A hint of disappointment flashed across Nan Yuanman's small face: "You don't want to be called Gou Dan? Okay then... I'll think of another name for you."
Seeing the fleeting disappointment on the little girl's chubby face, the man felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He sighed helplessly and said gently, "If you like it, then call her that."
It's just an empty title; let the little girl call herself whatever she likes.
The little girl's disappointment vanished, and her chubby face brightened. She explained shyly, "Don't think this name is bad. When I was in the village, I often heard the grandpas and grandmas say that humble names are easier to raise children with."
"Your soul is in terrible condition. Give it a simple name to help nourish it."
The man, or rather, Gou Dan, nodded and said good-naturedly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After the human, the zombie, and the soul finished their whispered exchange, Yao Xianglu's voice came from the kitchen: "Little Master, dinner's ready!"
"They're here!"
Nan Yuanman took out Xiao Hong and put the old man, who was eager to run out to find food, and the newly acquired living soul Gou Dan into it: "You go into Xiao Hong's body for a while and let her help you clean the red lines on your body. Maybe after it's cleaned, you'll remember something!"
Dog Egg: "Okay."
Nan Yuanman closed the coffin lid and skipped off to find Yao Xianglu for dinner.
Yao Xianglu's cooking skills are quite good; she makes excellent home-style dishes. Nan Yuanman ate until her belly was round and full, and then she took a walk in the yard with Yao Xianglu, her little belly sticking out.
At this time, Wanhe Hospital in S City was in complete chaos.
Before Feng Yuli and Feng Langqing could even look at the paternity test results that Meng Qinian had brought, Feng Congqian, lying on the hospital bed, suddenly convulsed violently, and the instrument glowed red.
Feng Yuli immediately pressed the call button to summon doctors and nurses to come in and provide emergency care, and he also joined the rescue process.
Feng Langqing and Meng Qinian were kicked out of the ward and waited anxiously at the door.
Feng Langqing sat casually on the bench, took a few deep breaths, and stretched out his hand to Meng Qinian: "Let me see the information."
Meng Qinian said "oh" and obediently handed him the file folder.
Feng Langqing's well-defined fingers tore open the file folder, took out the information inside, and looked at it carefully. When he saw the parent-child relationship was 99.99%, he laughed out loud: "You actually... have a little sister."
His father is really... still going strong for his age.
He's in his early twenties, and now he suddenly has a five-year-old sister... It's quite a novel feeling.
Feng Langqing glanced at the still quiet ward, stood up and asked Meng Qinian, "Where is my sister now?"
Meng Qinian answered honestly, "At the Jiang family's house."
“Let’s go, come with me to pick up my sister,” Feng Langqing said. “Let her come to the hospital to see her father, so that she won’t not know what her biological father looks like when he kicks the bucket.”
Meng Qinian's forehead creased with three black lines: "..." Third cousin, does your uncle know you're cursing him like this?
However, he wholeheartedly supports Feng Langqing bringing Nan Yuanman back to the Feng family!
He'd disliked the Jiang family for a long time; they took the girl back but didn't treat her well! He didn't have the right to object before, but now he's Nan Yuanman's cousin! His own flesh and blood!
These people from the Jiang family, don't even think about bullying her again!
but……
Meng Qinian mustered his courage, raised his hand and grabbed his unruly and sharp-tongued third cousin: "It's too hasty to pick her up like this, third cousin. We haven't even bought the little girl anything she likes yet."
"Anyway, the paternity test results are in, and Yuanman is definitely my aunt's husband's daughter. Why don't we buy the little girl the things she likes, build her a nice house, and then bring her back?"
"Or...where would you keep her after you bring her back? In the hospital?"
Meng Qinian hesitated and said, "Let Yuanman stay with me, that's not impossible..."
Feng Langqing then remembered that they had come to S City in such a hurry that the properties here had not yet been professionally cleaned.
Feng Yuli is a rough man who would sleep anywhere, even under a bridge, if given a bed. Now that he has brought the little girl back, he really doesn't have a place to settle her.
Feng Langqing suppressed his thoughts: "Alright, I'll go pick a scenic spot and decorate it properly. As for staying at your place..."
He sneered, "Don't even think about it."
Meng Qinian: "..."
He has another cousin he dislikes.
-
The Jiang family.
As soon as Jiang Yunjing got home, Jiang Lixuan rushed downstairs and pulled him aside to ask in a low voice, "Fourth Brother, what did you mean by that phone call you made today? What do you mean by saying you saw Yuanman's paternity test with someone else?"
"Have you found your biological father?"
Before Jiang Yunjing could even take off her coat, Jiang Lixuan bombarded her with a barrage of questions.
His hand, which was on the button, paused slightly. He looked Jiang Lixuan up and down, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "I remember when Father asked you to go to the countryside to pick up Bai Wenying's daughter, you were quite resistant. Now you seem to care about her quite a bit..."
"What, you don't dislike Bai Wenying anymore?"
Jiang Lixuan stiffened slightly and awkwardly turned his head away: "...I don't hate it anymore."
Jiang Yunjing smiled and said, "It seems that a lot of interesting things have happened at home while I was away."
"Don't change the subject. Explain yourself. What was the meaning behind your phone call today?" Jiang Lixuan took a deep breath and asked.
"On the surface, I can't be sure if it's just a coincidence of names." Jiang Yunjing pulled his hand away and said slowly, "Didn't you complain before that Nan Yuanman was too much trouble to keep at home?"
"Now that she's found her biological father, can't we send her away? Isn't that a good thing for you?"
“No! She’s my own niece, and also my fourth brother’s. Her biological father has ignored her for so many years, what kind of good person could he be? It’s better for her to stay in the Jiang family for her future development!” Jiang Lixuan said in response.
Jiang Yunjing chuckled, ignoring his words, and looked around: "Where is my dear niece? Where is she? Let her come out and let me see her."
Jiang Lixuan murmured, looking somewhat dejected: "She's not here, she's out busy."
Jiang Yunjing: "?"
He couldn't help but pick at his ear: "What did you say? I didn't understand. She, a five-year-old brat, went out to do something? What could she possibly be doing?"
Don't kids this age usually play with Barbie dolls and play in the mud?
Jiang Lixuan mumbled, "You don't understand, but..."
He hesitated before speaking, "Fourth Brother, you saw about that paternity test today, could you please keep it from Father? I'm begging you."
Jiang Yunjing gave him a deep look and chuckled softly, "Don't worry, I didn't intend for that old man to know either."
After all, that old man wasn't exactly a saint either. He didn't believe that after coldly observing Nan Yuanman's five years of hard work in the countryside, he would suddenly bring her back without any other purpose.
He was also eager to see how the profit-driven old man would break down when his own goals were thwarted.
That would be very interesting.
Jiang Lixuan felt a slight sense of relief and forced a smile: "Thank you, Fourth Brother."
If... the person in that file doesn't have the same name, then this is all he can do for Yuanmu...
-
Nan Yuanman, who knew nothing of what was happening, slept soundly. The next morning, he got up and pulled Gou Dan out of the small coffin to check on his condition.
Dog Egg watched indulgently as the little girl's chubby little hands pinched and touched his soul, observing her silently. When he saw her eyebrows, he was momentarily dazed.
He felt... the little girl looked somewhat familiar.
I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.
Could it be... the child of someone he knew before he lost his memory?
