Chapter 1368 - Calling Her a Critter

They had not seen each other for years, after all, so Yun Jian accepted Mu Ying’s invitation immediately. She had also agreed when Mu Ying asked her to revisit the Amazon rainforest back when they were in the desert island.

They were talking about it as they walked to the school gate together.

“Yun Jian, let’s go back to Amazon tomorrow?” Mu Ying asked.

What they talked about had never been jokes. The conversation between Mu Ying and Yun Jian when they were in the desert island was normal but it was being treated as a joke by others. In spite of it, their conversation remained unchanged even when there was nobody around.

It was just that as they talked shoulder to shoulder, their schoolmates who passed by and heard them could not help turning to look at them as they wondered if these two beautiful girls were out of their mind.

Yun Jian and Mu Ying did not mind.

Yun Jian replied instantly, “The day after tomorrow. We’ll meet in Longmen City. I need to go home, haven’t been back for a month.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mu Ying nodded at what Yun Jian said. The latter had already called Qin Yirou to tell her that she would not go home tonight but tomorrow.

“Yingying!” Just when both of them left the school gate and were about to turn into a fork of the road, Leng Hanzhe’s shout came from behind them. Yun Jian and Mu Ying did not even have to turn around to be able to picture what he looked like currently.

“Why are you following me?” Mu Ying asked softly when Leng Hanzhe jogged up to her.

“I… I’m worried about you two, so I’m sending you home…” Leng Hanzhe made up something as he could not find any reason.

Yun Jian could recognize how fake the answer was but no one exposed him.

“Whatever,” Mu Ying commented softly before moving along with Yun Jian, silently allowing Leng Hanzhe to follow her.

Leng Hanzhe was actually rather delighted about it. His Yingying finally let him go after her and he was more than happy about it.

…

Mu Family, Mu Ying’s family, was different from other people as the clan lived together. Its residence was an extremely extravagant mansion. Up until now, Mu Ying’s grandparents were still the head of the family.

Mu Ying’s grandparents and uncles—any male relative who stayed together in the mansion and could be named, really—were all in the military with Mu Ying’s grandfather having the highest rank.

Truly, Mu Ying was a descendant of a military family.

Her grandparents had three sons and all three of them were in the military. Mu Ying was the daughter of the second son and she had a biological elder brother who was also in the military with a considerable rank.

As Mu Ying took Yun Jian home, Leng Hanzhe followed in as well.

Mu Ying’s aunt, who was the wife to her eldest uncle, was standing right in the center of the mansion. This aunt of hers, Yang, had always been hostile to Mu Ying.

When Yang saw Mu Ying bringing Yun Jian home and was going to lash out at her, she saw Leng Hanzhe.

Leng Hanzhe was the heir of Mu Family’s long-time family friend whose status was higher than Mu Family. Not only was the boy the descendant of a bureaucrat, he was a rich heir.

“Oh! Hanzhe, you’re here? Come, come, come in!” The moment Yang saw Leng Hanzhe, she dashed over.

“Rourou, come see who’s here. Your Hanzhe-gege is here. Hurry up and come down!” This was Yang’s ultimate goal as she yelled at whoever was upstairs.

A short moment later, Yang’s daughter, Mu Rou, ran downstairs.

Yun Jian and Mu Ying stood near Leng Hanzhe but Yang pulled her daughter, Mu Rou, over and knocked Mu Ying away with an icy glance at Yun Jian before she greeted Leng Hanzhe warmly.

When she turned to look at Yun Jian again, she told Mu Ying coldly, “Our house is not for critters to come anytime! Stay away! Keep your distance! What an eyesore!”
