Inside the Meng family courtyard, the lights were on.

The whole family stayed up, anxiously waiting for Meng Kangshun and Su Xiumei to return.

The two sisters, Xiaoli and Xiaojuan, nestled in Su Xiumei's arms, their heads nodding off.

Half-asleep, drool dripped from the corner of my mouth as I forced myself to stay awake, just so I could see my aunt and uncle return as soon as possible.

Su Xiumei and Su Xiulan had finished washing up and were staying in Meng Shuyun's room.

Meng Kangshun had been out for quite some time, but he hadn't returned with anyone yet.

This made everyone feel uneasy, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

At this moment, Su Xiangnan also arrived at Meng Shuyun's room, and immediately began to mock her: "I told you long ago that that kid is wicked, but you all entrusted him with such care. Look how long he's been gone, and we haven't even seen a trace of him."

Su Xiumei quickly explained, "He must have been delayed by something. Kang Shun isn't the kind of unreliable person."

Su Xiulan suggested from the side, "Mother, why don't my eldest sister and I go to the restaurant to ask about the situation? It's not good to just wait here like this."

Su Xiumei was a woman of action. As soon as she finished speaking, she gently put the two little ones back into their cribs, carefully covered them with blankets, and said, "Yes, Mother, Xiulan and I will go together, so we can look after each other on the way."

Meng Shuyun was already worried. She knew that Xiumei was not a playful person and would definitely come back with Meng Kangshun if she saw him.

She's worried that something might have happened since he hasn't come back for so long.

After thinking for a moment, she instructed, "Okay, you two go out tonight, be extra careful. Whether you find anyone or not, come back in time."

"Yes, Mother," the two sisters replied, and then hurriedly went out to find someone.

Su Xiangnan waited for news in the courtyard.

Just then, Gu Xue called out, "Mother..."

Meng Shuyun looked at Gu Xue, who had returned, with surprise in her eyes, and asked, "Didn't you go out with Xiang Nan? Why are you back? What's wrong with you...?"

She scrutinized Gu Xue closely, then suddenly realized, "What did you just call me?"

Yes, Gu Xue was acting strangely today. She used to call her grandma sweetly, but today she didn't use that affectionate term.

Gu Xue lowered her head shyly, her hand unconsciously clutching the jade pendant in her pocket, and said, "After returning from the hospital, my memory slowly returned, and I remembered what happened before."

"You're clearly my mother-in-law. I could accept calling you 'Grandma' when I had amnesia, but I'm really embarrassed to do it now."

As she spoke, she sat down next to Meng Shuyun and took out the jade pendant. "I've regained my memories. Thank you, Mother. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be alive today."

"You silly child, it's a good thing you've regained your memory, why are you crying?"

Meng Shuyun sat up straight, her face full of relief, genuinely happy for her. "Being able to remember where she came from means she won't be living her life in a daze anymore. Does Xiang Nan know about this?"

Gu Xue nodded and said, "He knows. He knew as soon as I woke up."

Ah Nan is so perceptive; from the moment I woke up, the look in his eyes told him I had regained my memories.

"So what are your plans?"

Meng Shuyun asked with concern, "Have you and Xiang Nan filed for marriage registration?"

Meng Shuyun could roughly guess Gu Xue's thoughts and guessed that she might have some concerns.

If she chooses to go home, Su Xiangnan is afraid...

Su Xiangnan cherished her so much, placing her at the very top of his heart. If Gu Xue were to leave, he feared he would find it unbearable.

After all, the emotions of both lifetimes were entrusted to Gu Xue. Now that Gu Xue has regained her memories, she might really leave.

"No, Mother, I came here to talk to you about this. Anan has been refusing to report to me; he wants to get rid of me..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Gu Xue's eyes, which turned red.

She originally wanted to keep it a secret, but Su Xiangnan was too perceptive and had served in the military. In the afternoon, he told her to leave and go home.

Even now, recalling Su Xiangnan's cold words, her heart still aches terribly.

"Gu Xue, you can rest assured that we haven't done anything out of line during the time you've lost your memory."

Now that you have regained your memories, you must know where you came from.

You can leave at any time.

Don't worry, neither my family nor I will say a word about what happened here; it will remain a secret forever.

If you feel I have ruined your reputation, I...

"I can go abroad, or go to the south, but I'll never set foot in Beijing again."

Gu Xue felt like her heart was breaking.

Su Xiangnan risked his life to save her that day, but now that she has woken up again, he speaks coldly to her.

Such a huge difference was simply unbearable for her.

So when she came to find Meng Shuyun, she already had a plan in mind.

Upon hearing her request, Meng Shuyun frowned deeply and shook her head in rejection without hesitation.

This silly girl actually thought of taking her household registration booklet to register and get her marriage certificate herself.

“That’s not appropriate. I think we should make things clear with Xiang Nan, especially since the household registration is under Su Dahai’s name.”

If you truly want to be with him, you should be open and honest about it.

That guy is a stubborn person. If he still rejects you, it means he doesn't love you enough, and a man like that isn't worth your affection.

The person who loves you will not become despondent because of their own flaws and will keep you at arm's length.
