Tina is a person who always sees things through.
She already felt somewhat guilty for not telling Jiang Ning the truth about Xu Zhizhou, and naturally she had to keep her promise to Jiang Ning.
Si Huashang.
Upon hearing the name, Xu Zhizhou paused for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know it."
Upon hearing this, Tina breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Si Huashang and Xu Zhizhou are not the same person.
But Tina was still a little uneasy. "Madam, are you sure you don't recognize him?"
“Yes.” Xu Zhizhou nodded. “I don’t know him.”
After finishing his sentence, Xu Zhizhou added, "However, I do find this name quite familiar."
It's like...
It sounds like I've heard it somewhere before.
"Why don't you think about it again?" Tina then suggested.
Xu Zhizhou shook his head, then said, "It's probably a character from some book, I just confused them."
Besides making desserts, Xu Zhizhou also enjoys reading books in his spare time.
From world-renowned classics to the like.
She enjoys reading everything, from romance novels to anything else.
Si Huashang's name sounds so beautiful, she must be the protagonist in the book.
"Oh, I see," Tina breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xu Zhizhou, and continued, "Madam, you don't look well. Would you like me to prescribe some medicine for you?"
"No need," Xu Zhizhou shook his head. "The pine needles have already bloomed."
"You've already been prescribed it?" Tina then asked, "What medicine did Songluo prescribe for you? Can I take a look?"
Logically speaking, someone with Songluo's medical skills should improve day by day once she prescribes medicine.
However, Xu Zhizhou's complexion has gradually worsened in recent days.
Xu Zhizhou looked at Tina, "Songluo always delivers the medicine herself when it's time, I don't have any here."
"Did Songluo say what symptoms you have now?" Tina asked again.
“It’s a precursor to schizophrenia,” Xu Zhizhou replied.
Many early signs of schizophrenia are severe depression.
Xu Zhizhou has a history of depression.
Upon hearing this, Tina didn't think much of it. She and Songluo were friends, and she trusted Songluo's character.
So Tina instructed, "Madam, you must take your medicine on time and get plenty of rest!"
"OK."
"Then I won't disturb your rest any longer."
After saying that, Tina turned and left Xu Zhizhou's room.
After Tina left, Xu Zhizhou lay down on the bed to rest.
Not long after lying down, Xu Zhizhou drifted off to sleep.
She had a dream.
It was a terrifying dream.
In my dream, everything was pitch black, so dark that I couldn't see my own hand in front of my face.
All that could be heard were the cries of babies all around.
"Waaaaah..."
Then came the man's painful cry, "Hua Chang!"
And there were the heart-wrenching cries of an old man, "Hua Chang, my son, where are you?!"
"Magnificent attire!"
"Magnificent attire!!!"
A variety of sounds intertwined.
Then the scene changes.
She saw herself inside a church.
The stranger placed his hand in another man's hand. "Our father died early, and Huashang is our only sister. She has been pampered since childhood. She traveled thousands of miles for love. Don't let her down."
Another man walked over.
"If you dare to bully my sister, my eldest brother, my six younger brothers, and I won't let you off easy!"
In his dream, Xu Zhizhou couldn't see their faces clearly.
She strained to open her eyes wide, but at that moment, the solemn church transformed into a terrifying behemoth with its gaping maw, swallowing everyone whole.
This moment!
Everyone's face was a bloody mess.
"ah!!!"
Xu Zhizhou woke up from a nightmare with a cold sweat on his face.
My heart is beating very fast.
thump!
thump--
“Si Huashang,” Xu Zhizhou raised his hand to press his temples, his face pale, “Who exactly is Si Huashang!”
Why, why can't she remember anything?
Xu Zhizhou slapped his head, feeling as if his brain was about to explode.
--
This way.
After Tina returned to the infirmary, she started calling Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning answered quickly.
Hello.
“Miss Jiang, I am Tina,” Tina introduced herself and got straight to the point. “I just asked our lady, and she said she doesn’t know Si Huashang.”
Since Xu Zhizhou didn't know Si Huashang, the task Jiang Ning had given her was now complete.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's voice again, Tina finally felt no longer guilty.
Otherwise, she always felt guilty for hiding Xu Zhizhou's true appearance from Jiang Ning.
I don't know him...
It would be a lie to say that Jiang Ning wasn't disappointed upon hearing this.
However, she was not discouraged.
"Okay, thank you, Miss Tina."
"You're too kind, Miss Jiang."
After hanging up with Tina, Jiang Ning made a video call to Shi Nanxing.
The fact that neither Madam Shi nor Madam Si knew the Zheng family only proves that the three families had no long-standing feud.
The absence of a blood feud does not mean the absence of personal grudges.
just in case.
Is it a love triangle or a feud?
Shi Nanxing just came out of the conference room.
"Sheng Bao."
"Dad, are you busy?" Jiang Ning asked.
“No rush,” Shi Nanxing continued, “Recently, we received news from the Nanshan Rescue Station that someone’s information matches your mother’s perfectly. I’m planning to go and take a look.”
Jiang Ning immediately asked, "Really? Do you have any photos?"
“There are photos, but the person was burned and their facial features are disfigured, so you can’t recognize them anymore. The forensic results have been done, but they haven’t come back yet.” Although the chances of that person being Si Huashang were slim, Shi Nanxing still decided to go and take a look.
just in case.
That's Si Huashang!
Since waking up, Shi Nanxing has never given up searching for Si Huashang.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "Then please remember to let me know as soon as you have any news."
"OK."
Jiang Ning continued, "By the way, Dad, I have a question for you."
"Shengbao, ask away."
"Do you know Zheng Xiangqian?" Jiang Ning asked.
Zheng Xiangqian?
Shi Nanxing thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know him."
I don't know him...
Jiang Ning frowned slightly.
He doesn't even know Shi Nanxing, so we need to rule out any romantic entanglements?
But both blood feuds and personal grudges have been ruled out.
What reason could the Zheng family possibly have to imprison Si Huashang for twenty years?
Or is it...?
