Mu Qing’s frown deepened as soon as he heard Ye Xin’s words. “Are you aware of what kind of situation we’re in now? Do you think it’s appropriate to bring your jealousy into this now? What does this have to do with her?”

Mu Qing’s words caused Ye Xin’s heart to ache. She was so aggrieved that tears began to fall down her face. She moved to Mu Qing’s side and kneeled by his legs as she said, “No, no, it’s not like that. I’m sure Liang Zhou is behind this.”

Mu Qing’s frown did not disappear as he looked at Ye Xin coldly.

Ye Xin continued to say anxiously, “My mother is very simple-minded. It’s very easy to manipulate. Think about it. Liang Zhou was the one who accompanied my mother to the mental hospital to cause a commotion previously. Liang Zhou must have discovered something and urged my mother to look for me! This must be it!”

Mu Qing said, “Liang Zhou is also simple-minded. This isn’t something she’s capable of coming up with. I’ve asked about the mental hospital. She met your mother while she was at the temple, and your mother forced her to accompany her to the mental hospital. She was frightened out of her wits because of that incident that she said she’d stay away from your mother in the future.”

Mu Qing’s defense of Liang Zhou made Ye Xin rise to her feet. She said indignantly, “You’re defending her at this time? She’s clearly the one who instigated my mother. How can you be so biased toward her?” She paused briefly before she continued to rant, “My mother came looking for me with the result of the DNA test. Do you know Liang Zhou’s the one who invited me out on behalf of my mother? I refused her in front of that old lady, and I was even lectured by that old lady! I didn’t want to meet my mother, but that old lady insisted I go. You dare say this matter has nothing to do with her?”

Ye Xin’s temper flared up. “Liang Zhou would visit the house every few days. She managed to coax the old lady until the old lady was so pleased with her. Even the baby keeps smiling whenever he sees her! It’s clear that she has ulterior motives. You think she’s simple-minded? In my opinion, she’s deliberately doing all these things! She’s deliberately trying to disgust me and target me!”

The more Ye Xin spoke, the angrier she became. “You just dote on her too much! Don’t think I’m unaware of how good your relationship with her is! She keeps praising you in front of the old lady with a disgusting sweet expression! If you weren’t nice to her, how could she be so happy? You’re just biased! You’ve been lying to me! In your heart, I can’t even compare to her!”

Pa!

A slap landed on Ye Xin’s face. Her face turned hot, and her mind went blank. She stared at Mu Qing in a daze.

‘He hit me! He actually hit me!’ Ye Xin cried loudly as this thought appeared in her mind.

“Shut up! Aren’t you done kicking up a fuss?” Mu Qing said sternly.

Ye Xin’s cries came to an abrupt stop as though they were caught in her throat.

Mu Qing looked at her frostily as he said, “I’ve warned repeatedly to be careful with your actions and your words. Look at what you’ve done! I was the one who instructed Liang Zhou to please the old lady, and she completed her task very well!” Then, he continued to say, “However, look at you! Up until now, you’ve yet to completely grasp Zhuang Ji in your hands. Are you sure the report you’ve seen earlier is real? What can you achieve by panicking? Did you have to look for me over such a small matter? Do you still remember why you came looking for me in the first place?”

Ye Xin seemed to have forgotten to cry as she listened to Mu Qing’s words.

Mu Qing continued to glare at her as he said, “So what if your mother came looking for you with the result of the DNA test? Can you guarantee she wasn’t just testing you? Did you check where she went for the DNA test? Did you ask her what she wants to do? You panicked before you even figured out her motive? I’ll deal with Liang Zhou. However, you’re not to target her. You have to understand that she’s not your enemy; she’s your comrade-in-arms. You’re all my people. Your missions are different, but there’ll be times in the future when you’ll have to cooperate. Don’t bring your personal feelings into this matter.”

Then, Mu Qing’s voice softened as he said, “I know your feelings for me. I promise that I won’t let you down.. However, Ye Xin, you can’t let your personal feelings interfere with your tasks. Do you understand?”
