Chapter 98

The commotion from Jin Chuwan's side traveled through the phone line to Cheng Ya's ears. She subconsciously pressed her forehead, then felt a little empty in her palms, as if she really wanted to grab someone and shake them hard.

What era are we living in? Amnesia?

Amnesia?

A complete idiot who's good for nothing but causing trouble, always making things worse.

If she finds out he took advantage of Wanwan, he can forget about ever coming back!

--

Cheng Ya was in a complete mess.

Meanwhile, the situation on the other side was also chaotic and turbulent.

She first took Cheng Xiucheng, who was curious about everything after losing his memory, to get checked out. After confirming that he could be discharged from the hospital, she took him to the SPF to give a statement and collect information. Finally, she took him home and explained their relationship.

“Your name is Cheng Xiucheng, and your younger sister's name is Cheng Ya. We have been classmates since childhood and have always had a good relationship. Later, I worked in Singapore and lived in Cheng Ya's house here. You came here not long ago, so we are temporarily sharing this apartment.”

Not long ago, Cheng Ya called and said that it would be best to cover up Cheng Xiucheng's car accident for a while, because if it were exposed now, it would not only arouse suspicion from the outside world, but also potentially affect the stock price. So her idea was to ask Jin Chuwan not to mention the family company to Cheng Xiucheng for the time being, and just let him focus on recovering.

After much consideration, Kim Cho-wan finally agreed.

In fact, rumors about internal strife within the Cheng family have been circulating widely, even though the heir to the Cheng family has already been determined.

Therefore, it is understandable that Cheng Ya has concerns.

But Cheng Xiucheng...

Looking at the man who had become quiet and obedient after losing his memory, Jin Chuwan felt a mix of emotions.

He seemed to genuinely remember nothing, looking around in bewilderment. Yet, he also seemed to trust her completely. From the moment he woke up in the hospital, he would nod at everything she said. Occasionally, when she left for a while and returned, she would see him looking anxious and flustered, as if he were terrified of being abandoned by her…

Jin Chuwan felt it was a kind of chick fetish, but she actually had the illusion of taking care of a child.

Because someone really has too many problems.

His current appearance is hard to reconcile with the arrogant and willful Crown Prince of the Cheng family he once was.

Having not been home for two days, the house was still exactly as it had been before she left. Jin Chuwan sighed and began tidying up the house.

To be honest, as a roommate, Cheng Xiucheng actually has many advantages. For example, he can cook and do laundry. Even when he smokes, he does it secretly and tries his best to get rid of the remaining smoke smell before she gets off work.

But occasionally Jin Chuwan would catch him, and whenever that happened, he would just stubbornly deny it, accusing her of having a problem with her nose or that she brought it in from outside.

In short, it has nothing to do with him.

Kim Cho-wan disliked this unreasonable behavior.

But after all, it's his own sister's house, so she can't really kick him out.

"This...is this our home?"

Upon entering, Cheng Xiucheng appeared somewhat excited, dragging his bandaged arm as he surveyed the various rooms before finally returning to Jin Chuwan's side.

"It doesn't look very big. Are we two poor?"

After listening, Jin Chuwan glanced at the nearly 200-square-meter apartment and remained silent for a long time before sighing.

"I guess so...after all, you don't have a job right now..."

"If I don't have a job... then where will I get the money?"

Cheng Xiucheng looked shocked. He seemed to instinctively think he was doing well, but Jin Chuwan's next words were like a bucket of cold water being poured on him.

"Currently, it seems that Cheng Ya is the one transferring money to you."

Jin Chuwan felt a little guilty after speaking, but she had heard that this guy had been slacking off for half a year and hadn't asked about the company's affairs, so Cheng Ya should be the main force making money for the family now.

Hearing this, Cheng Xiucheng seemed very disappointed. He sat alone on the sofa and fell into silence until Jin Chuwan finished tidying up the room. Then he suddenly stood up and walked to her with a serious expression.

