Chapter 354 More than five weeks, or even two?

Liang Yizhi's gaze toward Shen Jingxiu also turned cold.

"That's enough. You've been targeting her from the moment you walked in. I've already said that once I sort things out, I'll give you an explanation."

Shen Jingxiu was greatly disappointed in him when he saw him holding Pang Yin without any sense of incongruity.

“You’ve not only forgotten my daughter and your wife, you’ve even forgotten your own surname! Who is Pang Daiyao? Pang Shijun is dead, and he took you back to turn you into a new pawn, sucking your blood, yet you treat him as your savior. Liang Yizhi, you’re recognizing a thief as your father. You’ve not only lost your memory, but your judgment has also been eaten by dogs.”

After saying that, Shen Jingxiu glared at him and turned to leave.

On his way here, he was still wondering whether or not to tell Ji Ying that she was pregnant.

In retrospect, it was completely unnecessary.

His daughter doesn't need Liang Yizhi's concern!

Liang Yizhi stood still, Shen Jingxiu's words like chisels striking his blank consciousness, stirring up a chaotic, dull sound.

Seeing Pang Yin's aggrieved expression, he was angry, but he couldn't refute Shen Jingxiu's words in his mind, as if he were right.

“Yizhi,” Pang Yin looked at him with tears in her eyes, “I’m sorry, I made you get scolded again. You should leave me alone… He doesn’t seem like an ordinary person, his family must be very powerful. You don’t remember anything right now, if they really want to do something to you, I’m afraid you’ll suffer.”

These words, seemingly for his benefit, actually pushed the Shen family members toward the path of evil in his mind.

But Liang Yizhi did not respond to her "understanding".

He was looking toward the door, his profile taut.

Two weeks ago, he woke up in a private hospital in Southeast Asia.

When I first regained consciousness, my mind was blank, and I couldn't even remember my own name.

The doctor said he suffered severe memory loss due to a head injury and drowning, and it was a miracle that he survived.

Pang Yin was the first shadow to emerge from this blank space.

From the moment he fell into a coma, a gentle yet persistent voice kept echoing in his ears.

"You have to wake up...you absolutely must wake up."

"I'm waiting for you... Don't give up."

The voice was like a rope, pulling him back to reality little by little from the depths of chaos.

So when he opened his eyes and saw Pang Yin standing by his bedside with bloodshot eyes, an almost instinctive sense of dependence and trust quietly took root.

Pang Yin told him that his name was "Liang Yizhi" and that he was a close friend of her brother, Pang Shijun.

A month ago, the two went fishing in international waters on a private yacht, but encountered unusually rough seas at night and the boat capsized.

She was on another boat and witnessed the whole thing. She desperately tried to pull him out of the sea, but her brother never came back.

She even has a photo of Pang Shijun with him on her phone.

The photo looks flawless.

During the days after his recovery, Pang Daiyao also sent people to visit him, showing concern for him like a kind elder.

Everything seems normal.

But when he returned to Beijing, he heard two completely different versions.

The two realities clashed violently in his mind, giving him a terrible headache.

"Support him, support him?"

Pang Yin gently shook him to bring him back to his senses.

"Does your head hurt again? The doctor told you to get your injections on time. I'll go get your medicine."

Pang Yin's eyes welled up with tears.

Liang Yizhi did not refuse, and Pang Ying brought him the acupuncture medicine and administered the injection.

But Liang Yizhi was very sullen and didn't say a word. After the injection, he went back to his bedroom and closed the door.

Shen Jingxiu returned to the ward of the Suji Clinical Research Center with even deeper worries.

Ji Ying slowly woke up.

Opening his eyes, he saw Madam Shen's anxious face.

"You're awake! Yingying, you're finally awake..." Madam Shen immediately bent down and grasped her daughter's hand, her voice choked with sobs, "You scared your mother to death."

Ji Ying didn't react much; she simply gently pulled her hand out of the other person's palm.

Her gaze swept around the ward, past her mother, and landed on Shen Jingxiu and Jiang Ran, who had just entered the room.

She wanted to sit up.

Madam Shen quickly reached out to help, but Ji Ying avoided her outstretched hand.

