Mo Haofeng couldn't understand why Ji Yawei was spending Tao Rui's money. He listened to Ji Yawei's seemingly reasonable explanations in silence all the way. Only when they returned to Ji Yawei's house, alone, did he ask, "Do you really believe that if you don't use them, Tao Rui will throw away his supplementary card and the thirty or so membership cards? Will he even throw away his house?"

This was the only excuse Ji Yawei could come up with in her desperate situation. She could only nod her head. "Tao Rui was serious at the time. Mainly, I didn't want to lose him as a friend. You know, ever since my family got into trouble, all my old friends acted like they didn't know me. Only you and Tao Rui haven't changed."

Haofeng, I just think it’s no big deal…”

"It's no big deal?" Mo Haofeng sneered. "It was me and you who were being pointed at and questioned just now. Didn't you hear what Tao Rui said? He thinks you're a pampered flower, suspecting you've ripped him off. He doesn't want to say a word to you. He thinks I have no sense of responsibility and am causing him unnecessary trouble."

Mo Haofeng walked up to Ji Yawei, looked at her and said, "Tao Rui just lost his memory, he didn't become someone else. So if he thinks this way now, it means he thought this way before! What are you doing? Why are you doing something that makes you look down upon and makes me lose face?"

"Impossible!" Ji Yawei shook her head and sat down on the sofa, holding her forehead with a headache. "You're overthinking it. He just forgot about us. As soon as he remembers us, he'll definitely regret what he said about us today."

"Am I overthinking it, or are you just too naive? I really don't understand. I've asked you more than once, asking you to pick a house to live in, and you said a friend was lending it to you. I gave you my secondary card, but you said you made a lot of money filming and didn't need it. And what happened? You're living in Tao Rui's house and spending his money. What exactly is your relationship with him?"

"What are you talking about? He's my childhood friend, and he's your brother, it's that simple. I just want to keep my best self in front of you. Is that wrong? I don't want you to see me in such a state of despair and give me your credit card to pay for it."

Mo Haofeng couldn't understand it at all. "So you let another man see how miserable you are and give you his credit card? So I'm your boyfriend, but I'm the one who's kept in the dark. Other men know you better than I do. No wonder Tao Rui keeps trying to persuade me to be with you. It was you who told him about our conflict, right? Do you think we need a third person to help us in our relationship?"

"No, no! You're so rude!" Ji Yawei's tears fell, her face full of grievance. "Why don't you understand? I can pay rent to him when I live in his house, and using his credit card is like borrowing money from a friend. I can just pay it back, no need to feel burdened. But you're my boyfriend, and if I ask for your help, I'll feel like I'm being kept, and that we're not equal."

Mo Haofeng spread his hands, "What's the result? Now Tao Rui thinks you're being kept."

"He doesn't remember, so how can his words count? We've known each other for so long, do you really have to think badly of me? This is such a simple matter, do you have to make me give you some ugly reasons before you believe it? Why don't you believe me?"

"Because Tao Rui himself doesn't believe you." Mo Haofeng was annoyed by her crying and his mind was in a mess.

Seeing this, Ji Yawei knew that he still felt sorry for her, and immediately changed the subject cleverly, "Haofeng, calm down. The most important thing now is to help Tao Rui remember the past."

Mo Haofeng said with a sullen face, "You saw today that Tao Rui doesn't trust us. If I hadn't come to him, he wouldn't have wanted to see us. I think we should not disturb him for now. His eldest brother and the doctor will naturally be able to solve his amnesia."

Mo Haofeng had stayed in this house many times, and just now he just came over out of habit, but now he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it. He had always thought that Ji Yawei had lent the house to her by one of her best friends, and he even thought that Ji Yawei had been living there all along and bought it herself after becoming famous.

Now that he knew this was Tao Rui's house, which Ji Yawei had lived in for free for several years, he couldn't bear to stay any longer. He said perfunctorily, "I have a meeting and will be very busy these few days. I'm leaving first."

