Chapter 25

Su Nan felt this was retribution. Because he had been unfilial, because he had been blinded by love, because he had fallen for trash like Feng Yang—this was his punishment.

After being reborn, the only thought filling Su Nan's mind was revenge against Feng Yang. Even if it meant perishing with Feng Yang in a sea of flames. Yet he had never expected Feng Yang to save him this time. After Su Nan got into the ambulance, Feng Yang had even thoughtfully called his godfather and godmother, saving Su Zhenbang and his wife from the fate of dying in a car accident.

All these changes left Su Nan with mixed feelings.

He no longer knew what kind of person Feng Yang really was.

Did Feng Yang truly hate him? If so, why had he saved him from the fire? If he wanted to save him, why had he tortured him so cruelly in his previous life? Could a person really change so much in just a few years?

Seeing Su Nan staring fixedly at Feng Yang, his expression shifting unpredictably, Feng Jianguo and the others exchanged glances.

It seemed this child still couldn't let go of their Feng Yang. That wouldn't do!

Feng Jianguo cleared his throat. "Yangyang, your brother is swamped over there. Go help him receive the relatives. And all your teachers are here, right? Once the banquet starts, take your parents to toast your teachers."

Then he smiled at Feng Yang's classmates and Yin Li's group. "You're all Yangyang's good friends, so make yourselves at home. Eat whatever you want. If there's something you want that isn't here, ask the servers for it. Don't be polite."

Everyone thanked him repeatedly.

Only Su Nan noticed that after hearing Father Feng's words, Feng Yang had actually pulled Yin Li along with him to greet the guests.

In his previous life, that treatment had belonged to him.

At that thought, Su Nan's expression darkened further.

Chapter 25

"Your classmate has been staring at us."

Yin Li poked Feng Yang in the waist with a finger, feeling as though Su Nan's gaze was about to burn through his back. "He seems really hostile toward us?"

"There's something wrong with his head!" Feng Yang frowned. Thinking of Su Nan's inexplicably strange luck and the vicious ghost's excessively tragic fate, he quietly warned, "Stay away from him."

"Okay." Yin Li nodded obediently. He recalled what he had heard while chatting with Feng Yang's classmates earlier. Apparently, Feng Yang and Su Nan had grown up together and were especially close. Feng Yang had even saved Su Nan's life at the haunted house. So why was Su Nan acting so strangely?

Yin Li was curious, and he also cared a little about the relationship between Feng Yang and Su Nan. But he did not dare ask, afraid that Feng Yang would find him annoying.

With a belly full of questions, Yin Li met every elder of the Feng Family under Feng Yang's introduction. He had a good personality, was handsome, and had a sweet tongue. He was especially skilled at making elderly people happy. Coupled with the Yin family's influence, he charmed every Feng Family elder in a single round. Feng Yang's maternal grandfather, Yang Qingyuan, even offered to teach Yin Li landscape painting and told Feng Yang to take Yin Li to the countryside for fun.

"Now is the best time to come. The fruit in the orchard is ripe, and it's at its freshest. You can go up the mountain to catch rabbits and down to the river to catch fish. Da Fei and Yangyang come back every summer vacation and run wild all over the hills."

As Yang Qingyuan spoke, he suddenly remembered something. "Right, where's Xiao Nan? Don't you come back with Xiao Nan every year? Bring him along too. You're all young people—it's more lively when you get together."

"Grandpa!" Feng Fei cut Yang Qingyuan off. He had been planning to explain after the banquet that Feng Yang and Su Nan had fallen out. But Su Nan, who had been watching Feng Yang's every move, came over.

"Grandpa Yang!" Su Nan greeted Yang Qingyuan sweetly and obediently. "Have you been well lately? Has your blood pressure gone up? Has your heart been bothering you?"

At Su Nan's words, Feng Yang's expression turned ugly. Yang Qingyuan had severe hypertension and heart disease. In his previous life, Su Nan had inexplicably gone mad in the haunted house, causing Feng Yang to be disfigured and severely burned. Both sets of parents had also been in a car accident while rushing to the hospital. When Yang Qingyuan suddenly received the terrible news, he suffered a heart attack and could not be saved. Within days, Feng Yang's grandmother endured the crushing blows of losing her husband, daughter, son-in-law, and eldest grandson, while her younger grandson was left disfigured and driven mad. Less than half a year later, she too died in grief.

Feng Yang did not know what Su Nan's purpose was in asking those questions, but he had always been willing to judge Su Nan's motives with the greatest malice.

"Come outside with me!" Feng Yang said coldly, his face livid. He could not even be bothered to care that this was the Feng Family's entrance banquet, or that Su Nan was a guest.

Yang Qingyuan also noticed that the atmosphere between the two children was off. But children usually squabbled one day and made up the next, so he did not pay it much mind. Smiling, he watched the two leave the banquet hall one after the other.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Even someone as calculating as Feng Yang could not hide his disgust when facing Su Nan.

Or rather, Feng Yang simply did not want to hide it.

Su Nan sneered. "What, you've set your sights on the eldest young master of Yin Corporation, so you can't wait to dump me?"

"If there's something wrong with your head, go see a psychiatrist." In Feng Yang's memories, other than the feud between their families, he and Su Nan had no other connection. He could not understand where Su Nan got such certainty, or why he was so convinced Feng Yang was some heartless betrayer.

"There's nothing wrong with my head. There's something wrong with your character!" Su Nan retorted sharply. "Feng Yang, don't think I'll be grateful just because you saved me from the fire. You owed me this."

"Because of that story you made up in the fire?" Feng Yang raised a brow. "Su Nan, do you really take everyone for fools?"

"Even if you wanted to stage an accident, you should at least make it look convincing. You lured me into the most secluded prop room in the haunted house. After the haunted house caught fire, instead of escaping, you inexplicably went mad and tried to kill me. The only reason I haven't reported you for attempted murder is out of consideration for the friendship between our families over so many years. Even if the haunted house surveillance footage was destroyed, you wouldn't deny what you did yourself, would you?"

"Lastly, don't forget who carried you out of that fire." Feng Yang sneered. "The one who keeps talking about repaying kindness with ingratitude is actually you, isn't it?"
