Chapter 990: Chapter 658 What Merit and Ability (Part 1)_2

He had already instructed people to keep an eye on everyone around Ye Xiwen.

In the curious gazes of countless guests, he moved towards Mu Lin and his group.

Seeing Ye Jianfeng’s look at that moment and his extremely serious expression, many were wondering if that person had really arrived.

This... couldn’t be possible! How could such a legendary figure come to such a banquet when it was known that banquets were what he hated the most?

Although all along, these were merely legends.

Finally, Ye Jianfeng stopped in front of a group of people, where several young boys and girls stood leisurely. They recognized one of them, who must be the leading lady of the evening; aside from the one standing woman and two men, there were two people sitting beside them, one of whom they also recognized. He was the little overlord of S City, whom nobody wanted to offend, and unexpectedly, the Sun Family had even invited him this time. Many in S City had invited him before, but unfortunately, Young Master Nan gave no one face.

Today, however, they were witnessing this.

But the beautiful girl sitting beside him couldn’t be his new flame, could she?

There was no helping it; when people see a beauty, they think this way, and the more beautiful the person is, the more they think so. Although they could only see half of Mu Lin’s side profile, even just from the side, they could already determine that she was definitely a beauty, and not an ordinary one.

Why?

When has Nan Minhao ever had an ugly woman by his side?

However, the next moment, something shocking happened.

Ye Jianfeng first greeted Nan Minhao with a simple greeting, lacking the warmth they expected in their hearts, and then set his gaze on the indifferent girl who seemed to keep people at a thousand miles distance, "This must be Divine Doctor Mu," he commented lightly after getting a clearer view of Mu Lin’s features. Even someone like Ye Jianfeng, who considered himself to have seen many beauties, couldn’t help but sigh subconsciously.

It was said that Divine Doctor Mu possessed startling beauty, and it turned out to be true.

He did not address Mu Lin as Miss Gong of the Gong Family, after all, although Mu Lin had returned to the Gong Family, her surname had never changed, and outside, people still referred to her that way.

With a cool voice, Mu Lin responded indifferently, her gaze calmly resting on Ye Jianfeng, and the next moment, she slightly curved her lips, "You... are Ye Zi’s father."

A statement that sounded like a question, yet seemed as if it had already been confirmed.

"Indeed," Ye Jianfeng was surprised that Mu Lin recognized him, thinking perhaps Gong Yu had previously introduced him to her.

Someone probably never imagined that his daughter in B City was doing something more than just being a soldier.

"I am truly honored that Divine Doctor Mu knows of me," Ye Jianfeng said with a smile brimming with satisfaction.

Isn’t that so! Although the young girl in front of him was young, her status was something none of those present could compare to or afford to offend.

Mu Lin slightly curved her lips, "I’ve heard much about you." Unfortunately, though she was smiling, the cool depth of her gaze remained devoid of any warmth.

Seeing Mu Lin, the surrounding crowd was instantaneously shocked beyond belief.

Divine Doctor Mu! That person who had seemed so mysterious they doubted her existence, existing only in legend, had actually appeared at this banquet that they mocked.

What merit or ability did Ye Jianfeng have!

Who was Mu Lin? She was the Poison Doctor, the Divine Doctor Mu, revered by everyone in B City, proclaimed the rightful heir by the Gong Family of C Province, and even the wife of Jing Chen of the Jing Family, who was rumored to disdain the company of women - the apple of the Jing Family elder’s eye, the person the entire family treasured most!

It was said that she now served as a military doctor in the army, but would occasionally return to the Military Hospital for one day (at the behest of the two respected elders, Zhou and Mei) to see patients. Such a significant figure, how did the tiny Ye Family ever become connected?

Their gazes unconsciously fell on Ye Xiwen.

It was rumored that during the years the Ye Family daughter ran away from home, she seemed to have joined the army as a soldier; could it be that she got acquainted with Mu Lin there?

Had they known this would happen, they would have thrown their own sons into the army. Perhaps they too would have had the chance to meet Divine Doctor Mu. Even if they didn’t get to meet her, at the very least, the army could have trained their pampered and indulgent scions who knew nothing of the hardships of life.

Countless people inside were annoyed and full of regret!

At that moment, probably only Ye Jianfeng was still puzzled, assuming that Mu Lin came at the invitation of Gong Yu, without giving thought to how a student like Gong Yu could know Ye Xiwen, who had always been in the military.

But then again, it made sense, because no matter what, Mu Lin was commanding a unit of Jing Chen’s Special Forces in the army, and even if they were in the same Military Camp, it wasn’t guaranteed they would know each other, let alone the fact that Ye Xiwen was just an ordinary person.

However, at that moment, a pair of eyes half-concealed, half-brazen, silently rested on Mu Lin, thinking themselves unnoticed; immediately, Jing Youlan and others, sensing this, furrowed their brows, their originally calm demeanor becoming undisguised, their cold eyes locked onto the eyes of that person.

And Mu Lin, the curve of her mouth deepening at that moment, leisurely and softly, seeming incredibly easy to speak with, spoke in a clear voice, "Do I look good? Do you need to get closer, to see more clearly?"
