Chapter 197: Whether Youyu Is Here or Not Is Up to You

Jiang Su comforted: "It's fine, the future is long; as long as the two children's hearts are in tune, everything else is just a matter of time."

Jiang Liangjin lifted his gaze, looking at the scenery flashing past outside the window, the corner of his mouth curling into a smile.

"Yeah, it's just a matter of time."

Shen Ningmu glanced at Jiang Su beside her, unable to help but turn away in disdain.

This person and Mu's father have been detrimental friends for decades.

When the two get together, aside from teasing and joking, they never have a clear plan for serious matters.

Moreover, lately aside from the last public banquet, they haven't seen each other for a long time.

Relying on him to intercede is definitely hopeless.

She secretly sighed, a hint of regret suddenly welling up in her heart—

If Mu's mother still lived in C Shi, how wonderful that would be.

Then she could drag Mu's mother around everywhere, finding ways to praise her own son's virtues.

With the affection Mu's grandfather and the Song family uncles have for Mu's mother...

Securing this marriage would be a breeze, wouldn't it?

Too bad she's not here.

We can only rely on the son himself.

Shen Ningmu thought of this, then turned to look at Jiang Liangjin, her expression solemn, her tone heavy with expectation: "A Jin, whether our Jiang Family has Youyu or not is up to you."

Jiang Liangjin said seriously: "Mm, I know."

Mu Youyu and Song Huaiyu had just stepped out when Qing An, with long strides, chased after them.

He familiarly reached out, placing his hand on his sister's shoulder: "Youbao, where shall we play? The koi in the back garden have grown quite a bit—want to go feed them?"

Thinking of that, he was knocked down by his own cleverness.

Fortunately, he had previously replaced the few koi he had killed!

Song Huaiyu turned his head at the sound, seeing him and immediately speechless: "How did you come here."

Again him, a lingering shadow.

Qing An raised his eyebrows, not hiding his little thoughts, and snorted righteously: "If I don't come, you'll just carry me off and steal my adorable sister!"

He'll even speak ill of me.

Terrifying, too terrifying.

Song Huaiyu said lightly: "Your sister? She and you have no blood relation."

"Then let's go stroll in the garden!"

Mu Youyu was amused by their interaction, hurriedly interrupting, just about to say something when her wrist was gently pulled.

She looked up and saw Mu Xin, who had somehow come over.

"Xin Xin gege!" Mu Youyu's eyes lit up, her tone excited.

Mu Xin's fingertips were cool as they rested on her wrist, his voice gentle: "Dear, Grandfather said the Jiang Family people will come; they should be on the way now."

Though I really don't want to mention it, I have to.

Mu Youyu heard this, her eyes lighting up.

The Jiang Family people referred to are surely Uncle Jiang, Aunt Shen, and their family.

After all, she and Jiang Liangjin have grown up together since childhood, with the best relationship.

Grandfather Jiang can also chat with my grandfather.

Mu Youyu eagerly grabbed Song Huaiyu's hand, her steps quickening a bit: "Then let's go inside and prepare."

It's already four o'clock.

The group chat said, at the latest four-thirty, Grandfather, Great Uncle, Little Uncle, and the uncles will all have arrived.

Given Grandfather's nature, once he's certain about something important, he never announces it right away.

He always waits a short while before slowly telling them.

And A Jin will surely come early to keep her company for a while.

Grandfather Jiang, Uncle Jiang, and Aunt Shen will also come together.

Saying that, she pulled Song Huaiyu and hurried back the way they came.

Song Huaiyu was pulled by her, yet still couldn't help turning his head to look at Qing An following behind.

His thin lips parted, and in a voice only the two could hear, he lightly tossed: "I've remembered you."

The one who disturbed him and his sister's time together.

Qing An understood, snorted, turned his head to look at Mu Xin slowly catching up, and complained dissatisfied: "Xin, will he not speak ill of me in front of Youbao and you later?"

As his words fell, a low laugh came from behind.

Jun Chenling had also followed along at some point, obviously having taken in the whole scene.

He raised his eyebrows, a hint of teasing laughter flashing in his eyes.

He stepped forward, neither lightly nor heavily, patted Qing An's shoulder, and added insult to injury: "Who let you push someone into the water last time? This is his deserved right, the right to badmouth you behind your back."

Qing An reacted: "Oh, I want him to forgive me."

Mu Xin glanced at Qing An indifferently, didn't respond, only said: "Don't provoke Huaiyu ge."

In the main hall, the atmosphere was now completely different from before.

Upon learning the Jiang Family party was coming, the originally noisy hall instantly quieted a bit.

The expressions on the brothers' faces all carried a hint of subtlety.

Mu Xianqi leaned on the sofa, fingers idly tapping his knee: "The Jiang Family is... using the excuse of a meal to settle the matter of A Jin and Youbao?"

As soon as he said that, several gazes snapped to him.

Mu Yichen was thinking, "I think so."

Mu Yichi leaned against him, hearing the words, he immediately nodded and added, "They even specially chose these days when we're all here to come over; their intentions are really obvious."

Song LuXiao snorted, arms crossed, said: "Nice try! Youbao is still so young, it's not up to them to decide."

He knew full well; the Jiang family's visit this time certainly has an ulterior motive.

Mu Nian sat on the single sofa beside the main seat, lightly said: "Grandfather already agreed, so he naturally has his considerations; the two families have always been old friends, it's just a meal, no need to overthink."

Though he said that, his eyes also showed a hint of scrutiny.

Obviously, they didn't treat this as an ordinary family dinner.

Song Huaixian sat aside, holding a plate of fruit, hearing that he kept nodding, mouth full of a watermelon chunk, vaguely echoing, "Mmm mmm!"

Song Yusui also chimed in: "Exactly! Don't overthink, it's been a while since we last saw A Jin!"

It's a good chance to chat.

The other few brothers who eyed Jiang Liangjin like tigers automatically blocked out those two's words.

Because Mu Youyu was about to come in, they tacitly didn't speak to refute.

So as not to let her hear and spoil her good mood.

That Jiang Liangjin kid, his feelings for Youbao— which of us brothers doesn't see it?

Mu Youyu and Song LuXiao had just stepped in when a servant's respectful announcement came: "Miss, all young masters, the Jiang elders have arrived!"

Mu Youyu's eyes flashed; she didn't expect them to arrive earlier than she had anticipated.

She let go of Song LuXiao's hand, stepped forward, "I'll go greet Jiang Ye Ye!"

Song Huaixian put down the fruit plate, wiped his mouth, "Come on, let's go see A Jin!"

The other brothers reacted, also got up and followed her toward the door.

At the door, Jiang Ye Ye was supported by Jiang Su.

Shen Ningmu linked her arm with Jiang Ye Ye's other arm, her face bearing a proper smile.

Jiang Liangjin followed at the back, still holding a few gift boxes, his gaze lifting.

He saw Mu Youyu at the very front of the crowd.

The girl wore a light blue dress, her hair loosely tied up, revealing a slender neck adorned with a necklace, smiling at him, "A Jin."
