Chapter 90: She seemed to have been hypnotized, and had a period of memory loss.
Xie Tingyan frowned deeply.
“I just asked Niannian if she remembered anything before she was four years old. I don’t know what she remembered, but then she looked like this in pain.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Siyan's expression turned serious.
He majored in neurosurgery and dabbled in psychology during his university years.
Based on his professional judgment, Su Niannian's reaction indicated that her brain had been stimulated in some way before.
He took out the fountain pen he always carried from his pocket and gently waved it from side to side in front of Su Niannian's eyes, slowly and deliberately.
"Niannian, relax, don't be afraid, don't think, and don't be anxious. Just follow my voice and slowly walk out..."
His tone was reassuring and patient.
This helped Su Niannian gradually calm down.
The pain of being pounded with a sledgehammer gradually subsided.
Xie Siyan and Xie Tingyan saw that Su Niannian's body relaxed and her face regained its color.
That breath stuck in my throat.
He managed to vomit it out.
Su Niannian slowly opened her eyes. She composed herself, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Then she met the concerned gazes of the two people in front of her.
"Dr. Xie, what are you doing here?"
Xie Siyan responded with a smile.
“You just happened to be passing by and heard that your older brother was also at the villa, so you came over to wait for him to go home together.”
Su Niannian, unsuspecting, simply said "Oh."
Xie Tingyan's face was a mixture of self-reproach and worry. He reached out to hold Su Niannian's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then stopped in mid-air.
"Niannian, are you feeling any better? I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out, okay?"
Xie Tingyan had never felt so helpless in his life.
He was unruly since childhood, and his only weakness was his younger sister, Yao Yao, to whom he reserved all his good temper.
He was punished by his father for doing something wrong, forced to kneel in the ancestral hall, and then beaten with a cane.
A living Yama who doesn't even blink an eye.
He doted on his younger sister, lifting her up with his still-growing arms and acting as her airplane, taking her flying around the yard.
As a result, Xie Tingyan was often ridiculed by his arch-rivals.
"Big brother, I just had a slight headache, but it's fine now, so don't worry." Su Niannian took his hand.
She smiled sweetly, so as not to worry him.
Even if the paternity test results are not available.
Xie Tingyan had already decided in his heart that Su Niannian was Yao Yao.
She was the little sister they had always missed.
However, Gu Yuheng's words made sense. Before the results were in, everything was unknown and there were many uncertainties. Acting impulsively would only hurt Yaoyao.
They have waited sixteen years.
Two days was enough time for all of them.
It's really short, so short that it can be measured in minutes and seconds.
"Si Yan, you're a professional doctor, what do you think?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Xie Siyan's eyes. He paused for a moment and then asked, "Niannian, may I ask if your headache just now was caused by thinking about things from the past?"
Su Niannian pursed her lips.
"No, my older brother asked me if I remembered anything before I was four years old. I tried to think about it, but I found that I had no memory of anything before I was four years old."
"I try hard to remember, but it's like a thick veil has been drawn over my head, blocking my way to find them. Whenever I try to think hard, my head starts to ache instantly."
Xie Siyan's hands, which were resting on his knees, gradually clenched.
"Niannian, did you have any illnesses when you were little? Or did your family tell you about them?"
Su Niannian shook her head: "I rarely get sick, and my grandmother has never said that I have had any serious illnesses."
She paused for a moment: "Dr. Xie, why do you ask that? Is there something wrong with me?"
Xie Siyan smiled slightly: "No problem, it's just a professional habit of doctors that I always unconsciously ask about other people's past medical history."
Su Niannian nodded. Seeing that Dr. Xie looked relaxed, she figured she didn't seem to have any serious illness. She just liked to scare herself.
"Niannian, my brother and I have some things to take care of, so we'll have to take our leave now."
Su Niannian asked the maid to see the guests off.
I had just walked up to the fountain in the front yard.
A Rolls-Royce drove into the front yard like a hail of arrows.
The man who got out of the car looked at the two of them with a gloomy expression.
