Chapter 55

Noticing the dark shadow approaching from behind, Jiang Muning’s eyes darted around.

Then, at the same time the shadow lunged at her, Shen Sizhen moved swiftly out of the way.

The shadow didn’t manage to stop, and with a plop, it fell into the water.

“Ah!” The figure splashed in the water.

Jiang Muning stood on the shore, watching Gu Qingluo flailing in the water with a calm expression.

“It’s you.” Jiang Muning crossed her arms, watching her wave her hands in the water.

“Help, save me!” Gu Qingluo shouted frantically.

Jiang Muning stood by indifferently, giggling: “I’d rather not, you tried to drag me down just now, I’m not that stupid to save someone who wants to harm me.”

Gu Qingluo struggled desperately, she could swim a little, but not very well. Especially by the sea, she could die here.

“Jiang Muning!!”

“Even calling me ancestor won’t work.” Jiang Muning wasn’t a saint, she wouldn’t save someone who wanted her dead.

Hah, how could she.

Thinking about this, Gu Qingluo shouted in terror: “Help, help!”

The people fishing nearby heard the cries for help and ran over, including Jiang Heng.

Hearing the girl’s cries, he thought it was Jiang Muning, and ran over quickly.

“What happened?” Jiang Heng asked hurriedly.

Seeing that several people had come over, Jiang Muning put on a frightened look, and said in a panic: “I was fishing here just now, Miss Gu wanted to push me into the sea, luckily I reacted quickly and dodged, and she fell into the water.”

Hearing this, the people present were surprised, and a fisherman who was about to jump in to save her withdrew his foot.

Gu Qingluo clearly felt that her strength was about to give out, she wanted to get ashore, but she hadn’t swum for a long time, and she was panicking, she had forgotten how to swim, seawater kept pouring into her nose and mouth.

“Help, save me…” Gu Qingluo’s body started sinking.

Seeing this, a fisherman finally couldn’t bear it anymore, he jumped in and pulled Gu Qingluo out of the water.

Finally rescued ashore, Gu Qingluo coughed violently.

Jiang Muning covered her chest, looked at Gu Qingluo, and said with a sorrowful accusation: “Miss Gu, you are the daughter of the army commander, why do you always have to make things difficult for me? You tried to scare me to death last night, and knowing that I’m from the countryside, you thought I couldn’t swim, so you wanted to push me into the sea?”

Jiang Muning’s words shocked the onlookers, they whispered: “She’s the daughter of the army commander? Her heart is so black.”

“Exactly, most people from the countryside can’t swim, she’s clearly trying to kill someone.”

Gu Qingluo’s face flushed red, whether from anger or from being choked by the water.

“You’ve tried to harm me several times, you wouldn’t be, wanting to get rid of her and take her place, because you have your eyes on her husband, would you?” Jiang Heng said coldly, clenching his fists, wanting to beat her up.

Gu Qingluo raised her head abruptly: “I didn’t…”

“I think you did, the army commander’s daughter is so shameless, and so vicious. If she teaches her daughter to be so bad, how can she protect us ordinary people?”

“Exactly.”

Gu Qingluo was speechless, she didn’t care about her current disheveled state, she hurriedly got up and ran away quickly.

Jiang Muning covered her face and cried: “Her father is the army commander, he can cover everything up, he’s lawless, I’m going to die at her hands sooner or later, boo hoo…”

The onlookers around heard this and cried out for justice: “This army commander is no good, he allows his daughter to commit crimes, it’s too vicious.”

“How did he become an army commander.”

Hearing the voices around her, a mischievous glint flashed in Jiang Muning’s eyes. She wanted to harm her, but don’t think she can get away with it.

In the evening, Qin Muye finished dinner, washed the dishes, and was about to go out.

He had to participate in night training tonight, and he wouldn’t be back until tomorrow.

Before leaving, Qin Muye didn’t forget to remind her: “Close the doors and windows, if anything happens, go ask the neighbors for help.”