"Haofeng..." Ji Yawei called out twice, but Mo Haofeng didn't turn back. She knew that Mo Haofeng was still angry, and this time, it would not be so easy to coax him back. This incident might become a rift between them.

She turned around and saw the crystal ornament Tao Rui had given her. She was so angry that she grabbed it and threw it out.

Tao Rui rested at home for two days and had completely adapted to his current identity and life. Tao Qi had a lot going on at the company, so after confirming that Tao Rui had nothing wrong except his memory loss, he was allowed to move freely. Tao Rui followed Fang Sitong directly to the crew.

Fang Sitong is currently filming a palace fighting drama in Hengdian. Due to her talented acting skills, she was able to play the third female role.

Fang Sitong had only previously acted in one web drama, a supporting role, and her ability to be remembered by some was entirely due to her natural acting. This was her first time filming a full-fledged TV series, and she was signed to Mo Haofeng's company, a role the director was very optimistic about.

But she and Tao Rui were in a high-profile relationship, and she took two days off less than a week after filming, because Tao Rui was injured. The director's impression of her suddenly became much worse. This time when he saw her come back with Tao Rui, he was even more unfriendly to her.

Fang Sitong went to film, and Tao Rui walked over to the director and said hello, and someone immediately brought a chair for him to sit in. No matter what, his status was not to be offended.

Tao Rui smiled and said, "I'm really sorry this time. Something happened to me suddenly, and I scared Tongtong, which delayed the filming progress."

The director said politely, "It's okay. You can catch up if you perform better next time."

"Don't worry, Director Chen. Tongtong won't take any more leave before she finishes filming this movie. I plan to stay with her in Hengdian and am looking for a house. Director Chen, please recommend me a suitable house."

The director responded, but sighed inwardly. Why didn't Fang Sitong take the right path? With her financial sponsor constantly harassing the crew and even living in Hengdian, it was a wonder Fang Sitong could pull off a good role.

Tao Rui saw the director's intentions, and wasn't surprised. A second-generation rich guy like him wouldn't honestly come to film with his girlfriend; he'd just come to have fun. The director might even be wary of him making advances on the other actresses on the set.

He sat quietly beside the director and watched the show, proving with his actions that he had no intention of disrupting anything. Fang Shitong was very nervous at first when Tao Rui was watching her, and she made several NGs. The director didn't scold her because Tao Rui was there. Tao Rui brought a glass of water to Fang Shitong and said with a smile, "You filmed very well. This is the first time I've seen you act. Let's watch your show again at home when it airs."

Fang Sitong was a little embarrassed, "I didn't take a good picture."

"I think it's great. Who doesn't practice to get into acting? I have confidence in you!"

Fang Sitong received great encouragement from him. Not only did she not get nervous anymore, she also performed exceptionally well. Every time she looked at Tao Rui after a performance, she would see his smile and thumbs-up. It was like she was instantly recharged and full of energy.

Director Chen was a little surprised. He had originally wanted to find an excuse to get Tao Rui away, but now that Fang Sitong performed well and the others were also inexplicably performing well, he simply let Tao Rui sit next to him.

Tao Rui occasionally chatted with him when he was free, and they all talked about the play, and he seemed to be quite knowledgeable.

Director Chen's filming went smoothly today and he was in a much better mood. He smiled and said, "Mr. Rui is very knowledgeable. Are you interested in filming?"

Tao Rui shrugged. "My girlfriend likes filming, so I have to do my homework. Otherwise, I won't understand what Tongtong is saying, and we won't be able to talk to each other."

Director Chen was very surprised. Why did this person sound so serious, specifically helping Fang Sitong understand the entertainment industry and filming? He thought Fang Sitong was being pursued by these two people, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Seeing him relax, Tao Rui casually asked, "Do we need more investment for this drama? I'm thinking of getting some investment. I watched it here for a while today and I think this drama is good. Does Director Chen have any intention of collaborating?"

Director Chen's heart moved, and he smiled cheerfully, "The investment is actually almost there. The increase in investment will probably make it look more sophisticated, but the plot remains the same. We've polished the script several times, and everyone's role is already fixed."

