The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 250: Chapter 250 Self-Blame

In the evening, Yang Qingyin slept at home.

After returning to her room, she locked the door from the inside. Her mother, Chen Qiaoyu, knocked on the door, wanting to talk to her, but she refused.

She was angry with her mom, and also with her grandfather and dad, but she knew that now was not the time to be angry.

She already had a rough idea of what had happened in the past, and she also knew what kind of punishment Luo Ziling and his father Luo Xusheng, as well as his mother Ling Ruonan, had received.

The people of the Yang Family did not allow Luo Ziling and his father Luo Xusheng to return to Yanjing, and they forbade the family of three from seeing each other this was a fact made abundantly clear.

Her grandfather, the man at the center of power who never bothered with trivial matters, had actually personally inquired about the incident today. From the restrained fury in her grandfather’s demeanor, Yang Qingyin knew just how serious the consequences were.

If even her father’s anger alone could complicate things, let alone without her grandfather’s personal involvement.

Even though Yang Qingyin felt somewhat connected to the events of the past, whereby her uncle died chasing the eloping Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan, she felt more sympathy for the plight of Luo Ziling’s family.

Not to mention that, after being in contact with Luo Ziling for so long, her emotions toward him had changed.

For Yang Qingyin now, Luo Ziling was a very important person in her life. With so many beautiful moments shared and so many joyous memories hard to forget, her considerations were naturally biased in favor of Luo Ziling.

Yang Qingyin also felt a great deal of self-reproach, clearly recognizing that a major reason why things had turned out this way was her own boldness and carelessness.

The day her mother suddenly burst into the place where they were dining, she should have considered that Luo Ziling’s background would soon be thoroughly investigated by them. She should have reacted in time, and she should not have gone on a trip publicly with Luo Ziling during the national holiday.

She had underestimated the impact of this issue on the elders of the Yang Family and overestimated her own status in her parents’ hearts.

She was filled with regret.

Of course, she also resented her parents, especially her mother Chen Qiaoyu.

If it hadn’t been for Chen Qiaoyu’s curiosity, then Luo Ziling’s identity would not have been exposed.

Had Luo Ziling’s identity remained unknown, it would not have alarmed her grandfather.

She also resented her bodyguard Ye Xiaoli, but after some thought, she forgave Ye Xiaoli.

She understood Ye Xiaoli’s loyalty; her mother Chen Qiaoyu wanted to find out about the boy she was hanging out with and inquired with Ye Xiaoli. Ye Xiaoli certainly didn’t dare to disobey the order and eventually told Chen Qiaoyu about Luo Ziling’s whereabouts.

Yang Qingyin believed that Ye Xiaoli never imagined the situation would turn out like this.

She couldn’t send Ye Xiaoli away; Yang Qingyin believed that, in the days to come, Xiaoli would be very important to her.

There were many things she would find inconvenient to do herself, and she would certainly need Xiaoli’s help.

“Yin’er, please open the door, mom would like to talk to you,” Chen Qiaoyu’s voice rose again, along with the sound of knocking.

Yang Qingyin ignored her and lay on the bed thinking.

“Yin’er, don’t be angry anymore. It’s all mom’s fault. Can you open the door and talk to mom, please?” Chen Qiaoyu said again through the door, “Can we two women talk about this matter, okay?”

“Mom, I’m tired and getting ready to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow,” Yang Qingyin finally replied, “I’m already in bed.”

With that, she even turned off the light in her room.

Chen Qiaoyu outside the door let out a soft sigh, but finally stopped knocking.

The world became quiet, and Yang Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief.

She took out her phone, wanting to give Luo Ziling a call to explain the situation.

But after finding Luo Ziling’s phone number, she didn’t have the courage to call.

Luo Ziling also hadn’t called or sent her any messages, she knew he was definitely waiting for her call or message. He hadn’t contacted her only because he was afraid of stirring up trouble.

After thinking it over, she sent Luo Ziling a WeChat message, “Junior, are you tired today?”

Luo Ziling replied almost instantly, “I’m not tired, senior, you must be tired, right?”

Then another message followed right away, “How did things go?”

Behind it were several embarrassed emojis.

“Nothing much, don’t worry,” Yang Qingyin replied with a message, then immediately followed with another, “I will return to the school tomorrow, and we can meet and talk then, okay?”

“Of course, that’s fine,” Luo Ziling certainly wouldn’t refuse, his message followed by several very happy emojis.

Yang Qingyin suddenly didn’t know what to say.

She felt extremely depressed and really wanted to talk to Luo Ziling about all these depressing things, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it, nor did she know how to start.

After waiting a while and not seeing any message from Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling sent another, “Senior, are you really okay? I have a feeling something is not right.”

“Nothing, don’t worry.” Yang Qingyin quickly replied with a message.

“I feel like you are in a bad mood right now and can’t think of anything to say to me, right?”

Seeing Luo Ziling’s message, Yang Qingyin couldn’t help feeling a bit sentimental; she again thought of telling Luo Ziling what had just happened.

She felt that he should know about these things, it’s just that it wasn’t clear to say over WeChat, and she didn’t know how to phrase it now.

Just then, Luo Ziling sent a request for a video call.

Yang Qingyin hesitated for a moment but ultimately accepted and turned on the light.

Soon, Luo Ziling’s smiling face appeared on her phone screen.

“Senior, where are you?”

“I’m at home.” Seeing Luo Ziling’s smile, for some reason, Yang Qingyin’s heart settled down a lot.

She liked seeing Luo Ziling’s smile, his face was pure and shy, with clear eyes when he smiled, compelling one to take another look.

After looking for a while, it felt like she was completely immersed in it.

When she was feeling down and saw that smile, the warm feeling in her heart was truly indescribable.

“Senior, you lied to me just now. Looking at your complexion, I know something unpleasant must have happened.” While Yang Qingyin was lost in thought, Luo Ziling’s voice came through again, “Your parents must have scolded you, right? I’m really sorry, I caused you trouble. How about I visit your parents sometime and let them talk to me about whatever it is, okay?”

“No, that’s not a good idea,” Yang Qingyin shook her head without hesitation, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m just afraid of causing a conflict between you and them.”

“What happened?” The smile on Luo Ziling’s face faded, “Can you tell me what occurred?”

“It’s not easy to explain over the phone, how about we talk when we meet tomorrow, okay?” Yang Qingyin tried to smile forcedly, “I will definitely come to the school to find you tomorrow and tell you everything.”

“Alright, then we’ll talk face to face tomorrow. You must be tired today, get some sleep early.”

“Yeah, good night.”
