The Young Urban Doctor
Chapter 1230 - Chapter 1230 Chapter 1230 Self-Contradictory

Chapter 1230: Chapter 1230: Self-Contradictory Chapter 1230: Chapter 1230: Self-Contradictory After Yang Qingyin got into the car, Luo Ziling returned to the villa.

By the time he got back, Luo Liansheng had gone to take a shower, getting ready to sleep.

The old man was very happy today; he drank quite a lot, far more than his usual amount, and he felt a bit tipsy.

Plus, being tired from the journey, Ling Ruonan urged him to rest early.

She also told Luo Ziling not to disturb Luo Liansheng, and if he had things to discuss or wanted to chat, they could talk tomorrow morning.

Luo Ziling agreed.

However, after taking a bath, Luo Liansheng asked Luo Ziling to come to his room, saying that the grandfather and grandson should have a good chat.

Seeing Luo Liansheng in high spirits, Ling Ruonan didn’t urge him further, prepared some tea, snacks, and fruits for them, and then went to take a shower herself.

“Grandpa, did you encounter any danger on this trip?” Luo Ziling’s main concern was this, so he asked right after sitting down.

“There were certainly dangers, but all of them were minor matters,” Luo Liansheng smiled, “It was similar to the situation a few years ago when you came along, always close calls without harm.”

Luo Ziling thought for a moment and then suggested, “Next time you want to collect herbs, either I should go with you, or you shouldn’t go, I can go instead.”

“So, you mean grandpa is old?”

“That’s not what I mean,” Luo Ziling laughed and shook his head, “I’m just worried about you. It’s like how you worry when I go do something.”

“Alright,” Luo Liansheng accepted Luo Ziling’s kindness without refusal and nodded, “If we go herb collecting again, we’ll go together.”

“Yes,” Luo Ziling was immediately happy.

After discussing events that happened during herb collecting, Luo Liansheng asked about the recent occurrences.

Luo Ziling told him most of what happened, including meeting several special forces commanders introduced by Li Haiyang, and the conflicts with Chen Yining and Jiang Nan.

Hearing about the conflicts Luo Ziling had with Chen Yining and Jiang Nan, leading almost to blows, Luo Liansheng, who had been listening happily, couldn’t help frowning.

“Try to avoid conflicts with them,” after Luo Ziling finished, Luo Liansheng softly said, “A little patience avoids a great sin. Fighting with them now is just a matter of pride and the end result can only get worse. Even if you win a fight, it really doesn’t benefit you much; what you gain won’t be significant.”

Luo Ziling didn’t expect Luo Liansheng to say this, and he was a bit surprised.

“Wait until one day, when you stand at an equal rank with them, or the achievements you create make everyone take you seriously, then no one can easily provoke you or humiliate you in public anymore.” Luo Liansheng smiled again, “Just like the Yang Family and the Ling Family have old grudges because of past events, but people from both families generally avoid direct conflicts, each having their own concerns. What you lack now are the power and position that make others wary – these are what you must strive for unless you plan not to stay in Yanjing.”

Hearing Luo Liansheng say this, Luo Ziling understood. He nodded in agreement with Luo Liansheng’s remarks, promising to create accomplishments that would astonish everyone, ensuring they would never underestimate him again.

Luo Liansheng told Luo Ziling that after the New Year, he might not return to the Northwest.

Hearing this, Luo Ziling was overjoyed, suddenly interrupting Luo Liansheng, “Grandpa, are you planning to live with us?”

“That’s not necessarily the case,” Luo Liansheng shook his head, “I don’t like living in big cities. Although they are bustling, they restrict people’s thinking and imagination.”

“Isn’t it said in ancient sayings, ‘True hermits are hidden in the city’?”

“That’s different,” Luo Liansheng still shook his head, “The pollution in cities today is too severe, lacking spirit. I still prefer the mountains and wilderness.”

Luo Ziling immediately came up with a suggestion, “Then why don’t we choose a place in the outskirts of the Capital and build a house?”

“Yuezhou is great, ‘the scenery I once knew well’?” Luo Liansheng laughed again, “The North is too dry, the pollution too severe; the South is much better.”

Luo Ziling was a bit surprised, “Grandpa is planning to move back to Yuezhou?”

Luo Liansheng did not deny it, “Nowadays, with the convenience of high-speed trains and planes, it takes only half a day from Yuezhou or Qiantang to Yanjing. The South, with its white walls, black tiles, small bridges, and flowing waters, is where I plan to spend my old age. In a few days, I’ll go back to Yuezhou to see our family’s old mansion. I should live there for a while; otherwise, even my heart gets distant.”

After thinking for a while, Luo Ziling soon started laughing, “I’ll go back and check our family’s old mansion too.”

“Go ahead, you should visit.”

After chatting with Luo Liansheng for over an hour, Luo Ziling told his grandfather to go to sleep early, and he also prepared to go back to his room to rest.

As he left the room, Luo Ziling saw that Ling Ruonan’s door was ajar, so he went over and knocked.

Ling Ruonan had already taken a bath, dried her hair, and was looking at something on her phone.

Upon seeing Luo Ziling come in, she immediately tossed the phone aside and stood up.

A pleasant feminine fragrance hit his nose, and Luo Ziling deeply inhaled a few times, teasing Ling Ruonan, “Mom, you smell really good!”

“Being naughty again,” Ling Ruonan gave a faint smile and tapped Luo Ziling on the head, “What did you and grandpa talk about?”

Luo Ziling honestly replied, “Grandpa said he’s not planning to go back to the small village in the Northwest anymore. He wants to live in the South, and he’s going to visit our family’s old mansion. He said if he doesn’t go back to live there, even his heart will grow distant.”

“Let him be,” Ling Ruonan must have been aware of these matters, hence she showed no surprise, “When people age, they tend to grow nostalgic and yearn for their homeland; the local accent is the dearest. If he wants to go back to Yuezhou, then let him. We can just visit him more often.”

“Actually, I really hope Grandpa could stay here in Yanjing. That way, many people who want to start disputes with us would hesitate because of his presence.”

“Your grandfather no longer cares about arguing with others. He also trusts his sons and grandsons; even without him, you all can rise amidst oppression,” Ling Ruonan said, taking Luo Ziling’s hand into her palms, “And Mom is here too!”

Luo Ziling grasped Ling Ruonan’s hand tightly, smiling joyfully, “Exactly, with such a beautiful and capable mom, who would we fear?”

“Talking nonsense again,” Ling Ruonan pinched Luo Ziling, “Did Grandpa blame you for anything?”

Luo Ziling conveyed to Ling Ruonan the things Luo Liansheng had asked of him.

“Your grandfather is right,” Ling Ruonan nodded approvingly, “quarrels driven by pride are unnecessary. The key is to be strong; then no one will dare to bully us casually.”

Ling Ruonan’s tone shifted firmly, “But if someone dares to bully us, we cannot let them do so without consequences.”

“So, the implication is, if someone dares to bully us, we strike back?”

“If anyone dares to bully us, we’ll hit them hard. Who told them the Luo Family has tougher fists!”

Hearing Ling Ruonan speak through gritted teeth, Luo Ziling was stunned.

Were those words really coming from the mouth of his mother, who seemed like a goddess?

And moreover, her sentiment was somewhat contradictory, wasn’t it?
