Li Susu walked quickly out of the Li Group building, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the surging emotions in her heart.
The sunlight was a bit too bright, making her feel like her head was about to split open.
She raised her hand to rub her temples and quickened her pace toward the roadside.
Back in her hotel room, Li Susu irritably threw her handbag on the sofa.
I walked to the window and looked at the bustling streets outside, my thoughts racing.
"Arno, what's wrong?" Chen Ke's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Li Susu's thoughts.
Li Susu turned around and saw Chen Ke standing at the door, looking at her with concern.
"It's nothing." Li Susu forced a smile, not wanting Chen Ke to worry.
"Are you really alright?" Chen Ke clearly didn't believe it. He walked over to Li Susu and carefully examined her complexion. "You don't look too good."
After hesitating for a moment, Li Susu decided to tell Chen Ke what had happened that day.
"Today, Li Yulin contacted me and said that I am his sister Li Susu, who has been missing for three years."
Chen Ke was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "How is that possible? Su Su, don't listen to his nonsense."
Li Susu gave a bitter smile: "I also hope he's talking nonsense, but..."
She told Chen Ke about the photos Li Yulin had shown her, as well as the mentions of "falling into the sea and disappearing" and "Bai Weiwei".
After listening, Chen Ke frowned deeply: "Su Su, do you really not remember these things?"
Li Susu shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion. "I have absolutely no recollection of it."
Suddenly remembering something, she asked Chen Ke:
"So, in these three years, no one from the Li family has come looking for you?"
If I really am Li Susu, how could such a large family as the Li family not have been able to find me for three years?
Chen Ke patted Li Susu's shoulder reassuringly, "Arno, don't think too much about it."
"Perhaps the Li family has made a mistake. Because you and their sister are about the same age and have similar temperaments, they have misunderstood."
"As you know, many people like to imitate the style of socialites these days. Maybe you just happen to look like her."
Chen Ke's words calmed Li Susu down a little.
Perhaps she was overthinking it.
“Once this project is finished, I’ll take you back to Country Z for proper treatment,” Chen Ke suddenly suggested, his gaze deep, as if he were hiding some secret.
"Sooner or later you will remember your past memories, and then you will find your true family."
Li Susu nodded, agreeing with Chen Ke's words.
All she wants now is to end it all as soon as possible and return to the familiar country of Z.
Perhaps only there can she find her true self.
Chen Ke looked at Li Susu with worry and heartache in his eyes. He silently left the room and gently closed the door, afraid of disturbing Li Susu.
The room fell silent again, with only Li Susu sitting quietly, her eyes filled with confusion.
After stepping outside, Chen Ke's face immediately darkened.
He ordered his men to find Li Susu's old records.
The documents laid out in front of him were like heavy stones, making it hard for him to breathe.
With trembling hands, he opened the documents and saw that very familiar face. Chen Ke's heart sank.
The woman in the photo is beautiful and has a striking resemblance to Li Susu in her eyes and brows.
Chen Ke is now certain that Chen Nuo is Li Susu, but the change in appearance is what makes the Li family afraid to recognize her.
He was filled with mixed feelings, hoping that Li Susu could reunite with her family, but also worried that she would be hurt again.
Especially when Chen Ke thought about the way Fu Xingzhou looked at Li Susu, his eyes were full of possessiveness and deep affection, it made him feel uneasy again.
Now is not a good time for them to recognize each other; he must take Li Susu away from China as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Li Susu might be hurt again.
