as he did today.
“My grandfather was quite skilled in dicine, he once treated your grandfather,” Luo Ziling had to reveal a bit of the secret.
“Really? It was like that?” Fang Qianqian exclaid in surprise.
Chen Xiaoyi and Chen Xiaoxiao were also quite astonished.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this. Have sothing to eat anyway, and I need to get back early to rest. I have to go to school tomorrow!” Luo Ziling didn’t want to discuss these matters with the won any further.
“What’s all this, we have to go to school too,” Chen Xiaoxiao said with a dissatisfied tone. “You think you’re the only student?”
“You’re also in school?” Luo Ziling looked at Chen Xiaoxiao and Fang Qianqian with surprise, thinking they had already graduated.
“We’re both studying at Qinghua,” Fang Qianqian volunteered the information, “Though I’m already doing an internship, Xiao Xiao will be interning next year.”
“Ah, then you’re both older than .” Luo Ziling found it peculiar. All the won he interacted with were older than him, even Yang Qingyin was the sa. There were none younger than him, at most the sa age.
He didn’t mind this at all, as he actually hoped to date a woman who was slightly older because he liked being taken care of.
What he didn’t expect was that his offhand remark would make three won quite embarrassed.
A woman being older than a man does make for a sowhat awkward relationship, especially for Chen Xiaoyi who was three years older than Luo Ziling, she even thought that Luo Ziling’s words conveyed a special aning. But Luo Ziling’s comnt had clearly been a dampener, and added to the fact that he really wanted to get back to sleep early, the four of them parted ways after having so desserts.
Luo Ziling declined their offer to see him off and decided to walk back to the school on his own.
Seeing that Luo Ziling didn’t want them to drive him back, Chen Xiaoyi, Fang Qianqian, and Chen Xiaoxiao felt even more depressed.
However, facing each other, they couldn’t express it.
Having escaped the company of the three won, Luo Ziling instantly felt relieved.
Despite being beautiful won, being together with these three beauties, Luo Ziling felt quite pressured.
The main reason was their backgrounds.
These three won were born into wealth, with extraordinary family histories. Behind them was aristocracy that others could only look up to.
More importantly, Ling Ruonan had warned him to keep his distance from these won, as they were dangerous.
Actually, Luo Ziling naturally wanted to keep his distance from them without Ling Ruonan’s warning. Because being with them, he felt pressured and uncomfortable.
He didn’t feel this way with Yang Qingyin, and neither with the Ouyang sisters, Ouyang Feifei and Ouyang Huihui. Escaping their presence, he imdiately felt at ease. He planned to reduce his contact with them in the future to avoid awkwardness.
However, an unexpected incident occurred after he had escaped the three won.
After crossing two blocks and reaching the main road, he saw several cars speeding past.
It was quite a luxurious motorcade, but he couldn’t recognize the make of the car in the middle at first glance.
As Luo Ziling curiously watched the procession of luxury cars drive by, the motorcade slowly ca to a halt beside him.
The window of the car in the middle, whose brand he hadn’t recognized, slowly rolled down to reveal the stunning face of Ling Ruonan.
“Ling’er,” Ling Ruonan’s voice ca with surprise.
Overwheld with joy, Luo Ziling dashed to the luxury car and without hesitation, he opened the door and got in.
“Mom,” he called out softly after seating himself.
But he imdiately felt embarrassed because there wasn’t just Ling Ruonan on the back seat, but also another man sitting there.
He didn’t recognize him, but felt he looked sowhat familiar.
“Dad, this is Ling’er,” Ling Ruonan wasn’t embarrassed, but naturally introduced Luo Ziling to the man, then smiled at Luo Ziling and said, “Ling’er, call him Grandfather.”
Caught off guard by the encounter with Ling Ruonan’s father, his grandfather Ling Qirui, Luo Ziling was stunned.
