Chapter 62: If I still miss him in the third life, how can I justify it...
"You are now on an isolated island, cut off from the world. Someone told you that it is a pure land with bright sunshine, singing birds and fragrant flowers. But you are the only one here, without a father, a mother, friends or your idol. You need to go out."
"Now, follow my voice and go east. You will find a small boat on the coast. You will get on it and row the boat, getting farther and farther away from the island..."
"When you get tired of rowing, you fall asleep. The boat floats on the sea. When you open your eyes again, you find a beautiful beach in front of you. There are your father and mother on the beach. They are looking at you and smiling."
"You remembered who you are. Your name is Jiang Ke'er, your father is Jiang Zhengguo, your mother is Bai Yuewan, and your idol is Qin Jiangyue."
"Jiang Ke'er, open your eyes, and you will be completely away from that isolated island."
Jiang Ke'er, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
Bai Shuxing stood up from his chair, walked to the bedside table, picked up the cup of water, and poured it on the gilded incense burner next to him that was emitting a faint fragrance.
Jiang Zhengguo and Bai Yuewan walked to the bed, looked at their daughter with a confused look in her eyes, and then looked at Bai Shuxing who had his arms around her.
The words in his eyes were: Is that all?
Bai Shuxing shrugged.
Jiang Zhengguo stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Jiang Keer.
Jiang Keer's eyes slowly focused and became clear.
"Dad, Mom? Why did you come in? What's going on?"
Jiang Ke'er noticed from the corner of her eye that there was a person standing at the end of the bed. She looked closely and her eyes suddenly widened. She exclaimed in surprise: "Yuebao!"
Jiang Ke'er threw back the quilt on her body, and rushed from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, looking at Qin Jiangyue with sparkling eyes: "Yuebao, why did you come to my house?"
Qin Jiangyue looked at Bai Shuxing and asked: Doesn’t she remember what happened before?
Bai Shuxing raised his eyebrows, walked to Qin Jiangyue, and said calmly: "That kind of low-level hypnosis can't make her forget her memory. She just hasn't reacted yet."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Keer's face changed, and everything that had happened in the past few days flashed through her mind.
Jiang Ke'er slumped down on the bed and shook her head, "No, I didn't do it. I didn't do it."
"Believe me, Yuebao. I really didn't do those things." Jiang Ke'er reached out and grabbed Qin Jiangyue's hand, looking up at him, her eyes full of guilt and shaky hope, "I don't know what happened. I really don't know. I never thought of hurting you."
Qin Jiangyue held Jiang Keer's hand and soothed the girl who was on the verge of emotional collapse with a gentle voice: "Keer, calm down first and listen to me."
"I know you didn't do this. I know that." Qin Jiangyue looked into Jiang Ke'er's eyes. "You were hypnotized."
"Hypnosis?" Jiang Ke'er repeated to herself in a low voice.
"Yes, hypnosis. Someone hypnotized you, and those things were done by the person who hypnotized you." Qin Jiangyue's eyes were full of apology: "I'm sorry, Ke'er, the person behind this is coming for me, and you are implicated by me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have encountered these things."
Jiang Ke'er shook her head, tears in her eyes, but she smiled and said, "Yuebao, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the bad guys."
Bai Shuxing stood by with his arms folded, looking at the scene with a hint of fatigue in his eyes. He rubbed his brows and interrupted the sentimental scene with a voice, "This kind of low-level hypnosis is only useful for people with weak minds. But I don't think you are weak-willed. So, before this happened, what happened to you that hit you? During this period, was there anyone who appeared by your side, and who did you trust very much?"
Jiang Ke'er's eyes widened slightly: "You mean, it was her? It was Jiang Wu who hypnotized me?"
"Who is Jiang Wu?"
Jiang Ke'er lowered her eyes and whispered, "Half a month ago, I found out that Jiang Zihang was cheating on me, and I was very sad. When I was crying by the river, I met a girl. She said she understood how I felt because her boyfriend was also a scumbag who was cheating on her multiple times. After that day, we talked frequently."
"After this chat, do you feel better?" Bai Shuxing asked.
Jiang Ke'er thought about it for a moment and was stunned. "No, every time we talked, I felt even sadder."
After listening to this, Bai Shuxing looked up at Jiang Zhengguo and said calmly, "You really know how to raise a daughter."
When Jiang Zhengguo heard Bai Shuxing suddenly praise his daughter, he grinned instinctively.
"As the director of the Public Security Bureau and someone who has worked in criminal investigation for decades, you are quite capable to raise your daughter to be so simple and smart." Bai Shuxing gave Jiang Zhengguo a thumbs up.
"Hey, you kid!" Jiang Zhengguo was unhappy and pointed at Bai Shuxing: "Are you looking for a fight?"
Qin Jiangyue took a step to the left and stood in front of Bai Shuxing. "I'm sorry, Director Jiang, Shuxing doesn't know how to speak. Please forgive me and don't argue with him."
Jiang Zhengguo snorted coldly and said nothing.
Bai Shuxing glanced at Qin Jiangyue indifferently, and Qin Jiangyue pretended not to see it.
