Chapter 295: She Lost Everything
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When she woke up that day, her memory was fractured.
All she remembered was that she had a high fever. Since she lived alone, she didn’t have many friends around her, and her life was a mess. She didn’t have much contact with the neighbors around her, so no one realized that she had fainted at home at first.
Until she woke up and realized that she was in the hospital and saw Pei Jingzhou.
Pei Jingzhou told her that he had met her by chance and remembered her. Hence, he sent someone to inquire about her residence and found that she had fainted in the house because of a fever.
At that time, she was very grateful to Pei Jingzhou. If not for Pei Jingzhou, she would probably have died in that room. No one would have known. When it stinks, someone will discover it by the smell and send it to be cremated. This short life will be over.
However, she did not expect that her savior would want to marry her in return for saving her.
The reason was: love at first sight.
She was frightened, at a loss, and in disbelief.
Later on, she vaguely learned from Assistant Chen that Pei Jingzhou had taken a fancy to her not because it was love at first sight) but because she looked like the first love in Pei Jingzhou’s heart.
Knowing this ‘truth’, she relented.
Back then, life was a mess. If someone coaxed her with candy and treated her well, she would be willing to go with them. It was better than living alone as a walking corpse.
Even if she was just a substitute.
Hence, she agreed to be Mrs. Pei and marry Pei Jingzhou.
On the first day after registering their marriage, Chen Xin brought her to the Pei Residence. What left a deep impression on her that night was Pei Jingzhou’s words. ‘You’re back.”
She had always thought that he had said that because she was so much like his first love that when he saw her, he had hallucinated and thought that his first love had returned. Later, and only now, did she know that there was no substitute. The first love was her, and so was his only wife. That “you’re back” was meant for her. It had nothing to do with anyone.
This was the only way Pei Jingzhou could keep her by his side.
And the so-called first meeting was actually a new life that she had just lost her memory and had her other memories tampered with.
This dream seemed to have been going on for too long, so long that Li Xiwu felt that she was about to fall into an eternal sleep. Why wasn’t she awake yet…
“Little You.”
“My darling.”
Falling into the dark abyss, she finally heard a voice. That voice was trying to wake her up. At that moment, her consciousness turned into a gust of wind and she tried to rush upward, trying to break through the abyss and see light again. “Little You.”
“Little You…
The calls finally woke Li Xiwu.
She opened her eyes and stared blankly for a long time. She didn’t know what time it was, but her vision was blurry at first. She closed and opened them repeatedly before her vision slowly cleared.
The dream wasn’t complete.
Li Xiwu dreamed intermittently of some of her past in Country T. Those past memories originally did not exist in her memories, but when they appeared in her dreams frame by frame, she could feel that she had experienced everything.
In this dream, she was very confused and sad. She did not completely remember her past, but she personally experienced all kinds of past events. The only thing worth being happy about was that she saw her mother, MO zhu.
“Old Madam, Young Miss is awake.”
It was Dao Xi’s voice.
Li Xiwu wanted to turn in the direction of the voice. When she turned around, she saw Guan Suling’s worried face.
“Darling.” Guan Suling’s eyes were red. She wanted to touch her, but she did not know where to start. She looked a little at a loss.
Li Xiwu moved her lips. “Grandma.”
After calling her grandmother, she was sure she was really awake. She was free to make a sound, not like in her dream, when it became difficult to speak and she could only experience everything that had happened in a hoarse voice.
Guan Suling watched as Li Xiwu woke up and felt relieved. “Dao Xi, call the doctor.”
Dao Xi immediately went out to call the doctor.
After a round of check ups, Li Xiwu’s health was fine. The injuries were mainly focused on the head. There was a lot of blood. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time. It was not a big problem.
After stabilizing, the doctor said, “The patient needs a good rest. She might wake up tonight or tomorrow.”
