The sudden appearance of the unfamiliar older brother startled Nan Yuanman for a moment, and she looked up at him blankly.
Feng Langqing winked at Nan and said with a smile, "Kid, don't be afraid, big brother will get back at you."
Nan Yuanman was stunned. Although she didn't know why this unfamiliar older brother would suddenly come up to help her, she still obediently thanked him: "Thank you."
Her obedient and adorable appearance struck Feng Langqing as if something had hit his heart, and his smile widened.
Jiang Tianzong's face darkened completely, and he said angrily, "How could our Jiang family do such a shameless thing! Young Master Feng, don't talk nonsense!"
"Moreover, this is a private matter for the Jiang family. How it should be handled is up to the Jiang family to decide. You have no right to interfere!"
"Oh, look at you, feeling guilty now? You don't even dare to say who the child's mother is." Feng Langqing scoffed, his expression mocking: "You say Nan Yuanman is Jiang Juncheng's child, then show us the paternity test!"
Jiang Tianzong's face darkened. How could he possibly produce that?!
Besides, wouldn't a paternity test reveal the truth?!
Nan Yuanman listened in a daze, but when she heard the words "paternity test," she tried to understand for a few seconds, and her eyes lit up.
She raised her hand: "A paternity test? I have one! I have proof that I was born to my mother!"
After saying that, the little girl took out a memorial tablet from her small handbag in full view of everyone.
Nan Yuanman held the memorial tablet up like the goddess of light raising a torch, trying to show it to the adults present: "Look! This is my mother's memorial tablet!"
The adults present subconsciously looked at her hand, and when Jiang Lixuan saw what she was holding, his mind went completely blank.
Ge Peiyao's pupils dilated, her legs went weak, and she swayed, almost collapsing to the ground.
Jiang Hengzhi was also stunned.
That's... Bai Wenying's memorial tablet...
She...is she really dead?
Seeing the little girl trying so hard to prove herself, Feng Langqing felt both sorry for her and amused.
How could a young girl carry a memorial tablet with her?!
Feng Langqing's throat tightened slightly as he carefully stuffed the memorial tablet back into Nan Yuanman's hand: "...How can you just take this out like that? You don't need to prove it yourself, we have evidence."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Feng Yuli. Feng Yuli took a deep breath, stepped forward slowly, and still wore a gentle and polite smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
He handed the documents to Jiang Tianzong, who was shocked by the information in Feng Langqing's words: "Mr. Jiang, take a look at this first, and then decide whether we have the right to interfere in a satisfactory matter."
Jiang Tianzong hesitated for a moment, then took the file bag, opened it, and took out the documents to read.
When he finally saw the information on the document, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at the bewildered Nan Yuanman in disbelief.
this……
How is that possible?!
How could Nan Yuanman be the child of the head of the Feng family?!
How did Bai Wenying manage to curry favor with the Feng family?!
"Well?" Feng Yuli's eyes turned slightly cold. "Do we have the right to interfere now?"
Jiang Tianzong held the thin sheet of paper in his hand, his heart heavy. He forced a smile: "This...is it a mistake? How could Yuanman be..."
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Yuli said in a good-natured tone, "If Mr. Jiang doesn't believe it, you can have another test done. Our Feng family will definitely cooperate."
Jiang Tianzong's heart sank even further. Since Feng Yuli had said that, it meant that he had already confirmed that Nan Yuanman was that person's daughter.
This is troublesome. If Yuanman can't be included in the Jiang family genealogy, then the Jiang family...
But breaking ties with the Feng family now is not a good idea...
Compared to the Feng family, the Jiang family is far too weak...
Jiang Tianzong's expression was uncertain. After weighing the situation for a moment, he forced a smile and his tone finally softened: "...This matter is too sudden. Gentlemen, how about we talk somewhere else?"
"I refuse." Feng Langqing sneered. He wasn't buying Jiang Tianzong's act, but he also didn't want Yuanman to be talked about.
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Yueyao, who was standing stiffly in the crowd with a pale face. He raised an eyebrow and said, "We can put Yuanman's matter aside for now, but... your Jiang family must give us a solution regarding her."
"Based on the audio, Yuanman's mother suffered a lot at her hands, and she is also suspected of hiring someone to commit murder..."
Feng Langqing raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Jiang, your Jiang family wouldn't tolerate a criminal, would they?"
Jiang Yueyao felt both panicked and ashamed. Her body trembled slightly, and she said with a hint of anger, "Second Young Master Feng, how can you convict me based on just an audio recording? Maybe someone used AI to synthesize the voice and frame me, deliberately trying to sow discord between my siblings and me?"
"Miss Jiang, don't worry. I've already sent someone to the back office to get the USB drive. Whether it's AI-generated or not, we can find out by checking," Feng Yuli said gently, adjusting his glasses.
Jiang Yueyao's heart skipped a beat, and she guiltily cast pleading glances at Jiang Tianzong and the rest of the Jiang family.
Jiang Juncheng instinctively wanted to defend Jiang Yueyao, but was stopped by Jiang Yunjing.
He glared angrily at Jiang Yunjing, who gently shook her head at him.
This concerns the Feng family, and it's not something they can interfere with.
Having lived a carefree life in S City for so many years, this was the first time Jiang Tianzong had been so relentlessly pressured. His face was quite grim, but he had no choice but to say, "...Of course, if the matter is true, our Jiang family will not tolerate any criminal."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueyao turned pale. She knew that Jiang Tianzong wanted to give up on her.
She said in a panic, "Dad, you can't do this, have you forgotten me...?"
Just as she was about to utter those words, Jiang Tianzong quickly gestured to the bodyguard: "Take Miss away and let her calm down."
The bodyguard stepped forward and covered Jiang Yueyao's mouth in time, then took her away.
Feng Langqing raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that the Jiang family had other secrets...
With all these events occurring, the family reunion banquet cannot proceed.
Jiang Tianzong could only leave his assistant to entertain the guests, while he led his family and Nan Yuanman back to the rooftop suite.
Meng Qinian sneaked up to Nan Yuanman, trying to push Feng Langqing away, but was instead elbowed by him.
Feng Langqing forcefully grabbed Nan Yuanman's hand and sneered, "Leave my sister..."
He glanced at Nan Yuanman subconsciously, and when he saw her bewildered expression, he pursed his lips and changed the subject: "Yuanman, stay away."
"Hiss! Stingy!" Meng Qinian rubbed his chest, winked at Nan Yuanman, and whispered, "Yuanman, don't be afraid, we'll protect you and won't let you be bullied!"
Nan Yuanman nodded obediently, her lips pressed tightly together as she looked at Feng Yuli walking ahead, and then at the file folder in Jiang Tianzong's hand.
She is young and doesn't know all the characters yet, but she is slowly realizing what's going on and understanding something from the conversation between Jiang Tianzong and Feng Yuli.
She simply didn't know how to react, so she remained silent.
After the group entered the suite, the rest of the Jiang family were still in a daze, still thinking about the memorial tablet for Bai Wenying that Nan Yuanman had just brought out.
Feng Yuli looked at Jiang Tianzong and said directly, "Mr. Jiang, we came here mainly to achieve a satisfactory conclusion."
"I'm going to take her back to the Feng family."
