Chapter 300: with translation of chapter title

"Grandpa Jiang even had Brother Yan and them go to the Jiang family old residence this afternoon." Mu Youyu added casually.

Song Yan heard that, fell silent for a few seconds, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be because of this? You had us four booked in advance to be his groomsmen?"

Lu Yuchu couldn't be bothered to react, "You're overthinking it."

Jiang Liangjin lightly tapped his cup, "Brother Yan, these things are still far off; they won't be decided so quickly."

Song Yan responded offhandedly, "Sounds just like when you got engaged to me."

Jiang Liangjin didn't respond.

The dishes just arrived; seeing the subtle atmosphere, Mu Youyu quickly said, "Let's eat first, I'm starving! We'll talk about later things later."

Lin Ning picked up his utensils, "Then I'll tell you later."

In the last class of the afternoon, Jiang Liangjin hadn't forgotten one thing.

He turned his head, voice gentle: "Youbao, I'm going out to handle something; I'll be back soon, wait for me here, okay?"

Mu Youyu looked up at him, without a hint of doubt, full of obedience, "Sure, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Except when she occasionally got curious, she never asked him what he was going to do; she simply trusted him unconditionally.

Jiang Liangjin ruffled the top of her head, "So obedient."

After saying that, he turned and left the classroom, the gentleness on his face vanishing instantly.

He took out his phone, dialed the bodyguard's number, voice icy: "Wait at the entrance of Class 12, Grade 10, bring a few people."

After hanging up, the pressure around him dropped to a frightening level; passing students instinctively stepped back, not daring to approach.

When Jiang Liangjin arrived at the entrance of Class 12, Grade 10, four black-clad bodyguards were already standing respectfully to the side.

A few students still tidying up in the classroom caught sight of Jiang Liangjin's group and immediately fell silent.

Their movements slowed by half a beat.

"It's Young Master Jiang; with this show of force, he's probably here to settle scores—who in our class provoked him?"

"What are they doing blocking the door? I'm going to be late for dance class!"

"Then go tell him."

"If I dared to go up, would I still be standing here?"

"Can't we just go out the back door?"

Someone cheered, "Yeah, our classroom's going to be torn down!"

"……"

Jiang Liangjin's gaze swept across the classroom, landing precisely on the four boys in the corner.

Those four were exactly the guys who, yesterday backstage, plotted to ruin Star Sink and embarrass Mu Youyu.

Having just returned from the hospital after being lectured by Song Yan, their arms still wrapped in light gauze, their faces bearing lingering bruises.

At that moment they were huddled together, whispering complaints, their faces full of resentment.

Seeing Jiang Liangjin enter, the four boys' faces instantly turned ashen.

The pain throughout their bodies seemed to magnify at that moment, and they instinctively wanted to shrink back.

"Come out." Jiang Liangjin's voice wasn't loud, but it exploded in the classroom.

The bodyguards stood at the door, not letting anyone in or out, apparently afraid they'd blab.

The Class 12 students, seeing it was those four, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, it's them—serves them right."

"Their families are completely ruined; how dare they still show up to school?"

"Exactly, I haven't forgotten how they badmouthed my male idol last time!"

"And they've been gossiping about my goddess too."

"……"

"\"Jiang, Young Master Jiang, do you have business with us? \" the leader forced himself to stay calm, but his voice trembled uncontrollably, fear in his eyes."

They knew Jiang Liangjin's methods; compared to Song Yan's directness, Jiang Liangjin's retaliation was even more chilling.

Their family's company went bankrupt because of this person!

Jiang Liangjin leaned against the hallway wall, his features delicate, his figure tall and slender, the black clothing accentuating his fair skin, yet his eyes held no warmth at all.

"\"Say again what you said backstage yesterday. \" His tone was flat, yet it made the four boys' hearts sink sharply.

The four exchanged glances, realized the situation, their faces grew even uglier, lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

They never expected that, after being caught by Song Yan, getting beaten, and having their family's flagship company driven to bankruptcy, Jiang Liangjin would still hold onto this matter.

"\"Can't say it? \" Jiang Liangjin gave a light chuckle, his laugh devoid of warmth, tinged with mockery, \"Or do you even know whether what you're saying is human speech? \""

"\"Young Master Jiang, we were wrong, we won't dare again! \" another boy hurriedly pleaded, his face full of ingratiation, \"You're magnanimous—please spare us this once; we truly know we were wrong! \""

"\"Wrong? \" Jiang Liangjin raised his brows, slowly straightened his body, and stepped toward them, the pressure around him growing lower, \"You could gossip about anyone, but you had to target my people. \""

The leader gritted his teeth, forced himself to speak: "\"Young Master Jiang, we were just momentarily muddle-headed, speaking offhandedly, with no other intent—please don't take it seriously……\""

"\"Offhandedly? \" Jiang Liangjin's eyes turned icy, he raised his hand and gestured."

The bodyguards behind him immediately stepped forward, and before the four could react, pressed them against the wall, movements swift and clean.

The four were already bruised all over; being pressed like this made them grit their teeth in pain, letting out suppressed cries.

Jiang Liangjin's gaze swept over the four boys' pained faces, without a hint of pity, "\"Earlier Brother Yan lectured you to make you know the rules. Now I come to make you remember: there are people and things you can't afford to mess with in a lifetime. \""

Just as Jiang Liangjin was about to speak, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, its exclusive ringtone shattering the hallway's chill.

He pulled out his phone, and the moment he saw the two characters "Youbao" on the screen, the frost in his eyes melted, replaced by an inseparable indulgence, even his brows softening with tenderness.

The others, looking at his expression, instantly guessed in zero seconds who was calling.

As expected, Jiang Liangjin lowered his voice to a whisper, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor: "\"Hey, Youbao. \""

"\"A Jin, Brother Yan and Brother Chu are here—where are you? \" Mu Youyu's sweet voice came through the earpiece."

"I'll be right there, wait two minutes." Jiang Liangjin lowered his eyes and smiled.

After hanging up, the gentleness on his face instantly withdrew, his gaze sweeping over the four stunned boys.

He lifted his hand, his tone even heavier than before: "No more talk, then let's fight."

The bodyguards flexed their wrists, stepping closer step by step.

The four were shaken by his sudden shift in Atmosphere, trembling all over; the leader forced himself to explain: "Young Master Jiang, we really know we were wrong! Miss Mu is so good, it's just that we were blinded by lard..."

Jiang Liangjin gave a light chuckle, his tone filled with utter disdain: "Whether she's good or not, you're not qualified to judge."

He paused, then spoke slowly, word by word: "She is my principle, and even more, my bottom line."

Seeing the bodyguards pin them down, they cried for mercy, the pain of their wounds far less than their current terror: "Young Master Jiang, spare us! We'll never dare again!"

Jiang Liangjin couldn't be bothered to look at them again, and coldly ordered the bodyguards: "Follow the rules, make them remember thoroughly who must not be touched."

Having said that, he turned and left, leaving only a chilling silence.

In the classroom, only the desperate wails of the four remained, along with the shock of the onlooking students.
