Chapter 593: Chapter 397: The Three Secrets to Marrying a Daughter-in-law (Second Update)_2

Mu Lin’s identity is no longer a secret now.

In saying this, there was a deep gratitude in Gu Muqing’s eyes.

However, an injury exchanged for a daughter-in-law is indeed a worthwhile deal.

Gu Muqing was referring to Jing Chen.

"Linlin, you are our family’s savior." The two most important people to her were saved by Linlin.

So, how could she not like such a daughter-in-law?

"All I did was my job, it’s not about being a benefactor or not." Mu Lin’s words were as frank and straightforward as always, being impartial to all.

Gu Muqing didn’t mind at all; even without all that, she still liked Mu Lin a lot.

Jing family have been soldiers for generations. Although Gu’s family deal in commerce, she herself is quite straightforward.

Perhaps, most people cannot imagine that this gentle and elegant lady sitting in front of Mu Lin was once hot-tempered, but after getting married, having a child, and then taking over Gu’s company, she gradually changed. The more life experiences one has, the more mature one tends to become.

Seeing that Mu Lin didn’t care about all that, Gu Muqing also stopped talking more about it.

Gu Muqing had a VIP card here, and Mu Lin was a VVIP guest here, so the meals were quickly served.

"Enjoy your meal." After serving the last dish, the waiter courteously said before withdrawing and closing the door to the private room.

"Come, eat more. You’re so thin, you need to nourish yourself." So that she can give birth to a beautiful granddaughter for her in the future.

As for boys, Gu Muqing preferred girls; hence...her son Jing Chen suffered a lot as a child.

There was no helping it, he was simply too handsome for his own good.

Ever since the start of the meal, Gu Muqing had been serving dishes for Mu Lin. Mu Lin’s bowl was almost full and she hadn’t even tasted a single spoonful herself. However, the two soldiers seated beside them were happily feasting away.

Although Gu Muqing was their wife, they often had meals together. She had always been close with the soldiers, even when she now oversaw the entire military area; Gu Muqing’s style was also quite easy-going. Perhaps, they were a bit uncomfortable at first, but they got used to it after having lots of meals together.

As for Mu Lin, they hadn’t forgotten that she was also part of the military now, albeit a military doctor. But military doctors also trained with everyone else.

Even though they were not in the same unit, they had heard a lot about her.

"Thank you, you should eat too." After all these years, Mu Lin was actually not used to the warm hospitality.

When she was a child, Mu Jue would serve her food, and later Jing Chen would also serve her, but neither of them were as diligent in serving as her future mother-in-law. The small bowl was piled high with so much food that even the rice was barely visible.

While eating, Muqing was watching Mu Lin all the time. The more she saw, the more beautiful she found her, the more winsome she looked, the more satisfactory Muqing felt.

Noticing the exchange between the two women, the two soldiers looked at each other and then teased Mu Lin and Gu Muqing with a joke.

"Madam, if you looked at him with such ’tenderness’, I bet he would be quite pleased." Or probably wouldn’t be able to resist.

"Naughty boy." Gu Muqing shot a glance at them, "How do you know I don’t look at him so tenderly when we are together?" Then she turned to Mu Lin, "Ignore these two, they just like to joke around." They have a habit of speaking too fast.

"No problem." Mu Lin shook her head, "When I was training in the military, Jing Youlan and others often shared light-hearted banter." It took her a while to get used to their humor, and she found herself missing it.

"That naughty boy." Upon hearing about Jing Youlan, Gu Muqing laughed, "He has always been mischievous since childhood, and even more so when he grew up. However, I heard he has turned a new leaf in the military. I wonder if it’s true."

I’ve only heard rumors, I haven’t actually seen him as he is now.

"He seems to have matured a lot." On seeing them this time around, Mu Lin indeed felt the change in them.

"It seems Linlin has a good relationship with them." Gu Muqing smiled at Mu Lin. Knowing Mu Lin’s character, it’s surprising that she is getting along so well with Jing Youlan.

Mu Lin laughed, "We are friends."

As they continued eating, Gu Muqing found herself enjoying her conversation with Mu Lin more than eating.

The more she talked, the more she found that the Mu Lin sitting in front of her was completely different from the Mu Lin she had heard about.

’Ruthless, disregard for human life, hands stained with blood.’

Is that really Mu Lin they are talking about?

A tinge of sadness crossed Gu Muqing’s heart.

As expected, rumors are just rumors and cannot be relied on. Compared to those so-called legends, she trusted what she saw herself more.

Both Jing Chen’s life, and the old man Jing’s long-standing illness, if Mu Lin was the person from those legends, why would she save them?

Looking at Mu Lin, Gu Muqing felt a pang of sorrow - how such a nice girl had to bear such a reputation.

Jing Chen never told her why Mu Lin was in C Province, but as a businesswoman, she figured that both Mu Lin’s ruined reputation, and her presence here in the province, were definitely not simple matters.
