Chapter 29

~8 min read 1,484 words

Leng Yueyue didn't bother with Yu Ci, but looked at Mu Youyu and Liu Wanwan with a hostile gaze.

She walked a few steps to Gu Xingnan's front, questioning: "Xingnan, who are these two girls? Why are you playing with girls other than me!"

Gu Xingnan's eyes lost their former brightness, only showing irritation.

"I am A Nan's friend." A clear female voice sounded; Mu Youyu slowly rose to her feet and walked up to her.

Immediately, Mu Youyu shifted her tone: "Besides, who A Nan plays with is hardly your business, is it?"

Her light-colored eyes turned cold, and she just stared straight at Leng Yueyue.

Mu Youyu's appearance is pleasing, with obedient brows and eyes, light-colored pupils, soft lips, making people want to get close.

But when her expression sank, her aura changed instantly, revealing the pride in her bones, even her breathing seemed to carry a faint aloofness.

Especially those light-colored refined eyes, the coldness and disdain inside them almost overflowed.

Leng Yueyue was shaken by her aura and stepped back a step; seeing that inexplicably familiar gaze, she couldn't help but shout: "I am his fiancée!"

Hearing this, Mu Youyu's lips twitched slightly, revealing a hint of disdain.

She slightly raised her chin and lightly replied: "Fiancée? As far as I know, A Nan doesn't seem to like you."

Moreover, this fiancée status was obtained improperly.

Leng Yueyue stared at her fixedly.

Dislike...

That sentence is true; otherwise, she wouldn't have forced her father to scheme against Gu Xingnan's father, using such despicable means to barely settle this engagement.

She didn't know how to rebut, only managing to squeeze out a word from between her teeth: "You!"

"Besides, forcing others is not a good habit." Mu Youyu showed no weakness, her tone light and airy: "The principle of 'do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire'—do I need to teach you that?"

After saying that, she looked at Gu Xingnan, her eyes softening a bit, though her demeanor remained unchanged: "A Nan, what do you say?"

Liu Wanwan saw Mu Youyu's current state, pursed her lips and gave a faint smile.

This is the Mu elder sister of our Sheng Luo.

One glance can subdue a person!

Gu Xingnan, seeing such Mu Youyu, was somewhat taken aback.

After all, he had only seen Mu Youyu as very obedient, occasionally showing a young lady's temper; before, whenever something happened, she stayed silent, relying on A Jin or the few older brothers behind her to resolve things.

Who would have thought that after going to A City and staying less than a year, she would change so much.

Jiang Liangjin's gaze had been fixed on Mu Youyu's back, his cold pupils showing a hint of softness, as if he had no intention of intervening in this matter.

Gu Xingnan stood up, walked to Mu Youyu's side, looked at Leng Yueyue, and said: "I've already said I don't like you; I will settle the engagement matter, and please don't pester me anymore from now on."

Leng Yueyue's eyes welled up; she bit her lip and loudly said: "So what! We have an engagement now! Feelings can still be cultivated after marriage!"

Yu Ci couldn't stand it any longer; he stood up, placed a hand on Gu Xingnan's shoulder, and said irritably: "Hey hey hey, our A Nan is only in first year of high school; if you don't study, don't disturb our excellent A Nan, okay?"

Besides, talking about after marriage is too early; what era is this now.

I scoff, does she even deserve it?

Leng Yueyue heard the words, glared fiercely at Yu Ci, and stomped her foot.

Afterwards, she turned her gaze back to Mu Youyu and said fearlessly: "Everyone in West City knows that I have an engagement with Brother Xingnan; no matter who you are."

As she spoke, her words paused, her voice turned harsh: "Also, please don't interfere between me and Brother Xingnan's feelings, and don't do those improper, shameless things!"

When she said the last sentence, Leng Yueyue especially emphasized the words "improper" and "shameless," her tone full of mockery.

Yu Ci looked at Leng Yueyue with a stunned expression:? Well, you're done, you'll have to fend for yourself.

"What did you say?"

Jiang Liangjin heard it, his originally lazy posture straightened.

He stood beside Mu Youyu, his deep eyes dimmed a few degrees, his whole body exuding a strong murderous aura, his voice icy and frightening.

