Bab 65: Devil of Her Past
"Boss Ren, what do you think? Is it okay for them to join us? Qingqing is my maternal cousin. Mom will definitely scold me if I leave her alone and she's also like a little sister to me." Mu Qianmo tried to gain sympathy points. Anyway, the Boss was not unreasonable.
"Boss Ren, Brother Qian is right. Also, we won't lose out if sister-in-law were to join us. She's strong and her space ability makes it convenient to travel." Fu Yangzhu added, hoping that they could convince the Boss with their reasons.
Mizuki Rei quickly caught on and cleared his throat to speak. "I know it's selfish of me to request this, but Boss Ren, I hope you can let the girls join. I guarantee you, they're very strong! Especially that scary g.. I mean, Lilian Mo. She was the one who trained me along with the girls. She's very sharp and she was able to pinpoint the mutants' weak points. Boss Ren is still injured, right? We can ask Lilian Mo for resins and let them join."
Mu Qianmo perked up when he heard this. That's right! The Boss is still injured!
"Little Rei is right. In exchange for the resins, the girls would be allowed to join."
The three of them looked at the Boss with expectant gazes but as seconds passed by, the situation turned awkward since the Boss continued to eat without paying them any attention.
Meanwhile, Mu Qingqing and Lin Jiaojiao were both talking to Lilian Mo, trying to sound her out.
"Momo, I know that you prefer to move with familiar people but Brother Qian and his friends are nice people. You can trust them, Momo. I don't want to separate with Brother Qian after meeting each other again and finding that we're both alive. Reirei would also want to be with his friends and brothers." Mu Qingqing said.
"But don't worry, Momo. If you really don't want to join them, I'm willing to follow you anywhere! We still have to look for Jiaojiao's brother and reach City B's unfinished base."
Lin Jiaojiao also added. "Big sister Qingqing, I'm thankful that you're looking out for me but whatever Big sister Mo decides, I'll follow it. Although it really seems safer to travel with other strong people, we must still consider Big sister Mo's feelings on the matter." She finished with a serious expression.
Mu Qingqing nodded and she smiled encouragingly at Lilian Mo. "Momo, you won't be alone. Jiaojiao and I are here for you. Whatever you decide, I trust that you made the decision for a good reason."
"Big sister Mo, don't be afraid to choose what you want! We'll definitely support you!" Lin Jiaojiao encouraged.
With the two girls comforting her with these warm words and sincere gazes, Lilian Mo was able to think rationally about the matter.
In truth, it would be best if Mizuki Rei was to join Lu Jingren's group again. After all, their group was the founder of Z-Base in her past life. There was another member but she was not sure when Lu Jingren's group would meet the fifth member.
It would be cruel of her to monopolize Mu Qingqing since both Mizuki Rei and Mu Qianmo would worry endlessly about the girl if they were to separate. Lin Jiaojiao was fine coming along with her since the girl did not have any connections to the people in Lu Jingren's group.
Lilian Mo sighed. She also could not leave Mu Qingqing because she herself would worry endlessly for the girl if they were to separate. As much as she believed that Lu Jingren's group was strong, she did not trust them with Mu Qingqing's safety.
After all, the girl suffered so much in her past life and she had gone missing for years without Lu Jingren's group being able to find her. Lilian Mo could not trust them.
So she simply had no choice.
It would seem that she had to join hands with the devil of her past.
Lilian Mo shivered. She was scared. She was acting indifferent outside but inwardly, she was too nervous when Lu Jingren was nearby. She couldn't get over the fact that the same man that had imprisoned her for three years was just a few meters away from her and said man was eating the food she made with a relatively calm expression.
As expected of such a terrifying person. He can still maintain a calm façade even when a person that he is annoyed with is nearby. Lilian Mo still did not forget that she had stood him up during their date and had cut all means of connections with everyone other than Mu Qingqing and the Mu family.
She really did not want to know what Lu Jingren thought of her at the moment but he must probably hate her for ditching him and was only behaving properly because there were innocent people around them.
Lilian Mo hid her quivering hands.
'This is for the little girl... For Mu Qingqing's safety...' She tried to convince herself.