This is treating Tao Rui as someone who just throws money at someone and meddles with things. Fang Sitong plays the third female lead, and if she adds to the drama, it will ruin the balance of the palace drama plot, which will be very distracting. Even if you want investment, you can't ask for it.

Tao Rui, who has been in the entertainment industry his entire life, understood this immediately. He waved his hand and said, "Of course, the plot can't be changed arbitrarily. Palace fighting dramas are not easy to write. However, more exquisite costumes and props, more grand scenes, more delicate camera shots, etc., will also affect the effect of a drama. I am very sincere, Director Chen, please consider it."

Director Chen felt half relieved by his words, but the other half, of course, was that he was worried he might say one thing and do another. After that day, Director Chen had someone secretly investigate Tao Rui's behavior and discovered that he was a man of few words, not a man with a bad reputation. He had invested in two shows in the entertainment industry, both produced by Mo Haofeng's company, and there had been no problems. It was even unknown if they hadn't checked.

Director Chen raised funds for this film himself, and after careful consideration, he accepted Tao Rui's investment, totaling 80 million yuan.

Tao Rui suddenly became the boss with the largest investment in the crew, and everyone in the crew was talking about it privately.

"Why did Tao Rui invest in our drama? Is it really because of Fang Sitong?"

"Of course he is. Haven't you seen him come to watch Fang Sitong perform every day?"

"He doesn't just watch Fang Sitong; he watches everyone else's acting. Do you think he's already been assessing whether our crew can pull it off?"

"You know what? When he was watching before, I always thought he was an outsider, just some bored rich kid who came to hang out with us. But now when he's watching again, I feel like... he's checking the staff, checking to see if the actors and crew are doing their job well."

"...Hurry up and get back to work. I feel a chill when you say that. Don't let us be caught doing something wrong and fired."

Ji Yawei and Mo Haofeng soon learned about Tao Rui's investment. Ji Yawei had also come to Hengdian to film a fashion drama and came to visit the set.

When she arrived, Tao Rui happened to receive a call from his elder brother and went to the car to talk on the phone. Ji Yawei went directly to the dressing room to find Fang Sitong.

Everyone else was filming, and Fang Sitong was the only one in the dressing room. She was looking for a makeup remover wipe. Without an assistant, it was easy to lose track of things in such a crowded place with so many people watching.

Ji Yawei took out a makeup remover wipe from her bag and handed it over, saying with a smile, "Use mine."

Fang Sitong recognized her and knew that she was Tao Rui's childhood friend and his brother's girlfriend. She smiled at her and said, "Thank you, Sister Xiaowei."

"Don't be so polite. Are you done filming today? Are you leaving now?"

Fang Sitong said as she removed her makeup, "I have something to do today, so I'll leave a little early." She felt a little embarrassed in front of the company's top female senior, "I usually study on the set, and I really cherish this filming opportunity."

"Are you going on a date with Tao Rui?" Ji Yawei asked tentatively, "Tao Rui is really good to you. His amnesia doesn't affect you at all. He stays with you every day and has invested a lot of money in you."

Fang Sitong wasn't very tactful in her circle, so she quickly explained, "Brother Rui didn't invest because of me. He watched the show and thought it was great. It's a huge sum of money, so he must have invested because he was so impressed. I can't wait to stay on set and study all the time, so how could I go on a date? I left early today because I'm moving."

"move place?"

"Well, Brother Rui plans to accompany me on filming, and he thinks he will be here for most of the year in the future, so he bought a house. Today he said that everything is ready and we will move in soon." Fang Sitong spoke the truth without any intention of showing off, but it made Ji Yawei very uncomfortable, and her smile became a little stiff.

"Tao Rui is so nice to you, even going so far as to accompany you in Hengdian. I never realized he was so good at coaxing his girlfriend before."

Fang Sitong was very happy to hear this, and blushed a little, "Brother Rui said that he had never had a girlfriend before, and now he wants to have a serious relationship."

