Chapter 233: Lewd Grin
“Why do you know, and why say it like that?” Jiang Hengzhi suddenly stood up and approached her: “Back then, when my dad took you to Shangjing, what exactly did you go there for? His death… does it have anything to do with you!”
He growled lowly with agitated emotions: “Answer me!”
No matter how obtuse Jiang Hengzhi was, he realized that this ‘Jiang Xinxin’ was off.
After she returned to S City from Shangjing, she no longer had that intense affection for the Jiang family, and when looking at them, there was no longer the previous dependence, as if looking at an ant.
He had thought that ‘Jiang Xinxin’ was taken to Shangjing by Jiang Tianzong and had experienced something bad that stimulated her.
But… just now he had received a call from Jiang Lixuan, and before he could tell her the news of Jiang Tianzong’s death, she already knew…
This was wrong.
Jiang Hengzhi’s muddled brain suddenly flashed with a chilling thought. He tightly grabbed ‘Jiang Xinxin’s’ collar and pressed again: “You’re not Jiang Xinxin! Who are you?!”
“Jiang Xinxin” was like a rag doll, being shaken in Jiang Hengzhi’s hand. She blinked her clear and bewildered big eyes, asking him in confusion: “I helped you solve a problem, aren’t you happy?”
“Clearly, before I returned here, you all hated him so much in your hearts, resented him so much, feeling he brought you a lot of trouble.”
“Now the trouble is solved, and you’re not happy? Why?”
“Also, of course I’m not Jiang Xinxin. My name is Jiang Zhen.”
These bewildered yet extremely malicious words made Jiang Hengzhi’s body completely stiffen, and the hand clutching her collar released as if electrocuted.
Jiang Zhen landed lightly from the air, and upon raising her eyes, she met Jiang Hengzhi’s vigilant and wary gaze, which also contained fear and hatred.
She frowned: “I don’t like you looking at me like that.”
“It makes me want to dig out your eyes.”
“You, monster!” Jiang Hengzhi kept retreating, vigilantly saying to her: “Get out! The Jiang family doesn’t welcome you!”
“I can’t get out. I was painstakingly brought back by Jiang Tianzong. From now on…” Jiang Zhen hooked up a sinister arc at the corner of her mouth, a flash of red light in her eyes: “The Jiang family is mine.”
Jiang Hengzhi was completely terrified. He didn’t care about picking up the mobile phone on the ground and turned to run.
But at the moment he turned around, Jiang Zhen appeared in front of him, looking unhappy: “Second Uncle, where are you going without me?”
“Without my permission, you can’t leave!”
Jiang Zhen showed him a sweet smile. In Jiang Hengzhi’s terrified sight, she reached out to him. A red thread that ordinary people couldn’t see spread out from her body and suddenly drilled into his brow…
At that time, Jiang Junsheng, who had been busy with the company for several days and finally had time to come to the hospital to see Ge Peiyao, came out of the elevator and arrived at the corridor outside the hospital room, where he saw Jiang Hengzhi with his back to him.
Jiang Junsheng: “Hengzhi? Why are you at the hospital but not going in to see Mom, just standing silly outside?”
Jiang Hengzhi’s back stiffened slightly. He didn’t speak, but a small head poked out from his shoulder and greeted him with a smile: “Uncle, you’re here~”
Seeing this ‘niece’ he had doted on for many years again, Jiang Junsheng’s mood was particularly complex, but he also knew that adults’ matters shouldn’t affect children.
Among all the things that had happened to the Jiang family these days, Jiang Xinxin was innocent.
He showed a smile on his face: “Xin Xin is here too.”
“Uncle, I changed my name. Father changed it to Zhen’er, the Zhen from pearl, the Zhen from treasure.”
“Jiang Zhen…” Jiang Junsheng pursed his lips: “It’s a good name.”
“Alright, take your Second Uncle and let’s go see Grandmother together.”
Jiang Zhen: “Okay.”
She gently patted Jiang Hengzhi’s shoulder. Jiang Hengzhi stiffly turned around, silently taking mechanical stiff steps to follow behind Jiang Junsheng…

The Jiang family’s storm temporarily couldn’t reach Nan Yuanman. At that time, Nan Yuanman, based on intelligence from Feng Jingcheng’s brother, arrived in front of a club.
Feng Yanxiu silently stopped the car, looking at the colorful, vulgar-worded signboards in front of him, and turned to give Feng Jingcheng a death stare: “You bring Yuanman to a place like this to play?”
Feng Jingcheng: “…”
Feng Jingcheng struggled desperately: “Second Brother, hear me explain…” He couldn’t help cursing inwardly. Zheng Zi’ang, that dog thing, even after coming back to life, couldn’t change his playful habit!
Being playful was one thing, but coming to a dump like this!
To salvage his precarious brotherly bond with Feng Yanxiu, Feng Jingcheng quickly explained Zheng Zi’ang’s situation.
He didn’t forget to bring in Yuanman at the end: “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Yuanman. The two of us really came for serious business this time!”
Nan Yuanman nodded seriously with her steamed bun face, the little meat on her cheeks DuangDuang jiggling with her movements: “Yes, that’s right, we’re here for serious business!”
Feng Yanxiu restrained the urge to pinch it twice and reluctantly said: “Fine, but to test Zheng Zi’ang, neither you nor Yuanman need to go. I can go alone.”
“I’m not often in Shangjing. It’s hard for the younger generation to recognize me. You and Yuanman going would easily alert him.”
Although Nan Yuanman really wanted to go into this colorful, pretty-looking place to take a look, merit was more important to her, so she readily agreed.
She rummaged in her small shoulder bag and pulled out two talismans to hand to him: “Fifth Brother, this is an amulet, and this is a signal talisman. If you encounter danger, destroy the signal talisman, and Sixth Brother and I will rush in to save you right away!”
“Oh right, take Xiao Cao too. If there’s danger, throw Xiao Cao out. Xiao Cao can block it for you for a while.”
After stuffing the talismans, Nan Yuanman also pulled out Xiao Cao and shoved it into his hand.
Feng Yanxiu was stunned for a moment, feeling a slight warmth in his heart, and nodded gently: “Okay.”
He carefully put the two talismans and the small straw doll into his clothes pocket: “I’ll be careful with safety.”
With that, Feng Yanxiu pushed open the car door and went out.
Feng Jingcheng watched his back, scratched his head and asked: “Yuanman, so are we just waiting in the car like this?”
“Of course not.” Nan Yuanman blinked her round big eyes: “We’re going to the Zheng family.”
“To see what the thing is that brought Zheng Zi’ang back to life.”
The siblings exchanged a glance and both showed the same sly grin.
Feng Yanxiu was still too young and didn’t know how much trouble kids this age could cause. Having Nan Yuanman sit obediently in the car waiting one or two hours steadily was impossible.
They couldn’t enter the club, but they had other places to go.
So, Feng Jingcheng unbuckled his seatbelt, climbed to the driver’s seat, and drove sneakily toward the Zheng family.
At this time, Feng Yanxiu, still unaware that his home was gone, had entered the club.
Perhaps there really was some unresolved connection between the Feng family and the Zheng family. As soon as he reached the bar and ordered a drink, he turned his head and saw Zheng Zi’ang with his arm around a woman coming out of a private room on the first floor, heading to a private room upstairs.
He hesitated for a few seconds, pretended to be looking for someone, and followed upstairs.
