Chapter 3: Reversal of Temperament

  Fenghua had a dream, one about others, but more about "herself". In the dream, she was a girl named Chen Fenghua, born into a wealthy family from a young age, with everything going smoothly, having two doting older brothers and parents who loved her dearly. But for some reason, she insisted on following behind someone named Leng Junyi, content to be his little sidekick.

  It was even more so because Leng Junyi had done something stupid three to five times, this time when Leng Junyi announced that he had a fiancée, Chen Fenghua, the girl with a name similar to his own, actually committed suicide in anger. Everyone thought it was another one of his capricious jokes, but only Fenghua knew that her soul had really disappeared.

  "Baby, Mommy's here to see you. Are you feeling a bit better?" A large bouquet of flowers came into view, and Gong Fangling's face, still beautiful despite being middle-aged, peeked out from behind them, looking somewhat comical.

  "Mom, you're here." Feng Hua said with a hint of guilt, after all, he had occupied someone else's body, which was equivalent to borrowing a corpse to revive his soul. Facing the "host"'s biological mother naturally made him feel a bit awkward.

  "Baby, you don't call me Mommy anymore, it makes Mommy so sad."

  Facing a woman who seemed to live forever in TV dramas, Feng Hua had no choice but to surrender.

  "Mommy." A sweet and sticky voice was forced out.

  "Good girl." Gong Fangling's tone was cheerful and smiling, starting to nag "Baby, your complexion seems to have improved a bit, the doctor in charge also said that your wound is healing well, so we can be discharged from the hospital, this place has all sorts of strange smells, it's really depressing, let's go home early, hey, don't you guys have any sense, hurry up and help your sister up, honestly, not friendly at all, Mom gave birth to both of you for nothing."

  The next sentence, however, was directed at her two "unfilial" sons, with a change of face that could rival Sichuan opera. Fortunately, Chen Yige and Chen Yixin were already accustomed to their mother's unpredictability, so they just rubbed their noses and cooperated with each other.

  One helped her up from the bed with a flourish, while another knelt down on the ground to help her put on her shoes.

  Watching the two chairmen of Fenghua Finance and Huakang Airlines personally serving her, Fenghua felt like Cinderella in a fairy tale, gently putting on crystal shoes, from then on possessing everything girls dreamed of in life.

  If outsiders were to see the two Chen family members, who are described as "cold and ruthless" and "thousand-year-old ice block", doting on their little sister like this, they would be shocked and stare blankly at everything in front of them, fearing that this beautiful dream would shatter like a bubble.

  "Oh, it seems like nothing serious after all. I thought this time was for real."

  There were people who didn't know better coming to stir up trouble. Feng Hua, or rather the current Chen Feng Hua, turned her head around, and a tall man's shadow was reflected in her eyes. Along with that came a pungent smell of cosmetics, almost making Feng Hua recall her former agent.

  "Darling." The strange woman's voice trembled slightly, completely disregarding the goosebumps that rose on everyone's skin in the hospital room. "You promised to go shopping with me, how did you end up here?" To express her utmost disgust, the woman curled up her pinky finger and pinched her nose, her big eyes batting with false eyelashes rolling her eyes.

  "Alright, let's watch the show and leave afterwards." Leng Junyi patted the beauty's face to comfort her, not even willing to give Chen Fenghua, who had died for him, a glance out of the corner of his eye.

  "Is that enough? Not done yet?" Chen Yixin sneered coldly, "It seems the Cold family's recent stock market losses aren't painful enough for you to have the leisure to accompany someone shopping."

  "And it's not with your unmarried wife, huh? But with this woman who has eye problems, stinky woman. You try speaking again, don't think that just because you're being protected by that surname Leng, you can be a gossiping woman." Chen Yige grasped Feng Hua's shoulder, although his words were sarcastic, but his body slightly leaned forward, blocking in front of Feng Hua, apparently afraid she would get hurt again.

  "Leng Shao, look at them." The woman trembled with fear, although she didn't dare say anything more excessive, but her words were light and urgent, obviously hoping that Leng Junyi would stand up for her.

  But at this moment, Leng Junyi's face didn't look much better either. He had always thought that as long as Chen Fenghua was around, the Chen family wouldn't dare to make a move on him. After all, the Chen family loved their daughter dearly, but he hadn't expected that this time Chen Yixing would be able to make such a ruthless move in the stock market, really making the Leng family lose face.

