Chapter 333: Chapter 331 Memory Recovery (Part 1)
But it’s not surprising.
She almost killed Jiayi, which was outright attempted murder. How could Jiayi possibly forgive herself, let alone speak up for her?
Did she really get what she deserved?
Chu Xinyue slowly slumped down, and after a while, she gathered her spirits and returned to her silver car without even picking up her umbrella.
When she started the engine, the numbers on the speedometer unexpectedly grew bigger and the car’s speed got faster.
She had no intention of slowing down, as if in a trance, speeding on the road and overtaking several vehicles,
At the same time, a piercing pain in the lower left side of her chest made her consciousness begin to falter.
She knew this was a precursor to an episode; she should immediately step on the brakes and stop at the side of the road, or else a car accident might happen, but... she couldn’t control herself.
It was as if there was a demon inside her that desperately needed to be unleashed, driving Chu Xinyue to continue speeding forward recklessly.
Ahead, inside the Ya Family’s car.
The driver saw a familiar car in the rearview mirror, slithering like a snake in an S-shape down the road.
On the lane, other vehicles all made way one after another.
The driver instinctively slowed down: "It’s the second miss—"
Jiayi also saw clearly and was startled.
The car was as if driven by a drunken person, wobbling uncontrollably and accelerating forward.
Chu Xinyue was clearly in a very bad mood, or maybe she had completely lost her ability to judge normally.
"Should we get the second miss to stop?" asked the driver.
Jiayi frowned slightly, "Slow down a bit."
The driver temporarily reduced the speed, cruising slowly on the road, ready to wait for Chu Xinyue to catch up and persuade her to pull over to the side; after all, driving like this was incredibly dangerous, both for herself and pedestrians.
At that moment, the silver car gunned its engine, racing forward with a potency that seemed to grow more intense—
In the driver’s seat, Chu Xinyue also dimly perceived the familiar silhouette of the car ahead.
The girl in the backseat window was the one about to marry Ya Chen, and also the one who had stolen her credit...
Her mind wandered for a second or two, and the car was already beyond control, hurtling forward!
By the time she came to her senses, drenched in cold sweat, wanting to turn the steering wheel, the excessive strain of the day had left her completely drained, without any strength.
In her panic, she couldn’t even press the brake firmly!
The tires screeched against the pavement, and with that piercing noise, the car slammed heavily into the rear of the Ya Family’s vehicle!
The driver from the Ya Family had an ominous premonition but was caught off guard and couldn’t dodge in time—
Boom—
On the rain-drenched road, a loud crash resounded!
————**————
S Country, private hospital.
In the stark white surroundings of a hospital room.
Jiayi felt as if her head were splitting with pain, and her eyelids were heavy.
It took her quite a while to open her eyes,
After a long time, she realized that this was a hospital...
Hospital?
Right—
She remembered.
She seemed to be sitting in the car and then saw Chu Xinyue driving haphazardly, about to crash into them.
Because the driver saw that Chu Xinyue wasn’t acting normally on the road and was driving very slowly, he had no chance to dodge in time.
As Chu Xinyue was about to hit the rear end, she tried to turn the steering wheel and step on the brakes, but it was too late, and the silver car came charging in—
She was sitting in the back seat, only to feel a violent jolt from behind, and then she lost consciousness!
Chu Xinyue...
Chu Xinyue!
Suddenly, a clear image flashed across her mind.
At dusk, on the hillside of Huanglong Mountain’s hunting ground.
Following Chu Xinyue’s instructions, she arrived there.
Chu Xinyue said she had strolled to the outskirts near Huanglong Mountain to admire the scenery, but the mountain was cold, and she asked Jiayi to bring her some clothes.
Without a second thought, Jiayi hurriedly took a taxi and, upon reaching the cliffside, handed the clothes to Chu Xinyue, "Second sister, here are your clothes."
Chu Xinyue just coldly looked at her, and after a long while, slowly took the clothes. But whether intentional or not, her grip loosened, and the clothes fell near the edge of the cliff, blown by the wind to a spot less than ten centimeters from the abyss.
"Pick it up for me." The girl’s voice was like a stone on the edge of the cliff, icy cold, void of any liveliness.
Obediently, Jiayi walked to the edge of the cliff and bent down to pick it up.
But when she turned around, she saw Chu Xinyue approaching, blocking her way back, and steadily closing in.
Behind her was the cliff, and one false step could mean falling off.
Jiayi’s face showed deep panic; although she found it hard to believe, she still realized what Chu Xinyue intended to do, "Second sister, why would you—"
Chu Xinyue’s fair face, nearly translucent, flashed a trace of eeriness, "You should ask yourself, why did you steal my things?"
With those words, Chu Xinyue raised her hands and pushed Jiayi forcefully!
...
Jiayi shivered all over!
She remembered!
The memory was incredibly vivid!
It was Chu Xinyue, truly Chu Xinyue who had pushed her off the mountain.
Those days, the trip to China was nearly over, and they were about to return to S Country, Chu Xinyu dragged Chu Xinyue out for one last shopping spree, leaving Jiayi alone in the hotel.
Jiayi knew her purpose in coming to China was to take care of Chu Xinyue, so she didn’t mind and spent time alone in the hotel packing their luggage.
To her surprise, Chu Xinyue called in the evening, saying she was cold and asked Jiayi to bring her a piece of clothing near Huanglong Mountain.
Without suspicion, Jiayi took the clothes and went—
She never expected that Chu Xinyue actually intended to harm her!
No—
It wasn’t just these she remembered.
She recalled everything, from her childhood life with her mother in a small town, to her past with Nie Yixiao, and later her time with the Chu Family, and all her interactions with the Chu Family members!
Her mind was clear and lucid, as transparent as a mirror.
Since she was young, she lived with her mother, depending solely on each other for survival in a small Southeast Asian town predominantly populated by Chinese. They never considered being apart.
Her mother had once been an actress in China, though not famous, merely a bit player, but she was versatile, so she found a job as a dance performer in the town’s theater.
While her mother’s salary wasn’t high, the cost of living in the small town was low enough to support the two of them.
When Jiayi was fourteen, she also learned that she was born out of wedlock.
But she knew that her mother and biological father were childhood sweethearts who grew up together and were engaged as adults.
Unexpectedly, her father turned out to be a member of a prominent family in S Country, who had stayed in China temporarily due to his father’s political asylum.
Originally, her father did not wish to leave China and even less to part with her mother, but due to a car accident at that time, he was reluctantly brought back home by his family.
Once back, under his family’s pressure, he married another woman.
However, her father always had her mother in his heart, and secretly returned to China to be with her, which led to Jiayi’s conception.
Later, when her mother found out that her father was already married in S Country, she decisively took the unborn Jiayi and fled afar.
