"Qianmo, why did you knock me out when you woke up in the hospital that day? I thought I had offended you somehow. You didn't even have time to put on your shoes before coming to see Lord Jue. If you were in a hurry to see Lord Jue, you didn't need to knock me out. Just tell me and I could have driven you here myself."

"Should I knock you out?" Bai Qianmo asked.

Why does she have absolutely no recollection of it?

"What? Are you forgetful? You've already forgotten after only a few days? So all that suffering I endured was for nothing?"

"I really forgot."

"You... fine, forget it if you want. In your heart, I, your adopted brother, am worthless, hmph!" Ji Cong'an gave a haughty snort.

"Brother-in-law?" What the heck is that?

"No way? You've even forgotten that you recognized my parents as your godparents?"

"I forgot!" Bai Qianmo nodded very seriously.

Ji Cong'an nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hey Qianmo, that's not fair. Are you brainless like a fish? Does your memory only last a few seconds?"

“She has amnesia,” Gu Jueye said in a deep voice.

Ji Cong'an fell silent.

The group of people all looked on in astonishment.

"How could she suddenly lose her memory? When the experts we brought in from abroad examined Qianmo, they didn't find any brain damage."

"To be precise, I have selective amnesia; I don't remember anything that happened after I turned sixteen."

Bai Qianmo walked straight to the empty seat opposite the group and sat down.

Her bright eyes swept over everyone.

"So, everyone, please introduce yourselves. That way, when we meet again in the future, we'll be acquainted."

Ji Cong'an opened his mouth, and after a long while, he said, "My name is Ji Cong'an. I'm Lord Jue's sworn brother. You should have heard of me from him, right? Hehe, let me tell you about Qianmo. Lord Jue and I grew up together. We were best brothers before, but now, you are my god-sister. If he marries you in the future, I will naturally be his brother-in-law."

After saying that, Ji Cong'an glanced at Gu Jueye with a smile.

He wasn't even spared a glance from the other party.

Bai Qianmo nodded seriously.

He glanced sideways at the other three.

Du Muchen coughed lightly: "Xiao Momo, we met in the entertainment industry. You were originally senior and junior colleagues in the same company, and you even acted in a movie together. We have a very good relationship. You used to call me Brother Chen all the time."

"Brother Chen, I've got it."

His gaze shifted to Xie Siming.

Xie Siming touched the tip of his nose.

"Well, we became friends after a fight, and we even started a media company together and traded stocks together. Oh, and what about Master Gou? Do you remember him at all?"

Bai Qianmo shook her head.

She had no recollection of any of these things.

The man beside her said in a low voice, "These are all insignificant people; there's no need to deliberately recall them."

Only he understood that she would never remember.

Because at this point, the consciousness stored in her brain is only that of her pre-sixteen years old.

"I really have to say something about the word 'insignificant,' my lord. How did we brothers become insignificant people? Qianmo, don't listen to him. He's just jealous of how well we get along with you," Ji Cong'an protested.

Gu Jueye gave him a cold glance.

Without saying much, he turned his gaze to Fang Shu and Gu Teng beside him.

"see a visitor out!"

Then, with one arm around Bai Qianmo, he stood up to leave.

The four people in front of the sofa were completely stunned.

What's going on?

They waited there for more than two hours before they finally saw the person.

Before they could even exchange two sentences, they were told to leave.

"Sir, this is really not being a good friend of ours! We came all this way to see you, and instead of treating us to a meal, you won't even let us have a cup of hot tea before you're trying to kick us out?"

Gu Jueye embraced Bai Qianmo as they walked to the top of the stairs, then paused slightly.

Bai Qianmo raised her head and looked at the man beside her.

His gaze was deep and unfathomable, revealing not a trace of emotion.

"Fang Shu, from now on, without my orders, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter the research institute. The two people who let in today will be punished accordingly."

"Yes, Master!"

He left with a cold remark, then lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms.

Let's go.

"Fifth Brother..."

Bai Qianmo turned around and looked at the four people who looked bewildered.

Judging from their tone just now, they must have grown up with Gu Jueye.

But Fifth Brother treated them like strangers.

A thought flashed through Bai Qianmo's mind, but she didn't say anything and followed Gu Jueye upstairs.

The group of people left behind, their faces filled with shock, sat in front of the sofa, bewildered and disoriented.

"Is this a way of telling us to get out?"

"It's obvious." Xie Siming glanced at Fang Shu, who was standing to the side with an icy expression, staring at them.

"Please, all four of you. Please do not disturb my master at the research institute again in the future."

"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!" Ji Cong'an's temper was instantly ignited by Fang Shu.

"Kid, watch your mouth. I came to visit your master out of kindness, and your master is so crazy that he doesn't even acknowledge me. But you dare to boss me around like that? Don't you know that I, Ji Cong'an, am not someone to be trifled with?"

Fang Shu remained unmoved by honor or disgrace, his face as icy as ever.

“Young Master Ji, I’ve heard a little about your reputation in Beijing’s social circles. Let me make this clear to you today: this is a research institute, a key national research institute. Anyone who trespasses without my master’s permission is breaking the relevant national laws. If my master really wants to pursue this matter, you are breaking the law.”

Ji Cong'an gasped, a feeling of tightness rising in his chest.

"Damn, you're even using national laws to intimidate me? Heh, I lived in the research lab for several months last year. I know every single thing here like the back of my hand. Those old scholars from the Chinese Academy of Sciences next door all know me. Besides, your owner is my childhood friend. I don't believe he would report me."

As he spoke, Ji Cong'an stood up from the sofa, looking ready to fight.

"Come on, let's see who dares to touch me!"

Seeing this, Jiang Nanyan stood up, pulled him up, and whispered in his ear.

"Don't be impulsive. Sir seems a bit strange today. Let's leave first and then discuss this further."
