Chapter 240 You're putting on quite a good act, are you really suffering from amnesia?
"you……"
Ye Si hesitated for a moment, probably unsure where to begin.
Suddenly, Fang Han returned and loudly exclaimed, "At 18, you were a scoundrel, hated by everyone, bullying men and women, always surrounded by a hundred or so followers, extremely arrogant, and looking down on everyone. You've done all the things a spoiled brat should do."
Fang Ke: "...?"
Fang Ke and Yes looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fang Han coming up from a wine cellar, carrying a bottle of wine and three wine glasses, looking at the two of them with a smile.
"Want to know what you were like at 18? Come ask me. I know better than this live-in son-in-law."
Fang Ke: "...marrying into the family."
Yes: "..."
Fang Han seemed to be in a good mood and hadn't felt this urge to confide in someone for a long time. She gestured to the two of them, "Want some drinks?"
Fang Ke nodded, and Fang Han walked over and joined their discussion. She sat opposite the two of them and placed the wine bottle in the center of the table.
Fang Han didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Brother-in-law, thank you for your trouble."
Fang Ke: "..."
Yes seemed quite pleased with being called "brother-in-law." He acted as if it were his first visit, opening the wine with a corkscrew, then decanting it before pouring it for all three of them.
The scarlet wine juice was thick and clung to the sides of the glass, with an intoxicating aroma.
Yes performed these movements slowly and deliberately, but with skillful technique, making them quite entertaining to watch.
Fang Han nodded in approval. "Yes, I only personally approve of you."
Fang Ke chuckled, never expecting Ye Si to be so attentive.
She squinted at Yes with displeasure, while Yes looked puzzled and innocently gestured to her, "What's wrong?"
Fang Ke said through gritted teeth in a low voice, "Sit properly."
Ye Si smiled faintly, sat down next to her, and whispered in her ear, "Then you can talk to your older sister first, and then come and hear my statement later?"
That's all we can do for now. Yes then asked, "Should I excuse myself?"
Fang Ke was dissatisfied. "You just sit here and don't go anywhere. Don't even think about running away until I figure things out."
Yes's eyes were filled with a deep smile; he felt that Fang Ke really didn't understand him at all.
"Okay, I won't go anywhere."
Fang Han couldn't stand watching them whispering to each other.
"Ahem, what are you doing? You two better behave yourselves in front of me."
Fang Ke reflexively shoved Yes away with his elbow, signaling him to stay away from him.
"Hmm."
Yes clutched his chest, which had been struck hard, and collapsed to the side.
Fang Ke: ...
Fang Han laughed heartily, "You two, that's enough, stop showing off, I believe you're a real couple now."
Fang Ke felt that this joke would never end, so she quickly became serious and said, "Sister... then tell me about my story first."
After Fang Han finished laughing, she picked up her wine glass and drank it herself, saying to Fang Ke, "You have so many shocking stories from the past that I don't even know where to begin. Why don't you tell me where you've been these past few years?"
"?"
Fang Ke's scalp began to tingle again. "What does that mean?"
Fang Han said, "Stop pretending. Yi Ling and I have long seen that the 'Fang Ke' in Jingzhou a few years ago was not you."
Fang Ke: "???"
Seeing Fang Ke's astonished expression, Fang Han laughed and said, "You're quite the actor, or... do you really have amnesia?"
"I……"
She really doesn't have this memory...
Fang Ke had never doubted her origins so much. Wasn't she from the real world? This was just a fictional world in a novel. Why did one or two people say that she was the original Fang Ke?
"Okay, let me start from my perspective."
Fang Han slowly explained, "I'm six years older than you, so I still remember many things from when you were born."
“Your mother suffered a lot when she gave birth to you. At that time, we were in our hometown, and the medical conditions were not as good as in the city. When she went into the delivery room, my father, the housekeeper Zhao, and I waited outside for more than 30 hours, but she still hadn’t been born.”
"Later, experts from all over the county came. Dad was so worried he was about to have a seizure. Housekeeper Zhao even started praying... I overheard a nurse sighing softly and saying that Mom seemed to be carrying a stillborn child, which was very unlucky."
