Chapter 754: 501

But the one thing was, he absolutely could not let Mr. Gong know the truth of everything; otherwise, his efforts in the past twenty-odd years would all be in vain.

Tang Qian.

Mu Lin sneered. What a ground-breaking name for the man before her, but... Tang.

Turns out, he’s from the Tang family too.

The corner of Mu Lin’s lips curved slowly. She originally intended to continue with her mischief, preferably leaving the person half-dead. However, she did not expect that Mr. Gong would side with her so unhesitatingly. Obviously, she was the one who harmed someone for no reason, but she didn’t think Mr. Gong was blind to the fact that she did it on purpose.

Mu Lin suddenly felt that she might be starting to like this old man who was so straightforward.

No, it’s Grandpa.

"Father." The man stood up straight. He wanted to say more, but he was halted by Mr. Gong’s stern gaze. His meaning was very clear. Gong continued saying, "Mu Lin was the one I invited back to treat Xiaoxue. If you keep upsetting her, don’t blame me for breaking off our relationship."

In Mr. Gong’s eyes, no one could compete with his beloved daughter in any aspect; much less the man in front of him, who was a man who had married into the Gong family.

In the Tang family, the only ones that could catch Mr. Gong’s eye were the two brothers, Tang Qishan and Tang Qichuan. As for the others... there was no need to even mention them.

Furthermore, the expression Mu Lin just showed, and the composed look Muxue had when she saw Mu Lin, were all things that greatly pleased Mr. Gong. He now firmly believed that Mu Lin definitely would be able to cure his beloved daughter’s madness.

He really wished, really wished that his Xiaoxue could call him father again.

It had been over twenty years. It had been over twenty years since he last heard it!

His eyes were inexplicably tinged with a sour feeling. No matter how austere, he was just a father hoping for his child’s well-being.

"I understand, Father." After sweeping a cold glance at Mu Lin, Tang Qian looked at Mr. Gong and said respectfully, "I will go first to apply medicine for my wounds." Or rather, he was going to find someone to set his bone for him.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t until a while later that he realized, apart from Mu Lin, no one else could set his bone accurately.

Mu Lin’s exclusive development, exclusive technique, it was an incomparable skill.

Since she had already confirmed in her heart that this man was involved in her Master’s death, how could Mu Lin let him off easily? Moreover, he came knocking on her door for punishment.

She hadn’t even approached him yet, but he took the initiative to come to her.

And as for the so-called ’father’, in Mu Lin’s view, unless it was someone she acknowledged, they would have nothing to do with her.

If the man in front of her really was her ’father’ from the legends, then she would rather not have a father.

If there had to be one, that person could only be Mu Jue! As for everything else, she doesn’t care.

Mr. Gong didn’t stop Tang Qian, he just nodded lightly at him, waved his hand, apparently no longer willing to see him.

At the next moment, when Tang Qian turned around, his face...was filled with gloom.

Mu Lin!

Jing Chen came over to Mu Lin and looked at her, "Are you okay?" Mu Lin was now pregnant. He could let her play alone, but the condition was that she wouldn’t get hurt.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine." Mu Lin shook her head, but when she turned around, she found Muxue behind her had already fainted. Even though she had fainted, she still gripped Mu Lin tightly, refusing to let go.

Struggling to open her hand, Jing Chen stepped forward, ready to pick her up, but Mu Lin said, "Let me do it."

Jing Chen frowned slightly, his gaze landing on Mu Lin’s abdomen. Mu Lin simply shook her head, "Rest assured, I’m fine. I’ll take care of myself." It was just holding a person, it wasn’t a big deal. After saying that, she bent down slightly and picked Muxue up princess-style.

So light; it was really so light; Mu Lin even felt that she could hardly feel any weight in her hands.

She lowered her eyes to look at her; even though she was unconscious, Muxue’s face was still filled with unease.

Mu Lin really wanted to know what happened to her twenty-one years ago.

Moreover, had what transpired just now upset her? It was her fault. She was preoccupied in wanting to get some interest back for her Master, forgot that she was right behind her. She forgot that she couldn’t be subject to any more stress.

"Girl." Mr. Gong stepped forward and looked at Mu Lin. Seeing Muxue in Mu Lin’s arms looking somewhat worried, he extended his hand to feel her pulse and exhaled subconsciously.

It was a relief. There was no problem, she had merely fainted. A good night’s sleep would help.

"Miss Mu Lin, let me hold her." Gong He stepped forward. It wasn’t other reasons that worried him, but he feared that Mu Lin with her delicate, frail body would not be able to handle the weight. Even though Mu Lin had just made someone’s bone fracture easily, her appearance... did seem a bit weak, looking even more delicate than their Miss.

He had clearly underestimated Mu Lin.

Looking at the hand extended towards her, Mu Lin merely shook her head at him, "No need." Moreover, her glance drifted downward, signaling him to look.

Following Mu Lin’s gaze, everyone saw that at this moment, Muxue’s hands were tightly gripping Mu Lin’s clothes, with a clear sense of desperation. Despite it being their first meeting, Miss seemed to have developed such a strong trust in Mu Lin already.

Such a thing was simply incomprehensible to Gong He.

He sighed involuntarily.

It seemed like Miss truly viewed Miss Mu Lin as her own child, otherwise...

What a pity.

Thinking, he decided not to insist anymore.

He then led the way and took Mu Lin to the room where Muxue usually rested.
