In the Mu family's glorious living room, Mu Ling was sitting on the sofa and was crying to Mu Zenin and Qiao Jingjia beside her.
"I really didn't do it on purpose, I didn't know that she would fall ... Auntie Qiao, you work in the prosecutor's office, but you must help me! I don't want to go to jail!" Her eyes were red and swollen, and it was evident that the tears hadn't stopped all night yesterday.
Mu Ling was shocked by Mu Zi's fall.
Qiao Jingjia comforted her, "Xiao Ling, don't be afraid, this kind of case is usually characterized by the outcome, as long as Mu Zi is fine, it's considered a public order case at best, and the police department won't even file a case."
Mu Zenin was annoyed that something like this had happened to her family, her tone was harsher than Qiao Jingjia's, "It's lucky that no one was killed this time, otherwise no one would be able to help you! Xiao Ling, why do you always have to get on Mu Zi's bad side? You're already seventeen years old, you're not a child anymore, even if you're just joking around, you still have to distinguish between light and heavy!"
Mu Ling hung her head and choked.
Qiao Jingjia then acted as a peacemaker and said with a smile, "Alright, don't scold her, if you ask me, the fence of the lakeside trestle bridge is indeed too short as well, and people are prone to fall off when they are fooling around, and this matter can't be blamed entirely on Little Spirit ..."
As she spoke, she took a tissue to help Mu Ling wipe her tears, "Don't cry, your third uncle disciplining you is also for your own good, don't be so fussy in the future, hmm?"
Mu Ling cried and nodded her head.
A few people were talking, Mu Rongxuan came back from outside.
For the sake of his daughter's matter, he purposely took a day off.
Mu Ling immediately stood up and nervously looked at Mu Rongxuan, "Dad! Did she agree to the reconciliation, Mu Zi?"
Mu Rongxuan didn't expect Mu Zhening and Qiao Jingjia to be there, he immediately froze, then revealed a smile, "Jingjia came ah, I heard that you were honored to be promoted to Prosecutor, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet, have you ever celebrated?"
Qiao Jingjia pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Mu Zenin beside her and said, "Not yet, too busy recently ..."
"That's so." Mu Rongxuan nodded his head understandingly and did not ask any more questions.
He was very clear about Mu Zenin and Qiao Jingjia's warm-flavored relationship, and thought that it must be that Su Zi had just died not long ago, and Qiao Jingjia was not good enough to show too much scenery, lest she zap Mu Zenin's heart.
Mu Zenin said, "Big brother, you should bring Xiaoling there, apologize face to face, and just untangle any conflicts, now that you're running around like this asking for reconciliation, I'm afraid that Auntie Bai will think that we're bullying people."
Mu Rongxuan sank his face at the words, "I'm bullying people? Third brother, you underestimate that family too much!"
"They don't agree to reconcile?!" Mu Ling couldn't help but make a sharp sound, staring at her father with extreme nervousness.
Qiao Jingjia was a bit more experienced and asked directly, "What conditions have they put forth?"
"Mu Zi wants to go to school at Gerry." Mu Rongxuan's tone was dismissive, as if he was telling a joke.
The people in the living room were all dumbfounded.
Mu Zenin's brows furrowed as he spat out two words, "Nonsense."
Even Qiao Jingjia froze for a full half a moment before laughing helplessly, "This is too capricious ..."
Everyone felt that Mu Zi was delusional.
Only Mu Ling was unaware of this and begged bitterly, "Dad, just send Mu Zi to Gerry! As long as she promises not to pursue ... any further"
"What do you know?!" Mu Rongxuan suddenly bellowed, "Do you know how much it costs to go to Gerry?!"
Mu Ling was yelled at and shivered, huffing and dropping tears non-stop.
Mu Rongxuan had a bellyful of anger, "You only know how to cry at this time! Can't you learn more from your sister? You can't do well in school, but you also cause trouble for me day in and day out! If Mu Zi insists on not reconciling this time, I'll see what you do!"
Qiao Jingjia spoke out gently, "Big brother don't scare Xiao Ling, she's already repenting, don't worry, I'll settle this matter."