Ji Yawei thought bitterly, Tao Rui had never had a girlfriend, but he had liked her for over a decade. Now he had forgotten everything, and Fang Sitong had gotten the better of him. Tao Rui had approached Fang Sitong for her sake, so how could he let the fake play become real?

Fang Sitong had already removed her makeup and asked Ji Yawei, "Sister Xiaowei, have you met Brother Rui?"

"No, he seemed to have gone out just now."

Fang Sitong said apologetically, "We can't entertain you today because we're moving. Once we're done packing, we'll invite you to our house for dinner."

Ji Yawei's expression froze, and she forced a smile and nodded, "Why don't we add each other's contact information? We're all friends, so it'll be convenient for us to contact each other in the future."

"Okay." Fang Sitong added her on WeChat and phone, looked at the time and left quickly.

Ji Yawei took a deep breath, unable to understand how things turned out like this. In Tao Rui's house, Fang Sitong was like the hostess. Why did she have the right?

Originally, Ji Yawei regarded Fang Sitong as a love rival, and she disliked her in every way. Now that Tao Rui was snatched away by her, it felt like something very important to her had been taken away by her, and she was angry at the thought.

Besides, Mo Haofeng had always admired Fang Sitong. Ji Yawei had originally intended for Tao Rui to ruin Fang Sitong's acting career and cut off Mo Haofeng's attention to her, but now Tao Rui had invested in Fang Sitong, seemingly wanting to promote her. If Fang Sitong became famous, wouldn't Mo Haofeng be even more interested in her? Their quarrel had intensified her sense of crisis.

She thought that they would all be in Hengdian in the future, so she would see Tao Rui more often. She didn't believe that such a deep love would be forgotten. Tao Rui would definitely remember her, and then Fang Sitong would have to leave their world in disgrace, and everything would return to the way it was before.

Fang Sitong went out and got into Tao Rui's car, and told him about Ji Yawei.

Tao Rui raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't pay attention to her. I think she has some mental problems. If you see her next time, just treat her as someone you know and be polite to her."

Fang Sitong was surprised and asked, "Didn't you grow up together? Besides, she and Mr. Mo..."

Tao Rui smiled and said, "I don't remember. Whether we can be friends in the future depends on fate. Anyway, she is a stranger to me now. Hmm... a bit annoying. Let's not talk about her anymore. Let's look forward to our new house. I decorated it according to your preferences."

"Do you know what my preferences are?"

"Of course. My job now is to be Fang Sitong's boyfriend. If I don't even know this, wouldn't that be incompetent?"

Fang Sitong was amused by him, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Brother Rui, do you have any dreams? Or what kind of job do you want to do?"

"It's just about falling in love with you."

Fang Sitong patted him and said, "Be serious!"

"Okay, serious." Tao Rui thought seriously for a moment and said, "I don't have any dreams. I was born with everything. I just wanted a girlfriend I like, and now I have one. What else do you think I should do?"

Fang Sitong hesitated and said, "But won't you feel lost like this? Will you open your eyes every day and not know what to do?"

"No, I just want to see you happy and famous every day when I open my eyes. Oh, isn't your dream to be a movie queen? Why don't I help you realize your dream? That way I'll have something to do." Tao Rui turned around and looked at her while driving, smiling, "Is this a good idea? It's always more powerful to realize dreams together than alone, right?"

Fang Sitong didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "I don't care about you, just do whatever you want."

The two of them arrived at their new home, located in a well-maintained residential complex. The top floor boasted a 120-square-meter apartment with only one bedroom and an open-plan study, creating a spacious atmosphere. The room, painted in Fang Sitong's favorite light blue, had been professionally designed and furnished. It was a soothing experience, and the moment they entered, they felt relaxed.

There is an outdoor garden upstairs, which gives people a feeling of Alice in Wonderland. Fang Sitong smiled as soon as she went up there, hugged Tao Rui and said in surprise: "This is exactly my style, I love it!"

Tao Rui hugged her and said with a smile, "Here we can bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery. How about it? It's pretty good in Hengdian, right?"

