Chapter 649: Chapter 649

Later, persuaded by Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng finally swallowed his temper and obediently went to the dinner.

However, he didn’t go to the dinner for his father, or his mother. Ultimately, it was to fight for one last chance for himself! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

Now, Huo Feng had only one goal, to reclaim the remaining 100,000 yuan!

Don’t think that after donating 900,000 yuan, he would just give up on the total 1 million yuan. After all, there was still 100,000 yuan left!

It was for that remaining 100,000 yuan that Huo Feng mustered his energy to fight this battle!

At 6:30 in the evening, Huo Feng got into Shen Yu’s car, and they went to Principal Han’s house together.

When the mother and son arrived, Huo Mingshan had already been waiting at Principal Han’s house.

It was said that these leaders, including Huo Mingshan, had been there all afternoon at Principal Han’s house.

Huo Feng and Shen Yu arrived with two boxes of gifts and received a warm, friendly, and courteous reception from Principal Han’s family.

That evening, Huo Feng, who had adjusted his emotions, was here for battle.

Therefore, he put on a fake face and behaved exceptionally well throughout the event.

All the senior leaders present warmly greeted him one by one...

He responded to the elders’ questions one by one with methodical answers...

During the banquet, he also displayed his superior socialising skills.

That night, at the same drink feast, besides eight men and two women, the only young ones were Huo Feng and Han Lei.

Han Feiyi, who was in her senior year of high school, hadn’t started her holiday yet, so she wasn’t home, conveniently avoiding meeting with Huo Feng.

Huo Feng, often socialising with his grandfather, had an excellent tolerance for alcohol, a good command of language, and a broad range of knowledge.

Therefore, at the dinner table, Huo Feng moved around toasting, pouring out compliments, and behaving humbly, winning the elders’ lavish praise.

In contrast, Han Lei, who was not good at socialising, just silently ate his meal, not saying a word the whole time, and watched the sociable Huo Feng with disdainful eyes.

Watching the elders praise Huo Feng time after time, Han Lei felt a sourness in his heart and thought, He’s really laying it on thick! How could Sangzhi actually like such a person?

At the same time, Huo Feng, who was receiving praise from the elders, occasionally glanced at the silent Han Lei.

Huo Feng thought, A kid still wet behind the ears can’t even handle a situation , rubbish!

They despised each other inwardly but did not let the other know.

When the dinner was more than half over and all the guests had eaten their fill to about 80%, the conversation flowed freely with the wine.

Han Lei, who didn’t know how to behave, got up from the table in silence, preparing to return to his room.

As he passed by Huo Feng, Han Lei called out to him softly, "I’m going back to my room, do you want to come?"

Huo Feng raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, thinking: What does your going back to your room have to do with me? Are you calling me over to pick up soap or what?

"Xiaofeng, just go with Xiaolei."

At this moment, Shen Yu actually gave him a push in that direction, "You’ve had a lot to drink just now, go rest a bit in the room."

"Alright, let’s go then."

Huo Feng ruffled his hair, stood up, picked up the beer he had been drinking, and followed Han Lei to his room.

The moment he entered the room, Huo Feng sat down on the bed with great gusto, stacked two pillows, and leaned back slowly.

His nonchalant manner made Han Lei’s eyebrows furrow.

But since he was a guest, Han Lei didn’t say anything. He just closed the door behind him and sat down on a stool beside the bed.

However, Han Lei sat down to play on his computer, which was placed right beside his bed.

At that moment, the computer displayed the game interface of League of Legends, not yet in a game...

"Hey, little bro," Huo Feng casually called out to him.

This address made Han Lei’s brows furrow even more, "I’m not much younger than you."

Huo Feng said, "I am two years older than you, call me ’bro’."

Han Lei refused, "No way."

Huo Feng didn’t care whether he would call him that or not and just continued, "Little bro, don’t you have anything you want to talk about with me?"

Han Lei moved his mouse and glanced at him sideways, "Talk about what?"

Truthfully, Han Lei really didn’t have anything he wanted to talk about with him.

The reason he had called Huo Feng in was just because they were peers, and it seemed improper to stay in an adults’ gathering.

Since Han Lei didn’t like that kind of setting anyway, he would leave directly whenever he had the chance.

Huo Feng placed the half-drunk beer on the computer desk, turned toward him, propped his head up with one hand, and said, "How about we talk about whether your sister is doing well?"

Han Lei’s brows nearly knitted into the character ’川’, "Do you still care about her?"

