Chapter 234 - 234 Profound Thought
234 Profound Thought
The woman woke up and became highly dependent on Su Fengchen, so he felt helpless. The woman would follow or pull his arm wherever he went, even though Su Fengchen told her many times not to do that.
She would also look at Su Fengchen aggrievedly, and he felt guilty. He could only compromise and allow the woman to pull on his sleeves. He could tell that the woman must have experienced something traumatic. Otherwise, she would not look at others with a cautious gaze.
Moreover, she probably depended on him because she lacked a sense of security. Su Fengchen only wanted the woman to recover so she could remember what happened and return home as soon as possible. Indeed, staying at his house was not ideal.
Su Fengchen instantly felt uneasy when he saw his niece. Still, he could feel more relaxed whenever he faced his parents. The main reason was that the woman was tugging at his sleeve, and he wanted to remove her hand from it.
Nonetheless, the woman held onto his sleeve tightly. Su Fengchen blushed as he said, “h.e.l.lo, Binglan.”
Su Binglan looked at her uncle’s expression and found it amusing. She did not expect her uncle to have an innocent side.
Su Fengchen was handsome and refined with fair skin. He would not get tanned no matter how much time he spent in the sun. Seeing such a person made one feel comfortable, especially when he blushed.
The woman looked at Su Fengchen’s appearance and was stunned. She did not have many memories and only thought he was good-looking.
Old Madam Su greeted the woman and called her over, “Zhizhi, this Fengchen’s niece. Her name is Su Binglan, ”
The women did not move but looked at Su Fengchen instead. Only when she saw him nod did she go and gently greet Su Binglan, “h.e.l.lo, niece.”
‘Huh?!’ Su Binglan looked at her uncle and the woman for a moment and seemed to understand something. She naturally extended her hand to greet the woman, “h.e.l.lo, is your name Zhizhi?”
Zhizhi nodded and said, “Yes, I remembered my name is Zhizhi.”
Su Binglan listened and carefully observed the woman. ‘It seems she can only remember a little.’
She asked gently, “What’s your surname?”
Zhizhi pondered and frowned. It seemed she could not recall anything. She shook her head, saying, “I don’t remember.”
Su Binglan took a closer look at the woman to ensure she was not lying. She thought someone had provoked that woman.
The woman’s appearance and temperament were extraordinary, and it seemed like she did not come from an ordinary family either.
Su Binglan thought she could figure out where the woman came from if the woman knew her surname. Still, she could not determine it now.
Zhizhi was still in deep thought when Su Binglan said, “Don’t think about it too much if you can’t remember.”
Zhizhi nodded. “Yeah, just thinking about it gives me a headache.”
However, Su Binglan knew the woman was subconsciously resisting some of her memories, so she could only wait for the woman’s mood to improve before the woman could remember things naturally.
Su Binglan could not force the woman to remember it. Perhaps forgetting specific painful memories was a form of protection for some. Therefore, Su Binglan would not drug the woman to remind her of her memories because it would be unfair to the woman.
Old Madam Su waved at her granddaughter and said, “Binglan, let’s go check on the grilled chicken and roast duck.”
Then she turned to her son and said, “Bring Zhizhi and wash your hands. We’ll eat in the house soon.”
Su Fengchen nodded as Old Madam Su held Su Binglan’s hand and entered the house.
“I prepared the chicken last night, so it’s ready now. I left it in the pot and didn’t let anyone touch it. The roast duck is there and should be ready too.”
Su Binglan nodded.
When Old Madam Su and her granddaughter entered the house, Old Madam Su leaned closer to her granddaughter and whispered, “The woman only remembers her name, nothing else.
“Also, your uncle was the first person she saw when she woke up, so she relies on and trusts him a lot, especially because your uncle cared for her all night. We told her that she didn’t know who Fengchen was and that he was the one who saved her.
“She only wrote a sentence on paper, saying she should repay him with her body. She’s always following your uncle around too.”
Su Binglan’s expression changed. “She can write?”
Old Madam Su nodded and answered, “Yes, she can. Her handwriting is pretty good too. She doesn’t make gestures but can write on the ground to communicate more complicated matters.”
Su Binglan drifted into profound thought as she listened to those words because she remembered her conversation with her husband.
She remembered making a three-year promise with Luo Jin’an that she would cure his condition. Luo Jin’an also promised something during their conversation, saying it was a favor for saving his life.
Previously, Su Binglan did not understand what her husband meant, so she asked, “So what if I’m doing you a favor by saving your life?”
Luo Jin’an said, “Of course, I must repay you for saving my life by…”
Su Binglan thought her husband’s unfinished sentence was rather odd. At that time, she thought Luo Jin’an was going to say something sensual, so she asked, “What do you want to do to repay me?”
“Don’t you want me to repay you?”
Su Binglan did not realize that before, but after thinking of it now, she discovered something, and her expression changed.
‘Did he mean that last time, or did he mean something else?’ Su Binglan’s heart trembled chaotically.
Old Madam Su was talking to her granddaughter but did not get a response for a long time. She looked at her granddaughter’s expression and thought something was off. “Binglan?”
Su Binglan returned to her senses and asked, “Grandma, are you planning to let Zhizhi stay here for the time being?”
Old Madam Su said, “Sigh, I don’t know what to do either, so let’s ignore her. She has no memories right now, so where can she go? Since she depends on Fengchen, it won’t be a big deal if they like each other.
“The main issue is her amnesia. Much can change if she can recall some past events. Your grandfather and I aren’t desperate for your uncle to marry a girl from a wealthy family and only want him to find one from a good family. We don’t expect much, only that Fengchen and his future partner care for each other.”
Old Madam Su looked conflicted and perturbed as she spoke.
Su Binglan comforted her, “You don’t have to worry so much, Grandma. I don’t think Zhizhi is bad, but we’ll wait and see. She will remember what happened eventually. After all, she just woke up, so it’s normal not to remember anything.”
Old Madam Su’s mood improved exponentially after Su Binglan comforted her. “You’re right. We can’t rush things, can we? Everything will be okay once Zhizhi remembers what happened.”
Su Binglan talked to her grandmother for a while and saw the grilled chicken and roast duck. She tasted them alongside Old Master Su, Old Madam Su, Su Fengchen, and Shishi. They all thought the grilled chicken and roast duck tasted exceptional.
