Chapter 294: I Want You 19_1

Nangong Qingqing, who stood behind Nangong Yun, pursed her lips and lowered her head without uttering a word.

No one could see the trace of contempt that flitted across the depths of her eyes.

Everyone’s attention was focused on Nangong Yun’s chest.

In the end, it was Leng Yu who went over and whispered, “Miss Yun, you should cover yourself up first.”

She admired all those who had made sacrifices for Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Since this scar was due to Mr.

Xiaojiu, she naturally held extra respect for Nangong Yun.

Only then did Nangong Yun leisurely button up her shirt, disregarding the odd stares from others.

She continued to look at Mu Xiaojiu, a gentle and composed smile on her face.

“You’re too lenient with these children, it will harm them sooner or later.”

“Being born into such a noble family means that from birth, they are destined to walk a different path from others.”

“Although they can enjoy wealth and honor, the dangers they face are much greater than those undertaken by ordinary children.”

“None of you can deny that, can you?”

No one could indeed refute this; what she was saying was the truth.

But, that didn’t mean she had the right to harm them in such a perverse manner.

However, both Mu Ziying and Mu Ziqing found themselves at a loss for words.

The scars on Nangong Yun’s chest were horrifically grotesque.

What could they say after observing such scars?

From the look of that wound, at the time the knife had slashed across her chest, it had almost cut down to the bone, placing her life in danger at any moment.

However, this was clearly not the issue at hand.

Yet, when Nangong Yun mixed up these two disparate matters, it was impossible to clarify the situation!

Nangong Yun was truly skilled at this; she was dangerously persuasive.

So much so, it left no room for rebuttal.

Training them was for their own good, to equip them with the ability to defend themselves against potential dangers.

However, they really didn’t want to resort to such methods.

What if they had been injured by the wolf just now?

Scars would have been left on their bodies, and perhaps even on their faces.

During their lives as part of the elite, they might indeed face more dangers than ordinary children.

But, was it necessary to risk their lives to train them?

If they were seriously injured and left with lifelong disabilities, wouldn’t the cost be too high?

Mu Ziying didn’t know what to say to a woman who had nearly lost her life for her uncle.

Yet, she was still furious, turning her face away and crying silently.

Because of the injury on her face, Mu Ziqing started to feel a bit dizzy.

In the end, Mu Lingchuan could only call someone to take her to the infirmary immediately.

Yet, Nangong Yun continued to gaze at Mu Xiaojiu’s cold face, asking softly, “Tell me, did I really do something wrong?”

All eyes were now on Mu Xiaojiu.

Even Ye Hua was feeling anxious for Mr.

Xiaojiu.

It wasn’t easy to refute what Nangong Yun said.

But, if Mr.

Xiaojiu responded with a simple “yes”, the younger generation would surely feel wronged to death.

However, when had Mr.

Xiaojiu ever allowed himself to be cornered?

They had all forgotten, Uncle would never put himself in an embarrassing situation.

In a battle of wits, it was always the others who ended up uncomfortable, not him.

“If these little ones get kidnapped by the enemy, they’d better tell them where I am.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s large hand landed on Baili Xia’s shoulder, pulling her back to his side.

“If they don’t tell, how can I seize the opportunity to save them?

Little creature, don’t you agree?”
