Jiang Se returned a day later. Before leaving, she came to see Feng Nan. The Feng family placed her in a suite in Hong Kong's top private hospital. She was taken care of by two servants. The people in the Feng family could see the old man's attitude towards her, and no one came to see her.
In that top-level convalescent ward, the curtains were tightly drawn, and the two maids looked embarrassed:
"Ms. Jiang, Miss Feng might hurt you."
She is the "Crown Princess" of the Pei family, and a younger generation who is particularly favored by Feng Zhongliang. The two servants who take care of Feng Nan are very concerned about her, and are afraid that Feng Nan will hurt her if he is "crazy" at this time.
"I'll pay attention." Jiang Se was holding a bouquet of flowers. The two maids looked at her gentle but determined expression, and finally left reluctantly. They closed the door at Jiang Se's instruction and stood guard at the door, both to prevent someone from breaking in and to prevent Feng Nan from suddenly attacking and hurting someone, thereby hurting Pei Yi's eyes.
Feng Nan was lying on the bed. He kept shaking when he heard Jiang Se's voice, and stroking the sheets, making a rustling sound.
Jiang Se walked to the window and opened the curtains. She trembled even more violently, making a 'dong dong' sound as she struggled.
The weather today was not good and it was drizzling. Jiang Se put the flowers she brought aside and saw Feng Nan shaking on the bed. She closed her eyes tightly, sweating profusely, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
The reason she didn't hide was that her limbs were fixed up to prevent her from scratching herself. Her cheeks and neck were covered with wounds, and she opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.
This appearance was completely different from the first time Jiang Se saw her after her rebirth.
The room was exquisitely decorated. With the financial resources of the Feng family, the convalescent ward arranged for her was naturally the best one, with everything needed. Jiang Se took a vase, went to the bathroom to get some water, and came out to unpack the flowers she brought. Feng Nan closed her eyes and did not shout out, but her expression had already revealed a hysterical state.
“I’ve lived here before.”
Jiang Se unpacked the flowers one by one and put them into the vase:
"And I dare not draw those curtains."
Her words made Feng Nan, who was lying on the bed, tremble his eyelashes and roll his eyes under his eyelids.
Jiang Se's words indirectly confirmed Feng Nan's previous guess that she was indeed not 'Jiang Se', but might be 'Feng Nan' himself.
The long-held suspicions have now been confirmed, but what good is confirmation
The sky outside the window was gray, and the little light made Feng Nan dare not open his eyes.
"But if you don't pull it up, you'll never be able to get out of here." Jiang Se took a pair of scissors and trimmed the branches, and put the flowers he brought into the vase one by one:
"I know that feeling." Her words made Feng Nan twitch violently, but Jiang Se seemed not to notice:
"No one can save you. It feels like everyone has given up on you."
Feng Nan's despair should have been deeper than hers, because at that time she was still going from full of hope to despair, while Feng Nan was nervous from the beginning.
As Pei Yi said, she doesn't belong here, and no relative in the Feng family truly belongs to her.
When their real daughter was kidnapped, Feng Qinlun and his wife were both drunk and dreaming, not to mention that the kidnapped Feng Nan was not the real 'Feng Nan' in her heart. Feng Zhongliang knew all this.
In Feng Nan's heart, the despair probably lies in the fact that there is no place for her in this world. She is like a thief hiding herself, afraid that her true identity will be discovered, and she is always in fear.
After Feng Zhongliang guessed Jiang Se's true identity, he became very distant from her. She also retaliated against Jiang Se, so Feng Zhongliang must have hated her in his heart. In Feng Nan's opinion, Feng Zhongliang probably wanted her to die after thinking that she was kidnapped.
"But ever since Grandpa found out you were missing, he has been looking for you and trying to save you."
Feng Nan opened her eyes subconsciously with a look of disbelief in her eyes, but the next moment she closed her eyelids tightly as if her eyes were burned by the bright light.
Jiang Sesi slowly put the bunch of flowers into the vase, adding some vitality to the pale room. He carried the vase to the small table beside him and cleaned up the things on the floor:
"No matter what grudges we have between you and me, I hope it ends here, Feng Nan. I don't owe you anything." She stood up and looked at the woman lying on the bed. When she faced her for the first time, it was like looking at a stranger, as if she was completely liberated from her soul to her heart, and had drawn a clear line between herself and Feng Nan's body and identity.
"I don't know why you were reborn, but since God has made such an arrangement and given you such an opportunity, I hope you can cherish it."
