Chapter 180: Weight

Mu Youyu thought of this; although she had long been used to being doted on by those around her, her eye sockets still couldn't help but heat up again.

Jiang Liangjin noticed her reddening eye sockets, gently pinched her palm, didn't move closer to the screen, only silently comforting her.

Mu Xin reached out and rubbed her hair gently, then moved close to the screen facing the three, "If you three have anything, just stay there; returning to the country also takes over a day, so no need to go back and forth."

"No!"

Mu Xianqi's steps paused, cutting him off, his tone firm: "My sister has been wronged; nothing is more important than that!"

He had to return to the country anyway.

Never mind that returning only takes a day and a half; even if he had to rush day and night without sleep, he must go back!

To see his sister in person.

Mu Yichi waved his hand indifferently: "Hey, Xinbao, don't follow Youbao in worrying about these; we've got it under control."

The three brothers on screen still wore anxious faces; Mu Youyu looked at them, naturally smiled, and said: "Really, no need; A Jin and the brothers are here."

Song Lujing sat in the passenger seat, his figure hidden outside the camera, raised his voice: "Exactly, we're here! Focus on your own affairs, don't go back and forth; it's not too late to return after you're done."

Mu Xin nodded along.

Song LuXiao gripped the steering wheel, making sure those on screen could hear: "Just get on with your own business."

Don't have them return one after another, each vying with him for the sister.

Jiang Liangjin gave no response.

The three on the other end of the screen could already tell whose voices were which.

Mu Xianqi frowned, obviously not fully reassured; after a moment's thought, his tone softened slightly: "I know you're here, but I..."

"Xianqi brother," Mu Youyu softly interrupted, "I've grown up too; you can't forever treat me as a little child needing constant protection, right?"

That remark made everyone blink in surprise.

Jiang Liangjin looked at her, paused, but still didn't speak.

Mu Yichen stared at the screen for a few seconds, sighed, not understanding why his sister suddenly thought she wasn't a child: "The treasure is still young as ever!"

He reached to wipe the powder from his brow, tone helpless yet indulgent: "What's more, even if you were fifty, in our eyes you'd still be that little sister needing care!"

"My Yichen brother is right!" Mu Yichi immediately agreed, his slightly curly black hair swaying with his motion.

Seeing Mu Youyu still wanting to argue, he quickly changed the subject: "But… speaking of which… how is that Jiang Liangjin kid looking after people?"

Upon mentioning Jiang Liangjin, the gazes of Mu Xianqi, Mu Yichen, and Mu Yichi on screen instantly locked onto Mu Xin in the camera.

As if demanding an explanation: "Xinbao, you've been closest to your sister lately; you must know what's been up with Jiang Liangjin recently, right?"

Mu Xin didn't understand their looks; besides, he wasn't close to Jiang Liangjin, so he said nothing.

Mu Xianqi looked at Mu Xin, also realized, his anxiety turning to dissatisfaction: "Exactly! This kid hasn't even shown his face! Where was he when the treasure had an accident?"

"What's he been up to, I can't figure out how the treasure made up with him..." Mu Yichi also muttered, his tone clearly dissatisfied.

However, he said that last sentence very softly, for fear of upsetting his sister, almost like talking to himself.

Song LuXiao, sitting in the driver's seat, also suddenly realized: "Exactly!"

He had just been worrying about his sister and hadn't even noticed Jiang Liangjin's presence!

Jiang Liangjin and his sister attend the same school, seeing each other every day.

After such a major incident involving his sister, shouldn't he have rushed out immediately to protect her and drag away those troublemakers?

How could he still let the treasure sister suffer injustice?

Song Lujing remained silent.

Mu Xin turned his head to look at Jiang Liangjin beside Mu Youyu, his eyes holding a hint of inquiry.

Jiang Liangjin naturally leaned forward, nodded at the screen, earnest: "Xianqi brother, Yichen brother, Yichi brother, I will take good care of Youbao; the follow-up arrangements are already made, you can rest assured."

The three were already used to his extra word and the term of endearment he learned from the treasure sister, so they didn't mind.

"Rest assured?" Mu Yichen snorted, "Last time with the Yu Cheng incident you were late, scaring the treasure; this time you let someone bully her to her face, and still want us to feel at ease?"

Mu Xianqi added: "And what about that An Family matter! Are you messing this up, kid!"

Otherwise, why would the treasure sister think of him?

Mu Youyu subtly moved closer to Jiang Liangjin; actually she was afraid the other brothers would explode, so she hadn't told anyone except Mu Xianqi.

Mu Yichi, although unaware of what the An Family affair was, still nodded in agreement: "Exactly! This time we absolutely can't just let it go!"

Thinking of the An Family matter, Jiang Liangjin didn't retort, just deepened the remorse in his eyes: "It was my oversight; it won't happen again."

Seeing this, Mu Youyu quickly tugged Jiang Liangjin's arm, cooing at the screen: "It's not A Jin's fault! I just wasn't paying attention, and A Jin rushed over quickly, even blocking those people for me."

The three on screen exchanged a glance, ultimately unwilling to blame their own treasure sister harshly.

Mu Xianqi was the first to relent, his tone easing: "Fine, seeing your plea, we'll let him off this time."

Mu Yichen immediately added: "Our plane will take off soon; after landing we'll go straight to your place and discuss details then."

Mu Yichi's face broke into a smile again as he waved at the screen, tone a bit coquettish: "Brothers will be here at the latest by noon tomorrow! Treasure, remember to think of your brothers~"

After hanging up the video call, Mu Youyu let out a long sigh, leaning against the car seat, her face showing a hint of helplessness yet her voice soft: "Again troubling them to make a special trip; surely it will delay many things."

Needless to say, Mu Xianqi, but Mu Yichen and Mu Yichi are still in the lab.

"Not troublesome," Song LuXiao glanced at her, tone light: "They'd love to come back to keep you company; usually they're just thinking of excuses to visit the Mu Family, and it hasn't been so straightforward."

Song Lujing sat in the passenger seat, naturally understanding in his heart.

In the family group chat, Xinbao and those brothers exploded upon seeing the message.

Saying they'd wait for him to return to explain and handle things, their tone urgent as if they wanted to sprout wings and fly back immediately!

But who doesn't know, with their means, they wouldn't wait for them to return to the country.

Within ten minutes of hearing the news about those who bullied the sister, they likely sent people to investigate; the family ancestral graves were probably already dug up!

Put simply, they just wanted to seize this chance to return, comfort the sister a few words, and boost their presence!

All to vie for their weight in the sister's heart.

Mu Xin also naturally understands the thoughts of several older brothers, but...

His gaze fell to the side, Jiang Liangjin was softly saying something to Mu Youyu, his tone gentle.

And Mu Youyu listened very seriously, a smile always on her face.

Mu Xin sighed in his heart; it seems in his sister's heart, this Jiang Liangjin still carries more weight, right?
