Gu Tinglin looked at Jiang Ning, "The only thing I can do is to arrange you into the Spark Project Team. I hope you can accept it."

Jiang Ning refused, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it."

She didn't look at the appraisal report. He must be right to show it.

Family affection was not there when she needed it most. Now it's just superfluous.

"You don't have to feel guilty or apologize." Jiang Ning said calmly, "You didn't grow up with me, but you didn't hurt me, so I don't hate you. On the contrary, from the perspective of an ordinary person, I admire your contribution to the base over the years.

Blood ties are no longer important to me.

I won't carry the burden, nor do I want you to bear the spiritual shackles. Just don't bother each other."

Her words were cold and ruthless, without any resentment, let alone pretense or show-off. Only

when a person is strong enough will he not ask for anything from others.

This made Gu Tinglin feel relieved, but he couldn't help feeling disappointed. She had his blood in her body, but she was really just a stranger.

But he didn't force it, as long as Jiang Ning lived well.

Next, he talked about the problem of Song Yaling and her daughter. He didn't ask Jiang Ning for her opinion, but made a decision on his own.

Whether Jiang Ning admits it or not, Song Yaling is her biological mother, a woman who gave her life.

The mistakes made by Song Yaling are unforgivable, but Gu Tinglin also knows Jiang Ning's character very well, and she will not let the mother and daughter go.

If they were just driven out of the base, Jiang Ning would definitely kill them all impulsively.

It seems that he has vented his anger, but in fact he will have to carry the shackles for the rest of his life.

He didn't want Jiang Ning to be held responsible for the crime of matricide, so he sent Song Yaling to Jiacheng Base overnight.

Xiao Tang will hand over to the official base, and the crimes committed by the mother and daughter at the military base will be handled according to the relevant procedures there.

Life and death are your own responsibility.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly at his actions, but didn't say anything.

In the end of the world after a natural disaster, dying instantly is the best relief.

Song Yaling and Chen Yanfei are just two dodders. Without men, they have no ability to protect themselves. Living is the best torture for them.

Jiang Ning has seen many miserable women who are unable to protect themselves. They use their bodies to exchange for food, but are treated like animals by the devil. They are repeatedly abused, tortured, and beaten. In the end, they are really tired of it, and their final end is a two-legged sheep.

So, this result is also good.

Jiang Ning was honest and said that he would not recognize Gu Tinglin, and Gu Tinglin accepted it calmly.

He looked at his daughter for a long time and sighed deeply, "Take care of yourself, the natural disaster will definitely pass, and don't give up hope at any time."

Jiang Ning stood up and left, but stopped at the door, "Did you give Song Yaling a jade pendant before?"

Gu Tinglin did give it to her.

It was passed down from the ancestors of the Gu family. At that time, Song Yaling cried and pestered him not to go on the mission, but the military order could not be violated.

The two had already talked about marriage in private, and Gu Tinglin promised her that he would come back to get the marriage certificate after completing the mission.

In order to show his sincerity, he gave her the ancestral jade pendant.

Jiang Ning was a little dazed, and after a long silence, he said, "The jade pendant accompanied me as I grew up, but later it was accidentally broken. Sorry, I can't return it to its owner." It

was a pity that the jade pendant was gone, but God had given him the best gift.

Gu Tinglin smiled, "It doesn't matter, as long as you are healthy and safe."

Jiang Ning thought for a while, "You really don't have to feel guilty, because you have left the best for me."

Even though she didn't want to acknowledge her relatives, she had to admit that if it weren't for the protection of the space, she might have died long ago.

The space has already acknowledged its master, and it is still impossible to return it.

Gu Tinglin may not know the secret of the jade pendant, but the benefits Jiang Ning has received are real.

She looked at Gu Tinglin, cleared her throat and said, "Don't always put public interests before private interests. You are also a living person. It's not wrong to think more about yourself. Only

when you survive and live well can you shoulder greater responsibilities."

Is she caring about him? Gu Tinglin felt a warm current in his heart. "Okay."

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, turned around and left.

Along the way, she stared at the scenery outside the car window in a daze.

Back in Area B, Jiang Ning sat on the balcony, sipping the fruit wine she brewed. "The jade pendant is a family heirloom of the Gu family. Gu Tinglin didn't know there was a space inside."

Huo Yishen said, "What are your plans?"

What plans could Jiang Ning have? He couldn't give the space away and return it to Gu Tinglin. "I feel a little uncomfortable. I feel like I owe him."

After sleeping in the same bed for many years, Huo Yishen still understood her.

She didn't acknowledge her relatives, but she actually recognized Gu Tinglin in her heart.

Although she was cold-blooded and ruthless many times after experiencing natural disasters, who can really be ruthless?

There is still a desire for family affection.

It's just that reality is cruel, and Song Yaling is selfish, but Gu Tinglin is different. Before meeting Jiang Ning, he didn't know the existence of his daughter.

In the face of natural disasters, he had to take care of the overall situation and naturally had no time to take care of his family, but he secretly did everything he could.

If there was no love, he would not have to do so.

But Jiang Ning's choice was not wrong. Even if he recognized Gu Tinglin, what would happen?

Would he put down his responsibilities, live only for his family, and do everything possible to compensate Jiang Ning?

Gu Tinglin couldn't do it, and Jiang Ning couldn't ask him to do so.

After talking it out, they didn't have to bear any burden on each other, and they just had to do their best for their choices.

This is how the days went by, with all the important items placed in the space.

The furniture in the yard was all broken, and it wouldn't be a pity to throw it away if there was a collision between the boards one day.

The disaster that made people worry didn't come, but a strange woman came to the yard.

She looked to be about 37 or 38 years old, with neat short hair, wearing a simple loose shirt and a pair of army green trousers.

She was quite mature and steady, but seemed a little uneasy.

She hesitated for a long time before knocking on the gate.

Jiang Ning stood on the second floor and watched, with no intention of

going downstairs. But the other party seemed to be very persistent and waited at the door.

Huo Yishen reminded, "Judging from the way she stands, she should be an auxiliary soldier."

Auxiliary soldiers, strictly speaking, are not real soldiers.

For example, employees of ordnance factories, doctors in military hospitals, artists in military art troupes, and so on.

The visitor can wait so long, he must have something to ask.

Jiang Ning went downstairs and opened the door, "Do you have something to ask us?"

The visitor looked up and was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Ning's facial features clearly, but he quickly regained his composure, "Are you Jiang Ning?"

Jiang Ning did not speak.

The other party looked embarrassed and explained, "Hello, I am Shu Xueqing, the head nurse of the inpatient department of the base hospital."

Jiang Ning still said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Your father... Chief Gu is sick and in the hospital, did you know?"

Shu Xueqing changed her words quickly, but Jiang Ning was deaf and immediately stared at her vigilantly, "Who are you?"
