The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 264: Chapter 264 The Other Side of Ling Ruonan
Ling Ruonan seriously looked Luo Ziling in the eyes twice but ultimately did not refuse, “Alright then, I’ll listen to you.”

With a cold laugh, she said, “Yang Yuanshan, Yang Yunlin, since so many years have passed and you have not forgotten to seek revenge, then bring it on.”

The words Ling Ruonan uttered with a cold smile made Luo Ziling unable to help but be amazed.

He recalled what Yang Qingyin, Ouyang Feifei, and Ouyang Huihui had said about Ling Ruonan, that his mother was very decisive in her actions, swift and fierce, having the demeanor of a queen.

Seeing Ling Ruonan in tears in front of him, appearing so helpless like a frail woman, Luo Ziling had completely forgotten their evaluation of her. On seeing Ling Ruonan’s tear-stained face, Luo Ziling once thought his mother needed his protection.

But the moment Ling Ruonan’s domineering aura was exposed, Luo Ziling was stunned, realizing that his mother really had such a presence—a queen-like presence.

Ling Ruonan did not notice the fleeting surprise on Luo Ziling’s face. Her expression softened slightly, but her determined look was still there.

“Mom,” Luo Ziling called out gently.

“Ling’er,” Ling Ruonan took Luo Ziling’s hand, her face filled with tenderness again, “Since they now know of your existence, I don’t need to sneak around scared to see you anymore. From now on, Mom will often come to see you, and you should also come home often. Mom will cook meals for you. It’s just Mom now, and it’s good to have Wuyue by my side. When you return to Yanjing, make sure to visit me often.”

Hearing Ling Ruonan say this, Luo Ziling was immediately overjoyed, “Mom, I will surely come to see you often.”

Although he couldn’t pinpoint the exact taste of the dishes they had just eaten, nor could he judge their flavor, he felt that it was the best dinner he had eaten since he became sensible.

When Ling Ruonan had Wuyue pick him up, she told him to dress well so he wouldn’t be recognized. He thought that Ling Ruonan was temporarily afraid to reveal his existence to the public. Hence, he felt a tinge of sadness. Now, Ling Ruonan was telling him there was no need to hide and that he could see her openly and rightfully be her son.

Not needing to hide anything, Luo Ziling of course felt very happy—even with the threat and retaliation from the Yang Family, what was that to him?

He even felt somewhat grateful for the “help” from the Yang Family. If it weren’t for their threat of retaliation, he and Ling Ruonan might not have been able to meet so quickly, nor would they be able to meet openly following this.

“Ling’er, do you really like Yang Qingyin?” After hesitating, Ling Ruonan asked again.

Luo Ziling was a bit embarrassed, unsure of how to answer.

He had already shared his thoughts with Ling Ruonan a moment ago and didn’t expect her to ask again.

“Ling’er, if you like Yang Qingyin, go ahead and pursue her, Mom supports you.” Seeing Luo Ziling’s conflicted expression, Ling Ruonan gritted her teeth and said, “I want to see how Yang Yunlin reacts when he sees his precious daughter become my son’s girlfriend, how utterly infuriated he will be.”

Luo Ziling was again stunned speechless.

He also saw another side of his mother’s nature once again—this woman, her heart was quite ruthless.

Initially, Ling Ruonan advised him not to continue interacting with Yang Qingyin, and now she was encouraging him to pursue her. Luo Ziling could not fathom the real reason behind her change of heart.

Ling Ruonan, seeing Luo Ziling with a dumbfounded expression, immediately softened her tone, “Ling’er, I’ll take you back later. Actually, I should have let you stay here today so we could talk more, just the two of us. But with what has happened, I still need to go and speak with my father and grandfather, as this matter is of great importance. I will personally take you back, and I want the people of the Yang Family to know it was I who did so. I will also let those in the Ling Family with ill intentions know that we have acknowledged each other as family. I want to see what their reactions will be.”

By the end, the smile on Ling Ruonan’s face was gone, replaced by an awe-inspiring authority.

“Alright,” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but feel a deep respect for his mother as he became further convinced of what Ouyang Feifei, Ouyang Huihui, and Yang Qingyin had said about her.

Ling Ruonan glanced at the clock on the wall, which showed it was exactly seven-thirty, and she immediately stood up.

“Ling’er, let’s go. If we delay any longer, your great grandfather will go to bed, and I won’t be able to see him. As long as they give me a word about your matter, I will be satisfied. We can talk more about some things on the way. Tomorrow, I will pick you up again for dinner, and then we two can have a good chat,” Ruonan said.

At this moment, Ling Ruonan no longer exhibited the tearfulness she had upon initially seeing Luo Ziling; instead, she looked every inch the powerful woman.

“Okay,” Luo Ziling, of course, knew that Ling Ruonan’s arrangements were very sensible. Besides, he still needed to digest the day’s events.

With longing, the feeling would become more intense. Luo Ziling thought that after returning tonight and reflecting on everything one by one, the mother-son affection that had been missing for twenty years would grow even deeper.

Fifteen minutes later, Ling Ruonan reappeared before Luo Ziling, having redressed in a way that made her astonishingly gorgeous beyond measure.

The Ling Ruonan now, completely different from the one who was wearing an apron and home dress earlier, amazed Luo Ziling instantly.

He had always known his mother was beautiful, but Ling Ruonan, after dressing herself up, was so stunning it was almost hard to look directly at her.

Her beauty surpassed that of Yang Qingyin, Ouyang Feifei, and Lin Lan, given the mature charm that these women did not possess.

With every gesture and movement, Ling Ruonan radiated composure and confidence, exuding an effortless elegance.

Seeing Luo Ziling staring at her without blinking, Ling Ruonan’s cheeks flushed slightly.

Her maternal instincts surfacing unconsciously, she asked Luo Ziling with a smile, “Ling’er, do I look old?”

“Mom, you are really beautiful, more beautiful than any other woman. If you walk down the street, you’re guaranteed a hundred percent turn-back rate,” Luo Ziling sincerely complimented.

“Apart from a few photos together from when you were little, we haven’t taken any pictures together in these whole nineteen years. Since today is our first meeting, we should capture the moment,” Ling Ruonan suggested, calling over Wuyue, who was waiting outside, to help them take a few photos.

So Luo Ziling leaned against Ling Ruonan’s chest and quietly took a few photos, then took several more with his arms around her against the backdrop of the living room.

Photos were taken with Ling Ruonan’s phone, Wuyue’s own phone, and Luo Ziling’s phone as well.

After seeing that both people looked good in the pictures, Ling Ruonan was satisfied.

“When the time is right, we can both post on social media to let everyone know that we have recognized each other as family,” Ling Ruonan instructed Luo Ziling in a low voice as they were about to get into the car.
