Having lived a life of luxury for so many years, Ge Peiyao was always respectfully welcomed wherever she went in S City. This was the first time she had been stopped at the entrance of a building.
She held Jiang Xinxin's hand, who looked extremely unwilling, and glared at the bodyguards blocking her way, trying her best to maintain her elegant demeanor: "I am your young lady's grandmother, her own grandmother! How dare you stop me outside? Get out of my way right now!"
The bodyguard, with a blank expression, said, "Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he would need Miss and Sir's permission to enter."
Ge Peiyao was furious: "You!"
Jiang Xinxin's eyes darted around, and she gently tugged at her hand: "Grandma, since my sister won't let us go in, let's just forget about it. We'll just go back and tell Grandpa the truth."
She didn't want to apologize to Nan Yuanman, that country bumpkin. It would be so embarrassing if word got out!
Her friends will definitely laugh at her!
Ge Peiyao was also tempted, but she remembered Jiang Tianzong's repeated instructions before she came today that she must see Nan Yuanman and give her the cookies that Xinxin made herself.
Whether the Jiang family can rise to the next level depends on Nan Yuanman's attitude.
Ge Peiyao pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, I have to see her today."
As she spoke, Ge Peiyao tried to barge inside, straightening her chest and ramming directly into the bodyguard's hand: "Let's see who dares to stop me!"
"Is this the attitude the Jiang family has towards apologizing to Yuanman?" A cold, deep voice suddenly came.
Ge Peiyao paused, and the bodyguards blocking her way stepped aside, revealing a handsome man carrying a small child striding down the corridor.
The man wore gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a noble and aloof air, radiating an oppressive aura. He was handsome, but his eyes were filled with coldness: "I haven't even settled accounts with you for the Jiang family bullying my daughter. And yet, you've come here under the pretext of apologizing, acting all high and mighty?"
Ge Peiyao's mind went blank for a moment, and her originally straight back slumped slightly. Jiang Xinxin also gripped Ge Peiyao's clothes tightly in fear and couldn't help but hide behind her.
Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but secretly observe Feng Congqian. Is this Nan Yuanman's father? He's so tall and handsome, and he looks incredibly reassuring.
Jiang Xinxin, who had always been pampered by her family and hadn't thought much about her biological father, suddenly became curious about what her father would be like.
Will he be as tall and handsome as Nan Yuanman's father? Will he protect her like Nan Yuanman's father?
Ge Peiyao felt a cold sweat break out on her back as she recalled her forceful act. She tried to calm herself down and forced a smile: "Patriarch Feng, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I was just anxious to see Yuanman as soon as possible."
"Yuanman, it's me, Grandma. Do you still remember me?"
Before Ge Peiyao came to see Nan Yuanman, she did have many questions she wanted to ask her, such as why she didn't visit her uncle and maternal grandparents when they were in the same hospital.
But when she saw Feng Congqian, she didn't dare to ask him any of these questions.
This man's aura... is too powerful.
Nestled in Feng Congqian's arms, Nan Yuanman looked at Ge Peiyao with wide eyes and said in a childish voice, "I remember you, the bad guy who drove my mother away."
Yuanman still remembers that the information Uncle Feng read to her said that her mother was personally kicked out of the Jiang family by Ge Peiyao.
Therefore, she is not her maternal grandmother.
She doesn't deserve it!
Ge Peiyao froze, her smile almost crumbling: "What nonsense are you talking about, child? Your mother and I had a misunderstanding back then. I... I was just angry at the time. Who knew that child would be so stubborn and actually leave..."
"Besides, the grudges of adults have nothing to do with a child like you. I came today to see if you're doing well..."
Feng Congqian smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Does Madam Ge mean that I would treat my daughter badly?"
Ge Peiyao choked for a moment: "I...I didn't mean that..."
As she spoke, she looked at Nan Yuanman, hoping that Nan Yuanman would speak up to help her out of the predicament. However, Nan Yuanman hugged Feng Congqian's neck and did not speak up for her at all. She felt frustrated and couldn't help but complain about her.
What an ungrateful brat! At least the Jiang family took care of her for several days. If it weren't for them, she would have starved to death in the countryside by now, and she would never have had the chance to find her biological father...
The Jiang family helped her find her biological father, and not only were they ungrateful, they didn't even offer a word of help. They've raised her for nothing...
Feng Congqian looked down at him with a cold gaze: "Since you've come to apologize, let's begin now."
He wanted to see what the Jiang family intended to do by sending two women over.
Ge Peiyao paused for a moment, then looked around with difficulty at the bodyguards standing at the door and in the corridor, before opening her mouth: "Right... here?"
Although only Feng Congqian, Nan Yuanman, and the Feng family's bodyguards were present, the bodyguards were still outsiders. What if they were asked to apologize to Nan Yuanman in front of the bodyguards, and the bodyguards recorded the video and leaked it?
Does the Jiang family still have any standing in S City?
Jiang Xinxin's vision went black, and she immediately broke down. She grabbed Ge Peiyao's clothes and cried, "I don't want to! I don't want to! Grandma, I don't want to apologize here!"
How embarrassing for her to apologize to this country bumpkin in front of so many people!
"Not going to apologize? Then get lost." Feng Congqian showed no mercy, picking up Nan Yuanman and turning to leave.
"Stop!" Ge Peiyao was filled with hatred and had no desire to develop a relationship with Nan Yuanman. She yanked Jiang Xinxin hard and scolded her with a dark face, "What are you doing! Apologize to your sister Yuanman right now!"
Jiang Xinxin stumbled as she was pulled, and reluctantly turned to look at Ge Peiyao, only to be startled by Ge Peiyao's dark face. With red eyes, she honestly said, "I'm sorry, Yuanman, it was my fault."
"What did you do wrong?" Nan Yuanman tilted his head.
Jiang Xinxin's face flushed red, her fists clenched tightly, as if she were enduring a great humiliation. She said, "I... I shouldn't have falsely accused you of pushing me into the river."
"I'm sorry! I really know I was wrong! Please forgive me!"
Suppressing her humiliation, Ge Peiyao gave Nan Yuanman a rather unpleasant smile and handed her the basket in her hand: "And this, these are apology cookies that Xinxin made for you herself. Yuanman, please forgive her for the sake of Xinxin being your sister, okay?"
Nan Yuanman did not reach out to take the basket. He glanced at Feng Congqian, then lowered his eyes and said, "This is not good."
Ge Peiyao's expression completely crumbled: "You!"
Feng Congqian curled his lips, staring at her coldly: "What?"
Meeting Feng Congqian's gaze, Ge Peiyao felt as if she had been doused with cold water, chilled to the bone, and her rationality returned slightly: "N-nothing."
She took a deep breath and kicked Jiang Xinxin in the back of the knee: "Yuanman won't forgive you, it must be because Xinxin's apology wasn't sincere enough, Xinxin! Kneel down!"
