The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: You Can Never Be With Him
Chen Qiaoyu cooked Yang Qingyin a large bowl of wontons, but Yang Qingyin only ate less than half a bowl.

Seeing her daughter’s depressed expression and complete lack of appetite, Chen Qiaoyu couldn’t help but sigh, wanting to say something but not knowing how.

After finishing her meal, Yang Qingyin walked back to the living room and sat down numbly in front of the two elders.

She only showed lively expressions and laughed happily in front of Luo Ziling.

At home, unless she was in a very good mood, she seldom smiled.

The family had grown accustomed to her cold and proud demeanor, so neither Yang Yuanshan nor Yang Yunlin paid it much attention.

“Qingyin, your biological uncle died at their hands, and the woman who was supposed to marry your uncle became someone else’s wife. Now their illegitimate son wants to pursue you. This is a naked slap in our face,” Yang Yunlin didn’t want his daughter to be treated as a pawn, so he advised earnestly, “No matter how you look at it, you shouldn’t be with him. If you were to be together, where would that leave our Yang Family? The faces of your grandfather and your parents, where should we put them? Everyone in the world would laugh at us, and you would be called a shameless and despicable woman. Your grandfather and your parents hope that you will consider this carefully. This matter is not just about feelings; you have to think long-term.”

Yang Qingyin sat on the sofa with a numb expression, her eyes looking straight ahead as if she hadn’t heard anyone speaking to her.

“Your parents once promised that you could pursue the life you like and wouldn’t force you to marry someone for the sake of the family’s interests. If you like anyone else, as long as you think it’s a good choice, we won’t interfere but will bless you and create all the favorable conditions for you. But the son of Ling Ruonan, absolutely not. Even if you break off relations with us, your parents, we will not allow it.” In front of his father, Yang Yunlin put his foot down, clearly stating his position.

Yang Yuanshan had different thoughts, wanting to use Yang Qingyin as bait to ruin Luo Ziling, but he wasn’t willing to do so.

Yang Qingyin was their only daughter, and both he and Chen Qiaoyu cherished their precious daughter very much. They were unwilling to let her take even the slightest risk under any circumstances.

If Yang Qingyin were used as bait to deceive Luo Ziling and ultimately ruin him through Yang Qingyin, Yang Yunlin believed that his daughter would definitely be harmed, in many ways. Perhaps they could succeed in their revenge, but it would destroy Yang Qingyin’s entire life.

He would not tolerate such a situation, so before Yang Yuanshan could speak again, he made his stance clear.

Yang Yuanshan obviously understood Yang Yunlin’s meaning, but he showed no response, simply leisurely drinking his tea.

Yang Yunlin said so much, but Yang Qingyin remained indifferent, her eyes merely lowered, blankly staring at the items on the coffee table. Seeing his daughter like this, Yang Yunlin couldn’t help but sigh.

He knew very well that his daughter hadn’t taken in a word he said nor did she plan to pay any attention to it.

He was very aware of his daughter’s stubborn nature, but he also knew that there was absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter.

No matter how stubborn Yang Qingyin was, she simply could not be with Luo Ziling.

Although the Ling and Yang families could set aside their past grievances for the sake of mutual benefits, they would never forget the hatred from those years.

Ling Ruonan and her lover, as well as their son, could never be allowed to reunite; that was the punishment for the mistakes they had made back then.

To think that Yang Qingyin wanted to be with Luo Ziling—how many people’s bottom lines would that challenge? Yang Yunlin could hardly imagine what kind of situation would unfold if word got out.

“Why haven’t you considered using me as bait to lure Luo Ziling over and then find a way to destroy him?” Yang Qingyin suddenly blurted out, “Didn’t I just hint that to you?”

Yang Qingyin’s words startled Yang Yunlin and also made Yang Yuanshan, who was sipping tea expressionlessly, pause for a moment.

However, Yang Yuanshan did not show any reaction, continuing to drink his tea leisurely.

“Stop talking nonsense,” Yang Yunlin was somewhat furious and glared at Yang Qingyin, “How can you speak so carelessly about such matters? Do you think this is a game?”

“You have had plenty of contact with the Ling family despite the bad relations, but it should be fine to be ordinary friends, right?” said Yang Qingyin in a bland tone. “Luo Ziling and I are classmates, and we have many common interests. Shouldn’t there be no problem with us becoming good friends? I haven’t regarded him as my boyfriend, and he has never spoken to me of love or lack thereof. We have nothing now, and if we stay the same in the future, you should be satisfied, right?”

Yang Qingyin’s pride was something Yang Yunlin had always been proud of, but her defiance today was giving him a severe headache.

He wanted to explode with anger, but with his elderly father present, he had to restrain himself and persuade patiently, “Qingyin, you need to be rational. You are not an ordinary girl; you know your own status. You have always been a rational person, and many outstanding boys have pursued you without your heart swaying. This time, you need to be even more rational; otherwise, not only will you have lots of trouble, but our Yang Family will be in trouble as well.”

After pausing for a moment, he spoke severely, “The Luo Family’s illegitimate child secretly returned to Yanjing, breaking the promise of the past. Our Yang Family will not let this go. He cannot stay in Yanjing and must return to the place where he grew up. Their family of three cannot be reunited in this lifetime. So even if you are determined to be with him, you will not manage to stay with him forever. Ling Ruonan’s lesson is right there for you to see. Don’t ruin your entire life.”

“I understand,” Yang Qingyin said, standing up and walking over to Yang Yuanshan, she said softly, “Grandfather, I have remembered your words. I’ve been sitting in a car for half a day and walking for a long time. I’m quite tired and would like to rest early. If I have spoken out of turn, please do punish me. If you have more to say, I’ll listen after I have rested.”

Saying this, she stood quietly, waiting for Yang Yuanshan’s instructions.

“Go on, rest early. Grandfather will also rest,” Yang Yuanshan said as he set down his teacup and stood up. He looked at Yang Qingyin quietly for a few moments before smiling, “Yin’er, visit grandfather when you have time for tea and a chat. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, and grandmother misses you, saying it’s been too long since she had tea brewed by you.”

“I will visit grandmother,” Yang Qingyin said, bowing her head without any change in expression.

Yang Yuanshan did not say anything more, and with a meaningful glance at Yang Yunlin, he turned and left.

Yang Yunlin immediately followed, seeing the elder out.
