Chapter 597: Chapter 400 Don’t Say This in Front of Mr. Jing (Part 2) _1

"Linlin, you don’t mind me calling you that, do you?" Fearing dissatisfaction from his own daughter-in-law, Jing Zhengyang promptly took her advice.

Mu Lin shook her head, "I don’t mind." It was just a trivial matter, nothing to fuss about.

Looking at Mu Lin, Jing Zhengyang wore a serious expression on his face. It was not that he intends to keep this facade, but that... with the exception of his own daughter-in-law, he truly isn’t used to smiling at any other woman. Indifference, that was him.

Seems like this trait was certainly passed on from his father; only that Jing Zhengyang’s indifference was rather cold.

"I heard from Xiaochen that you came to C Province with some business to attend to," Jing Zhengyang was straightforward.

"Yes," Mu Lin nodded, "just personal business."

"If you need my help, don’t hesitate to let me know." Jing Zhengyang didn’t probe into exactly what her business was. Even though Mu Lin is already the woman his son has set his heart upon, she hasn’t gotten married into their family yet. It was not their place to intrude on certain private matters if she was not willing to share.

Indeed, Mu Lin’s identity is somewhat complicated for Jing Zhengyang, but it’s just that - complicated. Regarding those so-called rumors, neither Jing Zhengyang nor Gu Muqing believe them, as they trust their own eyes much more.

If Mu Lin truly was a ruthless and merciless person, he trusted that his son could never fall in love with her.

Rumors are, after all, just rumors. They cannot be trusted completely.

After a brief pause, Jing Zhengyang added, "That lad is deeply worried about you being wronged here." This was the first time he saw him so nervous.

Even as he spoke these words, his face remained serious; but in Jing Zhengyang’s opinion, with Mu Lin’s abilities, in any sphere, she could hold her own wherever she went.

On hearing this, Mu Lin burst into a smile. She didn’t say anything, but Jing Zhengyang could still discern from her eyes the love she had for Jing Chen, echoing his for her.

As he spoke, there was a change in Mu Lin’s aura. Having observed people for most of his life, he couldn’t possibly mistake it.

It was good; this way, he wouldn’t need to worry about his son being single for the rest of his life.

"I know." Mu Lin said with a gentle smile, "Even for his sake, I will make sure to protect myself."

Her life, after all, is now quite important.

Without saying much to Jing Zhengyang, Gu Muqing quickly took Mu Lin out of the room.

In the corridor.

"Linlin," Gu Muqing looked at Mu Lin, "I have had someone bring your things to the room we’ve arranged for you."

"Thank you," Mu Lin said in gratitude. Gu Muqing shook her head, "No need to be so polite with us. After all, we’re going to be family." Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say, they already were.

Mu Lin didn’t say anything, just listened as Gu Muqing continued, "Would me bringing you to the Military Area be interfering with your business?"

Mu Lin came to the C Province on business, and Gu Muqing considered this. If it genuinely didn’t work out, she wouldn’t force Mu Lin.

"Not at all." Mu Lin shook her head, "What I need to deal with isn’t something I can find the answer to that easily." Moreover, even though she was here, that didn’t mean she wasn’t active elsewhere.

"That’s good." Gu Muqing was relieved. "I’ll firstly take you to your room, and then give you a tour of the entire Military Area, as well as observe Xiaotian’s training."

"Fine," Mu Lin had no objections.

...

C Province, office.

"Knock, knock, knock..." The sound of knocking echoed in the room.

"Come in." A bland voice resonated from within, and a man pushed the door and entered, "Director Xiu, you called for me."

Xiu Weiqi looked at the man, "Sit." As the man took a seat, Xiu Weiqi carried on, "Xiaojiang, I have a secret mission for you."

Xiaojiang: "What secret mission?"

Xiu Weiqi placed some documents in front of him and said, "From today onwards, you won’t need to come here daily. Just take care of the tasks on these documents and report to me as soon as there’s a development. Do you understand?"

Xiu Weiqi’s gaze was intense.

"Understood." Xiaojiang nodded.

"You can find a partner you work well with to assist you." Xiu Weiqi instructed, "Remember to be careful. Off you go."

Xiaojiang nodded. Once he left, Xiu Weiqi leaned back and closed his eyes, meditating.

The waters in C Province have always been deep. If one truly started digging, they would certainly find things that ordinary people wouldn’t want to see.
