Chapter 285

Song Yan had no time to bother with him, their gaze fixed on the girl on the piano bench, their fingers unconsciously picking at the edge of the small stool.

Then tonight they will send a message to Lu Yuchu, asking him to come loiter more often in front of the sister.

After all, this person's voice has attracted countless fans; they always have a way with coaxing girls.

On this side, Jiang Liangjin had already started praising Mu Xi in boast mode, "Wow, elder brother is so skilled!"

"Elder brother is so understanding, truly worthy of being elder brother."

"Elder brother can now have a showdown with Teacher Tan."

"Youbao has such a formidable elder brother guiding them, winning first place in the show is definitely no problem."

Speaking, they kept moving their hands, still feeding Mu Youyu strawberries.

Mu Xi kept a straight face, the little person in their heart already feeling pleased, "Not bad."

Tan Jingyan held the tea cup to cover their lips, the tea almost sloshing out.

Bai Yun and Xia Chao-yi were practically shaking with suppressed laughter, yet dared not laugh out loud, fearing to break Mu Youyu's piano state.

Qing An didn't pay much attention to them, only occasionally glancing at their sister, then lowered their head to play a game.

Song Yan watched this scene, finally realizing the feeling in their heart.

Jiang Liangjin relies solely on that silver tongue, having even coaxed Elder Brother Xi into dizziness, let alone the simple sister.

They clenched their teeth in silence, firming up the idea in their heart.

They aren't as eloquent as Jiang Liangjin; maybe Lu Yuchu isn't either.

At that moment, Mu Youyu's fingers fell, the piano sound rang out again, still the adapted version of "Lone Walk".

Bai Yun sat beside her, their clear, bright voice sounding at just the right moment, perfectly blending with the piano.

Xia Chao-yi had already brought over a cup of warm water.

Tan Jingyan closed their eyes to listen carefully, fingers lightly tapping the rhythm on their knees.

Under the influence of Star Sink, her piano tone seemed to come alive, able to easily tug at hearts.

This made them involuntarily recall their own past experiences.

After the piece ended, they slowly opened their eyes, nodding in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, Ah You's second run is several times better than the first; the little student's voice also fits well, after a few more practices the coordination will become even more seamless."

Mu Youyu stopped moving, without first looking at Tan Jingyan or Mu Xi, but immediately turning their head toward Jiang Liangjin, "Ah Jin, how was it?"

Jiang Liangjin replied without hesitation, "I would completely trounce Xiao Ting's disciples and grand-disciples!"

"If Xiao Ting were here, they'd surely regret not taking you as a disciple sooner."

As they said this, they deliberately lifted their chin, as if speaking up for Tan Jingyan, and also as if simply feeling proud of Mu Youyu.

Mu Youyu knew they were exaggerating, "Where exactly?"

Tan Jingyan, hearing this, was delighted, "Exactly, exactly, far superior to Xiao Ting!"

"Xiao Ting, listen up—even a little child outshines you!"

Song Yan was thinking when the assistant's message came again: 【Young Master, the message has arrived, that plot of land was sent by someone at Young Master Jiang's behest】

They instinctively patted Qing An's arm once.

The force was so great that Qing An was frightened, their phone almost hitting the carpet.

Qing An hurriedly shifted their hips away from them, "Ah! What's gotten into you? I was just about to clear the fifth level!"

Song Yan had no mind to deal with their complaint, their gaze straight toward Jiang Liangjin.

The youth wore a light gray cotton-padded jacket, standing tall beside Mu Youyu.

Their side profile was clean and sharp, light falling on their long lashes, casting a faint shadow.

When speaking to the sister, they wore a light smile, their eyes full of affection.

It seemed as if the whole world had narrowed to the girl before them, all light naturally gathering upon them.

He had someone send it, which is essentially the same as him sending it.

Song Yan felt a mixture of emotions.

If they wanted to secure that plot of land, they could easily approach Mu Nian, Mu Xianqi, or even Lu Yuchu.

With their abilities, a single sentence would settle it; there's no need for Jiang Liangjin to go through the trouble.

Jiang Liangjin wouldn't, for the sake of this plot of land, have bestowed a favor on someone else and incurred an obligation, would they?

That thought had just arisen when Song Yan themselves dismissed it.

Given the Jiang family's strength, Jiang Liangjin hardly needs to incur a favor over a plot of land.

But why would he do this?

I have always been hostile toward him.

If he hasn't caused me trouble, that's already good enough; why would he go out of his way to give me a benefit for no reason?

The more Song Yan thought, the more confused they became; that hint of jealousy in their heart was unknowingly replaced by a complex emotion.

Jiang Liangjin noticed his expression, and when no one was paying attention, they furtively pulled out their phone, finding their capable subordinate: 【Go check what Song Yan wants, give them anything you can】

The subordinate had been bored out of their mind day after day, most matters being handled by Gu Xingnan.

Now seeing there's work to be done, a chance to perform beside the young master, they immediately sat up and replied instantly: 【Yes, young master, I'm on it!】

Not even ten minutes later, Song Yan, still immersed in that complex emotion, felt their phone vibrate again—another message from the assistant: 【Young Master, you've won another prize!】

Song Yan sighed: 【What prize did I win?】

They certainly didn't want Jiang Liangjin's charity!

How could they possibly repay this favor?

They couldn't just accept someone's plot of land out of the blue, could they?

Assistant: 【The land on the eastern side of C Shi…】

Song Yan looked at Jiang Liangjin and the precious sister with a complex gaze.

Not bothering to read further, he sent: 【He's so generous—let him send me a company, okay, preferably one that can rival the Jiang clan】

After sending that slightly spiteful message, Song Yan tossed his phone aside.

Giving land and giving a company aren't even in the same league, let alone a company that could rival the Jiang clan—it's pure fantasy.

But he had barely put down his phone for two seconds when it vibrated again; the assistant messaged: 【Young Master, Jiang's subordinate just contacted me】

【If you need it, there's a media company under the Jiang clan that's currently expanding its business and is willing to transfer it to you free of charge—you just need to sign】

Song Yan: "……" He was completely dumbfounded.

What is Jiang Liangjin trying to do?

Out of the blue, giving him land, giving him a company?

Could it be that he wants to buy him off with money so he'll stop competing for his sister?

Given Jiang Liangjin's personality, he doesn't seem like the type to do something like this.

The more Song Yan thought about it, the more something felt off.

And Jiang Liangjin seemed not to notice Song Yan's oddness, even stepping forward and saying, "Brother Yan, have you eaten?"

Song Yan: "……"
