"I...I'm sorry to you and your mother."
Almost instantly, Song Qirui burst into tears.
He spoke, his voice choked with emotion, not as an explanation, but as an apology. Instead, an assistant-like figure stepped forward. He first calmed Song Qirui down, and then, once both had calmed down and sat down, he spoke on Song Qirui's behalf, explaining the entire sequence of events.
Actually, things are complicated, but the routine is just the same old routine.
It's simply that Song Qirui had an accident and forgot everything from the past! And recently, it was only by chance that he remembered everything from the past!
I remembered the lover with whom I once made vows of eternal love and prayed to spend my life together!
The current Song Qirui is no longer the unknown nobody who had just entered the Song family and was not yet firmly established! As the head of the Song family, it can be said that no one in the Song family can stop him from doing whatever he wants.
So without any hesitation, he immediately began to arrange manpower to investigate everything that happened back then.
More importantly, he also began to search with all his might for the whereabouts of his lover whom he had lost contact with!
Such a commotion naturally and unsurprisingly alarmed the entire Song family.
Although Song Qirui's return to the Song family was a bloody affair, things have been peaceful for many years now! At least on the surface, the Song family is still harmonious.
However, this harmony is predicated on the fact that past events will not be brought up again.
Once those past events are brought up again, the old grievances will inevitably be exposed!
Song Qirui's actions over the years have hardly made him a gentle family head! If this matter continues to develop unchecked, with the old and new grudges accumulating, it's hard to guarantee that he won't take advantage of the situation and turn the entire Song family upside down.
So when someone realized something was wrong, they naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die in order to protect themselves. So they quickly made a decision to strike first!
As long as Yao Anna and her mother are dealt with before the whole truth is fully exposed, thus cutting off all the evidence and erasing everything that happened back then, no matter how angry Song Qirui is, he will ultimately have no way to prove anything. What can he do then?!
But to everyone's surprise, the several attempts to target Yao Anna and her mother were all thwarted!
Not only was her mother's puppet curse broken, but the fortune-changing array was also completely destroyed!
Even when they tried to take remedial action against Yao Anna, their hasty and poorly planned approach led to another failure!
This series of events naturally alerted Song Qirui, who was already investigating the matter. Following the clues, he discovered the whole truth and eventually came to Xijing to meet Yao Anna.
"So the reason you haven't come to find Anna is because you lost your memories of Anna and her mother after you were taken back to the Song family?!" Song Mengmeng, who had been listening closely, was somewhat surprised to ask a question that was also troubling Yao Anna at the moment, after the assistant had explained everything.
Yao Anna wanted to say something more, but because of Song Mengmeng's question, she quickly swallowed the question that was on the tip of her tongue. At the same time, her guard, which had been lowered a bit, became fully alert again.
This reaction was purely reflexive. She knew very well that Mengmeng wouldn't lie to her! And most importantly, she knew Mengmeng's habits perfectly well; she had come to meet this man who claimed to be her father only to be with her!
Therefore, according to her habits, she would never ask a question here without a reason.
Since she's taking the initiative to speak now, there's only one possibility—there might be something fishy going on!
"Yes," the assistant answered crisply and quickly, without the slightest hesitation. It was as if these words had been swirling in his mind a thousand times; his delivery was remarkably fluent.
"The situation after Mr. returned to the Song family was not good. Those people did not behave themselves because of his return. Under their deliberate targeting, Mr. had an accident! During the subsequent treatment, someone tampered with his medical records and erased his memories."
The gentleman was deeply saddened and distressed upon learning of this. After recovering from a serious illness, he devoted himself entirely to searching for his wife and daughter.
It must be said that this assistant is a very eloquent person.
His words were subtle and understated. First, he explained everything to prove Song Qirui's innocence, and now he started to play the victim card from another angle.
Look, she's even gotten sick because she's so sad!
How cruel and unreasonable it would be to not forgive him!
"So, Mr. Song didn't just find out about this now?!" Yao Anna astutely grasped the key point in her assistant's words. She turned to look at Song Qirui: "Could you tell me when you first learned of my existence?"
That's quite a tricky question.
What surprised and troubled the assistant even more was Yao Anna's attitude!
Based on the information they had gathered before they arrived, the young girl in front of them had actually had a very difficult life from childhood to adulthood.
Logically speaking, after suffering so much and still struggling in the entertainment industry, the young girl should have been excited and thrilled to hear that she was not a pitiful girl, but the daughter of the head of the Song family, the richest family in Hong Kong. Instead, she appeared strangely calm, as if everything was irrelevant to her.
But Yao Anna's attitude was surprisingly calm.
"I know you and your mother have suffered all these years, I..."
Song Qirui looked at Yao Anna, not directly answering her question, but trying to subtly build rapport. However, he was immediately interrupted by Yao Anna: "Mr. Song, you've already said that once!"
Right now, I only want to know the answer to the question I just asked. I'm not interested in your thought process at the moment!
In fact, as things have progressed to this point, Yao Anna is almost losing her patience.
If at first she had some expectations for this so-called father who had taken the initiative to come to her door, now when she sees this man again, she only feels a deep disgust!
That's right, it's disgust!
Although Song Qirui in front of her seemed very affectionate, for some reason, Yao Anna felt that his smile didn't show any deep paternal love, but only disgust!
