Chapter 39

Nan Feng, the school bully, rarely has anyone idle enough to want to offend him.

Besides, he has a very bad temper, he's a ruthless person; if someone clueless provokes him, he will show no mercy when he strikes.

This was also the first time they had seen him be that gentle to someone, and that someone was a girl.

Most of the girls couldn't help feeling sour.

Why aren't they the little sisters of Jingshao and Xishao? They could even be called 'baby'.

At this moment, the teacher walked into the classroom, saw Mu Youyu, and without saying anything, began the lesson with a natural expression.

Mu Youyu spent the whole first class looking at her phone; by the second class, she started to feel bored.

She put down her phone, lifted her gaze, and looked at Mu Xi, who was writing a test paper beside her.

Mu Xi noticed her gaze, put down his pen, and asked softly, 'Bored?'

Mu Youyu rested her forehead on the desk and nodded.

Mu Xi took out a practice workbook, 'For senior three, want to try?'

'Sure.'

Mu Youyu took it, flipped through it, then took a pen from him and began to write.

The Jiang family.

More than ten people stood around in the living room, unusually quiet, making the atmosphere solemn.

Only Jiang Liangjin sat leisurely leaning on the sofa, head lowered, staring at his phone, one hand tapping the screen.

After he finished breakfast this morning, his father Jiang Su told him to go out again at noon.

Although he was dissatisfied inside, he still obeyed the arrangement.

He couldn't even go to class to see Youbao.

He hadn't been in his room long when many people came to the house.

Out of family upbringing, he had no choice but to go downstairs and sit somewhere else.

Jiang Liangjin lazily lifted his gaze and met the eyes of his father Jiang Su directly opposite.

His indifferent gaze swept over, but someone's expression seemed not so good.

The two people standing to his left were his uncle Jiang Huan and aunt Cheng Siqing; their family was not exactly law-abiding.

Jiang Liangjin's father, namely the Jiang family head Jiang Su, as the most outstanding person selected by the previous generation of the Jiang family, naturally inherited the family.

As Jiang Su's only son, everything of the Jiang family would naturally belong to him in the future.

His uncle Jiang Huan harbors great ambition, having contested with Jiang Su since childhood, and still believes that everything of the Jiang family belongs to him.

Beside them, two people with stern faces were looking at the arrogant teenager, who was Jiang Huan's eldest son Jiang Yun, aged twenty.

Jiang Yun, like his father Jiang Huan, has always wanted to contend with him for the Jiang family inheritance, openly and covertly constantly scheming.

Jiang Liangjin's eyes flickered slightly; his dad isn't dead yet.

Moreover, even if he died, it wouldn't be their turn.

After all, he is the sole heir.

Their family also has a second son, Jiang Ji, who didn't come; he's probably out fooling around again.

... Oh, the Jiang Huan household also has a little daughter named Jiang Siqian.

She is the same age as him, but hardly makes any impression.

Jiang Liangjin dislikes Jiang Huan, and by extension dislikes everyone in that household.

The two people standing to his right are his third uncle Jiang Yuan and fourth uncle Jiang Qi.

These two uncles are twins, both fairly law-abiding, rarely cause trouble, and treat Jiang Liangjin fairly well, so he respects them.

The third uncle is unmarried, but he has adopted a boy whose health is poor, and who has been lying in a foreign hospital year-round.

Next to them are the two children of the fourth uncle: his eldest son Jiang Yining, and his daughter Jiang Yizhu wearing a princess dress.

They are dragon-and-phoenix twins, only thirteen years old this year; their mother died giving birth to them.

Jiang Liangjin feels indifferent toward both of them.

Jiang Liangjin continued to lower his head and look at his phone.

Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore.

"Jiang Liangjin, Ah Ji is still lying in the hospital! Do you still have the mind to play games here?" A furious shout broke the silence.

The speaker was the eldest son of Jiang Liangjin's great-uncle, Jiang Yun.

His 'Ah Ji' refers to Jiang Ji, the full name being Jiang Ji, the second son of Jiang Huan and the younger brother of Jiang Yun.

Upon hearing Jiang Yun's question, Jiang Liangjin finished typing the last character before slowly lifting his head, his dark eyes meeting Jiang Yun's gaze.

His face showed no ripple, even carrying an obvious indifference: 'I'm not a doctor; with Jiang Ji in the hospital, what can I do? You lot worry about Jiang Ji—go see him yourselves.'

Rather than gathering around his house.

"Jiang Liangjin!" Jiang Yun heard, his expression darkening as he shouted.

Jiang Liangjin spoke in a light tone: 'Besides, I'm not playing games.'

"You!" Jiang Yun spat, fixing Jiang Liangjin with an angry glare.

He clenched his teeth, his lips trembling slightly, the corners of his mouth turning down, evidently trying to suppress his inner fury.

Nevertheless, his dissatisfaction and hatred still showed in his eyes.

Last year he should have just killed him without regard for consequences!

Then everything of the Jiang family would henceforth be his.

"Ah Yun, enough." This voice was soft and gentle.

The speaker was Jiang Yun's... stepmother Cheng Siqing.

A woman with a dignified and beautiful appearance, gentle and lovely.

Jiang Yun heard the elder speak, and closed his mouth.

Silence stretched on.

Jiang Yizhu got tired from standing, and her posture began to slump.

She lifted her head to look at her brother Jiang Yining beside her, leaned close, and muttered, "Brother, when can we go back to sleep…"

"Standing is so tiring; even now she still doesn't know why her family came to the Jiang Family to gather."

She was woken up early in the morning and told she didn't have to go to school.

Jiang Yizhu was initially happy, but then she heard her father say that someone had a car accident at her uncle's place, and they were going to watch a play.

Jiang Yizhu thought it was Jiang Liangjin who had met with an accident, which explained the big fuss, and she was initially worried.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she saw that Jiang Huan's family, except for Jiang Ji who had arrived early, were all standing, while only Jiang Liangjin was sitting nicely on the sofa.

She then recalled her father's words about watching a play, realized it wasn't Liangjin who had an accident, and relaxed.

Jiang Yizhu had wanted to sit at first, but seeing her father and brother standing, she pouted slightly and had no choice but to stand as well.

After standing for a while, she noticed that besides Elder Brother Jiang Ji, Jiang Liangjin's mother—her second aunt—had not come, and everyone from the Jiang Family had arrived.

Jiang Yizhu lazily leaned against her brother, while her second aunt, annoyed by the Jiang Family's many affairs, went abroad for vacation.

Everyone else seemed fine, so it appeared that Jiang Ji had met with an accident; thinking this, Jiang Yizhu felt no turbulence in her heart.

Jiang Ji doesn't like playing with girls, idles away all day, and besides, they rarely see each other.

So she and Jiang Ji aren't close; they've only occasionally shared a meal at the same table.

Jiang Ji has a doctor looking after him; worrying here is pointless, and they'd be better off sleeping.

Jiang Yizhu gently tugged at her brother's clothes.

Brother Jiang Yining raised his hand and rubbed her head, signaling her to wait a moment.

Jiang Yizhu understood and nodded obediently.

Two minutes later.

Jiang Huan lowered his head to glance at his phone, exchanged a look with Jiang Yun, his eyes flickered, and said, "Ah Ji has awakened."

Jiang Su spoke up: "Alright, let's tidy up and go to the hospital to see Ah Ji."

The Jiang Family Head spoke, and only then did everyone calm down, getting into the car to go to the hospital.
