Chapter 384: Very Suspicious
Feng Yun was actually only a few months older than Feng Xu. The first time they met was when the two of them were six years old.
Back then, Feng Qing wanted Feng Li to return the a.s.sets that his wife had left to Feng Li and were taken away when he left the Feng Family. Hence, he called Feng Li to the hospital under the excuse that Feng Xu was seriously ill and the Feng Family brought the sick Feng Xu to the capital for treatment.
Although Feng Xu was a little weak from his illness at that time, he was still conscious. Only then did he know that he still had an uncle. It was also the first time he had seen his uncle and older brother.
Feng Qing and the others were unreasonable and wanted the a.s.sets that Feng Li"s mother left to him. Feng Li naturally didn"t give them to them, so Feng Qing and the others pestered them endlessly.
Feng Li should have left under such circ.u.mstances, but he didn"t.
He still went to the ward to visit Feng Xu and said some comforting and encouraging words like "rest well and get better".
Feng Xu had probably never seen such a special and gentle person before and he had remembered him for so many years with just that one meeting.
Even Feng Yun, who was around Feng Li"s age, remembered it.
Speaking of which, Feng Xu was Feng Hua"s son, but his temperament was not like Feng Hua at all. Instead, he was a little similar to Feng Yun. And Feng Yun inherited his temperament from his father, Feng Li. It was because Feng Li had a huge influence on Feng Xu so unknowingly, Feng Xu had become closer to Feng Li.
"No, I"ve seen you twice when we were young."
"Once was when I was young, and the other time was eleven years ago…"
Feng Yun"s smile remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened for a moment.
Seeing that he wasn"t affected, Feng Xu continued, "You were lying in the ward unconscious at that time."
The Yin Family sent the news of Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt"s accident and Eldest Brother being seriously injured and unconscious back to the Feng Family. No one in the Feng Family cared about it. At that time, he was only 14 years old. He couldn"t make decisions for the elders, so he went to the capital alone to visit them.
He saw his brother in the intensive care unit. It was said that he had been in the operating theater for a day and a night before he barely survived.
After that, the Feng Family found out that he had gone to the capital to visit his brother, so they got someone to bring him back forcefully.
He didn"t even get to see his brother get out of danger.
Fortunately, after a few months, the Yin Family sent another message saying that his brother had already been discharged and returned to the Yin Family.
Because he had once sneaked to the capital once before, his family had been very strict with him. He had never found a chance to go to the capital again until the end of the college entrance examination and he got into the Imperial Capital University.
When he reported to the Imperial Capital University, he immediately went to the Yin Family after his parents who sent him to school left.
However, he did not see his brother.
The Yin Family said that Eldest Brother had been living in seclusion since he came back from the hospital and even Old Master Yin had not seen him for a long time.
"So you even visited me back then."
"At that time, Brother was… You"re very good now. This is very good." His brother looked lifeless when he saw him the second time. He had always remembered him for so many years.
Although he had long known that his brother was fine, his impression of him had always been the one which he lay in the ward fighting for his life.
He was finally relieved now that he saw his brother standing in front of him.
"You"re Feng Li"s son?!" Lu Ping was still holding onto a sliver of hope that he wasn"t. Lu Ping couldn"t sit still anymore when she heard Feng Xu call him elder brother and he didn"t object.
Feng Yun looked up. "My father"s name is indeed Feng Li."
He was clearly smiling warmly, but when his gaze landed on her, Lu Ping inexplicably shuddered.
She cursed inwardly.
"Why are you in the Feng Family? Your father has already cut ties with the Feng Family. You have nothing to do with the Feng Family anymore!"
"I know very well that Father has cut off all ties with the Feng Family. There"s no need for Old Madam Feng to remind me. If Old Madam Feng wants to know why I"m in the Feng Family, you can ask Old Master Feng."
"Old man, what does he mean?" Lu Ping was very uneasy. She only prayed that Feng Qing didn"t call Feng Yun back.
However, Feng Qing"s words made her heart drop.
Feng Qing said, "I asked him to come back."
He was indeed the one who called Feng Yun back. However, he only contacted the Yin Family to try his luck. After all, Feng Yun had been cooped up for many years and even the Yin Family"s members rarely saw him. He didn"t expect him to really call him back.
Feng Qing ignored Lu Ping"s angry and indignant expression and looked at her warningly. He stopped her from saying what she wanted to say and then his sharp gaze landed on Feng Yun. "Since you"re back, why didn"t you use your own ident.i.ty? Why did you enter the Feng Family as Miss Yan"s older brother?"
"Use my own ident.i.ty?"
Feng Yun smiled faintly. "Who am I? How many servants in the Feng Family know that the Feng Family once had a young master who was chased out of the house? How many people know that the young master who was chased out of the house still had an orphan? If I say that I"m the young master of the Feng Family, doesn"t Old Master Feng think that I"ll be chased away like a lunatic?"
His face was gentle, and his tone was neither fast nor slow, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Feng Qing was successfully silenced by him.
"Of course, the Feng Family would only let me in faster if I reported Yu"er"s name. After all, Yu"er is considered a guest in the Feng Family now."
"You call her Yu"er, and she calls you cousin. Who exactly is she?" Lu Ping suddenly asked.
Then everyone looked at her like she was an idiot.
