Chapter 220: The Ominous Star That Brings Death To Father And Mother
Nan Yuanman made them utterly infamous in S City, and the entire Jiang family nearly fell apart. Jiang Tianzong definitely wouldn’t let her off.
Feng Congqian recalled the gu that jumped out from the thermos brought by Jiang Lixuan at the press conference in S City earlier, his gaze darkening slightly: “I will.”
However… if Jiang Tianzong was really involved with Mystical Arts, then protection from ordinary people probably wouldn’t be of much use.
Fortunately, when he sent out the invitations, he also sent one to Zhang Shimian. He should be coming today. With him here, Yuanman’s safety factor should be much higher.
“You come back first. The banquet is about to start, and Yuanman misses you too.”
Feng Xingchi adjusted the laptop’s angle: “I’m in the car now, arriving soon.”
Feng Congqian reminded him to be safe, then hung up the call.
At the same time, Feng Yanxiu, who had rushed over, also arrived at Feng Family Manor. As soon as he got out of the car, a servant waiting outside led him in.
“Fifth Young Master, Sixth Young Master has already matched the clothes for you to wear to the banquet today. Just follow me to change into them.”
“By the way, Miss is changing clothes now too. You should run into her in a bit.”
Feng Yanxiu rubbed his somewhat sore shoulders and gave a cold hum, feeling a bit disdainful inside. She probably knew he was coming back for the family reunion banquet and was deliberately waiting for him in the dressing room to curry favor.
Illegitimate daughters from other families were all like this. He had seen too many over the years.
This was what Feng Yanxiu thought before pushing open the dressing room door, but after pushing it open and seeing the little bean inside obediently tilting up her small head, letting Feng Yuli tie a bow for her, he fell silent.
No one had told him that the protagonist of this family reunion banquet was a child!
How old did this child look? Only that big?
Feng Congqian eating tender grass as an old cow?
Beast.
It wasn’t that Feng Zining and Feng Jingcheng didn’t tell him, but they thought that even if Feng Yanxiu didn’t follow Feng family news, he would at least check the news?
The matter Nan Yuanman stirred up with the Jiang family in S City hadn’t been suppressed by the Feng family sending someone. As long as Feng Yanxiu usually browsed the news, he could come across her news and know that the daughter Feng Congqian brought back was a five-year-old child.
If he didn’t browse the news, he would have seen Nan Yuanman’s personal standee when entering the manor earlier, right?
Who knew, Feng Yanxiu had come straight with the servant via a shortcut, completely missing Nan Yuanman’s personal standee and photo.
Nan Yuanman, who had been tilting up her small head, saw the stranger youth appearing at the dressing room doorway, wearing khaki work clothes, looking especially rough and rugged, yet full of ghost energy, and let out an “eh.”
Feng Yuli heard and looked up, also seeing the youth at the door. He raised his brow slightly: “Yanxiu, you’re back?”
Yanxiu?
Nan Yuanman opened her clear black-and-white eyes with curiosity looking at him. He was the donkey demon Fifth Brother that Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother mentioned!
Feng Yanxiu came back to his senses, gave an uncomfortable hum, and hesitated before stepping inside.
Nan Yuanman’s gaze curiously followed his movements. She didn’t see any demonic energy on Fifth Brother, just very heavy ghost energy.
Feng Yanxiu felt uncomfortable being stared at like this no matter what he did. He couldn’t help but roughly ask: “What are you looking at?”
“Seeing if you’re a donkey demon.” Nan Yuanman answered him honestly.
Feng Yanxiu: “?”
“Donkey demon?”
Nan Yuanman: “Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother said you’re as stubborn as a donkey…”
Feng Yanxiu’s forehead vein twitched slightly. He knew it, those two brothers never had a good word in their mouths!
Feng Yuli couldn’t help but chuckle lowly, gently patting Nan Yuanman’s back: “Your Fifth Brother isn’t a donkey demon. He’s the real deal, a genuine person.”
Nan Yuanman: “Oh.”
Feng Yanxiu: “…” Why did her tone sound disappointed?
This illegitimate… oh no, this cousin wasn’t quite like what he had imagined.
“The ceremony is about to start. Yanxiu, go change your clothes.” Feng Yuli said mildly, his tone completely without any strangeness or distance from him returning home after so long.
