Feng Jingcheng and Nan Yuanman both turned to look at Feng Zining, the two of them wearing the same gossipy expressions.
Feng Zining's face darkened slightly, and he denied it in a deep voice: "This... ma'am, I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I've never been in a relationship and I've never had a girlfriend. I'm not yours..."
He paused slightly before reluctantly saying the rest of his sentence: "Brother Zining, you must have confused me with your boyfriend."
However... Sheng Hanxiang... this name does sound somewhat familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before, or perhaps seen it before.
Sheng Hanxiang became agitated, her ghostly aura dissipating, and the temperature in the office plummeted: "I didn't mistake you! I still have the love letter you wrote yourself! Look!"
As Sheng Hanxiang spoke, a sinister aura condensed in her hand into a pink letter with a heart on it and the words "Presented to Sheng Hanxiang by Feng Zining" in large characters.
Feng Jingcheng mustered his courage and took a closer look, then turned to Feng Zining with a swift movement: "Big brother, this... really came from you? The signature on it is the same as yours!"
Feng Zining's face darkened slightly. He raised his hand and pushed away this troublemaking scoundrel, then frowned and carefully examined the signature on the letter: "This is not my handwriting."
Sheng Hanxiang, whose face was full of eager anticipation, paused, her eyes widening in disbelief, and exclaimed, "Not yours? How could it not be yours? This is clearly yours!"
Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her dark, ghostly aura faintly glowed with a red light: "You were the one who responded to my love letter in high school! You were the one who agreed to be my girlfriend!"
"Feng Zining! You've taken advantage of me and now you're going to abandon me? You heartless bastard!"
Feng Jingcheng exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected you to be this kind of older brother!"
Feng Zining: "..."
Veins bulged on his forehead, and he couldn't help but kick Feng Jingcheng: "If you can't speak, then shut your mouth and be a mute!"
Finally, he turned to Sheng Hanxiang with exceptional sincerity: "Madam, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us..."
"What misunderstanding? There's no misunderstanding at all!" Sheng Hanxiang's eyes gradually turned bloodshot, her body surging with ghostly energy, and water continuously seeping from beneath her: "I should have known! You're just like them! Equally despicable! I was foolish, always believing that you were truly willing to put aside social class differences and be with me..."
She muttered to herself, as if recalling some unpleasant scene, her expression gradually becoming ferocious, and the ghostly power emanating from her body slowly turning red.
"Sizzle—!"
The temperature in the office suddenly dropped, and the lights flickered due to the ghostly power. Nan Yuanman stepped forward, his round and chubby little body blocking Feng Zining and Feng Jingcheng. He threw a talisman between his two fingers at Sheng Hanxiang.
The talisman landed on Sheng Hanxiang, like a basin of cool water, extinguishing the anger in her heart and pulling her wavering reason back.
"Sister, have you calmed down now? I believe my fourth brother is not the kind of person who starts something and then abandons it. There must be some misunderstanding between you two. Why don't you calm down and have a good talk about where this misunderstanding lies?"
Nan Yuanman's voice was childish, yet it carried a maturity beyond her years: "You don't want the person who hurt you to continue to get away with it, do you?"
She paused, then added, "Of course, if you can't calm down on your own, I can help you."
Feng Zining looked at the small figure blocking his way, negotiating with the female ghost with remarkable skill. His eyes were somewhat dazed, and he seemed to hear the sound of his materialistic values collapsing over the past twenty years.
Sheng Hanxiang trembled as she recalled the burning pain when her soul was struck by the talisman. The faintly out-of-control ghost power gradually subsided. She bit her lip, glanced at Feng Zining, and stubbornly said, "I didn't lie."
"Feng Zining actually replied to my letter back then, and he really agreed to let me be his girlfriend!"
"If you say you received the reply in high school, then someone is using my name to deceive you."
Feng Zining said almost ruthlessly, "Because I had the housekeeper burn all the love letters I received in high school."
"Besides, I was busy with my studies after entering high school and was not at school often, so I have no impression of you."
In other words, he didn't know Sheng Hanxiang at all.
Feng Zining's words were hurtful, but they were indeed true.
As the eldest brother, he was constantly attending various tutoring classes and competitions from a young age. After entering high school and becoming an adult, his father intentionally brought him into the Feng family business, making him much busier than his peers.
It's common for him to be away from school every few days.
However, at that time, Feng Zining was a prominent figure in the prestigious high school in the capital, with outstanding looks, a dazzling resume, and a powerful family background.
In addition, his humble and polite demeanor was extremely attractive to teenagers at the time.
Even though he wasn't often at school, his desk was always stuffed with love letters from girls and boys, as well as all sorts of snacks.
No matter how much Feng Zining refused, the students continued to do as they pleased, which annoyed him to no end. He simply handed the matter over to the butler and focused on his studies.
It's impossible for a butler to be so bored as to use his name to reply to a high school girl in her adolescence and start a relationship with her, right?
Therefore, there was no truth to the claim that he responded to Sheng Hanxiang's love letter and agreed to let her be his girlfriend.
Feng Jingcheng scratched his head, a faint conscience awakened, and said to Sheng Hanxiang, "I can testify to this. After my brother went to high school, he slept later than a dog and got up earlier than a chicken. He wished he could be used as three people every day."
To put it bluntly, he was so busy during that period that he didn't even have time to wipe his butt in the bathroom, let alone respond to your love letters and start a relationship with you.
Feng Zining hesitated, but ultimately held back and didn't give this bastard a flick on the forehead.
He added, "If you need evidence, I can call the housekeeper to come and verify it with you."
Sheng Hanxiang was also stunned. She looked at Feng Zining with a confused expression: "Then... what's the deal with this love letter?"
Feng Zining asked her, "Do you remember who gave you this love letter?"
He guessed that the person who gave Sheng Hanxiang the love letter must be a student from the same high school, and that this student must know him well to have been able to deceive Sheng Hanxiang so completely.
A sharp, cold glint flashed in Feng Zining's eyes.
Using his name to deceive girls is a heinous crime, and Feng Zining will not let that person off easily.
Sheng Hanxiang paused to think for a moment, then suddenly realized her mind was blank. She shook her head blankly, "I don't remember."
Nan Yuanman realized something was wrong. She stared intently at Sheng Hanxiang and asked, "Do you remember how you died? What happened to you before you died?"
Sheng Hanxiang continued to shake her head: "I don't remember."
Feng Jingcheng was dumbfounded: "You don't remember anything? Then how did you get involved with my brother?"
Sheng Hanxiang thought hard for a moment and said, "I was attracted by a nice fragrance. When I came to my senses, I was already on his back. I... I don't know how I got entangled with him."
Listening to Sheng Hanxiang's words, Feng Jingcheng and Feng Zining gradually realized what she meant.
"Brother, could this be a trap set for you by enemies you've made outside?"