Gu Yuheng stood tall and elegant, wearing a black overcoat.
But there was no warmth in his deep, dark eyes.
"Xie Siyan, you promised me that I would let you have contact with Niannian, but what is Xie Tingyan doing? Just now, Niannian was provoked by his recklessness."
He looked at Xie Tingyan with icy eyes.
"It was my fault this time," Xie Tingyan said. "I'm sorry, it won't happen again."
Gu Yuheng glared at him: "You want a next time? Xie Tingyan, keep dreaming."
Xie Tingyan approached him and said, "Gu Yuheng, if Niannian is my sister, then you are my brother-in-law. How can you talk to your elders like that? Don't forget, you are supposed to call me 'Big Brother' just like Niannian does."
Gu Yuheng walked past him expressionlessly.
"If you want me to call you 'Big Brother,' wait until your next life."
"You just wait, kid. When the test results come out, I'll take Yao Yao away so you won't be able to find her. Even if you beg me to call you 'Big Brother,' I won't let you see her."
Xie Siyan's lips twitched.
Take a step forward.
“Yuheng, Niannian’s reaction just now was a bit abnormal. Based on my professional judgment, it seems that she has been hypnotized and has a missing part of her memory.”
Gu Yuheng's heart skipped a beat.
"are you sure?"
Xie Siyan pondered for a moment: "If Niannian is really Yaoyao, then the person who hypnotized her is the one who kidnapped her. Shen Qingbei was only ten years old at the time, so he couldn't possibly have the ability to sneak away from the elders, steal Yaoyao, and abandon her, leaving none of us able to find her."
"I think there must be someone behind him, someone hiding behind the scenes planning everything. Shen Qingbei is just a pawn in his game."
Gu Yuheng's brows were furrowed with seriousness.
"If what you say is true, then this person must also know Nian Nian's movements, and even the movements of all of us. Making a move that alerts the enemy will only put Nian Nian in deeper danger."
"He is hiding in the shadows, while we are in the open; the situation is not in our favor."
He thought for a moment and said, "To be absolutely sure, I will send more people to Niannian's side to protect her safety."
Xie Siyan remained noncommittal.
Seeing Gu Yuheng's actions, Xie Tingyan said nothing more.
He also has someone he deeply loves, so he naturally understands how a man shows his affection for a woman.
Gu Yuheng may not be a good opponent.
But he is definitely a good husband, able to provide for his wife and children and be their support.
Before leaving.
Xie Tingyan left Pudding at the villa so that it could protect Su Niannian.
Therefore, the villa's servants looked ashen-faced.
Gu Yuheng did not handle any work today. After dinner, he stayed in the bedroom with Su Niannian.
He didn't bring up the topic of hypnosis, but instead took a prenatal education book, hugged his little lover, and read it to her softly.
His voice was exceptionally gentle as he chose a lighthearted fairy tale and patiently told it to Su Niannian.
Soon, the little girl in his arms began to droop her eyelids, and before long, Su Niannian drifted off to sleep.
In the middle of the night, her eyes trembled violently.
She found herself standing in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by a white mist.
Behind the white mist, there seemed to be whispered conversations.
"Keep this to yourself. If anyone else finds out, I'll announce it to the world and ruin your reputation."
"Lin Yin, have you forgotten? You were the one who got drunk and wouldn't let go of me, you were the one who offered yourself to me willingly."
Then came a loud slap.
"You hypocrite, you knew perfectly well that I loved Xie Yuan, yet you raped me while I was drunk."
The sound of a woman sobbing.
Even if Su Niannian didn't see it, she knew how heartbroken she was.
She moved her hands and feet slightly, and subconsciously looked down.
Then his eyes widened.
She stared in disbelief at her shrunken body, wearing a princess dress—a beautiful outfit she had never worn as a child.
She seemed startled.
I accidentally bumped into the vase at my feet.
A loud thud broke the silence.
"Who's there? Come out!"
A deep, reprimanding voice came from within the white mist.
Then heavy footsteps slowly approached.