Seeing this, Shen Jingxiu quickly stepped forward, supporting her back with one hand and holding her arm with the other, speaking very softly.

"Slow down, you're pregnant now, you can't move too much."

Ji Ying's body stiffened visibly as she looked at her father, her eyes filled with astonishment.

She actually got pregnant.

How is that possible?

"How...how long has it been?"

She instinctively touched her lower abdomen.

Shen Jingxiu placed a pillow behind her back before sitting down on the edge of the bed, a smile rarely seen on his face these days.

"More than five weeks, and two of them."

She conceived during the few days after reuniting with Liang Yizhi.

But Ji Ying still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Madam Shen noticed her confusion and said from the side, "I suspect it might be related to the medicine you drank from the local witch doctor. Although some things are still beyond the reach of modern science, there are indeed some examples where the effects are beyond the norm. However, it may not be a good thing for the mother."

“So,” Shen Jingxiu interrupted her quickly, afraid that Madam Shen would reveal the truth, “you have to listen to your mother during this time. She will take care of your daily life and arrange some necessary examinations and treatments. All of this is for the sake of your and the child’s safety.”

Shen Jingxiu downplayed the risks of her pregnancy.

Ji Ying's hand remained on her lower abdomen.

She remained silent for a moment, then nodded, which was considered her tacit agreement.

The next second, her gaze fell on Jiang Ran.

"Have you investigated everything I asked you to?"

Jiang Ran stood at the foot of the bed and nodded.

"That woman's name is Pang Yin. She is two years older than you and is Pang Shijun's younger sister."

Ji Ying frowned. "When did Pang Shijun have a younger sister? I've never heard Shu Tang mention her. Are they from the same parents?"

"Pang Yin's birth was a bit strange. Her mother was pregnant with her for less than a month when her father suddenly abandoned his family and went to a temple in the south to become a monk, and he has not returned to secular life to this day. Not long after she was born, her mother also left her with the Pang family and went to a Taoist temple in the suburbs. Now she is a nun who practices while still keeping her hair."

"Pang Daiyao took over the custody of the brother and sister, but treated them very differently. Pang Shijun was kept by his side and personally trained, while this Pang Yin was sent to Southeast Asia when she was only one year old. Now she is the leading actress of an opera troupe in Southeast Asia, but her resume is as clean as a blank sheet of paper, and it is not clear how much she has any connection with the Pang family."

"Can't you see the connection?" Ji Ying sneered. "Whether you can see it or not, she's just a tool for Pang Daiyao to win over Liang Yizhi."

"So, Yingying," Shen Jingxiu finally asked as a father, "what are you planning to do next?"

The scattered light in Ji Ying's eyes gradually gathered, and her expression became firm.

"For the sake of the child in my womb and Liang Yizhi after he regains his memories, I cannot back down."

She turned her gaze away and looked at Shen Jingxiu.

"Dad, no one can know that I'm pregnant. The Pang family and Liang Yizhi must also not find out that I'm your daughter. I can only win this battle, I cannot lose."

Shen Jingxiu held her hand with deep emotion.

"Okay, whatever you do, you must remember that the Shen family will always be your source of strength."

Ji Ying felt a slight tingling in her nose and nodded vigorously.

She spent three days at the Suji Clinical Research Center to maintain her pregnancy.

Over the past three days, Madam Shen acted swiftly and decisively, rapidly mobilizing her core resources to assemble a top-tier medical team composed entirely of trusted confidantes.

On the afternoon of the third day, Jiang Ran pushed open the door and entered, having just finished her IV drip.

"Sister Ying, something bad has happened! Mr. Liang has brought that woman home again, and this time he's going to stay."

Ji Ying's eyes were as deep as a cold pool.

Back then, Gu Yanchen had also allowed Wen Lingxue to enter his home.

Back then, she was still naive and uncertain, but even so, Wen Lingxue didn't gain the slightest advantage. Things are very different now; what is this Pang Yin anyway?

"Prepare the car," Ji Ying ordered decisively.

Back at No. 17 Dingbu Street.

As soon as I entered, I saw Pang Yin standing at the door of the master bedroom. She said to Butler Fei, "I really like this bed inside. Could you please have someone change all the sheets and blankets on it? I'll be sleeping in this room from now on."
