Chapter 206 Forgot Him
"I'll be there soon."
Chi Ruiche stopped in his tracks just before entering the Chengqing Building, his heart skipped a beat, and he left without looking back.
"Xiao Che, where are you going?"
Wen Lan grabbed Chi Ruiche and asked, puzzled.
"Mom, I have something important to do, so I can't attend today's board meeting."
Chi Ruiche's hands, hidden inside his suit jacket, were damp with sweat, and his clenched fists trembled slightly. He was trying his best to control an indescribable anxiety.
"Because of Jiang Yi?"
"Mom, I'm sorry."
“Today, Chi Chengting will be officially announced as the group's president, and you won't have an advantage at the shareholders' meeting later.” Wen Lan emphasized the importance of today's meeting again, trying to calm him down.
"Today is just a formality; what Grandpa has made up his mind will not change."
“I’ve already made arrangements. As long as you’re there, there will be people who object, and the matter will be postponed. We’ll then have time to rethink our plans.”
Rumors about Chi Ruiche are circulating widely within the Chi family, and many people are watching the competition between Chi Ruiche and Chi Chengting.
"I go first."
Without giving Wen Lan a chance to speak, Chi Ruiche strode into the car and sped away.
Jiang Yi curled up in the corner in pain. Her dementia had made her once bright eyes empty, and her messy hair clung to her tear-stained face, devoid of any spirit.
Lü Haotian and Zheng Sicheng arrived earlier than Chi Ruiche, while Youming was placed outside the room, meaning "for protection".
Lu Haotian tiptoed closer to Jiang Yi, a smile on his face, and said in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid, Yi Yi."
Lu Haotian's voice, like a clear stream, echoed in the quiet room. His gaze was firm and profound; meeting his eyes, Jiang Yi felt as if she were being drawn in by a magnet.
"I know you've had a tough time, just forget it all. Forget about all those painful people and things."
"They don't love you, only I love you the most."
"Grandpa! Che! Where are you going?"
Jiang Yi was confused again. She slumped to the ground, her voice hoarse, calling out to them.
"Chi Rui-che's appearance brings you the most painful memories. As long as he wasn't there, Grandpa would have continued to live in New Zealand."
"You're afraid of him."
"Without him, none of this would have happened."
"Forget him, forget him."
Time rewinds in Jiang Yi's mind: her grandfather covered in a white sheet, Chi Ruiche covered in blood, her mother's photo on the tombstone, Li Yue lying in a pool of blood—everything returns to its starting point.
"who are you?"
Jiang Yi's chest heaved, and she lowered her eyes helplessly. Tears of pain and sorrow slid down her cheeks and dripped into her palm.
“I am Lü Haotian, your most trusted second brother, and the person you love most.”
It sounded as if water droplets were hitting the rocks all around, "drip-drip," slowly and crisply.
Jiang Yi closed her eyes, listening to the sound of dripping water seeping into her heart, as if stirring ripples within her. A lotus flower emerged from the water, a petal unfolding with each drop of water.
The sound of dripping water stopped abruptly. Jiang Yi's body felt as if the flow of water had been cut off. She opened her eyes with a slight sense of confusion. Something was floating in her mind. She tried to recall it, but it was shrouded in a heavy fog.
Seeing Jiang Yi frown and shake his head as if he was thinking, Lü Haotian noticed that Jiang Yi was frowning and shaking his head.
"The doctor said you can go home tomorrow."
Jiang Yi looked surprised and bewildered. Had she forgotten something important? What had she just been doing?
"go home?"
"Second brother?"
Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment.
"Are you hungry? I've prepared your favorite food, and some fruit for dessert, peaches!"
"Want to eat."
Upon hearing the word "peach," Jiang's doubts were replaced by affection, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
"I want to eat a peach!"
A scene flashed through my mind: a figure with their back to me, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, standing under the light, carefully selecting items.
"I feed you."
Lu Haotian offered a piece of peach to Jiang Yi's lips, interrupting his thoughts.
