Nan Yuanman wasn't going to put up with her and retorted directly, "So what if you're a country bumpkin? Did I eat your rice? If you don't want to come with me, then leave! I'm not forcing you to come with me!"
In front of her favorite older brothers and sisters, Nan Yuanman is like a soft and sweet little bread; in front of people she dislikes, she is like an aggressive little hedgehog.
She didn't care whether the people opposite her were old or young; anyone who offended her would retaliate.
Jiang Xinxin snorted loudly and crossed her arms: "I'm not falling for your tricks. If I leave now, you'll tell your uncle that I didn't accompany you to choose clothes!"
Nan Yuanman shook her little head: "Don't worry, I won't tell on you."
Jiang Xinxin rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "I don't believe you!"
As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of a fluorescent green dress hanging below. Her eyes darted around, and she dashed over, pointing at the dress and shouting, "Hey! You there, wear this!"
"This dress looks amazing! You'll definitely be the most eye-catching person at the banquet if you wear it!"
Nan Yuanman looked in the direction she was pointing, and her eyes lit up when she saw the fluorescent green dress. She ran over and shouted to the sales assistant with a subtle smile, "Sister, I want to try this one on!"
Sales assistant: "...Okay."
She took off the fluorescent green princess dress and took Nan Yuanman to the fitting room to try it on. Jiang Xinxin ran around looking for jewelry for her, picking out almost anything that looked ugly.
So, when Jiang Lixuan arrived, he saw a little baby dressed in a particularly "special" way—
Nan Yuanman was wearing a fluorescent green princess dress, rainbow socks on her chubby little legs, crystal shoes, and two big red flowers as big as her face pinned to her head.
If it weren't for Nan Yuanman's face saving him, Jiang Lixuan couldn't have imagined how disastrous this outfit would be.
He sighed helplessly, realizing that choosing a dress was indeed something that couldn't be entirely left to the child.
Jiang Xinxin originally wanted Nan Yuanman to make her look ugly, but after dressing her up like this, she not only didn't look ugly, but also had a strange cuteness.
Jiang Xinxin: "..."
She was a little overwhelmed and angrily threw the small jewelry in her hand on the ground: "You're so annoying! I'm not letting you choose anymore!"
Her actions made Jiang Lixuan frown, and he scolded her in a low voice, "Xinxin! How could you leave things lying around like that?"
Jiang Xinxin didn't expect Jiang Lixuan to come over. She shrank back and stammered, "Uncle..."
Having tried to calm herself down and follow, Jiang Yueyao quickly stepped forward, took Jiang Xinxin's hand, and turned to scold him, "Brother, why are you scolding Xinxin! No matter what, Xinxin is innocent!"
"Don't call me brother. I'm not your brother, and I can't take on the responsibility of being your brother." Jiang Lixuan said coldly, then waved to Nan Yuanman: "Come on, let your uncle pick out a couple more items for you."
The little girl, who was twirling around in front of the mirror admiring herself, came running towards him excitedly: "Coming!"
Jiang Lixuan ignored Jiang Yueyao and her daughter, and took Nan Yuanman to pick out two decent outfits for her.
Jiang Xinxin glanced at Jiang Lixuan, then at Jiang Yueyao, looking somewhat lost: "Mom, did you have a fight with your uncle?"
Jiang Yueyao concealed the gloom in her eyes and forced a smile at her, but the smile was particularly unpleasant: "...No."
"Come on, Mom will take you to pick out clothes." Jiang Yueyao changed the subject and led Jiang Xinxin to choose a dress.
The two stood on either side of her. Jiang Xinxin would occasionally turn her head to look at Jiang Lixuan, who was gently helping Nan Yuanman choose clothes. She hoped that he would come over and help her choose nice clothes, just like he always did.
Unfortunately, Jiang Lixuan only has eyes for Nan Yuanman now, and has no interest in her at all.
The more Jiang Xinxin looked, the more upset and aggrieved she felt, but she didn't dare to say a word, silently choosing dresses with red eyes.
Jiang Yueyao saw her actions and felt a surge of hatred towards Jiang Lixuan. She took a deep breath, squatted down, put her hands on Jiang Xinxin's shoulders, looked at her seriously, and said, "Xinxin, you must remember that you are the only young lady of the Jiang family."
“Nan Yuanman is that outsider. She’s here to take your uncle away from you and your mother. You have to help your mother and drive her out.”
Jiang Xinxin was a little confused: "How do I get there, Mom... My uncle really likes her."
"Mom has a plan," Jiang Yueyao said. "At the family reunion banquet tomorrow, you only need to do one thing for Mom..."
On the other side.
Nan Yuanman glanced at Jiang Lixuan and pouted, "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh. You look ugly when you laugh like that."
Jiang Lixuan: "...(?′??`?) Little mouth, don't speak."
Nan Yuanman pouted and walked slowly ahead of him, her fluorescent green princess dress stinging Jiang Lixuan's eyes.
He couldn't help but lift her up: "Go change out of that tattered dress you're wearing. What are you dressed like? You look like a little cabbage."
Nan Yuanman grabbed the hem of her skirt warily: "No! This looks good!"
"It doesn't look good!" Jiang Lixuan firmly refused to let such an ugly thing appear on Nan Yuanman: "Take it off and change into something else."
"No!"
"Take it off!"
The two argued for a while, but the argument ended when Jiang Lixuan agreed to buy the clothes and give them to Nan Yuanman.
"I'm really defeated by you..." Jiang Lixuan muttered, carrying Nan Yuanman to pick out clothes and shoes. Once they started picking, they couldn't stop.
Even at five years old, she still has a nine-head-tall figure. Nan Yuanman is thinner and smaller than other children her age because of malnutrition, but she has a beautiful face. When she puts on this dress, she looks like a child model on TV.
This one looks good, that one looks good too, I want to buy, buy, buy...
Before he knew it, he had bought nearly a hundred pieces of clothing. He only stopped when Nan Yuanman explicitly refused to try on another piece.
"Let's go eat." Jiang Lixuan paid the bill, picked up the exhausted cub with one arm, had the sales assistant take the clothes back to the Jiang family villa, and then left with Nan Yuanman in his arms.
-
Wanhe Hospital.
Exhausted, Feng Yuli lay on the sofa, feigning sleep. After a day and a night of intensive care, Feng Congqian's condition had finally stabilized.
We still need to keep a close eye on it.
Feng Yuli was just drifting off to sleep when the tightly closed hospital room door was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang: "Big Cousin! Something terrible has happened!!"
Feng Yuli: "..."
He raised his hand to rub his aching temples, slowly sat up from the sofa, and said in a hoarse voice, "Is the world ending?"
"The world didn't end! But! Our little sister is going to be kidnapped!!" Meng Qinian rushed up to him, holding a black invitation in his hand, and shoved it in his face: "Look at this! The Jiang family sent someone to deliver it to my dad this morning!"
Feng Yuli took a closer look, and when he saw the contents of the invitation clearly, his eyes slowly narrowed: "A distinguished guest is cordially invited to attend the family reunion banquet of Jiang Juncheng's daughter, Nan Yuanman?"
"ha?"
