Chapter 270: Chapter 211: The Ungrateful Bastard (Third Update)_2

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t share something so valuable. Only Mu Lin would be so open-hearted.

...

"Mu girl, why don’t you go upstairs and rest first?" Other than the first time, Master Jing had never seen Mu Lin look so distressed. What could be the issue today?

Yet, Mu Lin merely shook her head gently. Assisted by Jing Youlan, she sat down, leaning back slightly. "No need, I’ll be fine after sitting for a bit." She wasn’t that delicate; she just needed some easing in her breathing.

Master Jing nodded and, helped by Song Qi, took his seat as well.

Although he felt quite refreshed, he was still a bit exhausted after the ordeal.

Looking at Master Jing, Mu Lin said, "Master Jing, the residual blood has been expelled. This is my last visit to administer acupuncture to you. From now on, you should no longer have any relapses." It had been a long process. This was the first time Mu Lin had treated someone for so long and the first time she stayed somewhere for more than three months.

After a pause, Mu Lin looked towards Song Qi and continued, "Uncle Song, in the coming month, please arrange wholesome nourishment for Master Jing to replenish his strength, but it should not be too much, so it doesn’t overbear him." Recovery was a slow process and she figured Song Qi would know it better.

Song Qi nodded, "Understood, I know what to do."

He had thought that the greatest dream he had was to see Master Jing recover fully, but a strange emptiness filled him now that it happened.

Perhaps, it was because he was going to miss seeing the ever-smiling face of the girl in front of him every week.

He deeply wished that Young Master would marry Dr. Mu soon.

Looking at Mu Lin, Master Jing sighed softly, "Mu girl, it appears I won’t get to see you regularly anymore." He had a sinking feeling in his heart.

Mu Lin chuckled, "Master Jing, rest assured. If you don’t mind me dropping in often, I will visit frequently whenever I get the chance."

"What are you even talking about?" Master Jing feigned annoyance as he looked at Mu Lin. "This is your home. I would certainly welcome you if you want to come back. The more you stay, the happier I would be." Of course, he would be even happier if she could consider changing her status.

Master Jing was of the opinion that, although his grandson had top-notch capabilities and intelligence, he was terrible when it came to courting girls. How much time had passed, and he still hadn’t won over his beloved.

Master Jing admitted it was his fault.

Mu Lin smiled softly as she listened to Master Jing.

Truthfully, she didn’t dislike, let alone detest, this household. She didn’t mind anyone here— be it Master Jing, Jing Youlan, or even... Jing Chen. She didn’t dislike anyone, including those she occasionally ran into or barely had a conversation with.

Mu Lin could feel the household’s warmth and the welcoming aura.

How could she despise such a place?

This was the first time that Mu Lin felt that, if she ever returned to Black Forest, she would miss this place in B City.

She would miss... Jing Chen.

Thinking of this name, Mu Lin furrowed her eyebrows.

Jing Chen... better forget about him.

...

In the afternoon, Mu Lin and Jing Youlan assembled with Yang Yuebin to drive towards Yue Qiao’s house. After all, they had to pick up their two beautiful damsels.

This visit to Qiao’s Family was like the last one—the entrance of Yue Qiao’s house was, once again, crowded.

This place is always so "lively"!

"Did something happen again?" Yang Yuebin asked as he looked at the crowd. No sooner had he said this than Zhou Yicen briskly headed towards Qiao’s residence.

Left behind, he muttered, "What’s gotten into Zhou Yicen today, why is he suddenly running so fast?" Gosh, he’s left me behind! He prepared to follow in Zhou Yicen’s footsteps.

"Let’s check it out too." Mu Lin casually suggested, strolling towards Yue Qiao’s house.

As soon as they reached the entrance, they heard someone cursing from inside. Her eyes squinting, Mu Lin couldn’t help but frown.

"Isn’t it just becoming a soldier, what’s the big deal? I found a suitable match for you out of good intentions, but you dare to raise your hand against me. What an ungrateful brat."

Ungrateful brat?

Was she talking about Yue Qiao?

Mu Lin raised an eyebrow. Interesting, she didn’t know that Yue Qiao had other relatives. She thought Yue Qiao was left with only her grandmother.

"Qiao’s been unlucky lately. Looks like she’s crossed paths with some petty minded people." Standing next to Mu Lin, Jing Youlan commented, looking amused.

Mu Lin glanced at him, "Are you talking about yourself?"

Jing Youlan: "..." He chose to hold back.

"I’m talking about those people inside." Honestly, Jing Youlan thought, Mu Lin always loved defaming him.

How could he be petty-minded, being the charming first "beau" of the Jing Family that everyone adored?

Mu Lin didn’t bother replying and said, "Let’s go, let’s check out the commotion." She wanted to experience more about the everyday workings of the world.
