Chapter 83: Is Your Jiang Family Bullying A Child?
When the audio had just started playing, the Jiang family members and all the guests present didn’t react at all.
Until the audio continued playing: “After school, I’ll help you lure Jiang Lixuan to a good spot to make your move, so you can act against him without any worries, but I have one condition—if a girl named Bai Wenyin goes to save him, you must cripple her hand for me too…”
Jiang Tianzong and Ge Peiyao on stage realized something, their expressions instantly freezing; Ge Peiyao looked at Jiang Yueyao in shock, her face slightly pale.
What did this audio mean?
Back then, Little Five’s tendon was severed by someone Yao Yao had hired…?
Jiang Yueyao’s smug smile under the stage froze, her head buzzing as her face suddenly turned deathly pale; the wine glass in her hand shook loose and fell straight to the ground, shattering with a bang.
Jiang Yunjing was the first to snap back, the smile he usually wore on his face vanishing as he abruptly looked toward Jiang Yueyao.
Jiang Hengzhi was even more stunned.
Jiang Lixuan was dumbfounded—this, this wasn’t the audio from the USB drive he had gotten before? How could it suddenly be played??
Nan Yuanman listened, her steamed bun face slowly turning serious.
Jiang Junsheng reacted and immediately shouted at the assistant: “Quickly go turn off the audio playing backstage!”
“Okay, okay.” The assistant hurriedly ran toward backstage, but it was already too late; the content in the audio had finished playing.
All the guests present turned their gazes uniformly toward Jiang Yueyao and Jiang Lixuan, their eyes filled with mockery, disdain, contempt, and meaningful looks.
The young people curiously whispered: “Who is that Bai Wenyin?”
“I know her—she seems to be the Jiang family’s biological daughter, kidnapped when she was little; when they found her back, the Jiang family was lively for a while, but later no one knew where she went.”
“Tsk tsk, who would’ve thought Jiang Yueyao looks so innocent and harmless, but she’s actually a black-hearted white lotus! To frame Bai Wenyin, she was ruthless enough to have her own brother’s tendon severed.”
“I wonder what Jiang Lixuan is feeling now.”
The noblewomen scoffed lightly and gossiped in low voices: “I’d heard earlier that something happened to Jiang Lixuan, but I didn’t expect it was Jiang Yueyao who did it—tsk tsk, the Jiang family raised an ungrateful wolf.”
“Exactly, I remember Jiang Yueyao isn’t the Jiang family’s biological daughter—the other girl named Bai Wenyin is…”
The young people who had been standing beside Jiang Yueyao instinctively stepped back a distance.
The gossiping voices and the guests’ meaningful gazes were like sharp arrows, ruthlessly piercing through Jiang Yueyao’s body.
Making her feel as if her clothes had been stripped off, standing naked in place to be judged; Jiang Yueyao’s body swayed unsteadily, her face ghastly pale as she tried to explain: “No… it wasn’t me… I didn’t…”
She trembled all over, horrified inside—she hadn’t told Xin Xin to play the AI-synthesized messy “private life” audio of Bai Wenyin? Why was this audio playing instead?
Jiang Yueyao suddenly realized something and looked up at Jiang Lixuan, a flash of hatred in her eyes.
It was him!
It was Jiang Lixuan!
Only Jiang Lixuan had evidence of her mistake from back then in his hands! It must be him who had arranged everything ahead of Xin Xin.
He wanted to… destroy her!
Jiang Lixuan noticed Jiang Yueyao’s gaze; he looked straight at her without dodging or flinching.
Though he didn’t know how this audio had been played, he had to admit that upon hearing it, he felt no worry for Jiang Yueyao in his heart—only the pleasure of great revenge.
This was how it should be, letting everyone see her true face clearly.
The buzzing gossip in the banquet hall and the guests’ strange gazes nearly broke Jiang Tianzong’s usual calm demeanor; he tried hard to stay composed and spoke: “Sorry, that just now was an accident.”
“The content of the audio is the Jiang family’s private matter; after the family reunion banquet ends, I will verify its authenticity, so please, guests, do not gossip.”
Ge Peiyao forced a smile, wanting to speak, but her throat felt blocked by a stone, unable to say a word; she could only smile and nod in agreement.
Jiang Lixuan’s eyes dimmed, his hands at his sides clenching into fists.
“Now, our family reunion banquet continues…” Jiang Tianzong wanted to gloss over the matter and proceed with the family reunion banquet.
No matter what happened today, nothing could stop him from bringing Nan Yuanman back into the Jiang family!
Before he could finish, the always silent Nan Yuanman suddenly spoke: “Wait!”
Feng Yuli: “Wait!”
Two voices rang out at the same time; Nan Yuanman was slightly stunned, looking past the crowd toward Feng Yuli’s direction; when she saw him, her eyes brightened: “Brother Feng!”
Brother Feng had actually come too!
Feng Yuli gave the little girl a comforting smile, but when he looked at Jiang Tianzong, the smile didn’t reach his eyes: “This matter isn’t exactly the Jiang family’s private affair—it’s premeditated harm to others and must be handled by calling the police.”
“Otherwise, this wouldn’t be fair to Young Master Jiang or Miss Bai Wenyin mentioned in the audio.”
“Moreover, Miss Bai Wenyin is Yuanman’s biological mother, and today is Yuanman’s family reunion banquet—Mr. Jiang, you can’t just brush it off lightly like this, right?”
Jiang Tianzong had guarded against Jiang Lixuan in every way, constantly pressuring him to prevent a scene at the family reunion banquet, but he never expected the Feng family from Shangjing to suddenly intervene, catching him completely off guard.
The guests hadn’t expected Feng Yuli to suddenly drop such big gossip either; while puzzled about how he knew Nan Yuanman was Bai Wenyin’s daughter, they were especially excited to gossip in secret.
Dong Danqiu exclaimed: “What? Isn’t Nan Yuanman Jiang Junsheng’s daughter? How could she be Bai Wenyin’s child…”
Could it be…
Jiang Junsheng and Bai Wenyin…**?!
Jiang Junsheng’s face also stiffened; his hand on the wheelchair armrest clenched tightly as he forced a smile toward Feng Yuli: “Young Master Feng, this… isn’t there a misunderstanding? Yuanman… she’s my daughter?”
Nan Yuanman: “???”
The little girl was baffled and bluntly tore down his facade without any regard: “I’m not your daughter! Don’t go claiming daughters randomly!”
Jiang Junsheng inwardly seethed with hatred but helplessly reached out toward Nan Yuanman, trying to cover her mouth while saying misleading words: “Yuanman, I know you resent me for not finding you back in time all these years, but you can’t deny your father.”
Nan Yuanman’s little brows furrowed tightly as she stepped back, dodging Jiang Junsheng’s outstretched hand: “I already told you not to claim children randomly—I have a mother, my mother is Bai Wenyin, and she’s your biological sister.”
“Are you trying to steal your biological sister’s child?”
Jiang Tianzong stepped forward, reaching out to hold Nan Yuanman down while giving her a warning look: “You child, how can you be so disobedient…”
Before his hand could touch Nan Yuanman’s shoulder, it was grabbed by a large hand from the side; Feng Langqing’s voice came with a hint of sarcasm: “I must say, your Jiang family is really something—the foster daughter frames the son and you ignore it, now the big brother wants to steal his sister’s biological child.”
Feng Langqing looked down at Jiang Tianzong, his gaze icy: “Do you think the child is young and easy to bully?”
“Or did you tie up the child’s mother, or kill the child’s mother, to dare hold this banquet and lie in front of everyone!”
