Hua Tuo had gone, who had no interest in everything except for medical skills. As for Bear and the rest two, they were all driven away by Jiang Rui. However, Ying Cheng got a chance to stay with the excuse to take Hei Zi for a pee downstairs.
“I’m going to cook. Stay with Tuan Zi.” Jiang Rui rose up but his sleeve was pulled by Tuan Zi. She asked, “Dad, when will mom wake up?”
Jiang Rui and Ying Cheng looked at each other and then Jiang Rui sat back on the sofa to hold Tuan Zi. He said, “It’s not your fault but your mom’s.”
“If I hadn’t insisted on learning shooting, Mom would have not pa.s.sed out.” Tuan Zi felt deeply sorry.
Ying Cheng comforted her too right away, “Tuan Zi, you didn’t mean it. Your mom was only too excited. She’ll wake up and be fine.”
“Are you sure she’ll wake up!” Tuan Zi was still worried so she jumped up from Jiang Rui’s arms and added, “I’ll stay with Mom!”
“Let her go.” Jiang Rui stopped Chengcheng who was about to hold Tuan Zi. “Don’t you promise to take care of Hei Zi? Walk the dog downstairs.”
Chen Chen had slept until it was dark. When Jiang Rui put the dinner on the table and was about to call Tuan Zi to take her meal, Tuan Zi rushed out.
“Dad! Mom woke up.”
Jiang Rui nodded and said, “I see it.”
Chen Chen who was behind Tuan Zi was slowly walking towards the living room like a half-dead person. Seeing Jiang Rui standing there doing nothing, she reached out trembling and said, “Did you just knock me out?”
Ying Cheng who went back with Hei Zi was suddenly amused by these words. “Bother, now I’m sure my sister’s IQ has transformed into muscles.”
“Mom, you just pa.s.sed out.” Tuan Zi pulled her to the dinner table, and said, “Dad has made you walnut milk, good for the brain!”
Chen Chen wasn’t touched for the least for she didn’t think she needed brain-boosting. She just sat angrily and had a taste of it.
“It was so delicious…”
“Thank… thank you.” She glanced at Jiang Rui weirdly and said, “Tuan Zi told me you had called a doctor. Am I really fine?”
Jiang Rui lifted Tuan Zi to the children’s chair and replied, “You’re fine.”
“But sister, don’t scare us again, please. Tuan Zi just cried out in fright,” Ying Cheng said while eating. “Did you always pa.s.s out like this?”
Chen Chen shook her head and replied, “I seldom get sick.”
It proved that one should not marry a ferocious man. Now she felt so unwell, devastated both mentally and physically.
“You finally acquire more skills than others,” Jiang Rui slowly said, “pa.s.sing out was no easy for any other person.”
Chen Chen put on a false smile and said, “I don’t desire that skill at all!”
“You can’t help it because it’s up to your IQ.”
Chen Chen stared at Jiang Rui and at the same time she noticed Ying Cheng was still laughing, so she cursed. “Laugh! Be cautious of choking yourself.”
Probably being scared, Tuan Zi clung to Chen Chen the whole night, following her like a little tail after dinner. Jiang Rui took a look at Ying Cheng and then they walked into the study.
“What’s wrong with sister?” Ying Cheng must be an idiot for sure if he couldn’t find the problem.
A normal person wouldn’t get so high an IQ. The gene of the offsprings of the Ying family and the Wan family had been improved. But how did Chen Chen do it?
“I suspect she might have forgotten something, something she doesn’t want to recall.”
“Memory loss?”
Jiang Rui shook his head and said, “Unlikely.”
“Then what’s the story?”
“Regardless of this, I thought she might have something to do with our family,” Jiang Rui looked at Ying Cheng and said, “Don’t you think she’s familiar?”
Ying Cheng shook his head and said, “I definitely didn’t see her before.”
“But my uncle saw her before and he thought her familiar.”
“What about you?” Ying Cheng asked in wonder, “Don’t you remember everyone you meet?”
Jiang Rui frowned and replied, “She’s in my memory but because of her special scent, I can’t remember.”
Ying Cheng thought it over and said, “Take her with us to our base in the Spring Festival!”
“This is my plan.” Jiang Rui wouldn’t allow any danger or accident to stay by his side and he must figure out what Chen Chen had kept from him.
In the same while, Chen Chen let Tuan Zi paly with Hei Zi, and she went back to the bedroom to connect Ah Zi online.
“You look good. Everything goes well?” Ah Zi asked her eating instant noodle on the other side of the screen.
Chen Chen didn’t make fun of her as usual but looked so serious.
Ah Zi sensed something wrong with her and asked, “What’s the matter? The War G.o.d knows you are the Black Wind?”
“I suspect that Ying Cheng staying in my house is one of the Ying family.” Chen Chen took her phone and continued, “I’ll send you a photo that I took secretly. Help me to investigate him.”
Ah Zi nodded but seeing no smiling face on her, she discouraged her, “Actually, you have been sure of it?”
“There is a Ying Cheng in my memory but I didn’t think of him before,” Chen Chen said, frustrated. “It suddenly hit me when I pa.s.sed out today.”
“Pa.s.sed out?” Ah Zi asked in wonder, “what’s the matter?”
After hearing what had happened to Chen Chen today, Ah Zi looked at her in silence.
