Chapter 783: Chapter 524: Meeting Silver Parasol (First Update)_1

By the time they returned to the Jing residence, it was already around three in the afternoon.

When Mu Lin and her group entered the living room, Gu Muqing had already risen to greet them, stopping in front of Gong Muxue, "Mother-in-law." She sighed a little, not feeling that Gong Muxue looked like Mu Lin’s mother at all.

At least in terms of age, she looked too young. As a woman, she was curious about how she maintained her beauty.

"Sorry to inconvenience you," Gong Muxue said with a smile.

"What do you mean an inconvenience?" Gu Muqing seemingly reproached Gong Muxue, then chuckled, "Being here is like being at home, no need to feel like an inconvenience. Even if Linlin doesn’t care for our Xiaochen, she’s always been like a daughter to me." Moreover, they owed Mu Lin a huge debt of gratitude from the beginning.

Now that Mu Lin could marry into the Jing family, it would be even more convenient for them to repay their gratitude. Besides, everyone in their family loved her very much.

Hearing her mother’s words, Jing Chen remained expressionless, while Mu Lin looked at him with raised eyebrows.

She lightly lifted the corners of her mouth and firmly grasped Mu Lin’s hand. Her previously pursed lips lightly curved into a faint smile.

The old master Jing sat there watching the two interact with a gleeful smile; it was truly wonderful.

His grandson only showed a different side of himself when facing his granddaughter-in-law, Mu Lin, the human touch that he ought to have.

"Grandpa, Mom, we’re back," Mu Lin said, then she briefly introduced everyone to each other.

"Hello, Grandpa Jing," Gong Yu cheerfully approached and greeted him, then she looked at Gu Muqing, "Hello Auntie Qing." Her playful charm was undoubtedly a bonus.

"Very good," said the old master Jing, standing there with a hearty laugh. "Let’s sit down and chat." Standing for so long was tiring, especially after spending several hours on a plane.

Everyone took their seats.

The two women were quite something. Gong Muxue and Gu Muqing seemed to get along exceptionally well, whether due to their similar ages or something else. Gu Muqing sympathized with Gong Muxue and Mu Lin after hearing about Gong Muxue’s experiences, and she elegantly cursed Tang Qian, despite the elegance of it all.

Of course, Gong Muxue didn’t reveal how Mu Lin had dealt with Tang Qian, stopping the story at his expulsion from the Gong family.

The fact that the Jing family was a military household meant some would find Mu Lin’s handling of the situation inappropriate, regardless of their apparent integrity, especially in light of the events of that night...

As for Gong Yu, she sat beside old master Jing and narrated the same story with animated expressions and gestures, completely engrossing the old man in her tale.

Song Qi also brought out some fruit then found a spot to quietly listen to Mu Lin’s background and story, feeling a whirlwind of emotions.

He was moved by all that had happened to Mu Lin; she was such a wonderful girl.

The "respective activities" of several people led to Mu Lin and Jing Chen, the protagonists, being ignored. Eventually, both turned to head upstairs.

Anyway, they weren’t needed for anything else.

For the first time ever, Mu Lin came home and was "ignored."

She squinted her eyes and when she woke up after taking a nap, it was already dinner time. The people downstairs were still...chatting.

Really...

"Where do they find so much to talk about?" Mu Lin was genuinely curious.

Jing Chen: "Maybe because it’s their first time meeting." They seemed to have hit it off.

With a laugh, the two descended the stairs.

About ten minutes later, Song Qi came to notify them and everyone rose and headed towards the dining room.

"Sis, can you really eat all of this?" At the dining table, Gong Yu looked at the ’balanced peak’ in Mu Lin’s bowl and sympathetically asked.

It really was piled high!

"Do you want to help me eat it?" Mu Lin raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

Gong Yu: "Sis, you’re eating for two now, I can’t do such a ’dishonourable’ thing, otherwise my little nephew will not like me when he’s born." Plus, all the food was served by the elders, and she didn’t have the guts to eat it.

After all, her sister was currently the center of attention.

In the future, her little nephew or niece would definitely be very cute. After all, her sister and brother-in-law were both good-looking people.

Her little thoughts fell away.

"Linlin, come on, drink more soup."

Hearing this, Gong Yu came back to reality and chuckled. She once again felt sympathy for her sister. Pregnancy was really scary.