Her surname was Yan and she called Feng Yun cousin. The old lady actually still had not realized who she was?
Even if she really didn"t know, was this the time to ask that?
Even Lu Yuan looked at Lu Ping with disdain.
Feng Qing looked at Lu Yuan with an extremely unfriendly gaze. At this moment, Feng Lun, who had been standing silently at the side, finally spoke, "Mom, that"s the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City, the fiancée of the Second Young Master of the Yin Family in the capital. That"s why she called Yun"er cousin."
This "Yun"er" sounded very weird.
Because it was Feng Lun who said it.
And Feng Lun was the coldest, strongest, and most mysterious person in the Feng Family.
Initially, Lu Ping was a little shocked when he suddenly called her "Mom". When she heard his words, Lu Ping could not calm down for a long time.
Others might not feel much when the Second Young Master of the Yin Family was mentioned, but when they thought of the other name of the Second Young Master of the Yin Family—Master Nine, it could scare a large group of people.
And Lu Ping was obviously one of them.
Thinking about the first time she saw Yan Jinyu and felt that she was pure and beautiful and even had designs on her, Lu Ping was terrified now.
She decided to discard her pride. "So, so you"re the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City. I"ve been neglecting you recently. I hope you won"t take it to heart, Eldest Miss Yan."
Yan Jinyu revealed a huge smile. "Of course, I won"t take it to heart. Look, didn"t I mention all the things that I felt I had neglected? Old Master Feng and Old Madam Feng have already dealt with the two servants who don"t know the rules. They even got the butler to add something to Feng Qin"s courtyard."
"You"ve done very well and I"ve always been a magnanimous person, so I won"t fuss over it."
"On the other hand, Old Madam Feng has to be more polite with Cousin Feng Yun. He"s not alone. He has the entire Yin Family behind him. Oh, right, Brother Nine has had a very good relations.h.i.+p with Cousin Feng Yun since he was young."
Before the others could do anything, Feng Yun chuckled.
He knew this girl"s temper. If he was only Bai Ye, she would definitely not interfere in his matters, let alone say such protective words.
She was only like this because he had another ident.i.ty—Jin"s cousin.
She was really good to Jin. She loved him so much.
Feng Yun"s laughter attracted everyone"s attention, including Yan Jinyu"s.
Yan Jinyu looked at him and smiled with narrowed eyes.
Feng Yun stopped laughing.
Alright, no matter how much she loved him, her temper remained unchanged.
She was someone he could not afford to offend.
The others were surprised that someone as outstanding as Feng Yun would also laugh so groundedly. They were even more surprised by Yan Jinyu"s words.
Especially Lu Ping. Her heart even trembled.
It was fear.
"Back to the topic. I wonder why Old Master Feng called me to the Feng Family?"
"This is your home. What"s wrong with calling you back? Must something happen before I can call you back?" Sir had mentioned Feng Yun to him again a few days ago. Feng Xu was really disobedient, so he had the intention of bringing Feng Yun back again.
He was trying his luck, but he didn"t expect him to really return.
Others didn"t know why, but Feng Hua knew.
Hence, the person who was the most unhappy to see Feng Yun here was Feng Hua.
He knew very well that this d.a.m.n old man called Feng Yun back to replace his son!
Xu"er was getting increasingly outrageous. It was fine if he was obsessed with academics and not on the same page as them, but now, he was actually so enthusiastic about Feng Yun, the person who was about to replace him!
Feng Hua glared at Feng Xu.
Unfortunately, Feng Xu didn"t see that.
Feng Xu"s full attention was on Feng Yun.
He was happy to see Feng Yun now.
"Old Master Feng, you"re wrong. Since my father has cut ties with the Feng Family, I naturally can"t be considered a member of the Feng Family."
"Who said that your father has cut ties with the Feng Family? Go outside and ask around. Which media has reported it? Back then, your father and I had some misunderstandings and left home. We didn"t cut ties. Unfortunately, before the misunderstanding could be resolved, he…"
At this point, Feng Qing looked very pained.
Seeing this, Feng Yun"s impression of him did not improve. Not only that, his gentle gaze even became very sharp for a moment.
How could a person who was involved with Liu Guang still have the face to pretend to be sad over his father"s death?
Back then, many people had failed to find Ghost Slaughter Island and yet his parents found out where Ghost Slaughter Island was. He didn"t believe that there was nothing fishy about this!
He couldn"t find the reason before he found out that Liu Guang was involved with the Feng Family. After finding out that Liu Guang might be hiding in the Feng Family now, he had some leads.
Perhaps, the Feng Family was behind his parents" deaths back then!
However, looking at Feng Qing, he didn"t seem to know that he had been abducted by Ghost Slaughter Island. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have called him to the Feng Family if he knew that he had a grudge with Liu Guang.
Since he didn"t even know that he had been abducted by Ghost Slaughter Island, it was unlikely that his parents" deaths were related to Feng Qing.
But it was very likely related to someone in the Feng Family!
How could there be so many coincidences? It was simply deliberate!
His parents" job was special, but it was impossible for them to accurately find Ghost Slaughter Island"s location and successfully enter Ghost Slaughter Island to save him.
If Ghost Slaughter Island was so easy to deal with, it wouldn"t have stood strong for so many years.
However, his parents did it.
No matter how he thought about it, it felt strange.
He looked over. "But that"s not what I heard from Father."
