When the audio was first played, neither the Jiang family nor any of the guests present reacted.
The audio continued playing: "After school, I'll help you lure Jiang Lixuan to a convenient place to strike, so you can do it without any pressure. But I have one condition: if a girl named Bai Wenying goes to save him, you have to cripple her hand too..."
Jiang Tianzong and Ge Peiyao on the stage realized something, and their expressions froze instantly. Ge Peiyao looked at Jiang Yueyao in shock, her face turning slightly pale.
What does this audio mean?
When Xiao Wu's tendons were severed, it was Yao Yao who hired someone to do it...?
Jiang Yueyao's smug smile froze, her head buzzed, her face turned deathly pale, and the wine glass in her hand slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces with a bang.
Jiang Yunjing was the first to come to her senses, her usual smile vanished, and she abruptly looked in Jiang Yueyao's direction.
Jiang Hengzhi was even more astonished.
Jiang Lixuan was dumbfounded. Wasn't this the audio from the USB drive he had obtained before? How could it suddenly be released?
As Nan Yuanman listened, his round face slowly turned serious.
Kang Jun-seung realized what was happening and immediately shouted to his assistant, "Quickly turn off the audio playing in the background!"
"Okay, okay." The assistant rushed backstage, but it was too late; the audio had already finished playing.
All the guests present turned their gazes to Jiang Yueyao and Jiang Lixuan, their eyes filled with mockery, disdain, contempt, and a deeper meaning.
The young people asked in curious whispers, "Who is Bai Wenying?"
“I know, she seems to be the Jiang family’s biological daughter. She was abducted when she was a child. When she was found, the Jiang family was quite happy for a while, but we don’t know where she went after that.”
"Tsk tsk, I never thought Jiang Yueyao, who looked so innocent and harmless, was actually a black-hearted white lotus! In order to frame Bai Wenying, she was so ruthless that she severed her own brother's tendons."
"I wonder what Jiang Lixuan is thinking now."
The ladies scoffed and whispered among themselves, "I had heard that Jiang Lixuan had gotten into trouble before, but I didn't expect that it was Jiang Yueyao who did it. Tsk tsk, the Jiang family has raised a thankless wretch."
“That’s right. I remember Jiang Yueyao isn’t the Jiang family’s biological daughter. It’s another girl named Bai Wenying who is…”
The young man who was originally standing next to Jiang Yueyao subconsciously moved a distance to the side.
The whispers and the meaningful glances from the guests were like sharp arrows, piercing Jiang Yueyao's body.
It felt as if she had been stripped naked and was being judged. Jiang Yueyao swayed precariously, her face deathly pale, and began to plead, "No...it wasn't me...I didn't..."
She trembled all over, terrified. Hadn't she asked Xinxin to play the AI-generated audio of Bai Wenying's chaotic "private life"? Why was this audio being played instead?
Jiang Yueyao suddenly realized something, looked up at Jiang Lixuan, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
It's him!
It's Jiang Lixuan!
Only Jiang Lixuan has evidence of her mistakes from back then! He must have arranged everything before Xinxin could.
He's... trying to destroy her!
Jiang Lixuan noticed Jiang Yueyao's gaze and stared directly at her without flinching.
Although he didn't know how the audio was released, he had to admit that when he heard it, he felt no more worry for Jiang Yueyao, but rather a sense of satisfaction at having avenged his great enemy.
That's how it should be; it's time to let everyone see her true colors.
The buzzing discussions in the banquet hall and the strange looks from the guests almost made Jiang Tianzong lose his composure. He tried to remain calm and said, "I'm sorry, that was an accident."
"The audio content concerns our Jiang family's private affairs. I will verify its authenticity after the family reunion banquet. Please refrain from discussing it."
Ge Peiyao tried to smile and speak, but it was as if a stone was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word. She could only smile and nod in agreement.
Jiang Lixuan's eyes dimmed, and his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists.
"Now we will continue with the family reunion banquet..." Jiang Tianzong wanted to skip the matter and continue with the banquet process.
No matter what happens today, nothing can stop him from recognizing Nan Yuanman as a member of the Jiang family!
Before he could finish speaking, Nan Yuanman, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Wait!"
Feng Yuli: "Wait!"
Two voices rang out at the same time. Nan Yuanman was slightly taken aback. She looked past the crowd toward Feng Yuli and her eyes lit up when she saw him: "Brother Feng!"
Brother Feng actually came too!
Feng Yuli smiled reassuringly at the little girl, but when he looked at Jiang Tianzong, the smile didn't reach his eyes: "This matter is not a private matter for the Jiang family; it is considered premeditated murder, and the police must be notified."
“Otherwise, it would be unfair to Young Master Jiang and Miss Bai Wenying mentioned in the audio.”
"Moreover, Miss Bai Wenying is Yuanman's biological mother, and today is Yuanman's family reunion banquet. Mr. Jiang, is it not appropriate to just let this go so easily?"
Jiang Tianzong was extremely wary of Jiang Lixuan and constantly pressured him to stop him from causing a scene at the family reunion banquet. However, he never expected that the Feng family from the capital would suddenly intervene, catching him completely off guard.
The guests were also surprised that Feng Yuli would suddenly reveal such a big secret. While wondering how he knew that Nan Yuanman was Bai Wenying's daughter, they were also secretly enjoying the gossip.
Dong Danqiu exclaimed in surprise: "What? Isn't Nan Yuanman Jiang Juncheng's daughter? How could she be Bai Wenyin's child...?"
Could it be...?
Kang Jun-seung and Baek Moon-eun...?!
Jiang Juncheng's face also froze. He clenched his fist on the armrest of his wheelchair and forced a smile at Feng Yuli: "Young Master Feng, you...you must have misunderstood? Yuanman...she's my daughter?"
Nanmanyuan: "???"
The little girl was stunned and bluntly retorted, "I'm not your daughter! Don't just claim to be your daughter!"
Jiang Juncheng felt a surge of resentment in his heart. Helplessly, he reached out to Nan Yuanman, wanting to cover her mouth, and said something that would be misunderstood: "Yuanman, I know you resent me for not finding you in time all these years, but you can't disown your father."
Nan Yuanman frowned deeply, took a step back, and dodged Jiang Juncheng's outstretched hand: "I told you not to claim children randomly. I have a mother. My mother is Bai Wenyin. She is your biological sister."
"Are you trying to take the child from your own sister?"
Jiang Tianzong stepped forward, reaching out to stop Nan Yuanman, his eyes warning her: "You child, how can you be so willful..."
Before his hand could even touch Nan Yuanman's shoulder, it was grabbed by a large hand that reached out from the side. Feng Langqing's voice, tinged with sarcasm, came through: "I say, your Jiang family is really something. You don't care that your adopted daughter framed your son, and now the eldest brother wants to steal his sister's biological child."
Feng Langqing looked down at Jiang Tianzong, his eyes icy cold: "Do you think the child is too young to be bullied?"
"You must have kidnapped or killed the child's mother before you dared to hold this banquet and lie in front of everyone!"
