Chapter 148: Press Conference Begins, Seeking Justice For Bai Wenyin
Jiang Yunjing lazily yawned, then snorted with a laugh upon hearing this: “Dad, are you sure the Feng family invited us to introduce us to the wealthy families in Shangjing? They’re not trying to mess with us?”
He didn’t believe that after the Jiang family members had done those excessive things to Nan Yuanman, the Feng family members could still treat them so kindly.
There must be something unusual when things are abnormal.
“The Feng family is a wealthy family in Shangjing; they wouldn’t do something so degrading.” Jiang Tianzong spoke in a deep voice: “Even if we step back ten thousand steps, we are still Yuanman’s only relatives in this world. She won’t let the Feng family treat us like this.”
“Yeah, Fourth Brother.” Jiang Yueyao held Jiang Xinxin’s hand and spoke softly: “The Feng family is not like the Jiang family. There are many Feng family members, and Yuanman still needs someone to back her up in the Feng family.”
“For Yuanman, her uncles are her backing. How could she let the Feng family target the Jiang family?”
Jiang Lixuan sat on the sofa without saying much. Hearing Jiang Yueyao say this, he raised his eyes to glance at her and sneered: “Easy to say. Are we worthy of being Yuanman’s backing?”
Jiang Yueyao was choked and lowered her eyes somewhat aggrievedly. Jiang Tianzong glared at Jiang Lixuan: “Say a few less words; no one will take you for a mute.”
“We previously vented our anger on Yuanman because of Wenyin, that’s true, but we’ll correct it in the future. Also, Yao Yao, when you go to the press conference site today and see Yuanman, apologize to her. Lower your stance a bit and let the Feng family see your sincerity.”
Jiang Yueyao nodded obediently on the surface and agreed, but her slightly lowered eyes were exceptionally vicious and hateful.
She would endure a little longer. Once she climbed up the Feng family’s ladder, the Jiang family members… she wouldn’t need to endure anymore.
Jiang Junsheng checked the time and said: “Dad, it’s about time. We should head out.”
“I’ll go out for some fresh air first.” Jiang Hengzhi was unusually irritable today for some reason. He tugged at his tie and got up to leave first.
Jiang Lixuan coldly glanced at Jiang Yueyao, got up wanting to follow, but was stopped by Jiang Tianzong: “Lixuan, wait.”
Jiang Lixuan turned slightly: “Something?”
“You’re close to Yuanman. In a bit, take this to her and say it’s rock sugar stewed pear that her grandmother personally made for her this morning. Her mother used to love drinking it. Give her some to try.”
As Jiang Tianzong spoke, he handed him the thermos on the coffee table.
Jiang Lixuan didn’t take it and frowned: “Why don’t you give it to her yourself?”
Jiang Tianzong helplessly: “She has her guard up against us now. She won’t take it if I give it.”
“You can’t let your mom’s good intentions go to waste, right?”
Jiang Lixuan looked at the thermos in Jiang Tianzong’s hand, and suddenly a scene flashed before his eyes: not long after Bai Wenyin returned to the Jiang family, she fell ill and was hospitalized. When Ge Peiyao and he carried this thermos to visit her, the surprised smile on her face.
And when drinking the rock sugar stewed pear from the thermos, that cautious and happy expression.
Clearly… that rock sugar stewed pear was just leftovers from what Jiang Yueyao had drunk, which he had casually filled it with, yet she was so happy, so easily satisfied…
Jiang Lixuan’s heart tightened slightly. He took a deep breath, turned his face away awkwardly, and took the thermos from Jiang Tianzong’s hand: “I’ll just deliver it. Whether she accepts it or not is none of my business.”
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Jiang Xinxin looked up at this one, then that one, her gaze falling on the lazy Jiang Yunjing.
Jiang Yunjing was now the only one in the family who hadn’t directly met Nan Yuanman, and also the only one who didn’t like Nan Yuanman yet.
She thought for a moment and walked toward him: “Fourth Uncle, can you hold Xin Xin’s hand today?”
Jiang Yunjing smiled, looking exceptionally approachable, but refused her very straightforwardly: “No.”
“I have something to do today. I’ll leave right after the press conference. Let your mom hold your hand.”
Jiang Xinxin’s expression stiffened, she pursed her lips, looking disappointed: “Okay then…”
Jiang Junsheng frowned slightly and beckoned to Jiang Xinxin: “It’s about time, Xin Xin. Come to Great Uncle; we’re heading out.”
Jiang Xinxin: “Okay~”
The prepared Jiang family members set off together for the press conference hall.
–
On Weibo, the Feng Group quietly posted a livestream link.
As soon as the livestream link went up, Feng Yuli and Feng Langqing immediately reposted it.
Jiang Chuyun was scrolling Weibo, saw the link, and clicked to repost it.
Netizens surfing online immediately noticed, and those with quick hands clicked in right away.
After entering the livestream room, they immediately saw the iconic classroom-style layout and the huge podium.
Bullet screen: 【???? What is this? Livestreaming what?】
【Looking at this setup, it’s a press conference? Is the Feng Group releasing a new product? Haven’t heard any rumors lately?】
【No idea, Brother Feng reposted it so I came to watch the fun.】
【Wait, why is there something about Jiang Chuyun in here? This is so mysterious. Is something big about to happen?】
【Grabbing a spot, joining the fun +1】
【……】
Not only the surfing netizens came to join the fun; elites from S City and Shangjing who got the news also unusually clicked into the livestream room to show support.

As soon as the first reward appeared, it was like some incredible button was pressed, and countless rewards followed instantly.

【Money money money, the whole screen is money!! Big Shots, share some with me!】
【Am I the only one curious who this Yuanman is? The top few on the reward list are all her brothers.】
【I know I know! Yuanman is Feng Langqing’s sister! She was on a baby variety show with him, super cute!】
【Hiss… This press conference isn’t announcing to the world that the Feng family little princess has returned, is it?】
While netizens were buzzing with speculation, Yuanman World’s Cutest popped up again: 【Yuanman! Crush the Jiang family members! Brother Qinian supports you!】
Sharp-eyed young elites from wealthy families in S City saw the message posted by Meng Qinian and speculated: Could this press conference really be the Feng family targeting the Jiang family?
“Hahaha! If this press conference is aimed at the Jiang family, they’re gonna lose big face today!” A young elite who had a grudge against the Jiang family members gloated in a WeChat group.
“Heh, the Jiang family was still showing off to me a couple days ago. After this press conference ends, let’s see if they have any face left to show off.”
“…”
Amid the online buzz and speculation, Nan Yuanman and Feng Congqian had already arrived at the backstage of the press conference hall.
Feng Xingchi held the file of all events that happened to Bai Wenyin in the Jiang family from the previous investigation, raised an eyebrow at Nan Yuanman: “Kid, are you nervous?”
“Not nervous.” Nan Yuanman slowly drank some water. Today, the one who should be nervous wasn’t her.
Feng Congqian took a tissue to wipe the water stain from the corner of Nan Yuanman’s mouth, coldly raised his eyes to glance at Feng Xingchi: “Have the Jiang family people arrived?”
Feng Xingchi pressed the earpiece hanging on his ear to ask, then answered him: “They’ve arrived.”
“Let’s go.” Feng Congqian tidied Nan Yuanman’s slightly messy hair, held her hand, and walked toward the front stage: “We’re going to seek justice for your mother, delayed by five years.”
