Chapter 62: This Man Is Very Dangerous
On the way back to the Jiang family villa, Jiang Lixuan kept turning his head to glance at Nan Yuanman, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Nan Yuanman tightly gripped the dessert that Feng Yuli had packed for her from the restaurant in her chubby little hand, turned her head to look out the window, and gave him no response, the message of refusing to communicate very clear.
She was small and didn’t understand many things, but she had understood what Jiang Lixuan and Jiang Hengzhi said during their argument earlier.
She knew that Jiang Lixuan had found some things and cleared her mother’s name.
For someone who had hurt and misunderstood her mother for so many years, Nan Yuanman had no intention of paying him any attention.
Jiang Lixuan looked dazed, feeling bitter inside. He knew the little girl had understood what he and Jiang Hengzhi said earlier and disliked him even more.
He didn’t continue to provoke Nan Yuanman’s dislike and quietly drove back to the Jiang family villa.
At this time, the Jiang family villa was in chaos.
Jiang Junsheng was drenched all over, with meal stuck to his clothes. He stood in front of the messy dining table, raised his hand to rub his aching brow, but upon rubbing, he picked off a black bean stuck to his forehead.
Jiang Yueyao, Jiang Xinxin, and Ge Peiyao sat at the dining table, still not reacting. They had just been eating properly when the table leg on Jiang Junsheng’s side suddenly broke.
All the meal on the table toppled toward Jiang Junsheng, drenching him in soup and water.
“Oh my God!” Ge Peiyao came back to her senses and exclaimed, quickly saying: “Boss, are you okay? Did you get scalded?”
Jiang Xinxin also asked concernedly: “Uncle, are you okay?”
Jiang Yueyao pursed her lips, took out her mobile phone, and called the family doctor: “Big brother, I’ll call the doctor to come check you.”
“I’m fine, not scalded.” Jiang Junsheng spoke to comfort them. He reacted quickly and dodged when the two plates fell, avoiding the freshly served soup.
But the meal could no longer be eaten.
He took a deep breath, called a servant to clean up, and said to Ge Peiyao: “Mom, rearrange the dishes. I’ll go upstairs to take a shower and change clothes.”
Ge Peiyao waved her hand: “Okay, okay, go quickly.”
Jiang Junsheng shook the peppercorns stuck to the back of his hand, carefully turned to leave, but suddenly stepped on a piece of potato, and his whole body fell forward.
A clear cracking sound came to Jiang Junsheng’s ears, and his face instantly turned pale.
Ge Peiyao suddenly stood up and ran toward him screaming: “Oh my God! Boss, you— Ah!!”
She forgot about the meal remnants on the ground, slipped, and fell heavily onto Jiang Junsheng, the two rolling into a heap.
A sharp pain came from Jiang Junsheng’s leg, so painful that he couldn’t help crying out.
Ge Peiyao also yelped in pain.
This chaotic scene scared Jiang Xinxin to tears: “Uncle, Grandmother, are you okay?”
Jiang Yueyao was also startled, comforted Jiang Xinxin a few words, got up to help them, but Jiang Junsheng quickly endured the pain to stop her: “Don’t come over! Don’t come over! Call 120 for the doctor!”
“Okay, okay!” Jiang Yueyao quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed 120.
Ten minutes later, the ambulance drove into Tai Gu Villa Area and took Jiang Junsheng and Ge Peiyao away.
Jiang Yueyao was afraid Jiang Xinxin would be scared at the hospital and didn’t go with them. She was just about to call Jiang Lixuan and Jiang Hengzhi to have them go to the hospital when the sound of a car engine came from outside.
Jiang Xinxin, nestled in Jiang Yueyao’s arms humming and crying, brightened her eyes, looked up toward the doorway: “Is Second Uncle back?”
She jumped down from Jiang Yueyao’s arms and ran to the doorway pattering: “Second Uncle, Big Uncle he…”
Before Jiang Xinxin finished shouting, she saw Jiang Lixuan bringing Nan Yuanman in, followed by a sullen-faced Jiang Hengzhi.
Seeing Nan Yuanman, she pouted unhappily, but upon seeing the wounds on Jiang Lixuan and Jiang Hengzhi’s faces, she exclaimed: “Second Uncle, Little Uncle, how did you get injured?”
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyao quickly walked over, looked at the disheveled states of Jiang Lixuan and Jiang Hengzhi, and frowned: “Second Brother, Little Brother, what happened? Did you fight someone?”
“It’s nothing.” Jiang Hengzhi squatted down to hug Jiang Xinxin: “Just a little friction with your Little Uncle, no big deal.”
Jiang Lixuan kept a cold face and didn’t answer, took out Nan Yuanman’s little slippers to help her put them on, gently pushed her back, his voice soft: “Perfection, go upstairs to take a bath and rest, okay?”
Nan Yuanman nodded, didn’t look at Jiang Yueyao and Jiang Xinxin, and ran inside with her short legs pattering.
Passing the messy dining room, Nan Yuanman met eyes with the excited Qiu Shi.
Qiu Shi’s eyes shone, calling her softly: “Miss Nan!”
