Entering the Luo family mansion.
Zhang Yang followed Luo Yiren, walking towards the deepest part of the estate.
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination.
After entering the Luo family's residence.
Zhang Yang noticed that Luo Yiren's attitude had changed again.
Although he had known Luo Yiren for less than half a day.
And Luo Yiren had shown him various sides of her personality.
However.
Upon returning to the Luo family.
Zhang Yang found that Luo Yiren was like a different person.
This was not a change in personality, but a shift in her state of mind.
Although her expression was calm, beneath that calmness.
Zhang Yang could sense deeper meanings hidden.
It seemed.
Luo Yiren also had many secrets.
However.
Zhang Yang had no interest in prying into others' gossip.
...
Soon.
The two, proceeding deeper into the mansion.
Stopped at the entrance of a pavilion in a wooden building.
This pavilion was antique, unlike the modern villas encountered upon entering the Luo family estate.
"We're here, let's go in," Luo Yiren said.
After speaking.
She directly led Zhang Yang into the pavilion.
At this moment.
Many Luo family members were gathered inside the pavilion.
Seeing this scene.
Luo Yiren was quite surprised.
However, before she could ask, a young woman, about Luo Yiren's age and resembling her in appearance by a third.
Suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Luo Yiren, why are you back?"
Her name was Luo Youmeng, Luo Yiren's half-sister.
At this moment, Luo Youmeng looked at Luo Yiren with great surprise.
Since their grandfather had fallen into a coma, Luo Yiren had rarely returned to the Luo family.
Even when she did return, it was usually late at night, drunk.
This was the first time she had returned during the day.
"What? Are you surprised I'm back?" Luo Yiren's gaze turned cold, her words carrying a hidden meaning.
Luo Youmeng seemed a bit puzzled.
However, since she and Luo Yiren were not on good terms, she immediately retorted sarcastically.
"Surprised? Not really. But I would be very happy if you never returned to the Luo family."
Hearing this, Luo Yiren's eyes flashed with anger. "Even if your mother and you suddenly died, I would still be fine."
"You..." Luo Youmeng was choked with anger.
She hadn't expected Luo Yiren to be so blunt.
Although they were at odds, some things were better left unsaid.
Luo Yiren saying them out loud was a bit too much.
"Dad, look at Sister Yiren, what is she saying? She's cursing my mother and me to die."
Luo Youmeng grabbed Luo Zhiming's arm and shook it, acting spoiled.
Luo Zhiming frowned and looked at Luo Yiren.
"Yiren, you should be more careful with your words."
"Youmeng's mother is also your stepmother, how can you curse her?"
Luo Yiren stared at her father with a cold smile.
"Heh, stepmother?"
"I never acknowledged this stepmother. If I had a choice, I wouldn't even acknowledge you as my own father!"
"You..." Luo Zhiming was both angry and furious.
In front of so many Luo family members.
Luo Yiren was publicly embarrassing him. This...
Luo Zhiming took a deep breath, angrily pointing at Luo Yiren.
He wanted to discipline her, but he felt guilty in his heart.
In the end, he could only reluctantly lower his hand.
After all.
He owed Luo Yiren.
However, Luo Youmeng, standing beside him, was not pleased.
She had always liked to compete with Luo Yiren for things since childhood.
She would not miss such an opportunity.
Luo Youmeng looked wronged.
With tears welling up in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice, she said.
"Sister Yiren, it's fine if you talk about me and Mom, but you can't disrespect Dad."
"In the entire Luo family, besides Grandpa, Dad spoils you the most. Hurry up and apologize to Dad, otherwise Dad will be sad."
Luo Yiren was well aware of her "green tea" sister's ways.
Her eyes were filled with coldness, and she sneered.
"Do I need you to teach me how to speak to Luo Zhiming? Dare to speak again, and I'll slap you right now!"
The car accident she had encountered today had already filled Luo Yiren with anger.
Upon returning.
Luo Youmeng's attitude was also very suspicious.
Therefore.
