Chapter 221: Go See Your Long-dead Mother!
As soon as the words Grandfather were spoken, the guests at the banquet all turned their heads toward the direction of the voice, their faces showing a bit of curiosity.
Before coming, they had investigated Nan Yuanman’s background and knew that she had previously sought justice for her mother, causing a huge uproar with the Jiang family, once the richest in S City.
They also knew that Nan Yuanman’s mother was named Bai Wenyin, who had been the kidnapped young lady of the Jiang family.
They had originally thought that with the feud between the Feng family and the Jiang family, the Jiang family wouldn’t come to the family reunion banquet to humiliate themselves.
Unexpectedly, someone actually came?
Listening to this, were they here to cause trouble at the venue?
Nan Yuanman on the stage also looked over upon hearing the voice, and what she saw was a huge Pikachu doll. Immediately after, the person inside removed the doll’s head, revealing an elderly familiar face.
Jiang Tianzong was holding the Pikachu doll’s head, his eyes red, looking at Nan Yuanman with a face full of resentment.
He had originally planned to return to S City with Jiang Xinxin—no, with Jiang Zhen—but on the day of returning, he heard Master Li mention how comfortably Nan Yuanman was living with the Feng family now.
He also heard Master Li say that the Feng family was holding a grand family reunion banquet for her, and that the Feng family members were completely cherishing her like a treasure.
Jiang Tianzong felt extremely indignant in his heart. Why had Nan Yuanman harmed the Jiang family so badly, yet she was living a good life in Shangjing without a care?
He was unwilling. He wanted to ruin Nan Yuanman’s family reunion banquet. He wanted to make Nan Yuanman lose all reputation in the whole Shangjing!
So, with Master Li’s help, he had sneaked in among the staff.
Master Li had also given him a magical artifact.
Jiang Tianzong slowly straightened his slightly hunched back. Using the doll costume for cover, he gripped the pitch-black puppet in his hand tightly, looking at Nan Yuanman with eyes full of malice: “What’s wrong, can’t recognize Grandfather anymore? Yuanman.”
“You didn’t even invite Grandfather to the family reunion banquet. That really hurts Grandfather’s heart.”
Nan Yuanman furrowed her little brows, her face full of confusion: “Didn’t you say I bring death to my father and mother, that I’m an Ominous Star? Aren’t you afraid of being killed by me if you come?”
Feng Congqian, who had been staring vigilantly at Jiang Tianzong, couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth curve up slightly upon hearing this.
Feng Yuli also pursed his lips and chuckled softly.
Feng Langqing laughed outright without any reservation: “Exactly. One second you say our Yuanman is an Ominous Star, and the next you blame our Yuanman for not inviting you. Even if she did invite you, would you dare come? Aren’t you afraid of being killed?”
Feng Xingchi spoke slowly and deliberately: “When people get old, they should act their age. Old Master, what do you say? Am I right?”
Jiang Tianzong’s face turned from green to white under the joint mockery of the Feng family brothers, looking even more unsightly.
Nan Yuanman pouted her little mouth and continued chattering away: “Besides, are you even worthy of being my grandfather? My mom was kidnapped for sixteen years and you never came looking for her. When she came back, you didn’t care about her, and you even let that fake aunt bully her!”
“Not to mention being my grandfather—you’re not even worthy of being my mom’s father! You, you’re not fit to be a person! Ptoo!”
The gazes of the guests who had been quietly watching the drama turned instantly unkind toward Jiang Tianzong, filled with blatant contempt.
Their families did indeed have yin-si practitioners, but they raised their younger generation carefully, whether boys or girls, because manpower was also a kind of resource.
They could never treat their own people with such discrimination like the Jiang family, let alone when the one being discriminated against was their own biological daughter…
They really didn’t know what the Jiang family members were thinking.
However, not all guests were clear-headed. A Sun family member who had a grudge with the Feng family spoke up disapprovingly: “Miss Feng, how can you say that? No matter how badly he acted, he still has the grace of giving birth to your mother, right?”
“Without him, how could your mother have been born into this world?”
Zhuo Lerong, standing next to the Sun family member, never expected her to suddenly speak up. Her mouth twitched, and she quickly shifted her feet to the side, trying hard to distance herself from her.
Afraid that in a moment the Feng family members would see and think she was with the Sun family.
Nan Yuanman looked curiously at the aunt who had spoken: “My mom has already passed away. Isn’t returning her life for his grace of birth enough? Do I have to be kidnapped too?”
Feng Yuli added: “Moral kidnapping.”
Nan Yuanman: “Right, he gave birth to my mom, not me with my dad. What does his grace of birth have to do with me?”
Feng Congqian’s mouth twitched, and he helplessly rubbed his forehead: “Yuanman!”
This child says whatever comes to mind.
He couldn’t let Nan Yuanman continue arguing with Jiang Tianzong. If they kept going, who knew what shocking words would come out of her mouth.
Feng Congqian waved his hand, and the bodyguards guarding around immediately surrounded Jiang Tianzong. His voice was low and cold, his attitude firm: “Mr. Jiang, please leave.”
Jiang Tianzong didn’t move. He sneered: “Sharp-tongued! What do you know! Everything I did was to ensure the Jiang family endures forever!”
“Since you’re so unappreciative, go reunite with your early-deceased mom!”
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Tianzong suddenly pulled his hand out from the doll, forcefully hurling the puppet on his hand toward Nan Yuanman.
As soon as the puppet reached mid-air, it burst out with an extremely black light, and gray-black mist rapidly enveloped the entire manor.
A Yin wind arose from flat ground, blinding the eyes of everyone present, their gazes gradually becoming dull and lifeless.
The puppet in the air trembled, and several pitch-black evil ghosts filled with immense grievance flew out from it, charging toward everyone present from all directions.
On the stage, Nan Yuanman quickly took out several talismans and threw them out. The talismans heavily struck the shadows flying toward the guests.
The shadows let out shrill angry howls and furiously turned around, charging toward Nan Yuanman on the stage.
“Oh no, oh no! Yuanman! What do we do!” Feng Jingcheng was scared and yelling loudly, but his body firmly stayed in front of Nan Yuanman without moving.
Nan Yuanman’s steamed bun face was tense as she pulled out Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Cao and flung them out: “Zhuang Zhuang, Xiao Cao, protect those guests!”
After Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Cao flew out, Nan Yuanman summoned Zhou Jingchuan and Yue Yaxin: “Brother Zhou, Great Aunt, help me protect Uncle Feng and the brothers!”
Zhou Jingchuan looked at the nearly overwhelming evil ghost shadows, his face turning solemn: “Leave it to me!”
Yue Yaxin held high-heeled shoes as a weapon, nodding vigorously: “Good!”
After arranging protection for the rear, Nan Yuanman gave them each amulets and heavenly lightning talismans, then gripped the copper coin sword and flew out, charging toward the ferocious evil ghosts roaring at her.
Before rushing into the evil ghost horde, Nan Yuanman threw out Xiao Hong: “Xiao Hong, eat! Eat heartily! These aren’t good things, eat freely!”
Xiao Hong rolled in the air, the coffin lid creaking open, chasing and swallowing the evil ghosts like whack-a-mole.
After Nan Yuanman slashed two obstructing evil ghosts with one sword, she rushed straight toward Jiang Tianzong, who was running while shedding his doll costume.
A mere ordinary person like Jiang Tianzong couldn’t produce so many evil ghosts! It must be that evil path Master Li behind him!
She had to catch him! Dig out Master Li’s address from his mouth!
Repeatedly trying to kill her—did he really think she was a pushover?
This time, if she found him, she’d summon heavenly lightning to shatter his hide!
