Mated at First Sight
Chapter 975 - 647

Chapter 975: 647

"Cough cough cough... Who the hell dares to throw..." His face full of rage, he looked toward Gong Yu’s direction, but was thoroughly intimidated by those indifferent, chilly eyes.

Those eyes were filled with murderous aura and coldness, causing the speaker to subconsciously swallow his saliva and, in turn, swallow back the arrogant words he was about to spit out.

The woman’s gaze seemed capable of killing; just one look nearly chilled him to the bone, making him shiver as if even his marrow had frozen.

Danger was his only feeling at that moment.

Coming back to his senses, Gong Yu turned to Ye Xiwen behind her, "Sister Ye Zi, thank you." Her smile was playfully charming.

Ye Xiwen smiled faintly, her gaze sweeping over the people nearby with a warning in her indifferent voice, "Anyone who dares lay a hand on Yuyu again, don’t blame me for being merciless."

Not far away, Mu Lin watched Ye Xiwen with a slight upturn of his lips.

It seems the original Ye Zi has returned.

She stayed in the military for a year, joined Ying Sun for three, and the current Ye Xiwen was still the Ye Xiwen of the past, yet, she was no longer the same Ye Xiwen of the past.

Because now, she had learned how to be ruthless.

The kind often suffer hardships, while troubles linger for a thousand years!

Good people never seem to live long! Kindness should be used where it is needed; misuse is a waste.

Ye Xiwen had gradually understood this truth, and now she had mastered it.

If it were not for this, she wouldn’t have returned to this city that she loathed so thoroughly. The weakness of the past had vanished, and the current Ye Xiwen had been reborn in Ying Sun, soaring freely like an eagle in the sky.

Jing Youlan and Ji Shubai were also satisfied with Ye Xiwen’s action.

Although Gong Yu had some skills herself, compared to those who had truly killed people, she was only playing at it.

If it weren’t for Ye Xiwen being by Gong Yu’s side, whether it be them or Mu Lin, they would have intervened long ago. Why would they be leisurely watching this spectacle?

Indeed, they were no ordinary people!

Watching Ye Xiwen, the director inwardly sighed.

Such skill, could she be ordinary?

The one who got thrown seemed to be one of Liao Qingtong’s own men.

Because of this incident, everyone was stunned, foolishly staring at Ye Xiwen; they couldn’t believe that a fragile-looking girl like her could toss a burly man of over a hundred seventy centimeters so effortlessly.

This girl must have trained!

Indeed, the truth is out.

Gong Yu shrugged her shoulders, looking at Liao Qingtong, "This really isn’t my fault, I was trying to be nice, but your people looked down on others too much." Seeing the disbelief still on everyone’s faces, Gong Yu still smiled coyly, "Haven’t you ever heard the saying, ’Never judge a book by its cover’? Seeing my Sister Ye Zi, hasn’t it awakened you?" If not, there really was nothing she could do.

With a huff, as if remembering something, she continued, "I guess you also haven’t heard that the legendary Poison Doctor is about my age." Truly ignorant.

"Are you saying that you’re the Poison Doctor?" Hearing Gong Yu’s words, the agent looked at her with furrowed brows, in her eyes, Gong Yu was probably a charlatan, and she had even beaten up her people.

Gong Yu hastily waved her hand, "I don’t have that medical skill." How could she compare herself with her sister; however, "When it comes to treating bruises and injuries, I’m pretty good. My sister has coached me too."

Only, she hadn’t tried it on a real person yet; but she believed that her skills were now up to par.

But this, Gong Yu wouldn’t be foolish enough to say out loud.

"Your sister?" Liao Qingtong looked at Gong Yu with a puzzled expression, "Could it be that your sister is the Poison Doctor, Mu Lin?"

"Qingtong, what kind of joke is that? She’s clearly bluffing," the agent didn’t believe it regardless, "Alright, let’s ignore her. I’ll take you to the hospital; we can’t delay treating your foot injury."

However, Liao Qingtong shook her head slightly, "No, let her have a look."

"How could that be alright? You’re so precious..." Liao Qingtong was no ordinary person, she was a national idol! Wasn’t it hard to push her to her current status!

The people nearby also showed disapproval, thinking that Liao Qingtong was joking.

"Sister Jin, I trust her." Liao Qingtong smiled, disregarding the agent’s oppositional gaze, and looked at Gong Yu, "Are you the sister of the Poison Doctor, Mu Lin?"

Gong Yu looked at her in surprise, "How did you know?" She hadn’t said anything, had she?

Apparently!

Gong Yu herself wasn’t even sure anymore.

She hadn’t expected her sister’s fame to even reach the stars; truly, reflected glory.