Luo Yiren had already connected the car accident she experienced with her.
"If slapping me allows you to apologize to Dad, then go ahead and slap me," Luo Youmeng said pitifully.
After speaking.
She even took a few steps forward.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare?"
With that, Luo Yiren raised her right hand to slap her.
Fortunately, Zhang Yang was quick-witted and stopped her.
"Yiren, forget it, don't forget the main business," Zhang Yang said, shaking his head.
Although he also found Luo Youmeng annoying, if Luo Yiren slapped her, her scheme would succeed.
Luo Zhiming's face immediately turned grim, and he looked at Luo Youmeng with some pity.
"Yiren! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"
"We'll discuss this later, don't disrupt Doctor Liao's diagnosis for your grandfather!"
Mentioning her grandfather.
The sharpness in Luo Yiren's eyes finally subsided.
In the Luo family.
She could disregard anyone's feelings.
Only her grandfather, who had always doted on her unconditionally, was someone Luo Yiren truly respected from the bottom of her heart.
"Who is treating Grandpa?" Luo Yiren asked.
Luo Youmeng's voice was weak, but she couldn't hide her inner pride as she said.
"It's Doctor Liao Zixia, the divine doctor from the Qin family. I begged him for a long time before he agreed to come."
"Sister Yiren, please don't make a scene. If you really dislike me, just hit me."
"Just don't disrupt Doctor Liao's diagnosis for Grandpa."
A divine doctor from the Qin family?
Luo Yiren's eyes narrowed immediately.
When did Luo Youmeng have such capabilities to invite Liao Zixia from the Qin family!
Zhang Yang also felt suspicious.
Some things seemed to be connecting into a line of coincidences at this moment.
"What a coincidence? I also brought a divine doctor to treat Grandpa," Luo Yiren said.
A divine doctor?
Luo Yiren and Luo Zhiming were stunned.
They tilted their heads slightly and looked behind Luo Yiren.
However, they didn't see anyone.
This made Zhang Yang feel speechless. Was he so easily overlooked?
Ahem~
Zhang Yang coughed slightly, indicating his presence.
"You?"
Luo Youmeng immediately sized up Zhang Yang from head to toe.
Then, she suppressed a smile.
"Sister Yiren, have you been deceived? He doesn't look like a doctor at all. You can't harm Grandpa."
Luo Zhiming also looked disappointed.
"Yiren, this is not the time for fooling around. Your grandfather's condition cannot withstand such jokes from you."
In fact.
It wasn't just Luo Zhiming and Luo Youmeng who felt this way.
Even the Luo clan members present thought Zhang Yang was incapable.
"He's too young, he doesn't look like someone with real skills."
"Exactly. Look at his sloppy appearance, calling him a village doctor is flattering him."
"Alas, Patriarch Luo spoils Luo Yiren too much, causing her to become lawless and do whatever she wants."
...
Instantly.
The pavilion was filled with sounds of disdain and mockery.
These voices all reached Zhang Yang's ears.
As expected.
No matter where you go, you can't avoid people who judge by appearances.
It truly fits the ancient saying, "Respect the robes before the person."
However, Zhang Yang's current state of mind would not allow him to bother with these clowns.
If everyone questioned him, he would have to explain.
Wouldn't that be too tiring?
At the same time.
Liao Zixia, who had cleared his mind of distractions and was focused on taking the pulse of the ailing Elder Luo on the bed.
Also withdrew his hand at this moment.
Her brows furrowed, and she turned to find Zhang Yang also present.
Immediately, she scrutinized him carefully.
This person.
Was the one their junior disciple had asked them to find.
The things their junior disciple needed were in his hands.
As Liao Zixia examined Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang was also examining her.
Although the two had never truly met.
This first encounter felt as if they were very familiar with each other.
Zhang Yang curled his lips into a half-smile.
This Liao Zixia was from the Qin family.
And the clothes she wore seemed similar to those of the thief who had entered his home.
However, Zhang Yang still had one point to confirm.
So, he did not expose her identity directly.
