Jiang Yu nodded in acknowledgement. She had just been informed by Jiang Ze Yu this morning after all.

Jiang Cheng Lang had already prepared a rough breakdown of the Feng family in his head and was about to launch into his speech when he stopped himself. This was not the answer he had expected.

He was momentarily stunned before he regained his posture. He cleared his throat and said: “Alright, since you know who they are, I will get straight to the point.”

“The head of the Feng family, Master Feng, has recently found his fifth child. You should have heard of this.”

Jiang Wan nodded. “I’ve heard of him. They call him the Fifth Young Master.”

“Yes, he’s a son.”

Jiang Cheng Lang did not say out loud that this person was an illegitimate child. This illegitimate child was able to join the Feng family, he must be someone of great influence.

Master Feng has been the head of the Feng family for many years now and he was no fool. The same could be said for his wife, Madam Feng.

To be able to bring this illegitimate child into the home under Madam Feng’s nose and to even give him a formal title? Jiang Cheng Lang could not even begin to guess Master Feng’s plan.

He knew not only that Master Feng had an illegitimate child, he was also the only one who had wished to bring him into the family. On top of that, he heard that the other party was disabled. That serves to prove one thing.

This Fifth Young Master Feng was a powerful man.

“The Feng family is preparing to host a welcome party for the Fifth Young Master. They have invited all the top VIPs. Our Jiang family is invited of course.”

Jiang Wan asked excitedly, “Big Brother, by telling us this, does that mean we get to go too?”

“The Feng family has extended us two invitations. Of the other three sons of this family, one has blocked me and the other two have declined. So, there is still one invitation left. What do you think?”

Jiang Cheng Lang added, “Oh right, Xiao Yu, I forgot to formally tell you. You have three other older brothers. One of them has become a doctor, another a singer, and the last goes to the same school as you. I heard he is in fact in the same class as you. You should have met him already.”

“The other two are not in Beijing right now. I have asked them to return but they have been delayed by personal matters. I have asked them to come back once they have settled their affairs. It might take some time though.”

Jiang Yu shrugged. “I’m fine with that.”

“Now then, back to the matter of the Feng family banquet. Any thoughts?”

Jiang Wan crossed her fingers under the table.

Of course she wanted to go to the banquet.

“How about… Letting Big Sister go this time?” Jiang Wan chewed on her lip. “Although I really want to go, I’ve been to many parties before but Big SIster has not.”

“Big Sister has just returned to the Jiang family as well, so many people don’t even know what she looks like. Big Brother, you should take this opportunity and introduce her to people during the party.”

Jiang Wan dropped her gaze and said, “No need to consider me. I will be fine. You can tell me all about the party when you return home.”

After saying her piece, Jiang Wan squeezed out a small smile but her skin was as pale as a sheet of paper.

Jiang Yu silently praised Jiang Wan. She indeed was a little white lotus.

She had managed to say all that in such a pragmatic way and her attitude was so humble. There was no mistaking that she was an important supporting character of this book, sometimes even overshadowing the male lead for the title of main character.

Jiang Yu replied plainly, “I am not going. You can go.”

“How can that be?”

Jiang Wan said hesitantly, “I really do not mind. Big Sister, you don’t have to consider me. I know you’re introverted and would rather not attend such occasions but you will have to go sometime or another. This time, Big Brother will be there with you. Sister, you have to go.”
