Chapter 237

Jiang Ye Ye went along with what he said, even nodding slightly, clearly agreeing with his words.

"Young Master Mu..." Jiang Ji opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was cut off by Mu Xin raising his hand.

"I'm not lecturing you." Mu Xin's tone remained flat, "I just want to tell you, some rotten mud can't be helped onto the wall, so don't touch it."

"You and your sister are smart people; you should know who to get close to and who to stay away from."

Mu Xin looked toward Jiang Siqian, "Your sister's thoughts are simple; don't let her get dragged into those dirty affairs, otherwise, by the time she's sold, she won't even know how it happened."

Jiang Siqian shrank his neck, instinctively nodding.

Jiang Ye Ye heaved a heavy sigh, set down his wine cup, and said in a deep voice: "A Xin is right, the Jiang Family's family style cannot be ruined in the hands of those scoundrels! A Ji, Siqian, remember from now on, stay away from Jiang Huan and Jiang Yun."

Jiang Ji nodded firmly, "I understand, Grandpa."

He naturally knows, his father's and Jiang Yun's thoughts are nothing but self-destruction!

He also knows that the Mu family protects its own; if the Jiang Huan father and son dare to act against Jiang Liangjin and Mu Youyu again, the Mu family will certainly not let it go.

Mu Xin only then satisfiedly curled the corner of his mouth, lifted his tea cup, took another sip, as if that whole admonition just now were merely a few offhand remarks.

Mu Youyu's eyes lit up, "Brother is too handsome, right?"

Jiang Liangjin echoed: "Right, brother is too handsome."

Qing An stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth, "Wow."

Jiang Ye Ye looked at Mu Xin, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, mixed with a bit of apology, he raised his cup toward his direction: "A Xin, sorry to have let you see us like this."

"It's fine." Mu Xin said lightly, "After all, the Jiang family's affairs are ultimately the Jiang family's internal matters. But there is one thing I hope the Jiang family understands."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the Jiang family members present, "Our treasure you all know, A Jin is also someone who grew up with her from childhood, basically half a Mu family member. Whoever dares to move them even a bit, no matter who, the Mu family will not let it go."

Half a Mu family member!?

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole table fell silent.

Mu Xi and Song Lujing exchanged a glance, both seeing astonishment in the other's eyes.

They thought Mu Xin would at least need to observe Jiang Liangjin for a few more years, but they never expected that after such a short time, he would directly give him this kind of identity recognition.

Qing An felt he changed his tune really fast; just a month ago he was still complaining with Jun Chenling that Mu Xin would need several years to accept Jiang Liangjin.

Mu Youyu didn't think there was anything wrong with that; she just thought her brother was incredibly handsome.

Jiang Liangjin looked at Mu Xin, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes.

He knew that Mu Xin was doing this to establish his authority for him, and also to back up Mu Youyu.

Jiang Su and Shen Ningmu hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, A Xin, rest assured, we will never let this happen again."

Holy crap, what's going on, Mu Xin came to back up his own son?

Both of them were overjoyed in their hearts, this is a huge blessing!

Mu Xin's words amounted to an implicit acknowledgment of the relationship between Jiang Liangjin and Mu Youyu; with his backing, who would dare to look down on their family's A Jin?

Jiang Ye Ye also said in a deep voice: "Our Jiang family hasn't become that muddled; whoever dares to move A Jin and A Youyu must first get past me."

Song Lujing almost spat out a mouthful of water, then after composing himself, he said to Mu Xi: "... What's the situation with Xinbao?"

Mu Xi: "How would I know? You ask me, I ask who?"

Qing An was eager: "Ask me, ask me!"

Song Lujing couldn't be bothered to give him tone: "Speak."

Qing An pinched his voice: "I'm the same as little Xi Xi~"

Mu Xi kept a straight face: "Ugh."

Song Lujing rarely saw him show this expression, he laughed hahaha: "Pay attention, pay attention, this isn't a no‑person zone."

Mu Youyu smiled faintly, eyes bright: "Brother is the best!"

Jiang Liangjin looked at her appearance, his heart warmed, he reached out and took her hand resting under the table, his fingertips lightly hooking her pinky, "I heard that; from now on, I am yours."

