Chapter 756: Chapter 503: Deeply Calculated Plans (First Update)_1

My Linlin.

From now on, mom can only rely on you.

I should be happy, but I couldn’t help but shed tears.

If only...that would be great.

Gong Muxue suddenly felt so tired. The person nearby noticed her exhaustion and smiled, "Miss just gave birth and must be tired. I will take the baby to a separate room to rest while you sleep. You’ll be able to have a clear look at your daughter when you wake up."

The smile lingering on her face hummed happiness.

"The Grandpa would be glad to see his great-granddaughter. He may dislike his new son-in-law, but I’m sure he will love his great-granddaughter since he loves her mother, his favorite granddaughter," she added.

"Thank you," she replied, truly feeling fatigued.

After speaking, Gong Muxue lay down and quickly fell asleep.

A moment of solemnity ensued as she looked at the sleeping Gong Muxue and the beautiful baby beside her and then let out a soft sigh.

In reality, she wasn’t sure whether to feel happy or sad for Miss; how perfect it would have been if the baby was sired by Young Master Qichuan.

The baby would also be beautiful, even more than now, and Grandpa would be very happy.

After all, both Young Master Qichuan and Miss were remarkably attractive, not to mention Young Master Qichuan’s impressive character.

There was simply no comparison between Young Master Tang Qian and Young Master Qichuan. Everyone in the Gong Family lamented how a couple so well-suited for each other had ended up this way.

What exactly had transpired between them?

She sighed again and headed towards the next room with the baby. She admired her sleeping face filled with joy once more and then left the room after instructing the other person to take care. She needed to check if the postnatal care soup was ready for Miss when she woke up.

However, half an hour later, when she was out for a brief moment, the baby vanished. Grandpa hadn’t even seen the baby before the entire Gong residence descended into chaos.

As soon as he received the news of Gong Muxue going into early labor, the Grandpa rushed back home. But instead of a pleasant surprise, he was met with horror that would become the most significant heartache of his life.

Had he been at home, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.

"What’s the situation?" The Grandpa stood up abruptly as soon as he saw the reporter return. The unease was clear on his face.

"The son-in-law has set off to pursue. Also, we have found that the kidnapper is...Young Master Qichuan." The reporter’s voice staggered, "It was him who took the child. The person watching Miss at that moment said so."

"What did you say!" The Grandpa almost fell back. As Gong He quickly stepped forward to support him, he said, "Repeat yourself." A storm brewed in his voice.

Qichuan! How is it possible!

He had watched Tang Qichuan grow up and understood his temperament well. Tang Qichuan would never do such a thing, let alone to Xiaoxue whom he loved so dearly.

Even if Tang Qichuan did this, there must be a reason. What exactly is happening? The current situation made his head ache.

Gong He anxiously watched the old man, instructed the reporter to leave for now, and update him as things unfolded.

After the reporter left, he helped the old man sit back down, "Grandpa, we don’t need to worry too much if it’s indeed Young Master Qichuan. After all, he would never harm anyone related to Miss." In this regard, he was quite confident.

"Alright." The Grandpa nodded and sighed heavily.

He knew well; that was the only hope he could cling onto. He stood up, "Ahe, accompany me to see Xiaoxue. She should be waking up soon."

Gong He nodded, helping the old man to stand up.

Gong He was also worried. More than anything, he hoped that the son-in-law didn’t hurt Young Master Qichuan and the baby, or it would completely shatter Miss.

Gong He never thought that his concerns would all eventually come true.

The Grandpa sat with Gong Muxue in her room, watching her sleep with a complex expression. What would she do if she found out? He couldn’t even entertain the thought.

After a few hours, when Gong Muxue woke up and wanted to see her child, he could no longer hide the devastating truth.

However, when Gong Muxue heard the truth, her face showed only a bit of complexity, but she was not particularly worried. Until... she saw the child who was carried back, and heard that Tang Qishan had been chased into that forest from which he never emerged. She fainted on the spot.