Nan Yuanman blinked and walked toward her: “Sister Qiu Shi, you’re out of the hospital?”
“Mm-hmm.” Qiu Shi squatted in front of Nan Yuanman, speaking especially gratefully: “Miss, that day… thank you for saving me.”
If Nan Yuanman hadn’t passed by by chance, if she hadn’t helped her, then she…
Thinking of that serious consequence, Qiu Shi couldn’t help shivering all over, grateful from the bottom of her heart to Nan Yuanman, and also a bit ashamed. If she had listened to Nan Yuanman’s warning and not gone to the party, or not drunk that glass of wine…
Qiu Shi told Nan Yuanman that Liu Wei, Yu Meimei, and those two brothers were suspected of human trafficking and had been detained and sent to jail. They wouldn’t appear in front of her for the next three years.
“Miss Nan, I’ve always wanted to thank you in person, but these past two days I’ve been busy with that matter, so I was late. Thank you so much.” Qiu Shi said sincerely.
Nan Yuanman’s originally low mood improved again. Her pretty eyes curved, and she handed the dessert in her hand to Qiu Shi: “No need to thank me, that was also your luck. After safely passing this hurdle, days will be as sweet as this cake!”
Hearing this, Qiu Shi was stunned, her eyes instantly welling up with warmth, her heart feeling cozy: “Miss Nan…”
“Okay, you hold it. I’m going to take a bath.” Nan Yuanman stuffed the dessert into her hand and bounced upstairs.
Qiu Shi carefully held the dessert, and upon looking up, met the gazes of Jiang Lixuan and Jiang Hengzhi.
Qiu Shi: “…”
She smiled politely, carrying the dessert and the broken plates to be dealt with, and left the living room.
Jiang Hengzhi sneered, couldn’t help mocking: “As expected of Bai Wenyin’s child, good at using snacks and small favors to win people over.”
Jiang Lixuan touched the candy in his pocket, turned and kicked Jiang Hengzhi: “If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute.”
Jiang Hengzhi exploded completely: “Jiang Lixuan! Are you crazy tonight or what!”
“You’re not lightly ill either, always targeting a five-year-old kid. Shame on you, almost thirty and acting like a grown man! All height, no brains, huh?” Jiang Lixuan sneered back.
Jiang Xinxin bewilderedly and panickedly watched the two suddenly arguing uncles, instinctively seeking help from Jiang Yueyao: “Mom… the uncles…”
Jiang Yueyao frowned slightly: “Second Brother, Little Brother, what’s going on? Why are you suddenly arguing?”
Hearing her voice, Jiang Lixuan abruptly turned to look at her, eyes bloodshot, mouth opening and closing.
Looking at this face he had lived with for years, no matter how angry or upset Jiang Lixuan felt inside, he couldn’t say a harsh word to her.
Meeting Jiang Xinxin’s fearful gaze, Jiang Lixuan closed his eyes, breathed heavily, turned angrily, and strode upstairs.
Jiang Yueyao watched his back, an inexplicable bad premonition surging in her heart. She asked worriedly: “Second Brother, what’s wrong with Little Brother?”
“Who knows, ignore him, let him go crazy. In a couple days, have the old man come back to teach him a lesson.” Jiang Hengzhi patted the footprint left by Jiang Lixuan’s kick on him, saying grumpily.
Jiang Lixuan’s abnormal attitude made Jiang Yueyao feel somewhat uneasy inside. After thinking for a moment, she decisively sent a message to the person saved in her phone as [Father]…
–
When Jiang Lixuan returned upstairs, Nan Yuanman was just about to take clothes in to bathe. Seeing him come up so quickly, a hint of disappointment showed on her face.
Looks like they didn’t argue.
Jiang Lixuan awkwardly shifted his gaze, his smile ugly: “What’s wrong? Need Uncle’s help?”
“No.” Nan Yuanman replied coolly, hugged her clothes, and went to bathe.
Jiang Lixuan sat at the table, took two USB drives from his pocket and placed them on the desk, stared at them for a few seconds, then slapped himself.
He gripped his hair forcefully, muttering: “Last time, give her one last chance. As long as she admits her mistake to me in person and apologizes to Bai Wenyin, I won’t tell Father and Mother about this.”
Making this decision, Jiang Lixuan felt even more guilty toward Bai Wenyin and Nan Yuanman. When Nan Yuanman came out after bathing, he personally blow-dried her hair.
Nan Yuanman didn’t resist his care. She was small and couldn’t hold the hairdryer steady; why not let someone help?
Grandpa always said to enjoy the moment!
So she would enjoy it first.
Unfortunately, Jiang Lixuan couldn’t hold the fragrant soft little brat to sleep tonight. Jiang Hengzhi knocked to tell him that Jiang Junsheng and Ge Peiyao had fractured bones and were hospitalized needing care, asking him to go together.
Jiang Lixuan told Nan Yuanman to sleep first, then went out with Jiang Hengzhi again.
After he left, Nan Yuanman lying on the bed quietly pulled Zhuang Zhuang out from the small shoulder bag on the table, the one she had picked up from that messy dining table earlier. She tapped his head and asked softly: “Did you break that hateful ghost’s bone?”
