Chapter 750: Chapter 499 - Meeting (Third Watch)_2

Gong Muxue spent her days like this; as long as she wasn’t having an episode, she would sit silently in the courtyard, lost in her thoughts. She would sit there without moving, for the whole day, not bothering anyone.

Not causing a fuss, not crying or laughing; he truly ached seeing Xiaoxue like this.

The old Gong family patriarch feared that Gong Muxue’s husband wouldn’t be able to properly care for her. After she started having episodes of madness, he directly moved her to his own courtyard to care for her, which is why Gong Yu often saw Gong Muxue.

If Gong Muxue had been living in the same courtyard as Gong Ning, she probably wouldn’t see her much at all, she wouldn’t have gone there in the beginning.

Gong Yu many times thought her grandfather really had prescience.

Gong Ning and his father definitely wouldn’t be able to take good care of her aunt.

Anyway, Gong Yu looked at Gong Ning’s courtyard and the people in it with...disdain. A visceral disgust, she really couldn’t help it, those people were just too detestable.

"Okay." Mu Lin nodded, stood up, and followed the old Gong family patriarch towards the other courtyard.

In the other courtyard.

She wore plain clothes, giving off the impression of a well-bred young lady.

Was this Gong Muxue?

Looking at Gong Muxue, Mu Lin’s body instinctively moved a step forward. For some reason, her heart was filled with an inexplicable feeling, as if it was being squeezed.

Could someone like this really be the madwoman they talked about?

No matter what, upon seeing her like this, Mu Lin couldn’t believe it; the woman that her Master had fallen in love with was such a wonderful person.

"Auntie." Gong Yu stepped forward, enthusiastically waving at Gong Muxue.

Hearing the familiar voice, Gong Muxue turned around and appeared very happy when she saw Gong Yu. She got up and wanted to run over to Gong Yu.

"Careful auntie." Gong Yu quickly rushed over to support her. Seeing the sight, the old Gong family patriarch and Mu Lin started to walk towards her. "Xiaoxue." He looked at Gong Muxue with unprecedented tenderness in his eyes.

Gong Muxue looked up and gave the old Gong family patriarch a grin; she seemed very familiar with him.

That smile was so pure and clean, yet it hurt to look at.

Jing Chen silently watched the woman in front of him, holding Mu Lin in his arms.

There was indeed some resemblance between Mu Lin and Gong Muxue, though it was only noticeable in fleeting moments. If scrutinized closely, they didn’t look very similar.

However, Jing Chen noticed that the aura around Mu Lin, when she was calm, was very similar to Gong Muxue’s. Just like when he saw Gong Muxue for the first time, he was reminded of the day when he first met Mu Lin.

Jing Chen believed that the old Gong family patriarch also harbored the same thoughts.

"Auntie, look, I’ve brought a friend with me to visit you." Gong Yu introduced Mu Lin to Gong Muxue and then pointed to Mu Lin. "This is Mu Lin. I met her during my travels. Isn’t she pretty?" Gong Yu was extremely proud when she mentioned how pretty Mu Lin was, as if she was talking about herself.

Gong Yu compared Gong Muxue to Mu Lin and said, "Auntie, you and Mu Lin even look a bit alike." It seemed like it was really fate that brought Mu Lin and the Gong family together.

Gong Yu seemed oblivious to the sudden change in atmosphere caused by her statement. Both the old Gong family patriarch and Gong He were momentarily lost in thought. After a pause, Gong Yu continued, "However, if you look more closely, you don’t look alike."

It was as if they were observing; nobody but Mu Lin and Jing Chen noticed Gong Muxue’s change of expression when she saw Mu Lin.

Gong Muxue’s face showed a strange expression, she seemed joyous but also in disbelief. What was worse, there was a hint of unrestrained madness in her eyes.

The next moment, she suddenly lunged towards Mu Lin, breaking free from Gong Yu’s hold.

Jing Chen instinctively tried to stop her, fearing that she would harm Mu Lin, but Mu Lin stopped him.

Although she seemed mad, Mu Lin didn’t see any malice in Gong Muxue’s eyes. She didn’t want to hurt her, right? Instead... Mu Lin’s brows furrowed slightly.

She even thought, could Gong Muxue...still remember her?

That...couldn’t be possible!

"Daughter." Gong Muxue flung herself into Mu Lin’s arms, hugging her tightly and repeatedly mumbling, "My daughter, you’ve finally come back. I thought, I thought that you didn’t want your mother."

"So, I’ve been waiting here, waiting all this time, waiting for so long, but you’d never returned; but now, you’re finally back." The happiness on her face had turned into a grin, seemingly mixed with a hint of madness and a touch of pathetic...as if Mu Lin was the one who abandoned her.

"Auntie, you’ve got the wrong person." As soon as Gong Yu came back to her senses, she quickly went over to Gong Muxue, attempting to pull her apart, "This is Mu Lin, not Gong Ning."

She simply couldn’t understand, how could her auntie have mistaken her for someone else?

"No, no..." Gong Muxue turned around and pushed Gong Yu away forcefully, "Evil ones, go away! I won’t let you take away my daughter from me again, leave!" The words that came out of her mouth held a shrillness that made her face appear as ferocious as a beast.

Caught off guard by Gong Muxue’s surprisingly strong push, Gong Yu was knocked to the ground.

"Second Miss." Gong He came back to his senses, rushing over to help Gong Yu up.

Gong Yu got up and tried to approach Gong Muxue again. "Auntie, what’s wrong with you? I’m Yuyu, your favorite Yuyu. Don’t you recognize me?"
