Chapter 131: Do you still remember?

Daybreak.

Lan Lin Gaozhong.

Below Building Two, a luxury car wrapped in crushed diamonds pulled up slowly.

The car door opened, and the surrounding clamor faded somewhat.

The first to step out was a pretty, lively figure.

Mu Youyu wore a deep pink short‑sleeve; her exposed arms were translucently white, her brows carried a natural softness, her lips a light pink, and most striking were her pale eyes—unassuming yet impossible to look away from.

The boy standing beside her looked almost carved from the same mold, sharing the same delicate features, but his brows were sharper, his eyes pure ice‑blue, and his expression cold.

He, too, wore a deep pink short‑sleeve matching hers, which created a certain contrast.

One was gentle and clear, the other cold and noble; they stood by the luxury car, the boy lowering his head slightly, all chill gone from his ice‑blue eyes as he gazed at his sister with indulgence.

This drew the gazes of nearby students, all drifting over.

"My goodness, Mu Goddess is too beautiful today!" a girl covered her chest, "But how come the handsome guy next to her looks just like the goddess?"

Copy‑paste?

"Look at Princess Yan's Weibo from a few days ago—that handsome guy is clearly the young master of the Y‑Guo Duke's Mansion, Ai Luoxiu·Weiqa! The goddess's dragon‑phoenix twin brother!"

"I'm so jealous of the goddess—she has a bunch of brothers! Or is she the Mu family young lady, the Song family young lady, the Duke's Mansion young lady?"

"But who are her thirteen older brothers, exactly?"

"Mu Zong, Xi Shao, Jing Shao, Jing Shao's older brother, Yu Shao, Ai Luoxiu, Mu Xianqi! Oh right, and Mu San Ye—those are the two sons of the goddess's uncle!"

"I'm not greedy; I just want one!"

"Come to think of it," someone wondered, "With the Mu family's power, why didn't the goddess go to an international school instead of coming to our little noble‑focused high school?"

"You're stupid?" the girl beside her retorted, "This Lan Lin is the Jiang family's property! Plus it's close to the Mu family's roots—safe and convenient, get it?"

"How dare you call this young lady stupid?" a spoiled voice rang out; the speaking girl, dressed in a brand‑name dress, raised her eyebrows at the objector, her tone tinged with disdain, "Heh, interesting."

Idiot.

"..."

Mu Youyu didn't hear what others were saying; she simply turned to the boy beside her, gave him a fresh, sweet smile, and waved, "Brother, I'm going in first!"

Mu Xin's ice‑blue eyes softened with laughter as he ruffled her hair, his voice gentle: "Goodbye, sweetheart—I'll pick you up at noon."

"Okay!"

Mu Youyu nodded, turned, and went upstairs to Class A.

Upon entering, she saw Jiang Liangjin already seated at his spot.

She'd grown used to it; over the first few days of school, he never waited for her to go to school together.

After Mu Youyu sat down in her seat, she turned, poked his arm, and said with a hint of complaint, "A Jin, why are you here so early?"

In Class A, everyone is a day student; half don't attend morning self‑study, so arriving by 8:40 is fine.

It's only just past 8:30; Mu Youyu got up early today only because Mu Xin told her last night that she had to go to the company.

Jiang Liangjin had just rubbed his brow, still a bit sleepy, and when he heard the movement he turned to her, "I wanted to see you sooner."

His gaze swept over her slightly messy hair, then landed on her happily‑tinged face: "Your friends are doing better now, right?"

Before Mu Youyu could answer his first remark, she nodded at his question: "Yes! Much better."

She had people press the Yu family; now Yu Father and Yu Mother dare not cause trouble.

Yu Yu is living comfortably at her home and also knows her identity.

Jiang Liangjin nodded in relief; if it weren't settled, she'd have to worry again.

He knew she had valued feelings since childhood.

Jiang Liangjin didn't think twice; he took a cup of yogurt from the drawer, inserted a straw, and handed it to her.

Mu Youyu especially loves this brand of yogurt; she likes every flavor except peach, and she drinks a bottle almost every day—Mo Song used to bring it for her occasionally.

Sure enough, her eyes lit up as she took a sip, then she remembered the matter: "Right, A Jin, I won't be coming to school this afternoon—my brothers should have arrived by then, so you should go meet them."

Today just happens to be Friday; the banquet is tomorrow, Saturday, and the invitations have already been sent out—only more people will come, not fewer.

As the protagonist of the banquet, she naturally needs to prepare in advance!

Preparing alone would be boring, so she planned to drag Jiang Liangjin, Lin Ning, and Bai Yun along.

Jiang Liangjin didn't hesitate and immediately agreed: "Sure."

That was exactly what he had in mind.

It's rare for the Song and Mu families to gather; noon was just right to go see people in advance.

The two of them hadn't stood together in formal settings much lately.

While they were talking, Bai Yun and Xia Chao‑yi walked into the classroom side by side, took their seats, and the former turned: "Little Yu, your family's holding a banquet tomorrow, huh!"

Mu Youyu nodded: "Yeah."

Almost all the major clans in every district of C‑Shi have received the invitations!

The invitation contains just one line, with the sender's name clearly written in two authoritative characters—Mu Nian.

The venue is an eight‑star hotel under the Mu family; just imagining it tells you how grand the occasion will be.

Xia Chao‑yi counted and said, "I heard from my dad that the four great conglomerates and four great clans of C‑Shi, plus the heads of the seven great clans of West City, will all come!"

He hissed, "These people hardly ever see each other in normal times."

And yet they're gathering together!

Bai Yun added, "Not only that! There are also people from the Weiqa Duke's Mansion—aside from Young Master Ai Luoxiu, the duke himself seems likely to attend."

This is a piece of insider info from someone she knows in M‑Guo, and it's absolutely reliable!

Mu Youyu smiled; not only will the Weiqa Duke's Mansion be there, but the queen of Y‑Guo will come as well.

The queen was originally from Z Country; this time she also used the banquet as an opportunity to return and visit her homeland.

There are also some acquaintances from M Country and F Country, plus some people known to the brothers.

By then, eighty percent will have status.

The eldest brother has already told her.

Mu Youyu nodded, "It's all arranged by the family elders; mainly they want to take this opportunity to let everyone gather."

Bai Yun curiously followed up, "By the way, Xiao Yu, who are the remaining few of your thirteen brothers?"

She recently learned again and found out that the Mu family has six males in this generation.

As for the Song family, only four are known: Song LuXiao, Song Lujing, Song Huaiyu, and Lu Yuchu.

Mu Youyu naturally remembers them all, but she glanced at Jiang Liangjin beside her and said, "A Jin, do you still remember?"

By then, don't mistake the person.

"Remember."

Jiang Liangjin certainly remembers; he has kept Mu Youyu's family in mind since childhood, and besides, they grew up together.

But he didn't want to say more to others, and lightly told Bai Yun, "You'll find out then."

Bai Yun, hearing this, became even more curious about tomorrow, and with a troubled expression asked Mu Youyu, "What should I wear to the banquet?! I went through my wardrobe yesterday and still couldn't pick an outfit!"

She has a bit of decision-making difficulty.

"There aren't that many rules." Mu Youyu smiled, comforting, "Just wear something comfortable and you like."

Her, Jiang Liangjin's, and the Mu and Song families' clothes will undoubtedly be prepared by Sister Yan.
