Chapter 138: Jumping Between Loyalty and Morality

Luo Yunyan raised her eyebrows, "Mrs. Lin is here in person?"

"That's right. Your uncle Gu and aunt Lin also came with us. They brought a lot of expensive gifts. Your father and I couldn't refuse them at all."

"How could those people be so despicable? Lin Yuan is a great hero, but those sewer maggots just can't stand to see us doing well."

When talking about the reason why Lin Yuan was injured, Su Wanru's face was full of contempt and disgust.

A hint of surprise flashed across Luo Yunyan's eyes, even though the news of Uncle Lin's injury had been blocked from the public in order to avoid causing panic among the public.

But it is not surprising that the Luo family would know about it. Not to mention that my uncle is in politics, just the Luo family's huge network of relationships and the friendship between these families are such that it is expected that they would receive the news.

But what she didn't expect was that Mrs. Lin would come to her house in person to express her gratitude.

This is completely different from the concept of the wives of these families being friends and besties, and usually making plans to go out together to travel, go shopping, have afternoon tea, play cards, have parties, and chat about gossip.

After all, in a wealthy family like theirs, the words and actions of the mistress in public represent the face and image of the entire family.

When you get home and close the door, no one cares what the real situation at home is.

But if they go outside, every move will be magnified infinitely by people with ulterior motives, let alone a military and political family like the Lin family.

For example, her mother, everyone who saw her outside would praise her, saying that the mistress of the Luo family was a gentle, elegant, and dignified lady from a noble family. She treated people with gentleness and courtesy, but with just the right amount of distance.

Even when she met someone who was blind, she was always gentle and kind. With just a few words, she could make someone feel ashamed.

A gentle knife, each cut takes a life.

But who could have imagined that this was a lady from a noble family who would go to the mountains and rivers at home?

Luo Yunyan had only lived at home for less than two months, but she had already seen her father being kicked out and sleeping in the guest room several times.

The Lin family's move clearly means that although Bai Zhu affirmed Lin Yuan's achievements and did not charge them any fees for saving people, the people were ultimately invited by Luo Yunyan.

Since they have already owed this favor, even if the Lin family is not as financially capable as the Luo family, they will do their best to repay it in other ways in the future.

Alas, what a big misunderstanding. I'm afraid everyone thinks that she helped them get Baizhu because she owed a favor to someone important.

Actually, it’s just... the gas cost for the round trip from the camp to the main hospital, and one day of vacation.

Luo Yunyan raised her hand to appease Su Wanru, "It's because our country is getting better and better, and with the presence of Uncle Lin, a fierce tiger in the army, they feel intimidated, so they resort to such despicable means."

"That's right, but they said you invited the miraculous doctor Bai Shu...?"

"An elder contacted me first that day because he knew in advance that Bai Zhu was my friend. Coincidentally, Bai Zhu was right next to me at the time, so we answered the phone together. It was she who took the initiative to nod and agree, so I was able to accompany her to the main hospital."

Luo Yunyan patiently explained to her, "And you should have heard of Bai Shu's rules. The reason she saved Uncle Lin was not only because of me, but more because of Uncle Lin's character."

"So I really don't owe anyone any favors. If you go shopping with Aunt Lin and the others someday, just mention it. Since our family has already accepted the gift, the matter will naturally be over. They don't need to feel like they owe me anything. As for Bai Zhu, I've already taken care of it."

At worst, when I return to headquarters one day, I can go to the warehouse and grab a few antiques to give to her.

Jiang Yining: I'd rather you send me money than antiques. My lab desperately needs it. Please just pay me to death. Thank you.

Su Wanru patted her hands and said, "Okay, Mom will tell her in person someday. That pill Ningning gave us and the elderly people in the family before, saying it was a health supplement made by a famous doctor. Could that famous doctor also be Baizhu?"

Luo Yunyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, she also knows Baizhu. Those are tonics that are good for the body. You can tell her after you finish eating them, or you can tell me directly."

That was when Jiang Yining came back for dinner and secretly took the pulses of several elders. He made pills based on each person's physical condition.

Unfortunately, she herself did not want to reveal her identity, so she deliberately put all the credit on that "famous doctor".

Alas, life is not easy, Xiao Luo is acting.

"No wonder, ever since taking that medicine, your grandfather's rheumatism has improved a lot, and your grandmother's insomnia symptoms have never appeared again."

"By the way, we also have some rare medicinal herbs at home. When the time comes, you can take a few of them to Doctor Bai in your and Ningning's names as a small token of our family's appreciation."

"Also, the gifts the Lin family sent last time are still in the warehouse, waiting for you to come back and deal with them. You can pick some and take them away when you come."

Su Wanru taught her earnestly, "Although you are friends, one thing is one thing. Friendship needs to be maintained by both parties. One-sided consumption is not enough."

Her daughter has not grown up with her. All she can do now, besides giving her love and tolerance, is to teach her some principles of daily life.

Luo Yunyan felt warm in her heart and agreed one by one, "Okay, I understand what you said, I will go and take a look later."

"Okay, it's almost time for dinner. Mom will make you some spare ribs." Su Wanru said nothing more, touched her head, and got up and walked towards the kitchen.

The family should be grateful to the miraculous doctor Bai Zhu for giving them medicine, but she would not bypass Luo Yunyan and Jiang Yining to negotiate directly with them. She would not use this as a gimmick to show off.

As for that elder, since Luo Yunyan didn't mention his name, it meant that either she didn't know him, or his identity needed to be kept secret, so she wouldn't ask him any further.

The words just now will only stay in this room and won't go out.

Because no matter what, those were their own connections, not hers, Su Wanru's, or the Luo and Su families'.

As the mistress of a top family, she does have this vision.

Her daughter was able to establish the world's largest conglomerate at such a young age, so is it surprising that she knows some important people?

Even if I tell her now that Luo Yunyan can fly, she will not only believe it, but can even calmly praise her: Nannan is really amazing.

Luo Yunyan: Mom, I really don’t know how to do this.

…

On the other side, Lin Si came to pick up Gu Shilin to go to the company.

Along the way, he kept looking at the rearview mirror, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

After noticing his gaze several times, Gu Shilin raised his eyes and looked at him directly.

"You have something to say?"

“No…no.”

"If you don't have any, just look at the road. The road conditions aren't written on my face. Does looking at my face mean you can drive in an F1 race?"

Lin Si's heart was torn between loyalty and morality. He prepared himself mentally and didn't know whether to say it or not.
