Chapter 78: A Dozen or So

Mu Youyu had just wanted to speak with Song Huaixian when she saw he had received a call; he didn't press the screen, and the other end came with a clamorous voice: "Consort Huaixian! You actually secretly returned to the country?"

"You little darkie, you're blackening my information again."

Song Huaixian took the small cake from Jiang Liangjin's hand, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, otherwise retreat."

"... Consort Huaixian, you've returned just in time, come to my place quickly! There's a big matter!"

"What matter could delay me from accompanying my sister?"

Not knowing what the other side said, Song Huaixian's smile froze instantly.

He fell silent for a few seconds, gritted his teeth, then spoke again, his voice losing all warmth: "Your place, right? Wait, I'll be there in half an hour."

After hanging up, he looked at Mu Youyu opposite him; his previously cold expression instantly switched to a gentle smile.

He ruffled her hair, "Baby, Brother has an urgent matter to attend to temporarily… When you arrive in Y Guo, Brother will come find you again in a few days!"

Mu Youyu nodded obediently, "Okay, Brother Huaixian, goodbye, be careful on the road!"

Song Huaixian didn't forget Jiang Liangjin sitting beside him; he raised his hand and patted Jiang Liangjin's shoulder, "A Jin, goodbye!"

Jiang Liangjin showed no discomfort, his voice obedient: "Brother Xian, goodbye."

After saying that, Song Huaixian ran off.

Quite a few students looked toward Mu Youyu; seeing that the previously completely different-tempered "Song Huaiyu" had walked away, they couldn't help but speak up.

"What's wrong with Young Master Huaiyu?"

"I don't know, didn't you see we're that far away? How could we possibly hear?"

"Mu campus belle... this is a life winner, right? Young Master Huaiyu hugged her, and Young Master Jiang doesn't mind! Young Masters Xi, Jing, Yu, and Gu Xiao are also very special to her!"

"Interesting, a real-life version of 1vN?"

"……"

As the class A person who heard everything:!!

Jiang Liangjin expressionlessly handed Mu Youyu fruit.

"Little Yu, Senior Song……"

Bai Yun reacted, and under everyone's expectant gaze she suddenly realized, "I forgot he and Young Master Xi are cousins!"

"That also means he's related to Little Yu!"

Song Huaiyu kept a low profile at Lan Lin; after being admitted early to sophomore year, he never came to school.

She had only seen him on the campus network.

Unexpectedly, the person just now sounded like Song Huaiyu's twin younger brother!

Bai Yun turned her head curiously and asked, "Little Yu, how many older brothers do you have?"

The Mu and Song families are also too mysterious, right?

Although she is from a wealthy family in West City, C Shi, she also doesn't know how many people there are in the current generation of the Song and Mu families combined.

Because they are not often seen, she also thought there wasn't much socializing, so she hadn't paid attention.

Mu Youyu thought for a moment and replied, "A dozen or so?"

"! That many?"

During the few seconds of silence, the piano music in the banquet hall happened to reach its climax.

Bai Yun nearly spat out a mouthful of juice, "How many is a dozen or so?"

Mu Youyu calculated, "Adding cousins, it's… thirteen."

"Three biological brothers."

On her father's side there are two brothers; her paternal uncle adopted a boy and a girl, and her younger uncle had a pair of twins.

She has one female cousin and three male cousins.

On her mother's Song side there are four younger brothers, meaning she has four uncles.

The children of those four uncles add up to seven.

Because her mother was pregnant with her late, they are all older brothers.

However, among the cousins currently, only Song Huaiyu and Song Lujing study here in C Shi.

Most are developing elsewhere, have their own careers, or have gone abroad.

The few not in C Shi rarely meet.

They only keep in touch via phone.

?!

"How come your generation is all male?"

Mu Youyu bit into the cake Jiang Liangjin passed over, "I don't know either, maybe it's genetic?"

The only female cousin, who is also adopted, still lives abroad; she occasionally sends her gifts, and their chats are mostly that cousin's one-sided transfers of money, more or less.

Moreover, the female cousin rarely returns to the country; only when she occasionally goes to Y Guo to visit Mu Xin can they see each other, so they aren't very close.

Bai Yun felt envious; she just has a somewhat ill CEO older brother, and then a middle school sister who is not at all obedient.

!

The piano music on stage stopped, and someone spoke into the microphone: "Thank you for the lecture just now by Student Song Huaiyu……"

After speaking for a minute, he then said, "Next, please invite Leng Yueyue to do a self-criticism!"

The whole venue erupted.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Wasn't she absent from school after being knocked unconscious last time? And isn't she engaged to Gu Xiao?"

"It's all been resolved, your internet speed is terrible!"

"Wow wow, what crime did she commit? And still let the school publicly punish her in this setting!"

The student who had gone to the student council office last time spoke up: "You didn't see it! Last time, over in the office, she lost her mind and dared to confront Young Master Jiang, and even said Lan Lin wasn't something Young Master Jiang opened!"

After a few seconds of silence, someone started clapping.

"Wow, that's really brave, daring to pull a scam on Young Master Jiang?"

"Brave my ass, it's totally deserved, do you really think Young Master Jiang is a soft persimmon?"

"Now it's great, not only is the engagement gone, I'm afraid she might not even be able to keep her studies!"

……

Leng Yueyue wore a custom-made gown she had specially sought a stylist for, her hair was done very well, as if she wanted to retain the last shred of dignity.

She took a deep breath and walked onto the stage, where the audience below burst out with undisguised snickers.
