Jiang Lixuan was afraid that Feng Yuli would block him like Nan Yuanman did, so he didn't dare to say anything more and made his purpose clear in one sentence.
He swallowed hard, moistening his dry throat: "I know you've protected Yuanman very well, but my father... he'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Beijing is so big now, I can't find him. I... I hope you can give me a chance to protect Yuanman."
“As soon as I see my dad appear next to Yuanman, I will take him away immediately.”
Upon hearing Jiang Lixuan's voice, Feng Yuli's gentle expression vanished, replaced by a cold glint in his eyes. He chuckled softly and said sarcastically, "Don't try to portray yourself as so aggrieved and noble. It's always been your Jiang family who's causing trouble for Yuanman."
“If you really wanted to protect Yuanman, you should have stopped Jiang Tianzong as soon as he came to the capital, instead of pretending to inform us after he arrived.”
"Besides, you can stop him once this time, but can you stop him a second time?"
Jiang Lixuan blushed deeply, feeling as if he had been slapped across the face from afar, a burning pain and an indescribable embarrassment.
He opened his mouth, weakly explaining, "I didn't know at the time..."
"For the sake of the Jiang family, he erased the existence of Yuanman's mother and wanted to put Yuanman under your eldest brother's name. When she was his daughter who couldn't be seen in the light of day, you also said you didn't know and didn't stop it."
Feng Yuli's voice remained gentle, but his words made Jiang Lixuan feel deeply ashamed: "Now you say you don't know and didn't stop it, Jiang Lixuan, how can someone as useless as you protect Yuanman?"
“We’ve got Yuanman protected right now, so we don’t need you. Go back to where you came from and don’t disturb Yuanman’s hard-won peaceful life.”
After saying that, Feng Yuli didn't waste any more words with him and hung up the phone decisively. He then immediately informed Feng Congqian that Jiang Tianzong and Jiang Xinxin had come to Beijing.
The moment Feng Congqian received the news, he immediately arranged for people to secretly search for Jiang Tianzong and Jiang Xinxin in the capital.
Five days, no, four days later, will be the successful family reunion banquet. He doesn't want anything to go wrong at this banquet, nor will he allow anyone to disrupt it.
Jiang Lixuan stood at the airport exit, looking blankly and helplessly at the passersby. He suddenly couldn't understand how his relationship with Yuanman had deteriorated to this point...
-
Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye. After receiving the news that the family reunion banquet was about to begin, Feng Langqing, Feng Yuli and Feng Xingchi, who were working away from home, all put aside their work and rushed home.
Feng Zining and Feng Jingcheng had also left him a message in their small group chat with Feng Yanxiu long ago.
That evening, the two took turns calling Feng Yanxiu, repeatedly urging him to come back for the family reunion banquet.
Feng Yanxiu said helplessly, "Big brother, little brother, it's just a family reunion banquet for an illegitimate daughter. It's not an important banquet. It's okay if I don't go back, right?"
They keep urging me every day, it's like they're pressuring me to die.
"Also, how come I didn't know you two had become so close to Uncle? Have you forgotten what happened between Mom and Dad?"
Wearing a khaki overall uniform, tall and robust with handsome and rugged features, Feng Yanxiu sat in front of his laptop, scrutinizing his two older brothers who were video chatting with him.
He narrowed his eyes slightly: "You...were you bribed by your uncle?"
"No, Feng Yanxiu, what nonsense are you spouting? What illegitimate daughter! She's not an illegitimate daughter!" Feng Jingcheng said with a displeased look, "And what about bribery? Why are you talking so rudely?"
"There was a misunderstanding between my uncle and my parents back then!"
"What misunderstanding?" Feng Yanxiu asked in return.
"Anyway, you'll know when you get back. I can't explain it clearly in a video in a short time."
You can't exactly tell him that the misunderstanding between him and his uncle was resolved because his mother hadn't been reincarnated yet and was still living with them, can you?
He probably wouldn't have said it before Feng Yanxiu called the director of the mental hospital to come and take him to the hospital.
Feng Zining, who hadn't said much until now, slowly spoke up: "Second brother, there is indeed a misunderstanding between Mom and Dad and Uncle. Someone will explain the details to you when you come back."
“You’ve been away for quite a while now; it’s time to go home and pay respects to your parents.”
Feng Yanxiu remained silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally relented: "Okay, I'll take the earliest flight back tomorrow."
He wanted to see what kind of explanation he could give him.
Feng Zining's voice softened slightly as he chatted with him about recent events. Just before hanging up, he paused briefly before continuing, "By the way, Second Brother, Yuanman isn't an illegitimate daughter, she..."
"She's more special than any of us; she's our precious darling. Don't say anything careless in front of her in the future."
"Alright, I'm hanging up now. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, Feng Zining hung up the phone first. Feng Jingcheng rolled his eyes at Feng Yanxiu and gave him the middle finger. Before Feng Yanxiu could react, he immediately ended the video call.
Feng Yanxiu: "..."
Feng Yanxiu laughed angrily: "That brat, he's really despicable."
However, this illegitimate daughter is quite capable, managing to get her brothers to speak well of her one after another. She must be either a green tea bitch or a white lotus flower.
Perfect timing! He'll go back to offer incense to his parents this time, and while he's at it, he'll also expose her true colors.
Feng Yanxiu thought for a moment, then chuckled coldly. Just as he was about to finish up the last bit of work, there was a knock on the office door. A head wearing a yellow hard hat popped in, his tanned, simple face full of excitement: "Boss! We've dug up something good!"
He ran in excitedly, carrying something in his arms, and carefully placed it on the table: "Look!"
"What good stuff? Didn't I tell you to dig the foundation?"
Feng Yanxiu looked curiously at what he had placed there. What came into view was a stack of copper coins covered in dirt, with the two characters 'Tongbao' faintly engraved on them.
Feng Yanxiu stood up abruptly: "You've dug up a grave?"
"Isn't it normal to dig up a grave?" The worker scratched his head. "It's just that this grave is a little different from the previous ones. There are quite a few burial objects, so we divided them up according to the old rules... Of course, we kept the lion's share to hand over!"
Feng Yanxiu frowned slightly: "I'll go take a look."
The project Feng Yanxiu received this time was a new campus building in a small county town in City A.
The project has only just begun, and we're currently digging the foundation. Unexpectedly, before we've even dug much of the foundation, we've already unearthed the tomb.
Over the years, he has participated in many projects that have unearthed many tombs buried deep underground due to tectonic movements, but none of them had so many burial objects, so Feng Yanxiu instinctively sensed that something was amiss.
Perhaps they've unearthed the tomb of some great figure from ancient times.
When Feng Yanxiu walked out of the simple tin office, he saw the workers gathered together in the distance.
He walked over and saw a black coffin that had been opened in the large pit ahead.
Inside the black coffin was a female skeleton curled up, cradling a smaller skeleton in her arms. The smaller skeleton appeared to be wearing a longevity lock around its neck.
A worker wearing a red hard hat is standing on tiptoe, trying to pull the longevity lock off the little skeleton's neck.
Feng Yanxiu frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, and called out to him, "Li Dali!"
His shout startled Li Dali, who had been cautiously moving, and with a sudden burst of strength, he ripped off the longevity lock.
The little skeleton's neck snapped with a crack.
