Chapter 12
"...Brain damage makes it impossible to reconstruct memories. Judging from the examination results, after the brain trauma, she must have received incorrect treatment, with her original memories being overwritten by memories that did not belong to her. This kind of damage is irreversible, just like a computer program. If it is deleted, there is a possibility of recovery, but if it is overwritten by something new over a long period of time, the original memory will no longer exist."
As Shen Que stood in the corridor of the private hospital, listening to the intermittent conversation in the office, the last trace of hesitation in his heart vanished.
She turned around abruptly, and Huo Junyan's voice made her stop in her tracks.
"Is there no other way?" The voice was very soft.
There was a moment of silence.
"...Assuming she has just suffered amnesia, the best treatment is to let her be with people she trusts and likes, and use familiar scenes, preferably with people or things that have emotional significance, to stimulate her memory blind spots and awaken the memory chain through scene recreation. Right now, her brain is not arranged in an objective logical order, meaning that false memories have completely replaced real memories."
"Is there no other way?" Huo Zixi's voice was sharp as he repeated Huo Junyan's words.
"First, take medication on time and have follow-up examinations on time. Second, use real memories to stimulate the body."
"Can it be restored?"
"The chances are slim; it depends on how well the patient accepts it."
Huo Zixi choked for a moment, then glanced at Huo Junyan. "Why isn't she here yet?" She peeked into the corridor. "Still not here?"
Bodyguard: "They've already left."
He was just about to remind him when the person left.
Huo Zixi turned around and said, "She must have heard everything. I'll call her."
Huo Junyan stopped him, and Huo Zixi said anxiously, "Uncle, she heard everything. I know her. Knowing her personality, she will definitely go to Zhou Yubai. I'm worried that something will happen to her."
"She doesn't like others interfering in her affairs, and by not getting involved, she made her stance clear."
They both knew it.
Huo Zixi was taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Chu Ci was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment and would definitely seek revenge. Having suffered such a great injustice, she would never swallow her anger and would never like others to do things for her.
"But, Uncle, she's completely unprepared. How can she possibly fight Zhou Yubai?"
"Completely unprepared? I doubt it."
Holding the medical report, Huo Junyan remained lost in thought for a long time before suddenly smiling, "She won't have any more accidents."
Chen Que went to work as usual.
After completing the final testing of the software, the results were approved at the high-level meeting, and the project trial funding was successfully applied for.
"I brought you a midnight snack," Lin Muchen knocked on the door, glancing at Xingxing fast asleep on the sofa. "Still haven't found a suitable nanny?"
"Um."
Shen Que opened the lunchbox and stared at the software simulation page while eating.
Lin Muchen also came over and asked, "Is everything alright?"
"Um."
"How about we wait until the investment seminar tomorrow is approved, and then I'll help you find another housekeeping company? We'll be able to find a suitable nanny. Xingxing isn't getting enough rest these days."
Shen Que glanced at her and said, "I'll only be busy for a few days. We have a part-time housekeeper at home. We'll talk about the nanny later."
"I didn't taste anything different in Aunt Liu's cooking," she said, glancing at the lunchbox she'd put down after a few bites. "By the way, Aunt Liu's case has a result today. She only got 21,000 yuan in medical expenses as compensation. Honestly, Xingxing suffered so much injustice, who cares about such a pittance? Also, the bracelet hasn't been found, and there's no evidence of who stole it. Should we arrange for the legal department to continue the appeal?"
“They called me, I know everything,” Shen Que said, typing on the keyboard. “I won’t appeal.”
"Indeed, whether it's Aunt Liu or her relatives, they could easily hide the bracelet and it would be impossible to find it."
"Um."
Lin Muchen stared at the dense code on the screen, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Once our project passes the investment seminar tomorrow, President Zhou will have the support of the shareholders and will have complete control of the company. He will no longer need to be at the mercy of those old guys. Chairman Yao will no longer dare to make things difficult for him. President Zhou has really worked hard all these years."
Shen Que gave her a deep look but didn't reply.
"You," Lin Muchen swiveled his chair, not noticing her earlier look, "what are your plans then?"
"What?"
Lin Muchen stopped, staring blankly at her. Chen Que turned his head away, and she quickly looked away, coughing lightly. "I mean, when President Zhou has the final say, what do you most want to do?"
“He controls the company; you should ask him what he most wants to do.”
Shen Que uploaded and submitted the dynamic results, took a sip of water, and stretched his neck.
Lin Muchen pursed his lips, hesitated for a long time, and then chuckled awkwardly, "I was talking about you. We'll definitely have a say then. What do you want?"
"Um……"
Shen Que stood up and stretched his back. "I will increase the software division of the engineering department by 10 times, and then organize a 30-day paid trip to Africa for the department. Xingxing has always wanted to see the Great Migration of animals. Then... I will join the board of directors and become President Zhou's boss, hehe~."
Lin Muchen chuckled, then lowered his head and sighed almost imperceptibly.
After shutting down the computer, Shen Que got dressed, picked up Xingxing, and Zhou Yubai knocked on the door and entered, saying, "Let me hold her."
“It’s nothing,” Shen Que stepped aside, “Mu Chen, can you help me with my bag?”
Zhou Yubai awkwardly withdrew his hand, and the three of them got off the elevator. Chen Que gestured to Lin Muchen, "The car keys are in my bag."
"I'll take you and Xingxing back, and don't wake them up again."
"Let me drive, Mr. Zhou. You have a tough battle to fight tomorrow, so you need to get a good rest tonight."
Shen Que placed Xingxing in the back seat child seat, fastened the seat belt, touched his sleeping son's face, and gently closed the car door.
"You should take Mu Chen home; she's been really struggling these past few days."
