Upon seeing Feng Langqing's impolite gesture, Jiang Juncheng's smile froze slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He asked in a low voice, "And who is this?"
Feng Langqing flicked his fingertips, took off his sunglasses from his nose, and said with a grin, "Feng Langqing, I've long admired the name of the president of Dongsheng Group. I've come here today to see who's so shameless as to dare to be their father."
Now it seems this person wasn't all that great.
Tall and thin, like a dried-up chicken, with a broken leg, he was much worse off than their father.
When Jiang Yunjing saw Meng Qinian standing behind Feng Yuli, she raised an eyebrow, as if realizing something, and, never one to miss a good show, asked, "Oh? Now that you've seen it, what do you think of my older brother?"
Feng Langqing shook his head: "Not so good."
Jiang Juncheng's smile completely vanished, and he changed the subject: "The three of you are here to attend the Jiang family's family reunion banquet, right? Come, please come in."
"Fourth brother," Jiang Juncheng said, "go and treat these two young masters of the Feng family well. Don't neglect them."
Jiang Yunjing smiled and said, "Yes, elder brother."
"The three of you, please follow me."
Feng Langqing glanced at Jiang Juncheng, snorted softly, and slowly followed behind Jiang Yunjing along with Feng Yuli and Meng Qinian.
Meng Qinian was carrying a bag containing paternity test results. He looked at Jiang Yunjing, who was leading the way, and the more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed.
Suddenly, the image of the white coat he had bumped into in the hospital corridor flashed through his mind, and his eyes widened instantly.
Isn't this the same white coat he bumped into on the street the day he went to deliver the paternity test results? Is he also a member of the Jiang family?
Wait, did the document fall out of the file folder? Did he see the information inside?
If he sees this, he won't stop them from recognizing their cousin, will he?
The more Meng Qinian thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He hugged his bag tightly and quietly moved away from Jiang Yunjing, planning to tell his two older cousins about it later.
"By the way, where is the little protagonist of the family reunion banquet? I don't see her." After entering the banquet hall, Feng Yuli looked around and, not seeing Nan Yuanman's short figure, asked gently.
"She's with my fifth brother, she should be here soon," Jiang Yunjing replied good-naturedly. "You can wait for her here."
Feng Yuli nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble."

At this moment, Nan Yuanman was coming downstairs with Jiang Lixuan. She was as curious as Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, looking around curiously.
Because today's theme is a family reunion banquet, and the main characters are children, the entire hotel corridor is decorated with balloons, making it especially fun and childlike.
The little girl had never seen anything like this before, and she watched intently, not even hearing what Jiang Lixuan was saying to her.
Jiang Lixuan held her hand and chattered all the way. When he looked down, he saw Nan Yuanman staring at a cartoon balloon not far away. He was instantly amused and annoyed. He reached out and gently pinched her chubby cheek: "Were you even listening to me?"
Nan Yuanman looked completely innocent: "Huh? Did you just say something?"
Jiang Lixuan sighed and repeated, "After the formalities are completed, your grandfather will ask you to go to the small banquet hall to entertain the children who are attending the banquet."
“Those children aren’t as smart as you. You can’t swear at them, you can’t hit them, you can’t hit them on the head with a coffin, and you can’t stick talismans on them, understand?”
"They are guests who have come to the family reunion banquet today. You are the host, so you should treat them well."
Nan Yuanman was initially quite calm, but after Jiang Lixuan's comment, she became a little nervous.
She patted her small chest loudly and said, "Don't worry, I've got your back!"
"Okay, I'll trust you this time." The moment Jiang Lixuan saw the contents of the invitation, he really wanted to take Nan Yuanman away, but he knew he couldn't.
Not only is he currently unable to contend with Jiang Tianzong, but also... he wants Nan Yuanman to completely return to the Jiang family and become a member of the Jiang family.
Life in the countryside is certainly free, but after returning to the Jiang family, life will be much better, at least there will be no worries about food and clothing.
He took a deep breath, looked at the short, chubby girl beside him, and hesitated, wanting to tell her about the invitation, but unable to bring himself to say it.
After all, this matter is really... too shameless and has no bottom line.
If the little girl knew, she would definitely not continue to participate in this family reunion banquet.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Jiang Lixuan chose to remain silent. In any case, the five-year-old little dumpling doesn't know how to read very well yet, as long as she can recognize the Jiang family again, that's fine.
He will do his best to protect her.
The guests in the banquet hall downstairs had mostly arrived, and many were whispering among themselves: "Didn't they say Kang Jun-seung was against marriage? How come there's suddenly a child?"
"Not getting married doesn't mean not having children. Aren't there enough deaths caused by men in this industry?"
"Hey! Look, those two people look so familiar, they seem to be... from the Feng family of the capital!"
The guests all looked at Feng Yuli and Feng Langqing, who were sitting on the sofa in the corner, and their faces showed surprise: "They really are members of the Feng family."
"When did the Jiang family get in touch with the Feng family in the capital?"
"I heard that the Jiang family recently reached a small cooperation agreement with the Feng family, but... does the Feng family really give the Jiang family that much face? It's just a small family reunion banquet, and they actually accepted the invitation."
"It seems the Jiang family is poised to rise to even greater heights this time!"
While marveling at the sight, some of the bolder guests had already stepped forward to try and get closer to Feng Yuli and his companion.
