"Liu Cuicui? I don't know her." Gu Nanqiao's impatient voice came from the other end of the phone.
The soldier making the phone call frowned as he looked at Liu Cuicui, who was standing at the entrance of the military base, his expression suddenly becoming more scrutinizing.
Gu Nanqiao's voice was quite loud, and Liu Cuicui also heard the "don't know" comment. Feeling a little embarrassed, she knew that now was not the time to be coy, so she quickly spoke up.
"I have something important to tell you!"
"About Gu Nanzhi!"
After saying that, Liu Cuicui hung up the phone without giving Gu Nanqiao a chance to question her.
Gu Nanqiao might ignore other things, but she's a sister-obsessed sister, and when it comes to Gu Nanzhi, she can't remain indifferent.
"Wait, I'll be right out."
Five minutes later, Gu Nanqiao appeared at the entrance of the military base.
The two walked to a distance.
Gu Nanqiao asked first, "Speak, what exactly do you want to say to me?"
"Lu Huai'an got married."
Gu Nanqiao rolled her eyes: "Trying to play me with something so trivial? Do you know what happens when I make fun of myself?"
Liu Cuicui narrowed her eyes, concealing the hatred in them: "This time it's the kind of wedding."
In her past life, this little girl fought many battles for that bitch Gu Nanzhi, and she suffered a lot.
The Gu family is not simple. Given Huo Gege's current status, she cannot take revenge. So let Su Wantang and Gu Nanzhi fight each other.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Gu Nanqiao crossed her arms and looked at Liu Cuicui as if she were a complete idiot.
"If you're blind, go see an ophthalmologist! It's all over the army, everyone knows that Brother Huai'an and that capitalist's daughter are just a couple in name only? A wedding? Wait till my sister—"
Gu Nanqiao realized something was wrong and quickly corrected herself, "After a while, the two of them might get divorced!"
This wasn't just something she made up. Under her secret manipulation, countless female soldiers flirted with the Huai'an brother. If something were really going on, wouldn't that capitalist's daughter be eager to assert her dominance?
He really couldn't sit still any longer, but he was scolded harshly by his brother from Huai'an and fainted at the entrance of the military base.
It's said that her face was as white as a ghost...
"I won't lie to you, I'm Su Wantang's cousin. She told me about this herself, and the invitations were sent out in the last couple of days," Liu Cuicui dropped a bombshell.
Invitations can't be faked.
Gu Nanqiao swallowed the words of rebuttal that were about to come out of her mouth, and her suspicious gaze fell on Liu Cuicui.
"Why are you telling me all this? Aren't you cousins? You're just crocodile tears, pretending to be kind. Who knows what kind of trouble you're hiding behind your black heart?"
"I like Lu Huai'an! I can't stand her! If I really had to choose someone to marry Lu Huai'an, I hope it would be Gu Nanzhi! At least, I would be convinced!" Liu Cuicui said, half-jokingly.
These words really struck a chord with Gu Nanqiao.
She also liked Brother Huai'an, but she was not as smart and talented as her sister. Her sister and Brother Huai'an were the most well-matched couple.
Seeing that Gu Nanqiao was somewhat moved, Liu Cuicui added fuel to the fire: "I've finished speaking, believe it or not."
After saying that, Liu Cuicui left without looking back.
Seeing this, Gu Nanqiao became even more convinced of the truthfulness of her words, hurriedly returned to the army, asked for leave, and rushed home.
It's inconvenient to use military telephones as they are often monitored by communications soldiers.
"Hey, sis, it's me, Qiaoqiao."
Gu Nanzhi's tone was displeased: "Qiaoqiao, why are you calling at this time? I'm about to go to the operating table with Elder Zhang. Do you know how important this surgery is to me?"
By the end, Gu Nanzhi almost roared.
Gu Nanqiao trembled slightly, feeling involuntarily aggrieved: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
Gu Nanzhi lost control for only a moment; she quickly calmed down and asked, "What do you want?"
"Sister, it seems that Brother Huai'an has fallen for that capitalist's daughter... and they're actually going to have a wedding!"
"What?" Gu Nanzhi screamed, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the phone receiver. "You confirmed it?"
"Yes, Grandpa Lu confirmed it himself, the date is set for the 8th of next month."
"I see."
Gu Nanzhi hung up the phone, a mysterious glint in her eyes.
She should go back…

That evening, Su Wantang spoke to Lu Huai'an about this matter, her voice filled with distress: "Huai'an, what exactly happened back then? My father is definitely not an irresponsible man!"
Lu Huai'an wholeheartedly agreed with this: "Did Dad suffer a brain injury before?"
"Are you saying my dad has amnesia?"
Su Wantang subconsciously denied it: "That doesn't mean we can just forget Aunt Gu. We haven't forgotten my grandfather or the Su family! Last time, I even asked Dad, and he said he still remembered that Grandpa didn't have any brothers or sisters!"
Lu Huai'an suddenly said, "Wantang, I've never met Grandpa, but he told me that he's a very skilled doctor. Do you think it's possible..."
"How is that possible? What..." Su Wantang stammered halfway through her sentence, realizing that it really was possible.
In her hazy memory, her grandfather, dressed in a traditional Chinese suit, repeatedly gave her these instructions.
[Little Tangtang, hold onto this jade pendant carefully, it's a treasure from our ancestors...]
Will Grandpa know about the existence of this space?
“It’s possible.” Su Wantang explained to Lu Huai’an, “Grandpa passed away early. The most I learned from him was acupuncture. Later, I studied the medical books he took notes on. Maybe there really are methods I don’t know that can make someone lose a part of their memory.”
Upon reflection, Su Wantang genuinely felt that such a possibility existed.
“Aunt Gu and Dad have known each other for a long time, but if you think about it carefully, the time they spent together was the ten years before they left Beijing. If our guess is correct, then my dad wasn’t lying. It’s just that his memories started after he left Beijing!”
Su Wantang became more and more excited as she spoke, lifting the blanket as if she had the impulsive urge to put on her shoes, go find Su Zhichen, and knock on his forehead to see if this was really the case.
Suddenly, the man stretched out his long arm and pulled Su Wantang into his arms, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.
"Tangtang, calm down. It's late at night. Whether Dad is asleep or not is another matter. Even if he went, what could you possibly see?"
Su Wantang couldn't say that the space was a cheating artifact, because if Su Zhichen had any problems, the space would trigger a notification.
She could only vaguely reply, "What if they figure something out?"
"No need to rush tonight, let's go to sleep first," Lu Huai'an said.
Su Wantang said irritably, "Do you think I don't want to? I'm like an ant on a hot pan right now, anxiously running around in circles."
That's absolutely amazing!
At this moment, Su Wantang's interest in medicine was fully aroused, and it was not so easy to stop.
Her eyes were filled with interest, a kind of almost pathological burning interest that Lu Huai'an had seen in the researchers at the military weapons institute.
"Then... let's try to shift our focus."
Su Wantang, still unaware of what was happening, asked blankly, "How do I turn it?"
"Do something to make people happy!"
The damp, sticky feeling settled on the back of her neck, causing Su Wantang's shoulders to tremble.
