Chapter 472

Mu Youyu gasped, "Thank you, big brother!"

Mu Xi lightly coughed beside him, Mu Nian turned his head to look at him and added, "You too, and A Jin as well."

Jiang's father and mother smiled so broadly they couldn't close their mouths, while the Mu and Song families were silent to the point of being unable to speak.

"Does he get a share too?" Jiang Liangjin nodded, "Thank you, big brother."

Song Lujing was the most excited, raising his hand and shouting, "Me too! Me too!!!"

Mu Nian feigned cluelessness, "Who are you?"

Song Lujing really wasn't sad at all.

Mu Nian's banner reading "One point, one million" attracted the surrounding students' parents to gather and watch.

"No way, one million? If I could get a point and have a hundred, I'd already be thanking heaven and earth."

"It seems like the first blow from June given to me."

"What young lady… the Mu family, I suddenly feel like something's missing."

"Isn't seven hundred points the same as seven billion? I could never spend it in several lifetimes!"

"It's not for you to spend, hurry into the exam hall; after finishing the first day you'll dream of this."

""

Most of the Mu and Song families' smiles froze for a beat.

Mu's elder uncle lowered his voice to the younger uncle beside him and said, "Wasn't it agreed we'd give it after the exam? How did he bring it out now?"

Mu's younger uncle shook his head, likewise keeping his voice low, and replied, "You're not unaware of him; since childhood, when has he ever followed the rules?"

Rules do indeed exist.

Ten days ago, Song's grandmother called a family meeting and specifically emphasized one point.

On the first day of the college entrance exam, when seeing them off, no one was allowed to pressure them in their presence, no special treatment was permitted, and everything would be arranged uniformly after the first exam ended.

At that time, Mu Nian sat on the sofa listening, neither nodding nor shaking his head, and everyone assumed he had acquiesced.

So what happened? He not only made special arrangements, but did so ostentatiously!

One point equals one million, the banner has been unfurled, for fear that others won't know Mu Nian is filthy rich!

Yan Yuejiu, who had shoulder-to-shoulder with Mu Nian in coming up with the idea, couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.

The second uncle's wife stood in the rear of the crowd, tugged at her second uncle's sleeve, and muttered quietly, "This kid, if I had known I would have brought my own banner too!"

What a pity.

The second uncle, looking at Mu Nian's back, wished he could say an hour ago, "There's nothing to be done; it's already on the road, and we can bring it over after Youbao finishes."

Mu's father and mother: "The kids are really close."

Jiang's father had no objections, even feeling a bit envious, "Young people have guts; unlike us back then, after the exam we at most got a company inheritance document."

Jiang's mother gave him a sideways glance, "Say two less sentences."

Jiang's father obediently shut his mouth.

The eldest aunt still clutched the unsent red scarf in her hand, her gaze sweeping over Mu Nian and several examinees before finally settling on Song's grandmother, "Mom, this…"

Song's grandmother waved her hand, "Let him go; after all, he's the one paying."

The implication is that whoever violates the rule pays the bill; the family fund won't be touched, the elders won't cover for him, Mu Nian pays out of his own pocket, and he can toss around as he pleases.

Eldest aunt: "She actually just wanted her to wear her own red scarf."

The fourth uncle, hearing this, twitched the corner of his mouth; indeed, Mu Nian lacks nothing else, his money is inexhaustible.

Several elders simultaneously recalled the family meeting ten years ago; Mu Nian was only so old, sitting beside the head of the long table, listening to the adults discuss family rules, his expression blank the whole time.

After the meeting dispersed, Mu's grandfather asked if he understood; he uttered a sentence that left a deep impression on everyone: "Rules are set for those who follow them."

Off-topic answer.

Back then everyone thought he was just speaking off the cuff, but looking back now, that was essentially his code of conduct.

Mu Xianqi muttered, "Then he isn't following the rules either."

Mu Yichi: "Better than you, who bullies kids and still claims to follow them."

Since that incident, Shang You sees his sister and avoids her, never even getting a chance to bring someone to meet her.

Mu Yichen stood beside his brother, glanced faintly at Mu Xianqi, and said, "Say less."

Song Yusui obviously also disliked Mu Nian breaking the rules, hurried over, and showed his strength, "Don't believe him, sis; one point equals two million, my family's Chu Chu offers double."

Lu Yuchu tacitly agreed.

Mu Youyu's eyes lit up again, "Really?"

"Of course!"

Song Lujing: "Me too! Me too!"

The money isn't coming out of Song Yusui's own pocket; he isn't the slightest bit reluctant: "Everyone gets a share!"

Song Yan followed up, his tone proud: "My brother can put up three times as much."

Who this brother refers to goes without saying.

Lu Yuchu: "... Can we not use his money to coax the little sister?"

"No, can't you stop auctioning outside the exam hall? Have you considered my feelings?" Yu Ci didn't know when he had appeared from the doorway, with Gu Xingnan behind him; both wore all-white outfits and held transparent document bags.

Jiang Liangjin: "No."

Mu Nian: "No."

Yu Ci choked, and Gu Xingnan, walking with him, whispered, "Let's go into the exam hall first."

The elders, fearing delay, finally remained silent.

Mu Youyu held back her laughter, waved her hand, "A Ci, A Nan, go for it!"

"Go for it!" the two replied in unison and hurried toward the exam entrance.

Mu Nian bent down and rubbed his sister's head, his tone softening: "Go on, don't be nervous, just perform normally."

Yan Yuejiu stepped forward, "Yeah, yeah, if you don't want to take the exam, just sleep; when the time's up, you'll come out."

Mu Youyu: "Got it, big brother and sister-in-law."

Mu Xin's blue eyes rested warmly on her, "Dear, don't put pressure on yourself; I'm waiting for you outside."

"Okay!"

"Others too."

Jiang Liangjin lowered his gaze to look at her, his fingertip touching the back of her hand, and whispered, "Let's go."

"Okay!" Mu Youyu clenched the lucky bag in her hand, facing the gazes of everyone, and walked toward the entrance of Lan Lin.

Jiang Liangjin realized he and she were not in the same exam hall, reluctantly let go of her hand, and followed behind Song Lujing.

Father Jiang waved at his son, "How you do on the exam doesn't matter; as long as you don't neglect the company from now on, that's fine."

"Fine."

Everyone stood where they were, watching until several people each entered the school gate, then they gradually looked away.

Grandma Song let out a breath of relief, patting her chest, "Finally they're in; may Youbao, Xiao Xi, and A Jin all pass smoothly."

Song LuXiao smiled and reminded, "There's still one more."

Seeing Song Lujing fully inside, Grandma Song spoke up: "This kid Xiao Jing plays games every day; just getting a single-digit score would be thank heavens!"

Compared like that, Mother Mu smiled, "Good thing my kids take after me; they're all fine."

Father Mu chimed in: "Exactly, exactly, exactly!"

Grandfather Mu chuckled warmly, "Indeed, our family's Youbao and Xiao Xi are so smart, there's definitely no problem."

Mother Jiang stood to the side, "A Jin has been steady since childhood; no need to worry."

Mu Nian said calmly, "They're all steady; no need to worry."

Yan Yuejiu laughed and linked arms with him, "Let's go, we'll wait at the nearby rest area; don't block the examinees here."
