Chapter 299 Heavenly Master 6
Then Jiajia suddenly caught up with her mom who was driving and even sat in the car, but her mom seemed angry and ignored her all the way. Jiajia felt she had caused trouble and didn’t dare to mess around, so she obediently followed her mom, occasionally calling out "mom" in the hope that her mom would soon calm down and pay attention to her!
After hearing Jiajia’s words, Gong Lanfang started crying again, scaring Shuangshuang into quickly telling Gong Lanfang to stop crying and focus on driving — they were on the highway! Was she planning to tour the Ghost Gate for a day with this crying nonsense?
After hearing Jiajia’s words, Shuangshuang knew what had happened. It was simple — Jiajia’s obsession combined with extreme exhaustion caused her spirit to break free from the limits of her physical body. The spirit, guided by obsession, can travel thousands of miles instantly, so it wasn’t surprising that Jiajia found Gong Lanfang.
Zhu Ming’s family home is in a village that’s not too isolated. The people there are close to towns and don’t really have the traditional mindset of favoring boys over girls, but Zhu Ming’s mom is one of the few who still holds such beliefs!
Now, her own granddaughter lay in bed, unconscious, life or death unknown, yet she didn’t show a trace of heartache. She even refused to send her to the hospital and just left her in bed without a care. In contrast, Zhu Ming stayed by Jiajia’s body, looking somewhat like a kind father with his tired expression.
When Gong Lanfang and Shuangshuang arrived, Zhu Ming wasn’t surprised. Gong Lanfang had called earlier to ask if something had happened to Jiajia, so Zhu Ming knew she would definitely come, and he had been waiting.
Upon seeing her daughter lying on the bed, pale with closed eyes, Gong Lanfang’s eyes reddened, and she couldn’t help but shed tears again. She then turned to Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, Jiajia is in your hands!"
Before Shuangshuang could speak, Zhu Ming frowned and said, "Lanfang, what use is it to bring a child here? Do you hope a little girl like this can heal our daughter? I know you’re anxious, but you shouldn’t just try anything out of desperation and bring this little girl here to make a mess!"
Gong Lanfang frowned. She had seen Shuangshuang’s skills firsthand and had great confidence in her. Hearing Zhu Ming’s words felt extremely harsh, and with a displeasing expression, she said, "What do you know? Shuangshuang is a true master with real abilities! If you don’t know, don’t speak recklessly!"
Gong Lanfang’s words hadn’t even settled when Zhu Ming’s mom, who came over to check after being alerted by their arrival, sneered and interjected, "What master! At such a young age calling herself a master, she shouldn’t fear her tongue getting caught by the wind! This is not some kid who’s out to swindle people using trickery, is it?"
Gong Lanfang was so incensed by this old woman that her chest heaved with anger — it rushed straight to her head! She almost wanted to have a big quarrel with her right then!
But she knew saving her daughter was urgent now; there was no time to argue, so she forced herself to hold back, then looked expectantly at Shuangshuang, whose face was indifferent and cold, showing no joy or anger, as if the person accused of being a swindler wasn’t her at all.
In truth, Shuangshuang appeared calm but was actually fuming inside! She was impulsive and easily angered in nature; hearing about the old woman’s favoritism towards boys and neglect of her granddaughter got her already mad!
