Chapter 747: Chapter 498: So It’s You (Second Update)_1

Yet, when the old Master Gong saw Mu Lin, he was shocked.

Truly shocked.

"Young girl, it’s you!" He had not expected it.

Master Gong hadn’t thought that the girl before him would be someone he is familiar with; or perhaps it’d be more accurate to say that they had once had a long...disconnected relationship.

On seeing Master Gong, Mu Lin was somewhat taken aback as well.

Wasn’t he the old man who went fishing with her last time? She could tell he must be some wealthy family’s elderly patriarch seeking diversion outside his mansion. She didn’t expect, however, that he was her mother’s father, namely her titular grandfather.

What an extraordinary coincidence; in that one day, she had met her cousin as well as her paternal grandfather. Did influential figures all tend to gather in places with lots of people?

Mu Lin suddenly discovered that she seemed to already have a connection with the Gong family, as if by fate.

Even though they didn’t know each other, when they met, it was always different from other people; no wonder she agreed to go fishing with the old man that time.

Was this the so-called blood connection?

Mu Lin expressed that it was somewhat incredible.

The corner of her mouth raised slightly, "Old Sir, long time no see." Her cold voice carried a hint of laughter.

Actually, if one were to calculate, it really hadn’t been that long.

"Indeed, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other. I’ve been missing you, young girl." His face is full of joy and satisfaction, making everyone present stare in disbelief.

In fact, Old Master Gong had always been curious about Mu Lin’s identity and he had a very good impression of her.

The instant he saw Mu Lin, Old Master Gong felt as if the annoyance in his heart had vanished completely.

From the first moment he saw this girl, he felt he had a connection with her and liked her a lot.

"Grandpa, do you also know Mu Lin?" Gong Yu was seeing the joyful smile her grandpa for the first time.

"Indeed," Master Gong nodded, "I bumped into this girl when I went out for a stroll last time. To be honest, she even saved my life once. " If it hadn’t been for Mu Lin, he might have really fallen into the lake, and he wouldn’t know where he would be now.

"Really! As expected, our Gong family and Mu Lin are truly meant to be." It turns out that not only did Mu Lin save her, but she also saved her grandfather. Gong Yu felt that their encounter with Mu Lin was predestined.

However, seeing how cheerful her grandpa was upon seeing Mu Lin, Gong Yu knew her alarm had been completely lifted.

It’s great! It was indeed the right decision to bring Mu Lin home!

Looking at the three of them happily together, Gong Ning clenched her fists, her sharp fingertips embedding into her flesh without her noticing.

She had originally wanted to watch Mu Lin being ordered by her grandfather to leave, but unexpectedly, Mu Lin knew her grandfather as well.

With a cold snort, Gong Ning couldn’t bear to watch any longer and turned to leave, heading to the ancestral hall to kneel and face the wall.

She gritted her teeth.

Ever since meeting Mu Lin, Gong Ning felt like everything was going against her. Sure enough, they were natural enemies.

But what she didn’t know was that the unhappy events were just beginning.

...

"Girl, are you really the Poison Doctor?" It’s not that he didn’t believe it, but Master Gong couldn’t help expressing his disbelief as he gazed into Mu Lin’s eyes.

Later, he even attempted to digest the medicine Mu Lin used to improve his health, but neither success, nor clarity was found in figuring out the ingredients by anyone in the Gong family, including himself.

It truly stumped him.

Just from that point alone, he had already believed what Mu Lin said.

However, the real Mu Lin was vastly different from the rumored one.

It was said that the Poison Doctor kills countless people and disregards human life, yet she had helped him, a stranger she had met for the first time. This was indeed a stark contrast to the rumors.

Moreover, she was still so young. Truly, youngsters are not to be underestimated.

Hearing Master Gong’s words, Mu Lin could only nod with a touch of helplessness, "This title was inexplicably given to me by others before I even knew about it. Now, I’ve gotten used to being referred to as such. It’s just a title after all." It really wasn’t a big deal, especially for the Gong family.

Mu Lin chuckled lightly before adding, "You can just call me Mu Lin, Sir."

"Alright, Mu Lin." Master Gong grinned, pausing for a moment before adding "But, I feel calling you ’young girl’ feels more intimate." He very much liked this address.