Tears welled up from the corners of Feng Nan's eyes, rolled down from both sides of her temples and disappeared into the ends of her hair. "You..." She choked with a sob, her voice a little hoarse, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she began to tremble uncontrollably.
Even with her eyes closed, she could feel Jiang Se's gaze on her. Under Jiang Se's gaze, she felt that she had nowhere to hide, as if she had been seen through from the inside out.
"Rebirth is not for you to do whatever you want, nor for you to hurt others to vent your anger. It may just be that fate has pity on your misfortune and is especially kind to you, giving you a chance to start over, live the life you want, make up for your previous shortcomings, and cherish everything more."
These are the words that Jiang Se gradually comprehended after his rebirth, and now he tells them to Feng Nan.
"You, you said these..." Feng Nan spoke slowly, hiccuping every few words: "Yeah, like him, you want to threaten me, threaten me to stop talking nonsense?"
Jiang Se stood by the bed and nodded slowly:
"That's what I mean." She smiled and said, "But I also hope you can cherish yourself."
She looked at the body, which looked somewhat familiar, yet very strange at the moment:
"I hope that when you get 'her', you can also fulfill your duty and not just ask for it and take it for granted. I hope you can be a good daughter of the Feng family and not make Grandpa worry."
Jiang Se spoke in a slow and steady tone. In the past, Feng Nan always thought she was extremely hateful. Because of the karma from his previous life, he could not stand her no matter how hard he tried. He thought Jiang Se was really disgusting.
But at this moment, she was standing beside his bed, calm and gentle, without any ridicule or contempt, and she was reasoning with him. She was completely different from the impression Feng Nan had of Jiang Se.
In her previous life, she had imagined what Feng Nan looked like thousands of times. She was the daughter of Zhongnan Industrial, settled in France, but Zhao Junhan of Jianghua Group still admired her when he thought of her. What kind of woman would she be like? Even after she hadn't come back for many years, the Zhao family was still unwilling to cancel the engagement.
She had heard of 'Feng Nan' from many people. She was a lady from a famous family with outstanding temperament and elegance. She thought that she had learned etiquette, some tricks, how to identify famous brands, and how to wear jewelry. She thought she had become 'Feng Nan', but only now did she realize that there was such a distance between her and the real 'Feng Nan'.
'Graceful and decent' is not just a stereotype, but the way the person actually appears in front of her and looks at her with a smile.
"Grandpa told me that he has already arranged a marriage for you with Zhao Junhan from the Zhao family of Jianghua Group. You can hold the wedding after you recover."
When Feng Nan heard this, he gradually stopped struggling, clenched his fixed hands into fists, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.
"With the Feng family here, Zhongnan Industry as your backing, and your grandfather personally negotiating your marriage, the Zhao family won't make things difficult for you."
Feng Nan gradually became quiet, but his trembling eyelashes began to become wet. His face was tense and he bit his lower lip with his teeth, almost leaving a bleeding mark.
"Live your life well after marriage and don't make trouble anymore." Jiang Se reminded her: "You can live again, it is a gift from God, this opportunity is only once and not twice."
After saying this, she adjusted her skirt. People like Feng Nan, who only wanted to die, were fearless. If she was given a glimmer of hope now, she would grab it as a life-saving straw.
She confessed that it was Feng Nan's secret, and she also had the handle in her hands. She would be more afraid of having her hopes dashed than Jiang Se.
Jiang Zhiyuan already "knew" who she was, and Feng Nan no longer had anything to threaten her with.
After being placed under house arrest by the Feng family, kidnapped by Jiang Zhiyuan, and escaping death, Feng Nan would not let go of the chance of him being able to live a comfortable and stable life.
She was indeed moved, and struggled to get up, and asked in a trembling voice:
"You, are you telling the truth?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Jiang Se curled the corners of her mouth. She really had no need to lie to Feng Nan. They both had the same starting point and were reborn under the arrangement of fate, but because of different choices, they had already embarked on different life journeys.
"You..." Feng Nan bit his lip and asked her, "You came to see me just to tell me about this?"
"Of course it's not just that." Jiang Se shook his head and smiled: "I have one more thing I want you to cooperate with."
Feng Nan was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Se said:
"I would like to ask you not to sue Jiang Zhiyuan."
As soon as she heard Jiang Zhiyuan's name, her face turned pale again. She didn't know what terrible thing she remembered, and her upper and lower teeth collided with each other, making a "clack" sound.
Jiang Zhiyuan brought her a shadow that might be indelible for the rest of her life. Jiang Se understood that feeling, and the fear in her heart should be deeper than hers.
