Chapter 761: 506

"As for recognizing my granddaughter, I will announce it at my birthday banquet." The last sentence represents what Old Master Gong had decided, which couldn’t be changed anymore.

Old Master Gong’s orders indeed hold considerable power within the Gong family.

You can go anywhere in the Gong family’s premises!

Other people might not know this, but the Gong family does. There are some specific places in the vast Gong faction where no one except the old master can enter. Old master’s declaration filled even Gong Minglei with shock.

He could see that the old master liked Mu Lin, but he didn’t expect him to like her so much; is it because she looks like his younger sister?

However, in the Gong family, the old master always had the final say.

"I understand," Gong Minglei nodded.

At this moment, the happiest person is probably Gong Yu; only she can unconditionally feel happy for Mu Lin.

As for Mu Lin, she didn’t feel anything special about Old Master Gong’s declaration, after all, she didn’t care about this; but it does make things slightly more convenient for her.

Breakfast ended amidst everyone’s different thoughts.

After the meal, Gong Muxue kept clinging to Mu Lin, probably afraid that Mu Lin would disappear again. Helpless, Mu Lin had to accompany her back to her own courtyard.

"Miss Mu Lin, thank you so much." On the way, walking beside Gong Muxue, Aunt Qiu was welling with gratitude as she looked at Mu Lin.

"What are you thanking me for?" Mu Lin smiled lightly, without thinking too much.

"Thank you for being there for Little Miss."

She hesitated before continuing: "Actually, ever since that incident 21 years ago, Little Miss hasn’t laughed so heartily." It’s been a long time since Aunt Qiu had seen such an innocent smile on Little Miss’ face; so she really thanked her, from the bottom of her heart.

"Has Aunt Qiu been with Little Miss Gong for over twenty years?" At Aunt Qiu, Mu Lin asked.

"Yes," Aunt Qiu smiled, "In fact, it’s been more than twenty years." Her expression seemed to be recalling past memories, "I’ve lived in the Gong family since I was young, just over a decade older than Little Miss. When Little Miss started to walk, Old Master had me accompany and take care of her, slowly it had come to now." To her, Little Miss was like a younger sister, sharing most things with her; though, there are some occasional secrets.

Hearing this, Mu Lin raised her eyebrows, "Then you must be very familiar with everything that happens around Little Miss Gong." Perhaps Aunt Qiu, who has been taking care of her mother all along, knows more than Old Master Gong.

That’s what personal attendants are for, aren’t they?

Mu Lin’s exquisitely accurate intuition kicked in again.

Startled, Aunt Qiu nodded, not hiding anything. "Indeed, you can say that." She knew many things, hence she felt her heartache more deeply. She was relieved when Mu Lin appeared, for her Little Miss’ sake.

"I have a few questions for Aunt Qiu, I hope you can help me answer them." While patting Gong Muxue to sit beside her, Mu Lin looked at Aunt Qiu.

Looking at Mu Lin’s actions, for some reason, Aunt Qiu felt a slight sting in her eyes.

"Miss Mu Lin, ask any questions you have. If I know the answers, I will tell you everything." As long as Mu Lin could bring her Little Miss back to normal, she would do anything.

Mu Lin nodded, "I promise; no matter what, I will cure Little Miss Gong." Moreover, this was exactly what Master wanted.

"I believe you," Aunt Qiu smiled, "Actually, from the first time I saw you, I was thinking that perhaps you, Miss Mu Lin, are the one who will save our Little Miss."

"Why?" Mu Lin raised an eyebrow, "Save, am I so noble?" She really couldn’t see it.

Mu Lin’s casual demeanor made Aunt Qiu smile, "You probably can’t feel it yourself. But when you stand together with Little Miss, you really... look like mother and daughter." Looking at Mu Lin’s gaze with a bit of gentleness, she seemed to think of something, paused and withdrew her hand, "Sorry, I was just marveling; I hope you don’t mind." Although she really wished it was true, imagination was just imagination.

Mu Lin shook her head slightly, "No." After all, it was true, what did she have to mind about.

She paused, "Miss Mu Lin, ask whatever question you want to know." Because she wanted to see Little Miss go back to usual as soon as possible, therefore she would answer properly today.

"Okay." Mu Lin nodded, "Have a seat." She indicated Aunt Qiu to sit down; she didn’t like talking to someone looking up; however, she occasionally enjoyed it from a high position.

At Mu Lin’s words, Gong Yu patted the seat next to her. It was right across from Mu Lin, which was more convenient.

Gong Yu never thought that her return this time, would encounter so many incidents, and hear so many unheard stories.

So many things had happened to Xiaogu aunt, which is too incredible; her feelings for Xiaogu aunt, except for feeling sorry, now only caused more sorrow.

In the current situation, Gong Yu was just like a curious baby, but incredibly well-behaved; she was quietly waiting for the truth to be revealed.

"What I want to ask is what happened when Little Miss Gong was giving birth." Mu Lin looked at Aunt Qiu; although she wanted to know what happened between Master and her mother, that wasn’t the primary concern now.

Step by step, one thing at a time.

Mu Lin always felt that Aunt Qiu in front of her might know something about that time which others did not.
