384: I heard Brother Xiong's voice on the phone.

"From now on, I will make my own decisions; I don't need you to make them for me. Grandparents, Maternal Grandparents, I'm going upstairs first."

Xiao Niannian walked straight upstairs.

Hearing that Xiao Niannian wouldn't forgive them and said such things, it was truly too much.

Xiao Niannian was taking advantage of the elders' affection to deliberately bully them.

"Alright."

"Niannian, rest for a bit. Grandma will call you when it's time to eat," Grandma Gu said with a smile.

After Xiao Niannian returned to her room, she took a shower, changed her clothes, and then sat on the sofa, dozing off for a while.

An hour later, she heard footsteps outside the door.

"Little sister, it's time to eat."

Gu Yuan's voice rang out.

During dinner, the four people who had been causing trouble were extremely quiet. After dinner, Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Zhang, and Gu Ying all said their goodbyes and left.

Zhang Fu turned around and looked at Xiao Niannian in the living room; she saw Xiao Niannian staring at her.

She didn't know why, but she had a feeling, as if everything she was doing now was seen through by Xiao Niannian.

Impossible, no matter how smart Xiao Niannian was, she couldn't possibly see through her thoughts. It was even more impossible for her to know these things. It must be Xiao Niannian pretending, that Xiao Niannian was afraid they would expose her identity, so she decided to strike first... After these people left, Xiao Niannian looked at her Grandparents, Father, and Older Brothers, and she spoke.

"Grandparents, Father, First Older Brother, Second Older Brother, there's something I need to tell you."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, everyone looked at her.

"Precious, what is it?"

"Precious, did something happen?"

"Is it that Precious doesn't like them? I'll make sure they come less often in the future..."

"Little sister, what's wrong?"

Seeing her family's worried expressions, Xiao Niannian spoke.

"I mean, I'm going to Yangcheng in a few days; there are some things I need to handle..."

Xiao Niannian didn't directly say she was going to see Lu Jing and their naval training.

"Is it a new mission?"

Hearing this, Grandpa Gu looked at his Granddaughter and said.

"Why are they assigning you tasks again? You're a Military Academy student now..." Grandpa Gu was genuinely angry. Those previous missions, which could clearly have been assigned to others, were all given to his Granddaughter.

Such dangerous things, why would they still send his Granddaughter?

"Grandpa, don't be angry."

"Your Grandpa is right, Dad will call now and ask Captain Chen and them..."

Xiao Niannian quickly said.

"It's not a mission, it's about some training matters. I made some suggestions before, and now I'm going to observe the training situation..."

Hearing this, the anger in Grandpa Gu's heart subsided.

Father Gu's anger also subsided.

"So it's about this, can't it be delayed a few days?"

His daughter just returned, hadn't rested for a few days, then went to the Military Factory, and now she has to attend naval training.

"It's already confirmed."

Grandpa Gu spoke up.

"Since that's the case, then go. But when the New Year comes, you must stay at home for a few more days."

"Good child, your Grandparents are proud of you."

Grandpa Gu looked at his Granddaughter. Her excellence exceeded their expectations, and they believed that their Granddaughter would be even more outstanding in the future.

When she woke up in the morning, Xiao Niannian received a call from Ma Xue.

"Younger Female Cousin, do you want to go shopping? Many people want to see you..."

Hearing Ma Xue's words, Xiao Niannian was about to refuse.

But she heard a voice from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Xiong..."

Xiao Niannian wanted to listen again, but she didn't hear that voice.

"Where are you?"

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Ma Xue was happy.

"Are you coming over? We're at the coffee shop on East Street..."

"Okay, I'm coming."

Xiao Niannian finished speaking, hung up the phone, and then called Lu Jing.

"Hello."

On the other end of the phone was Lu Jing's voice.

"It's me."

Hearing Niannian's voice, Lu Jing said happily.

"Niannian, what's up?"

"Ma Xue called me just now, and someone on the other end mentioned Brother Xiong..."

Hearing this, the smile on Lu Jing's face changed, and he said in a serious tone.

"Niannian, I'm driving to pick you up now."

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian looked at her Grandparents and said.

"Grandparents, I'm going to see my Older Female Cousin and them. First Older Brother, Second Older Brother, you two come with me too."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan and Gu Jin immediately got up.

"You two change your clothes."

Xiao Niannian looked at her Older Brothers' military uniforms.

"Okay."

Gu Yuan and Gu Jin returned to their rooms, each changing into a shirt, and their pants were also changed to black ones.

Seeing their attire, Xiao Niannian smiled. Although her Older Brothers weren't wearing military uniforms, their demeanor was still that of a Soldier.

Xiao Niannian also changed into jeans and a white T-shirt.

Grandma Gu looked at her Grandchildren. The siblings looked very similar, and Grandma Gu smiled so widely her mouth couldn't close.

"You two must take good care of your little sister."

"Grandpa, don't worry, we will take good care of our little sister."

A car horn sounded outside the courtyard.

Xiao Niannian quickly walked out.

She walked into the courtyard and saw Lu Jing getting out of the car, wearing the exact same clothes as her.

Lu Jing saw Niannian walking out quickly, and seeing their matching couple's outfits, the corners of Lu Jing's mouth turned up.

Besides his military uniform, he only had two or three other sets of clothes in his wardrobe, also in black and white. He thought Niannian would probably like this kind of clothing, so he chose this set too.

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing. Although he had gotten a little tanned a few days ago, he still looked somewhat fair and glowing in the sunlight.

If he had been born twenty years later, Lu Jing would definitely have become a big star.

"Little sister."

Gu Yuan and Gu Jin saw their little sister and Lu Jing looking at each other, and the smile on Lu Jing's face made them feel a little annoyed. Why was he acting like a peacock displaying its feathers, hmph.

Lu Jing heard Gu Yuan and Gu Jin's cold snorts, and he greeted them.

"Niannian, Old Gu, Gu Er."

Gu Jin was even more displeased when he heard the term "Gu Er."

"Get in the car."

Xiao Niannian sat in the passenger seat and recounted receiving Ma Xue's call.

"When I received her call, I heard someone on the other end calling out Brother Xiong, and also mentioning some things..."

Lu Jing knew about Brother Xiong, and Gu Yuan and Gu Jin had also learned about Brother Xiong recently and were sending people to investigate him. This person dared to send people to harm their little sister; they would never let him go. And those people behind the scenes, they would definitely catch them too.

"Niannian, you go in first later, and your Older Brothers and I will keep an eye out from outside..."

Lu Jing began to make arrangements.

"Okay."

Gu Yuan and Gu Jin looked at Lu Jing when they heard his words, but did not object.

Soon, the car arrived at the coffee shop entrance.

After Xiao Niannian got out of the car, she heard many people talking inside the coffee shop.

Ma Xue and Qiao Zhu were talking.
