Yu Ci said, "It's fine," his expression returned to normal, and he grinned at Gu Xingnan, saying, "Xingnan, give me a smile."

But need to keep quotes. Use "It's fine." Expression returned to before, he grinned at Gu Xingnan, "A Nan, smile a bit."

"Ah Jin." Mu Youyu walked up to Jiang Liangjin's side, her eyes becoming pure again, she tugged at his sleeve, her voice soft and sweet.

"A Jin." Mu Youyu walked to Jiang Liangjin's side, her eyes becoming pure again, she tugged his sleeve, her voice soft and sweet.

Jiang Liangjin lowered his gaze to look at her, his expression softened, he gently pinched her cheek, and said in a gentle tone, "Next time you encounter something like this, just act directly—no need for words; if you can't win, I've got you."

Jiang Liangjin lowered his gaze to look at her, his expression softened, he gently pinched her cheek, his voice gentle: "Next time you encounter this, just act directly, no need for words; if you can't win, I'm here."

Mu Youyu obediently replied, "Okay."

Mu Youyu obediently replied: "Okay."

"Ah, too bad it wasn't recorded." Yu Ci looked regretful, "We should have recorded Cold Moon Yue's embarrassed moment just now and posted it on the campus forum; it would definitely go viral."

"Ah, what a pity it wasn't recorded." Yu Ci looked regretful, "We should have recorded Leng Yueyue's embarrassed moment and posted it on the campus forum; it would definitely go viral."

"Enough, be satisfied." Gu Xingnan lightly patted Yu Ci on the back of the head, "She's probably already gone to complain to her dad by now."

"Enough, be satisfied." Gu Xingnan lightly patted Yu Ci's head, "She probably went to complain to her dad by now."

For the next few days, I won't go back, to avoid having several people show up at my door.

For these few days, let's not go back, lest several people come looking for us.

"What's there to be afraid of. Ah, it's just that we've let Xingnan endure this for so long." Yu Ci sighed and continued, "If it weren't for Anzhi's sake, she'd think the Cold family could keep jumping around like this for much longer."

"What's there to fear. Ah, it's just that we let A Nan endure for so long." Yu Ci sighed and continued, "If it weren't for Anzhi's sake, she wouldn't think the Leng family could keep jumping around like that."

Note: The term means to jump around or be lively; we will translate it as "keep jumping around". Use "keep jumping around".

"Anzhi?"

"Anzhi?"

Mu Youyu heard the name Anzhi and suddenly froze; she hadn't heard that name in a long time.

Mu Youyu heard the name Anzhi and suddenly froze; she hadn't heard that name in a long time.

The second daughter of the Cold family, Cold Anzhi.

Leng Family's Second Miss, Leng Anzhi.

A friend of Mu Youyu's since first year of junior high, also a friend of Yu Ci and Gu Xingnan, and sometimes she gets quite close to Gu Xingnan.

A friend Mu Youyu met in first year of junior high, also a friend of Yu Ci and Gu Xingnan, sometimes she gets close to Gu Xingnan.

She is the Cold family head's most beloved and cherished daughter, a very well-behaved and quiet girl.

Later, in her second year of junior high, Cold Anzhi's poor health forced her parents to send her abroad.

After the middle school entrance exam, she came to City A, and she hadn't heard the name Cold Anzhi since.

After the middle school exam, she came to A City, and hadn't heard Leng Anzhi's name since.

"Speaking of Anzhi," Gu Xingnan turned his head, his gaze landing on Mu Youyu's face, his voice gentle, "She's supposed to return to the country in her second year of high school."

"Speaking of Anzhi," Gu Xingnan turned his head, his gaze landing on Mu Youyu's face, his voice gentle, "She's supposed to return to the country in her second year of high school."

"Oh, really." Mu Youyu nodded, "I haven't seen Anzhi in quite a while."

"Is that so." Mu Youyu nodded, "I still haven't seen Anzhi in a long time."

Yu Ci sighed, "If I may say, if the Cold family simply wants to tie themselves to the Gu family, they'd be better off letting Anzhi get engaged to Xingnan."

Yu Ci sighed, "If I may say, if the Leng family merely wants to tie relations with the Gu family, they'd be better off letting Anzhi and A Nan get engaged."

However, the Cold family head's beloved fourth daughter, Cold Moon Yue, likes Gu Xingnan.

But, the Leng Family Head dotes on the Fourth Miss, Leng Yueyue, who likes Gu Xingnan.

