Chapter 301

Jiang Liangjin appears. So include Jiang Liangjin.

Jiang Liangjin, Mu Youyu. Include both.

Jiang Liangjin? Actually line: "This is the principle he has known since he could remember, with no exceptions." No named entity.

"Anyone who threatens her becomes his target to eliminate." No named.

When he arrived at the door of Class A, the cool wind in the hallway blew past; his fingertips curled slightly, but the chill around him eased a bit.

Jiang Liangjin, Mu Youyu.

The girl held a pink stylus between her fingertips, doodling on the tablet.

After Friday classes ended, the classroom was nearly empty; she sat quietly, eyelashes lowered, her expression so focused it was unreal.

Jiang Liangjin, Mu Youyu.

Mu Youyu's pen paused, and without lifting her head she replied, "Not yet."

Under normal circumstances she has no habit of procrastination, especially when it comes to the art she loves.

She had already planned the schedule for this comic; each time, for the next month's issue, she could definitely finish it by the end of this month and release it at the start of the month.

Mu Youyu, Jiang Liangjin, and A Jin (a nickname for Jiang Liangjin) appear. Include A Jin.

No named.

Jiang Liangjin gave a low chuckle, leaned in close to her, and said, "My fault—shall I make it up with an extra hour?"

Jiang Liangjin.

Youbao appears. Include Youbao.

Seeing him so considerate, Mu Youyu put down the tablet and casually shoved her things into the drawer.

Mu Youyu, Jiang Liangjin, and Lu Yuchu (referred to as 'Yuchu older brother') appear. Include Lu Yuchu.

Jiang Liangjin agreed, and they walked out together; his gaze swept over the stairwell corner, making sure no idle people were around.

What just happened, he handled cleanly; it will definitely not reach her ears.

He didn't want these impurities to tarnish the little princess he held dear in his heart.

Lu Yuchu and Song Yan appear. Include both.

Song Yan had been blowing in the wind for five minutes; seeing the two, he immediately sat up straight, waved his hand, and said, "Hurry up and get in the car."

Lu Yuchu slowly lifted his head from the phone screen; his gaze first fell on his sister, then turned to Jiang Liangjin, pausing lightly on him.

To be frank, this morning he realized he was missing one thing: taking advantage of those four coming today to process their withdrawal, he sent someone to give them a beating.

Let them understand that those who shouldn't covet must not even speak of it.

Lu Yuchu had planted a mole in Class 12; having just received the news, he told him what had just happened in the class.

Jiang Liangjin, Mu Youyu.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuchu's gaze toward Jiang Liangjin finally gained a hint of undisguised satisfaction.

No named.

Jiang Liangjin naturally caught his gaze, but only returned a smile, saying, "Chu Ge, you've been waiting a while."

Lu Yuchu's expression didn't change: "It's fine."

Song Yan didn't know what secret talk they were having; he found it utterly baffling.

Mu Youyu called out sweetly, then took his hand and hurried to the back seat; she leaned her small frame into the soft seat, tilted her head back, and waved at him, "A Jin, come over quickly."

Jiang Liangjin, Mu Youyu.

Song Yan, Lu Yuchu.

The two in the back huddled together, whispering about who knows what; Mu Youyu's head was leaning against Jiang Liangjin's shoulder.

Song Yan in the front saw this in the rearview mirror, merely turning his head back in silence.

As long as this person treats Youbao sincerely, he can't be bothered to quarrel over those petty jealousies.

Jiang Family appears. Include Jiang Family.

Mu Xianyan and Mu Xianqi appear. Include both.

Mu Xianqi and Jiang Ye Ye appear. Include Jiang Ye Ye.

Butler and Miss Mu appear. Include Butler, Miss Mu.

Jiang Liangjin and Jiang Su appear. Include Jiang Su.

Jiang Liangjin, Jiang Ye Ye.

Even in the old family home, they continued to use the title "Young Master."

The rest of the people simply address each other by name plus 'young master'. No specific named entity.

No named.

Jiang Ye Ye heard the first address, instantly broke into a smile and rose to his feet, "Eh, Ah You also came?"

Mu Xianyan and Mu Xianqi heard their sister's name, simultaneously stood up and looked toward the door.

At a glance they saw Mu Youyu beside Jiang Liangjin.

The girl wore a haze-blue cotton-padded jacket, on her head a matching cat-ear hat, two fluffy cat ears standing atop her head.

A pair of white little leather shoes tapped on the ground as she pattered toward Jiang Ye Ye, "Jiang Ye Ye!"

That sight instantly made Mu Xianyan's and Mu Xianqi's hearts melt.

Jiang Ye Ye laughed, took her hand, drew her to his side, examined her up and down, his tone full of concern: "You've gotten a bit thin—aren't you eating properly at home?"