Jin Chuwan was still holding a mop. She thought wearily that she should hire a housekeeper next time. Cleaning such a big house was too hard on her back.

"I'll go out and look for a job in a few days!"

Cheng Xiucheng spoke with the solemnity of a reformed convict.

Kim Cho-wan, who was lost in thought, nodded unconsciously, while Sung Soo-seung, as if encouraged, continued.

"Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to support you and Cheng Ya from now on!"

Just as Kim Cho-wan was about to nod again, she suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

Why should I need you to support me?

When Cheng Xiucheng heard her ask this, he suddenly hesitated and lowered his head, looking as innocent as a male high school student who was almost thirty years old.

"Well, you're very close to my sister, so you're practically like my sister too..."

After hearing this, Jin Chuwan simply covered her mouth and didn't say anything more. To be honest, Cheng Xiucheng's behavior was somewhat difficult for her to accept...

It's really hard to adapt...

But considering that he was injured and his hands were still wrapped in bandages and plaster, Jin Chuwan still coaxed him: "You should... not think about such things for now. The doctor said you need to rest now. Maybe your memory will recover quickly after you get better. You forgot that you were in a car accident. The criminals haven't been caught yet, so you have to stay at home obediently, okay?"

Cheng Xiucheng's greatest strength right now is that he is obedient.

He nodded and then asked, "And what about you?"

"I need to go back to the company first, since there are still a few cases that haven't been resolved. Once they're all settled, I'll take some annual leave to take good care of you at home."

Kim Cho-man swore she had never been so gentle with Sung Soo-seung.

He was indeed pleased, obediently nodding and even escorting Jin Chuwan to the entrance. However, when closing the door, Jin Chuwan suddenly paused.

She glanced at the man who had also changed his shoes and was standing beside her, and after a moment's hesitation, she smiled and said, "Didn't we agree that you would rest at home?"

"But all I want is to be with you..."

Cheng Xiucheng knew that what he was doing was wrong, but he didn't know why, he just didn't want Jin Chuwan to leave his sight. He lowered his head, showing a bit of grievance.

"...Is that not allowed?"

The man was tall and strong, making Jin Chuwan appear slender in comparison.

She pressed her forehead, looking somewhat helpless.

Under normal circumstances, she would have let him go home without hesitation, but now he is injured, he has no family, he remembers nothing, and he looks honest and pitiful.

“I’ll be very busy with work and may not be able to take care of you. If you go there, you’ll just sit in the office and space out, which will be very boring.”

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of being bored!"

The man laughed as he spoke, and all the way he kept swearing that he would never interfere with Jin Chuwan's work.

After Jin Chuwan brought the person to the company, his colleagues just treated him as a party involved in a case, glancing at him sideways, and remained relatively calm.

If her phone wasn't vibrating wildly.

Jin Chuwan glanced at the interface briefly and was speechless at the screen full of "Who is he?" "Who is he to you?" "Does he have anyone?"

These people are really...

Jin Chuwan glanced outside the office and saw the blonde woman who had just sent her a message wink at her.

Soon another message appeared on her chat screen.

"100 Singapore dollars, I want all his information."

Jin Chuwan chuckled softly, then closed the chat interface in front of her blonde sister.

The matter of her taking over the case before is still fresh in everyone's minds. Today, she can act as a go-between for anyone but her!

At this moment, Cheng Xiucheng was unaware that he had become the target of some women's eyes. He happily pushed a chair from another desk over and sat down next to Jin Chuwan.

"So Wanwan is a lawyer..."

Kim Cho-wan nodded, then casually picked up two books from the bookshelf behind her and handed them to Sung Soo-seung.

"I have to go to work now. If you're bored, you can look at this, but be careful not to hurt yourself. I have a case to go to court later. You can wait here for me, or you can go and observe the proceedings..."