Her long hair cascaded down her back, her slender hand rested on his shoulder, she responded playfully: “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself. You have to be careful too, don’t get hurt.”

Hearing her concern, the corner of his cold face couldn’t help but curve upwards.

“Okay.”

Jiang Muning tiptoed closer to him.

Qin Muye looked at her lips expectantly, but he saw her playfully kiss his chin.

Seeing this, Qin Muye was not satisfied, he lifted her hips with his hand, bent down and kissed her lips.

He had tasted the sweetness, he wanted to kiss.

The long kiss carried a sense of reluctance, Qin Muye let go of her, and said hoarsely: “I’m leaving.”

“Yeah.” Her soft moan was suggestive.

Qin Muye’s throat tightened, he suppressed the romantic feelings in his heart and walked forward quickly.

Jiang Muning watched his back, and stretched.

She wasn’t worried that Gu Qingluo would come to scare her again, the last lesson was still fresh in her mind, she wasn’t that stupid.

Besides, she probably wouldn’t have time to bother her tonight.

At Army Commander Gu Changzheng’s house, a crisp slap echoed, a bright red handprint appeared on Gu Qingluo’s cheek.

“Changzheng, what are you doing, why are you hitting our daughter?” Zheng Haitang said anxiously.

Gu Changzheng angrily picked up the feather duster next to him and beat Gu Qingluo a few times.

“Mom, save me…”

“Gu Changzheng, what are you doing!”

Gu Changzheng’s face flushed red, his face was livid with anger: “Ask her what she did! My daughter, Gu Changzheng’s daughter, viciously tried to push a woman into the sea, and the woman dodged, and she fell in. I, Gu Changzheng, have lost all face because of her.”

It turned out that what happened by the sea had been spread by the fishermen, and it had spread to the army. Now many people were criticizing him behind his back for not disciplining his daughter, saying that she was vicious and tried to murder someone.

Zheng Haitang was shocked: “Is that true? So you came back soaked just now…”

Gu Changzheng was so angry that he raised his hand to hit her again, Gu Qingluo was so scared that she hid behind Zheng Haitang, not daring to show her head.

“Okay, Changzheng, stop hitting her, even if you beat Qingrao to death, it won’t help.” Zheng Haitang quickly persuaded him.

Gu Changzheng pointed at Gu Qingluo and said fiercely: “If you dare to harm anyone again, I will immediately send you back to your hometown.”

With that, Gu Changzheng left in anger.

Seeing him leave, Zheng Haitang pulled Gu Qingluo out: “What’s going on? You wouldn’t harm someone for no reason, did something happen? Who were you trying to push?”

Her cheek was burning with pain, Gu Qingluo said aggrievedly: “It’s all Jiang Muning’s fault…”

“Jiang Muning, you mean Captain Qin’s wife? Why are you bothering her again?” Zheng Haitang exclaimed.

Gu Qingluo’s eyes were red, she said angrily: “If it wasn’t for her, my sister would be the one who married Captain Qin, she’s not worthy of Captain Qin at all.”

Zheng Haitang angrily slapped her hand: “It’s not up to you to decide whether she’s worthy or not? Besides, Captain Qin himself is willing to marry her, what business is it of yours? Your dad doesn’t know that you were trying to harm Captain Qin’s wife, otherwise he would have beaten you to death today.”

She knew how important Qin Muye was to the army, and she also knew how much her husband valued him. Plus, knowing his temper, if he knew that Gu Qingluo was trying to harm Qin Muye’s wife, he would really kill her.

Gu Qingluo was startled: “Dad wouldn’t really beat me to death, or really send me back to my hometown, would he?”

Zheng Haitang said with a stern face: “He really would if you keep acting up.”

Gu Qingluo was nervous, she didn’t want to provoke Jiang Muning anymore, but thinking about how Gu Manli couldn’t eat because she was so sad for Qin Muye at noon, she hesitated.