“I was too young to do anything then, so I could only pray like Butler Zhao. At that time, I saw a shooting star streak across the sky outside the window, and I immediately made a wish upon the shooting star, hoping that God could save my mother and my younger brother and sister.”
"Strangely enough, after I made my wish, I saw that the trailing meteor seem to have changed course and was heading straight for the hospital..."
"Forehead……"
Fang Ke couldn't help but interrupt her, "Sister...can we talk about more real-life stories instead of myths?"
Fang Han was annoyed that her recollection had been interrupted. She glared at her and said, "I'm talking about reality, things that actually happened in my memory. Do you still want to hear it? Don't interrupt me."
Fang Ke could only remain silent, "Please continue..."
Fang Han paused for a moment and then continued, "Anyway, it was so mysterious. After I made a wish upon a shooting star, my mother gave birth to a healthy and lively baby girl, and that's you."
"Um……"
Stories with such dramatic beginnings usually serve to highlight how extraordinary the protagonist is later, hence the unusual phenomena at birth.
Fang Ke listened awkwardly, and sure enough, she heard Fang Han say, "To be honest, when I was little, I always suspected that you were a star reincarnated from the sky, because you were completely different from other people... For example, I never saw you babble, but when you were three years old, you could have a friendly conversation with foreign friends who came to our house in a babyish voice."
"..."
"For example, you are very brave. We used to keep a big wolfhound at our old house. One day you got lost in the yard where the dog was kept. Your mother was terrified, afraid that you would be bitten by the dog. When we found you, you were fighting with three mongrels from next door, along with our big wolfhound."
"You rode on the back of that big wolfhound, commanding it to charge into battle. I've never seen a wolfhound so obedient. Later, when we were taking you away, all these dogs lay prostrate on the ground to see you off..."
"Fine."
Fang Ke didn't know what to say. Bringing a dog into a group fight seemed like something she was really capable of doing...
"When you got a little older, you loved going to work with your dad. Your dad loved you too, and he would tell you about business knowledge, whether you understood it or not. But he didn't expect that you would remember everything he said. You pointed out the fraud in the financial reports submitted by several branch companies. You were not even five years old at the time, and the whole family thought you were a business prodigy."
Fang Ke was already laughing. It sounded like the Fang Ke of the past was really awesome. How could she have ended up like that?
“You went to school when you were six years old. After one semester, the principal came back and told you personally that the school could no longer teach you anything and hoped that your parents would take you back. You stared at the old principal and sneered, which scared him away.”
"Later, your father investigated and found out that you were almost bullied by some older students at school because you were too smart, including the principal's grandson."
"But I don't know what happened, but these people who wanted to cause you trouble either got sick, were possessed by evil spirits, transferred schools overnight, or went crazy and refused to go back to school no matter what. The school thought you were very strange and weird, so they respectfully sent you back."
Fang Ke: "...Am I that awesome?"
Fang Han took a big gulp and looked at her with a half-smile, "This is nothing."
“After you came back from school, you didn’t want to go to school anymore. Your parents hired several tutors for you, but none of them lasted more than a month. When asked, they all humbly said that you were a genius and that they couldn’t teach you at all.”
“You’re always tinkering with something in the house every day. Then one time our family’s cash flow ran into trouble and Dad couldn’t sleep all night. You suddenly came to me and said you had a solution. You told me to comfort Dad and that we should continue to hold Mom’s birthday party.”
"Sure enough, less than a week later, the Fang family's cash flow problem was resolved, and they even received double the investment. It wasn't until about ten years later that I found out that the person behind the funds that helped the Fang family out of their predicament was you."
"..."
Fang Han's gaze hardened as she said this, "Do you know how devastated I was when I found out when that company was founded? It was in the early 2000s, when you were only five years old."
"..."
Fang Ke felt that she had lived a very successful and wonderful life, but compared to the "Fang Ke" that Fang Han described as comparable to the Purple Star, she was still worlds apart.
Hearing this, she suddenly felt relieved for a while, "Great, this person definitely isn't me."
If she's so amazing, what's she doing here? Why doesn't she go and conquer the universe?
