Chapter 608: Chapter 405: Gu Muqing’s Anger (Second Update)_2

Of course, these all happen later.

Ignoring the soldier’s looks, Gu Muqing continued, "I have seen you before, the way you looked at Xiaotian was the same way I used to look at my husband." Hearing this, Jing Tian couldn’t help but frown.

What on earth was his aunt trying to say? She wasn’t planning to use him to orchestrate this war, was she? The mere thought of it sent shivers down his spine.

"There were times when, I thought having a person so fond of Xiaotian could be a good thing, maybe one day, Xiaotian would bring you to us, and introduce you to our family," she said.

Hearing this, Mu Lin glanced amusingly at Jing Tian, who was making a bitter face. The meaning in his eyes was clear: so, you have this kind of taste! However, before Jing Tian could respond, his attention was back to Gu Muqing’s ongoing speech.

Mu Lin intuitively felt that Gu Muqing’s initial words were just a pretense for what she was going to say next.

As expected.

Looking at the woman in front of her, Gu Muqing’s aura was even colder, "But I never thought that you would hurt the person my son cares about most." That was something she couldn’t tolerate. Moreover, she really liked Mu Lin.

"Therefore, let me make it clear to you, I won’t approve you joining the Jing family. Even if Xiaotian really likes you, no one in our family would ever accept a woman who deliberately harms others."

Touched his nose, Jing Tian wondered why he was the one getting shot again.

So in his aunt’s eyes, was his taste really that bad?

He disagreed.

"The people of Jing Family are honest and upright, they are clear about what’s right and what’s wrong. They have clear personal and professional boundaries and have an unyielding character."

"You are not qualified!"

Finishing her sentence, Gu Muqing walked towards Jing Tian, "You should send her to the military hospital quickly. If she continues to bleed like this, it could be disastrous."

Jing Tian smirked, "I knew it, my aunt’s all bark and no bite." He teased lightly.

Gu Muqing rarely spoke to others in such a manner. Possibly, she was truly angered by Zhang Qing; since Qing was heartless enough to hurt someone, it was only right she shows no mercy in return. She might even want to use her words to force Qing away.

Hearing Jing Tian’s words, Gu Muqing glanced at him, "I just don’t want any trouble for Linlin if anything happens to her." That was what she really cared about.

The Jing family could be very passionate, but only towards their loved ones. They could also be indifferent, like unmelting ice, when dealing with enemies or those who annoy them; they would show no mercy.

You could say that the Jing family was simple, you could also say they are complex.

But amongst all the great families, probably only the Jing family could truly unite as one.

Without giving her a chance to respond, Jing Tian had someone take Zhang Qing directly to the military hospital.

Hearing Gu Muqing’s words, many people only noticed then the extent of Zhang Qing’s injuries.

Only later on, when the news that Zhang Qing could no longer hold a gun spread out, Jing Tian fully understood Mu Lin’s revenge.

If she dared to point a gun at Mu Lin, then Mu Lin would make sure she would never be able to hold a gun again; unless she could learn to become left-handed, but she would still not be able to stay in the army.

Jing Tian was grateful that Mu Lin saved him the trouble of kicking someone out of the Seal Camp.

Again, all these happened later.

Taking Mu Lin back to her place, Gu Muqing was at a loss for words when she looked into Mu Lin’s calm eyes. Instead, she could only let out a slow sigh.

"Linlin." Gu Muqing looked at Mu Lin, who responded with a nod.

"I know you might be used to carrying all the burdens by yourself." Gu Muqing still remembered Mu Lin’s past. "But I want you to know that whether it’s me, Chenchen, or any member of the Jing family, we are all your family." Therefore, "You don’t really have to carry every burden on your own."

"Like what happened today, I know how capable you are, but... we will still worry, do you understand?" At this moment, Gu Muqing was exceptionally gentle, yet serious.

Mu Lin was a bit stunned.

No one had ever spoken such words to her, not even Jing Chen. She knew he would worry, much like how she would worry every time he went on a mission; but they usually kept these worries to themselves.

Jing Chen’s worry was in his silent protection; while Mu Lin’s care was so deep that no matter where Jing Chen was, if he was in trouble, she would drop everything and go to him.

She had never experienced such forthrightness before.

It felt strange, and yet, inexplicably, her heart warmed.

"I understand," Mu Lin said, for the first time acting as submissive as girls her age normally would.

Next time, she would be more careful and not rashly gamble her safety against others unless necessary.

Gu Muqing gave her a satisfied nod and patted Mu Lin’s hand, feeling a little relieved.

As she had thought, Mu Lin was a thoughtful girl; her heart was sometimes softer than anyone else’s. Indeed, rumors are harmful and deceptive.

...

The leader’s office in B City.

Ouyang Jun handed a document to Jing Chen.

"This is your next mission," he said.
