Mu Xin also agreed and added: "Exactly, they clearly know all your identities yet still dare to cause trouble; essentially they're probing your bottom line, thinking you

If they let them off easily this time, the news will spread.

Outsiders will only think the domestic four major conglomerates and the little princess of Peiweika Duke's Mansion are easy to talk to and easy to bully.

Next time, only more people will follow suit, and when that happens, the one who will still feel wronged is the darling.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at his sister obediently listening to them speak, his heart softened, and his tone eased a bit: "Dear, brother isn't trying to rely on his power to bully people..."

"It's to make everyone understand that respect is mutual, harming others must bear consequences, this is the most basic sense of right and wrong."

He grew up abroad since childhood, unable to stay by his sister's side as she grew up, and has always regretted it.

These years of experience at the Duke's Mansion, plus he himself is a prodigy, early-matured, and on good terms with the princes of the two countries.

He knows that all kinds of people exist out there.

Even though he is a genius, the young master of Peiweika Duke's Mansion, and the designated heir.

He is a childhood friend of the Prince of Y Country and the Prince of M Guo...

Even if he stands even higher, even if he has the backing of the royal family.

It is also inevitable to encounter people with ulterior motives, and inevitably fall into various overt and covert attacks.

So he has never stopped moving forward, always had ambition, and has always understood—

Only by being stronger than everyone else can he truly protect those he wants to protect.

So even though he could have finished his master's and doctorate studies early, he still delayed that plan for a long time, staying in Y Guo for a long while.

He has constantly made time, step by step expanding his influence.

All so that upon returning home, he can become his sister's strongest support.

Song Lujing also turned his body, half of him leaning toward the back seat, looking at his sister, his expression especially serious, carrying a maturity beyond his years.

"Brother, Youbao and A Jin are right! Darling needs to know that not everyone in this world is good."

He recalled the scenes he saw in Nan Feng, those where people, because of weakness, dared not resist.

Those who were bullied until bruised all over, able only to silently endure, flashed a hint of fierceness in their eyes.

"If an ordinary person is bullied like this, and they dare not resist, they will only be pushed further by that group, and in the end can only silently endure the injustice, or be bullied even worse."

Song Lujing's words paused, he looked at his sister's reddened eye sockets, his voice softened a bit, carrying a hint of dominance: "If we really have to be the bad guy, then it should be you, darling! After all, you were born to be cherished in our palms, enjoying blessings; no one can let you suffer even a bit of injustice."

Mu Youyu pressed her lips, listening to her childhood friend and brothers' words sentence by sentence, the tip of her nose slightly sour.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say she understood, wanting to say she had never been weak.

But when the words reached her lips, only a soft inhalation remained.

Jiang Liangjin had been paying attention to Mu Youyu's expression; seeing her like that, he knew her heart must have been moved.

He softly added: "Youbao has always been different; with us protecting her, she cannot endure."

"We don't want you to go looking for trouble, but we hope that when someone bullies you, or says something unpleasant to your face……"

"When you can protect yourself, or when someone is present who can protect you, bravely step forward, without fear, without worrying about any consequences, because we will always be behind you."

His gentle gaze fell on Mu Youyu's face: "If there's ever a time you feel you can't oppose, it's okay, you'll always have me by your side, and all of us……"

"As long as you tell us, we will appear at your side immediately, clearing away all obstacles for you."

Jiang Liangjin has always felt he is not strong enough.

He can still stand higher, possessing more power and ability.

So, he has recently begun taking over his father Jiang Su's and mother Shen Ningmu's family business, starting to become familiar step by step.

He wants to continuously expand his influence.

Expand to the point where he can shelter her under a sky free of worries.

Expand to the point where anyone who wants to harm her dares not have even the slightest desire to covet.

He hopes Mu Youyu will forever maintain this clear, bright smile of hers.

Hope, she can forever have the confidence to protect herself.

And he, wants to become one of those sources of confidence.

Mu Youyu listened to their sincere and firm words, looking at the group beside her who escort and protect her, her eyes reddening.

Yet she still raised the corners of her mouth, showing a brilliant smile: "I understand, with you all here, I fear nothing."

Song LuXiao was driving, not turning back, his tone full of expectation: "So, darling, you never need to consider so much, nor need to worry about people unrelated to yourself."

In these years of his own struggle in the company, he has seen too many people who fawn on the powerful and bully the weak.

And precisely because he has experienced it, he fears even more that his sister will suffer the same injustice, and thus wants to protect her even more.

Let her never have to face those dark things directly.

Jiang Liangjin saw Mu Youyu's mouth curl slightly, couldn't help but move closer to her, "Your happiness outweighs everything."

Several people again surrounded Mu Youyu, saying a few comforting words.

Coincidentally, Mu Youyu's phone rang, the screen lit up, showing a video call from Mu Xianqi, who was far away in M Guo.

She had just clicked to answer when came Mu Xianqi's anxious voice: "Darling, how are you? Brother has already finished applying for the flight route, and will fly back right away!"

"Xianqi brother, I'm fine, don't come back." Mu Youyu had already composed her emotions, waving her hand at the screen: "Everything's settled, just focus on your work!"

As the words ended, two familiar figures appeared on the other side of the screen—namely Mu Yichen and Mu Yichi.

Mu Yichen still had a speck of unknown powder on his forehead, likely because he rushed to answer the call, not even having time to tidy up.

He furrowed his brow, tone decisive: "Even if it's settled, I must go back! Whoever dares to bully my darling sister, even if it's halfway across the earth, I have to return!"

Mu Yichi leaned toward the camera, his head of black, slightly curly hair almost filling half the screen, the anger in his eyes not yet dissipated.

But when he looked at Mu Youyu, he forcibly suppressed most of it, leaving only a pitiful, wronged look.

"Exactly! When I got the message in the group, I almost knocked over the experimental sample in my hand! Anyway, I must go back, I need to see those people suffer misfortune with my own eyes, otherwise I can't swallow this anger!"

Jiang Liangjin and the other brothers didn't interrupt their chat.

Mu Youyu looked at the three brothers on the screen who were so anxious they wished they could immediately cross over back, feeling both annoyed and amused.

She remembered these three people; Mu Xianqi had already finished his affairs in M Guo, and originally he could have stayed long-term in Z Country.

This trip to M Guo seemed to be because she wanted to meet a close M Guo princess friend, and also to give a few words to her trusted subordinates, so she deliberately made another trip to M Guo.

As for the twin brothers Mu Yichen and Mu Yichi, they have been inseparable since childhood, sticking together in everything they do.

They had always stayed domestically, doing what they liked; this time going to M Guo, they were invited over to do some experiment.

She didn't ask exactly what the experiment was; she only knew that the two brothers valued it greatly.

Perhaps it was because they heard she had been wronged that the three of them gathered together.
