Chapter 82: Princess Yan

Mu Xianyan walked over quickly, first glaring at Gesenlun with a disdainful tone: "Gesenlun, your fashion sense is still so ugly; this black dress with a gold bow tie looks like a walking chocolate cake."

Gesenlun: "……" He silently clenched his fists, but didn't dare to retort.

No matter what identity Miss Yan has, he can't afford to offend her.

Gesenlun comforted himself: "It's fine, it's fine; Miss Yan always speaks like this, only to people she knows well, and since he's acquainted with her, she talks to him this way."

He took a deep breath, put a smile back on his face, and said, "Good afternoon, Miss Yan."

Mu Xianyan pinched a silk handkerchief embroidered with silver thread between her fingers, impatiently waved her hand at Gesenlun, her tone carrying a bit of spoiled indulgence in driving him away: "Alright, alright, you have nothing to do here, go on, go on."

Only then did Gesenlun reluctantly lift his feet.

But inside he breathed a sigh of relief; Miss Yan had also saved him.

Otherwise, if Mu Xi had directly "invited" him back, he'd probably be laughed at by his colleagues for half a month!

Mu Xianyan smiled and said, "Mu Xi, Grandfather is looking for you; go ahead first!"

Logically, Mu Xianyan shouldn't call Duke Pei Weika her grandfather...

Because she is from the Mu family, while Mu Youyu's maternal grandmother's side is the Song family, and her grandfather is Duke Pei Weika.

As a member of the Mu family and the daughter of Mu Youyu's uncle, she actually has no relation to the Song family or the Pei Weika family.

She is merely someone who shares blood ties with Mu Youyu and them.

However, because Mu Xianyan was sent abroad to Y Guo by her father at age six, while Mu Youyu had to stay domestically at that time.

Mu Xin happened to be in Y Guo as well, so Duke Pei Weika allowed her to address him as grandfather, just like Mu Xin.

It wasn't a substitute for Mu Youyu; it was simply because of her father's reasons, and Duke Pei Weika wanted a well-behaved granddaughter for her...

Because this closeness was ultimately diluted, the duke treated her indifferently from the start, never showing the affection he had for Mu Youyu.

Mu Xianyan had no particular thoughts about it.

After all, the duke had no obligation to care for her, yet he still raised her, a person with no blood relation to him.

Fearful that she might be shy, they let her call him grandfather; regardless of the reason, she should be grateful.

Mu Xi stared at the girl before him for a few seconds.

Mu Xianyan is two years older than Youbao, but only a couple of months younger than Mu Xi, making her a younger sister among peers.

Although they don't interact much day-to-day, he knows that Mu Xianyan is also someone raised by the grandfather.

Those raised by the grandfather are of sound character; moreover, Mu Xianyan acts with propriety, which puts him more at ease.

Moreover, this is the Duke's Mansion, with eyes and ears everywhere; even on Youbao's side there are a few bodyguards in the shadows, so nothing could get out of hand.

Thinking this, Mu Xi nodded and said, "I'll go see grandfather first; you take good care of Youbao."

Then he turned to his younger sister and said, "Youbao, I'll go to grandfather's place first?"

Mu Youyu naturally wouldn't make things difficult for Mu Xi; she simply gave him a sweet smile and said, "Good!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several attendants led Mu Xi away.

Mu Xianyan gently took her hand and led her out, saying, "Youbao, long time no see, you're getting prettier and prettier!"

Mu Youyu was surprised; she and this older female cousin had never been close, yet she didn't expect the cousin to take the initiative to seek her out this time and even bring her out.

Letting Mu Xianyan lead her, she walked slowly down the corridor, speaking softly: "Older cousin, long time no see, you too."

Mu Xianyan brought her to the corridor and slowed her steps.

She turned her head, lowered her voice, urgent: "Did you change your bank card number?"

"No."

Mu Youyu froze for a moment, instinctively shook her head, quickly ran through her bank card numbers in her mind, and didn't recall changing any.

"Then why haven't I been able to deposit money into my account for the past month?" Mu Xianyan pressed urgently.

She had discovered last month that the money wouldn't go in.

She hadn't sent a message because she knew Mu Youyu would be coming here today, planning to save up together then give it to her.

"Ah?"

Mu Youyu thought about the question for a moment, then recalled her secondary card: "The one ending in 4444 was changed."

Mu Xianyan immediately stopped, pulled out her phone; when the screen lit up, one could see a silver cartoon violin on the lock screen wallpaper.

Her fingertips flew open the transfer interface, she looked up at Mu Youyu and said, "What's the card number now? Tell me."

Mu Youyu recited a string of numbers.

That was her secondary card, which didn't have much money.

Mu Xianyan's phone operation paused.

Mu Youyu glanced at her phone, and just then a message appeared: 【Account ending in 0415 received 5,000,000.00 RMB on June 12 at 12:26, balance 5,990,106.00 RMB.】

The secondary card's last digits were changed to her birthday.

She lifted her head and saw Mu Xianyan let out a long sigh of relief, the tight corners of her mouth turning into a smile that said, "Finally got the money transferred."

Mu Xianyan spoke affectionately: "Little sister, here's your pocket money; keep it!"

She loved nothing more than the violin.

This was part of her prize money from competitions over the past few months, invitations from people in various countries to perform on stage, and a few orchestras asking her to be a guest performer.

Mu Youyu smiled and said, "Thank you, older cousin!"

The older cousin had never given her such a lump sum before; previously, the older cousin gave her four million or less.

The older cousin, Mu Xianyan, studies the violin and enjoys sharing her daily life on various software.

In each posted video or photo, occasionally one could see the family's precious violin, rare vinyl records, or a rare artwork in the study.

Moreover, her abilities are sufficient, and someone has revealed the awards she has won since childhood.

Her unique "capable yet low-key aristocratic" style has attracted many fans, whose number has already surpassed one million.

However, because she previously took the online nickname "Princess Yan" on various platforms.

Now she changed back to her original name, but there are still many old fans who still call her "Princess Yan".

... Mu Xianyan, starting from when she was ten and had her first Art Competition, would transfer money to Mu Youyu.

She also never refused, after all, although the two are not blood-related, they are now relatives; truly pushing away would seem more distant.

Moreover, they rarely meet; before, when she came to Y Guo, Mu Xianyan was either not in Y Guo, or touring other countries.

Either she was playing, or she was busy with violin competition performances and such; she just had someone send her a small gift.

The number of times they meet can be counted on one's fingers, so Mu Youyu always says, "We're not really close with my cousin".

"I've said many times, you don't need to thank me; sister and I haven't seen each other in a long time, it's only natural!"

Mu Xianyan scolded her.

As for that, is it really so distant?

Although they don't see each other much, they do have a blood relation!

Even if they are not immediate family, in terms of seniority they are indeed cousins, truly genuine relatives.

No matter what the outside world says, that Mu Xianyan is not blood-related but adopted, she won't believe it.

After all, she is so good-looking; although it's said she doesn't resemble that brother of hers, her looks are also high.

From childhood to adulthood, she has also been praised a lot: "The siblings really look alike," "The little sister is really pretty," "Yan Yan is getting prettier and prettier," and so on.

... Getting back to the present, she earns money that she can't spend all of.

Her maternal grandfather will have people prepare clothing, accessories, necessities, etc., for her.

This younger sister also counts as having helped her.

So...

Spending money on the younger sister is justified and proper!
