Chapter 76: Jiang Junsheng’s Daughter?
Nan Yuanman didn’t indulge her at all and directly retorted: “So what if it’s a country bumpkin? Did she eat your family’s rice? If you don’t want to follow me, then leave! I’m not forcing you to follow me!”
In front of the big brothers and big sisters she liked, Nan Yuanman was a soft, sweet little steamed bun, but in front of people she disliked, the little girl was a spiky little hedgehog full of aggression.
She didn’t care if the person opposite her was old or young, anyone who offended her got bared teeth back.
Jiang Xinxin let out a loud hum, crossing her arms: “I’m not falling for your trick. If I leave now, you’ll go report to Uncle later and say I didn’t accompany you to pick clothes!”
Nan Yuanman shook her little head: “Don’t worry, I won’t report it.”
Jiang Xinxin rolled her eyes and muttered softly: “I don’t believe you!”
As she spoke, she caught sight of a fluorescent green little party dress hanging below with the corner of her eye. Her eyes darted around, then she ran over pattering, pointing at the little party dress and shouting: “Hey! You, wear this one!”
“This one looks great. If you wear it, you’ll definitely be the most eye-catching cub at the banquet!”
Nan Yuanman looked in the direction she pointed and her eyes lit up when she saw the fluorescent green little dress. She ran over pattering and shouted to the salesperson big sister with a subtle smile: “Sister, I want to try this one on!”
Salesperson: “……Okay.”
She took down the fluorescent green princess dress and took Nan Yuanman to the fitting room to try it on. Jiang Xinxin scurried around finding jewelry for her, grabbing whatever was ugly.
So when Jiang Lixuan arrived, he saw a little milk baby dressed in an exceptionally “special” way—
Nan Yuanman was wearing a fluorescent green princess dress, with rainbow socks on her meaty little short legs, crystal shoes on her feet, and two big red flowers as big as her face pinned on her head.
If it weren’t for Nan Yuanman’s face holding it together, Jiang Lixuan couldn’t even imagine how disastrous this outfit would be.
He rubbed his forehead helplessly. Sure enough, something like picking formal wear couldn’t be left entirely to children.
Jiang Xinxin had originally wanted to make Nan Yuanman look ugly, but with this combination, not only was it not ugly, it even had a strangely cute vibe.
Jiang Xinxin: “……”
She was somewhat broken by this, huffing angrily as she threw the little jewelry in her hand onto the ground: “You’re so annoying! I’m not picking for you anymore!”
Her action made Jiang Lixuan furrow his brows, and he scolded her in a low voice: “Xin Xin! How can you throw things around like that?”
Jiang Xinxin hadn’t expected Jiang Lixuan to come over, so she shrank her neck and called out to him timidly: “Uncle…”
Jiang Yueyao, who had come over trying to calm her emotions, heard this and quickly stepped forward to hold Jiang Xinxin’s hand. She turned her head and couldn’t help but snap at him: “Little brother, why are you scolding Xin Xin! No matter what, Xin Xin 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, beckoning to Nan Yuanman: “Come, Uncle will pick two more for you.”
The little girl who was spinning around in front of the mirror admiring herself came running over happily: “Coming!”
Jiang Lixuan ignored Jiang Yueyao and her daughter, taking Nan Yuanman to pick two decent ones for her.
Jiang Xinxin looked at Jiang Lixuan somewhat at a loss, then at Jiang Yueyao: “Mommy, are you fighting with Uncle?”
Jiang Yueyao suppressed the gloom in her eyes and tried to give her a smile, but the smile looked particularly forced: “……No.”
“Come, Mommy will take you to pick clothes.” Jiang Yueyao changed the subject, holding Jiang Xinxin’s hand to select formal wear.
The two were on either side, and Jiang Xinxin kept turning her head to look at Jiang Lixuan, who was softly and gently picking clothes for Nan Yuanman. She hoped he would come over like before to help her pick nice clothes.
Unfortunately, Jiang Lixuan now had only Nan Yuanman in his eyes, not her at all.
The more Jiang Xinxin watched, the more upset and aggrieved she felt inside, but she didn’t dare make a sound, silently picking formal wear with red eyes.
Jiang Yueyao saw her actions and felt a surge of hatred toward Jiang Lixuan. She took a deep breath, squatted down, placed both hands on Jiang Xinxin’s shoulders, looked at her seriously, and said: “Xin Xin, you must remember, you are the only little miss of the Jiang family.”
“Nan Yuanman is that outsider. She’s here to fight you and Mommy for Uncle. You have to help Mommy drive her out.”
Jiang Xinxin was a bit confused: “How to drive her out, Mommy… Uncle likes her a lot.”
“Mommy has a way.” Jiang Yueyao said: “At tomorrow’s family reunion banquet, you just need to help Mommy do one thing…”
On the other side.
Nan Yuanman glanced at Jiang Lixuan, her little mouth pursing: “If you don’t want to smile, don’t. Smiling like that looks so ugly.”
Jiang Lixuan: “……Little mouth, don’t talk.”
Nan Yuanman pouted, walking slowly in front of him. That fluorescent green princess dress hurt Jiang Lixuan’s eyes.
He couldn’t help but lift her up: “Go change out of that broken dress you’re wearing. What kind of thing is this? You look like a little cabbage.”
Nan Yuanman vigilantly grabbed the hem of her skirt: “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 to another one.”
“No!”
“Take it off!”
The big one and the small one argued for a while, finally settling with Jiang Lixuan agreeing to buy this dress and give it to Nan Yuanman.
“I’m really defeated by you…” Jiang Lixuan muttered, carrying Nan Yuanman to pick clothes and shoes. Once he started, he couldn’t stop.
A five-year-old child still had a short and stocky build. Nan Yuanman was even a bit thinner and smaller than peers due to poor nutrition, but she had a great face. Once she put on the clothes and dresses, she looked just like a child model on TV.
This one looked good, that one looked good too, buy buy buy…
Unwittingly, he bought nearly a hundred pieces of clothes. Only when Nan Yuanman clearly refused to try another one did he reluctantly stop.
“Let’s go, time to eat.” Jiang Lixuan paid, scooped up the tired young cub who was swaying as she walked with one arm, had the salesperson send the clothes back to the Jiang family villa, and then left holding Nan Yuanman.
–
Wanhe Hospital.
Feng Yuli lay on the sofa feigning sleep, full of fatigue. After rescuing Feng Congqian for a day and night, his condition had finally stabilized.
Close observation was still needed next.
Feng Yuli was drowsily about to fall asleep when the tightly closed hospital room door was forcefully pushed open with a bang: “Big cousin! Big trouble!!”
Feng Yuli: “…”
He raised his hand to rub his aching brow, slowly sitting up from the sofa, his voice hoarse: “Did the world end?”
“The world didn’t end! But! Our little sister is about to be snatched away!!” Meng Qinian held a black invitation letter in his hand, rushing over energetically and shoving the invitation letter in front of him: “Look at this! The Jiang family sent someone this morning to deliver it to my dad!”
Feng Yuli looked closely, and when he saw the content on the invitation letter, his eyes slowly narrowed: “Special guest invited to attend the family reunion banquet for Jiang Junsheng’s daughter, Nan Yuanman?”
“Ha?”
