Mated at First Sight
Chapter 745 - 497: Gong Yu’s Little Report (One More)_1

The old master looked slightly puzzled.

His back to the others, although there were almost no changes in his voice, Mu Lin still felt a minor difference based on that single nuance - This old master of Gong Family held slight discrepancies towards Gong Yu and Gong Ning.

The tone of voice was much gentler.

"Yes, grandpa." Gong Yu moved forward slightly, stopping next to Mu Lin and Jing Chen.

"Who are these two?" The old master’s gaze shifted from Gong Yu to Mu Lin and Jing Chen, asking with a slight frown.

Gong Ning gloated.

"They are the ones I invited back to treat my aunt’s illness." At this point, Gong Yu’s original response had pretty much been thrown away. Well then, let’s tell the truth; whether she’d return or retreat, the situation won’t be much different.

Moreover, Gong Yu believed that her grandpa wasn’t an unreasonable man. As long as she explained well, he would surely forgive her.

Treat an illness?" Hearing Gong Yu’s words, surprise crossed the old master’s face as he nodded slightly, " You are thoughtful". Indeed, her affection towards her aunt was very clear to him.

There were no signs of anger. Gong Ning gritted her teeth while Gong Yu instinctively let out a sigh of relief.

Gong He stood behind the old master, smiling at Gong Yu, noticing her vulnerable demeanor.

The only one capable of making her look this way was the old master. These children didn’t understand that the old master was a bit more imposing than others, but in other aspects, he was fine.

As long as you don’t provoke his taboo.

And the old master’s taboo was Gong Muxue.

In other words, Gong Yu’s aunt and Mu Lin’s..biological mother, whom he had never met before.

But if Gong Yu could keep this in mind, the old master would be somewhat relieved. However.

He frowned slightly. Seeing her grandpa’s expression, Gong Yu hurriedly continued before he could ask, "Grandpa, I heard Uncle Gong say you’re curious about the Poison Doctor, so I brought her back today. She said she’s very interested in my aunt’s illness." She felt it was better to confess directly.

After speaking, she nervously watched the old master, carefully observing the changes on his face.

However, hearing Gong Yu’s words, Gong Ning at the side huffed coldly. "What Poison Doctor? I see her as a swindler. Only you would be foolish enough to bring her back to our house, not afraid that she might be a spy." Gong Ning didn’t seem to care, her voice filled with thick sarcasm.

Mu Lin curled her lip while Jing Chen slightly held Mu Lin’s hand, playing with it. His facial expression didn’t change; however, the corners of his cold, indifferent mouth lifted slightly in a smirk.

Gong Yu glared at Gong Ning indignantly, "I won’t allow you to speak of Mu Lin in this way, I think you’re the one who seems like a swindler." She and her father had deceived everyone in the Gong Family. She scoffed and added sarcastically, "Oh right, I almost forgot, you look down on your own mother and even said my aunt is a lunatic. I think you’re the crazy one who isn’t normal, who are you to judge others?"

Her aunt was merely ill and would get better. If Gong Ning were a real daughter, wouldn’t she feel heartache and not speak ill of her?

Gong Yu really wanted to rush up and hit her.

"Lunatic." A deep voice rang out with icily sharp eyes shot straight at Gong Ning at that moment, "Gong Ning, who gave you the courage to speak of your mother in this way?"

Gong Muxue’s madness was a forbidden topic to the old master. In the Gong Family and even among some of the surrounding families, no one dared to describe Gong Muxue as a lunatic. Gong Ning, indeed had quite some nerve.

"Grandpa, I didn’t, don’t listen to Gong Yu’s nonsense, you know she dislikes me." When Gong Ning saw her grandpa’s anger, she became anxious. In the Gong Family, who dared to go against their grandpa’s taboo? Where did she gain such courage?

She angrily glanced at Gong Yu and noticed the schadenfreude on her face, gritting her teeth.

Gong Yu scoffed; don’t think she was the only one who could spread rumors to stir the pot, she could too.
