Chapter 627: Chapter 624: The Little Girl Looks a Lot Like Ci Ci

Song Yulan woke up to find herself in an unfamiliar car.

Two strangers were sitting in front of her.

Her pupils contracted slightly, and her heart beat uncontrollably.

Having been confined and imprisoned for many years, she instinctively felt a strong sense of danger.

Despite being panicked and chaotic, she did not scream or shout.

She looked through the window, and it appeared that the car had entered the Presidential Residence.

Soon, she saw a car that seemed somewhat familiar.

If she remembered correctly, that should be Gong Xiao’s car.

Song Yulan tried pressing the window button, and the people in front believed she wouldn’t wake up so soon; the lock for the rear window hadn’t been activated.

The window rolled down.

Song Yulan waved her hand at the car coming toward them, "Mr. Gong, Mr. Gong..."

The next second, the people in front rapidly rolled the window back up.

Realizing Song Yulan was awake, the people in front quickly put on masks, took out a spray, and sprayed a few times towards her.

Song Yulan held her breath immediately.

Her eyes were fixed on the car outside the window, which seemed not to have noticed anything amiss and drove straight past.

Song Yulan’s heart sank and tightened.

These two men, they clearly were not Siting’s people. What were they planning to do by bringing her here?

Song Yulan felt a strong sense of unease and danger.

She had long heard that Old Lady Gong and Siting were at odds. Could these be Old Lady Gong’s men, capturing her to use against Siting?

Song Yulan clenched her teeth tightly. If they were planning to use her to threaten Siting, she would rather take her own life!

She might not be able to help Siting, but she would never become his weakness!

Just when Song Yulan’s mind was stretched to its limit, the luxury sedan that had driven off suddenly turned around and came back.

With a bang, the sedan’s front hit the rear of Song Yulan’s car.

The car was forced to stop.

Gong Xiao got out of the car behind and walked over with long strides, reaching out a long arm to pull open the rear door.

Seeing Song Yulan’s pale face and then glancing at the two people in front who had not yet reacted, Gong Xiao grabbed Song Yulan’s wrist, "Get out."

"Sir, she can’t leave the car..."

Gong Xiao’s eyes sharply swept over to the person who spoke, "I will explain it to my mother personally."

The two men in front, "..."

After Gong Xiao grabbed her wrist, Song Yulan did not dare to stay a second longer and immediately got out of the car.

Such an incident had made her legs weak; as soon as she exited the car, she almost collapsed into Gong Xiao’s arms.

Gong Xiao held her wrist with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her waist.

"It’s all right now." His voice was deep, exuding a comforting, solid reassurance.

Song Yulan closed her eyes, and after gathering herself, she stepped back from Gong Xiao’s embrace.

"If I’m not wrong, your mother had me captured so she could use me to threaten Siting, right?"

Gong Xiao frowned slightly.

He had already heard about the recent issues with Gong Yue; his mother was unable to bail out Gong Yue and must have wanted Siting to intervene.

As for Siting, he was on Ming Yao’s side and would absolutely not help his mother.

"Go rest in my sleeping quarters for a while, I’ll go talk to my mother."

Gong Xiao had someone take Song Yulan to his sleeping quarters.

Gong Xiao arrived at Old Lady Gong’s sleeping quarters and no sooner had he entered than Old Lady Gong threw a teacup at him.

Gong Xiao dodged, and the teacup brushed past his ear, crashing to the floor.

"So, you’ve chosen to side with Gong Siting and come against me, is that it?"

Gong Xiao said with a frown, "Mom, I am aware of what Gong Yue has done, and she has broken the law; she deserves to be punished!"

Old Lady Gong was so angry that the rims of her eyes turned bloodshot, "Fine, you really have been bought over by Gong Siting. You father and son are now sharing a common hatred, breathing through the same nostril, aren’t you?"

"Yuè Yuè has been detained, Mingzhu’s life and death are in Ming Yao’s hands, and next it’ll be my turn, right? If Ming Yao makes a move against me, you all will turn a blind eye, won’t you?"

"If it weren’t for your grandfather, would you be able to sit in the President’s seat? Now, for the sake of Ming Yao, you even disregard your own family. Are you worthy of the Gong Family’s ancestors?"

Gong Xiao was silent for a long time before he said just one sentence, "Mom, Siting and Ming Yao’s fates can’t be severed in this lifetime, she’s not only given birth to a daughter for Siting, but also a son!"

What???

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gong rolled her eyes back and fainted.

Old Lady Gong fell ill.

All the doctors from the Presidential Residence came to see her, but none could diagnose what ailed her.

She remained unconscious.

"My Lord, I heard there’s a famous doctor at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital who can even cure muteness, and many other difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Maybe we should invite this famous doctor to see Old Madam?"

A doctor suggested to Gong Xiao.

Gong Xiao nodded his head.

They had thought that with the intervention of the Presidential Residence, the famous doctor would come to treat Old Madam. But not only did the doctor not show up, she sent back a message with those who went to invite her.

"I’m afraid that treating her would only hasten her journey to the afterlife."

With that one sentence, Gong Xiao felt as if he understood something.

As far as he knew, Ming Yao was the legendary Divine Doctor Fox, and she might also be the mysterious famous doctor at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

When Ming Yao learned that Old Lady Gong was afflicted with a strange illness and remained unconscious, she almost laughed herself to fainting.

It seemed even the heavens couldn’t stand it anymore!

She hadn’t even made a move, and Old Lady Gong fell ill of her own accord.

After sending away the people Gong Xiao had sent to invite her, Ming Yao left work and drove home.

On the way, she received a call from Gu Siting.

"Yaoyao, you weren’t on a business trip, you went to do something so dangerous. Why did you hide it from me?"

One could detect a hint of displeasure in the man’s deep voice.

"Aren’t you mad at me?"

"I’m not mad, I’m just worried about your safety."

Hearing the man’s words, a warm current surged in Ming Yao’s heart, and her red lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

"No wonder some say you care more for beauty than for ruling a country!"

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before speaking, "Yaoyao, you and I are family."

At those words, Ming Yao’s nose tingled suddenly.

"Siting, thank you."

"Don’t just thank me with words. Where are you? It’s been several days; don’t you miss me?"

"I plan to go back to my apartment to get some things, then I’ll return to the villa to see the kids."

"Take the kids along, I’ll take you all out to eat."

"Okay, then wait for me directly at the villa."

Ming Yao drove to the apartment complex, just about to head upstairs, when suddenly a delicate, crisp, and angry voice came out.

"Bad woman, stop right there!"

Ming Yao paused, she turned around to look at the person scolding her.

A little girl in a white dress with slender and long calves came running towards her.

Ming Yao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The little girl looked somewhat familiar; she seemed to have seen her somewhere before.

Ming Yao quickly remembered; she was Luminous Pearl’s daughter.

Seemingly named Ye Chuner.

At first glance, she looked a bit like Ci Ci.
