NovelEnglish208 Remembering
Seeing this, Zhao Zhan quickly went over in a panic. “Jiaojiao?”
Jiaojia’s expression was obviously not right. Therefore, Zhao Zhan carried her to the bed and then quickly ran to call the doctor.
“Zhao Zhan? You’re back?”
“Doctor Sun, Jiaojiao’s head is hurting badly. Could you please take a look at her?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZhao Zhan’s heart was burning with anxiety, and he only anxiously responded to Doctor Sun before hurriedly asking for help.
Seeing him like this, Doctor Sun carried his medicine box without delay and said as he walked, “Did you tell her everything about Yang City? She’s at the critical moment of recovering her memory these few nights and hasn’t had a good rest. If you tell her now, it’ll be too much of a shock and it might cause a headache.”
It was too late for regrets. Zhao Zhan was now upset, but he could only try to remedy it. “Doctor Sun, do you have any way to help her relieve her pain?”
“Give me a moment.”
Zhao Zhan, who had been shut outside the door by Doctor sun’s words, obediently stood still.
An hour later, Doctor Sun came out of the room. “That’s enough. You can go in now.”
Zhao Zhan quickly thanked her and quickly entered the room. He sat in front of Yue Jiaojiao’s bed with a worried look. His beard had not been shaved for a few days, so it was black, thick, and long. His entire demeanor had a rough aura.
Yue Jiaojiao reached out and stroked his stubble. Her fingertips were slightly itchy, and she laughed weakly and said softly, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just remembered what I’d forgotten.”
From what she recalled, after her father and mother passed away, according to the Yue family’s rules, she, the only eldest daughter, should have taken over the Shang Seal. However, she was still young at that time and had been pampered by her parents, and had never been involved in the business. Therefore, she made a contract with the second branch, indicating that the second branch would temporarily take over the Shang Seal until she came of age. During this period, she would follow the second branch and learn from them seriously until the time came.
Eight months ago, she received a letter from her uncle’s house. The letter said that her uncle had missed her too much all these years and was now seriously ill, so he wanted her to go and visit him.
She had stayed at her uncle’s house for a few years when she was young, so she had a deep relationship with her uncle. In addition, after the second branch learned of this news, they had been gently advising her to go, so she packed her bags and took her servants to Bei City.
Who would have thought that when the carriage reached Huai County, they would encounter thieves?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHuai County was clearly a place with few mountains and flat rivers, not a suitable place to raise bandits, but she just had to meet a thief.
The servant was defeated by the thief after a few moves. He drove the carriage all the way to the foot of the mountain gaze. The carriage was damaged and the horse was injured. The nanny and she abandoned the carriage and got lost when they walked around the mountain. She happened to meet the thief again. Because she did not want to be humiliated, she chose to jump off the cliff.
Zhao Zhan listened to the heart-wrenching story and thought of the day when she was forced to the top of the mountain by several people and had no choice but to use this method. His heart felt like a knife stabbed into it and twisted every step of her story.
“Now you’re saying that the Yue family’s second branch announced to the outside world that I’ve already passed away a few months ago. Then, even if I appear now, it’s impossible for them to acknowledge my existence. Perhaps I’ll walk right into their trap instead.”
Yue Jiaojiao was exceptionally intelligent. In the process of sorting out the memories in her mind, she discovered many suspicious points.
“From the looks of it, the Yue family and the Lin family far away in the Bei City should have long been in cahoots with each other in order to openly and completely take the Shang Seal for themselves.
“But what I don’t know is that my uncle’s family is a family of scholars and has never been interested in business. They even looked down on my father back then, so why would they collude with the Yue family? I don’t really believe that my uncle would do something like this.”
