Mu Ning Jing forced back the tears in her eyes. She felt that crying didn't mean she was weak. It was just a way to vent her feelings. Crying was just a facade. She had to be strong on the inside to be strong.
What surprised her was that Shen Jiuyan didn't like her because she thought she was too weak. Mu Ning Jing had never thought of herself as weak. If she was weak, how could she have lived with Lv Zhiwen, that beast, for ten years?
That kind of hopeless despair, that kind of dark days, living a life worse than death, she gritted her teeth and endured. She believed that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she would not be afraid.
Because she felt that she had come out of purgatory in the human world. There was nothing more frightening than constantly worrying about being raped. It was as if she was treading on thin ice.
Mu Ning Jing looked at Ju Qiulan and said firmly, "Auntie, a person who walked out of the darkness isn't afraid of anything. At worst, I'll return to the darkness. As long as I can be with Tingxi, I'm not afraid of death."
Ju Qiulan was stunned. She hadn't expected Mu Ning Jing to say something like that. She wasn't afraid of death. Perhaps she and Jiuyan had underestimated her?
When Mu Ning Jing and Ju Qiulan returned to the old mansion, Shen Jiuyan was talking to a man in the living room. The man was about fifty years old and had a smile on his face.
Shen Jiuyan coughed when she saw Mu Ning Jing enter. She said to the man opposite her, "Old Tan, I'm not feeling well. You can talk to her."
Tan Fangshuo followed Shen Jiuyan's gaze. He thought that Shen Jiuyan was referring to Ju Qiulan and nodded. "Have a rest. I can talk to Madam."
Shen Jiuyan waved her hand. "It's not Qiulan." She then reached out to Ju Qiulan. "Help me upstairs."
Ju Qiulan walked over to support Shen Jiuyan and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? Should I call the family doctor over? "
"No need. I'll be fine after lying down for a while." Shen Jiuyan gave Ju Qiulan a look.
Ju Qiulan instantly understood that Shen Jiuyan wanted to give Mu Ning Jing a chance to see Tan Fangshuo alone. She immediately cooperated with Shen Jiuyan. "Lie down for a while. If you're still feeling unwell, call the family doctor over."
Shen Jiuyan grunted and walked towards the stairs with Ju Qiulan's support. After a few steps, she turned back to look at Mu Ningjing. "This is Elder Tan from the sect. Please entertain him for me."
.................... Tingxi had told her that.....................................................
Moreover, she had seen this Elder Tan before. When Shen Jiuyan was sick, she had disguised herself as a nurse and went to the hospital to see Shen Tingxi. Elder Tan had suddenly appeared, but she had her back to the door at that time and had not seen him.
... Mu Ning Jing looked at Tan Fangshuo coldly.
Tan Fangshuo didn't expect Shen Jiuyan to not give him any face. He was a senior in the gang. How could he use such a young girl to brush him off? "Ninth Master, who is this?"
"She's Xi 'er's girlfriend." Shen Jiuyan pretended to cough and gently shook Ju Qiulan's hand.
Ju Qiulan immediately understood and said worriedly, "Your body is already like this. Why are you still so worried? Let's go upstairs. "She then helped Shen Jiuyan up the stairs forcefully.
Tan Fangshuo looked down on Mu Ning Jing. He felt that she was just Shen Tingxi's plaything, but he put on a smile. "How should I address you, Miss?"
Mu Ning Jing felt that the Miss Tan Fangshuo was talking about was one of those casual women in the brothel. Although he was smiling, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes. "My surname is Mu."
"Miss Mu's figure is wonderful and charming. You're really a rare beauty." Tan Fangshuo started to compliment her, but there was a hint of a prostitute in his words.
Mu Ning Jing sat down on the sofa opposite Tan Fangshuo. She sat upright and had a sense of propriety. "Why is Elder Tan looking for Uncle Shen?"
Tan Fangshuo saw that Mu Ning Jing didn't respond to him, and a trace of darkness flashed across his eyes. He gave her face, but she didn't want it. Hmph. How dare a thing that was ridden by ten thousand people act like a tyrant in front of him. When Shen Tingxi abandoned her later, he would definitely teach her a lesson.
Tan Fangshuo's thoughts were dark, but his smile was even brighter. "It's like this. Tingxi might have some misunderstandings about me. When he comes back, tell him that I've been here. Tell him not to be too ruthless. Leave some leeway for us so that we can meet again in the future."
When Tan Fangshuo was talking to Shen Jiuyan just now, he had been amiable and kind. He naturally didn't dare to say such harsh words. However, this woman in front of him was at most a messenger. What use was she?
He wasn't so polite when he spoke. It was just right. If he couldn't say it in front of them, he could let her pass the message. This way, Shen Jiuyan and Shen Tingxi would know that he wasn't so easy to bully.
If these words angered the Shen father and son, he could deny it and say that he didn't say these words.
Mu Ning Jing looked at Tan Fangshuo calmly. "Elder Tan said that it was a misunderstanding that you wanted to replace Uncle Shen when he was sick. Or was it a misunderstanding that you and Yu Meiqi colluded to frame Tingxi?"
Tan Fangshuo was stunned. Surprise appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect that Shen Tingxi would tell this woman such a confidential matter. It seemed like this woman had a special place in Shen Tingxi's heart. He probably wasn't just playing around. He planned to keep her for a long time.
Tan Fangshuo was someone who had been in the underworld for decades after all. He quickly composed himself. The things that Mu Ning Jing said were all their guesses. There was no real evidence at all. Otherwise, with Shen Tingxi's ruthless way of doing things, how could he still keep him?
As long as he didn't admit it, he was an old member of the gang. Even if Shen Tingxi suspected him, he wouldn't dare to touch him easily.
Tan Fangshuo looked at Mu Ning Jing as if he had been greatly wronged. "Miss Mu, my loyalty to 9th Master is clear. Even though 9th Master has retreated behind the scenes, I've always done my best to help Tingxi manage the gang's affairs. These shameful words must have been fabricated by some treacherous villain to sow discord between 9th Master and I. You must tell 9th Master not to listen to those slanderous words and alienate the relationship between brothers."
Mu Ning Jing nodded. She looked like she had taken his words to heart. "I'll definitely pass on your words to Uncle Shen and show Tingxi your loyalty."
A relaxed smile appeared in Tan Fangshuo's sly and shrewd eyes. Wasn't it easy to deal with this woman? Look, he had fooled her with just a few words. What a stupid woman.
"I've heard Tingxi mention before that he suppressed your power, right?" Mu Ning Jing asked.
Mu Ning Jing's question made Tan Fangshuo's heart burn with anger, but he tried his best to suppress it and not show it. "Not only that, he even took away my power in the gang. Isn't he deliberately making things difficult for me? How am I supposed to establish myself in the gang in the future? "