Leng Yueyue was already afraid of him; being intimidated by his aura, she retreated a few steps.

How would Jiang Liangjin manage to intervene in this matter...

As for her and Gu Xingnan's affairs, Jiang Liangjin had only intervened once before.

That is, a few days ago he had Leng Family Head, that is her father, warn her not to harass Gu Xingnan...

She thought Jiang Liangjin wouldn't intervene this time.

"Jiang, Young Master Jiang." Leng Yueyue's voice trembled slightly, a stark contrast to her earlier overbearing demeanor.

She had seen Jiang Liangjin beat someone at school, during the first few days after the term started.

On campus, someone said something unknown that provoked Jiang Liangjin, who beat that person until his face was bloody and he begged for mercy...

At that time, no student or teacher dared to pull him away, not even the words spoken by Yu Ci and Gu Xingnan, who were close to him, were heeded.

In the end, it was still the rare one from Nan Feng High School, Xishao, who suddenly appeared and, without saying a word, punched Jiang Liangjin.

Jiang Liangjin stopped unexpectedly, glanced at Xishao, wasn't angry, but instead calmed down.

The two didn't end up fighting; Xishao also glanced at Jiang Liangjin, said nothing, and just left, while Jiang Liangjin didn't react much.

In the end, the person who was beaten was still taken away by ambulance.

Jiang Liangjin's fierce aura pressed Leng Yueyue against the wall, his dark eyes clearly showing anger: "Get lost!"

He didn't even bother to repeat a sentence for that little princess, yet she was still judged by others as needing to be put in her place.

Leng Yueyue didn't know what she was thinking; her eyelashes trembled slightly, she unconsciously lowered her head, tears sliding down her cheeks from fear: "I, I..."

"What I, I!" Liu Wanwan stood up, walked up to her, and lifted her chin.

She wore a full face of disdain, extended her right hand, and slapped Leng Yueyue hard across the face.

The crisp slap echoed throughout the lounge.

As the young miss of the Leng Family, she had never been hit before.

Leng Yueyue was completely dazed, lifting her head in disbelief, her tear-streaked face exposed to the air, and she even forgot to cry.

What are you, daring to hit me!" she said, her voice trembling with anger, completely lacking the stutter she had when facing Jiang Liangjin.

What are you again? I'm hitting you!" Liu Wanwan proudly lifted her chin slightly, stared straight at her, tone disdainful.

As for the young one who doesn't hit, she would reluctantly help to hit in their place.

However… she slowly turned her wrist, her hand hurt so much.

Leng Yueyue's eyes flashed with obvious resentment; she raised her hand high, wanting to counterattack.

But before the slap could land, Gu Xingnan firmly grabbed it.

Leng Yueyue struggled a few times unsuccessfully, her tear-blurred face looking at her with anger.

Gu Xingnan lifted her cold eyes, voice slightly angry: "Apologize, then get lost."

Yu Ci smirked, "They've even bullied Youbao's head—she's A Jin's sweetheart. Don't blame me for not giving the Leng Family face; I've tolerated you long enough!"

What sweetheart? Isn't it said that Young Master Jiang dislikes women?

Leng Yueyue was about to say something when she saw the murderous look in Jiang Liangjin's eyes beside Mu Youyu, and her heart sank.

She bit her lip, lowered her head, voice very soft: "Sorry."

Yu Ci's tone unusually carried a hint of mockery: "Your voice is so soft, who can hear it? tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk."

Hearing that, Liu Wanwan snorted coldly: "Oh, putting on that wronged look for whom to see? Don't go telling others we bullied you."

Hearing that, Leng Yueyue resolved, bent toward Mu Youyu, and shouted loudly: "Sorry!"

After she finished shouting, Gu Xingnan finally released her hand, stepping back a few steps in disgust.

Leng Yueyue unwillingly shouted at Mu Youyu and Liu Wanwan: "You two wait, I'll go tell my dad!"

She couldn't afford to provoke Jiang Liangjin and Yu Ci, couldn't reach Gu Xingnan, so she refused to believe she couldn't make those two unseen little girls look bad!

After saying those harsh words, Leng Yueyue dared not stay another second, covering her face, she stumbled out of the lounge door.

The person left, and it became quiet.