In the end, many of the contents in Mu Lin’s bowl ended up in Grandpa Jing’s belly, after all, he was the baby’s father.

Early next day, Jing Chen had to go out for work, and Mu Lin also left the house, taking the sticky Gong Yu with her to the military area, planning to bring back Uncle Qiaozi.

Every time she found herself at the military area, she felt a bit dazed, but also nostalgic.

Originally, she agreed to enter the military camp to investigate her master’s affairs, but everything that followed didn’t go as she planned. Nevertheless, it was good. It was because of those three months of training that she met Black Star and followed the clues until now. She found the truth, her family, and also took revenge.

However, in the end, Jing Chen had helped her a lot, yet she hadn’t helped him very much; now, she was also pregnant... This could also be seen as the unpredictability of life.

After all in the beginning, for Mu Lin, getting married and having children was something that she didn’t even need to consider.

"So this is what the military camp looks like! It’s so big." Moreover, it felt very serious, and these soldiers, in their uniforms, holding rifles, were so cool! Gong Yu couldn’t help but imagine how handsome Mu Lin and Jing Chen would look in military uniforms.

She really wanted to see it!

Entering the military camp, which is a restricted area, is not something that ordinary people can easily do, yet Mu Lin, even though she wasn’t present, her fame and her current special identity allowed Gong Yu to enter the camp easily.

And in this military camp, during the time when Mu Lin went to her homeland in C province, the news of her marriage with Jing Chen had already spread thoroughly.

Countless young girls were heartbroken, but Mu Lin was too perfect, making these girls basically not even have the chance to confess.

Oh right, there was still a point; that was although Mu Lin was specially recruited into Ying Sun, everyone knew that Mu Lin hadn’t been in the military camp in recent months, even less so in Ying Sun.

Therefore, many female soldiers felt that, especially those who had only heard of Mu Lin’s fame but had never seen her in person, they thought that Mu Lin just joined Ying Sun to seduce Jing Chen; now that she got him, she doesn’t plan to come back, totally ignoring the military discipline.

Mu Lin expressed that she wouldn’t bear such blame. Guess she won’t formally assume her position before the marriage.

Regarding these rumors, Jing Youlan and his team were so tired of hearing them.

It was simply the talk of the tea and meal; a high-profile figure.

Mu Lin took Gong Yu first to the little wooden house that she and Jing Chen shared. Since she couldn’t find Qiaozi in the camp, he was probably either loitering around the little wooden house or in the jungle.

As expected.

When Mu Lin and Gong Yu appeared before him, Qiaozi pounced at Mu Lin almost immediately.

Mu Lin stretched out her hand, and Qiaozi obediently stopped on her hand, pushing his head against Mu Lin, acting coquettishly, and protesting. He was protesting that Mu Lin dared not take him with her.

It wasn’t his fault for being so cool, he was the tall and handsome Uncle Qiaozi!

"Miss me?" Mu Lin smiled as she looked at Qiaozi.

Qiaozi nodded without hesitation, giving a low call.

Amazed, Gong Yu asked, "Sister, does it...understand what you’re saying?" Why does she feel that Qiaozi’s movements just now showed that he understood, that he knew what Mu Lin was talking about, and even responded, that call seemed almost like it was speaking.

This was Gong Yu’s intuition; because in her eyes, Mu Lin was so extraordinary that the pets she raised must be equally extraordinary.

Mu Lin responded, "Indeed, I’ve been able to understand birds’ language since I was young, and communicate normally with them." This ability was indeed an amazing thing for Mu Lin.

"That’s so cool..." The ability she had dreamed of was to be able to communicate with animals, and she never thought her sister could... how envious and jealous she was...

In Gong Yu’s eyes, there was nothing but deep admiration; and then she was staring at Qiaozi so much that his hair almost stood on end.

What was this silly girl doing?

Uncle Qiaozi felt really speechless about Gong Yu, and her gaze gave him chills.

"Hello, Qiaozi." Gong Yu didn’t realize Qiaozi’s complaints. She just approached a step and said hello to him with a smile, but as soon as her words left her mouth, Yi Yan suddenly crawled out of her pocket, his silver eyes staring at Qiaozi, and in a blink of an eye they were in an intense staring contest.

The next second, Yi Yan pounced towards Qiaozi.