Mu Youyu's small face showed a hint of helplessness: "Jiang Ye Ye, you said the same thing when you saw me two days ago; I'm clearly not thin at all, and today I'm wearing even more than last time."

Saying that, she straightened her little frame, patted her jacket, indicating she truly hadn't lost any weight.

Jiang Liangjin stood silently behind her, seeing her adorable little appearance, his eyes full of indulgence.

Jiang Ye Ye was amused by her appearance and laughed, patting the back of her hand, going along with her words: "All right, all right, our Ah You isn't thin; I just misjudged—our Ah You is the most obedient, surely she's been eating well, right?"

Yes!

Song Yan looked around the courtyard, his gaze sweeping over everyone present—all were his own people.

There was no Lin family sister as Lin Ning had mentioned, nor any sign of Jiang Ji.

He had thought they were coming this afternoon to discuss Jiang Ji's engagement to the Lin sister, so he had asked Lu Yuchu and himself to come and show support.

It seems he was overthinking it.

Lu Yuchu gave a slight nod to Mu Xianqi and Mu Xianyan, then, when Jiang Ye Ye's gaze turned to him, he habitually smiled and said, "Jiang Ye Ye."

Jiang Ye Ye looked at him, eyes full of pity, and said, "Chu Chu, long time no see, you've grown taller again—is the conglomerate busy or not?"

In the Song family, the only ones he felt he owed were Song Huai's two sons.

Song Yusui, back then, quarreled with Song Huai over his mother's matter, but later still stuck to his own idea and went into business alone.

Lu Yuchu also ignored Song Huai's opposition and entered the entertainment circle.

Lu Yuchu saw his heartache, which mostly stemmed from his mother's early death.

"Not bad, not especially busy."

He felt a stir in his heart, yet said nothing more, only handing over the gift box in his hand: "Jiang Ye Ye, this is the supplement I and Yan Yan brought for you."

Song Yusui went to B Shi, and Jiang Ye Ye had him come over alone.

He previously said he was busy with Song Yan, so Jiang Ye Ye also let him bring Song Yan along.

Also didn't know what it was.

Song Yan also hurried over, hooking his other arm around Jiang Ye Ye's arm: "Jiang Ye Ye, I haven't seen you in a long time either, don't you miss me? I specially pushed back the filming schedule to come see you."

That was naturally a lie; he was just pulled by Lu Yuchu to make up the numbers.

Jiang Ye Ye was amused by Song Yan's words: "Good child, hurry inside, the wind is strong outside, don't get cold."

He then looked at Lu Yuchu, the pity in his eyes deepening: "Chu Chu, you all count as members of the Jiang Family; you don't need to bring these empty gifts, just your presence is enough."

Lu Yuchu: "Understood, Jiang Ye Ye."

Mu Xianqi stepped forward without changing expression, gently pulling Mu Youyu from beside Jiang Liangjin to his side.

He rubbed her cat-ear hat: "Youbao, the wind is strong here, go inside first."

"Okay." Mu Youyu obediently let him lead her, her other hand not forgetting to wave behind, signaling to follow.

Jiang Liangjin watched her, his smile deepening, and slowly followed behind the crowd.

His gaze never left her figure, taking in every frown and smile, storing them in his heart.

Entered the living room.

Mu Youyu was led to sit beside Jiang Ye Ye, and Jiang Liangjin quickly took the seat on her other side.

Mu Xianqi was half a step slower, so he could only sit next to Jiang Liangjin.

His gaze unconsciously swept over the two figures sitting side by side, and his guard rose again.

He constantly felt that this person was always getting close to his sister.

Mu Xianyan tapped his arm, signaling him to stay calm.

He said with a hint of envy: "You are her only sister, so of course you're not in a hurry."

Mu Xianyan lifted her chin: "Really sorry, I can't understand what it's like to be an older brother."

"……" Also a sister, not angry.

Lu Yuchu and Song Yan sat on the opposite sofa; Song Yan casually picked up the fruit platter on the table, selected a strawberry, and handed it to his sister.

Jiang Ye Ye said gently: "A You, are you hungry?"

"No, I only ate three hours ago." Mu Youyu replied with a smile.

On Friday afternoon there were only two classes, school let out at 3:30, and it's now just before 4:30, so she naturally wasn't in a hurry to eat.

"All right then." Jiang Ye Ye nodded, then looked at everyone, signaling the butler to bring tea and snacks.

Jiang Liangjin leaned over: "Want something to eat?"

"Strawberries." Mu Youyu didn't turn her head, but her fingertip lightly touched the back of his hand.

Like a silent greeting, Jiang Liangjin's fingertip twitched slightly, returning the touch.

He then smiled at Song Yan, who understood and simply pushed the fruit platter toward him, too lazy to meddle in their interaction.