Zhuang Zhuang nodded and whispered back: “He, bullied, you.”
Nan Yuanman was delighted: “Well done.”
Hmph, who told him to curse Mom. Heaven didn’t give him retribution, so she would!
Nan Yuanman happily covered herself with the little quilt and went to sleep. As she fell into deep sleep, several golden light spots slowly gathered at her Spiritual Platform.
After the golden light spots entered her Spiritual Platform, they spread to her limbs and body, silently strengthening her body.
The overflowing specks during the strengthening process all fell on Xiao Hong and Xiao Cao in the shoulder bag.
Xiao Hong’s already red color deepened a bit more.
She couldn’t help opening the coffin lid and fished out the sleeping old man from inside.
Old Master Nan lay on the carpet, golden light spots lightly falling on him, the purple on his face fading slightly…
Nan Yuanman slept an exceptionally comfortable sleep. Upon waking, she hugged the little quilt, sat on the bed with messy hair, looking somewhat bewildered.
She vaguely felt some changes had occurred in her body, but couldn’t find where the changes were.
The little brat had a big heart and didn’t take it to heart.
She groggily climbed down from the bed, and when preparing to go to the toilet, stepped on Old Master Nan lying on the carpet.
Old Master Nan jolted from her step and sat up with an “ow.”
“Grandpa?” Nan Yuanman stared at him dumbly. Huh? Yesterday when she slept, Grandpa was still fine inside Xiao Hong. When did he come out?
Realizing, she hurriedly tried to stuff him back into the coffin nervously: “Grandpa, you can’t come out yet. Go back, quick.”
Old Master Nan reluctantly hooked her sleeve with his sharp fingernails, wanting to stay a bit longer.
With a “rip,” the fingernails directly tore the little brat’s clothes.
Old Master Nan: “!!!”
He looked at Nan Yuanman panicked and at a loss, stammering: “Man Man, Man Man, clothes…”
“It’s okay, just change to another one. Grandpa, go back first. Later, I’ll let you out at night for some air, okay?” Nan Yuanman coaxed gently.
Old Master Nan didn’t dare linger, obediently nodded, and was put back into the small coffin by her.
Nan Yuanman breathed a sigh of relief, carefully stuffed the small coffin into the shoulder bag to hide it. While packing, she unintentionally took the two USB drives that Jiang Lixuan hadn’t put away last night into the shoulder bag.
Nan Yuanman slung the small shoulder bag over her shoulder, finished washing up, hummed a tune, and went downstairs for breakfast.
The downstairs dining room had a new dining table. When Nan Yuanman came down, she noticed Jiang Xinxin sitting at the table with an adult she hadn’t seen before.
Nan Yuanman paused slightly, looked up and met the gaze of the man sitting at the head of the dining table.
The man was handsome, but the wrinkles at his eye corners exposed his age.
Jiang Xinxin was drinking porridge obediently. Noticing Nan Yuanman coming down, a gloating smile appeared in her eyes.
Jiang Tianzong scrutinized Nan Yuanman up and down critically. Seeing her face so similar to his little daughter, his expression paused slightly: “What name did your mother give you?”
Nan Yuanman didn’t answer him, tilted her head and asked: “Who are you?”
“I am Bai Wenyin’s father, that is, your mother’s father, and also your Grandfather.”
A kind smile appeared on Jiang Tianzong’s face, beckoning her: “Hungry? Come, come eat breakfast.”
Jiang Tianzong’s attitude was different from the other Jiang family members. He looked very kindly at Nan Yuanman, but…
Nan Yuanman motionlessly watched the ghost soul following behind him, roaring at the back of his head and flailing claws. She was like a bristling cat, her round steamed bun face unable to help but become vigilant.
Seeing Nan Yuanman’s guarded look, Jiang Tianzong raised his brow slightly, amused inside, but didn’t force her: “Your big uncle and Grandmother are hospitalized, Little Uncle and Second Uncle went to care for them. If you want to see your uncles, you’ll have to wait a bit.”
“Grandfather was negligent. You’ve been back so many days, and I haven’t introduced you to outsiders yet. How about this: in three days, hold a family reunion banquet for you, okay?”
Nan Yuanman hesitated a moment and nodded: “Okay.”
“Good child, I’m done eating. What do you like? Have the kitchen bring it. Grandfather is going to rest first.” Jiang Tianzong smiled, got up and walked upstairs, gently touching her head as he passed Nan Yuanman.
He sighed softly: “You really look just like your mother.”
As soon as his hand touched her, Nan Yuanman felt as if touched by a cold slimy snake, full of resistance, but didn’t dare shake off his hand.
Jiang Tianzong finally patted her shoulder before going upstairs.
Nan Yuanman didn’t move, stood in place looking up as Jiang Tianzong entered the study room, her little mouth pursed tightly. Her animal-like instinct told her.
This man is very dangerous.
Nan Yuanman decisively picked up her little bag and turned to run out of the villa.
Second floor study room.
Jiang Tianzong stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Nan Yuanman’s short stout back with a smile on his face.
When he turned around, the smile instantly disappeared, and he expressionlessly raised his hand to slap Jiang Lixuan.