“What do you mean?”
“You shouldn’t force to control your memory.” Ah Zi frowned and added, “your body has rejected it. By the way, that thing has been over for a long time. Do you want to escape it forever?”
Chen Chen suddenly covered her ear and said, “Don’t say that. I don’t want to hear that.”
When Ah Zi was about to say something, Chen Chen said, “I’m going to bed now. Catch you next time!” Then she ended the video call quickly.
“Mom?”
Chen Chen turned back with a rush, only to find that Tuan Zi holding Hei Zi was looking at her discreetly. The little girl’s eyes were like the dog’s, round and widely open.
“Ha!” Chen Chen poked Hei Zi’s nose and said, “people say that you look like what you keep. You are going to take after him more and more.”
“Mom, it means behavior, not appearance.” Tuan Zi later felt relieved seeing her mom was alright for she became silly again. Chen Chen held her in arms and said, “Let’s go take a bath!”
After the bath, Tuan Zi went to the study to say good night to Jiang Rui. However, Chen Chen was not sleepy at all because of too much sleep in the afternoon so she was watching TV in the living room. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
“Who would come this late?” Chen Chen mumbled to herself. She looked outside through the see-through hole and then she chuckled and ran into the study without knocking the door. “The War G.o.d Jiang, your fan has just come,” she said.
“What?” Ying Cheng didn’t understand it while Jiang Rui stood up and said, “Let’s have a look.”
When they opened the door, the person outside rushed in. “Rui!”
“Pooh…” Chen Chen coughed covering her chest.
Ying Cheng winked at her, smiling.
“What brings you here?” Jiang Rui retreated a few steps, frowning.
“My grandma’s sister told me to come!” The woman with beautiful features, in a white dress and covered with a thin coat, looked like a lily in the valley, delicate and charming in the cold winter’s day.
Chen Chen didn’t want to stand at the door. She poked Jiang Rui and suggested, “Talk inside?”
“No.” Jiang Rui’s voice sounded even colder than usual, seemingly angry.
Ying Cheng c.o.c.ked his eyebrows and said, “Sister, how can one easily let a woman in so late at night?”
“Rui…” The woman’s tears came out and she looked at Chen Chen. “Nice to meet you. You must be Chen Chen. I heard you from my grandma. I’m Song Meiyu,” she said.
Her surname was Song? Then the so-called grandma’s sister must be Song Chunli.
Jiang Rui had lost his patience and said, “Get out.”
“It’s raining outside. It’s so late and you don’t even let me in?” Song Meiyu asked him crying. “My grandma’s sister told me to visit you and you…” She suddenly stepped forward and held Chen Chen’s hands. “Chen Chen, I just went from abroad and have nowhere to go. Could you let me stay for a few nights with you?”
Chen Chen just wanted to roll her eyes. She took out her hand and pushed Ying Cheng to the front and said, “Look, you are a little bit late.”
“I can sleep in the study!” Song Meiyu looked at her sincerely.
“I had said you were late and he would sleep in the study.” Chen Chen really wanted to speak it out but her relationship would be revealed if she said so.
Jiang Rui’s face got terribly dark. He drew Chen Chen behind him and kicked out Song Meiyu’s luggage and was about to close the door.
“Rui! Cousin!” Song Meiyu was anxious to get in and had no time to worry about her luggage.
Chen Chen and Ying Cheng looked excited seeing that Jiang Rui lifted his foot to kick Song Meiyu. Then a miserable scream was heard and she had just been kicked up to at the elevator, heavily falling on the door of it.
Bang! Jiang Rui shut the door and turned around to look at them coldly. “You look so happy?” he asked.
“Ah! I’m too sleepy and I’m going to take a bath and go to bed!” Ying Cheng pretended to give a yawn and slipped away.
Chen Chen chuckled and said so boldly, “Actually you should let her in to have a gla.s.s of water!”
“Do you think whoever can come to my house?” Jiang Rui seemed to think of something distasteful with a look of disgust.
“Oh, no matter who comes in, I can drive away him?”
Jiang Rui looked at her and said, “Whatever.”
It proved later Chen Chen’s words were very prophetic.
The next morning, Ying Cheng and Tuan Zi went to the pet shop to take a shower for Hei Zi. Yet Chen Chen was doing yoga and Jiang Rui was in the library.
Chen Chen made such a fuss about putting a cushion on a floor, doing all kinds of twisting gestures. Jiang Rui went out to see her moving her legs up to her neck. He saw her for a while and then sat on the sofa.
“Do you need any help?”
Chen Chen noticed him coming from the beginning. She replied to him with a fake smile, “Do you want to break my legs?”
“In the long run, if you are disabled, the one who will really suffer will be me.” Jiang Rui gave himself a cup of tea. “I thought you were agile.”
“Being agile doesn’t mean one should fold himself into a ball.” Chen Chen said angrily, but she felt something wrong. “How do you know that I am agile?”
Jiang Rui looked at her mysteriously and said, “I’m just saying.”
When Chen Chen was going to make quips on him, the bell suddenly rang again.
“Your house is so frequently visited by others.” She didn’t bother to move. Apparently, she wanted someone to open the door.
“I think so. But most people are there to see you.”
Chen Chen went, “…”
When she saw it was a woman coming in, she was not surprised at all.