Mu Youyu lifted her chin: "From now on, I'll cover you."

Jiang Liangjin was made to laugh by her, his voice indulgent to an extreme: "Sure, then when Sister Youyu covers me, do I need to pay protection fees?"

"Hmm..."

Mu Youyu tilted her head, feigning thought, she tapped her chin, after a moment she deliberately said: "The protection fee can be owed for now; when you make a comeback someday, repaying me double won't be too late."

Jiang Liangjin went along: "Okay, I will definitely repay Sister Youyu in the future."

Mu Xin nearby glanced at the two lovey‑dovey people playing role‑play, shook his head helplessly, said nothing more, and just added another spoonful of soup to his sister's bowl.

This meal went especially smoothly.

The next day.

It was the third day of the sports meet.

The finals had already begun; Mu Youyu had just come over after receiving the gold medals for the women's two relay races.

Liu Yunmi and the entire Class A gathered around.

"Sister Youyu and the class captain are too awesome!"

"Luo Jie is also strong, she's got real ability."

The short‑haired girl lifted her chin: "Me? Me?"

"Awesome, awesome."

Bai Yun pushed to the front, snatched the gold medal from Mu Youyu's hand, and hung it around Liu Yunmi's neck.

Liu Yunmi's neck was already loaded with medals, gold and silver flashing and making people dizzy, yet she laughed so hard she couldn't close her mouth: "All the treasures of our class are amazing!"

Bai Yun was somewhat dissatisfied: "Why do I have to be paired with Leng Yueyou? It's not fun at all; otherwise I would have gotten a gold medal too."

Mu Youyu comforted: "Xiao Yun is really amazing; her running form is extremely beautiful, and I and Song Song even took a few photos!"

Bai Yun widened her eyes: "What! Song Song took an ugly photo of me!"

Mo Song was lowering his head, fiddling with the camera; hearing this, his hand shook, and he hurriedly shielded the camera in his arms: "I didn't take an ugly shot, really, I even adjusted the filter."

Bai Yun sees his guilty look, secretly thinks it's bad, reaches out to grab her own camera.

That side is in an uproar; Mu Youyu turns her head to look at her brother not far away.

Mu Xin wears a black baseball cap, its brim pressed low, covering most of his face, leaning sideways against the chair back, his whole body exuding a lazy vibe.

Qing An sits beside him, holding an ice pop, happily eating it; seeing Mu Youyu looking over, he also waves the stick in his hand.

Mu Xin lifts his eyes, turns the cap, pulls out his phone, taps a few times with his fingertips, and Mu Youyu's phone goes 'ding'.

She pulls it out and sees it's a bank notification—Mu Xin has transferred 5.2 million.

Mu Xin smiles, 'A reward for our little champion.'

Mu Youyu already has several black cards from her brothers, more than she can use.

She trots over, squats beside him, shakes her phone, 'Brother, I don't want your money; keep it for yourself—isn't the company busy?'

Mu Xin rubs her head, sees her slightly flushed face, casually puts his cap on her hair, 'I'm not short of money, not busy.'

Qing An comes over, 'Ah Xin is now a hands-off manager; you should ask Xiao Yi and Xiao Er if they're busy.'

Mu Youyu smiles with narrowed eyes, 'Then we should raise their wages.'

Mu Xin nods, 'Okay, listening to dear.'

Jiang Liangjin, Gu Xingnan, and Yu Ci have already gone to the 1000-meter check-in area.

Several people are at the 1000-meter finish line.

Not long after, Mu Youyu sees the three go onto the field.

Jiang Liangjin wears a full black student council uniform, posture straight.

He seems to sense Mu Youyu's gaze, turns his head, and through the crowd curls the corner of his mouth toward her.

Mu Youyu's heart skips a beat, and she quickly waves at him.

The sports committee, excited, brings out four banners, 'Come on, come on, raise the banners!'

Mu Youyu is also curious what banners the sports committee prepared; she sees him directing a few boys to unfold the four red-background gold-lettered banners one by one, glittering in the sunlight and making eyes sparkle.
