Chapter 132

Mu Youyu honestly finished half a day of class, and Mu Xin came to the classroom door to pick her up.

She said goodbye to Jiang Liangjin and Bai Yun, "A Jin, Xiao Yun, just come to the hotel around noon!"

The two responded.

Under the gaze of her classmates, Mu Youyu walked to Mu Xin's side, naturally linking her arm with his, "Brother, are Grandfather and the others at the old residence?"

"Yeah, Uncle Da, Uncle Xiao, and several uncles from the Song family have come, and they're waiting." Mu Xin raised a hand to ruffle her hair, "Let's go, the car is downstairs."

He had just come from the company, and he was still listening to what Second Brother Mu Xi said.

The two arrived at the Mu family's old residence and stepped into the hall.

"Youbao and Xinbao are back." A steady male voice sounded first.

Mu Youyu followed the voice and saw a familiar person sitting on the sofa beside the main seat in the living room, her eyes lighting up as she instinctively grabbed her brother's wrist.

The man's fair skin accentuated his sharp contours, sword brows and starry eyes, deep-set light-colored pupils, a high nose bridge with tightly pressed thin lips, his whole being surrounded by a powerful, aloof aura of a superior.

This was Mu Nian, the eldest son of the Mu family.

"Big brother!" Mu Youyu didn't let go of Mu Xin's hand, only gripping his arm and moving closer.

Mu Xin followed behind, nodding at Mu Nian, "Big brother."

Mu Nian rose from the sofa, his dark gray suit accentuating his tall figure; when his gaze fell on Mu Youyu, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curved.

"Youbao, long time no see, you've become even more beautiful—have you missed big brother?"

Mu Youyu immediately replied, "Yes!"

Beside Mu Nian sat several men of extraordinary bearing.

One of them wore a black tailored suit, with fierce brows—this was Mu's uncle; seeing his long‑awaited precious niece, his face lit with joy, "Youbao, you came so early? Were you tired on the way?"

Mu Xi replied, "Uncle, it's at most half an hour."

As his words fell, Mu's younger uncle countered, "Even half an hour is too much! Our family's Youbao is precious—hurry and sit, don't wear yourself out."

After speaking, he patted the empty seat beside him, gesturing for her to come over, his eyes expectant.

Mu Grandfather was holding a teacup, sitting on the central main sofa; seeing his precious granddaughter enter, he immediately set down the cup, his face breaking into a smile as he waved vigorously, "Youbao, come quickly, let Grandfather have a look!"

Mu Youyu released Mu Xin's hand, hopped over, sat next to Mu Grandfather, and naturally linked her arm with his, "Grandfather, I've missed you so much."

"You missed Grandfather but didn't come to the old residence to see him—you little ungrateful thing!"

Mu Grandfather laughed while patting the back of her hand, his gaze scrutinizing her closely; the more he looked, the more he felt pity, his brows slightly furrowed, "You look a bit thinner—haven't you been eating properly lately?"

Mu Nian and Mu Xin nodded in agreement.

Mu Xi felt otherwise—he had taken excellent care of his sister!

Mu Youyu helplessly waved her hands, "I'm really not thin! I eat properly every day; maybe I've just grown taller recently, which makes me look a bit slender."

"Okay, okay, not thin, not thin—our Youbao says she's not thin, so she isn't!" Mu Grandfather indulged, conceding.

He then turned and waved at Mu Xin, "Xinbao, come sit too—don't keep standing."

He has always favored the four children of the second branch, especially the family's sole granddaughter, Mu Youyu, who is obedient and soft.

And Mu Xin, whom he rarely sees.

The eldest branch's son and daughter are still on the way, while the third branch's pair of twins both said they have temporary matters and will arrive in a few days.

Mu Grandfather couldn't help muttering to himself, "In a few days? By then the banquet will be over—these two brats really don't take things seriously!"

As he thought, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and several figures walked down side by side.

"Treasure!"

The speaker was a man in a dark‑blue shirt, his features handsome, collar loosely tied with a tie, his bearing noble yet with a touch of nonchalance—this was the Song family's eldest young master, Song LuXiao.

He instantly spotted his sister on the sofa, smiled and raised his hand, long legs striding to her front, his tone openly affectionate, "Why do you seem even more obedient?"

As he spoke, his peripheral vision caught Mu Xin, who resembled his sister and was the only one in the Song family to inherit their grandfather's blue eyes; he lifted his gaze, nodded at Mu Xin, his smile unchanged, "A Xin is back too—are you still used to staying here?"

Mu Xin replied coolly, "Xiao brother, I'm used to it."

Following closely behind his brother, Song LuJing waved at his sister with a gentle tone, "Treasure, you're back this early?"

Mu Youyu looked up, "Yes, LuXiao brother, LuJing brother!"

Mu Grandfather most loves seeing the younger generation get along well; moreover, tomorrow's banquet protagonist is his precious granddaughter, and the Song family members are all her brothers—seeing this, he nodded satisfied, his face full of relief.

The Song eldest uncle sat on the sofa, watching his two sons surround the precious niece as they spoke, his face full of a loving smile.

The Song second uncle sat beside him, also giving Mu Youyu a gentle smile.

Beside the Song third uncle sat two tall, strapping youths, each with a different demeanor but both equally outstanding.

One had a cool, handsome bearing; the other possessed an arrogant, dazzling aura—these were Song Yusui and Lu Yuchu.

Just moments ago they had been bickering in low voices, neither yielding, but the moment their sister spoke, they simultaneously rolled their eyes at each other, called a temporary truce, and each began to care for the sister.

Between the Song third uncle and Lu Yuchu sat a cool‑cocky‑looking youth wearing earphones, who resembled Lu Yuchu by seventy percent—this was Song Yan.

He turned off the earphone sound and looked toward his sister,

Mu Youyu greeted each of them politely.

Although Mu Xin went abroad at age three, having returned to the country several times before, plus having contact information and a good memory, he still knows these elders and older brothers, and can name them.

He also greeted each in turn.

The several uncles and cousins, considering the crowd, worried that Mu Youyu might not be able to reply, expressed a few words of concern for her and Mu Xin, then said no more.

Mu Youyu's eyes rolled as she looked around curiously; besides Mu Xianqi and Mu Xianyan being on the plane, four people were still missing.

She asked, "Why aren't Yichi brother, Yichen brother, Huaiyu brother, and Huaixian brother here?"

Mu Yichi and Mu Yichen are the twin sons of Mu's younger uncle, her cousins, aged 22.

Song Huaiyu and Song Huaixian are the twin sons of Song's second uncle; they are the only pair among the three sets of twins in the family who look exactly alike, though their traits are easy to tell apart.

Upon hearing this, Mu's younger uncle replied with a hint of regret, "Mu Yichi and Mu Yichen just sent a message saying something came up; they'll be able to arrive only a few days later."

Song's second uncle said, "Song Huaiyu and Song Huaixian are on the road; after we finish eating we can go to the hotel and meet them!"

Mu Grandfather glanced at the time, stood up and said, "All right, all right, everyone's almost here. Let's eat first. After we finish eating, we'll go to the hotel to check the arrangements, making sure we don't wrong our Youbao."

Everyone rose and escorted Mu Grandfather toward the restaurant.

Jiang Family

Shen Ningmu saw Jiang Liangjin finish his meal, clapped her hands, and several servants instantly brought out a row of clothes and placed them before her.

She urged, "A Jin, hurry up and pick! Change quickly so we can go to the hotel first to meet Ah Yu and her family!"

Jiang Liangjin actually started picking, "Okay."
