Upon hearing this long-unheard name, Jiang Juncheng paused for a moment before remembering that his father had indeed mentioned this to him before.
He was just too busy at the time, and besides, Bai Wenying wasn't on good terms with him, so he quickly forgot about her.
He never expected that the child raised by Bai Wenying would be so unruly, bullying Xinxin as soon as he returned to the Jiang family.
Jiang Juncheng frowned, his expression extremely displeased: "Where is Bai Wenyin? Give me her contact information, I want to ask her how she teaches children."
"After all these years, not only have I remained unchanged in my ways, but my daughter has also been raised to be this way."
The assistant gave an awkward smile: "Miss Bai Wenying...did not return to the Jiang family."
Kang Jun-seung: "?"
"If she didn't go back to the Jiang family, where did she go?" Jiang Juncheng's dislike for Bai Wenying grew even stronger: "Could it be that she abandoned her daughter alone?"
The assistant shook his head: "I don't know about that. You'll have to ask Fifth Young Master yourself."
Jiang Juncheng's eyes turned slightly cold as he said indifferently, "Arrange a flight for tomorrow noon. After discussing the cooperation with the Feng family, we'll go back."
He wanted to see where Bai Wenying's child got the nerve to bully Xinxin.
Assistant: "Yes."

Nan Yuanman went out all day today, exorcising ghosts and encountering demons, and is now completely exhausted.
After going upstairs, she prepared a bath for herself following the steps taught by Butler Li. Jiang Lixuan was worried about her and kept asking, "Are you alright by yourself? Should I call a maid to come up and help you?"
"No need, I could take a bath by myself when I was three years old, I don't need anyone's help." Nan Yuanman pushed Jiang Lixuan out of the bathroom and hurriedly took a bath herself.
Jiang Lixuan didn't leave; he stood outside the bathroom waiting for her. Half an hour later, Nan Yuanman came out wearing clean and comfortable clothes.
The clean-up little kitten looked like a soft, fluffy ball of milk, wearing a lemon-yellow Pikachu pajama. Its little face was rosy, and its hair was wet and disheveled. It looked like a little kitten that had fallen into the water, both pitiful and adorable.
Jiang Lixuan's heart softened. He took a clean towel and dried her hair, then carried her to sit on the single sofa: "Let me blow-dry your hair."
Nan Yuanman tilted her little head back and let him comb her hair.
The cub's fur was exceptionally soft, smooth to the touch like milk. Jiang Lixuan was afraid that he would break her hair if he used too much force, so he was extra careful in his clumsy movements.
After he dried Nan Yuanman's hair, he was also covered in sweat. Just as he was about to talk to her, he found that the little one had fallen asleep with her head tilted back.
Jiang Lixuan's eyes softened, and he carefully picked her up and placed her on the bed.
The moment he hugged her, her body felt incredibly light, leaving Jiang Lixuan with a bittersweet and complex mix of emotions, along with a touch of regret.
Although Mingyuan is a year older than Xinxin, she doesn't weigh as much as Xinxin...
He was indeed not a good uncle. Nan Yuanman had been at the Jiang family's house for several days before he discovered that she was malnourished.
After placing her on the bed, Jiang Lixuan sat on the edge of it, looked at her for a while, and then picked up his phone to start searching—
#What to do if your child is malnourished?#
#How to fatten up a child#
#What should I pay attention to when raising a little girl...#
It wasn't until the third day after Nan Yuanman returned to the Jiang family that Jiang Lixuan finally took her to heart.
While Nan Yuanman was fast asleep, Meng Qinian was being unilaterally "interrogated" by Feng Yuli in the hospital.
Feng Yuli: "What are the child's parents' names? How did you meet her?"
Meng Qinian listened, then looked at him strangely: "Cousin, why are you asking so many details? Are you checking my household registration?"
Feng Yuli smiled gently and said, "Answer my question, or I'll have my mother come and ask her herself."
Meng Qinian: "..."
He didn't intend to hide it from Feng Yuli; with the Feng family's methods, finding out the truth would be a piece of cake.
He honestly recounted how he met Nan Yuanman and the recent events that had happened in the Meng family. At the end, he frowned and said, "Yuanman's biological mother seems to be Bai Wenying, the daughter of the Jiang family who was abducted before. As for her father..."
"She said she didn't know. I guess she either died like her mother, or..."
He abandoned his wife and children and ran away.
Feng Yuli listened quietly, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised. He looked at Meng Qinian and suddenly asked, "Don't you think Nan Yuanman looks a lot like someone?"
Meng Qinian asked instinctively, "Who?"
Feng Yuli: "Feng Congqian".
Meng Qinian was stunned for a moment before realizing who Feng Congqian was. He then chuckled dryly, "Big cousin, what are you joking about? How could that be? The age difference between you and Yuanman is too great."
"Besides, Bai Wenying was only eighteen or twenty years old five years ago, right? How old was my uncle back then? How could she possibly be interested in an old man like him? Moreover, my uncle and Bai Wenying have different social circles, so she has no way to get close to him..."
Feng Yuli stared quietly at Meng Qinian. After laughing a few times, Meng Qinian couldn't laugh anymore and stared at him with wide eyes: "Big cousin, you're not serious, are you?"
Feng Yuli chuckled and told a lame joke: "No, I'm just faking it."
He spoke slowly, "Meng Qinian, have you forgotten that I am not my parents' biological child?"
The Feng family now has a total of six children. The eldest, second, and third children were war orphans adopted by Madam Feng when she traveled abroad in her youth and happened to enter the battlefield.
The other three children... as far as he knew, were not his father's biological children either.
When Feng Congqian was not in a coma, all he loved was the Feng family business. He spent every day at the company, sending money home. He had no interest in having children of his own, and the children were all taken care of by Madam Meng Qingwan.
Meng Qingwan was even more unconventional. She had a passionate relationship in her early years, but for some reason, that relationship broke down, and she suddenly married Feng Congqian.
After that, she had no desires or wants. Feng Congqian didn't want to have children, and she wasn't interested either. The two of them lived their lives in a cold and indifferent manner, treating each other with the respect due to guests.
Even after Feng Congqian fell into a coma, her life continued as usual. Apart from visiting him every month, she spent most of her time traveling abroad for photo shoots.
She didn't look like a lady at all.
That's why Feng Yuli is so concerned when he suddenly sees a girl whose eyebrows look so much like Feng Congqian's.
Moreover… his intuition told him that this little girl was very likely Feng Congqian's only bloodline.
But intuition aside, it would be best to take the little girl for a paternity test.
As if Meng Qinian hadn't been shocked enough, Feng Yuli took out his phone, pulled up a photo of Feng Congqian in a magazine, covered the lower half of his face, and showed it to him: "Take another look at this one, doesn't it look familiar?"
Meng Qinian stared at the half of the handsome face in the photo, speechless: "..."
Damn, they look exactly alike. No wonder his cousin only met Yuanman once and then interrogated her like he was checking her census records.
Meng Qinian remained silent for a while, then said in a vacant voice, "So... Yuanman is very likely my cousin?"
If it's confirmed that Yuanman is her uncle's biological child, then...wouldn't he be able to openly and legitimately snatch her away from the Jiang family?!
