Chapter 241

~7 min read 1,250 words

After the run, Mu Youyu and the four of them were surrounded by Class A and praised a few sentences, then they dispersed, planning to gather at the student council office.

Mu Xin, Qing An, and she said they were going to answer Jun Chenling's call and weren't nearby.

Mu Youyu then pulled Jiang Liangjin over to the three, her tone tinged with surprise: 'How did you guys get here?'

Liu Wanwan lifted her chin, tone proud: 'Hey, we're on winter break!'

Mu Youyu's steps halted at the words, incredulous: 'Winter break in November?'

When did Sheng Luo start having such an early break?

Jiang Liangjin was being pulled by her, making no extra movements.

He had also met Liu Wanwan and the others a few times before, knowing they were her friends, and upon hearing this he chimed in: 'We haven't even passed New Year yet.'

Yu Yu interrupted: 'Wanwan was just joking; our school is holding an academic competition, we got a temporary five-day break, but we have to make up on weekends, so after calculating we still have a few extra hours of class.'

They didn't gain any advantage at all.

Feng Cen also nodded repeatedly, 'Exactly, it's so boring; I almost got dragged into the Art Competition.'

Mu Youyu was about to ask where they were headed next, when Liu Wanwan's gaze suddenly swept past her and landed behind her, her eyes lighting up as she immediately shouted to interrupt:

'Hey! You aren't that little girl from this morning, are you? Do you know our Mu sister?'

Mu Youyu and Jiang Liangjin turned back at the same time; Jiang Liangjin instinctively pulled her to his side, and saw Mo Song walking toward them.

Mo Song's gaze had originally been on Mu Youyu, but upon seeing Liu Wanwan and the two others, he immediately showed a faint smile: 'It's you guys, what a coincidence.'

Mu Youyu raised an eyebrow, looking at Mo Song then at Liu Wanwan: 'You guys know Song Song?'

Upon hearing that, Jiang Liangjin gave Mo Song a light glance, with no hesitation, then shifted his gaze back to Mu Youyu.

Liu Wanwan lifted her chin: 'We met this morning.'

She gave a brief explanation, and Mu Youyu roughly understood.

Simply put, these three were on their way to see a friend of Feng Cen's in C Shi when they passed an alley and suddenly several sleazy men rushed out.

Their eyes lingered lecherously on them, speaking vulgar jokes, and they even wanted to touch them.

After Liu Wanwan finished speaking, Feng Cen interjected with an arrogant expression: 'What a small matter, just a bunch of petty thugs, and they dare to lay hands on my people!'

Liu Wanwan immediately agreed: 'Exactly! Cen Cen led the charge, punching each one! Those guys looked fierce, but they were just paper tigers; after I and Xiao Yu went up, they were beaten down in a few moves and fled with their heads covered.'

The three hadn't brought bodyguards; after all, they were from a wealthy family in a neighboring city, coming to see a friend just thought it was a casual outing, and no one expected to run into this.

Mu Youyu, upon hearing this, more or less guessed it.

Liu Wanwan and the others, although they are pampered wealthy heirs, are not completely helpless.

Feng Cen has practiced martial arts since childhood; Liu Wanwan and Yu Yu also learned self-defense, so dealing with a few petty thugs is more than enough.

Those who provoked them definitely ended up with injuries far from minor.

Jiang Liangjin was indifferent.

Mu Youyu confirmed that the few people were fine, then asked: 'What happened next?'

Yu Yu got to the point: 'After that, we just saw your classmate and an aunt beside her.'

Feng Cen is easygoing, especially since it's a friend of a friend; he immediately strode forward, slung his arm around Mo Song's shoulders in a carefree manner, and said cheerfully: 'By the way, is that aunt your mom? She seems to treat you well.'

Mo Song herself didn't know why that person treated her well.

It's just about interests.

She only said: 'No... that's Aunt Cheng.'

To be honest, when she first saw the spirited young man lying on the ground, she thought these people were staging a scam to extort Feng Cen and the three.

Only now did she realize that it was those few who had beaten those people down.

Indeed, one cannot judge a person by appearance.

Mu Youyu, upon hearing the character 'Cheng,' already guessed it was Cheng Siqing.

Jiang Liangjin then confirmed it was Cheng Siqing.

After all, Youbao had mentioned to him before that Mo Song and Cheng Siqing seemed to have some connection.

As for what relationship these two have, he didn't pay much attention.

Anyway, as long as Mo Song doesn't overstep with his people, he can't be bothered to inquire.

Originally thought they wouldn't hear about these two again, but a few days later Youbao and he said that Cheng Siqing's expression when looking at Song Yusui was strange.

Thinking that Song Yusui is her brother, he that day sent people to investigate...

Thinking about the investigation results, Jiang Liangjin's lips curled up in a faint, inscrutable smile.

Cheng Siqing's behavior is indeed abnormal, but that mindset was never directed at him.

While saying this, Yu Yu added details: 'Mu sister's classmate saw it and helped call the police; afterward she and the aunt gave us evidence... saying these people wanted to extort us.'

Liu Wanwan thought of this and wanted to laugh: 'Right, right, the police believed us! We also have to thank the little classmate's help, otherwise we'd waste a lot of time.'

Mo Song smiled: 'It's fine, we just happened to be passing by.'

They didn't dwell on this topic much.

Waiting for Mo Song to go find Leng Yueyou, Jiang Liangjin then asked: 'What should we eat?'

Mu Youyu asked the three friends: 'What do you want to eat?'

'Whatever, we're not picky, just follow Mu sister!'

Mu Youyu: 'That meal?'

They all agreed.

Liu Wanwan looked at the two standing together, raised her eyebrows, made eyes at them teasingly: 'Yo, will we be bothering you two having some alone time? Otherwise we'll just not join the fun.'

Mu Youyu smiled: 'How could that be? I'm thrilled you three came to find me, no bother at all.'

Liu Wanwan was then satisfied.

Jiang Liangjin gave an 'hmm.'

Anyway, these three people aren't coming, Mu Xin and Qing An also have to come.

This thought hadn't lasted a few seconds before Mu Xin and Qing An walked over to Mu Youyu, the former speaking first: "Dear, something happened over at A Ling's side; I need to go hold a small meeting, I have to go to the company first."

Qing An took over, his expression sharp: "I also need to help; there's a problem with the joint project between Y Guo and M Guo over there. My brother told me to handle it however I see fit."

Mu Youyu knew that as a prince of M Guo, if he helped, Jun Chenling would have the upper hand: "It's fine, brother; is it serious over there?"

"Not serious, it's just that he can't handle it alone." Mu Xin said at the end, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

Both are prodigies; he can't understand why Jun Chenling can't even handle this small matter.