He took the bag from Lin Muchen and drove away.
Looking in the rearview mirror, his eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.
Tomorrow, we'll see everything.
The car drove into the underground garage, and a silver-gray luxury car was parked in her parking space. Chen Que glanced at it and tacitly parked the car in the temporary parking space.
I parked the car, turned off the engine, looked back, and saw Xingxing with a bright smile on her face.
She smiled and shook her head, slung her bag over her shoulder, and prepared to get out of the car to hug her son.
The car door was next to a load-bearing pillar, so she couldn't open it too wide. She stepped out to the side, took a small step back, and closed the driver's side door. Suddenly, a tall, dark figure went around the load-bearing pillar and enveloped her in his arms.
"you……"
Before she could even finish speaking, she was pressed against the rear window of the car. A dark shadow loomed over her, and her slightly parted lips were unexpectedly pressed against his. He rubbed against her repeatedly with almost frenzied passion, and his hot kisses greedily spread to her neck, as if he wanted to unleash all the anger that had been building up for years.
All of this happened so suddenly that Shen Que had no time to react and was caught in a state of confusion and infatuation.
Her lack of refusal only emboldened him further. Unsatisfied, he reached down and pulled off her collar, revealing her porcelain-white shoulders. Her back pressed against the cold car window, and her collarbone was devoured by his lips and tongue.
It was a sudden contrast between extremes.
The body is often more honest than the brain.
This honesty is unrelated to memory.
“Yay—Remus, how are you? Oh dear—it’s best not to put it in neutral in front of a race car…”
The sudden sound startled the two, causing them to abruptly separate.
He was breathing heavily and looked around anxiously.
He leaned against the supporting pillar, his lips slightly red, glanced at it, and smiled.
Shen Que followed his gaze and saw that Xingxing inside the car window had woken up at some point and was waving at them with Lightning McQueen in his hand.
He wiped his lips, coughed a few times, opened the car door, unbuckled his seatbelt, and took his son out.
"Turn off the music."
Xingxing turned off the music, looked up at Huo Junyan, and asked, "Mommy, do you like Uncle?"
Chen Que: ?
I've never been this embarrassed before.
For a moment, she didn't know how to explain this to her four-year-old son.
When did he wake up?!
Huo Junyan picked up Xingxing and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Carry him and walk forward.
Shen Que followed closely into the elevator, his overly rosy cheeks reflected in the stainless steel, and silently turned his face to the other side.
"Mommy lets you hug her, but you can only hug people you like," Xingxing answered earnestly.
Um?
She seems to have taught Xingxing this phrase before.
"Then who have you hugged?" Huo Junyan naturally steered the conversation toward Xingxing.
Xingxing blushed a little, "Tangtang and Su Yitong."
Shen Que opened her eyes wide and turned around in disbelief. She thought she would hear something like "hug Mommy" or "hug Auntie," but instead, she was given two names.
two.
They are still two different names.
"Who are they? Your classmates from kindergarten? Were they all in the middle class? In the same class?"
How did I suddenly find myself in the role of a future mother-in-law?
Xingxing yawned and turned her head to rest on his shoulder.
This is the tactic they always use to avoid problems.
Shen Que and Huo Junyan exchanged a glance, then inexplicably looked away from each other.
Suddenly remembering something, I took my phone out of my bag and searched through it carefully.
Huo Junyan leaned closer and saw that it was a kindergarten parents' group chat. Each profile picture was labeled with the name of a parent or mother.
Sensing the man's presence, Chen Que held her breath and remained motionless. He had a chilling aura like melting snow, and breathing in it was refreshing. Her neck, near his, felt tingly and hot.
Before it was front and back, now it's inside and outside.
Shen Que resisted the urge to touch his neck.
Luckily, the elevator arrived.
She rushed out of the elevator as if fleeing, fumbling for her keys, breathing heavily in silence. She lost her grip and dropped the keys, quickly picking them up to open the door. She then hurried ahead of him, opened the door to the Starry Night room, and turned on the lights.
He gestured for him to put the child on the bed.
It was already eleven o'clock. Xingxing woke up briefly, but fell asleep again while going up the elevator, still clutching her toy car tightly in her arms.
Huo Junyan carefully put the child down, awkwardly pulled his arm away, and saw Xingxing turn over, so frightened that he dared not move.
After waiting a while and seeing that Xingxing was still fast asleep, he withdrew the last bit of his hand, straightened up, and silently breathed a sigh of relief, only to see her looking at him with a mocking expression.
"Help him take off his clothes and shoes, I'll get his pajamas."
Shen Que went to the balcony to take down the newly bought and washed dinosaur pajamas, returned to his son's room, and saw that it had taken so long for him to take off his shoes. As soon as Xingxing kicked off, he immediately froze.
That's really stupid.
"I'll do it."
Huo Junyan immediately stepped aside, blinking a few times with one eye furrowed. Shen Que couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, then lowered his head to suppress a laugh.
She quickly took off her pants, picked up the baby, took off her shirt, and casually put the baby on the bed. She quickly put on her pajamas, covered the baby with a blanket, and the baby's kicking and stomping were completely ignored by her.
When he looked up, he stared blankly, one eye slightly red.
"Kids are all like that."
Turn off the lights and close the door.
Huo Junyan licked his lips, his Adam's apple bobbing occasionally, as if he wanted to go to the living room, but Chen Que blocked him with his body, saying, "Good night."
Her voice was soft and sweet, as if she were making an invitation.
Only the wall lamp by the door of the children's room was on inside. The light was so dim that the skin texture was almost invisible, and only breathing and swallowing sounds could be heard.
She dodged his lips the instant they were about to touch, her eyes playful. "I'm a married woman. Don't tempt me."
