Shuxin was afraid that Mu Ning Jing would blame herself, so she said, "It's not all because of you. Shen Tingxi has been dissatisfied with Hu Xin 'er for a long time. It's only because of you that his emotions were triggered. If it weren't for you, Shen Tingxi might have done something to her in the future."
Mu Ning Jing nodded slightly, but … "Hu Xin 'er didn't hit me."
"Hmm?"
"It wasn't her."
"Then who was it?"
Mu Ning Jing lowered her head and fell into silence again.
Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, but Shuxin was extremely anxious when she saw Mu Ning Jing like this. She raised her voice slightly. "Don't keep quiet. Tell me, who hit you?"
Mu Ning Jing shook her head. "No one."
Shuxin stood up from the sofa in annoyance and paced back and forth. "Ningning, you can't be like this. If you keep everything to yourself, it will only make those who care about you more anxious. Do you want me to not be able to eat or sleep well because of you?"
Mu Ning Jing looked up at Shuxin. Her eyes were already red. "You have to be fine. I want you to be fine."
Shuxin saw Mu Ning Jing like this and the irritation in her heart instantly dissipated. She sat down opposite Mu Ning Jing. "I'm sorry. I … was too anxious. Don't cry. Don't cry. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I won't ask anymore. Won't ask anymore, okay?"
Mu Ning Jing always cried very quietly and silently. She only shed tears as if she was breathless. It was especially heartbreaking.
She choked slightly and said, "I'm sorry … I made you worry …"
Shuxin held Mu Ning Jing's hand. "What are you talking about? You're my family. Naturally, I have to worry about you. Okay, don't cry. When you leave my office later, others will think that I bullied you."
Mu Ning Jing raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She pursed her lips to calm her emotions.
Shuxin thought about it and felt that there were still some things that she had to tell Mu Ning Jing. After all, Mu Ning Jing was going to spend the rest of her life with Shen Tingxi. "Ningning, do you know what Shen Tingxi is?"
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shuxin. After two seconds of silence, she shook her head. "I'm not sure."
Shuxin asked, "Do you want to know?"
Mu Ning Jing pursed her lips and nodded.
"Shen Tingxi is the leader of the Black Dragon Gang. To put it bluntly, the Black Dragon Gang is a mafia. But that was in the past. After Shen Tingxi took over, he began to transform the Black Dragon Gang. He didn't do anything that went against morals and morals. The jobs he took were more proper, but ordinary people wouldn't dare to do them …"
Shuxin thought for a moment and continued, "For example, if you asked Shen Tingxi to take care of the dead debts of Yanqing's company, you'd definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Or if you asked Yanqing's uncles to do something bad to him, you could ask Shen Tingxi to teach them a lesson. That's roughly what it means."
Mu Ning Jing was still suspicious. "But … Tingxi said that he would kill."
"Well …" Shuxin frowned. Why was Shen Tingxi so straightforward? How was she going to explain this? "Yanqing said that Shen Tingxi would occasionally take on some more … dangerous jobs … such as … transporting firearms …"
"Guns?" Mu Ning Jing's face instantly turned pale.
Shuxin felt that she couldn't explain it this way, so she hurriedly waved her hands. "I'm wrong, I'm wrong … Well … Let me put it this way. Some people are wicked beyond redemption, but they have money or power. They're cunning and the police can't get anything on them. But if they seriously threaten the interests of some people, then someone would ask Shen Tingxi to take care of them.
Do you understand what I'm saying? "
Mu Ning Jing looked at Shuxin in confusion. Obviously, she didn't quite understand.
Shuxin frowned in distress. "Just like … the chivalrous warriors of ancient times." Shuxin's brows relaxed and she clapped her hands. "Yes, chivalrous warriors. Your boyfriend is a chivalrous warrior, so it's right for you to think that way. Otherwise, look at Lu Jinshen. He's the chief. If Shen Tingxi really did something against the law, Lu Jinshen would be the first to disagree, right?"
Mu Ning Jing thought for a moment and nodded. Obviously, she was taken aback by Shuxin's words.
Shuxin secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She couldn't lie, but she also couldn't scare Mu Ning Jing. The task given to her by Shen Tingxi was very difficult. Fortunately, she was smart. However, Mu Ning Jing's next words made Shuxin's smile freeze.
She frowned and said, "But, most chivalrous warriors don't have a good ending."
"…" Shuxin pinched her eyebrows and was silent for a moment. Then, she said her true thoughts. "Shen Tingxi's line of work is dangerous. Why don't you leave him while you're not together yet?"
Mu Ning Jing immediately shook her head. "No."
This wasn't a joke. Shuxin had already asked Huo Yanqing about it in detail. It was indeed dangerous to be with Shen Tingxi. Mu Ning Jing had suffered a lot since she was young. Shuxin hoped that she could find a good family to marry. She didn't want to be rich, but only wanted to be at ease.
However, Shuxin wasn't an unreasonable person. Especially since she had died once, she was more open-minded after her rebirth. If she wasn't happy, what was the point of living for so long?
If she could be with Huo Yanqing, even if it was only for a year, she would feel that it was worth it.
Therefore, she respected Mu Ning Jing's choice.
Shuxin said, "Since you don't want to leave him, then be with him. He almost killed Hu Xin 'er for you, and because of your words, he let her go. It's obvious that he really cares about you. He had a hangover yesterday and must have a headache now. Why don't you go and see him? "
Mu Ning Jing wanted to go, but … "He lives with his mother. I …"
"Last night, he and Yanqing were drinking outside. How could he go home when he was so drunk? Yanqing found a hotel nearby for him to stay." Shuxin said as she handed a name card to Mu Ning Jing. "Room 302."
In fact, Shuxin had wanted to talk to Mu Ning Jing last night and ask her to take care of Shen Tingxi. However, she was afraid that Shen Tingxi wouldn't be able to control himself after drinking. If he tried to force himself on Mu Ning Jing again, then he and Mu Ning Jing would really be finished.
Mu Ning Jing took the name card and stood up. Her face was red. "I'll go and see him then."
Shuxin waved her hand. "Go, go. Take good care of him."
Mu Ning Jing took a taxi to the hotel on the name card. She entered the lobby and took the elevator. When she arrived at the door of Room 302, she was a little scared and didn't dare to go in. He had drunk. She didn't know if he was sober now.
People said that drunk men were dangerous. Would he bully her?
Mu Ning Jing's nerves were a little tense. An uncontrollable fear arose in the depths of her heart. Her slightly clenched fists were sweating because of nervousness.
Mu Ning Jing was extremely unconfident about her relationship with Shen Tingxi. Coupled with Ju Qiulan's disdain for her identity and the fact that she had been bullied by Lv Zhiwen, Mu Ning Jing felt that she was dirty from the bottom of her heart. This made her feel even more unworthy of Shen Tingxi.
However, Shen Tingxi had almost killed someone for her this time. Although it was extreme, it deeply shocked her.
