Chapter 1075: Chapter 725 It’s Jing Chen (Third Update)

With no choice but to shrug, Mu Lin looked toward Elder Jiang. "Ah... Since you so desperately want to know the truth, I guess I’ll have to reluctantly tell you." His face was the very picture of someone burdened by the utmost inconvenience.

But when someone insists on courting disaster, who is she to stop them?

Next moment, a voice all too familiar to Elder Jiang rang out from beside his ear.

"Five Years have passed, and I hope you will withdraw from the selection next month and do so of your own accord."

This is... His eyes widened unconsciously.

The recording continued.

"Is it that simple?"

"Oh no, I’ve moved up the selection because I don’t fancy longer nights filled with more dreams; what do you think?"

"..."

"Mu Lin!" Standing up abruptly, Elder Jiang’s gaze toward Mu Lin looked almost man-eating, "Hand over the recording!"

"Why should I." Mu Lin fiddled with the recorder in his hands, the epitome of extreme reluctance, while the expression on Elder Jiang’s face nearly twisted.

The elder had always felt that Mu Lin was probably a curse sent by the heavens specifically to thwart him, yet as it turned out, she was not just his bane! Should she wish it, she could become anyone’s nemesis.

No wonder those people wanted to send him and his spouse away before taking action; if this young girl standing before him were his enemy, then he would likely be the one with the headache now.

Glancing sidewards at Mu Lin, adoration filled the elder’s eyes, with a touch of relief deeper within.

As the somewhat turbid pupils constricted and fists clenched, Elder Jiang ground his teeth, "Jian Zhenzhong, go snatch that recording back!" The danger of leaving this recording in Mu Lin’s possession was crystal clear to him without thought, which meant, by any means necessary, it could not fall into the hands of Mu Lin and her ilk.

However, upon hearing his command, the person behind him didn’t move a muscle, instead staring intently at Mu Lin.

"Jian Zhenzhong?" Elder Jiang, puzzled, turned to look behind and saw such a scene, prompting uncontainable rage. Exasperation filled him, "Jian Zhenzhong, what on earth are you looking at!"

Mu Lin: You’re the one who’s an ’object’! Oh no, you’re not even an object!

Unfortunately, the person in front of him merely cast a fleeting glance at him, showing no emotion nor speaking a word, as if a robot; only when his gaze settled on Mu Lin did a faint trace of a smile appear at the corners of his mouth.

"He won’t listen to you," Mu Lin said, watching Elder Jiang’s face turn almost red with slow deliberation, "Because he only listens to me."

Just, that reddening hue, it wasn’t really flattering at all! Tsk, tsk, tsk... His eyes were bloodshot with rage. So old, yet so careless about his health, what if he had a heart attack out of sheer anger?

Mu Lin sighed out of kindness.

Well, it’s a good thing she was a Doctor. Even if he fainted with rage, she wouldn’t let him kick the bucket right here.

Sure enough, upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, the other party snapped back to reality. Those bloodshot eyes were fixated on Mu Lin, and with a slight smile, she beckoned to the stone-like man standing opposite, "My lord, come back."

At that, "Jian Zhenzhong" moved amidst Elder Jiang’s astonishment, walking unhesitatingly toward Mu Lin.

"You are not Jian Zhenzhong!" Finally, Elder Jiang realized the truth. Although the man before him bore his son’s face, he was definitely not his son; his son would never disregard his commands.

With a leisurely rise, Mu Lin looked at him, "Who told you this is Jian Zhenzhong? Does my family’s also have such fine temperament, such a handsome face?" Speaking, she reached out and traced ’Jian Zhenzhong’s’ face, and soon, a thin layer peeled off from his face, revealing Jing Chen’s strikingly cold and handsome features before everyone’s eyes.

"It’s you..." Now, the voice changed too, "You are Jing Chen! Where’s my Zhenzhong? What have you done with him?" He stood up abruptly, almost unable to keep composure.

How could things have turned out this way!

Unfortunately, Mu Lin paid him no heed, simply looking at Jing Chen, "My lord, you really were put upon just now." She had to give her apologies to her lord for calling out that word ’father’; after all, silence would have raised suspicions.

Mu Lin would never admit that she was pranking her lord, but to think her lord would be so compliant, responding to anything she said. Ah... she couldn’t help but feel slightly guilty.
