Chapter 172

Jiang Liangjin took her hand and slowly stepped into the dance floor.

His dance steps were smooth, leading her to turn with the music, her skirt lightly lifting.

Jun Chenling crossed his arms and leaned against the corridor pillar, pursed his lips, but couldn't help muttering, "This kid, his dance skills are not bad, and he has a tacit understanding with Youbao."

Song Huaixian laughed out loud upon hearing that, "Of course not, the two are childhood sweethearts, they've practiced dancing together since they were young!"

Qing An rested his chin on his hand, his golden eyes holding a hint of unwillingness, yet he had to admit that the two together were a perfect match, leaving nothing to fault.

Mu Xin and Mu Xi accompanied the elders sitting in the lounge area, their gazes falling on their sister in the dance floor, each with a different expression.

"Looking at this, I'm afraid she'll be completely eaten by Jiang Liangjin in the future." Mu Xin felt a bit unhappy inside, but didn't show it, his tone sounding calm.

Mu Xi lifted her teacup and took a sip, her gaze deepening, "As long as he sincerely treats the treasure."

Although she said that, deep down she still harbored a bit of brotherly awkwardness; no matter how she looked, her pampered sister seemed unmatched by anyone else.

Jun Chenling, who had just sat down beside him, heard his tone and then knew how to deal with Jiang Liangjin.

Thus, he quickly echoed, "Right, right!"

Mu Xin heard it and sighed again.

Forget it, I can't possibly say something that would upset my sister, right?

As long as my sister is happy, I'll just go along with her.

After a while, the dance ended, but the music hadn't stopped yet.

Mu Youyu was about to pull Jiang Liangjin to sit down when she heard a familiar voice.

"Youbao!"

Leng Anzhi wore a simple light purple dress, quickly walking toward the dance floor, followed by Leng Yueyou, who was similarly dressed for the occasion.

The two sisters stood together, their appearances and temperaments completely different, yet both equally beautiful.

After calling out, she politely glanced at Jiang Liangjin beside her, "Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Liangjin stopped his steps, "Hmm."

"Anzhi! How did you come?" Mu Youyu hurried forward and grabbed her hand, her gaze sweeping over Leng Yueyou behind her, a bright smile spreading across her face, "Youyou came too."

Leng Anzhi shook Mu Youyu's arm, "My dad brought us here, saying it's a good chance to meet some seniors, making it easier for us to study at Lan Lin later."

She thought that since today was Mu Nian's engagement banquet, Mu Youyu would definitely be there, so she came.

Leng Yueyou nodded, the faintness in her eyes fading somewhat, "Little Youyu is really beautiful."

"You're also very beautiful." Mu Youyu smiled and returned the compliment, her gaze falling on her.

"Then I'll go over there to say hello first, and come find you later." Leng Anzhi said, waved at her, and turned to walk toward where the elders were gathered.

Mu Youyu nodded in agreement, and Leng Yueyou also smiled and said, "I'll go over there to take a look," then headed to the guest area in the opposite direction.

Hardly had her voice faded when, not long after, the music on the stage stopped and the host's voice suddenly rang out: "Next, let's give a warm round of applause to today's engaged couple, who will present the engagement cake for everyone!"

The spotlight instantly focused on one side of the stage, as servers pushed a custom-made cake onto the stage, the cake decorated with exquisite sugar-cream embroidery, precisely the Suzhou embroidery pattern that Yuejiu Yan excelled at.

On top stood a pair of tiny figurines in formal attire, lifelike.

Mu Nian held Yuejiu Yan's hand, picked up the cake knife, and together they cut the cake amid the applause of the crowd.

Yuejiu Yan smiled and looked down at Mu Youyu, waving at her to signal her to come up on stage.

Mu Youyu wasn't surprised, after all Yuejiu Yan had said the first slice of cake was definitely for her.

She quickly walked onto the stage, Yuejiu Yan handed her the freshly cut slice of cake, her eyes full of smiles: "The first piece is for our family's treasure, hoping our treasure will always be happy and blessed, surrounded by our love!"

Mu Nian stood to the side, nodding in agreement, his gaze at Mu Youyu filled with indulgence.

Mu Youyu took the cake and sweetly said, "Thank you, elder brother and sister-in-law."

As soon as she said that, the elders below laughed, and Father Yan and Mother Yan laughed so hard they couldn't close their mouths, nodding repeatedly, "Good, truly good!"

The smile in Yuejiu Yan's eyes deepened, "Alright, go play now; sister will see the elders later and then take you to meet someone."

Mu Nian also laughed, "Later, brother will accompany you."

Mu Youyu obediently replied, "Okay!"

She turned, out of the corner of her eye seeing Leng Anzhi, Gu Xingnan, and Yu Ci standing together, she raised her eyebrows, didn't go over, but simply walked toward Jiang Liangjin's side.

Mu Youyu descended the stage holding the small cake plate, having taken just two steps, her wrist was lightly tugged, and turning her head she bumped into the smiling eyes of her cousin Song Yusui.

Song Yusui stood tall, wearing simple casual attire, his tone teasing: "Youbao, seeing us you want to run elsewhere—is your vision only for that little A Jin, with no room for us brothers?"

He saw Mu Xin sitting over there, not wanting to deal with people, and having heard Qing An's words, he naturally understood.

Mu Youyu's eyes instantly lit up, her face full of surprise, her tone tinged with disbelief: "Cousin Yusui! How did you come back?"

Cousin Song Yusui's company is based in M Guo, so he spends most of his time there.

She hadn't expected that he had only just gone abroad and already returned.

Song Yusui opened his arms, made a hugging gesture, and laughed, "I heard the treasure's call and flew back from there!"

Mu Youyu smiled and stepped forward, lightly hugging him, then let go, her gaze unconsciously drifting to his back, "Cousin Yusui, didn't Cousin Yuchu come back with you?"

Lu Yuchu and Song Yusui are twin brothers.

Seeing only Song Yusui alone, she inevitably felt curious.

Song Yusui immediately clutched his chest, putting on a heartbroken expression, exaggeratedly blinking, "Wuu wuu wuu wuu wuu, I specially traveled a thousand miles to return and see the treasure, yet the treasure's first question was about that guy Yuchu—my heart feels like it's breaking into a hundred pieces!"

Mu Youyu quickly waved her hands, laughing as she comforted, "No, no, I was just asking casually! I most wanted to see Cousin Yusui!"

Song Yusui had just been joking; seeing his sister's expression, he immediately laughed, "My heart's healed again! Lu Yuchu is filming somewhere, I haven't seen him much."

Mu Youyu nodded, then suddenly remembered something, her gaze unconsciously turning toward where the Jiang family members were gathered.

A Jin's family were all present; not surprisingly, besides the relatives who usually stay locally, Jiang Huan and Jiang Yun, the other kin had basically all arrived.

She withdrew her gaze, looked at Song Yusui, her tone tinged with doubt: "By the way, Cousin Yusui, do you know… A Jin's aunt?"

She added, "At that public banquet before, I noticed she kept looking your way, her gaze strange, constantly shifting, inexplicably, I didn't know what she was looking at."

The playful expression on Song Yusui's face gradually faded, his eyes turning serious; he followed his sister's gaze and looked over, but didn't find a few familiar women.

"Which one is his great-aunt?"

Although he knew Jiang Liangjin, he was not familiar with the Jiang Family's relatives, let alone remember their appearances.

Mu Youyu pointed her chin at the woman sitting in the aisle seat of the fourth row's rest area behind her, saying, "That's her, the aunt in the green top with her hair tied up."