Feng Yanxiu gave an uncomfortable hum. As he got up to go to the dressing room, a crisp clatter sounded.
He instinctively looked down. When he saw what had fallen on the ground, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly reached to pick it up.
A fair little hand was faster than him: “This longevity lock is the one Fifth Brother is giving me…”
“Don’t touch it!” Feng Yanxiu nervously slapped the longevity lock from her hand, his voice unconsciously rising.
Feng Yuli’s brow immediately furrowed.
Nan Yuanman seemed startled by him and stared at him in a daze.
Feng Yanxiu realized his reaction was too big. His whole body tensed, a bit of annoyance surging in his heart, but his face remained coldly aloof as he quickly picked up the longevity lock: “Your gift isn’t this.”
Before seeing Nan Yuanman, he hadn’t even thought of buying a gift for that illegitimate daughter.
He had thought the illegitimate daughter Feng Congqian found was at least sixteen already. Who knew… she looked not even six yet.
“I’ll send someone with your gift later.” Feng Yanxiu left this cold hard sentence, pocketed the longevity lock, turned, and strode into the dressing room.
Feng Yuli didn’t know why Feng Yanxiu had reacted so strongly. He came to Nan Yuanman’s side worriedly and hugged her: “Yuanman, are you okay?”
“Don’t be afraid of your Fifth Brother. He’s not bad-hearted.”
“Yuanman is fine.” Nan Yuanman came back to her senses: “I know. Fifth Brother is a great guy.”
If he were a bad guy, he would’ve given her the longevity lock harboring the ghost infant long ago!
She just didn’t know where this Fifth Brother of hers had provoked such a fierce ghost infant from.
After the banquet ended, she needed to help deal with it.
In the dressing room.
Feng Yanxiu calmed down for a bit before taking the golden longevity lock from his pocket, his gaze carrying a bit of fear as it fell on it.
He pursed his lips and strode to the trash can, throwing the longevity lock in.
He didn’t believe this longevity lock could come back to him this time!
Amid everyone’s busy preparations, the family reunion banquet ceremony finally began.
Following Nan Yuanman’s request, Feng Congqian didn’t make anything fancy. At an auspicious time, he held Nan Yuanman’s hand and went on stage, formally introducing her to the guests from the Eight Great Families who had been invited.
“Yuanman is the apple of my eye, Feng Congqian’s. She will also be the Feng family’s only little princess.”
Feng Yuli, Feng Langqing, and the returned Feng Xingchi, Feng Zining, Feng Yanxiu, and Feng Jingcheng stood behind Nan Yuanman and Feng Congqian in tailor-fitted high-end custom suits.
Feng Congqian held Nan Yuanman’s hand, his expression stern and cold: “I hope everyone here firmly remembers this face of hers. In the future in Shangjing, don’t let me catch you bullying my family’s child.”
“I, Feng Congqian, have no rule about not holding grudges against children.”
These words were domineering, but the Feng family had the qualification and power in Shangjing to say them.
No matter how unhappy the guests from the Eight Great Families were inside, they could only put on kind smiles on their faces.
The children looked at Nan Yuanman, protected in the center like a moon surrounded by stars by her six brothers, their hearts full of envy.
They also wanted so many brothers to protect them! They wouldn’t lack people even for playing house!
Nan Yuanman hadn’t expected Feng Congqian to so boldly declare her the Feng family’s little princess. Her small face flushed shyly, but her eyes sparkled brightly.
Little princess! Besides Grandpa, it was the first time someone called her little princess!
She liked Uncle Feng so much!
Feng Yuli smiled and said a few softening words: “Of course, as long as each family keeps their own descendants in check and doesn’t bully Yuanman, the Feng family is still willing to continue cooperating with them.”
Zhuo Lerong was just about to be the first to agree when an elderly, slightly hoarse voice filled with hatred rang out: “A heaven-scourge ominous star who kills her parents—how could she bear the title of little princess.”
“Yuanman, do you think Grandfather is right?”
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all the babies! Wishing all babies perfection and joy year after year like today, with reunion wherever the moonlight reaches! Love you all! Be happy, be healthy, get super rich!!
