Chapter 760: 506

Furthermore, even Father Gong has not seen his father laugh with such youthful glee in quite a while.

His gaze landed on Mu Lin once again.

Truly unbelievable.

As for Gong Ning... one could infer that she would probably tear Mu Lin’s heart out if possible.

Grandpa.

How dare she call her grandfather ’Grandpa’! Gong Ning’s gaze was cruel; had her grandfather not restrained her, who knows what she might have done.

What bothered Gong Ning most was her grandfather’s attitude towards Mu Lin. Growing up, her grandfather had never shown her such warmth or even a smile. She was his granddaughter, wasn’t she? Why like this? She didn’t understand, where did she fall short?

Since childhood, Gong Muxue always thought she was incomparably superior to Gong Yu, yet she failed to earn even the slightest compliment or recognition from her grandfather.

Muxue, on the other hand, was indeed her daughter. But she treated Gong Yu slightly better which was fine, but now there was this strange woman appearing in the Gong family, and she liked her so much.

It seemed that Gong Yu and Mu Lin were indeed born enemies.

Ever since she was punished and forced to kneel in the ancestral hall last night, Gong Ning had heard some whispers. Her mother, who was unwilling to even hold her since childhood, had surprisingly acknowledged Mu Lin as her daughter.

Even if she didn’t want her mother, it didn’t mean others could take her away. What belonged to Gong Ning was always hers. Even if she was indifferent and wanted to discard something, it wasn’t for Mu Lin to retrieve.

She stared at Mu Lin intently, but Mu Lin couldn’t be bothered to even look at her.

At the dining table, the old man Gong looked at the people who seemed to be merrily engrossed before him, feeling satisfied and full of emotion.

Such a scene had not appeared before him for a long time. How wonderful it was.

"Since everyone is here today..." Mu Lin and a few others sat down, taking a moment to relax. The old man Gong looked at everyone and said, "I have a piece of good news to announce, I hope you all listen carefully."

Everyone’s eyes were on the old man. Although they already had an idea of what he was going to announce, they still listened attentively.

"I think you all have noticed, Mu Lin arrived yesterday, and both Xiaoxue and I like her very much. So, I have taken her as my granddaughter. From now on, she is a part of the Gong Family." The old man Gong introduced her straightforwardly, looking pleasantly at Mu Lin’s serene demeanor, and unsurprisingly, didn’t perceive any reaction on her end.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot." He was clearly very thrilled.

With a gleaming smile, a thick sense of pride emerged on his face. "Perhaps some of you are not aware, Mu Lin is the Poison Doctor I’ve been longing to meet." His gaze swept across everyone, "At such a young age, her medical skills are extraordinary. Even I, an old man, am no match for her. Like the old saying goes, ’the waves behind drive on those before,’ she is indeed worthy of our learning."

This was indeed a very high praise. In this world, probably no one could receive such an endorsement. Even the students he had taught before, all of whom achieved remarkable successes, never won his recognition. One wondered what they would feel if they heard such a comment.

The old man Gong’s words and expressions all conveyed his immense satisfaction with this newly adopted granddaughter.

Father Gong and Mother Gong exchanged a glance. They never expected Mu Lin to have such a status. No wonder the old man liked her so much.

However, she seemed a bit different from the rumors; they used to think the Poison Doctor was some terrifying creature with three heads and six arms, but it turned out that she was just a girl about the same age as their daughter.

She was indeed impressive.

Of course, there were those who were satisfied and observant, but also those who were upset and displeased. However, to Mu Lin, all these were not that important.

"Mu Lin was specially invited by Yuyu to treat Xiaoxue." The old man Gong looked at everyone, "I don’t care what you think of her, whether you like her or not. In this Gong family, I grant her access to wherever she wants to go, and no one is allowed to stop her; she is the granddaughter recognized by me, Gong Zheng."

He then looked at Father Gong, "Minglei, announce this throughout the Gong family. Anyone who treats Linlin as an outsider in our family is challenging me, Gong Zheng."