That sounded reassuring. However, Guan Suling did not see Li Xiwu wake up with her own eyes. She was worried, so she stayed by the bed and did not leave. She had been guarding quietly. At first, she did not try to wake Li Xiwu.
Until Li Xiwu fell into a nightmare. She clearly had a sleeping face, but her brows would frown from time to time, and then she would cry.
Guan Suling did not know what sad thing Li Xiwu had encountered in her dream. She was also crying when she fell asleep, so she shouted a few times.
Finally, Li Xiwu woke up.
“Grandma,” Li Xiwu called out.
Guan Suling looked lovingly at Li Xiwu’s pale face. “Good girl) tell me.”
Li Xiwu asked, “What time is it?”
Beside her, Dao Xi replied, “Miss, it’s already seven in the evening.”
Li Xiwu thought that the live broadcast shouldn’t be over yet, but even if it wasn’t, it was impossible for her to go back and continue recording in her current terrible condition.
As for what happened in the afternoon, she asked, “Where’s Qi Zishen?”
She remembered that the driver had knocked Qi Zishen out.
Guan Suling snorted coldly. “I gave him a pair of silver handcuffs.”
This time, Qi Zishen was considered an attempted murder. No matter what, he could not escape the outcome of being imprisoned. His next state should have been to retreat from the industry. Although he no longer appeared on the screen frequently, his various private investment industries were doing well. Other than those glamorous reputations, he could also live a better life.
But he had been impulsive once, and only this time, had ruined all his future.
From what Dao Xi said, the matter of Qi Zishen’s arrest had yet to be made public. He would handcuff him to the small black room. After the interrogation and the process, the Capital Public Security Bureau would publicize Qi Zishen’s arrest and his crimes on the Internet at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.
There was no doubt that what he had done wrong this time would put him in prison.
Guan Suling asked Dao Xi to call for a maid and helped Li Xiwu sit up. Then, she picked up a cup of warm water. “Darling, drink some water.”
Li Xiwu did not feel a headache as she lay down. When she sat up, she felt a dull ache from the wound on her forehead. She reached out to take the warm water from Guan Suling. Guan Suling said, “Grandma will feed you.”
Li Xiwu wanted to say no. But Guan Suling had already fed her the water with a spoon. Li Xiwu did not refuse again. After drinking some water, her throat felt a little better.
Guan Suling handed the cup to the servant and turned to ask, “Are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to cook porridge.”
Li Xiwu shook her head. Her head was very bloated now, and she did not feel hungry at all. She asked, “This doesn’t seem to be a hospital. Is this the MO Residence?”
Guan Suling said, “Darling, this is a hospital. It’s the best ward.”
Li Xiwu already knew her current situation. Her grandmother had arranged the best ward in the hospital for her. Currently, only her grandmother and the people around her knew about her car accident. No one else knew yet.
No, she did not return to North Water Town and did not appear in the live broadcast. Pei Jingzhou would not be able to wait for her after the live broadcast ended.
She said to Guan Suling, “Grandma, I want to make a call.”
“You’re calling that Pei guy, right?” Guan Suling asked.
Li Xiwu nodded. “Yes, I’m afraid he’ll be worried.”
Guan Suling said, “He already called you. I answered. I said I picked you up halfway back to the MO Residence?’
Li Xiwu looked at Guan Suling in confusion. The anger in Guan Suling’s heart had yet to dissipate. “He secretly hid you by his side. I haven’t settled this score with him yet.”
Li Xiwu smiled bitterly. “He did it for
Guan Suling said, “I know. He did it so you won’t be reminded of the past, but he should have told me that. I… I would have held back from coming to see you.” Actually, she might not have been able to hold back.
At this point, Guan Suling remembered that Li Xiwu had cried in her sleep. She asked with concern, “Darling, what did you dream about? You were crying so sadly even when you were asleep.”
Li Xiwu was stunned.
What was she dreaming about…
Her dream was incomplete, but she was so sad. It was as if she had lost her parents and her own child.. The dream was so real…
