When I was about to reach out and knock on the car window, a bodyguard quickly stopped me.
"Hey, ma'am! This is a private vehicle."
"I know."
I pointed inside the car and said, "I know him."
The co-pilot lowered the window, and another bodyguard said, "Sorry, our boss doesn't know you."
I asked back, “…don’t you know him?”
"Yes, I'm afraid you've made a mistake!"
As soon as the words fell, the driver stepped on the accelerator as instructed, and the black Continental slowly drove away.
Other vehicles soon followed.
I stood there, stunned for a while.
Zhou Fang refuses to recognize me...
Or is it that he is not Zhou Fang?
I suppressed my doubts, turned around and went back to my grandmother's ward to ask the nurse.
"Mr. Zhou, is this his first time here?"
"Probably not, but not when I'm on duty."
The nurse replied, "I noticed that when he came here, he was quite familiar with the ward facilities and other things."
I asked, "What does grandma call him?"
"The old lady just held his hand and didn't let go. Later, his men stopped me outside. But before I left, I heard someone shouting, 'Let go,' like...what?" the nurse recalled.
It's him.
He is still alive!
He is not dead!
And, it’s in Jingcheng.
I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief I hadn't felt in a long time. My tone was a little excited. "Tsu, I understand! Thank you!"
"Ms. Ruan, you two are friends, right?"
I chuckled and nodded, "Yes, he is a very important friend to me."
The psychiatrist told me that depression to that extent can only be accumulated over time.
But Zhou Fang's death was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
During those two years in F Country, I often wondered what would have happened if Zhou Fang had not shown up during the period when Fu Qichuan and I were falling apart, and had not broken the camel's back for me time and time again.
Then I will not be able to hold on at all.
The answer is most likely yes.
I waited until my grandma woke up and talked to her for a while.
She recognized me.
It's just that my memory is confused.
Always says he will give me pocket money.
She got angry when I rejected her, and after coming to the nursing home, I had an extra seven figures in my bank account.
I squatted beside my grandma and laughed, "Grandma, why are you giving me so much money? I don't know whether I am here to visit you or you are taking care of me..."
"Silly girl, what are you saying?"
Grandma's hair had grown a lot longer. She reached out and stroked my head lovingly, smiling, "How much is that? When you grow up, the entire Shen family will be handed over to you."
I was a little surprised and lay on my grandmother's lap. "But I hope you can be healthy."
I really want to have a family who will love and care for me.
…
I didn't get up and leave until grandma rested again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got out of the house, I ran into my grandmother, who also came to the hospital to visit her.
I know that this man is my father.
But we can't get close to each other.
When he saw me, he also frowned and said, "You have been serving as Mrs. Fu for the past two years. Why did you suddenly come to Jingcheng?"
I look like I'm here to fight for the family property.
But, I am.
The Shen family belongs to me, and not a single cent of it can fall into Shen Xingyu's hands.
I stared at him and asked instead of answering, "Can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
"Mrs. Shen is not my biological mother, then who is my real biological mother?"
I asked this question, which caught me off guard.
Shen Yu's expression flickered for a moment, and he said righteously, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to stir up chaos at home again?"
I pretended to hear her and continued to talk to myself, "It's not just her who dislikes me. You actually hate my mother too, right? But I know you're my biological mother. Why would a parent hate their own child? Could it be that my biological mother and you have some grudge against each other..."
“That’s enough!”
Shen 㫅 scolded in a low voice, his face flushed, "You've been back in Jiangcheng for two years, how come you've become as lawless and aggressive as you were when you were a kid?!"
"oh."
I got the answer I wanted, "It seems that my biological mother is indeed someone else."
This is what the psychiatrist in Country F told me.
The more people talk back and forth and get angry when you say something, the more there is a problem.
I was only guessing at first, but now I am 100% sure.
Shen Yu was actually quite elegant in the past, but when he looked at me, there was a hint of disgust in his eyes, "Get out!"
"Hey."
I smiled slightly, and before he could explode, I turned around neatly.
"etc!"
He suddenly called me and asked, "Did you just talk to grandma?"
I turned around and said, "Yeah."
"Has grandma ever told you about her will?"
"Will? Did grandma make a will?"
I asked back in a puzzled manner.
He breathed a sigh of relief and then continued, "How will the family property be distributed..."
"Aren't you too impatient?"
I frowned and feigned anger. "Grandma, your mind is still unclear, how could you possibly bring up something like the division of our family property? I advise you not to force Grandma to answer for now, lest she get angry and develop health problems again!"
I paused for a moment, then casually reminded him, "After all, no one knows what's in the will. Only when grandma is alive will we have a chance to fight for ourselves."
…
After returning to Jiangcheng, Jiang Lai ordered takeout and waited for me to have a midnight snack together.
We sat on the terrace. She listened to me finish my afternoon tea, took a sip of wine, and thought for a moment. "But if it was Zhou Fang, how could he say he didn't know you?"
"I don't know yet."
I opened a can of beer with one hand, tilted my head back and took a sip. The cool, bitter liquid rolled down my mouth and into my stomach, dispelling the summer night's heat.
Jiang Lai was peeling crayfish when he suddenly frowned. "Could he have lost his memory?"
"Won't."
I shook my head. "He came to see grandma, and it wasn't the first time."
She said, "That kind of selective amnesia, like, remembering everything but you?"
"...Sister, are you filming an idol drama?"
I tossed the peeled crayfish into her bowl. "I feel like he's a little different than he was two years ago."
Jiang Lai said, "Nonsense, he's in a wheelchair now, how can he still be the same as before?"
When it comes to this, I am a little silent.
But before leaving the nursing home, I confirmed it with the caregiver.
He was in a wheelchair from the time he entered the ward to the time he left...
Perhaps because he saw that I looked unhappy, Jiang Lai changed the subject and advised, "However, it's not easy to save a life after such a serious explosion."
"you're right."
I was too greedy.
Jiang Lai asked, "But what if he doesn't recognize you?"
"If he doesn't recognize me, I'll go find him."
Two years ago, when I hadn't recovered my memory and didn't know him, wasn't he the one who didn't give up on me?
We have to figure out what's going on with him now.
I smiled and said, "Aren't you playing with those noble ladies in Jingcheng now? Can you ask them to help me find out?"
"OK."
Jiang Lai agreed immediately, "Then what should we do after we find him?"