So in January, the Cold family head used his connections to learn that the Gu family head was abroad, staged an "accident", and reached out to "save" the Gu family head.

Thus, in January, the Leng Family Head used connections to learn that the Gu Family Head was abroad, set up an "accident," and reached out to "save" the Gu Family Head.

set up an "accident", and reached out to "save" the Gu Family Head.

It caused quite a stir, leading to Gu Xingnan and Cold Moon Yue becoming engaged.

It caused a big scene, leading to Gu Xingnan and Leng Yueyue getting engaged.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xingnan froze for a moment, a flicker of emotion crossing his eyes as he looked at Yu Ci.

Gu Xingnan heard this, suddenly startled, a flicker of emotion passed through his eyes as he looked at Yu Ci.

"Engaged to Cold Anzhi?"

Engaged to Leng Anzhi?

"Heh, his childhood sweetheart actually came up with that idea."

Heh, his little bamboo horse (childhood friend) actually came up with that.

Interpretation: "His little bamboo horse" is a metaphor for childhood sweetheart. We'll translate as "His little bamboo horse actually came up with that." Keep as is.

"Xingnan, does Anzhi know about your engagement?" Mu Youyu pondered for a moment and then asked.

"A Nan, does Anzhi know about your engagement?" Mu Youyu thought for a moment, then asked.

"She does." Gu Xingnan turned his head, his voice calm.

"She knows." Gu Xingnan turned his head, his voice calm.

Liu Wanyan was completely bewildered.

Liu Wanwan was completely bewildered.

"What is this? Where did another character come from?"

"What is this? How did another character pop up again?"

"What was her reaction then?" Mu Youyu asked, her eyes full of curiosity.

"What was her reaction then?" Mu Youyu's eyes filled with curiosity.

Jiang Liangjin had no interest in listening; his attention was solely on her.

Jiang Liangjin had no interest in listening; his attention was solely on her.

"She said, 'I believe you'll work it out.'" Gu Xingnan spoke in a flat tone, revealing little emotion.

"She said, she believes I'll resolve it well." Gu Xingnan's tone was flat, hard to discern much emotion.

This whole thing was essentially a scheme by the Cold family, since it involves Cold Anzhi.

This matter was originally the Leng family's scheme, because the Leng family involves Leng Anzhi.

Gu Xingnan and Yu Ci couldn't take action to suppress the Cold family, and neither did Jiang Liangjin; now it's been a month since Gu Xingnan and Cold Moon Yue got engaged.

Gu Xingnan and Yu Ci couldn't act to suppress the Leng family, and even Jiang Liangjin didn't act; now the time since Gu Xingnan and Leng Yueyue's engagement has reached one month.

Forget it; we'll wait until she returns to the country to figure out a solution.

Forget it, let's wait until she returns to the country to see how to resolve it.

「……」

"……"

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Yu Ci chuckled, then said, "Let's go eat; after we finish, I'll take Wanyan around the West City."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Yu Ci chuckled, then said, "Let's go eat! After we finish, I'll take Wanwan classmate for a stroll around West City just in time."

"Ah, he just stayed at school for half a day yesterday and then left, even though he had said he would attend classes all day."

"Ah, he just stayed half a day at school yesterday and then left, even though he had said he'd attend a full day of classes."

"However, he didn't show up at school until noon today, and after finishing his test he slipped out again; his dad will probably have something to say when he gets home."

"However, he only came to school at noon today, and after finishing the test he slipped out again; when he goes back, his dad might scold him again."

"Forget it; let's just say it—skipping class doesn't really affect him anyway."

"Forget it, let's just say it; skipping class doesn't really affect him."

"Also, I don't feel like repeating it."

"Also, I don't feel like repeating it."

"Everyone else had no objections, and they all left the school gate together."

"Everyone else had no objections, and they all left the school gate together."

"Upon arriving at the restaurant, the group found a window seat and sat down."

"Arriving at the restaurant, the group found a window-side seat and sat down."

"The waiter approached and immediately noticed Jiang Liangjin."

"The waiter approached and first saw Jiang Liangjin."

"His eyes lit up, he hurried over, wearing a fawning smile, and respectfully called out, 'Young Master Jiang.'"

"His eyes flashed with excitement, he hurried forward, face bearing a fawning smile, and respectfully shouted: 'Young Master Jiang!'"

"How come this Young Master Jiang is bringing two girls? Usually I only see him with Young Master Yu and Little Master Gu."

