The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Cunning Old Fox
Luo Ziling was having tea in the pavilion with Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei when Ouyang Huihui also returned.

But she only came over to say hello and, claiming she was feeling unwell, ran back to her room to rest.

“What’s wrong with Huihui?” Ouyang Lingyun thought it was a bit strange. “Is she sick?”

“She complained about a stomachache the other day, and Ziling treated her. There should be nothing serious.” Ouyang Feifei finally broke her long silence and spoke up.

“I’ll go check on her later. There shouldn’t be any problem,” Luo Ziling quickly added.

“Alright then,” Ouyang Lingyun agreed. He glanced at Ouyang Feifei and then whispered to Luo Ziling, “There’s still some time before dinner. How about you go now to check on Huihui?”

“Okay,” Luo Ziling did not refuse and immediately stood up. “Then I’ll go have a look.”

“Have Jin Guoqiang take you there.” Ouyang Lingyun called over the steward, Jin Guoqiang, who was waiting for orders, to take Luo Ziling to find Ouyang Huihui.

Seeing Ouyang Lingyun give such instructions, Ouyang Feifei, who had originally intended to accompany Luo Ziling, very tactfully did not stand up.

After Luo Ziling left, Ouyang Feifei asked Ouyang Lingyun, “Grandfather, why did you do that?”

“Don’t you refuse to accept his cancellation of the engagement?” Ouyang Lingyun sighed softly, “If that’s the case, then we have to make the situation sound more serious and get him to distance himself from the Yang Family’s young granddaughter sooner.”

Ouyang Feifei remained silent, unsure of what opinion to express.

“Regardless of what the Ling Family and the Yang Family’s stance is, the best way is to separate them as soon as they’ve met. The likelihood of them getting together is the smallest then.” Ouyang Lingyun looked at Ouyang Feifei affectionately, “I know you have a good impression of Ziling and you’re not willing to be dismissed by him. Thus, I can only try to bring the two of you together. The threat from the Ling and Yang families is significant, and it’s difficult for those two to come together. If you could help, have more contact with him, and not be so aloof towards him, with your looks and knowledge, it wouldn’t be difficult to move him.”

“Grandfather, you belittle me too much.” Ouyang Feifei’s pride was slightly wounded, and she couldn’t help but complain.

“Actually, Ling Jinhua and Ling Qirui are still willing to accept him. If they hadn’t tacitly agreed, Ling Ruonan wouldn’t have been able to bring him back,” Ouyang Lingyun ignored Ouyang Feifei’s complaint, “Since these two old masters have given their consent, it means that one day he will be able to return to the Ling Family.

Given Ling Ruonan’s current status in the Ling Family, as long as the two old masters accept him, his status will certainly surpass that of the ordinary descendants of the Ling Family. If his abilities are strong as well, his status will be even higher. With the power of the Ling Family, perhaps he could achieve great things. This was the main reason Grandfather originally wanted to engage our families, and it still is. Since you don’t dislike him and aren’t willing to be dismissed by him, then we can try to reinstate the marriage arrangement. If you show him your best side, I believe he will come to like you, and you will also gain Ruonan’s approval.”

“Grandfather, I know what you’re saying makes sense, and I have been doing so, but I always feel uneasy,” Ouyang Feifei was willing to open up to her grandfather, “Being the one to chase, competing with another woman for a man, I really don’t want to do it.”

“I know, you won’t acknowledge any form of defeat, and you definitely wouldn’t want to be outshone by the young granddaughter of the Yang Family, so you will certainly continue. Grandfather is just helping you. Of course, Grandfather is also considering the Ouyang Family’s interests. If we can form a marriage alliance with the Ling Family, our political status will definitely rise significantly. You know that the Ouyang Family lacks nothing but political status.” Because he was very fond of Ouyang Feifei, Ouyang Lingyun did not hide his intentions. “If Luo Ziling is eventually accepted by the Ling Family, and you become his wife, then your status will be unmatched.”

Ouyang Feifei understood her grandfather’s full intentions and couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness inside, though she did not respond immediately.

After some serious thought, she said softly, “If he finds out we are using him, he will definitely resent us. I’m afraid it might backfire.”

“Grandfather knows your abilities, and even though you haven’t experienced much in the way of romance, you are truly outstanding. There are countless men pursuing you, and just by that fact, Grandfather knows your charm. Luo Ziling doesn’t look at you with dislike either, and with more interactions, I simply don’t believe he won’t end up liking you,” Ouyang Lingyun said. After an awkward cough, he continued, “When something substantive happens between you, he won’t be able to escape your grasp.”

“Grandfather,” Ouyang Feifei immediately blushed, stood up abruptly, and said, “I won’t keep you company for tea any longer.”

With that, she got up and left.

Watching Ouyang Feifei’s annoyed departure, Ouyang Lingyun smiled helplessly and continued to drink tea alone.

Luo Ziling, of course, never suspected that after he left, Ouyang Feifei and Ouyang Lingyun would have such a conversation. Feeling a twinge of guilt towards Ouyang Huihui, he had rushed over to check on her as soon as Ouyang Lingyun asked him to provide treatment.

After Ouyang Huihui returned to her room and lay down on her bed, she hadn’t even cursed Luo Ziling in her heart for the third time when she heard someone knocking at the door. Opening it, she was slightly surprised to find the housekeeper Jin Guoqiang leading Luo Ziling to her, and she couldn’t help but feel a little taken aback.

“Come in,” she said to Luo Ziling with a huff, then walked back into her room.

“Still feeling unwell?” Luo Ziling followed her in with a smile, “Let me check on you again.”

“You’re so annoying. Do you think that after one treatment, the illness will be cured? You don’t care about people at all,” Ouyang Huihui said, feeling aggrieved, and couldn’t help pouting her pretty lips as she spoke.

Even she didn’t notice that her complaint carried a certain unusual sentiment.

Luo Ziling didn’t mind her complaint, and of course he thought Ouyang Huihui had a point, regardless, he had to be concerned about the follow-up situation. Providing follow-up care after treatment is a duty and responsibility that healers must fulfill.

Luo Ziling asked Ouyang Huihui to lie down on the bed so he could check on her again.

Ouyang Huihui obediently lay down, but as she did, she caught Luo Ziling glancing at her perky chest, and she blushed, huffing softly, “Pervert.”

Luo Ziling, who had only glanced at Ouyang Huihui’s chest subconsciously, became instantly embarrassed after hearing her low insult.

As if possessed, he glanced at her chest again and thought back to their previous embarrassing encounters.

He suddenly felt an unusual sensation in his body, as well as a slightly awkward reaction.