"It's much better than I imagined." Fang Sitong didn't expect that her and Tao Rui's first home would be in Hengdian, and it was so to her liking.

This surprise was too big. The people she loved, the home she loved, and the film and television studio she loved were all together and by her side. At this moment, she felt extremely happy.

While Tao Rui was taking a shower and changing clothes, Fang Sitong took a lot of photos of the new home. Finally, she selected the nine most beautiful ones and posted them on WeChat Moments.

Ji Yawei returned to the hotel alone, ordered takeout, and ate without tasting anything, her mind wandering. She picked up her phone and casually scrolled through her friends circle, and saw Fang Sitong's post about her new home.

It truly felt like Fang Sitong's home, because nothing in the house had any trace of Tao Rui, let alone her. She remembered that when Tao Rui had just moved from the old house to the small villa, he had excitedly shown her the design, saying he would design the house to her liking, so that whenever she went there, it would feel like home.

She was afraid that Tao Rui liked her too much and let Mo Haofeng know, so of course she declined politely and tried her best to persuade Tao Rui not to do that, otherwise it would make everyone unhappy.

Tao Rui was very angry at the time, of course he would never be angry with her for more than a day. Later, Tao Rui left the decoration to the designer and did a casual job of it, looking very unconcerned, as if the decoration had nothing to do with her.

And now, Tao Rui has decorated the house to the way Fang Sitong likes?

She clearly didn't like Tao Rui, so why did she suddenly feel so jealous looking at the photo? Mo Haofeng had never given her such sweetness.

She couldn't help but wonder, if she had agreed to Tao Rui at the beginning, what would Fang Sitong be there for?

She became more and more determined to make Tao Rui remember the past. She had sufficient reasons to convince herself that it was unfair for Tao Rui to think he was in love with Fang Sitong now that he had lost his memory. If she let him continue like this, then if he regained his memory one day and found out that he had done so many things for a woman he didn't love, he would definitely be very painful.

She couldn't just watch Tao Rui make the mistake. It was clearly a misunderstanding, and she was the key to this misunderstanding, so she should resolve it.

Ji Yawei liked Fang Sitong's circle of friends. Tao Rui had already blocked her, so if she wanted to get closer, she could only go through Fang Sitong.

To be on the safe side, she still hoped that Fang Sitong's shining points would fade, so that perhaps she wouldn't have to do anything and Mo Haofeng and Tao Rui would no longer look down on Fang Sitong.

Ji Yawei called her agent and asked him to check the advertisements and endorsements Fang Sitong had taken.

Fang Sitong is not very famous now. She only has one decent and high-end skin care product endorsement. She has just expressed the intention to sign a contract, but has not officially signed it yet.

Ji Yawei asked her assistant to buy the skincare product, dumped out half the bottle, and then took a short video while doing her skincare routine that night and uploaded it to Xiaohongshu. She was very cunning and didn't recommend it directly. Instead, when she took the skincare product, she accidentally revealed a small part of the bottle and said that she had always liked a certain skincare product and had already emptied the bottle several times.

As an A-list celebrity with a high profile, she rarely introduces products, and her red potato is used to interact with fans. This time, fans were pleasantly surprised to discover her favorite product, and speculated that she accidentally let the skincare product appear in the photo during the shoot.

Fans quickly found out what the skin care product was, and then of course they started buying it, getting the same product as their idol in minutes!

Overnight, the topic of her love for this skincare product shot to the top of trending searches, and reports of her boosting sales surfaced in meetings at skincare companies. Since she personally loves it, having her as a spokesperson would certainly be even better, and it would be a welcome surprise for the skincare company, given that she's an A-list celebrity.

The company contacted her immediately, and Ji Yawei readily agreed. They sent someone to sign the contract with her.

Fang Sitong felt a little disappointed. Tao Rui knew without hesitation that it was Ji Yawei's trick. He put his arm around Fang Sitong and said, "How about I open an entertainment company? You can be my pillar, and I'll give you exclusive access to all the company's resources."
