Chapter 50: Meng Qinian: Doesn’t That Mean We Can Openly Snatch People?
Hearing this long-lost name, Jiang Junsheng was stunned for a moment before he remembered that his father had indeed mentioned this matter to him before.
It was just that he was too busy at the time, and since his relationship with Bai Wenyin wasn’t good, he quickly put it out of his mind.
He hadn’t expected that the child Bai Wenyin raised would be so unruly, bullying Xin Xin as soon as she returned to the Jiang family.
Jiang Junsheng’s brows furrowed tightly, his expression extremely displeased: “Where is Bai Wenyin? Give me her contact information. I want to ask her how she raises her child.”
“After all these years without seeing her, not only has she not changed her ways, but she’s also raised her daughter to have such behavior.”
The assistant gave an awkward smile: “Miss Bai Wenyin… didn’t return to the Jiang family.”
Jiang Junsheng: “?”
“She didn’t return to the Jiang family, so where did she go?” Jiang Junsheng felt even more displeased with Bai Wenyin: “Could it be that she left her daughter alone?”
The assistant shook his head: “I’m not clear on that. You should ask Fifth Young Master yourself.”
Jiang Junsheng’s gaze cooled slightly, and he said indifferently: “Arrange a flight for tomorrow noon. After discussing cooperation with the Feng family, we’ll head back.”
He wanted to see just where this child of Bai Wenyin’s got the courage to bully Xin Xin.
Assistant: “Yes.”
–
Nan Yuanman had been out running around all day today, exorcising ghosts and encountering demons, and she was completely exhausted.
After going upstairs, she followed the steps Butler Li taught her to draw a bath for herself. Jiang Lixuan was worried about her and kept asking: “Can you manage by yourself? Do you want me to call a servant to help you?”
“No need, I’ve been able to bathe myself since I was three. I don’t need anyone else’s help.” Nan Yuanman pushed Jiang Lixuan out of the bathroom and hurriedly bathed herself.
Jiang Lixuan didn’t leave and waited outside the bathroom for her. Half an hour later, Nan Yuanman came out wearing clean and comfortable clothes.
The freshly bathed little brat looked like a soft and fluffy milk dumpling, wearing lemon-yellow Pikachu pajamas, her small face rosy, her hair wet and scattered. She looked just like a kitten that had fallen into water, both pitiful and adorable.
Jiang Lixuan’s heart softened. He took a clean towel to dry her hair and carried her to the single-person sofa to sit: “I’ll blow-dry your hair for you.”
Nan Yuanman tilted her little head back, letting him comb her hair.
The young cub’s fur was exceptionally soft, smooth like milk to the touch. Jiang Lixuan was afraid he’d break her hair if he used even a little force, so his inexperienced movements were especially careful.
After he blow-dried Nan Yuanman’s hair, he was sweating from the effort himself. As he lowered his head to speak to her, he discovered the little brat had already fallen asleep while keeping her head tilted back.
Jiang Lixuan’s gaze softened, and he carefully picked her up and placed her on the bed.
This hug revealed her extremely light weight, making Jiang Lixuan’s mood sour and complex, with a touch of regret.
Clearly, Yuanman was a year older than Xin Xin, yet she weighed less than Xin Xin…
He really wasn’t a qualified uncle. Nan Yuanman had been at the Jiang family for several days, and only now did he realize she was malnourished.
After placing her on the bed, Jiang Lixuan sat on the edge, watching her for a good while before picking up his mobile phone and starting to search—
#What to do if a child is malnourished?#
#How to fatten up a child#
#What to pay attention to when raising a little girl…#
On the third day of Nan Yuanman’s return to the Jiang family, she was finally fully taken to heart by Jiang Lixuan.
While Nan Yuanman was sleeping soundly, at the hospital, Meng Qinian was undergoing a one-sided “interrogation” from Feng Yuli.
Feng Yuli: “What are the names of that child’s parents? How did you meet her?”
Meng Qinian listened, looking at him with a strange expression: “Cousin, why are you asking in such detail? Taking a census?”
Feng Yuli smiled mildly on his face: “Answer my questions, or else I’ll have my mom come ask personally.”
Meng Qinian: “…”
He hadn’t planned to hide it from Feng Yuli anyway; with the Feng family’s means, finding out would take just a minute.
He honestly recounted how he met Nan Yuanman and the recent events in the Meng family. Finally, he frowned and said: “Yuanman’s biological mother seems to be Bai Wenyin, the Jiang family’s former abducted daughter. As for her father…”
“She said she doesn’t know. I guess either he died like her mother, or…”
He abandoned his wife and child and ran away.
Feng Yuli listened quietly, his handsome brows slightly raised. He suddenly asked Meng Qinian: “Don’t you think Nan Yuanman looks very much like someone?”
Meng Qinian subconsciously asked: “Who?”
Feng Yuli: “Feng Congqian.”
Meng Qinian was stunned for a moment before realizing who Feng Congqian was that he was referring to. He let out a dry laugh: “Big Cousin, what joke are you making? How could that be possible? The age difference between you all and Yuanman is too great.”
“Besides, Bai Wenyin was only eighteen or nineteen five years ago, right? How old was Uncle-in-law back then? How could she possibly take a liking to him, that old man? Moreover, Uncle-in-law and Bai Wenyin move in different circles, so she couldn’t even get in touch with him…”
Feng Yuli looked at Meng Qinian quietly. After Meng Qinian laughed a few times, he couldn’t laugh anymore and stared at him with wide eyes: “Big Cousin, you can’t be serious, can you?”
Feng Yuli smiled and made a cold joke: “No, I’m here for the fake one.”
He said slowly: “Meng Qinian, have you forgotten? I’m not my parents’ biological child.”
The Feng family currently had a total of six children. The eldest, second, and Third Child were war orphans adopted by Madam Feng when she was young and accidentally entered a battlefield while traveling abroad.
The other three children… as far as he knew, weren’t his old man’s biological either.
When Feng Congqian wasn’t in a coma, what he loved most was the Feng family business. He spent every day at the company, only sending money home. He had no interest in producing offspring, leaving the children entirely to Madam Feng Qingwan to raise.
Meng Qingwan was even more unconventional. She had a passionate romance in her early years, but for some reason it fell apart, and she suddenly married Feng Congqian.
After that, she had no desires, and since Feng Congqian wasn’t keen on making children, neither was she. The two lived coldly and distantly, respecting each other like guests.
After Feng Congqian fell into a coma, her life continued as usual. Apart from visiting him monthly, she spent most of her time traveling and shooting abroad.
She showed no resemblance to a noble madam at all.
So, suddenly seeing a little girl whose features so closely resembled Feng Congqian’s, Feng Yuli took it to heart.
Moreover… his intuition told him that this little girl was very likely Feng Congqian’s only bloodline.
But intuition was just intuition; it would be best to take the little girl for a paternity test.
As if feeling Meng Qinian hadn’t been shocked enough, Feng Yuli took out his mobile phone, pulled up a photo of Feng Congqian in a magazine, covered the lower half of the face, and showed it to him: “Take another look. Doesn’t it look familiar?”
Meng Qinian looked at the clear and handsome brows in the photo and was speechless: “…”
Damn, it was like they were carved from the same mold. No wonder his big cousin, after seeing Yuanman just once, interrogated her like he was taking a census.
Meng Qinian was silent for a good while before saying in a drifting voice: “So… Yuanman is very likely my blood-related cousin?”
If it was confirmed that Yuanman was Uncle-in-law’s biological child, then he… could openly fight the Jiang family for her?!