"Ke'er, take a look, is that girl you met her?" Qin Jiangyue pulled out the photo Ling Siyan sent her from her phone and asked Jiang Ke'er.
"That's her!" Jiang Ke'er recognized her at a glance. "Although she was wearing heavy makeup when she appeared in front of me, they are the same person."
"It's Su Ranran." Lin Zhenzhen looked at Ling Siyan who had just entered the room with complicated eyes.
"What is Su Ranran?" Ling Siyan raised her eyebrows as she looked at Lin Zhenzhen, who seemed different from before she fell into a coma.
She was going to go to Jiang's house with Qin Jiangyue and the others, but just as she arrived at the hospital gate, the nurse called to say that Lin Zhenzhen had woken up, so she stayed. "It was Su Ranran who changed everything." Lin Zhenzhen looked straight at Ling Siyan, "Aunt Ling, you were also reborn, right?"
Ling Siyan's eyes fixed, and she asked calmly, "Why do you ask that?"
"Aunt Ling, the Han Chengyu, me, and you in my memory do not exist in the parallel world you mentioned. Rather, you also have no memory of your first life." Lin Zhenzhen pursed her lips, "Aunt Ling, I have been reborn twice."
"In my first life, Han Chengyu and I met, fell in love, and eventually got married. After marriage, Aunt Ling treated me like her own daughter. There was no mother-in-law or daughter-in-law problem. My husband was gentle and considerate, and my life was smooth."
"In my second life, before I met Han Chengyu, my life was completely ruined. The day before the college entrance examination, I was kidnapped, and then my face was scratched and my fingers were broken. The kidnapper only told me that I was blocking someone else's way."
"Now this is my third life. I was reborn a week before the college entrance examination. Although I have the memory of my second life, I don't know who wants to destroy me. So, I can only choose to avoid it. I took the college entrance examination secretly and left J City secretly."
"It wasn't until I got hurt in the head this time that I regained the memory of my first life. After I woke up, I remembered the memories of my previous life and this life—" Lin Zhenzhen sneered: "I finally know whose way I was blocking."
Ling Siyan looked at Lin Zhenzhen in silence for a long time before asking her, "So, do you still love Han Chengyu?"
Lin Zhenzhen did not answer but asked: "Aunt Ling, what about you? Do you still love Han Chengyu? Are you asking this for Han Chengyu or for Emperor Qin?"
"For Jiang Yue." Ling Siyan already understood what Lin Zhenzhen meant, so she might as well say it directly, "Jiang Yue is not only an artist under my company, he is also my nephew. He was abducted when he was a child and grew up in an orphanage. He suffered a lot. I hope he can find someone he truly loves."
"As for Han Chengyu, the relationship between him and me as a mother and son had already come to an end in the last life. In this life, he is just a stranger to me. If he still wants to protect Su Ranran, he will be my enemy." Ling Siyan looked into Lin Zhenzhen's eyes and asked, "You think so too, right?"
Lin Zhenzhen's lips curled up slightly, but a barely perceptible sadness flashed across her eyes. She nodded, "Yes. I don't hate Han Chengyu, but I can't love him without any reservations. To love someone, you must love yourself first. If I still miss him, how can I be worthy of myself whose life was ruined in my previous life?"
"Well said." Ling Siyan agreed, "Love yourself first, then love someone who is worthy of love..."
“Bang!”
"Enter!"
Aunt Li came in with a thermos bucket and said, "Miss, this is the porridge you asked me to cook."
Ling Siyan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Li."
Then he turned to Lin Zhenzhen and said, "You haven't eaten for a few days. Eat some porridge first."
"Thank you Aunt Ling."
Aunt Li served Lin Zhenzhen some porridge, walked over to Ling Siyan, and whispered, "Miss, I have something to tell you."
Ling Siyan's eyes flashed.
"Aunt Li, what do you want to say?" Ling Siyan asked, leaning against the balcony railing.
Aunt Li took out a transparent glass bottle from her pocket, which was half filled with white powder. "Miss, this is what Zhao Mingqi gave me. He asked me to put it in the hot milk that I give to you and the young master every day. I don't know what this is, but it's definitely not a good thing."
Ling Siyan took the glass bottle and carefully examined the white powder in the bottle under the sunlight while asking, "Aunt Li, who is Zhao Mingqi? Why did he ask you to do this?"
"He is my son. He told me that he owed gambling debts outside, and the creditor asked him to do this. If he didn't do this, the creditor would sell him, his wife and children abroad."
Ling Siyan's eyes were still on the glass bottle, and she said in a calm tone, "Then why didn't Aunt Li do as I said?"
Aunt Li smiled bitterly, "Thirteen years ago, it was the young lady who saved me from the fire. If it weren't for the young lady, I would have died at the hands of that beast Zhao Sheng. Later, she gave me a place to live so that I wouldn't be homeless. The young lady was very kind to me, how could I repay her with hatred?"
It turns out that you also knew that I had been very kind to you, so why did you choose to repay my kindness with hatred in your last life?
"But, Aunt Li, you didn't do what I told you. So you don't worry about the safety of Zhao Mingqi and his wife and children? They are your own son and grandson."
