Pei Jingzhou did not brush her off this time. He had promised Li Xiwu that he would arrange a doctor for the next two days. He meant what he said and almost without delay. Two days later, Li Xiwu received a call from the psychiatrist from back then.
At that moment, she had just finished her morning meeting and came out of the meeting room. She was waiting for the elevator to return to the office downstairs. The elevator arrived, but she didnât enter. She turned to the corridor window and picked up the call. âHello, this is Li Xiwu.â
A young manâs voice came from the other end of the line. âHello, Mrs. Pei.â
Li Xiwu took down her cell phone and looked at the phone. After confirming that it was an unfamiliar number with no caller ID, she pressed the phone back to her ear. âYou are?â
The man introduced himself in a gentle voice. âIâm Jiang Ce.â
Jiang Ceâ¦
Li Xiwu quickly filtered the name in her mind. She didnât have any memories. It seemed that she really didnât know him. At least until she met this person, Li Xiwu really couldnât remember if she knew someone called Jiang Ce. She asked the other party why he had made this call.
There was a smile in Jiang Ceâs voice. âI was your hypnotist back then.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiwuâs breathing stopped. She suddenly gripped her cell phone tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white. On the other end of the line, Jiang Ce seemed to be able to sense her emotions. Actually, it was obvious just by thinking about it. After all, he was the key character in her memory loss.
âMrs. Pei, I didnât contact you unilaterally. It was Mr. Peiâs idea, so I took the initiative to contact you. Sorry to disturb you.â Jiang Ceâs tone was neither fast nor slow, making her feel inexplicably relieved.
Li Xiwu said, âNot at all, Doctor Jiang.â
Jiang Ce asked, âWhen is it convenient for you to be free? We have to meet first.
Li Xiwu raised her eyes and looked out of the window. âItâs convenient for me. Doctor Jiang can decide.â
Jiang Ce said, âFrom what Mr. Pei said, Mrs. Pei is a little anxious about this matter. Since Mrs. Pei just said that itâs convenient, how about today?â
Today⦠was indeed too sudden. However, what she said just now came from Li Xiwuâs mouth, so she naturally could not go back on her word easily. She nodded. âOkay, this number is Dr. Jiangâs WeChat, right?â
âYes,â Jiang Ce replied. âPrivate WeChat.â
Li Xiwu said, âThen Iâll add you later. Clear it and send it to me after confirming the address.â
Jiang Ce replied, âOkay.â
After ending the call, Li Xiwu sighed. She was clearly the one who desperately wanted to recover her memories, but when she brought the process up, she became timid again. She stared out the window for a long time, then picked up her phone and copied the phone number from before. She opened WeChat to search.
Two minutes later, she and Jiang Ce were each otherâs friends.
Jiang Ce sent a location: Iâll wait for Mrs. Pei here before eleven-thirty.
Li Xiwu clicked on the location. It was a relatively high-end cafe.
Exiting the location, she typed a reply: Iâll be there on time.
Jiang Ce did not reply. Li Xiwu also put away her cell phone. She turned around and took the elevator downstairs to her office.
Tomorrow night was the annual banquet. It was definitely busy, so this morningâs meeting was half an hour longer than usual.
The annual banquet of the entertainment media company was similar to the process of other large companies. The only difference was that the other companiesâ annual meetings were all company employees. Other than the company employees, all the artists of Hua Guan Media were invited to the annual banquet.
An artist wanted to produce a picture, and the scene had to be big. All the equipment would be carried out according to the standards of the red carpet. It was also the companyâs own business, so all aspects would be supervised in a more meticulous and strict manner.
Li Xiwu was busy with the annual banquet tomorrow night when she received a call. Her expression darkened. After ending the call, she called Yuanyuan. âBring her here.â With that, she hung up and continued to deal with the things in her hands.
Half an hour later, Yuanyuan knocked on the door and entered. âMiss Li.â
Li Xiwu looked up and saw Yuanyuan enter. She did not see Xue Jinzhu behind her and asked, âWhereâs Xue Jinzhu?â Yuanyuan pointed at the door. Li Xiwu did not have a good expression on her face, and her tone was a little cold. âCall her in.â
Yuanyuan took a few steps back and said to Xue Jinzhu, âMiss Li wants you to go in.â
Xue Jinzhuâs eyes were red. âIâm too ashamed to see Miss Li.â
Yuanyuan persuaded her, âItâs already happenedâ¦â
âAlright, alright, alright!â Xue Jinzhu interrupted Yuanyuanâs persuasion.
âYouâve said this to me more than ten times. My ears are almost calluses.â
Yuanyuan fell silent and looked at Xue Jinzhu silently. This gaze made Xue Jinzhu feel guilty for a few seconds. She sniffled and said, âIâve already beaten him up. If the other party wants to sue me, just sue me. At most⦠Iâll apologize.â
Yuanyuan gave her a thumbs up. âYou have a plan.â
âHmph!â Xue Jinzhu composed herself and walked into Li Xiwuâs office with her head held high. At this moment, Li Xiwu was focused on her computer. When she heard the voice, she casually glanced at Xue Jinzhu, who had entered, and continued to deal with her work.
Xue Jinzhu did not dare to disturb her and stood quietly at the side.
Li Xiwu sent an MSN to Qi Jiangchi. The content was the other invitation list she had just checked. After finishing her work, she moved her chair and looked up at Xue Jinzhu, who was standing obediently outside the desk.
Xue Jinzhu sensed Li Xiwuâs gaze and lowered her head even more, not daring to look at her.
Li Xiwu shouted, âXue Jinzhu.â
Xue Jinzhuâs shoulders trembled and she slowly turned her head. She only
dared to glance at Li Xiwuâs expression from the corner of her eye.
Seeing Li Xiwuâs shocked expression, Xue Jinzhu swallowed hard. âMiss⦠Miss
Li Xiwu folded her hands and placed them gently on the table. She asked Xue Jinzhu, âDo you know what trouble youâve caused?â
Xue Jinzhu nodded obediently.
Li Xiwu said, âAnswer me.â Xue Jinzhuâs muffled voice said, âI know.â
Li Xiwu frowned. âLouder.â
Li Xiwu suddenly stood up, and the movement almost scared Xue Jinzhu to tears. Actually, Li Xiwu was not scary, and her aura was not scary. However, Xue Jinzhu had done something wrong. She was guilty and flustered, and her face was pale. That was why she was so frightened that she trembled again.
If Li Xiwu were a man, she would have already felt pity for Xue Jinzhu. Li Xiwu couldnât help but laugh. âWhat are you afraid of?â Xue Jinzhuâs voice was as thin as a mosquito. ââ¦I hit someone.â
Li Xiwu said, âSo youâre afraid that Iâll hit you too?â
Xue Jinzhu nodded subconsciously. When she reacted, she immediately shook her head. âNo, no.â
Li Xiwu sat down again and looked up. She asked calmly, âTell me what happened and how you quarreled with the other party. In the end, you fought. Donât hem and haw. There are no outsiders here. Tell me clearly.â
Xue Jinzhu asked first, âMiss Li, have your anger passed?â