Liao Qingtong smiled lightly at her, "Three years ago, I saw a video. You and the person in that video, the Poison Doctor, do look quite alike." And just now, she’d mentioned her sister’s guidance, which made her think of Mu Lin, so she asked, never expecting it to be true.

"I see." Gong Yu finally understood, "Are we really that similar?" Her hand unconsciously touched her own cheek, every cell in her body seemingly excited.

Liao Qingtong: "You have similar smiles." And her profile; Gong Yu’s reaction confirmed her suspicion even more.

Actually, what nobody knows is that the way she is playing this character, how to grasp it, is all because she saw that video.

Liao Qingtong truly felt that the character she was playing was very similar to the Poison Doctor Mu Lin; not in terms of experience but the kind of impression she gave off at the start.

Indifferent, aloof yet not cold; seemingly heartless, but actually emotional. To her, it seemed as if the opinions of others about her were irrelevant; the only people that mattered to her were those she acknowledged in her heart. Even when it came to doing anything, she just followed her heart.

However, she felt that if Mu Lin ever encountered matters of the heart, she certainly wouldn’t be trapped by feelings like the heroine of this drama.

That was... her intuition when she watched the video again before the shooting started, and it was also the impression Mu Lin gave her.

If she had the chance, she would really like to meet her in person, to see the one who made her feel as though she was striving for something beyond her reach.

What a pity... it seems she doesn’t have that privilege.

Mu Lin’s current identity... Honestly, she was really envious; she seemed to live a life freer than anyone else’s nowadays.

At this moment, Liao Qingtong was surrounded by a group of people, so she didn’t notice that Mu Lin was actually nearby, quietly watching them.

Still sitting leisurely, Jing Youlan turned to Mu Lin, "Sister-in-law, after looking around, I feel like you’ve gained a fangirl!" And that too, a big star.

"Do I really resemble Yuyu?" It was, in fact, her first time hearing someone say that.

Mu Lin was simply—talking about something completely unrelated.

Jing Youlan and Ji Shubai exchanged looks, both seeing a smiling helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Ji Shubai said, "Actually, it’s not that similar, but occasionally there is a faint sense of it." That’s what he thought.

The appearance of Mu Lin is truly one of a kind; it all comes down to temperament.

Probably because Gong Yu looks a bit like Gong Muxue.

Most of the people from Ying Sun had already met Gong Muxue.

Oh, is that so?

Mu Lin nodded thoughtfully, those cool eyes still casually glancing in the direction of Gong Yu and Ye Xiwen, the corners of her mouth turning up, indicating she was pondering something.

"Let’s go and see how Yuyu’s skills measure up." No sooner had she spoken than Mu Lin stood up and started walking towards the crowd.

The three beside her followed suit.

Poison Doctor Mu Lin!

Nan Minhao looked at the side of Mu Lin’s face.

One would think, who would associate the Poison Doctor Mu Lin with this indifferent young girl before them? Seeing her in person always felt unlike the legend.

Yet, they both lived in a carefree and unrestrained manner.

Without paying further heed to the others, Gong Yu stepped forward, crouched down, and lifted Liao Qingtong’s injured foot, gently manipulating the area around the injury; Liao Qingtong’s brows furrowed.

It really hurt.

She had sprained her ankle before, but it eased after a while; it had never been as serious as this time, hurting so much that she couldn’t stand up at all.

Then.

The corners of her mouth lifting slightly, Gong Yu looked at Liao Qingtong, "Don’t worry, it’s not too serious, just a slight dislocation of the joint." She could treat it.

Thank goodness, it was a minor injury.

But!

"A dislocated joint isn’t serious? What do you think..." The agent’s ensuing words were choked off by Ye Xiwen’s cool gaze, and with a huff, she dared not speak anymore. After all, she still felt the blow to her heart from earlier.

Hmph, she thought, she was letting it slide this once for Liao Qingtong’s sake, not deigning to argue with ordinary folks.

Gong Yu paid no attention to the other party, focusing solely on Liao Qingtong’s ankle, which was now showing some bruising.

Feeling a bit nervous there! After all, this was an important first for her.

"Bear with it a moment." As soon as the words were out, her hand moved swiftly, and with a ’click-click’, by the time Liao Qingtong felt the pain, Gong Yu had already let go of her ankle and stood up.

Gong Yu breathed a silent sigh of relief and looked at Liao Qingtong, "Try standing up." Thankfully, she hadn’t let her sister down.

Actually, these techniques were known to everyone in Ying Sun.

Injuries were inevitable during missions, so simple knowledge in medicine and pharmacology, including a few techniques like setting bones, was something everybody learned.

Mu Lin had said that since they needed to know how to break bones, naturally they had to learn how to set them.

Cough cough cough... That joke was pretty cold, wasn’t it?

Produced by Mu Lin, there is no coldest joke, only colder ones.