"How come this Young Master Jiang is bringing two girls? Usually I only see Young Master Jiang with Young Master Mu and Young Master Gu."

"But that's not something he should ask about."

"However, that's not something he should ask."

"Jiang Liangjin gave a soft 'hmm,' handed the menu to Mu Youyu, his voice carrying a restrained warmth: 'Youbao, take a look at what you'd like to eat.'"

"Jiang Liangjin gave a soft 'hmm,' passed the menu to Mu Youyu, his voice carrying a restrained warmth: 'Youbao, see what you'd like to eat.'"

"Mu Youyu finished ordering and passed the menu to Liu Wanyan."

"Mu Youyu finished ordering and gave the menu to Liu Wanwan."

"Before the dishes arrived, they began to chat casually."

"The dishes hadn't arrived yet, and several people began chatting."

"However, it was mostly Mu Youyu, Liu Wanyan, and Yu Ci doing the talking, with Gu Xingnan and Jiang Liangjin only occasionally interjecting."

"However, it was mostly Mu Youyu, Liu Wanwan, and Yu Ci speaking; Gu Xingnan and Jiang Liangjin only occasionally replied."

"Mu Youyu's phone vibrated lightly. She pulled it out and glanced at the screen—it was a message from her older brother, Mu Xi."

"Mu Youyu's phone lightly vibrated. She pulled it out and glanced; it was a message from her older brother Mu Xi."

"Older brother: 【Youbao, where are you? Brother's at the Lanlin gate now】"

"Older brother: 【Youbao, where are you? Brother's at the Lan Lin entrance】"

"Nanfeng's afternoon classes end at five o'clock sharp, ten minutes later than Lanlin; yesterday at this time, Mu Youyu was already at home with Mu Xi."

"Nan Feng's afternoon class ends at exactly five o'clock, ten minutes later than Lan Lin; yesterday at this time, Mu Youyu had already been home with Mu Xi."

"Mu Youyu typed back: 【Brother, I'm out eating with Ah Jin, Ah Ci, Ah Nan, and Wanyan and the others】"

"Mu Youyu typed back: 【Brother, I'm with A Jin, A Ci, A Nan, and Wanwan and them eating out】"

"On the other side, Mu Xi, standing at the Lanlin school gate, had heard her mention Wanyan before and knew she was her friend in City A."

"On the other side, Mu Xi, standing at the Lan Lin school gate, having heard her mention Wanwan, knows she is her friend in A City."

"However, upon seeing three familiar names, he felt a bit puzzled."

"However, he also saw the familiar three names and felt puzzled."

"Youbao, didn't you have a fight with Jiang Liangjin? It's been almost a year."

"Youbao hasn't she quarreled with Jiang Liangjin? It's almost been a year."

The last time she went to A City, that day...

Mu Xi didn't want to think too much, just tapped the screen to ask: 【Have you made up?】

Mu Youyu: 【Yeah】

She continued typing to add: 【Yeah, Second Older Brother, Wanwan is coming to stay at our home】

Second Older Brother: 【Good, I'll have Aunt Qing tidy up a room. Have fun outside, and if you need money, tell Brother】

Not long after receiving that message, Mu Youyu's phone vibrated once, and a notification popped up at the top.

"Your account ending in 8295 received RMB 2,000,000.00 on May 16 at 17:46, balance 91,087,010.00"

Mu Youyu knew it was pocket money transferred by Mu Xi.

She curled the corners of her mouth, sent an expression pack over, then typed: 【Brother is the best! He's the very best brother!】

Second Older Brother: 【Necessary】

Second Older Brother: 【Yeah, baby's out, so I won't go back tonight. When it's time to go home, call and have the driver uncle pick you up】

Mu Xi has often been out since middle school, sometimes busy with the Art Competition, sometimes just playing.

So Mu Youyu didn't ask further, just typed: 【I know, Brother】

Second Older Brother: 【When playing outside, pay attention to safety, don't run around randomly, follow Jiang Liangjin and them】

After Mu Youyu agreed, not long later the dishes were served.

She put away her phone, looked up, and noticed there was no scallion, garlic, or ginger in the dishes.

There were also no shelled foods.

So, she naturally picked up vegetables with a natural expression.

Occasionally, Jiang Liangjin helped her pick up vegetables, and Mu Youyu showed no discomfort at all.

Yu Ci and Gu Xingnan were obviously accustomed to it.

Everyone's eating manners were good, pleasant to look at.

Liu Wanwan saw and thought a few times: Envious, why does my childhood friend only hurt me?! ahhh
