Grandpa Lu assumed that Ling Liyuan's repeated questions were about his daughter, Ling Qingyao.
"You've misunderstood. I'm not asking these questions because of Qingyao..."
Grandpa Lu: "Why is that?"
"You may not know this, but when I was young, I had a relationship with Bai Shiyan..."
At that time, Ling Liyuan's father had recently passed away, and his mother was frail and sickly. The heavy responsibility of the family, with internal and external troubles, all fell on his shoulders.
I go to the company every day and work tirelessly, but there are always endless things to deal with, and troubles are everywhere.
Overwork has taken its toll, and at a young age, his body is in a state of severe sub-health.
After collapsing at work, his family flew him to Tangcheng Bai's Hospital overnight.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a beautiful young girl giving him acupuncture.
Later, I heard from the nurse that she was Miss Bai, the Immortal Physician Bai Shiyan.
She was like a ray of warm sunshine, shining into my cold and desolate heart.
During subsequent treatments, they met many times and became familiar with each other.
The more he learned about her, the more he liked her, until he could no longer control his heart and could no longer hide his admiration for her.
But she also knew that her senior brother, Li Wenyuan, also liked her, and she was afraid that she would be in unrequited love.
But he was still unwilling to give up and pursued her relentlessly.
Fortunately, although the two of them had a good relationship, Bai Shiyan did not have romantic feelings for Li Wenyuan.
However, he and Bai Qingyan got along very well, and soon they fell in love.
Just when he thought that the two of them would be together for the rest of their lives, Ling's Real Estate Company ran into trouble, and his mother urged him to go back as soon as possible.
Before leaving, he told his lover, "Wait for me. We'll get married after I've finished dealing with things at the company."
After returning home, he learned that someone had taken advantage of his illness to set him up, and the Ling family was facing bankruptcy.
At the time, I thought, so what if I go bankrupt? I'll be free and can stay with the woman I love. I can help out at the Bai family's place and still live a good life.
But his mother insisted that he marry Miss Kang, who had always been infatuated with him, and then the Kang family bank would lend them a sum of money to revitalize the Ling family company.
(PS: It is said that the Kang family was very powerful back then. Not only did they have the Kang Family Chinese Medicine Hospital and the Kang Family Pharmaceutical, but the Kang Family Bank was also very famous at the time.)
However, it was later suppressed by the Bai family.
The biggest difference between the Bai family and the Kang family is that the Bai family relies on its excellent medical skills and the accumulated heritage of the Bai family over thousands of years, and seeks strength through stability.
Kang's Traditional Chinese Medicine is actually quite good, but it is too commercialized, using too many resources to pursue profits while neglecting the research and improvement of medical skills.
This is also the most fundamental reason why the Kang family lost to the Bai family.
Ling Liyuan did not like Miss Kang, and he had already made a promise to Bai Shiyan, so he firmly disagreed.
His mother told him at the time: "The Ling Group is the result of generations of hard work of the Ling family. We cannot let it be ruined in our hands."
If you refuse, you're forcing me to my death. Anyway, I've had enough of living.
He thought his mother was bluffing him and didn't believe she would really die.
That night, her mother took a large amount of sleeping pills, but fortunately, she was discovered in time and rushed to the hospital and survived.
When he saw his mother lying weakly in the hospital bed with her hair all white, he completely gave in.
With Bai Shiyan's abilities and beauty, she had many suitors at the time, and even after leaving him, she was able to live a good life.
When he saw Bai Shiyan again, he wanted to explain things properly, but she got angry as soon as he said the word "break up".
"Get lost! You've hurt my eyes!"
As a young lady of the Bai family, Bai Shiyan has her own pride.
He left the Bai family in a daze, and not far away he met Li Wenyuan.
"You deceived her feelings and just left?"
When Li Wenyuan's fist landed on him, he neither fought back nor dodged, but simply endured it as atonement.
Only in this way can I feel a little better.
After returning home, he married Miss Kang, just as his mother wished.
From then on, he devoted almost all his energy and time to his work.
As for Miss Kang, who is now Ling Liyuan's wife, now that he has married her, he is trying to love her.
But when it comes to matters of the heart, I can't force myself to fall in love.
As her husband, he could only provide her with all the material comforts he was entitled to, and by being with her, he fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband.
But I can never take my heart back.
With the loan secured, and through his own efforts, the Ling Group turned the tide and developed smoothly, becoming a massive multinational corporation before the disaster, while he himself firmly held the title of the richest man in China.
But the one he loved in his heart could never come back.
In the past few years, he had been busy with his business abroad and had not received much attention in China. It wasn't until he returned home before the disaster that someone told him that Bai Shiyan had passed away.
He almost suffocated and fainted on the spot.
When he was rescued and regained consciousness, his mother told him that the family still needed him to support them.
When the nation faces natural disasters and crises, or when humanity faces existential threats, we must all work together to fight them. He cannot simply abandon us and leave.
So he once again threw himself into his work.
Using his lifelong learning, he led a world-class architectural team to create the unique Chinese Global Village.
Commander: "You suspect that the girl is your daughter?"
When you broke up, was Shiyan pregnant?
"She didn't mention the pregnancy back then, so I didn't know, but the child is a year older than Qingyao, so it should be her."
Grandpa Lu: "I don't care what your relationship is, whether you're related or not, but you're not allowed to hurt the girl."
Recognize her again? I don't seem to have the right.
"How could I possibly hurt that child?"
………………
Meanwhile, Ling Qingyao, who was applying a face mask at home, heard her younger brother Ling Qingyang return and excitedly asked him.
"Is he back?"
"Sister, you have to hang in there!"
"What's wrong? Hasn't he come back?"
"No, he's back. Not only has he returned, but he's also brought a beautiful woman with him."
Ling Qingyao immediately deflated like a punctured balloon and collapsed onto the sofa.
Trembling, she said, "It's her, it must be her! Why doesn't she just die? Why is God doing this to me?"
Just then, Grandma Ling heard her beloved granddaughter's heart-wrenching cries and came out of the house.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong?"
Ling Qingyao hugged her grandmother and started crying.
"Grandma, it's her, it's her."
"Don't worry, Yao Yao, be good and tell me what happened."