Before Kim Cho-wan could speak, Sung Soo-seung looked up and said earnestly, "I want to be with you!"

"Okay, let's go together then..."

Jin Chuwan has given up on reasoning with Cheng Xiucheng. She just treats him like someone with mental disabilities and tries to appease him. As long as it doesn't affect her work, everything else is a minor issue.

Jin Chuwan was organizing the case materials. By the time she came to her senses, it was almost lunchtime. During this time, Cheng Xiucheng did not disturb her once. Instead, he was engrossed in reading a book.

She seemed to have almost forgotten that this guy, who always did whatever he wanted, was actually a PhD in finance.

Thinking of this, Jin Chuwan suddenly asked a few questions about financing fraud.

She just wanted to talk to someone about the case, but she didn't expect that Cheng Xiucheng would answer Jin Chuwan after only a little thought.

It was well-organized and logical, and they could even give several typical examples.

This impressed Kim Cho-wan, and she then started chatting with Sung Soo-seung. Although his current look was a bit funny, he was quite professional when answering questions.

But during the conversation, he still couldn't help but do silly things.

"I think I might have some talent. How about I become your assistant from now on, and once we've saved enough money, we can start our own firm and go it alone?"

Jin Chuwan thought about Cheng Jia's countless businesses and looked at the man in front of her who had already started to come up with a name for his agency. She felt a little annoyed and a little amused.

"I've already told you, your most important thing right now is to recover your health and regain your memory. Don't think about anything else..."

After Jin Chuwan finished speaking, she put the documents in the drawer and locked them. Usually, everyone would have already started preparing and ordering food by now, but today her office was quiet and no one came to ask her what she wanted to order.

She was a little confused, but after seeing a few encouraging text messages, she immediately understood.

When Jin Chuwan went out, she saw Tan Xiao and Huang Ying, who were supposed to be working opposite her, sharing a computer. When they saw her come out, they winked at her in perfect unison.

Jin Chuwan slowly slung her bag over her shoulder and smiled meaningfully.

Looks like yesterday's concert date went well, those two.

Cheng Xiucheng followed behind. The moment he came out, the person who had been making faces instantly turned into a gentleman. The scene was quite funny, but Jin Chuwan just shook her head and didn't explain.

Let the misunderstanding continue. As long as Cheng Xiucheng hasn't recovered, she'll be responsible. In any case, people will still misunderstand her eventually, so it's fine to start now.

Before leaving, Jin Chuwan chatted with her team leader about her plan to take annual leave. The team leader smiled, waved his hand, and gave her an expression that said, "I understand, go ahead."

Jin Chuwan was somewhat stunned by the smooth approval. She hadn't expected that bringing Cheng Xiucheng would be so useful, and she couldn't help but smile when she looked at him again.

"What would you like to eat later? It's on me."

Seeing Kim Cho-wan laugh, Sung Soo-seung also laughed. People upstairs were peeking frantically through the office windows, exclaiming "Ouch, ouch!"

Kim Cho-wan didn't notice any of this; she led Sung Soo-seung to her favorite restaurant and they sat down.

The food here is delicious and the environment is elegant. Soon after, a waiter brought over a glass of water, and Jin Chuwan thanked him politely.

It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was getting busier. Jin Chuwan picked up her water glass, took a sip, and then put it aside.

Cheng Xiucheng was still choosing from the menu. He was like a rebellious kid who had been defiant for fifteen years who had suddenly become sensible and understood the hardship of supporting a family. Jin Chuwan saw him constantly glancing at the prices on the menu and then pretended to be disdainful.

"I don't think this place is very good. How about we go to the noodle shop next door instead..."

It was hot outside, and there weren't many people walking on the street. Jin Chuwan glanced at the man across the street reading a newspaper under the blazing sun, and a smile flashed across her eyes.

"No need, we'll eat here."

That man had been following them all the way.

Although it doesn't look very professional.