Huo Feng’s mouth quirked up, "I’m concerned, alright. Right now, I especially want to hear that she’s doing terribly! Since my dad invested my money into your family, thinking about the loss makes me want to know whether your family has any bad news! Especially your sister, if she’s having a rough time, that’ll make me feel good! Really good!"

Han Lei felt he was utterly ridiculous!

However, he still obediently answered his question, "You’ll be disappointed, then. My sister is doing well. She found a high school in Wencheng to attend for her senior year and hasn’t come back for a while. No bad news to report. Two weeks ago, I even heard that she became the campus belle at that school, and many people are chasing after her."

Feeling even worse upon hearing that Han Feiyi’s current situation was so comfortable, Huo Feng was troubled!

That woman had treated Huo Feng so miserably, yet she was living so comfortably now.

And here Huo Feng was, facing a loss of 900,000 in compensation and about to live a miserable and tight life, just thinking about it made him feel so annoyed!

Huo Feng then asked, "So, is there anyone in your family who’s having a particularly hard time? Tell me, lighten up my mood."

Han Lei’s mouth twitched, and he responded directly, "Not really. You’ve seen my father, he’s in a particularly good mood because of the school’s new teaching building project. My mom is as she always is, and I am just the same, no one is particularly miserable. That must be disappointing for you."

Huo Feng gasped coldly, feeling even worse!

How could the world be so unfair?

Huo Feng was the one suffering, while everyone else seemed to be living the good life!

"If you had asked me a few months ago, I was indeed having a rough time then."

Han Lei honestly said, "At that time, we were arranging a new school for my sister. Coincidentally, my sister found out I had tampered with her phone and recorded that video as evidence. Everyone at home blamed and scorned me. My sister even cut ties with me... That’s when things were bad. But once my sister left, the house returned to calm, and everything has been pretty good."

Huo Feng caught wind of something interesting, "You’re saying that your betrayal of your sister is known to your family? How come you didn’t get a beating for it?"

Han Lei glared at Huo Feng, "Heartless."

This was when Huo Feng couldn’t help but laugh, "Hey, I’ve been wanting to ask you, how did you bring yourself to betray your own sister like that?"

Han Lei casually opened the game, not wanting to answer Huo Feng’s question.

But Huo Feng was persistent, he probed again, "Come on, tell me, do you really like Sangzhi that much?"

Han Lei stayed silent, his gaze fixed intently on the computer screen.

Seeing him not answering, Huo Feng lifted his foot and nudged Han Lei with his toes, "Tell me."

Han Lei gave him a look of disdain and moved his chair a bit further away.

Huo Feng on the bed shifted his position and gave Han Lei another nudge, "Come on, do you really like Sangzhi? You still like her now, don’t you?"

Doing such things to provoke his rival, Huo Feng felt great!

Huo Feng was now brimming with confidence, certain that no one in this world could take Pu Sangzhi away from him!

Because now, he felt incredibly secure, believing that Pu Sangzhi loved him, Huo Feng, so much that she wouldn’t be easily seduced by any other man!

So, to Huo Feng, this little punk Han Lei was nothing to worry about.

"Tch, can you be any more annoying?"

Han Lei withdrew his hand to avoid Huo Feng’s foot, "I like her, even if she tells me not to say it, I still like her. I know she likes you, and I’m not in your way!"

Huo Feng’s eyebrows rose triumphantly, feeling content, "So what you mean is, you like her so much you’re willing to turn against your own sister for her? Impressive, young man!"

"That’s not what I mean."

Han Lei replied seriously, his expression grave, "I helped her because she stood up for me when I needed it the most. I will never forget that day when everyone was accusing me, neither my mom nor my sister stood up for me, and she stepped in to help me at the moment of my greatest embarrassment."

Han Lei paused, then continued, "She said she stood up for justice, and that was the moment I fell for her. I helped her out of love, but also for justice. There you go, are you satisfied now? Stop bothering me!"

Huo Feng instantly regretted this relentless questioning.

Seeing Han Lei, this kid, still revealing his deep fondness for Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng felt truly jealous!

Just before the game began, Han Lei couldn’t resist adding one more thing, "She’s always mattered a lot to me, no matter how much time passes. So, if you ever treat her poorly, I’ll definitely take advantage of the situation. The one who ends up with her is the real winner; everything now is temporary."

This kid was challenging him, Huo Feng!

Huo Feng snorted, "You won’t get the chance."

A few seconds later, Huo Feng added, "You’ll never get the chance!"

And a minute later, seething with rage, Huo Feng kicked Han Lei’s chair, "You damn brat! You don’t stand a chance! Get lost!"

By then, Huo Feng was utterly consumed by jealousy!