"Look, you caused me so much trouble, and I saved your life." She pulled a chair and sat next to Feng Nan. Seeing the flesh on her cheek twitching uncontrollably and her body shaking, she said, "I will keep him away from your life and will not hurt you again."
After she said this, she waited patiently for a long time, and halfway through she called the maid to ask the doctor to come over and help Feng Nan calm down.
After the doctor and the maid left, Feng Nan's face was still pale and she looked tormented. She didn't want to agree to Jiang Se's proposal, but she was not a fool. If she didn't agree, perhaps what Jiang Se had said before and the beautiful scenery he had described for her would never come true.
Feng Jia knew that she was not the real 'Feng Nan', and that being able to save her life was already a pleasant surprise for her. Feng Zhongliang might not spend too much time on someone like her.
Marrying Zhao Junhan was not a good choice originally, but now it became her only choice.
Think about it, in her previous life, she tried her best but failed to marry into the Zhao family. She gave birth to a son for Zhao Junhan and was his mistress for many years, but still did not get a formal status. But in this life, she can marry under the name of Feng Nan.
From then on, she no longer had any enemies in this world. She was the legitimate Mrs. Zhao. She might give birth to the son she had in her previous life. Even if he did not become famous, at least he had fulfilled her previous life's wishes. All of this made her heart beat.
Although she died at the hands of Jiang Zhiyuan in her previous life and almost died at his hands in this life, she was more afraid of Jiang Zhiyuan than hated him.
The result of a desperate situation was not what she wanted. After all this, she longed for a comfortable and stable life without the threat of death and fear.
Jiang Se was right. Rebirth is something that can only happen once and not again. Some opportunities will be gone forever if you miss them.
Feng Nan naturally had no need to hesitate whether to kill Jiang Zhiyuan or marry into the Zhao family and become Mrs. Zhao.
But she was still a little unwilling, she couldn't help but look at Jiang Se:
"Why did you do that?"
She is the real 'Feng Nan'. She was once hurt by Jiang Zhiyuan in her childhood. Her fear of Jiang Zhiyuan should be no less than her own.
She said in person that she had also stayed in this convalescent ward.
Jiang Zhiyuan being in jail is good for both of them. Why should she let herself let Jiang Zhiyuan go and not pursue the matter any further
Feng Nan was still a little angry, and said with some hatred:
"You have Feng Zhongliang's support and a husband. What do you want to do? It's just a matter of a word. Do you need my cooperation?"
"This is a society ruled by law!" Jiang Se spoke righteously. Of course, she could use certain means, as Feng Nan said, to let Jiang Zhiyuan go unpunished and not be punished by law. After all, Feng Nan was alive, and Feng Zhongliang was destined not to make a big deal because of Jiang Se. If she wanted to protect Jiang Zhiyuan, she had plenty of ways to do it.
"But, 'he' is used to solving problems in his own way. Of course, I have to tell 'him' that this is not okay."
Jiang Zhiyuan has formed his own set of principles in doing things and being a person, which is not right. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of his family background, no one has ever told him what is wrong and what is right, so he has taken a wrong path, which is difficult and hurtful to others and himself.
Jiang Se went through such a big detour just to "explain" a truth to Jiang Zhiyuan: all problems can be solved by legitimate means, and facing difficulties, taking risks and breaking the law is not the only way.
When no one could tell him these things, she was the only one who showed them to him through her actions, hoping that he would remember them in his heart in the future.
Feng Nan stared at her blankly, remained silent for a while, and asked:
"You, aren't you afraid of him?"
"I am a little scared." She admitted frankly, but in life, there are some things that you can't avoid or no longer face just because you are afraid of them.
"Besides, I am 'Jiang Se', and rights and obligations have always been relative." She has gained the convenience of rebirth, so naturally she should also pay something in return.
Jiang Se finished speaking and glanced at Feng Nan, "This is also the basic of 'being a human being'."
Feng Nan understood that what she said was also to "teach" herself how to be a person. She felt a little indignant, but could not refute it. She knew it in her heart. In her previous life, she had been imitating the "Feng Nan" she imagined for many years, and thought she had learned to be like her and was about to "catch up" with her. After her rebirth, she was complacent, and when she really understood her, she found that there was still a long distance between them.
"It is only now that I understand that perhaps fate is the fairest."
Feng Nan stammered, "'Jiang Se' killed me, so she disappeared and I was reborn." After rebirth, she became the 'Feng Nan' she wanted to be the most, and 'Feng Nan' was reborn as 'Jiang Se'. (To be continued)
