Gongsun Yu was waiting downstairs when he saw Ding Ba dressed in a suit and was taken aback. This man really looked a lot like the old man when he was young, except that he was too effeminate and his temperament was completely different from the old man's.
"You must be Mr. Ding Ba. I am Gongsun Yu. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Gongsun Yu politely extended his hand. Ding Ba usually acted nonchalant even when facing the Emperor, and had never been seen to panic. But now, for some reason, his heart was pounding and his palms were sweaty and slippery.
Ding Ba subconsciously reached out his hand, but quickly withdrew it, wiped it vigorously on his clothes, and then shook hands with Gongsun Yu, smiling shyly, "I am Ding Ba, nice to meet you."
Gongsun Yu sized up the man in front of him. Last night, the old man had told him about the bloody history of the Gong family. He was shocked, but he was even more interested in this man who might be his cousin.
Now that he had seen the real person, Gongsun Yu nodded to himself. Doctor Ye and the others had indeed not lied. Judging from appearance alone, anyone would think that he was related to the old man. They looked so alike.
"Please come upstairs. The old man is upstairs. He's in good spirits today. He even had a bowl of millet porridge and a bowl of fish soup this morning!" Gongsun Yu was very pleased. This trip to the inland was so worthwhile. The old man was the pillar of the family. He couldn't even imagine what the family would be like if the old man fell ill.
Ding Ba hesitated for a moment, then let Lu Mo and Ye Qingqing go first, while he followed at the very back.
The phrase "feeling apprehensive as one approaches home" probably perfectly describes his current mood.
Before he found his family, he dreamed about them constantly. But now that he has found them and they can meet immediately, he is afraid to see them and feels extremely uneasy.
He's scared!
He feared that he had no relation to the Gong family and only looked like them. There were people in the world who looked alike but were not related by blood, although the chances were very small. Ding Ba was worried that he had just won the grand prize.
If he really has nothing to do with the Gong family, Ding Ba doesn't know where to find his ancestors. Sigh!
Lu Mo patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "You've waited for twenty-six years. Whether it's true or not, you have to meet him. Even if it's not true, it doesn't matter. I'll help you find someone else."
Ding Ba, who was feeling a bit disheartened, suddenly perked up. His brother was right. If it wasn't him, he could just look again. It didn't matter if he couldn't find him. After all, he came into this world naked, and he would leave naked as well. It would be so much better to be carefree and not make such a fuss.
Ding Ba secretly despised himself for not being carefree at all; he must have been traumatized by that shrew!
Thinking of Miao Tianxiong's ruthlessness, Ding Ba shuddered, a chill running down his spine. He shook his head, no longer thinking about the female demon. He wasn't afraid of anything female. Next time she came, he would definitely show her how powerful he was!
Do you really think he's easy to bully?
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Mo found it strange that this guy was daydreaming at such a crucial moment.
Ding Ba panicked and shook his head repeatedly, "I wasn't thinking about anything... Let's go up!"
He quickened his pace and walked ahead. Feeling Lu Mo's sharp gaze behind him, he broke out in a cold sweat. He dared not let his brother know about the shrew; how could he save face?
The two-story building felt like a long journey, and it took a long time to get there. Gongsun Yu pushed open the door and said to the person inside, "Great-grandfather, Mr. Ding and the others have arrived."
"Come in!" Gong Yi's authoritative voice rang out, and Ding Ba's heart trembled, giving him a very strange feeling.
The voice was both unfamiliar and strangely familiar; perhaps he had heard it in a dream. Ding Ba took a deep breath and followed Gongsun Yu into the house.
