The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2375 2375: Talking About the Past Again

Luo Ziling tactfully did not ask Ling Ruonan anything—although he was well aware that Ling Ruonan would certainly use the conflict between Yang Yuanshan and Yang Yunlin to do something.

Luo Ziling did not want to inquire into what Ling Ruonan would do; after all, he would not be involved.

With Yang Qingyin present, he found it inconvenient to do such things, but Ling Ruonan could.

Luo Ziling thought the best course was not to probe or get involved in whatever Ling Ruonan was planning.

Luo Ziling refrained from asking anything, and Ling Ruonan was quite pleased.

She also did not take the initiative to explain.

She asked Luo Ziling to detail the events of the night.

Luo Ziling recounted them all.

“Haha, saying that the fruit you sent contained poison, how low must one’s intelligence be to come up with such a trick?” Ling Ruonan chuckled after hearing this, but then she asked Luo Ziling suspiciously, “Could it be you intentionally did it?”

“How could that be possible?” Luo Ziling shook his head, “Even if I did it, I wouldn’t possibly sprinkle botulinum toxin. That’s such a terrifying poison with a tiny lethal dose. If I were to poison someone, I definitely wouldn’t use this kind of poison. Even if I were to poison someone, I would make it obvious that I did it.”

At this point, Luo Ziling also laughed, “I think this must be the work of an ally, aiming not to harm me but to help me.”

“Yang Yunlin wants to take advantage of this situation to entrap you; he is too impulsive, right? He can’t possibly misunderstand what’s going on.” Ling Ruonan seemed lost in thought, “It’s quite interesting.”

“Mom, do you mean Yang Yunlin wanted to argue with Yang Yuanshan today, preventing us from having a peaceful meal?” Luo Ziling asked softly.

“That’s definitely one reason.” Ling Ruonan nodded, pleased that Luo Ziling discerned this, “Yang Yunlin must have long realized Yang Yuanshan had changed his mind but didn’t agree with him, so upon knowing you were to dine with them at the old residence today, he decided to stir things up. The fruit poison test was merely a distraction; the direct confrontation afterward completely negated the possibility of dining together.”

“I see!” Ling Ruonan’s reminder enlightened Luo Ziling, prompting a chuckle, “He must really despise me!”

“A bitter frost does not form in a day.” Ling Ruonan lowered her eyelids and sighed, “These matters should be left to Nature; as long as we have a clear conscience, that’s enough.”

“Hmm!” Luo Ziling nodded before protesting, “Mom, I’ve come back to eat, why isn’t there dinner for me?”

“Oh, I’ll quickly whip up something for you!” Ling Ruonan glanced at the simple fare she and Wuyue had—a steak and salad—and felt a bit embarrassed, “Have some fruit first!”

“Miss, I’ll handle it!” Wuyue offered quietly, “You two should continue discussing things; I’ll head to the kitchen.”

“Alright!” Ling Ruonan nodded.

After Wuyue went into the kitchen, Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan sat down at the dining table.

Luo Ziling proactively inquired, “Mom, has Yang Yunlin been up to anything recently? I haven’t had anyone keep tabs on him.”

“There’s been nothing unusual.” Ling Ruonan shook her head, “Up until today, nothing out of the ordinary; he conducts himself quite discreetly.”

“Could he have been provoked today?” Luo Ziling expressed some doubt and brought up another point, “Yang Yuanshan also yelled another accusation at him, questioning how many of those around him Yang Yunlin had bribed!”

Luo Ziling hadn’t mentioned this to Ling Ruonan earlier; he hadn’t recalled it.

“Haha, those two must really be on bad terms!” Ling Ruonan concluded, but quickly reconsidered, “However, they could be putting on a show.”

“That’s possible.” After some thought, Luo Ziling didn’t dismiss Ling Ruonan’s speculation.

“Are Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye still at the old residence?”

Luo Ziling nodded.

“Then go find them shortly and inquire about what happened afterward.”

Luo Ziling nodded once more, accepting Ling Ruonan’s request.

Wuyue prepared a fried egg and some stir-fried noodles for Luo Ziling.

Wuyue’s culinary skills were quite good, and Luo Ziling was very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, Wuyue briefed Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling on the preparations she had made during this period.

She had already sent some people to the Northwest to scout the situation ahead.

If anyone intended to deal with them in the Northwest, they’d certainly set out early to arrange things.

After outlining her arrangements and ideas, Wuyue added, “If that’s the situation we encounter, let’s take preemptive action.”

Luo Ziling nodded in agreement with Wuyue’s plan, and Ling Ruonan had no objections.

“Only three days left until departure.” Luo Ziling looked at Ling Ruonan with a smile, “Mom, are you excited about visiting the place I’ve lived for twenty years?”

This sentence instantly made Ling Ruonan sentimental.

“I’ve always wanted to see it; I longed to go there when you were very young,” Ling Ruonan said, her eyes reddening slightly, “I once even landed in Wushi by plane, but ultimately didn’t get to visit. Sigh, every time I think of it, I feel immensely guilty.”

After glancing at Luo Ziling, Ling Ruonan became indignant again, “It’s not just guilt, but sheer anger. Those people constantly prevented us from meeting, causing me, as a mother, not to see my grown-up son until much later.”

“Mom, who kept you from finding me back then?” Luo Ziling asked with some curiosity.

“Ling Zhengping and Yang Yunlin. Ling Zhengping directly stopped me, while Yang Yunlin threatened me.” Ling Ruonan sighed again, “Of course, your Great Grandfather and Grandfather didn’t want me to see you either, saying I’d face unbearable consequences. Anyway, that’s all in the past; now, we’re together, and soon we’ll see the place you’ve lived in for twenty years.”

“Mom, why did Grandpa choose that place to raise me?” This had always puzzled Luo Ziling.

Previously, he didn’t quite understand, as Luo Liansheng seldom mentioned matters related to his parents and almost never talked about the grudges from back then. Later, Luo Ziling had asked his grandpa about it, but he didn’t reply, and Luo Ziling eventually stopped asking.

Discussing this matter today stirred his curiosity, so he couldn’t help but ask again.

“The scenery there is nice, and it’s hard for ordinary people to reach, plus it’s convenient for collecting medicinal herbs.” Ling Ruonan sighed once more, “Also, there’s a very important reason: your grandpa and grandma toured there once, and your grandma loved it.”

“Is grandma buried there then?” Luo Ziling asked with surprise.

“No!” Ling Ruonan shook her head, “If she were buried there, Grandpa would certainly have taken you to pay respects.”

“So, where is grandma actually buried?”
