Chapter 752: Chapter 500: Qualification (First Update)_2

Gentleness.

Is this the look of a mother? Even if she is foolish, even if she is crazy, she can still recognize her child at a glance among countless people, even if the child is completely different from before.

If it was before, Mu Lin might not understand, but now, she feels she can understand, because she too is about to become a mother. If it were her child...

The scene before everyone’s eyes is so beautifully poignant, they can hardly bring themselves to disrupt it.

Gong He was nearly reduced to tears. Seeing this scene, he felt as if his Mistress had returned, truly returned.

However, this serene and tranquil scene was completely dissembled in the next moment.

"Father." A man’s voice rang from a distance, and Gong Muxue, who had been joyfully looking at Mu Lin, suddenly became unsteady, grasping Mu Lin’s hand tighter.

She was nervous, and... scared?

Frowning slightly, Mu Lin glanced at Jing Chen, then they both turned to look at the man who was slowly approaching them.

"Why are you here?" The old master Gong frowned at the newcomer, his expression disapproving.

The meaning of unwelcome was very obvious.

"I just returned, heard that Ningning was locked up by you, father, so I wanted to come over..."

He had intended to either inquire about the situation or plead for leniency, but the master Gong didn’t let him finish.

"This is none of your business. She deserves it. If you really don’t want me to punish her again, then properly teach your daughter what filial piety means."

"Yes." The man nodded without saying anything, knowing that anything he said would have been useless. He lifted his head and looked anxiously at Gong Muxue, "How is Xuexue?"

"She was fine." Master Gong replied bluntly, his distaste clearly evident.

The man’s face stiffened momentarily, then he laughed it off again as though unaffected and said, "I’ll go check on her," before starting off in Gong Muxue’s direction before Master Gong could stop him.

Then, once again, Gong Muxue shielded Mu Lin behind her, "Don’t come any closer... I won’t let you hurt my daughter."

The man’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.

"Xuexue, what are you saying? Our daughter isn’t here." His gaze shifted from Mu Lin to Gong Muxue before stepping forward again, "Xuexue, dear, there are guests here, don’t embarrass us. I’ll take you back to the room to rest."

The consoling in his voice was filled with amusement.

However, Mu Lin saw through the stiffness in his gaze the moment he first saw her.

He... recognizes her.

For some reason, such a thought arose in Mu Lin’s mind.

Could this man be the one that her Master mentioned, her so-called "father?" Is someone like him qualified to be her father? That would indeed be the biggest insult to her.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Mu Lin’s mouth.

"Ah... Stay back." But the moment the man stepped closer, Gong Muxue became frantic again, protecting Mu Lin while backing away, "Don’t come near." Mu Lin gently supported her from behind.

Regrettably, the man kept advancing.

Master Gong had just stepped forward to admonish him when he saw Mu Lin shield Gong Muxue behind herself in an instant.

Looking at the man before her, Mu Lin’s gaze turned icy.

"Didn’t you hear her tell you to stay away? Or has old age left you hard of hearing?"

When talking to those she disdains, Mu Lin doesn’t mince words.

"This is my wife. Her current emotional state is unstable; I’ll escort her back to the room to rest." The man frowned at Mu Lin, "I believe you as an outsider have no rights in this matter."

He had never once asked about Mu Lin’s identity.

In fact, his heart was in a jumble when he heard Gong Muxue refer to Mu Lin as her daughter, especially in light of Mu Lin’s wise, knowing gaze.

Hearing this, Master Gong frowned, ready to scold him again, but was stopped by Jing Chen, "Linlin can handle it." Although puzzled, Master Gong didn’t say anything further.

Jing Chen thought, his wife probably wanted to deal with this issue by herself.

Especially with the man before their eyes... his wife disliked him.

"Am I truly an outsider?" Mu Lin responded with a smile, but ignored his icy gaze, with a hint of a smile, "I believe, standing here, it is you who looks more like an outcast, doesn’t it?"

"What do you mean by that?" The man’s voice trembled slightly.

"It just means what it means. If you can’t understand that, I can only extend my deepest sympathy. It seems not only are you hard of hearing, your mind is dull as well." Mu Lin expressed with sincere pity in her eyes.

After hearing her words, Gong Yu couldn’t help but chuckled, immediately covering his mouth, his eyes rolling around.

What Mu Lin just said was...cool.

Whether it was her gaze or tone, Gong Yu’s admiration for Mu Lin had just reached a new level.

Even Master Gong and Gong He couldn’t help but cough to hide their amusement.

No wonder Jing Chen didn’t want to step in, this so-called Poison Doctor... has a truly venomous tongue.

Master Gong thought, this side of Mu Lin was more likable, bringing an unexpected reality to the legendary character.

He liked her very much.
