Chapter 302 Brother Shen's Inferiority

Jiang Ning then asked, "Does Big Brother have feelings for Xu Jin?"

Shen Mo thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't tell. Ever since Xu Jin confessed, my brother seems to be avoiding her a bit. But the situation here in the earthquake zone is serious, so no one has much time to focus on this."

"Xu Jin said that my brother likes that reporter Mu from earlier, is that true?"

It was too late, and Brother Shen had already returned to the rest area, so she couldn't go and pull him up to ask him if he liked the reporter.

Although Shen Mo is a bit naive when it comes to his feelings, he is very thoughtful.

He could tell that Xu Jin liked Brother Shen, so it wasn't hard for him to figure out what was going on between Brother Shen and that reporter Mu.

“My brother doesn’t like Reporter Mu, he was just trying to get me out of this predicament,” Shen Mo said. “My brother panicked because Xu Jin suddenly confessed to him, so he came up with this dirty trick to make Xu Jin back down.”

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow and looked at him, saying, "So, that Reporter Mu really has a crush on you?"

Shen Mo: "......"

How come the conversation ended up focusing on him?

After thinking it over for a while, he finally decided to tell the truth: "Honey, she did say that she liked me, but I've never said more than ten words to her."

He's very sensible.

Jiang Ning was amused by his appearance. "I was just teasing you. Keep telling me about Xu Jin and my older brother."

Jiang Ning has already made it clear that she's determined to get to the bottom of this.

"Although my older brother is quite close to that reporter Mu, he has a gentle and mild personality. As long as things don't go too far, he won't get into a fight with anyone. That reporter Mu usually pesters us to come with me to take photos and collect materials, etc."

We didn't have much time to look after her, so the task fell to my older brother. To come up with such a wicked plan, I think he must have thought about it for a long time. I believe he must feel inferior in front of Xu Jin.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning fell silent.

My older brother was married once and had been sent to the countryside.

Xu Jin herself is very outstanding, and her family background is also quite good.

In addition, Xu Jin is the younger sister he has watched grow up.

There might be an inexplicable connection between brothers. Shen Mo is also very perceptive, and what he is certain of is probably not wrong.

The older brother rejected Xu Jin because he felt inferior...

It's not that I don't like it!

If the eldest brother really had no feelings for Xu Jin, he could have just told her directly. Why did he have to come up with such a lame trick to make Xu Jin back down?

But they didn't know what their eldest brother was thinking.

After Jiang Ning sorted out the whole matter, she came to a conclusion.

Perhaps the elder brother isn't indifferent to Xu Jin, but he himself isn't aware of his feelings.

In his panic, he could only think of this trick to make Xu Jin back down, and hopefully their relationship would return to what it was before.

A thousand people have a thousand different personalities. Jiang Ning won't stand on a moral high ground to criticize anyone, nor does everyone have a God's-eye view.

At least those who are blinded by their own interests are not.

In her opinion, neither Xu Jin nor her older brother were bad enough, and neither was unworthy of the other.

She had noticed Xu Jin's affection for her older brother, so why didn't she help to bring them together?

Relationships are complicated, and how to bring people together is a matter of taking it one step at a time.

Jiang Ning discussed this matter with Shen Mo, who suggested that they wait until the rescue operation was completely over before considering matchmaking between Xu Jin and her older brother.

Jiang Ning also knew that the rescue was more important, and she and Shen Mo reached an agreement on this matter.

Shen Mo was going to take Jiang Ning to the medical team's rest area.

It's not appropriate to leave Jiang Ning here since the soldiers' rest area is full of men.

Before Jiang Ning had even left the soldiers' rest area, she heard a woman's voice ask, "Does your regimental commander really have a lover?"

Yang Zhengtu, who was still blocking the other person with his arm outstretched, rolled his eyes. "Reporter Mu, were you deaf just now? Didn't you hear my commander calling for his wife?"

He had long disliked this reporter. They respected the reporter's profession and were willing to come to such a difficult environment, so they respected that as well.

But this reporter, Mu, clung to the group leader from the moment she arrived, and even the group leader's cold demeanor couldn't scare her away.

In order to uphold the male virtues of the troupe leader, they have been suffering a lot lately.

Mu Wan pouted, looking incredulous. "I thought you were lying to me before, so this woman isn't someone you hired to lie to me too, is she?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhengtu's face turned ugly. "Reporter Mu, your words not only insult us, but also our sister-in-law!"

Seeing Yang Zhengtu's frightened expression, Mu Wan was startled.

She was just saying it casually, why are you upset?

If Yang Zhengtu hadn't seen that she had spent a considerable amount of time in the earthquake zone and had done some things for the disaster-stricken people, he would have been even more impolite in his words.

But Yang Zhengtu wasn't the only one unhappy; other soldiers were too.

Now, their sister-in-law is like a goddess in their hearts; how could they allow her to be insulted by others?

One soldier couldn't help but shout, "Reporter Mu, we told you long ago that our regimental commander has a wife. You didn't believe us, so do you expect us to keep telling you every day that our regimental commander has a lover?"

Jiang Ning and Shen Mo arrived just in time to overhear these words.

Jiang Ning felt a warmth in her heart.

It seems that all the feeding I've been doing has paid off.

Shen Mo walked over with Jiang Ning, giving them an approving look.

Yang Zhengtu and the others were immediately amused.

Even if they achieve excellent results in training, they never receive a single compliment from their own team leader.

I didn't expect to be praised by the team leader today.

Shen Mo had no idea what their gaze had led them to imagine, so he didn't even glance at the reporter, Mu, and took Jiang Ning to the medical team's rest area.

Jiang Ning was already happy after spending some time with Shen Mo, and now was not the time to be clingy. It wouldn't be too late to be clingy after the earthquake was completely over here.

The next day.

After confiding her troubles to Jiang Ning, Xu Jin became full of energy again.

It's still uncertain who will win Brother Shen's heart.

Jiang Ning gave Xu Jin a thumbs up when she learned about her indomitable spirit.

Any girl with a bit of cunning would have backed down as soon as Brother Shen revealed his dirty trick.

She suspected that Xu Jin had liked Brother Shen for a long time.

They were just born at the wrong time.

The age difference between the two is several years, which is a significant hurdle in this day and age.

The rescue operation has now been completely completed, and some troops from other regions have returned home.

The application for house reconstruction had just been approved, and Shen Mo volunteered to stay and lead the team to help with the reconstruction.

Most of the soldiers in the army knew nothing about construction, but clearing the disaster area would also take a lot of time.

They weren't good at rebuilding houses, but they were quite adept at clearing away the ruins.

They stayed on their own initiative so that the affected people could have a home to live in as soon as possible.

The earthquake zone was severely affected, and injuries and bumps were inevitable during the cleanup, so they always brought a doctor with them on each trip.

That's why when Jiang Ning arrived in the disaster area, she saw Shen Mo and the soldiers, along with Xu Jin.

Xu Jin followed them, partly out of selfishness, but also because she was genuinely afraid they would get hurt.
