Chapter 84: Paternity Test—you Don’t Have One? I Do!
The suddenly appeared stranger big brother made Nan Yuanman stunned for a moment. She looked up at him in a daze.
Feng Langqing winked at Nan Yuanman and said with a smile, “Kid, don’t be afraid. Big brother will stand up for you.”
Nan Yuanman was dumbfounded. Although she didn’t know why this stranger big brother had suddenly stepped in to help her, she still obediently thanked him, “Thank you.”
This obedient and cute appearance made Feng Langqing feel as if something had struck his heart. The smile on his face grew even brighter.
Jiang Tianzong’s face completely darkened. He said angrily, “How could our Jiang family do something so shameless! Second Young Master Feng, don’t spout nonsense!”
“Moreover, this is the Jiang family’s private matter. How to handle it is up to the Jiang family. You have no right to interfere!”
“Oh, look at that. Feeling guilty, huh? You don’t even dare to say who the kid’s mother is.” Feng Langqing sneered lightly, his expression mocking. “You say Nan Yuanman is Jiang Junsheng’s child. Then show the paternity test!”
Jiang Tianzong’s face was as black as ink. How could he possibly produce it?!
Besides, if he showed the paternity test, wouldn’t the truth come out?!
Nan Yuanman listened in a dazed manner. When she heard the words “paternity test,” she tried to understand for a few seconds, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
She raised her hand. “Paternity test? I have it! I have proof that I was born by my mom!”
As soon as she spoke, the little girl pulled out a spirit tablet from her small shoulder bag in front of everyone.
Nan Yuanman held up the spirit tablet like the Statue of Liberty raising her torch, trying hard to show it to the adults present. “Look! This is my mom’s spirit tablet!”
The adults present instinctively looked at her hand. When Jiang Lixuan saw what she was holding, his mind went completely blank.
Ge Peiyao’s pupils dilated, her legs went weak, and her body swayed, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Jiang Hengzhi was also stunned.
That was… Bai Wenyin’s spirit tablet…
She… really died?
Feng Langqing saw the little girl trying so hard to prove herself, and felt both heartbroken and amused.
How could a little girl carry a spirit tablet with her!
Feng Langqing’s throat tightened slightly. He carefully put the spirit tablet back into Nan Yuanman’s hand. “…How can you just take this out casually? No need for you to prove it. We have evidence.”
As he spoke, he turned back to look at Feng Yuli. Feng Yuli took a deep breath, stepped forward slowly, still wearing a mild and polite smile on his face, though it didn’t reach his eyes.
He handed the information to Jiang Tianzong, who had been shocked by the information in Feng Langqing’s words. “Mr. Jiang, take a look at this first, then decide if we have the right to interfere in Yuanman’s matter.”
Jiang Tianzong hesitated for a moment, took the document bag, opened it, and pulled out the information.
When he saw the information clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply. He looked incredulously at the bewildered Nan Yuanman.
This…
How is that possible?!
How could Nan Yuanman be the child of the Feng family patriarch?!
How did Bai Wenyin manage to latch onto Feng family members?!
“So?” Feng Yuli’s gaze cooled slightly. “Do we have the right to interfere now?”
Jiang Tianzong gripped the thin sheet of paper, feeling heavy inside. He forced a smile. “This… could it be a mistake? How could Yuanman be…”
Before he could finish, Feng Yuli said good-naturedly, “If Mr. Jiang doesn’t believe it, we can do another test. The Feng family will fully cooperate.”
Jiang Tianzong’s heart sank even further. Since Feng Yuli said that, it meant they had confirmed Nan Yuanman was that person’s daughter.
This was trouble. If Yuanman couldn’t be added to the Jiang family tree, then the Jiang family…
But now, falling out with the Feng family was not a good plan…
Compared to the Feng family, the Jiang family was still too weak…
Jiang Tianzong’s face flickered with indecision. After weighing it for a moment, he squeezed out a smile and softened his tone. “…This matter is too sudden. You two, shall we talk somewhere else?”
“I refuse.” Feng Langqing sneered. He wasn’t buying Jiang Tianzong’s act, but he also didn’t want Yuanman to be gossiped about.
He turned his head, looking at Jiang Yueyao who was standing stiffly in the crowd with a pale face turning green and white, and raised his brow. “The matter with Yuanman and us can be put aside for now, but… her. Your Jiang family must give us a solution.”
“From the audio, it seems Yuanman’s mother suffered a lot at her hands. She’s also suspected of hiring killers…”
Feng Langqing raised his brow. “Mr. Jiang, your Jiang family wouldn’t harbor a criminal, right?”
Jiang Yueyao felt both panicked and humiliated inside. Her body trembled lightly as she said somewhat angrily, “Second Young Master Feng, how can you convict me based on just an audio? What if that audio was AI voice synthesis made by someone to frame me and deliberately stir up strife between us Jiang family siblings?”
“Miss Jiang, don’t worry. I’ve already sent someone to get the USB from backstage. Whether it’s AI synthesis or not, a check will tell.” Feng Yuli adjusted his glasses and said warmly.
Jiang Yueyao’s heart skipped a beat. She guiltily cast a pleading look at Jiang Tianzong and the other Jiang family members.
Jiang Junsheng instinctively wanted to defend Jiang Yueyao, but was stopped by Jiang Yunjing.
He glared angrily at Jiang Yunjing, who gently shook his head at him.
This involved Feng family members. It was no longer something they could interfere in.
Jiang Tianzong had been domineering in S City for so many years, and this was the first time he was being cornered step by step. His face looked quite ugly, but he had to say, “…Of course. If the matter is true, the Jiang family won’t harbor any criminal.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyao’s face turned deathly pale. She knew Jiang Tianzong wanted to abandon her.
She said fearfully, “Dad, you can’t do this. Have you forgotten that I…”
Just as she was about to blurt out those words, Jiang Tianzong quickly signaled the bodyguard. “Take Miss down first to calm down.”
The bodyguard stepped forward and promptly covered Jiang Yueyao’s mouth, taking her away.
Feng Langqing raised his brow slightly. It seemed the Jiang family had other secrets…
With all this happening, the family reunion banquet couldn’t continue.
Jiang Tianzong could only have his assistant stay to entertain the guests while he took the Jiang family members and Nan Yuanman back to the top-floor suite.
Meng Qinian sneaked up to Nan Yuanman’s side, trying to squeeze out Feng Langqing, but got elbowed by him.
Feng Langqing dominantly took Nan Yuanman’s hand and sneered, “Stay away from my sister…”
He instinctively glanced at Nan Yuanman. Seeing her dazed expression, he pursed his lips and changed his words. “Stay away from Yuanman.”
“Hiss! So petty!” Meng Qinian rubbed his chest, winking at Nan Yuanman and whispering, “Yuanman, don’t be afraid. We’ll protect you and won’t let you be bullied!”
Nan Yuanman nodded obediently, pursing her lips as she looked at Feng Yuli walking ahead, then at the document bag in Jiang Tianzong’s hand.
She was young and couldn’t read all the characters yet, but she was slowly realizing something from the conversation between Jiang Tianzong and Feng Yuli.
But she didn’t know how to react, so she simply stayed silent.
After the group entered the suite, the other Jiang family members were still reeling from the spirit tablet of Bai Wenyin that Nan Yuanman had pulled out earlier.
Feng Yuli looked at Jiang Tianzong and said straightforwardly, “Mr. Jiang, we’re mainly here for Yuanman this time.”
“I want to take her back to the Feng family.”