Everyone in the hall saw that.

Mu Xianqi noticed that Song Yan……was a bit off.

Lu Yuchu also just stayed silent, with no intention to speak.

What's going on?

He gave a light "cough", about to say something.

But Mu Xianyan jabbed him with her elbow, signaling him not to put on a face in front of Jiang Ye Ye, which killed everyone's mood.

Mu Xianqi pressed his lips and ultimately let it go.

Jiang Ye Ye lifted the tea cup on the table, took a light sip, and glanced at his grandson from the corner of his eye without a trace.

He then lifted his chin toward Mu Xianqi's direction, using a look only the two could understand, giving Jiang Liangjin a hint.

The hint in his gaze could not be clearer—have him talk more with Mu Xianqi.

Jiang Liangjin instantly understood Jiang Ye Ye's meaning, the corner of his mouth curling into a faint smile: "Brother Xianqi, I heard you recently landed a tough tech project in M Guo, really impressive."

He looked just like seeing his own idol.

Lu Yuchu, Song Yan: "……"

Mu Xianqi immediately sat up straight, his face, which had sunk a little from the two's interaction, relaxing.

He lifted his chin, his tone carrying a bit of youthful arrogance: "Of course, isn't it much better than yours?"

After saying that, he only then realized the remark was inappropriate.

However, I didn't expect Jiang Liangjin to nod immediately, "Mu Xianqi older brother has always been outstanding; I have always admired you, and I also want to learn from you."

Mu Youyu found it strange; A Jin seemed to have also said that to the older brother last time, right?

No, not only that, there's also Future Path Xiao older brother.

Lu Yuchu understands; he admires all the CEO older brothers.

Mu Xianqi felt relieved; what about the Jiang family's sole heir?

It's not that he's infatuated with him.

Jiang Ye Ye was very pleased.

He had these few people come, mostly for Jiang Liangjin's matter.

We want the Mu Family older brothers to change their view of Jiang Liangjin, to dispel their usual guard.

He also really doesn't understand why these people are on guard against his grandson everywhere.

Then how will A Yu and his marriage be handled in the future!

The Jiang and Mu Families have been friends for a hundred years, but the Mu Family has only produced one little princess in this generation.

Jiang Ye Ye unconsciously glanced at Mu Xianyan.

The Mu Family also has a secret family rule: no adopting daughters, for fear that after the little princess gives birth, an adopted daughter would scheme and harm her.

But, this family rule only takes effect on the Family Head.

Mu Xianyan's father had long ago voluntarily relinquished the position of Family Head, so the Family Head ultimately fell onto Mu Youyu's father's shoulders.

Anyway, no matter what, the first family to marry into the Mu Family must be the Jiang Family!

Jiang Ye Ye's eyes flashed with a look of determined inevitability.

Other grandsons he can't count on; as long as A Jin makes an effort.

In the future, A Yu will call him "Grandpa" just like A Jin, instead of "Jiang Ye Ye"!

Jiang Liangjin and Mu Xianqi talked about the project; Mu Youyu found it boring and didn't want to interrupt them, so she looked at Mu Xianyan, "Older female cousin, are you busy lately?"

Mu Xianyan was already looking at her; hearing that, she immediately smiled, "Not busy, what's up?"

This isn't her concern either, and she doesn't know why Jiang Ye Ye called her here.

The younger sister finally spoke to her.

"Older female cousin, want to go see tomorrow's art exhibition with me? It's the illustration exhibition I've always wanted to go to." Mu Youyu asked with a smile, eyes full of anticipation.

Mu Xianyan naturally wouldn't refuse her; the two quickly settled on tomorrow's time and place, eagerly discussing the exhibition's works.

Jiang Ye Ye then looked at Lu Yuchu, "Chu Chu, if your company has anything the Jiang Family can help with, be sure to tell Jiang Ye Ye!"

Lu Yuchu agreed.

Jiang Ye Ye then turned his head, "Xiaoqi, if you need any Art Resources, just speak up!"

Mu Xianqi nodded, "Thank you, Jiang Ye Ye; if I need anything, I won't be polite."

Jiang Liangjin timely added: "I also have an acquaintance's technical team in M Guo; if Mu Xianqi older brother lacks manpower, I can mobilize them at any time."

Mu Xianqi's face didn't change, she spoke lightly: "Then I'll thank A Jin first."

He actually doesn't need any M Guo team; he is a noble personally ennobled by the M Guo princess.

When it comes to the connections he lacks the least, it's those from M Guo.

Jiang Ye Ye saw all this in his eyes, the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

His own grandson and A Yu are childhood sweethearts; A Yu has relied on him since childhood—this marriage, who could rival the Jiang family!

He only hopes that the marriage between the two families can be put on the agenda sooner, so he can soon fulfill this wish.