Jiang Tianzong also received news that the two young masters of the Feng family had come to attend the family reunion banquet. He was delighted and exclaimed, "Master was right. Yuanman is truly a blessing to the Jiang family."
He just had a whim and held a small family reunion banquet, and people who couldn't get close to him before actually came on their own initiative.
How could this not make him happy?
To achieve a satisfactory outcome, we must reclaim the Jiang family!
Jiang Tianzong instructed his assistant: "Make sure to treat the two guests from the Feng family well, and don't neglect the one from the Meng family either. We must not be rude to them."
Assistant: "Yes, Chairman."
He straightened his clothes, called Ge Peiyao, and went downstairs together to prepare for the family reunion banquet.
Inside the banquet hall.
Jiang Yueyao was enjoying the adulation and compliments from her girlfriends.
"Yaoyao, your Jiang family is really going to soar to new heights this time! Guess who I just saw? The two young masters of the Feng family!" A woman in a red dress exclaimed excitedly, "It's the Feng family from the capital!"
"I never expected that they would actually give you face by attending this family reunion banquet!"
Jiang Yueyao's smile faltered slightly, and she asked in surprise, "Young Master Feng? Danqiu, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
How could the two young masters of the Feng family in the capital possibly come?
Dong Danqiu was a little unhappy about being questioned, but she didn't dare to be cold to her. She secretly pointed to the western corner and said, "Look, the person is right there! How could I be wrong!"
Jiang Yueyao looked in the direction she pointed and indeed saw three imposing young men sitting in the corner.
Her heart sank. The arrival of the two young masters of the Feng family had disrupted her plans. If she were to release the contents of that USB drive at the family reunion banquet, the damage to Bai Wenying's reputation would be a minor matter, but the loss of face for the Jiang family would be a major one...
However, if she didn't let go, she would miss a chance to completely crush Nan Yuanman's status in the Jiang family.
Moreover... if those two young masters of the Feng family were to see Bai Wenying's chaotic "private life" and witness the birth of Nan Yuanman's "bastard child," they would have absolutely no chance to get close to Nan Yuanman.
By then, Xinxin might be able to use this opportunity to get closer to the two young masters of the Feng family.
She had heard that the Feng family had three younger sons, and her Xinxin was so well-behaved and cute that she was sure she could win their favor.
She can also gain more say in the Jiang family by virtue of Xinxin's influence!
The more Jiang Yueyao thought about it, the more she felt that it wasn't such a bad thing for the two young masters of the Feng family to see the contents of the USB drive, so she didn't stop Jiang Xinxin.
-
Just as Feng Langqing was getting increasingly annoyed dealing with the ingratiating guests, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed.
Several beams of light shone on the magnificent stage that had been erected. Jiang Tianzong and Ge Peiyao walked onto the stage hand in hand and gave a touching speech.
Jiang Lixuan brought Nan Yuanman to Jiang Juncheng's side, and with a dark face, he put her hand in his: "Hold her hand tightly, the light is dim, don't let her fall."
Nam Yoon-won suddenly met Kang Joon-seung's gaze. She glanced quickly at his leg in a cast and disdainfully pulled her hand away, saying, "I can walk by myself."
“My grandpa said that stupidity is contagious, and he won’t let me hold hands with a stupid person.”
Jiang Juncheng was so angry he laughed, and said coldly, "I don't want to hold your hand either, I find it dirty."
Nan Yuanman angrily stretched out her chubby little hand: "Where is it dirty! My hands are very clean! Yours are dirty! Dirty and smelly! Humph!"
Jiang Lixuan: "..."
Hearing the commotion, Jiang Hengzhi came over to check. Seeing the little girl's angry expression, he couldn't help but laugh: "Oh dear, big brother, what did you do to provoke her?"
Jiang Juncheng pursed his lips, not wanting to speak.
But at that moment, Jiang Tianzong on the stage called out to him and Nan Yuanman.
He had to force a smile as Jiang Hengzhi pushed the wheelchair and Jiang Lixuan led Nan Yuanman onto the stage.
Feng Yuli and the other two kept their eyes fixed on the stage.
When Meng Qinian saw the adorable and delicate little dumpling appear on stage, wearing a beige princess dress and with her hair styled in cat ear shapes, he couldn't help but cover his chest and exclaim, "Holy crap, so cute!"
Five-year-old children naturally have chubby cheeks, and Nan Yuanman is also very pretty. With a little dressing up, she looks like a little elf, making people want to hug her and rub her cheeks.
Feng Langqing's eyes lit up instantly: "This is my own sister?"
"Big brother! Don't wait any longer, let's go!"
He couldn't wait to bring his younger sister home!
Feng Yuli nodded slightly and was about to get up and go on stage to stop the Jiang family's absurd family reunion banquet when Jiang Tianzong said, "It's not easy for Yuanman to grow up like this. I have carefully kept all the photos of her from childhood to adulthood."
As he spoke, he gestured to the people behind the stage to start displaying Nan Yuanman's "photos".
Jiang Yueyao stood below the stage, looking at the screen on the stage, a pleased smile on her lips.
The next second, a few static-like flashes appeared on the screen, and a voice that was all too familiar to the Jiang family came through: "...I know you've disliked Jiang Lixuan for a long time. I'll give you 100,000 yuan to help me put on a show..."