  "A mouthful of air stuck in his chest, Leng Junyi glared at Chen Fenghua with a fierce expression. 'Hmph, didn't you try to kill yourself? Now look at you, living it up and trying to get my attention with this kind of method. If word gets out, people will think the Leng family is falling apart. You may not care about your face, but we do.'"

  "You." Chen Yixing suddenly became furious, how did the Leng family raise such an uneducated person? It's all because of Feng Hua, this foolish woman who has been infatuated to no avail.

  "You think you're something." Chen Fenghua's words cut off her brother's roar, but the words in her mouth made everyone in the ward stunned. Is this still the woman who regarded Leng Junyi as heaven and didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of him?

  Facing the puzzled eyes of those around him, Chen Fenghua smiled and said, "Mom, brother, don't look at me like that. This time, I've thought a lot about it, and I won't be heartbroken for some people who think they're superior anymore. After all, I have such a happy family, you always give me warmth, but I was indulging in emotions that shouldn't be. It's ridiculous, I think I should wake up from this joke."

  "Sister." Both brothers were somewhat shocked. It's said that people who have come close to death often change their temperament after being reborn, could it be that sister has finally woken up?

  "Call me Mommy." Gong Fangling's pitiful gaze made Chen Fenghua surrender, calling out "Mommy" several times before being let off.

  In the warm and harmonious scene, Leng Junyi became a backdrop, the woman turned her eyes and opened her mouth with a sweet voice "Dear, let's hurry up, time is running out."

  The woman apparently sensed that the atmosphere was not right and prepared to pull Young Master Leng away, but she touched someone's nerves, and a bellyful of anger finally had an outlet.

  "Get out!"

  Leng Junyi's thunderous roar frightened the woman, causing her body to shrink in fear. She couldn't understand why he suddenly changed his attitude and stormed off. All she could do was sigh inwardly at her bad luck and turn around to leave, deciding to wait until Leng Junyi cooled down before coming back to see him again. At this critical moment, she didn't have the courage to speak up. What a pity that she had set her eyes on that famous watch the other day! Alas, maybe she should ask Wang Zong if he would be willing to buy it for her instead.

  Although he is not as handsome as Leng Shao, fortunately, he is still quite generous. No, wait, it seems like he's involved in that female celebrity's scandal, so it's better to avoid him for now.

  Without the choking scent of perfume, Chen Fenghua let out a sigh of relief and could finally breathe properly. Leng Junyi's face was as cold as his name suggested, his eyes didn't even blink as he stared at Chen Fenghua, as if a flower had bloomed on her face.

  "You've played enough of this 'loose rein' trick."

  Chen Fenghua, who was enjoying her brother's diligent service, was choked by this sentence and coughed repeatedly. The water cup in his hand was quickly taken away, and Chen Yi Ge gently patted his sister's back, staring at the shameless man in front of the bed with a sharp gaze.

  "How boring, think whatever you want, just pretend I'm playing hard to get. Would you please leave quietly and don't make a scene?"

  "Hahaha." The sound of Chen's family bursting into laughter came from the ward, Leng Junyi's face turned iron-green, he lifted his foot and walked away, stopping at the door and turning around to look coldly at the woman on the hospital bed.

  "Chen Fenghua, don't regret it."

  Threats? Hasn't Feng Hua faced enough threats in the entertainment industry from the beginning? Back then, she was a nobody with no background, no powerful connections, and no influential friends. She still managed to keep her integrity intact despite being surrounded by numerous directors, producers, screenwriters, and investors who posed a threat to her. Now that she has S City as a solid backing, would she be afraid of anyone?

  A faint smile on her face, but the words from Feng Hua's mouth were not calm at all. "Cold Da Shao, don't worry, even if there was only one man left on earth, I would still choose the earth over you."

  "What a sharp-tongued little girl, I really misjudged you at first." Amidst the laughter, Leng Junyu gazed at the woman with a hint of resentment, as if trying to imprint her into his memory.

  Lying serenely on the sickbed, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and in the sunlight outside the window, she was like an angel fallen to earth. How did she grow up to be such a stunning beauty? Why did he always think of her as a timid and shy little girl in his impression back then?

  "It's getting late, I won't see you off." Chen Fenghua spoke again, her voice crisp and pleasant.

  Leng Jun's eyes dimmed, and he forcibly suppressed the dull pain that couldn't be expressed in his heart, finally leaving.