"Xiaoxue..." Little Miss.

When she woke up, she was already in a state of frenzy, disregarding the child brought to her sight, even continuously denying that the child was hers. Unfortunately, even if Grandpa Gong wanted to believe her then, he couldn’t.

Hearing Grandpa Gong’s words, Mu Lin lowered her gaze.

So, that was how it happened back then.

She could probably understand now. Her mother, after suffering a double blow, especially right after giving birth, how could she withstand such a shock?

However, Mu Lin also inferred something else. Gong Muxue could recognize the child’s features, so when she saw a child that she didn’t recognize, she felt as if her child and her beloved had both met with disaster.

Such a double blow, Mu Lin thought, perhaps it was fortunate that she only went mad and insane. If she hadn’t lost her mind, Mu Lin believed, perhaps Gong Muxue might have gone into that nearly impenetrable forest. If that had happened, the outcome would certainly have been even more severe.

So, it turns out Master was able to walk out of that forest; with that in mind, Mu Lin thought about the Qimen Dunjia and other things that Mu Jue taught her when she was a child, and the familiarity she had when she entered the forest before; indeed, Master had taught her everything.

"My girl, how do you think Xiaoxue’s illness should be treated?" Grandpa Gong looked at Mu Lin with complete focus.

Mu Lin raised her lip corner, "The illness in her heart requires a heart medicine to heal." Hence.

"I know that already, but Xiaoxue’s heart illness... alas... the cure has long been gone." What Grandpa Gong implied was Tang Qichuan.

If it wasn’t so, he wouldn’t have let things drag on to this point. But now, where could he find the heart medicine?

Another one was Gong Ning actually, but everyone in the Gong Family knew that Gong Muxue simply didn’t acknowledge her daughter, so... there was no heart medicine.

However, Mu Lin just smiled leisurely, as if she had already figured everything out, and looked at Grandpa Gong, "Grandpa Gong, what do you think of me?"

"What?" Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, Grandpa Gong was caught off guard for a moment.

"I will be that heart medicine for her disease. What do you think, would that be appropriate?"

"My girl..." Grandpa Gong stared at Mu Lin in surprise, paused for a while, and as if he understood something, "It seems, it truly might work."

He almost forgot the scene just now. Xiaoxue, had just taken little girl as her own child; maybe, for him, this was an opportunity, a chance to restore his daughter to her previous state.

He was delighted.

"My girl, if you can really cure Xiaoxue’s disease, I really don’t know how to thank you." Really didn’t know.

However, Mu Lin merely shook her head softly and smiled subtly, "No need, it is what I should do."

Still, it was the same sentence.

Grandpa Gong nodded and felt that Mu Lin was really well-behaved and competent, and suddenly, a thought rose in his mind, growing bigger and bigger.

If so, perhaps, it was also a good thing. Grandpa Gong thought, perhaps, this was also his little fortune.

He hadn’t felt this way for a long time, over twenty years.

Looking at Grandpa Gong’s "old fox" eyes, Mu Lin was embarrassed. Why did she feel that the old man before her was calculating something?

Needless to say, Mu Lin’s intuition was quite accurate. Grandpa Gong was indeed "calculating" Mu Lin. He was thinking, if he were to acknowledge her as his honorary granddaughter, he wondered if Mu Lin would accept.

Mu Lin, would you agree?

This question really didn’t need any consideration. After all, they did have a blood relationship that couldn’t be severed and that had already been acknowledged by Mu Lin, right?

Then, after a long pause, Grandpa Gong finally spoke the words that were held in his heart, "My girl, do you want to call me grandpa?" Hearing those words, Mu Lin was surprised, and Gong Yu’s little eyes suddenly brightened.

Grandpa means... Surely it isn’t what she thinks it is?!

Her ears pricked up, Gong Yu excitedly waited for Mu Lin’s answer.

Agree, quickly say yes!

Really, the suspense was killing her...
