"Don't bring up what happened back then again! If you're calling just to talk about this, I'm hanging up!" Ou Zihan said with a dark and extremely impatient expression.
"Why did you arrest Li Mei? Release her right now! Her father has come to me. Our Ou family and the Li family are old friends. How am I supposed to explain this to her father? Li Mei once risked her life for you. How can you treat her like this?" Madam Ou was already giving orders, leaving no room for negotiation.
"You should be glad she didn't make a mistake this time, otherwise I wouldn't have kept her in the Ou Group." Ou Zihan's voice was cold, his dark eyes gleaming with a chilling light, and he hung up the phone.
His face remained somber and cold, with a hidden pain lurking deep within his dark eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Ou Zihan called Mo Nan and asked him to release Li Mei.
Ou Zihan quietly walked to the liquor cabinet, took the strongest bottle of vodka, poured himself a glass, tilted his head back, and downed the entire glass. With a thud of his Adam's apple, he slammed the glass down on the table with a loud 'bang,' as if he had a grudge against that glass. One hand gripped the glass tightly, almost as if he wanted to crush it, while the other hand was clenched into a fist…
Before she knew it, Luo Xiaoyi had arrived beside him. She looked at him, so fearless and invincible, with such a wounded expression, and moreover, he was currently powerless to attack…
Why did things turn out this way between Ou Zihan and his mother? He's clearly in pain, and it's clearly because he loves his mother that he's in pain, so why does he still reject her so much? What exactly happened back then?
Ou Zihan felt a warmth on his back as a soft body pressed against him. Luo Xiaoyi's two jade-like arms were already wrapped around his waist, and her face was pressed tightly against his back.
“Ou Zihan, I don’t know what happened between you and your mother back then, but I can see that you love your mother. What family holds grudges? Let’s forget about the past.” Luo Xiaoyi’s voice was soft and gentle, like a sweet spring flowing into his bitter heart.
This was the first time Luo Xiaoyi had hugged him on her own initiative, and he felt a sudden warmth in his heart.
Ou Zihan turned around, his long, slender hand gently stroking her beautiful face, his deep gaze fixed on her. This woman was his beloved, the one who had been cruelly separated from him by his mother. He had finally found her, but she didn't remember him. She was his lost treasure, and he vowed to protect her with his life.
"Xiaoyi, you're thinking too simply. No matter what happens in the future, you must believe in my feelings for you. If you believe in me, no one can separate us."
Ou Zihan's expression was unusually serious, as if they were about to face some terrible storm.
This made Luo Xiaoyi's mood somewhat heavy.
But, does Luo Xiaoyi really want to continue this relationship with this man? What if Bai Zhi comes back? Wouldn't their promise become a joke? A joke that will only hurt her. She doesn't want to end up so miserable. She's hopeful and moved by this vow, but even more afraid and terrified…
Sigh, she encountered the most perplexing thing in the world.
She grasped his somewhat cold hand, trying to convey a sliver of warmth and strength to him. She bit her lip and remained silent.
He held her small hand tightly, his deep black eyes glistening with tears. "Xiaoyi, I'm so sorry. I didn't protect you properly, which is why you've become like this. I will protect you and help you regain your memories."
Ou Zihan's expression was so serious and so sorrowful, as if she really was Bai Zhi who had lost her memory. At that moment, Luo Xiaoyi even wondered if Ou Zihan's persistence meant that she really had lost her memory.
But she's always been Luo Xiaoyi, right? Why can't she remember anything about Bai Zhi? Her mother is dead, there's no way to verify it, would her brother know? Sigh, her brother's gone mad, nobody knows where he is?

"Do you have a photo of Bai Zhi?" Luo Xiaoyi asked. She seemed to have to face this question and find out the truth. She also needed to figure out who she really was. She couldn't stay in this state of uncertainty forever.
"Yes." As she spoke, Ou Zihan took out a photo she always carried with her from her wallet. In the photo, a woman and a man were sitting together on a green lawn. The woman was holding a kite in her hand. The two of them were full of youthful energy and looked extremely romantic and happy. Their happiness made Ou Zihan instantly jealous.
She looked closely and realized that the woman in the photo was exactly like her, almost identical. "Could it be that I have a twin sister? How could we look so alike?"
Luo Xiaoyi found it unbelievable. She had been Luo Xiaoyi for so many years, how could she not be herself anymore?
"Take another look." Ou Zihan's magnetic voice rang in her ear. He was also staring intently at the photo, their heads very close together, almost touching.
"She's wearing a white dress, so beautiful. Hmm, there's a faint scar on the outside of her calf, how come it's the same as my scar? Is this just a coincidence?" Luo Xiaoyi gently stroked the scar in the photo with her delicate index finger. Looking at this discovery, she was bewildered and incredibly shocked! Who is she? She felt a sense of panic. She didn't even know who she was, how could she not be panicked?
“How could it be such a coincidence? Bai Zhi is you. You must have suffered some kind of shock and lost your memory.” Ou Zihan stubbornly drew his conclusion, even though he hadn’t found any conclusive evidence. He just felt that his intuition was right.
"Impossible, no way. To say I'm a different person based on just one photo is far too far-fetched, isn't it?" Luo Xiaoyi felt extremely panicked. Suddenly being portrayed as a clueless fool was unacceptable to anyone. Besides, what kind of evidence was this? There are many people in the world who look alike, and many people with scars. This proves nothing. She shook her head firmly.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I've been investigating this matter and should find evidence." Ou Zihan was also puzzled. This photo was something that could evoke memories. They used to be inseparable and made vows of eternal love. Why didn't she feel any of these important memories?
Was her amnesia too severe, or did he simply mistake her for someone else?
However, based on his intuition, he felt that he was right.
Luo Xiaoyi stared at his handsome face for several seconds, biting her lip and racking her brains, but she couldn't remember anything. Ou Zihan in front of her didn't give her any sense of familiarity.
