“Why not? You said it yourself. You can ask your friends later: Young Master Jiang, Young Master Bai, Young Master Xie, and your nephew.” Chen Xihua spoke with absolute certainty, without a trace of guilt.
She couldn't possibly feel no resentment at all after he said those things to the Chen family.
It's perfect timing, since he's currently suffering from amnesia and probably doesn't know the whole story yet, let's see how he reacts.
"No, I did say that, and I believe it, but I'm sure I didn't say it to you."
Lu Zhengjing wasn't in a hurry to explain. As if he understood Chen Xihua's meaning, he thought about it carefully before speaking solemnly:
"Even though I have amnesia now, I don't think it will affect my judgment or my decisions."
"What I'm about to say might not be pleasant, but I don't want to lie to you. From what you just said about the Chen family, there are three possibilities for me."
First, China is such a large country that families that favor sons over daughters and rely on the powerful and wealthy are certainly numerous, if not everywhere.
So, before I met your Chen family, we were just strangers. What does your Chen family have to do with me?
At that time, I didn't look down on the Chen family; rather, I shouldn't have even considered them.
Secondly, when I learned about the Chen family, the relationship was just ordinary; the Chen family must have been related to the people around me.
Putting aside any other factors, personally speaking, I would say that I genuinely didn't want my relatives and friends to date the Chen family's daughters, so that was probably my true feeling at the time.
But actually, this had little to do with me; it was just out of concern for my relatives and friends.
If their love is truly unwavering and the man insists on his decision without holding a grudge, then what I said will have no effect.
So, it must have been under these circumstances that I said those words.
The person in question is definitely not you or me; it's probably one of your sisters, one of my friends, or my nephew.
I could never say such a thing to someone I like.
Third, and most importantly, once I like you, it doesn't matter how much your Chen family favors sons over daughters or how opportunistic they are.
As long as you haven't committed any acts of betrayal against your nation, your country, or crimes like murder and arson, I will tolerate you and your family without any limits, and I will extend that tolerance to you as well.
In fact, I feel quite fortunate that you, Chen Jiaru, are really like that, with some scheming thoughts of currying favor, so I can better win over your parents.
My Lu family is considered a well-off family in Beijing, which is an advantage that complements your family.
I like you, and I happen to have the means for you to be with me, so I don't have to worry about you looking down on me.
Of course, although I can't remember it now, I now think that the information I gathered about your family back then was definitely not accurate.
So, is this why you're upset with me?
We were dating before, right?
"No, we have nothing to do with each other!" Chen Xihua immediately denied.
Damn, this man is a hypocrite. At this moment, she felt a strange mix of emotions, realizing that she herself was also a hypocrite.
As she listened, she actually started to think that what he said made a lot of sense. She even agreed with what he said and almost fell for his trick. What should she do?
Damn it, lust has clouded my judgment!
Lu Zhengjing observed Chen Xihua's changing expression and suddenly felt that now was the perfect time: "I like you. Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
"...Ahem, well, now that you've lost your memory, anything you say is meaningless. If you still feel the same way after you regain your memory, I'll agree."
Was she digging her own grave? Although the other party had amnesia, Chen Xihua had previously said that this matter was over and done with.
She shouldn't have been so dramatic. She brought it up again while he was in amnesia, only to find that deep down she still couldn't truly forgive him.
Ironically, whenever he appeared in front of her, she couldn't help but be attracted to his looks.
Since some things all go through a phase: dislike, doubt, understanding, and participation.
So why waste her time and energy? She should just join first; the order doesn't have to be reversed.
Chen Xihua had already decided in her heart to give both sides a chance; she shouldn't be the kind of person who hesitated.
However, at this moment, she was still somewhat overwhelmed. This man was a bit arrogant because of his 'amnesia,' so she decided to wait until he regained his memory.
Once she made the decision, she felt pretty good. She turned around, opened the door, and went out to slip away for a while.
Just then, she heard Old Man Qin calling her from outside the corridor. Old Man Qin must have met with the Qin family and expressed how much he missed them.
"Okay, then wait for me." Lu Zhengjing's voice, which was a mix of regret and smugness, came from the ward.
Chen Xihua went outside and saw that Qin Lao's eyes were red and he was standing not far from the door of ward 901. She quickly went up to help him.
"Xiao Wu, another day I'll take you to the Qin family to formally meet my family. Now, let's head back."
Originally, Old Master Qin and his wife wanted to see Chen Xihua right away, but when the three of them met just now, they couldn't suppress their emotions and vented them fiercely.
All three of them cried, their eyes were moist, and their emotions were quite turbulent. People of their status would not choose to meet with outsiders at this time.
"Teacher, are you going to live at the Qin residence from now on?" Chen Xihua asked uncertainly.
"No, my older brother said it's up to me. I'll still live in your courtyard house from now on. You said you'd take care of me in my old age," the old man said smugly, as if he had won.
In fact, what Old Qin said was: For more than 30 years, you stayed in the remote Shanghe Village and were so heartless as not to come back to see me and my family. There was nothing I could do about it.
Now, I can't just tie you up and beat you up!
Now that you're back in Beijing, I'd be very happy to see you more often.
You can live wherever you like, but you should come back to the Qin residence from time to time to have meals and get together with your family.
Chen Xihua's guess was probably just that!
...
Two days later, Wednesday afternoon at six o'clock, Zhou Family Imperial Chef Private Kitchen.
In the center of the dining hall, a newly installed color television is broadcasting current events:
Qin Lao, the third-ranking official of China, was attacked on his way back from a visit to the United States. Fortunately, the soldiers protecting him and the seventh master of the Lu family guarded him closely, and Qin Lao returned home safely.
"Damn Americans, thank goodness Old Qin is alright." A middle-aged male guest at the dining table directly in front of the television said angrily.
"Yes, to be honest, the seventh master of the Lu family is still the most skilled. Even though he retired from the military a few years ago, his skills are still extraordinary. It's just that he seems to be injured." A slightly plump woman opposite the middle-aged male customer echoed with concern.
“I have a relative who works as a nurse at the military hospital. She said that Master Lu has woken up and should be fine, but…” He has amnesia.
Another tall, thin customer at the next table leaned over and whispered mysteriously, but didn't say the last three words, "amnesia," he just mouthed them.
The guests who watched the news while eating all started discussing current events in small groups after their meal.
At the end of the news report, a replay of a previous report on Chen Xiuhua, China's youngest mathematician, who proved the Sd conjecture and published it in the international S journal was also shown.
At that moment, Zhou Qingqing and Gu Tingxiao walked in side by side outside the door.
P.S.: Mini-drama
Lu Zhengjing: I broke up my nephew and future sister-in-law using my own abilities. If anyone disagrees, let them try to break me up with Chen Xiaowu and see what happens.
Chen Xihua: This guy is really a jerk.
Lu Zhengjing: Wife, I was wrong.
Chen Xihua: ...........
