Chapter 185

Yan Yuejiu thought of those people again, narrowed her eyes, "Those who bullied you must compensate until they lose everything!"

Mu Youyu saw her face flush with anger for her sake, but instead raised her hand and gripped her wrist, softly soothing: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm fine already, it's not worth getting upset over strangers and harming your health, it's not worth it!"

Her voice was soft, naturally carrying a soothing power.

Mu Nian in the driver's seat also turned his head, speaking gently: "All right, all right, Youbao is fine, don't be angry, we've already taken care of the follow-up."

Yan Yuejiu still snorted, barely suppressing the anger in her heart, then suddenly remembered something, her tone gaining a hint of excitement: "Right, Song Huaiyu is back; now the only ones missing at home are Mu Xianqi, Mu Yichen, and Mu Yichi, and they'll arrive tomorrow."

Mu Nian laughed and added: "It's fine, your other brothers are waiting at home; tonight we'll have a half-reunion meal at the Mu family, a lively gathering, and tomorrow we can have the full reunion meal."

Mu Youyu: "Good!"

Mu Family Manor

The group had long been waiting quietly at the castle gate, their gazes frequently turning toward the entrance, full of anticipation.

Song Huaiyu walked in front, holding a snow-white, soft and cute glutinous rice ball in his arms, his fingertips lightly scratching its chin, also holding a cat treat, teasing it.

Amidst his usual icy demeanor, a touch of softness rarely seen appeared.

Mu Youyu had just steadied herself after getting out of the car when she heard Song Huaixian noisily demanding to hold the glutinous rice ball from not far away.

She couldn't help but curl her lips, just as she lifted her foot to walk over, she heard Song Huaiyu's low chuckle.

"I picked this for the treasure, are you again claiming it as your own choice?" He said with a hint of disdain, "How can you steal credit?"

He even specially raised it for a week!

"When did I steal credit?" Song Huaixian exclaimed, hastily retorting, "I took extra care of this day you gave me; saying I chose it isn't that far off!"

Mu Youyu's steps paused slightly, her gaze falling on the glutinous rice ball in Song Huaiyu's arms.

Seeing the little creature nuzzling affectionately against Song Huaiyu's palm, a clingy demeanor.

She watched this warm scene, gave a soft laugh, and didn't say much more.

Song Huaixian saw his brother didn't believe him, quickly waved his hand in front of his eyes and added: "Besides, I never said I bought it; I clearly said I chose it, I didn't get it wrong!"

Song Huaiyu glanced at him and lightly uttered two words: "... Sick."

The people around had long noticed the three of them and were accustomed to the daily bickering between the Song Huaiyu brothers.

No one paid them any mind; instead, people stepped forward one by one to approach Mu Youyu.

Qing An stood aside, enjoying the spectacle without caring about the scale, clapped his hands and shouted: "Fight! Fight! This is boring as is; only a livelier scene is fun!"

Song Huaixian: "..." He turned his head and glared at Qing An, this guy really adds fuel to the fire.

Song Huaiyu gave him a sideways glance, his tone carrying a faint threat: "Your good brother behaves like this; wait until the treasure isn't around, and see how I deal with you."

Grandfather Mu stepped forward first, his eyes landing on Yan Yuejiu filled with smiles, speaking warmly: "Little Jiu has come as well."

This is the first granddaughter-in-law his generation has settled on; he dotes on her dearly, and the more he looks, the more satisfied he is.

Mu Nian laughed: "Grandfather, I brought Ah Jiu to see you."

Yan Yuejiu nodded: "Grandfather, I came especially to see you!"

The two are engaged, and it hasn't been long since the wedding; now both families interact frequently, so they're not distant.

Mu Xin simply stepped forward to Mu Youyu's side: "Dear, are you tired?"

Grandfather Mu and Yan Yuejiu exchanged a word, then also stepped forward, his gaze landing on Mu Youyu's face, full of heartache.

"Youbao barely ate any lunch! Could she be hungry?"

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding uncles and elder brothers also gathered around.

They surrounded Mu Youyu, asking this and that, fearing she had been wronged, tired, or hungry.

Mu Youyu was instantly inundated with warm words, responding patiently and gently to each.

Her voice was clear and soft, her attitude amiable, without the slightest impatience.

Her obedient, well-behaved appearance makes one's heart fill with joy; the more you look, the more endearing she becomes.

Yan Yuejiu stood aside, finding it amusing, turned her head to glance at Mu Nian beside her, gave him a light push, and said: "Hurry up and vie for favor, or you'll lose your spot!"

At dinner that night she still wanted to sit beside Youbao.

Mu Nian had long grown accustomed to it, helplessly replied, then stepped forward, his gaze on Mu Youyu: "Youbao, if you're tired, go inside; once you're in the house it won't be crowded."

Mu Xi saw her sister agree, also nodded, and pulled her to prepare to go inside.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they entered the house, sat down for a short while, and then it was dinner time.

The table was filled with people.

Mu Nian had been busy all day but still couldn't snag the seat next to Mu Youyu.

He could only sit not far away, his gaze occasionally falling on his sister.

To Mu Youyu's left sat Grandfather Mu, the old man occasionally giving her some of her favorite dishes, repeatedly urging her to eat more.

On her right sat Mu Xin, also occasionally giving her dishes.

Seeing Mu Xi seated one seat away from her sister made her feel sour.

Lu Yuchu sitting opposite put down his chopsticks and asked: "Treasure, are you going to C University tomorrow?"

He had still heard it from Lin Tingsong.

This remark drew everyone at the table to look at Mu Youyu.

She merely smiled: "Yes, someone invited me to give an art lecture; it's already been arranged."

Song Yusui, upon hearing that, immediately put down his chopsticks, his voice full of pride: "Treasure is amazing! Being able to give a lecture at C University!"

His sister is just that outstanding!

Immediately after, the others at the table also began to speak.

Praise after praise came one after another, the tone brimming with proud admiration.
